The temperature has warmed ~ up. as an entree to summer. OsL ficially, the season of hot weather arrives Friday at 12:25 a.m, giving you three months to take your vacation and enjoy the great outdoors without the worries of wlntery blasts. o o . Editor Jonathan Daniles of Raleigh, N.C., predicts that President Truman will run for re-elec-tion In 1952 and fight for hls*for-' eign policy. The newspaper publisher further commented that Mr. Truman fights with both hands. -In covering the 3300-mile long arena, all presidential candidates will have to be ambidextrous. o- oThe political line-up in the French general assembly is confusing than the mixture of opinions in Washington. The mid-tfie-of-the-roaders won the most seats, with the DeGaullists taking second place. In France, Gen. De Gtulle is compared to "Gen. Mac- ' ’ Arthur in this country, strongwilled and military-minded. o o Have adults out grown the en--1 joyment of. picnics? So few persons made reservations for the employers-employes picnic planned for Thursday that the retail merchants called off the reunion at Sunset park. People seem to like to go their own way and do as they please during hours of relaxation, which attitude probably accounts tor the lack of interest in a merchant-clerk’s picnic. ~~— o —~ o A pause is called in ordinary f day affairs as the community pays its respects to Upl. David Pollock, Decatur . soldier, who met accidental death in Korea. He was one of the first men to answer the - nation’s pall and was the first soldier from this city to meet death on the Korean front. The least we can do for the honored dead is to accord them full military honors and give them a final resting place in home soil. - -*—o— o— — The iaverage per capita income in America today, after taxes, will buy forty percent more goods and services than the average did hi 1939,“ according to John -jV.

•RECENTLY a new and| beneficent J use has- found for curare, a drug originally, noted only for its lethal effects. First brought to the attention of civilized men as the poison with which South American Indians tipped their arrows, curare has been the subject of many medical studies. These disclosed useful effects, but for many years they remained highly unpredict-able-and were accompanied by so many harmful resections as to make curare a doubtful remedy Nbw, however, that we have found ways of refining and fying it, it is corning into its futt 'field of usefulness. This is chiefly gained from the fact that it promotes relaxation of the muscles. Muscle spasm plays", a role in many conditions and. is well'known as the main cause of pain following severe injury. Even though treatment of the injury itself, progresses rapidly, it fe often necessary to give large and repeated does of nar- ' cotics to relieve the pain. Curare gives a better way of accomplishing the same end by relaxing the muscles, i For this purpose, curare is mixed with peanut oil and white wax to slow its absorption by the body, this giving it a long-last; ing effect when it is injected into . -a muscle. A series of ten patients with painful muscle spasm, due to injury, were treated with curare, some to the point where it was All suffered from intense pain. , impossible for them to # remain quiet.

1 1 CHAPTER ONE AV RI LL O appeared ahead, a scattering of yellow lights m the night, as mysterious as the cryptic note: that had brought him northward from below the border. The bay's ears pi ricked forward, tensing fodder and rest after the dusty miles that had been covered during the long, hbt day. The rider hir ».nd Across his face with a I blow and weary gesture, felt the rasping stubble on his jaw. A slight pressure of his knees start? ed the bay forward again. Nbr did Avrillo lose its air of mystery as he came into the town. Low and squat buildings, silent and slightly foreboding, appeared out of the darkness. Only the central portion of the town seemed to be alive, where lamplight threw yellow bars across the dusty road; The bay moved into the light and, for an instant, the rider loomed tall in the saddle, and then, melted into darkness again. Ife \ saw that there was a light Jn tihe General Store, anif it streamed from ( the high-porbhed saloon just beyond. Two saddled hordes stood with drooping heads at the store’s hitchrack. A lantern hurried over the wide doors Os the, livery stable. He turned in at the stable and stiffly dismounted, The hostler appeared as the man led thb bay through the doors. The hostler picked his broad teeth with a wood Splinter, dull eyes missing none Os the bay’s fine points, the saddle with the Mexican cohehas, the call, rangy man whom he judged to be in his late, twenties. “gtall and feed,” the stronger said, arid his voice had a soft slur. “I’ll off-saddle and rub him down.” The hostler wheeled and led the way to an empty stall. The stranger unsaddled while the hostler forked hay into the feed trough with a few ears of com.' • “You’ll be here long?” "Don’t rightly know how ions,” the stranger replied. “Maybe a day -—maybe a week. Qutcn, T” "Sure, who knows?” the hostler 'repeated and lost further InCeresfc. The stranger picked up his bedroll and left the livery stable, lie mounted the steps to thri hotel porch and entered the lobby. It was a long and narrow roorri with a short counter to one side, Its base badly scarred. To the left, a narriow stairway led to the upper floor. The stranger tapped a bell on the counter and dropped his bedroll to his feet. He turned the heavy register around, blew dust from the page, and signed his name with a spluttering pen. A door opened behind the counter and a man came out. He wore a soiled, white shirt and a black string tie. A high, bald dome caught the light from the hanging lamp and his eyes .\Mvre badly : ' i V' 4 I '

