Hog houses should have tight wall, roofs, doors nad windows, abundant sunlight, well drained floors and plenty of fresh air without drafts. They should be strongly built of good materials. Frame constuction meets all these requirements and Tum-A-Lumber is recommended because it is carefully and accurately made, is strong, durable, depend able and will give life-long hon est service.

"Haunted Valley" By Herbert Robinson Adapted from the Patheserial by Frank Leon Smith Copyright by Pathe Exchange, Inc. CHAPTER VI The Brink of Eternity Malllnson was in a race. Sharkey had rusned breathlessly intu his home and informed him of the near tmnedy of Ku;h Hanger and Eugene Craig in the demolished shack. In fact, so angry was Henry Mallinson that Sharkey couldn't figure out whelher he was raging because the two young people had not been kill ed, or because of the rashness of the act itself. "My whole scheme for ecttine control of Haunted Valley has been endangered by your stupidity," Mal linson roared. "1 hired you so that I could work under cover. Yet you were at the dam with the two fore men who were arrested, and tonight you nave come here. If you were followed, the trail would lead di rectly to my door." Mallinson immediately called Ruth on the phone and learned that there were no serious injuries. In fact, boih Ruth and Craig had escaped unscratched. As Vivian Delamar was at Ruth's, Mallinson requested that she come Immediately to his home. ''Mr. Mallinson reauests that I stop in on my way home," Vivian said, turning to Ruth. "Then let Mr. Craie dron vou there," Ruth answered. "Wait a moment while I get my wraps and I'll go along." As Ruth ran upstairs, Vivian saw tier opportunity. "It would be so romantic if Ruth would fail to repay the million," she said to Craig. Yvny, whft do you mean:" the young man answered. If she fails, she not only for feits Haunted Valley, but she mar ries A"r. Mallinson," Vivian smiled. jlic was extremely pleased to see the e licet on Craig, and added, "Oh, Inrgive me, I thought you knew. Please don't let anyone know 1 told v'sj. Vivian was not going tcr let Mallinson .slip through her fingers if she could help it. As Craig was still pondering over ihe news and all It meant to him, Until tripped daintily down the stairs Jrcsscd for the ride, and all three eft the house together. Meanwhile, the dispute between Henry Mallinson and Sharkey was becoming extremely heated. Look Here," Sharkey exclaimed. "Thus rar I have been loyal to you and I've worked hard to help you achieve your ambition to control Haunted Valley. But what would the world ay if it were known that the re spectable millionaire, Mallinson, had resorted to desperate and murderous methods to gain his ends?" Mallinson became livid. Dirks tried to ti.reaten me," he said, "and Dirks is dead. Ucnslow used the same tactics, and for your informa tion I'll tell you that Dcnslow will never be seen again. Just look out!" bharkcy saw that it was best to keep his temper. He picked his cap off of Mallinson's desk and walked sullenly from the room. A moment Inter, Craig with Ruth Hanger and Vivian Delamar drove up to Mallinson's house. As Craig stopped the car, and Vivian depart ;d, he noticed a man walking down Ihe sidewalk that led from the house. Then, as the man stepped into a roadster, an ej netilmicin of surprise passed Craig's lips. "Great Scott, Ruth I" Craig ex claimed. "That's him that's the fellow behind that plot with the freight car." And as Sharkey has lily drove from the curb, CraiR tartcd his own machine In swift aurstiit. Craig and Ruth had an exciting chase on their hands trying to catch the fleeing Shiukcy. Around corn ers they went, up side streets, and llnallv Into an alleyway. Sharkey eaped from his car and rushed for ,t stone wall directly in front of him. 3ut Craig darted after him, seized him and dragged him to the ground before he could got over. "You were responsible for the no cldcnt at the dam, and you are In touch with Mallinson," Lraig ac cuscd. "Now if you've got any- thine to sav. sneak up! Shurkcy suddenly realized that only the truth could save him. "Mitlllnson Is determined to have Haunted Valley at any cost," he un jwered. "But what has Mallinson to gain?' asked Ruth, amazed. "It is true Ihnt I have discovered water In the valley, but to Irrigate the land would Mr. and lira. J. F.

Ore. ley would not be fabulously weal thy." "The valley is worth millions," Sharkey replied, "but not because of water. I know the secret and I can prove it to you tonight." "Then I will go with you to Haun ted Valley tonight and give you a chance to redeem yourself," the girl declared. In his library, Henry Mallinson was exceedingly upset, but perhaps not as much as he might of been, had he known of the recent devel opments. Vivian watched him anx iously as he paced back and forth. "I am beginning to feel that I can no longer trust Sharkey," Mallinson was saying. "If he confesses every thing, I am ruined." "Don't worry until you have to," Vivian comforted. "Why don't you go away for a few days until this blows over? Sharkey may not say a word." This seemed to appeal to Mallin son. "Thai's a good idea," he an swered. "I'll be safe in Haunted Valley, and for a few days you can handle everything for me at the of fice." The girl agreed, and Mallin son immediately began to make pre parations to leave. Two hours later, as Haunted Valley shimmered in the light of the full moon, Ruth, Eugene Craig and Sharkey arrived at the boundary line. "I am known and trusted by the forces guarding the valley," Sharkey explained. "It will not be safe for either of you to accompany me. I must go alone, but I shall return shortly with a proof of the valley's wealth." Ruth and Craig agreed to wait outside the boundary fence until Sharkey's return. Sharkey immediately headed for the control chamber. Once inside, he informed the man on duty that he would be in the valley for some time and not to interfere with any thing he might do. But hardly had he departed when Mallinson put in his appearance. "Ah, Mr. Mallinson!" exclaimed the control man. "I was just going to send for you to show you an in vention started by Dirks that I have just perfected. It s sure a marvel. And then the young man gave a demonstration of the wierdest phe nomenon imaginable. With a bit of mechanism simitar to a motion pic ture camera, he first took pictures of Mallinson. Then, after a moment of tinkering with another apparatus, nc called mallinson s attention to the result. Much to the latter's as tonishment, he saw a spectre-like form of himself projected in the air. "The remarkable thing about all this," explained the man, "is the fact that I can throw the form of anyone, any part of the valley. I tried this experiment first with Dcnslow, and I have perfected it by throwing his form through space." Mallinson was fascinated by the machine. He stopped for a moment, however, and glanced into tne periscope-like affair in the control room and saw the image of Sharkey, furtively carrying a small, metal, antique box. Arallinson turned to the control man and said: I no longer trust Sharkey. He must not leave the valley with that box. I've cot it! Get your new in vention working and we'll see what effect it will have on Sharkey If he is confronted with the image or Dcnslow." And then, suddenly in the air just ahead of Sharkey, there appeared the sinister, horrifying phantom of Dcnslow. Sharkey stood transfigur ed, his eyes bulging. As the spectre Irke image came toward him with arms upraised, Sharkey backed away in utmost horror. He came to the edge of a chasm, staggered, at tempted to get his balance, and then suddenly fell back and downward with a terrifying yell. Ruth and Craig hurried to the spot where the sound came front. All this was observed by Mallinson in the control room. When he saw Craig, his rnge Increased. He de termined to rid himself of the trmihlesome voung man then and there. Mallinson rushed to a lever, pulled It and watched. He saw Craig on the cliff, with the ground under him startine to crumble away. Craig started to full headlong, when Ruth seized him, and both were plunged downward.
