"and what the blazes d'you want here?" I looked him up and down with intentional deliberation. "I wanted some milk," I Bald, "a pint, to be strictly accurate." "Well, you've got it, haven't you?" He pointed toward the gate. "Now clear off, blast you!" I could feel my temper beginning to rise. "Look here," I said, "you keep a civil tongue lb your head when you're speaking to me." "Tom, Tom." broko In his wife tlteously, "what's the good . . ." He turned on her with a scowl of fury. "Shut your niuth," he roared. "I heard what he Said to you. A friend of Osborne's, Is he?

He spun rouDd unsteadily, and lurching across the yard, hegnn to fumblo at the dpor of one of the sheds. Mrs. Gowlland made an imploring gesture. "Go go at once," she gasped. "He's letting out the dog, and It will kill you If It finds you here." Whether I should have followed her advice or not I can't say; In any case it was too late. There was the rattle of a chain from Inside the shed, and with a menacing growl the huge rough-coated brute that I had seen crouching on the bank that morning bounded out Into the open. , "At 'Ira, boy! Get your teeth Into jthe . . Swift as light a bristling mass of black fury launched Itself townrds me. I sprang back, and as I did so, something silent and yellow flashed past me from behind. It cannoned ;full Into my assailant in mid air, and the next moment, amidst an ear splitting clamor, two frantic wrlth-1 ing bodies were locked In a life and Ideath battle. A foul oath burst from Gowlland's ! lips, and stooping down he snatched iup the broken handle of a pitchfork, liefore he could properly straighten himself, howover, 1 had leaped for ward and gripped him by the wrist. "So, you don't, ducky," I nald. IT'E swayed to and fro, straining and struggling, till with a sav. age wrench I tore the weapon from his hands. At the same instant his foot slipped and losing his balance he sal down heavily in the mud. A little breathlessly I turned to see how matters were progressing elsewhere. I had Just time to observe that George was on top, his teeth burled in his enemy's shoulder, when with another and equally un printable observation, my own ad versary stniRBled to his feet. "Better leave "em alone." I raid pleasantly, "You may get hurt If you try to interfere."

"He'a gone to get his gun. For God's sake , . ." Mrs. Gowlland's frantic appeal was cut short by a shout from behind us. "What the dickens here, come off. It!" Racing Into the yard. Jerry seized George by the collar, and releasing his hold the latter allowed himself to be pulled backwards. With blood streaming from his shoulder, the other dog retreated snarlingly against the wall. "You got here Just In time," I said, "at least George did. If he hadn't that brut would have chewed me to pulp." Still keeping his grip on the col lar, Jerry glanced inquiringly from one to the other of us. "What's It all about?" he demand ed. "Mr. Gowlland doesn't like my ap pearance," I eiplained. "He set Fido on me. and now's be cone off to fetcb a gun." "Oh, don't stop here don't waste time talking. Go quick, all you, before he comes back." I looked down at the half dla traught woman, who had osain clutched me by the sleeve. "We can't leave you alone with a homicidal lunatic," I objected. "He won't hurt mo. Go go, I Im plore you. It's the only thing that will atop murder." From aomewhere close At hand came the bang of ft door. "Sounds sensible to me." observed Jerry. "He'd probably shoot George and then there'd certainly be a mas sacre. Any objection to beating It?" "None," I said. And without further ado we bolted lnglorlously through the gate. I LAY on my back, gazlug up at the glass skylight, against which the rain was atlll fitfully driving. "There's one thing dead certain," I repeated; "the man's as mad as a hatter. What's more, If I'm any Judge, he's on the verge of D.T." Jerry picked up his pot of beer from the cabin floor, and took a long gulp. "Plrnsant for hla wife! Good looking, too. In her way; bit of the gipsy about her, I should think." "I wonder what made her marry him," I said. "He's old enough to be her father." "Perhaps he didn't drink so much then. It's only quite lately that the place has gone to pieces Hke that. Last time I was here everything was as smart as paint." "Well, there must be some reason for It," broke In Molly. "I believe Nick was right in what he suggested yesterday.' "You mean about Osborne?" She nodded. "I've been thinking It over the whole morning.

From their choice seats behind the world's largest telescope they expect to see the curtain r.se some time in the next two years, saya Dr. Fritz ZwicKV, astrophysicist of California Institute of Technology. The stage, he thinks, will be In the direction of Virgo star cluster, some 42,000,000,000.000.000,000 miles away. From nmong Virgo's fioo galaxies. Dr. Zwicky said today, one of the stars will probably step forth In the stellar role of a. super-Nova and en act "the end of the world" quite harmlessly for the astronomers who watch. The play will be fatal to the star for It wll explode with a brilliance perhaps equal to that of a hundred million suns. There have been such collossal scenes before, but modern asronomy haa yet to study one. These super novae have bpen recorded by the ancient Chines, and even found on astronomical photographic plates 4is recent as 1885. but never have they been studied through modern Instru ments. Dr. Zwicky believes any star may become a super-nova.

PURCHASE STARTS SOOM IN OREGON PORTLAND, Jan. 10. APj With in the next six montha the federal government will spend more than $1,250,000 in Oregon buying tip about 250 000 arrea of sub-mareinal land and relocating families which are to be removed from land of poor productivity. The announcement was made by tx E. Wtllard, agricultural adjust ment administration representative. About 150.000 acres of land will j be purchased by the government In ; Central Oregon, and 100,000 acres will be taken up in western Oregon. The central Oregon land bought ' by the government will be turned , over largely to grazing. That In west- i ern Oregon will go Into national and . state forests. Fearful of price boosts, ! the federal agents made no mention , whatever of particular districts in which the work will be carried out. Wlllard said a staff of 15 persons will start work next week on ap- pralsals. Purchases must be made before next June 30. All options must be approved by the AAA. The purchase of the unproductive , land will fit in closely with the work of the Oregon rehabilitation com- ' mittee In placing on good lands those families removed from sub-marginal land. George 8- Shelley of Eugene will direct the land purchases in west ern Oregon and E. M. Peck of Red mond will have chare of this work In the central part of the state.
