It was a friendly town and. although it would never develop into a large town, it was the center of a county of untold wealth. In its fertile valleys agriculture was rapidly developing; cattle-raising, dormant since the post-war financial debacle which had struck the cattlemen hardest of all, was coming back; in the hills the lumberman’s ax would ring for half a century; along Siskiyou s lonely streams the miner’s pick and shovel would he uncovering fortunes overlooked in the Fifties. No, Siskiyou was no longer a backwoods county. His glance traveled over the low roofs of the houses, across Shasta 'alley, and lame to rest on the hoary crest of Mt. Shasta.

It was the alpenglow—and suddenly the thought came to Anthony Garland that here, in this quiet little community, he was to find the alpenglow of a day that had been long and not too filled with happiness. District attorney. eh? Well. no. not that. Membership in the state legislature would suit him better —governor — congressman why not United States Senator —in time! He liked public service. True, if he espoused such a career he must put from him all thought of fortune, but — well, his wants were simple and few. He had fought th ■ world and had not found it too kindly. and in the peaceful places he had found rest and comfort. He turned to Bentley and threw his right arm across the great shoulders. "Zeke, you’re one of the best. Thank you witii all my hfeart. I’m going to drop anchor in Siskiyou." "Wise man! The big frog in the little puddle has it all over the little frog in the big puddle, Tony." "Better to be a lord in some poor paltry village than be an emperor and rule in Rome. Zeke.

He had a furnished bungalow at the Hercules hadquarters for his exclusive use, and after bathing and shaving here he strolled over to the company’s offi e in the rear of the general store. McNaughton. Thurlows successor, met him and for an hour they discussed the company's operations. "By the way. Mr. Jethroe.” the superintendent announced presently, "that fellow Mason has gone back to live at his ranch in Honey Valley. He's been in here a couple of times to purchase supplies and each time he has inquired as to the approximate date we expected you to arrive in Dogwood Flats. He said he had a business matter to discuss with you. “He lies. He has no business matter, to discuss with me." McNaughton was a reasonably astute man. "1 thought he should have said he had a personal matter to discuss with you. Mr. Jethroe. I Wouldn't be surprised if Mason teds he

has some unfinished business to take up with you—ln a personal way." I don't want Io see the follow. He's dangerous. If ho conies around here asking for me, don't you tell him I'm here. Understand?” "Are you afraid’ he may take a shot at you, Mr. Jethroe?” "I'm afraid he'll do anything.” McNaughton reflected that Jethroe would sodn be safe enough from the mountain man's vengeance, if, indeed the latter planned it. However, It <ll<l not seem necessary to remind his superior of this, since the same thought was probably never very far from Jetbroe's own disturbed mind. Outwardly, Jethroe was still his old, debonair self, still dwelling in the aura of good fellowship and cordiality which, like a stnoke screen, he always emenated. He comported himself as if a conviction on a charge of perjury were but one of the many petty annoyances to which a gentleman must b<‘ prepared to submit gracefully. Doubtless t)ie belief in his own Infallibility, horn of his tremendous ego. which bad inspired in him the idea that he was to receive a suspended sentence and release on pro-, bation accounted for this outward calm. Inwardly, however, he was; quaking; a cold fear clutched at his heart, he felt, slightly nauseated and ho had Jost considerable weight, due to nervous indigestion, the result of apprehension and worry. The sickly gleam of his gray eyes, the dark pouches under those eyes, the nervous quivering of his chin which he sought to control by frequently licking his lower lip with the upper, all conspired to Inform McNaughton that Jethroe hail reached the breaking point. Ono fierce, strong blow dealt him now, and ho would grovel. The new superintendent, looking np the road to Honey Valley, saw that blow coming in the person of Bob Mason, leisurely approaching on horseback. There is a latent instinct for drama in every human being. Although McNaughton scarcely knew Jethroe, he had heard all about him —read all about him. in fact, and the information did not sit well on his stomach. Knowing the man for what he was, McNaughton, nevertheless, could not help feeling a vagrant pity for Jethroe's beaten state—the pity one feels for a mad dog made harmless at last by a policeman's bullet. However, the vagrant pity did not blind McNaughton to the fact that Jethroe's condition was but a passing one: in the fulness of time his debt would be paid to the state, but never to Bob Mason; and McNaughton had a sudden savage yearning to see Bob Mason collect something on account. There was a drama to be enacted here —and McNaughton had a perfectly human relish for that sort of drama. He turned and glanced at Jethroe. The latter's head was bowed, as it in deep thought, as he entered the general store, hound for the company’s office In the rear. McNaughton did not think the man had seen Bob Mason approaching: if so. he had not recognized him at that distance. “I'll not stand for a killing.” the superintendent decided. “But if this poor devil. Mason, cares to tell Jethroe what he thinks of him, or even give him a terrible threshing, who am 1 to interfere with his justifiable pleasures?” CHAPTER 60 The Sheriff stepped into the store, took a small pistol from a showcase In the hardware department, broke a box of cartridges, loaded the weapon and slipped it in his rear breeches packet. Then he strolled out into the road to accost; Bob Mason. "Howdy, neighbor,” he hailed the rancher cheerfully. "Good afternoon. Mr. McNaughton, I understand your chief is here.” "Yes, he's here. Mason." Their glances met in silent interrogation, and Mason permitted himself a small smile. “Uli not stand for a killing, Mason. There’s no profit for you in that course," the superintendent warned

