For that one instant (be could not move, the could not even think; then something snap ped inside her and she was claw ing at the door and somehow find ing herself in the street and run ning towards that darkened door way. How could she possibly have thought that Raeburn's presence here offered a solution? He was not the man who had first come to Delia demanding the envelope and threatening exposure.- Delia knew Raeburn. She had not known the man who had called! Joyce was on. the. sidewalk now and once through the doorway ehe saw the light at the back of the hall and found the interior less dark. She went up the stairs without pausing, the loud clatter of her steps re-echoing from the narrow walls. At the landing she saw the light from the door panel. She ran towards it, but even in her frenxied haste she could not discipline her thought' nor stay her mounting panic "Delia!" She was at the door now, tug ging at it and finding it locked before she saw the number on the Sanel and realized her mistake, he turned back to room twenty four and called again, feeling no sense of personal danger, but only of fear at what she might find. "Delia!" She opened the door and lis tened and there was no sound but her labored breathing. The impli cation of this silence was stark and terrible in her mind and ahe called again, finding her voice suddenly hushed and inadequate. She forced herself to close the door, to face the prospect of mov ing towards the rectangle of light that streamed from the adjoining room. .Vaguely aware that she was standing in some outer office, she started for the doorway, finding each step a tremendous muscular problem. . . . One, two. three she could see a good part of the room now, a leather chair, the corner of a desk four, five , . . The Closet THE room was empty, amazing ly and completely empty. There was the desk and an over turned chair and a desk lamp which made strange shadows in the corners; there was a leather chair, cracked and wom. A book case, well-filled and littered on top with papers and magazines extended along one wall: there were two doors, one leading to the hall, the other opening from a squarish projection in the cor ner. She took time to see all this before she tried to do anything else; then she took another step and incredulity began to fade as something icy slid along her spine. She looked back into the dark ened anteroom, not moving her feet She started to call out again and found ahe could not without clearing her throat. "Delial" she cried. "Delia!" There was no answer; It seem ed almost as though she had ex pected none, and in the end, she made herself inspect the room. She walked past the desk, noting as sho did so that a telephone book lay open, and a scratch pad, on which something had been written. She went to the window and looked out and found nothing but a shaftlike space from which a vacant window stared darkly. She turned slightly and found her yes focusing on the door which "formed one wall of the corner projection. Some frightful premonition eized her and she stood there tiff and breathless, her gaze SHIP LIME ROCK FROM KANES CREEK QUARRY Gold Hill. July 27 Spl.) Lime rock is again being ship ped from here to the paper mills. Several years ago this Industry was active here when Jamea Lively headed the com pany. The present quarry is situated near the old quarry, on Kanes Creek and is operated by T. E. McCroskey. Ed Shoemaker, One Reason Why Rosar Went AWOL Ws-ren (Buddy) Rosar, New York Yankee catcher. Is back with the team, telling the boys about his now son. while Mrs. Rosar and th baby, born last Monday, continue doing well at a Buffalo hospital. Budd went AWOL recently to take a Buffalo police civil service examination and waa lined $250. by Gorg Harmon Cox riveted on the knob. After a while she knew she would have to go over and turn it. Fear had eaten away all bodily warmth now, and yet as she started towards that door the room was suddenly close and her blood began to pound. It took an intense effort of will to make herself touch that white china knob, an even greater will to turn it But she did. quickly, determinedly, so that the light be hind her Spilled feebly over the floor of the closet and the ghastly picture struck her all at once the angle of the body, the tilted head, the pallid face, stained all along one side with blood. That much she saw in that first horrifying instant the body oh. thank God, not Delia's, but a man's and then the floor tilted under her, and her eyes closed, and she lean id against the wall, clinging to the door to keep the room from spinning. She stood there for a long mo ment fighting hard against her nausea. She dared not open her eyes until she had groped her way along the