Hyde then reveals the startling fact that Ogden had de- manded to know what he had done with the weapon. A coroner's jury charges the fugitive Jerry with killing his fa- ther. Henry Deacon, chief of po- lice, makes an amazing discov- ery—another Peterson revolver, gold-mounted and loaded with geld bullets—in Ogden’s desk. CHAPTER 15 SHADOWS OF OGDEN’S PAST I scarcely heard what MacNair said. Deacon's as- tonished me less than it had shocked my moral sense, for all day the trend of the evidence had been towards the conclusion implied by the finding of the pistol in Ogden’s room. “You have given us another fact to build a theory on, Deacon,” he was saying. fact hard and square, fast and_res “The theory?” Henry demanded, j bluntly. “Very well,” MacNair began. “Con- | ®8°. sider the facts.

You told me some- thing about this ‘Two Brothers’ mine of Ogden's. I wonder why Ogden called it the ‘Two Brothers’.. You said young Jerry wanted to open the mine and that Ogden refused to let him touch it. Interesting situation, don’t you think?” “You are trying to build their dif- ference of opinion into a motive!” I charged. MacNair grinned. “Don't fume so, Peebles. The cost of mining gold has gone down, but for this reason Ogden should have let his son open the mine unless he had a better reason for keeping it closed. He doesn’t seem to have given the boy the real reason.” Henry nodded. “It looks that way to me.” “Now take these specimens of gold- bearing ore,” MacNair went on. “Sup- pose they came from the ‘Two Broth- ers'—perhaps from a new vein Og- den didn't know of—” “That won't do,” I objected. “The mine is closed. Half the mountain- side slid down in front of it years “There may be an exposed vein somewhere. Let us assume Jerry found it. Naturally, he would want to cx- Ploit his discovery.

Wool Growers to Hold Mountrail Meeting Sheep growers of Mountrail county are to meet in the Stanley courthouse, Friday, June 7, at 2 p. m. for the pur- pose of deciding how their wool is to be marketed this year. Arrangements | are being made to obtain the services of A. C. Bjerkin, secretary of the state wool pool. to discuss the marketing of wool. The Farmers union has now affil- jated with the state wool pool and this will help much in securing a larger volume. Wool pools have helped to boost the price of w6ol and every wool grower in Mountrail county is urged to be at this mecting.

The seekers for the inspiration were the Bismarck Garden club, which paid the grounds an evening visit and studied the types of floral shrubbery beautification under the chaperonage of T. A. Killand, assistant horticul- turist at the station. Meeting at the Association of Com- merce, a half dozen cars took the visiting group over to the station at 7 o'clock. Killand was there waiting and the rounds of the grounds was at. once started. : Lilacs and Hedges Admired The party went to the edge and shrubbery plots, where the principal feature of study was the array of French lilacs. Club members are agreed on these as about the best type of shrubbery for adoption in the adornment of Bismarck lawns jand gardens. The station has about a dozen varieties of the lilacs in single and double blossom clusters. The Persian type in other sections of the grounds were admired later and pro- jMounced the finest of all.

Volunteer Beauty For the finish of the stroll Mr. Kil- jland took the party to a strip of tu- ‘lips, pansies and peonies along one of {the driveways. None of the peonies were in bloom, but the tulips and pansies were a riot of color. The whole strip was a survival of winter.

The mes- sage was written in 1896 and it ac- cuses one James Dillon of murder. Later on. we find evidence that leads us to believe Ogden has been paying Dillon blackmail for 26 years. It al- so turns out that Ogden desperately wanted this gold- mounted pistol himself. Hyde, it appears, bought it from this man Furie who called on Ogden. We also find in Ogden’s safe 26 poker chips and a deck of cards. Ogden was known to ‘be prejudiced against card-playing. “Why should Ogden have been pay- ing Dillon blackmail for 26 years? Why should Ogden want this gold- mounted pistol? Our feeling that {he was not the man the community supposed him to be, becomes cer- tainty. And now we have your dis- covery, Deacon, of this other gold- mounted pistol in Ogden’s room.” He paused. “I venture to say,” he went on. “that Alex Peterson, swashbuckler and gambler. and Andrew Ogden, our late exemplary citizen, and builder of San Felipe were one and the same man.” Again he paused. by ar .. furthermore.” Mac- ‘Nair continued ruthlessly, “that Dil- lon blackmailed.

MacNair bowed ironically. “By the way,” he resumed. “I wonder if either of you have forgotten the so- called legend of the ‘poker game that cracked the town'?” I jumped at this. “You mean that fool yarn about - Peterson playing poker for a human life?” I stormed. “My dear Watson! I was merely dropping a seed into the ground made fertile by our recent discoveries If that poker game should prove to be a fact it might have had something to do with Ogden’s death.” “It isn't a fact,” I said doggedly. But I wasn't so sure, for he had car- ried me along with the sweep of his logic. “What about those pieces of quartz?” I demanded. “There should be motive enough for you.” “I was coming to them. One speci- men was in Ogden’s desk; the. other was in Hyde's. I believe Furie could tell us something about them. At By Williams rage and, well—there you are.” “Yes!” I exploded. “Nowhere at all. In the first place, if these two specimens came from a new vein in the ‘Two Brothers,’ Hyde, also, knows of that vein; in the second place, you yourself expressed the opinion that Furie was an old prospector and that he knew something about the speci- mens, too; in the third place, you haven't got rid of Dillon yet. I don’t see why the greed motive shouldn't be as strongly operative in one man as in another.” “Neither do I,” he said, “but un- fortunately for your argument, which expresses my point of view so far as it goes, the other evidence implicates young Ogden and not Hyde or Furie. As for Dilion, I'll show you him dead or alive before I'm done. There's Mrs. Lundy, too. Ogden didn't give her $1,000 for nothing.” His arguments were sound, but be- fore I could reply Deacon spoke. “There’s sense in what he says, John. You might as well admit it. I'm sorry, but I can't get it out of my head that the boy did it. He may have come to blows with Andrew about the mine.” ~ “He wouldn't have stabbed his father in the back while he sat at the telephone!” I retorted indignantly. “Get your hands on James Dillon and you'll have Ogden’s murderer, Henry. And don't forget that Polyandria marked your man.” (Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co.) Where is Jerry?

At the pres- ent time he is feeding corn that is two years old. He also raises speltz, which is a mighty fine feed. “By raising these feeds and lots of livestock, I have been able to buy three quarters of land the past 11 years and make a good living,” de- clared Edwardson.

Mountrail Farmers Farmers in Mountrail county who are raising certified seed are finding that it pays @ good profit. Many farmers have sown certified seed this year, and it looks as though this county will profit by all the good seed that will be available another year. However, in order to realize a good margin of profit on the seed raised, growers are cautioned to be sure and have it certified. Growers wanting their fields certified must make appli- cation for field inspection before June 20, Blanks for applying for field in- spection may be secured through the county agent's office. U. 8.