March 25. him. “Not,” he added, “that I don't think he merits it. I've heard all about your issue with him, and I admit he wants killing; but bad as he is he’s my superior officer and I'll have to protect him for that. You got a gun or a knife on you, Mason?’’ “Search me if you doubt my word that I have not. McNaughton. And I haven't come to kill him. I’ve triumphed over him, and my old cell at San Quentin is waiting for him. Time was when, under similar circumstances. I'd have gone right into h!s office and tunneled him without mercy, but I'm scarcely the man I used to be." “What do you want to see him about?” “Idle curiosity. I never had a good s.raight look at Jethroe. It was late in the afternoon when he testified against me at my trial and the light in the court-room was bad. He sat wi’h his face averted and tried to hide it from me with his hand. “And I thought, if I could get c’ose enough to him and he looked man’s size, I might muss him up some. He might give me a good fight, and I could spoil him for a [month. That would make me feel good—and I haven't felt good for quite a spell.” The quaint bluntness of that speech appealed to McNaughton's sense of humor, as well as to his dramatic instincts. He sympathized deeply with this despoiled mountaineer Had I he stood fn Mason's shoes he would have yearned to muss Jethroe up a trifle himself. “Give me your word of honor you won’t kill him or cripple him and I'll not interfere." McNaughton pleaded. Bob Mason extended his hand. “Wore of honor. McNaughton." The imp in McNaughton came to the surface shamelessly. "Very well. Jethroe just went into his office in the fore. He’s scared to death right now." Mason rode over to the store, dismounted, dropped his reins and strolled through to the office in the roar. He saw Jethroe kneeling on one knee in front of the company’s huge safe, h's back turned toward the gate in the office railing.

I’urdiiu Has A Fine Safety First Record Unfayette, Ind. March 21 — Safety first, last and all of the time is a slogan which might easily be adopted by the engineering laboratories and shops of Purdue university, which during the 52 years of their existence have not been marked by a serious accident. University officials feel proud of the record, which they attribute to exceptional caution on the part of Instructors in charge of engineering shop atid laboratory work and modem safety guards on all machines in operation. Only a lew minor accidents v ere n 'e<l up to 1900, and since thiil time not a one has been recorded.

Fly wheels, belts and pulleys in the mechanical engineering laboratories have been equipped with safety devices and not even a minor accident has occurred in them in 27 years.

\ (S? ’-’1 says Mr. Adolph S. Ochs, the managing owner < f the New York Times, "is simply won by the practice of the ordinary virtues.” Whatever success the Standard Cil Company (Indiana) may have achieved has been won by the practice of ordinary virtues. Through the years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has held a single purpose—the kind of purpose that inevitably inspires the loyalty and enthusiasm of all who share it. The purpose of the Standard Oil Company i Indiana) to serve the jieople of the Middle West has demanded the best that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has had to give. It has demanded the doing of every task, large and small, conscientiously. It has required the constant everyday practice of such “ordinary virtues" as honesty, sincerity, loyalty. The loyalty which has inspired thousands of men and women in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to work together, day in and day out. through the years, with singleness of purpose and a common enthusiasm has often excited the comment and praise of the public. The “ordinary virtue” of loyalty seems extraordinary in the case of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) only because for so many years it has motivated so many people. In the history of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) many thousands of people have been a part of the organization. A younger generation fills in the gaps that time inevitably leaves, and as the business grows the size of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) fan ily grows too. The number of employees has increased ur’il today more titan 29,000 men and women are required to carry on the work of the Company. The number of stockholders has increased until today more than fiO.OOO men and women are owners of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana . This great mass of peonle ’ hanging from time to time in personnel—tonptant ly increasing in numIxtt has been united anti inspired by an unfaltering loyalty. The men and women who have become a part of the Standard ('it Cot .-anj' (Indiana) have caught its spirit of servite. Tli.it united loyalty has been a nuttual result. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has striven —industriously—honestly sincerely to serve the people of the Middle West. The success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) can only be measured by its service, and that success has been simply won, in the words of Mr. Ochs, "by the practice cf ordinary virtues.” Standard Oil Company (Indiana ) Genera!
