Snow Leopard by CHRIS HAWTHORNE CHAI'TKIl XXXII Tho patter auxiped abruptly, Tools bud never learned tbe strate gy of retreat a ftmltive always Invltea a chase. He walked for ward. Far bank In that black sink ho a.w a pair of Imli'ful green eye glaring at lilin. "Come out In the open, come out!" he bellowed. A anarl amwered him; not the timorous bluff of a scared beast but the MavaKe defiance of an an! Dial unaccustomed to refusing cballenKO. In a moment the crea ture emerged into llio pule light; It was a fearsome, gory, full grown wounded snow leopard. . "Won't shoot, 'J'oole! He's my came!" Strange and hollow as the voloe came from the black depths, the detective recognized It tus llun- ulster's! A moment lntcn Mully burst through the darkness and began to harry the wounded brute. In un eventful lifetime of forty six yearn, "One-Armed" Toulo had heard many sounds that fell musi cally uK)n his ears. As a detective on the lookout for "dips" he had mixed with the crowds in front of old Trinity, listening to the Christ mas ohlmes at midnight; he had heard words of commendation front' police commissioners for signal aots of bravery; once a supreme court justice hud Bpokcn of him as a "brilliant and courageous member of the headquarters staff." But none of those pleasurable mo ments equalled In sheer Joy the sensation he felt when he heard Bannister's voice coming out from that black pit over tho hunch ing buck of a wounded snow leo pard. Dangling an automatic In each hand, Toole waited. The harried beast, trapped between two men who held death in their fingers, wavered, finally choosing as his antagonist the enemy .of whom, as yot, he knew nothing. In a des perate crouch, ho slithered toward Toole, his mouth open, his eyes abla.o with fury. 'J'oole had raised his right arm again when Bannister staggered Into the dim light. The detective saw his friend lean weakly agsinst the side of the gorge, saw him bring a gun slowly to his shoulder and then a fusllade! It wits only one shot hut It seemed to linger on la a hundred echoos. Tho leopard stiffened on ull fours, humped up -llko a huge cat, sprang' Into thu air and fell Inertly acroas the thliij stream that Issued from tho cav t cnl- . "Keep away from him, Toole!" Warned Bannister. "Back Bully!" ' Hut tho leopard was dead. The brute that had deserted his matu and, his cub hud been shot through tho heart. , Bannister seemed to hiivo.put Ills laHt ounce of strength Into that effort- Dropping tho gun, ho tot torod toward his friend on loosely louptou legs. The detectlvo put a flask of the llwarrs liquor mlraouioiisly touched1 till now in the excitement to the spent man's lips. lliumin- ter sank to a nick and drank deeply. Toole took a convincing ewlg himself und wulted. After u while he Bald : "The- air In better further down the gorge. We can sou the sun, uuywuy, before' "Oh, we'll get out of this hole, , ul liight," Hick sulil weakly. ".I've been hi It lout mioiiKii to know something about l lie In renin I place.

Toole glanced at the ghostly car cass or the snow leopard, grim .unit terrible even In death. "I , ilfitnt think yon weru such a nut as to follow that critter under ground,'' lie said disgustedly. "Ain't you got any common sense lint inn or caution at ull,' Hers I am and Inure he ts," Bannister responded. "And, by the wuy, how did you huppen lo drop jn on us? "Drop In? You said It. I went after Jeff Whipple In Karon Hiio's inane and the thing blew up under Jim. Must have lieeu that orchid paint. I came down here under a white umbrella." "I didn't think," Bannister re marked, "thut you were such a muiloiiliuad us lo attempt miy- inmg iiae mat. Toole grinned. "Well, here I nm," ho said, with n ftuu Imitation of his friend's olie. "But Where's Jeff Whipple?" llaiiuistei- asked.

Occasionally he slopped, tossed Hie leopurd pelt over a Jutting rock and stood off, inviting Toole's attention to its great size, the ichness of the fur and Its beauti ful markings. Fiis friend under. stood all this enthusiasm. He hud heard It said that It was a man's work to win prizes and a woman's right to wear them. Alter one of Buiinlster'H long apostrophes to the robe Toole re marked: "I'm beginning to think. sun, that there's something in this business they call Fate. Up to this time I'd thought or It only as a word out of a book that was put in for actors so they could explain the fool things that happen on the stage. On the level, when . we started out on this trip I didn't care whether you shot a leopard or not and I didn't think Karen Hlro.bothered her head much about It. It was. Just a romuutie notion ke all youngsters get when they're in love. Hut nailing Jeff Whipple was something real It is yot " Bannister gave him a comfort- lug pat on the buck. "What makes you think that Fate works for lov er alone?" he asked lightly. "Don't you realize that you're near er to Jeff Whipple now than you over wero before?" Toole, once having found tho real meaning to the word "fate." began to fit It in with bis own hopeful calculations. He didn't like tne idea of s bar in the fmltt of his triumph Willi anv mvster.

"Thank yem Karen," lannlsier said tnlntly. Then lie' was off to sleep again. Toole glured at his own large, rough hand, still wet from his mlie istrullnn. "The kld' got Imagina tion!" he chuckled. After all hour Toole begun to Ileal' a slight rumble In Hie cunyon. He placed his huud on a rock lo catch a vibration hut rait none. It wus not un earth tremor. The rumbling grew inure distinct, like I he lumilisr roar of an elevated train iu the flowery. He si Ii Bannister's shoulder iuuI the hunt er leaped to Ills feet, clutching ut his holster.

By PAUI, MICKELSON' (AnBoiiutud Press Spoils Writer) Should the haHehall fates give the St. Louis Cardinals the 111.16 National, leaffuo pennant by one Kiime or less over Chicago Cubs, Charles Gtlnini probably wuuld go down in the frayed record books as the "good time Churlle" who gave away the flag. The Cub pilot made the sports manlike gesture yesterday or al lowing Dizzy Roan to remain in the lirst game of the important Cub-Cardinal series alter the pitch er wan about to be chased out by umpires ior fighting Tex Carl ton. (Irlmni talked the umps Into let ting Ulzzy stay, and the Red Bird star proved his gratitude by hand cuffing the Cubs, 7 to 3, dropping them to second place. The chances are that the Cards, who drove Wurnehe to cover with a four-run barrage In tho fourth inning to- break up a eloso game, wuuld have won without the great Dizzy. If that game alone sep arates the two teams at the finish. however, (iriliim undoubtedly will be accused of being too tender ncarted. Stung by the quips flung nt him by Carleton, who celebrated an off day by doing a lot of shouting, Dizzy suddenly left the piicning mound In tbe first Inning and raced toward the Cub dug out. The fiery Carleton leaned out. and they clinched and scuffled un til piayora separated them, To the amuzoment of 30,001) rans, Dean resumed tho mound, and It was explained that Grimm had plead ed successfully against his expul sion. Brooklyn snapped the Giants' seven-game winning streak, 6 to 5. Now York's Yankees, rldimr along wilh a seemingly Invincible margin In the American league race, absorbed one of their neatest lickings of the year yesterday as Washington pounded three pitch ers for 18 hits and a 13 to 4 vic tory. It wus the first Senator triumph of the season at Yankee stadium, and Jimmy Deshong. ex-Yankee liuiler, led tho procession by hold ing the Now Yorkers to eight hiLS. The defeat trimmed the Yankee load over Cleveland's idle Indians lo 11 games, with. 48 to pla-y. The Boston Bees rallied sharply in the closing innings to hand tho luckless, skidding Philadelphia Phillies their eighth straight set back, 0 to 7, Other teams were Idle. ' .1 .
