huw exactly where reality ended
and ill union began.
I was lying on the floor In one
of the room off the balcony, a
pillow under my head. - A bed, a
bureau, and a chair were In the
room. The door had been umauhed
in. Hitting on an empty cane.

oddest-looking, creature I had ever
seen. ,l
lie was a little wlzencd-up crab
apple of a man. 8110 w-white hair
thatched his skull and ears and
neck, and his face wiu furrowed
like a freBh-plowed field. - His arms
were long like nn ape's and enor
mously strong, J thought, and they
terminated in a pair of sinewy
hands. He was fingering a lump
The gold-iimd rieticrt rat shrilled, flcrenmcl mid cackled.
A finger of sunlight slanted across

a dazed condition. I lay quiet and
waited for memory to refresh it
self on the events of the night.
First, there had been the wind
storm, turning calm duy into furi
ous night and spinning me Into
the resort; discovery of Dillon in
the hall, my ascent of the stair
case, and Pillon stulking me In the
gallery. The. crack of his pistol,
the bite or bullet on woodwork.
They were as vidid to me as fire.
A door hnd opened, then
Here I pau&ad, The sandstorm,

of quartz, at which ho, peered
J through a lens stuck In his eye.
j "Good morning, Furl I said,
: at length,
I His ancient head flashed up and
j I put his age at eighty. The small,
I fed rimmed eyes, China - blue in
color, wore set in a dirty wedge of
a face. The glasB In his eye, held
monocle fashion, was eight-sided.
"He he no!" the old man
cackled. "So ye aint cold hawg
yet huh ?" , . , , . ,
'I don't know that It Isn't your
fault I'm not," I observed.
"Huh!" ho shrilled, shaking his
shaggy head ot me.' "Hain't I bun

"Very kind of you': I admitted.
but I was thinking you tried your
hardest to put u bullet an 'inch
from my head up ut the Two
Brothers." '
- "There's too many c 0 m e a a
nosin round these parts now'
days!" he screamed. . "That thar
mine ain't none o' yer business,
nor nob'dy else's!"
I managed to get to my knees
and, by degrees, to my feet. Drop
ping onto the bed, I fixed a stern
eye on the crafty face in front of
me, "
"See here, Furle, you called on
Nathan Hyde Friday morning.
Where did you find that pistol you
sold him?"
He began to Interlace his bony
fingers. "Hain't 1 said J ain't tell
in' nothln'?" '
I leaned nearer, pointing my fin
ger at him. "You also called on
Andrew Ogden. You took him a
specimen of gold quartz. Where
did you get H?" .
"i ain't tellln'!" he yelped. ' T-
"Well, It doesn't matter," I said
softly. "You got It from a new
vein in the Two Brothers.".
He leaped to his feet, speechless
and foaming, his walnut shell of a
fane as yellow An saffron. Quiver
ing, he shook his bony fists In my;
face, his eyes 'bloodshot.
" 'TIs my gold, this!" he scream-I
ed, prancing up nnd down, eye-j
piece rattling on its wire. "Hain't
I tramped tikull and Hkelnton.GO
year a-Iookin' fer it? Hain't I
thirsted an starved? Hain't
burned nnd sweated and freezed?
Hut I found It! An' nobody's ago-.
In' to take It away from me!" . ,
: Quite mad on the subject of gold,
he raved' on In this vein.
. "Would . A n d r y Ogden have
knowed It war thar If I hadn't tor
him, I ask yo? Hut I'm squar
shootin', I Js. 'Andry hmi I, 'the
claim Is yourn hut the f I rutin 'm
mine, so I'll split ye fifty-fifty.
Y will not.'' he yells at me. ' 'How
dare you trespass on my property?
I'll have the roof o' the jail over
yer crack-brained head!' "
I thought It time tn stop him.
"Furle! What else did you say to
Andrew Ogden?" 1
"I ain't tellln'l"
Leaning nearer, I paid gravely,
"Andrew Ogden Is dead."
"Huh! what? Dead?!" he shrill
ed. "Dead!"
"Ho was stabbed to death In his
library fter you left him Friday
night."
"Stabbed! Whut! "Whut! An
dry Ogden! Who did It?"
I looked at him accusingly.
"The police will be asking you that
question before long."
' 'TIs a lie" he screamed. "I
left him alive!"
I'Hmn! Well, maybe It is. You
can prove It ?" .
'Prove It!" he mumbled. "Prove
U! How's nn old geezer like mo
to prove anythln?" Then shrewd
ly, "How'll they prove It agin me
when 1 didn't do It?" v
"Maybe they won't If Vou toll
everything you know."
He opened his mauth, then shut
It stubbornly. iy .- , ,
let the point rest. "Ogflen'fl
moii .! Try was here. Did you see
him?"
"Uh-huh, The girl, too." .,
"Do you know why Andrew Og
den didn't want the Two Brothers
opened?" - '
'He-he-hp!' he cackled, . "Ye
ain't been In; the mine, eh?" ' j
"No. Why?"
"Nothln. He-he-he! Jes noth
ln'!" "You said you were guarding the
mine because people were hanging
around it," I went on. ''What did
those people look like?"
"Dunno. .Both w,as tall. One oft
'em ran to meat."
"How long have you been In
Skull Valley, Furle?"
"Cod knows. Forty, fifty, sixty
year." '
. "Ever hear of Alex Peterson in
tho old days?." .
"Ton-to-One Peterson!" he shrill
ed. "Ev'rybody -knowed Ten-to-One
thirty year ago." -,
"You've lived here all alone
all this time?" I inquired.
He nodded. mournfully. "Uh-huh.
Who'd live in this devil's skillet
but a old fool of a desert rat like
me? When I gets crazy lonely I
talks to Bull and Nap."
"Hull nnd Nup! I exclaimed.
"Who are they?"
, Can Furle solve the. mystery of
Andrew Ogden's murder? Peebles

A thoroughly tested
Summer Oil Spray
vor Codling Moth
Control
earth
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS Summer-Mulsion is a specially adapted
oil for Codling Moth control. It was developed and
perfected by years of intensive research work. Last year
alone, this company applied 30,000 gallons of experi
mental summer oil sprays in the Northwest.
It has a high degree of refinement and functions without
injury to fruit or foliage. It leaves no greasy residue. .
S-W Summer-Mulsion greatly reduces the percentage of
"stings" and "worms" and increases the percentage of
fancies and extras.
The cost is extremely low, about one cent per box. A
mighty good investment, for the extra "two bits" gained
in the grades represents a nice profit.

S-W Summer-Mulsion is also a sure control for San Jose Scale.
Use it in combination with your Arsenate sprays. Even though
the fruit shows scale marks it may yet be cleared up if Sunv
mer-Mulsion is applied several weeks before picking time.
Ask your dealer for Summer-Mulsion. "It pays to spray
with Sherwin-Williams insecticides."