squinted. The stranger speared the pen back in the ink-stained potato, one corner Os his lips lifting in a tired ghost of a grin. “Make it a good, bed, amigo. It’s been a long, long time.” The. clerk moved the ledger around, squinted at the bold, blocky Writing, j ' “Tontol Riley—from Sonora,” he Said. “That's a long way off.” Tonto nodded briefly and waited until the turned and lifted a key from the board- He circled the counter arid shuffled toward the stairway. 'Tonto, looking plightly surprised, picked up his bedroll and followed the man. *fe'A lamp burned low in the upper hall. The clerk moved down the, hall, stopped and unlocked a door. He struck a match and advanced into the room, lighting the lamp, then he turned and hooked his thumbs in his wide suspenders. “I’m Al Hibbs, Tonto. You’ll be seeing a lot of me." “Will I?” Tpnto said, and A! squinted up at him. The clerk pointed to the iron bed in the corner whose white enamel had flaked like an ancient eggshell. “It ain’t the most comfortable in the Grand Hotel,” he said and looked around the room, eyes narrowed to slits. “But this is the safest we’ve got. Bucnas noches.” He backed out and closed the door. Tonto faced thb window as he undressedSo this! is Avrillo, he thought, and there, wasn’t much to it. He had seen a ijundred towns like this in his wanderings from his old home in Arizona. They were all alike; sun-Masted, ugly concentrations of the life and business of the far-flurig ranges. He had not been able tri see much of Avrillo, but Tonto knew the type. Only the Mexican pueblos below the border achieved a slight change in the monotonous pattern of the cow towns. L • But there was something here in Avrillo that needed explaining. The puzzle jay in a and cryptic letter TMteto had received slightly less than a month ago. It had been addressed to the old home, a ranch that had been sold to and absorbed by a big syndicate five years ago. ‘ The envelope had been soiled, made almost illegible by postmarks and scrawled forwarding addresses. It had catalogued his life for the last five' ytars—the home ranch that he had operated on a shoestring after his father’s death, wiped out by a drop in beef price; the postmarks of little towns scattered all over Arizona. He had wandered from ranch to ranch, working at each place until an inward restlessness had sent him wandering on. * Then, finally, the ■ '-‘I ' ■ ' .! , :

