Chapter 30 . I
To The Rescue
THE question died before the
Impact of a new and terrifying
thought. 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

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."

VALLEY PIONEER
Gold Hill Man Sees Lunar
Influence In Many Things
Proved By Observance.
W. P. 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.
