M*"" 1 ' w—■ ini i - Rep. Wright Patman, Democrat from Texas, is one of the Congressmen trying to stop speculation in U. S. government bonds. This speculation and the resulting chaotic prices depreciates the value of our currency. Patman has recently prodded the Federal Reserve bank into suspending its “bills-only” policy, and purchasing government bonds on the open market. This should prevent further loss in the value of the dollar through bond speculation. o o—— Rain has prevented a number of farmers from harvesting their wheat this past week. The crop is good, but it is one of those provoking years’when the fields are too wet, and moisture content of the wheat too high to permit harvesting here. We are fortunate, however, to have had a strong extension program here in the past 20 years, keeping local farmers informed of new varieties of wheat as they are developed for this area. A few years ago rains as hard as we have had, and wet weather for such a pefiod, would have knocked the fields to pieces, and left the wheat worthless on the ground. The standing ability of present varieties has partially saved the day. Even with prices of only 75% of parity, and with moisture discounts, some farmers will make some money on their wheat, if they were able to harvest it at all.

An unidentified Adams county banker was among those who has written to the state FHA office .thanking that agency for placing Adams county on the disaster list. He added that his bank is carrying more farmers in proportion to the size of the bank than at any time since 1934. —O—OH— One of the reasons we have unemployment here in the DecaturFort Wayne area is that the vast market for goods and services for the more than 11 million persons now unemployed has dried up under the hot sun of the rising cost of living. Sen. William E-. Proxmire, of Wisconsin, favors an increase in social security payments now, to expand the buying power of our senior citizens, who are unable to buy the bare necessities of life on their pitifully inadequate social security benefits. o o Loses in electrical machinery, motor vehicle, and primary metals orders and the closing of the U. S. Rubber plant in Fort Wayne have caused the Fort Wayne-Dc, catur area to be placed on the list of the 259 areas most severely affected by the recession, according to the Department of Labor. Decatur workers have not suffered as much as workers in other areas, as those mainly affected are those employed in Fort Wayne. Buying power is still strong in this area.

CHAPTER U A QUICK search of th 3 sheep weds and barn had netted no trace of the carcass, and now Slade Considine was faced with the necessity of again abusing Frenchy’s hospitality. It was a job he hated to do, for in spite of the Innate sheepman-cowman prejudice, he liked Frenchy Quebedeaux. When he threw open the door and saw that the fancy bedroom was just as Frenchy had left it last night, his first feeling was one of relief. Then as his eyes swept on around the room he noticed that one edge of the rug was wrinkled as if it had been hurriedly thrown back in p|ace, and on one of the big yellowish tan flowers was a dark spot that shouldn’t have been there. He bent over and examined it closer and saw two other spots, spaced about the width of a man’s hand, as if bloody fingers had pulled it back in place. ’ Slade threw back the rug and saw the trap door underneath. It opened upward, swinging easily on well-oiled hinges, like everything else on the place bearing witness to Frenchy’s painstaking workmanship. The air from below was cold and damp. Slade struck a match, cupped his hand around it and started down the concrete steps. The cellar was small, not more than six or seven feet square and barely deep enough to clear the cowboy’s head when he stood straight. Against one concrete wall were sturdy shelves neatly stacked with canned fruit. A v half-dozen lumpy gunny sacks in one corner Slade judged probably held root vegeta bl es from Frenchy’s last year’s garden. And from the heavy rafters overhead hung a couple of cured hams, half a sheep, and—the quartered meat of a freshly butchered calf! Slade struck another match and kicked at the fresh red hide in the corner until he could see Wynn Thomason’s T Anchor - brand. Then he turned-and went back up the stairs. He had found what he had expected. He had solved at least a part of the mystery of the rustling in the Chupaderos—but i somehow he didn’t feel very well satisfied about it. He kept re- i membering the gentleness that < was under Frenchy’s rough ex- i terior, the streak of almost womanish sentimentality that! somehow didn’t fit in very well ; > with this kind of sneaking crook- 1 ; edness. i I He saddled the sway-backed bay, but before he mounted his 1 e own little sorrel again he fin- i the gun at his hip. saw that 1 it was riding high where it could j