letter had reached him deep in Sonora and just in time. Tonto had hot found Mexico to his liking and he was ready to drift back north when ue letter came. Tonto had read the brief message, scanned the check drawn in his tayor. He studied the signature aind racked his memory for Owen Bradley. It didn’t copie, nor did he'have any recollection of the name, nor had he heard of Avrillo in New Mexico. Yet the check was substantial enough, once he reached an American bank. He reread the note. - “It will be very much to your interest to come to, Avrillo as q’.richly as possible. Please report to mfe at your earliest convenience with -suitable proof of identification. The enclosed bheck Will be sufficient to coVer all expenses and is drawn tp your favor, J can assure you thje matter is of the utmost importance to you.” Tonto—born had carefully studied the letter. He had folded it into his pocket and several times in the next two or three days took it out to rbad and study. It remained as cryptic as ever, nor could he find any tion in his past with Owen Bradley or the town of Avrillo, New Mexico. At first he had a strong suspicion that this might be some sort of practical joke, but joke Or not, Tonto had saddled his bay and started northward. When he reached Bisbee, 'he presented the check to the bank and gave satisfactory proof that he was George Riley. He was told he would have to wailt until the Avrillo bank was reached by telegraph and a confirmation returned, a matter of several hours. Tonto was so certain that the wholes thing would prove to be a hoax jjthat he nearly rode out of Bisbee without waiting fpr the denial that was sure to come from Avrillo. But he had just placed two hundred shot and dusty miles behind’ him and Bisbee, looked to be a goop place to rest for a day or two. He did not appear at the bank : until the next morning and then somewhat hesitantly. The cashier’s , face lighted when he saw Tonto , and he had the crisp, green and I yellow' bills waiting. Tonto stared . at the money in honest astonish- ; ment. He turned on his heel and i hurried out to his horse. Half’an hour later Bisbee was behind him , and he rode toward New Mexico. So he had arrived at this little box of a room in the Grated Hotel I of Avrillo. Tonto shrugged and , pulled on his shirt. He picked up his hat, beat the dust from it, i then blew out the lamp, s (To Be Continued) V ■ ■ ■ ■■ .■ ■ i

It was hart!, Tonto discovered, to decide about a man j with a squint. u “Where do I eat?" Tonto said. •Two doors beyond the livery stable, right across from the Golden Saloon. May me Garver cooks a mighty fine meal.” 1 “Thanks.” Tonto leaned against the counter and glanced at the register, opeq to his name, tft still looked black and bbld. “Not' many travelers come this way.” a “Not many,” Al \ admitted and hooked his thumbs In his suspenders. He ran his tongue around the inside of! his leathery cheek. “Leastways, pot recent.” “What do you know about me?” Tonto said ibruptly. Al rocked back bn his I heels and then forward on his toes. “Nothing—except you’re Tonto Riley and you crime from Sonora, Alike it says ther|e.” J “That’s \ blamed little,” Tonto Iglahced at the register, “to tell you I need a safe room. How’d you figure that?!” , “Oh, I reckrin It was that Sonora braqd,” Al answered eqpa b1 y? “Anything wrong with the room?” “No," Tonte said and started toward the door. Al called after him. i “Tell Mayme I said to feed you good, Riley. She'll do it, too.” “Thanks. You act like I’m \-to be hanged in the. morning.” j He stepped off the porch and onto the plank sidewalk. Across the street, the Golden Saloon splashed lamplight over the batwings and through its wide Lwindows out onto the road. Beside it stood the inevitable Cattleman’s Bank, dark and brooding as the row of office windows on the floor above. Tonto turned into the little case. It was a long and narrow room, cut three-fourths of its length by a flimsy partition. Along one side ran a low counter, measured off by rickety, round stools. Plain tables lined the other walk It was late for the supper trade and the place was empty when Tonto entered. An enormous woman with I ■

She stood just behind the counter, stout arms akimbo on her wide hips, eyes softly alight in her perspiring face. “I got deep-dish apple pie,” she said in a swift aside arid moved around the counter. Tonto made no acknoiwledgment, hardly dared look up. A newcomer moved with a soft step and a rustle of silk to one of the table?. Mayme’s tread shook the little structure and her voice bopmed back from the walls. “You look mighty nice tonight, What’ll it be? The steak’s kinda tough but' the roast ain’t bad at 1 all.

Tonto idled with his coffee. - His rhind turned again tb the note that had brought him to Avrillo. Owen Bradley, Attorney, would probably not be in his office this time of the night, but in a town as small as Avrillo he could easily be found. Tonto decided that by morning he would have a better impression of the town and its people and so be ip a position to judge whatever proposition Bradley would make. He was sure that the lawyer wanted fcim for some sort of a job and there’d be some peculiar angles tri it. , / I This brought Tonto to the inevitable question that had annoyed him all the way north from Sonora. I- ow had Bradley learned of Tonto Fliley? There just didn’t seem to be any answer to that. Suddenly Tonto sensed a presence just behind him. He looked up with a jerk, turning half around an the stoj>l. The girl stood beside him, smiling.
