Only the Brave

She straightened with somethln:

- luck!"
The search was resumed and went
doggedly on. The Crown crew Join
ed them and together with Jeb
and Jeff and Glenn and the guards
and deputies movea merany 1001
by foot toward Cougar until fully
half the distance had been covered
without a sign of the missing box
or its thief. And to Jeff came the
growing conviction that they were
on the wrong trail entirely. No
man could have transported that
box this distance in broad daylight
without being seen by somebody.
He rode swiftly toward Briscoe,
then cut away to the west until
he found himself on the edge of
the steep bank by the creek where
the thief had turned the wagon
in search of a crossing. It was
ouite dark by this time, so he goi
off his horse, dropped the rein
and souatted on his heels to roll
and light a cigarette. Where, he
asked himself for the thousandth
time could the thief have hidden
that box if he hadn't transported
It to the Cougar road?
Suddenly he heard the slow
thump of hoofs. He put tobacco
and papers back into his pocket
and sat there listening. The sounds
came closer and he finally decided
that the horseman was riding di
rectly toward the ford. Presently
he saw him a vague figure a
hundred yards off ihen lost him
as he descended the slope to the
.stream.
Curious. Jeff not im and started
l along the bank, following Its slam
toward tne lord, jrmy yards lar
n ther on he caught sight of the
fcman. The horse stood on the shore
'and the man was wading out into
;tne water. He waacd to tne mid
dle of the stream, the water com
ing up to ins armpiis; men ne
turned at a right angle and fol
lowed the creek in Jell's direction.
The man stopped, seemed to be
feeling about with his foet, then
deliberately sumberged himself,
remaining below the surface so
long that Jetf wondered what had
become of him. The water rippled
and his head oame Into sight. He
erected himself slowly and Jeff
law that he had some very heavy
object in his arms.
This man was the gold thief.
and the heavy object In his arms
was the specie Doxl
It was clever, devilishly clever
and yet very simple. The wagon
had been halted in the middle of
the stream where there would be
no betraying marks, and the man
had taken tne box and let it sink
some yards away from the cross
ing. Its weight would hold It there
and the grit filled stream would
hide it from view. And now he
had come for the treasure
Jeff put on his hat, drew his
gun and began inching toward
the lord on Ills stomach.
Jeff heard the harsh rasp of a
naoksaw made, He crept sun closer
trusting to the fellow's concentra
tion on his task and the scrapping
aound of the blade to cover his
movements. He leaped forward, his
gun coming up 10 a level,
"Hold it, Biugi" ne said sharply
"Don't move or I'll drop voul
With a startled gasp the other
nun around.
"Get your hands up where I can
aee tnem. '
Slowly the hands of the other
rept up and Jast as slowlv he
rose to his feet. In the moonlight
ne loomed tan ana bulky. He was
standing with the moon behind lilm
and Jeff could not distinguish his
features. A sudden doubt seized
Jeff. Something about the figure
was wrong; the size, or the shape
"Step away from the box
down to the edge of the oreek so
I can see you."
The man obeyed slowly, Jeff
followed him step by step. The
other took one final step sideways
and the moonlight fell full on his
Jace.
"Glenn I"
pen. The gun dropped slowly
ntii its muzzle was pointed at tne
round.
"Glenn! What in the world I"
He stepped forward, overcome
ith shock and bewilderment and
ilsbelief. And quite suddenly
iienn uieason leaped to meet mm
nd the right hand which he had
owered came up again in a sav-
ige arc. The rock-hard fist caught
jell sauarely on tne point oi the
:hin and he went over backwards
is though driven by a battering
ram. His head struck a corner of
the iron bound box and the moon
light abruptly vanished in a pall
of darkness.

Rodent Control Plan
Covers Many Acres
Aurora A total of 7,681.75
acres of farmland in southwest
Clackamas county were treated
for moles and pocket gophers
up to May 31 In the program
organized by the Clackamas
county farm bureau, with the
cooperation of the county exten
sion service, according to a re
port made public by Howard
Smith and Don Gardner of the
farm bureau committee.
The cost varied widely, from
10 cents to $2.04 per acre, with
an average of 54 V4 cents per
acre. Tests showed that using
poisoned earthworms for moles
and poisoned alfalfa or clover
tips for gophers, planting the
bait directly in their runways,
resulted in a kill of 77 per cent
of the moles and 00 per cent of
the gophers.
The farm bureau and its co
operators are making their pest
control service available to farm
ers in the county at actual cost
and invite Inquiries either to
Howard Smith or Donald Gard
ner of Canby, or through Don
Walrod of the county extension
office.