ccme out easy and quick. Slade didn’t pretend to be a gunman. He had worn a gun almost constantly since he was fifteen but he had never pointed it at a human being in his life. But he knew how to use it, and remembering Frenchy’s violent, sudden temper, he thought he was likely to need it Frenchy probably wouldn’t be the kind to submit tamely to arrest. But about that he was mistaken. • • • When Slade got down to the little vega, Frenchy, sweating and swearing, was just coming back from a rock-throwing chase of a big, brindled bull. Bacho, a foolish, vacant grin on his face, was sitting by the edge of the creek, under a big cottonwood tree. His clothes were sopping wet, he was shivering, and half talking to himself. Frenchy threw a furious look in his direction, and swore again. “Some day 1 keel somebody! If 1 know who geeve Bacho that wheeskey, 1 keel him now!” He flung out a hamlike arm, pointing down to the huddled, bleating sheep. “That bull make fight wee th Shep an’ keel two my sheeps—while Bacho he seets there an’ geegle!” He strode over to the little herder, grabbed him by the back of his'’ collar, and threw him in the creek again. Bacho slid into the water sitting down. He stayed there a moment, then started to get up. A foot slipped on a rock and he sat down again. He grunted with pain, but this time he bent over and deliberately stuck his face in the water. Frenchy watched him. The next time Bacho staggered to his feet, the big sheepman reached out an arm and helped him to the bank, then sat him down with a jolt that ought to have made him sore for a week. Bacho shivered when the breeze struck his wet clothes. He sputtered water from his nose and mouth, wiped, it off his face and hair. Frenchy’s treatment- had been rough, but it was also effective. In a few minutes Bacho stood up. "All right, Frenchy, I’ll bring the sheep in. I’m sober now.” He still staggered when he tried to walk, and his eyes were dull, but his voice sounded sensible. Slade turned to Frenchy. “1 hate to have to do this, Frenchy. But you're under arrest, you’ll have to go in to Barrancas with me.” The Frenchman swung his big head round, and his heavy brows drew together across his nose. “Arrest? Me? What for?” hei rumbled. ~ - |

s Bacho’s head jerked up as if . he had been hit across the back ■ of the neck. “Now what the —?” ; “For butchering a T Anchor • calf. 1 just found it in your > cellar." Frenchy hunched up his shouli ders and stuck his chin forward, • like a turtle poking his head out ■ of his shell. “You find a calf—in : my cellar?” he repeated incredulously. He took a step forward and Slade Considine’s hand dropped down near the gun at his hip and stayed there. “1 found the kill up In the hills," he said quietly. “You weren’t very smart, Frenchy. Anybody could have tracked that big-footed bay of yours right to your front door, with the carcass dropping blood with every step. Somehow 1 had you figured for a smarter woodsman than that, Frenchy." "He jolly well is,” Bacho said, his voice still a little thick. "We’ll let the Justice of the Peace settle that!" In Frenchy Quebedeaux’s dark eyes a brief anger had flamed then died away, leaving a look that Slade Considine didn’t like. It was a look compounded of about equal parts of reproach, cold contempt and something like disgust. The Frenchman took a step towards Slade, then his eyes dropped to the gun at the cowboy’s hip and he stopped, shrugging his shoulders. “I been gone from the house all day," he said quietly. “1 don’ even ride the beeg bay today. 1 turn him a-loose in (the pasture!” “I’m sorfy, Frenchy," Slade said, and meant it. Frenchy’s simple statement had half-way convinced him that the damning weight of the circumstantial evidence against him was somehow false—but only half-way. The Frenchman shrugged. “You say essorry—but no! You theenk thees because I am sheepman, an’ you don’ like sheeps." Bacho laid his hand on the big Frenchman's arm. “Don’t worry, Frenchy. They will never convict you. I’ll And out who is trying to frame you.” Frenchy shook the hand oft his arm. “All I wan’ you to do ees stay sober — and watch the sheeps!” Again his eyes measured speculatively the distance between himself and Slade, then the gun at the cowboy’s flnger-tips. “Okay,” he said. "I go.” “The next instant a gun barrel laid forcefully along the side of Slade’s bead crumpled him with a soft, grunting ; sigh. ...” A new chapter of ! suspense will appear tomorrow.