wall and then, grateful for its support she leaned back against it all faint and sick in side, and said, her voice a frozen whisper: "Delia! Delia, where are you?1" Behind The Door JOYCE Was never sure how long she stood there. To her it seemed forever before her strength came back and 'she got her nerves in hand. Then she pushed away from the wall. She straightened her shoulders. After that she tried to rationalize her fears. . Her first sane reaction after the shock of finding that thing of hor ror on the closet floor was one of overpowering relief. Then, on the heels of' that relief had come an other thought no less terrifying than the first. Just because a man had been murdered did not mean that Delia had not suffered the same fate. If she had actually seen the killer A sudden noise brought her mind back to the moment and she stiffened again, every sense alert It was a queer sound, muffled and Indistinct, coming from off to one side. From the hall, she thought, or the anteroom. "Delia," she said again and started towards the open door way. There was no answer, but she did not stop, and when she gained the adjoining room she paused, looking for a light or a switch. The sound came again, a low moaning, and with it the soft rasping of something across the floor. Over behind the door a shadow moved and stood out darker than its surroundings. Joyce trembled with quick new hope and started forward, seeing the shadow move again and knowing now that this was Delia, that she was alive. A light switch gleamed and caught her eye next to the door and she stopped to press it; then the room was bright and her heart was in her throat and she was- on her knees beside the girl. Apparently she had been lying on her back because when Joyce saw her she had pushed up on one arm and her eyes, dazed and enormous against the dead white background of her face, did not at once focus. "It's Joyce, darling. Joyce Is here. It's all right" Her resiliency was amazing. The color had come back into her face and she had stopped trem bling. She put her finger to the back of her head, explored it gently and said: "Umm." A twinge of pain slid across her eyes and she added: "Somebody bopped me." Suddenly her rueful smile gave way to a look of quick alarm and she thrust her hand in her pocket "He got the envelope." Te be continued foreman for many years of the old quarry is again In charge of the work.

Bailey, Gold Hill pio neer who came to the Rogue River valley at a miner in 1875 and remained to become a far mer, hunter and prospector, has drawn on his long experience in agriculture to write a pamphlet on "lunar farming." The moon, Bailey claims,' exerts a vast in fluence upon seed germs.' Carrying hia doctrine further, Bailey also claims there are cer tain stages of the moon which are best for cutting of timber. 'to prevent the worma from eating it." Best game animal hunting is during the last quar ter of the old moon, or the first quarter of the new moon," he declares. Best fishing is when the tide is going out. Molds Humans Too Human dispositions are gov erned to large extent by the Zodiacallign under which they were born, Bailey asserts in his pamphlet, also setting forth that there are certain times best for branding stock, breaking horses, weaning of babies, calves, colts and pigs. Poorest time to kill meat animals is under the sign of Aquarius, such meat nearly always being tough, he claims. Above the - ground crops should be planted under the sign of Cancer and eggs gath ered during this time will pro duce pullets In larger percent age; it is also a good time to make kraut, butcher meat ani mals, to harvest any crop and to gather seed. Potatoes, Bailey as serts, should be dug in the dark of the moon as they are less liable to rot. Root crops should be harvested "at the wane of the full moon." Aware of Skepticism The pioneer asserts that he is well aware of the skepticism of scientific agriculturists as to the moon a influence on growing things, but declares long observ ance has proved to his satisfac tion that the satellite definitely exerts a strange power upon the earth, as many have believed throughout the ages. In addition to his lunar farm ing treatise, Mr. Bailey has evolved a poison oak remedy which he says has proved a boon to prospectors and other outdoor men for many years. OPENS FOR LAST IF Last week of the Boy Scout summer training camp opened Saturday at Lake O woods, the camp again operating at capa city with ninety campers and leaders. According to Kenneth Wells HAP HOPPER, Washington Correspondent Boin Is Right THE NEBBS Not So Easy By Hlt local Boy Scout executive, the camp has operated with an aver age of one hundred and one campers and leaders since the opening, July 12.
