NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, GOLD BULLETS Synopsis: Lucy bravely married to Jerry with a murder accusation Danging over him! the charge, convinced that Dillon is the murderer, A mysterious tele. phone call—Dillon—who is he? — flashes a challenge to Peebles over the wire. Peedles speeds back to ‘Torridity to meet Ogden's slayer. As he steps from his car, a bullet | whistles over his head. He goes to the deserted Lundy saloon, finds a “No, no! For God’s sake, no!" I cried in an agonized voice. “Don't Deacon drops | shoot! Don't!" The shirt was off. I was slipping it ovet Napoleon's head. “Furie!” I pleaded. *They'l vyou. They'll crack your neck!™ The shirt was on. So was the as- tonishing hat. 1 toppled Sitting Bull into the shadows against the north wall, lowered the light. scooped the pistol. Peeble’s pistol roared first—Dillon fell—it was Luther MacNair light in the “secret room second floor. Entering the room, he starts to inspect its contents when a terrifying command booms out: “Drop your gun and reach:” CHAPTER 46 THE LAST ILLUSION The shrill command smote like the blow of a fist. 1 did move. The antomatic hung slackly | from my hand and I knew better| than to raise it. | “Drop it, ye two-legged varmint!™ | the voice scrcamed passionately. T | dropped the pistol. “Face me } not round | whur T kin see ye!™ | I swung slowly on my heel. Be- | fore me was the storcroom, which I, like a fool, had forgotten. At first, I did not see Furie, for he stood within the shadows of the room, but the barrel of a Colt, then the an- clent hand that held it, and finally, us he emerged, the old desert-rat himself. His appearance at that moment wag the picture I was to retain of him until the end of my days. The wild rage of his face transfixed me. His lips were froth-flecked and it came upon me overwhelmingly that | the man was murderously insane | and that 1 was nearer death than I had ever been. “Well, I cotched ve!” he shrilled. “Was it you who fired on me?” T inquired. He scemed to have ac. customed himself to the loss of his near-sighted lens. “*Twar!” he shouted. “Pi 1 didn't plug ye! T'd of been saved the trouble o' doin’ it now. Whur'!l ye have it — in the belly or the head?” “But what have 1 done to you?” T demanded casually. “Whut have ye done?” he screcam- ed. “Whut—whut—whut—" Bpeech left him. He shook his fis at me, waved his pistol in my face. Hiw rage, indeed, finally pitched him | over the summit of his emotions and for perhaps three seconds, his| strength spent, he stood and simply quivered and glared at me. In that moment of silence T heard the creak of a board. Some ono was coming up the stair. T had| heen groping about in my mind for | the explanation of I'urie's insane | rage and suddenly T found it; and | 1 also saw as clearly as if a ray of light had pierced my brain what had becn prepared for me. Tt was digholically clev as any scheme of Dillon’s would he—and the erealk of-a board had betrayed it to me. Iurie got his wind again. “Yer one o' them p'lice cops! I knowed it yesterday mornin’.

A glance at my limp and he fired, once, twlee, thrice, at the wax figure in the ab- surd straw hat. Then a long, throaty cry of rage broke from his lips and he lunged toward the straw-hatted figure. I had risen silently. “Hands up, Dillon.” He was whirling on his heel, his still _smoking pistol leaping up at me.

Aiming toward this goal a ways and means committee was named by the post to raise the necessary funds. The committee consists of F. 8. Mer- rill, H. A. Hayden, Irving Wasley, {end Roy Barton. The post started this fund with a substantial subscrip- tion and the auxiliary boosted it by another generous and substantial subscription.
