Thi hey were for- warded to their final destinations. Intended to Create Goodwill ‘The boxes have to be ready for shipment by October 25, in order to} reach their destined European schools | on time. The gifts are made with judgment. They are not in the nz ture of charity, but to manifest affec- tion and friendship, as well as to be indicative of what is best in American life, if possible something also that will provide fun for the recipients, something that they will enjoy having for practical use or something that will be treasured as a souvenir. As the Junior Red Cross is devoted to the principles of hygiene, the schools are urged-to send free samples of soap and tooth-paste, or miniature toilet equipment that will carry its own moral and convey a lesson in cleanliness. Presents that have been found to be very welcome are pencils, colored crayons, note books, calendars, paint boxes, bi-lingual dictionaries, sewing outfits, handkerchiefs, purse: toys, games and puzzles. Some ol these things went into the boxes sent to Norway from Bismarck. The idea also is to allay suspicion of the United States in the minds of the future citizens of the countries of Europe. With the Christmas boxes, a system of correspondence also is en- couraged, to bring the ties closer that thus bind the young of this nation and those of Europe with which these Christmas and corresponding rela- tions are maintained. Last Christ- mas, 85,000 such Christmas cartons were sent out as grectings of good- will and cheer. Unique Letters Convey Thanks The letters sent back in the form of thanks are very interesting. The Juniors of Kristiansund, for instance, sent a decorated sheet of drawing paper, on the border of which they had drawn various Norwegian pic- tures in pencil and colored crayon. Pelznickel, or Santa, is represented riding on a sled drawn by a fat pig and carrying back of him a collection of gifts. There are two corner Christ- mas trees. On one side is a boy with @ candelabrum and a pretzel, on the other side a girl in Norse costume bearing a huge Christmas cake on a plate. Santa is shown, also, carrying a Christmas tree and sitting down to @ bowl of some Norwegian delicacy. “Dear American Juniors,” says this certificate of thanks, “we thank all the city ipped to New York, —_____________» | Weather Report | (enc cnt Uae a ‘Temperature at 7 a. m. .

Had School Party on Box St. Mary's school received from St. Svithun school, Stavanger, a letter decorated with the Norwegian flag in colored crayons, which read: “One day after Christmas our teacher told us that a parcel had ar- rived, and two girls were sent to the postoffice to fetch it. On opening it we were very much surprised to find that it contained the most beautiful and useful presents from our Ameri- can friends. We had a very nice time receiving the gifts and everybody went home very delighted. We think it very kind of you to give us. such surprise and we all thank you for the nice presents.” Thanks From Fishing Town Another interesting letter came to you sent us for the Will school from Haugnes, say- j ing: “Once more we have received Christmas presents from you, and we are almost ashamed of getting pres- ents every year. “It's very nice when we can have a meeting and then can give out pres- ents for the children, and we thank you so very much for your kindness and that we have the opportunity of being acquainted with you. “Our society is so very little and seldom we have time to meet. with other children’s societies, therefore it's doubly nice to hear something from you so far away, “We are trying to get some moncy for the Red Cross in this place.

During the winter millions of kilo cod fish are lof you very much for the funny ! brought ashore and of course, among \the many fishermen there are always # few there are getting sick, and then it's nice to have some place where they can get good care. “We send our best wishes and thanks for the nice Christmas pres- ents and we wish you all and every- one a very happy and prosperous New Year. “Best regards from all of us in the children’s society of Haugnes, Nor- way.” Other letters were received by the junior high, the Wachter, the William Moore and the Richholt schools. Also one to Rufus Luary, from Kongsving- er, accompanied by a postcard of fine photo views of the place. These jun- jors sent a return box. A letter from Aamot to the Wach- ter school says: “The members of the Buskerud Junior Rode Kors send you their best thanks for the very lovely Christmas Presents you sent us. They are very glad to receive such greetings from their American friends—and especial- ly they wish to thank Mr. Billy Ban- field, member of student counell, 7B grade, Estes school, who has been as kind as to write us directly from the school that got the presents.” Clausen, Winge Open Bismarck Restaurant “The Bus Lunch,” new quick order restaurant in Bismarck, this weck is open for business. {.

An accesing fin- ger points at Jerry Ogden as the slayer of his father. Jerry's dif- ferences with him on reopening the deserted Terridity mine, their Jeng cenference just before the murder and Jerry's flight cast ugly implications. John Peebles feels a gnawing dread of the evi- dence against Jerry and decides that he will not disclose his dam- aging secrets because he is con- vinced that Jerry, Peebles’ niece, Lucy, is innocent. Torridity, ghost town of the dés- ert, is being drawn into the maze; Torridity, once dominated by Alex Peterson, whose gold-mounted revolver and gold bullets had been beught by Peebles in a mys- tery-tinted transaction. CHAPTER 4 GOLD BULLETS The dagger in Andrew's neck be- longed to Jerry. He had brought it up from South America with him. Its place was among other trophies of his in a glass-topped table cab- inet which stood behind the desk and against the north wall near the win- dows. So far as I could see there were no finger-prints on the glass. I went back to Andrew. By resting my cheek on the desk 1 could see into his face without lifting his head. I had known Andrew as a man en- dowed with a fine collection of the “civic virtues.” I mean that he was conscientious and eminently respect- able, restrained and judicial and suc- cessful, a pillar of the church and a member of the chamber of commerce, But from time to time I had felt that this conventional being wasn’t the real Andrew Ogden; that behind it lived and longed an audacious per- sonality he had never revealed to me but which, somehow, I had sensed and loved. Hubbard came in just then. “I didn't see Stimson around, sir.” “Never mind. He'll turn up.” I thought for a moment. “Has Mr. Og- den had any visitors lately, Hub- bard? Strangers, I mean.” “Why, yes, sir, he has. A man and @ woman. And a queer-looking pair they were. I was going to speak to you about them.” “Queer looking!” I exclaimed. “Who were they? When did they come?” “I don't know the woman's name, sir. She was here three or four days ago. She didn't come to the door. The master was in the grounds and he met her coming up the drive. They talked for a minute or two, then he brought her in here. She must have stayed an hour, She was one of those tall, angular, elderly females that seem to be all sinew and bone and tight-shut mouth.” “How was she dressed?” “That was the queer part of her She had on a black hat, a long black coat, and a long black dress. I couldn't help noticing the get-up. of‘ her, sir, Not a bit of color to her, sir. Even her eyes were black. k as coal.” “She sounds like a crank of some sort, Hubbard. ‘What about the other Person?” “Well, sir, he was just as queer, in his way. He came this afternoon. The look of him gave me a turn when I opened the door. I almost shut it in his face. He was a little crab- apple of a chap, in overalls and a torn coat, and all stooped and puckered. Eighty, if he was a day, a shock of hair as white as a clean napkin all over his head and neck, a stubble of whisker, a leathery skin like an old brown shoe, China-blue eyes all red around the rims, and an eight-side: glass stuck in his eye—that’s him, sir.” “An eight-sided glass!” I echoed. “You mean a lens of some sort?” “Yes, sir, And it was on one end GOLD BULLETS By CHARLES G.

