With Deacon and Peebles listening intently, Jerry relates the story of his father's last six hours as Alex Peterson—elx hours cf grim horror that changed the gambler cf Skull Valley into staid Andrew Ogden—a story that Og- den first revealed to his son a few hours before he was murdered. Peterson's brother, Jerry, had been given a miners’ trial and sentenced to hang. Breaking away from the men, he rushed to his brother's shanty. Peterson locks his brother into the Two Brothers mine and defies the menacing mob. | CHAPTER 34 HUMAN WOLVES Jerry's boyish eloquence had car- ried me back to the Torridity of yes- terday. The man I had known as Andrew Ogden was before me, the evening sun glinting on the gold bul- lets at his waist and on the gold fili- gree of his guh butts. I heard the shouting of the enraged miners rush- ing at him. “In those days a huge overhang of rock stuck out of the mountainside above the door,” Jerry was saying. “The crowd swooped onto the mine property, making a fearful racket, but when they saw dad thumbing his gun belt, they stopped and piled up in a semi-circle, hemming him in. Not too close, though. “Dad knew he couldn't hold them like that much longer. They weren't carrying ropes for nothing. “what'll you have, Lundy’ he drawied. “Lundy blinked through his cight- sided glasses. You'll hear more about those glasses presently. “That brother uh yourn, Ten-to- One.’ “‘What for?’ dad demanded. “ ‘Crackin’ my safe this mornin’— steady thar!’ “I can see dad lunging at him, gun in hand, eyes bleak with fury. ‘Take that lie back, Lundy?’ “I reckon not,’ Lundy grinned. ‘It ain't ne lie.’ “Lundy began. Fifty ounces of gold had been taken out of his office three months before. Two weeks later $300 had been lifted from his bar. Still a month later some one had shot up Lundy’s faro game and pulled in $500. About the time the faro game was shot up Lundy had brought a Flinker- ton detective to Torridity. “The previous Saturday being the Fourth of July and pay night, a good deal of dust and currency had come into Lundy's by Sunday night. Around $10,000, Lundy said—$3,000 in raw gold. Lundy's safe was an old-fash- joned contraption that could be cracked with a can-opener and the Flinkerton man thought the thief was likely to try his hand early Monday morning. The Flinkerton man said he'd hide near the safe, and if the thief showed up, step out on him. “At this point in his story Lundy broke into coldblooded laughter. Yes, gone up to his office at sunrise. And the Flinkerton man? Lying on his back with his hands lashed to his legs and a gag in his mouth! The window was broken in and so was Lundy’s tin-can safe and Lundy was out a matter of $10,000. “According to Lundy, the descrip- tion of the man who shot up the faro game resembled Uncle Jerry. “Well, before Lundy had locked up the receipts Sunday morning he. mixed a handful of salt with the gold dust. That afternoon he and a couple of prospectors had gone to Unele Jerry’s room and found a couple of salt in the bags of dust—and there was 7m. “That's the damnedest lie your tongue ever let loose, Lund: are more active in civic and community affairs.

He couldn't dispute the tes- timony of 300 witnesses—some of them his own men. What deviltry had got into the lad? “Where's that Flinkerton man?” dad demanded of Lundy. “But Lundy wasn’t telling. ‘Now looky here, Ten-to-One,’ he argued. ‘There's a wad uh money missin’ an’ we got an idee Jerry had a pardner. If he had, the sharp may be able to rope the pardner in, too. The boy's admitted he done it. Ain't that enough?’ “‘A pardner!’ Dad had jumped at ; that. It might account for Uncle | Jerry's fool play. “God help you if you are lying, Lundy!’ dad threatened. Then he addressed the mob. ‘Listen, men. I | am going into the mine to talk to my | brother. The door’ll be open—you | can rush us if you feel like it—but there'll be 12 of you shaking hands | with the devil.’ | “Dad unlocked the mine door and swung it open. Jerry was waiting for him on the other side of the door. Dac grabbed him by the shoulders. “You heard what Lundy said?’ “It’s true, ‘Alex,’ Uncle Jerry groaned. “Dad blew up, then. ‘You damned fool!’ he stormed. ‘If you wanted more "money why didn't you come to me?’ “Dad stood at the door of the tun- nel, staring off across the desert. Lundy and his gang quict and wait- ing. Dad was thinking; Jerry was his kid brother. He shouldn't have brought the boy to this sink hole. Yes, it was his fault. “ ‘Scared, son?’ he asked gently, facing Uncle Jerry again. ‘Let's hear about it.’ “It appeared that before the first robbery 10 weeks back Uncle Jerry had lost a couple of thousand dollars playing black jack at Lundy's. The game was crooked, he said. Uncle Jerry had lifted the gold in Lundy’s office and the money in Lundy's bar, and he'd held up the faro game. Those jobs gave him back the money he'd lost but he'd sat in at a poker game with two of the cleverest card sharps in the Skull. They took $6,000 from him. Two thousand was his— or Lundy's—the rest . . . was dad's. There had been a couple hundred ounces of gold in dad's safe. “You can imagine what dad felt. I think he'd sooner have had Uncle Jerry stick a knife in his back. “Uncle Jerry went on with his yarn. He'd been going with a man who had drifted into the camp recently. This man had suggested pulling off some- thing big—Lundy’s holiday receipts, ‘say. Uncle Jerry didn’t want to go in j that deep, but he had to put dad's gold back before Tuesday morning and, well, they'd done it. “‘For God's sake speak to me, Alex!’ Jerry begged, after finishing his story. “Dad softened—he couldn't help it. ‘It hit me pretty hard, son. Who was in with you?’ ‘I'm not telling,’ Uncle Jerry said stubbornly. “Dad nodded. ‘All right. I won't hold that against you. Here's one of my guns, Don't use it unless you have to. I'll do the best I can for you. I'll get you out somehow. I'm going to Jock you up now and talk to the boys. n.’ ‘ bped Uncle Jerry's hand and Peterson faces that snarling mob to save his brother!

Leaders of European nations are urging their farmers to grow wheat and be independent of the remainder of the world. Methods of farming and harvest, too, are improving, so that it is con- tinuously easier to raise and reap large crops. The solution of the problem, from the viewpoint of the average farmer, is to grow wheat more cheaply, oF to raise some other crop in its stead, Dairying Most Valuable Strange as it may seem, wheat is not the crop of greatest value in the United States. Dairying came first in 1926 with a value of $2,950,000,000; ' corn, which may be fed to hogs, $1,862,000,000; hogs, $1 ,000,000; ha: and forage, feedable to dairy $1,490,000,000. Poultry, vegetables and cattle, too, all lead wheat, which is far down the line, with a value of only $1,020,000,000. Of the 6,300,000 farms in the United States fewer than 2,000,000 grow wheat, and most of are not de+ Pendent on it. Even in Dakota, one of the great wheat producing areas in the world, the farmers raise other crops as well. The plan of the Hoover administra- tion is to limit the raising of any crop to those regions especially fave orable to its culture. If that is done, experts think, the nation will be as ‘well fed, and everybody, the producer, as well as the consumer, more pros+ lerly marketing, too, under the Proposed board, would probably aid in solving the problem, by releasing the crops at the time they are needed, not all at once, to glut the mark~ t.