And before I could prevent |him he hopped into the hall, shook j his fist in my face, and screamed: “‘Tell yer boss ol’ Furrie is here!’ “Luckily, Mr. Ogden looked into the | hall just then and asked him what he wanted “A word with ye in private” the old man cackled. “And do you know, sir, after think- ing a moment, Mr. Ogden brought him in here and shut the door! I was | stunned. Mr. Ogden has always been £0 particular about suspicious-looking characters.” “Did Mr. Ogden seem surprised at seeing the man?” I asked. “He did, sir. Dumbfounded, I might say. At first I thought he hadn't caught what Furie. said, Mr. Ogden being a trifle deaf in his left ear, as you know, sir; and then I heard him muttering the man’s name over and over. ‘Furie, Furie, Furie!’ Just like that.” “And you never saw this man be- fore, Hubbard?” “Never, sir.” “What time did he go?” “About six, I believe. Mr. Ogden then called in Mr. Jerry and instruct- ed me not to have them disturbed.” “When did you last. see Mr. Jerry?” T asked casually. “When Mr. Ogden called me in, sir. At six.” “How was he dressed?” I went on, in the same tone. “In his flannels, sir.” I shut my eyes for an instant. “Hubbard,” I resumed quietly, “did yeu chance to overhear any of the conversation between Furie and Mr. Ogden?” Hubbard flushed. “Well, sir, I did, but it was quite unintentional on my part. I was passing along the hall and I heard Mr. Ogden utter two words in angry tones. He shouted them and they quite startled me. I heard nothing else, sir.” “What were those words, Hub- bard?” “Gold bullets,’ sir.” I started so violently that Hubbard looked at me in surprise. It took me & moment to reassemble my scat- tered wits. Could it be possible that the Peterson revolver was in some way connected with Furie’s interview with Ogden? What a strange concurrence of events! First, Hyde’s refusal to tell me anything about the revolver; then, Andrew's telephone call, Jerry's white-flanneled figure flying down the drive, Andrew stabbed to death at the telephone; and finally, this thing Hubbard had told me. Were these events links of a chain that ran back into the limbo of Ogden’s past? And Jerry? For a moment my faith in him was shaken. Dreadful as my announcement to Lucy must be, would the truth com- pel me to make it inconceivably more 80? My agony of heart became uncn- durable. A heavy pounding sounded at the front door. Hubbard hurried into the hall. He reappeared with Henry Dea- con, Dr. Oakley, a local surgeon, and Thompson, a sergeant of detectives. (Copyright, 1929, William Morrow Co.) Hyde's secrecy about the revol- ver—Jerry's flight—Ogden’s mur- der—the “woman in black"— Furie—are they all part of the mystery? Continue this story tomorrow. Mill and Elevator Loses Near $50,000 First Four Months (Continued from page one? profit during March, generally re- garded as an unfavorable month for the milling business. “The puzzling thing.” Governor Shafer said, “is that the character of the business done during March was the same as that done during February and April, each of which showed a loss.

Seventy-six per cent of the purchases are from wheat or- iginated within the state and 24 per cent from without. “Thirty-two per cent of the pur- chases are from country elevators, in- dividuals and farmers ci tive associations who ship their grain di- rect, and 68 per cent from commis- sion firms representing country ele- vators, individuals and old line com- panies. “The elevator department records disclose that there was spring wheat stored under federal receipts as of this date 528,404 bushels and 150,049 bushels of durum wheat. I would recommend that as much of this wheat as can be purchased at the present premiums and prices be pur- chased and carried to insure an ade- quate supply of wheat to use in mix- ing with the new crop at the time the mill goes into the new wheat mix. Last season, we went into the new crop year with a very limited supply of old wheat and if it had not been for the fact that the new crop was of high protein quality, the results of such shortage of old wheat to mix would have been disastrous as we had sales on the books calling for high protein wheat which, if it could not have been gotten, would have resulted in poor quality of flour and dam- ages from purchasers of these con- tracts calling for high protein wheat mix. The present premiums are the lowest they have been for several years, and I believe if the present systems of buying wheat on a pre- mium basis is to be continued, they are certain to go up and not down.” Bismarck Business Forces Supporting Memorial Project (Continued trom page one) and immediate north and east of us. “It is this which makes me feel so strongly in favor of the proposed building,” continued the mayor. “With it we can always meet those occasions when the rest of our neighbors up to us to take the initiative.
