I things! I—” She whirled to Bar-
>y. “Take me with you, Barry!”
i “We wouldn’t let ’em take her,
{ Barry,” said his father. “Not un
less she wanted.’’
“But don’t you see?” cried
Lucy. "It would be the same as
if Barry had stayed; they’d turn
things upside down to get me—
it’s the Hamilton money they’re
af’er, I know it. Didn’t they—
didn’t someone murder for a part
of it long ago?”
Barry caught her by the arm.
He didn’t speak to her but to his
brother.
“Get a couple of horses saddled
up for US, will you. Lute? Wo’!l
be getting ready to go.
The wanly lighted windows be
hind them ■were blotted out in
the dark. The black limbs of
[trees like monstrous arms spread
aliove them.
A sigh escaped the girl. That
was when, after a few minutes
of riding, she experienced a sen
sation of relief, of escape. At
the same instant Barry spoke.
Barry said. “You know I love
you, luicy.”
And Lucy, her voice hushed
like the breath of night air
through the pines, answered him
with the question, “Do you, Bar
ry?”
“.And you. Lucy—down in your
heart—”
“I'oii’l. Barry!’’
Pre.sPtiflv she said: “Barry, life ^
is terrible, isn’t it? It isn’t fair! j
It doesn’t give ii.s a chance. If
one only knew—”
“t^Tiy didn't 1 take you away
with mo that time from Tylers-
ville?’’ he exclaimed bitterly.
She didn’t answer, but in her
hear’ she whispered despairingly.
“Oh. why didn’t yon, Barry?”
“Toiii.ght I’m going to take you
to IVx Humphreys’ ranch," said
Barry. “It’s not fnr; we’ll be
there in an hour or an hour and
a half—”
“Sii!” whispered I,ucy, and
reached out to catch his sleeve.
“I hear someone coming!”
He, too. heaid horses’ hoofs on
a iiit of rocky trail in the distance
and a moment later there were
faint, faraway voices.
They had scarcely drawn aside
from the trail when a dozen men
went riding l)y. Two of those
men were Judge Blue and Tom
Haveril.
The riders passed on.
When tliey drew near Tex Hum-
phrt 'S’ cabin in his clearing a-
mong the pines Barry said, “’tt'ait
hero a minute: I’ll go ahead and
make sure it’s all right.” and
swung down and left her holding
his horse.
A slim little figure started up
before him. materializing out of
the Iilackest of the shadows.
“Jesse! So yon did come hack
to me!" said a soft voico niurmur-
misly.
“Molly! ” exclaim'd Barry.
'It’s you, isn’t It. Molly?”
Silo diew hack. i o'-’-ed for
flight. “You -Who are you?”
Sbo soitndod friglitenod.
”I am Barry. Don’t you ro-
inember Barry Haveril. Roberf.s
brollier?"
“O'l!” Sill' ■jaspod out the one
sylla!ile and crew still further
back from liint.
•Yon I'loneht I was Jesse,” tie
said. “What Jesse? Wbo is the
'esse you looked for?’’
Molly was trying to l)ite lii--
hand lull suddenly froze still.
“It’s Jesse Conroy, isn’t it?”
Barry persist,-d. still gripping lier
arm: “You’re waiting here for
him. .\iid he Is the nia'i who mur
dered Robert!
“Yon did love Itobert. didn’t
you. Molly?” he said gently.
She nodded miserably. She said
faintly: “Robert, gone now. His
ghost walks at night.”
“And llien Jesse Conroy came!”
“I was so sad.’’ she said. “And
j,,ose—He looked like Robert,
Just a little. And—and—’’
“And so you loved him, too,
Molly?”
She grew fierce, stamping pas
sionately. "No! You tell me he
killed Robert? That is true! I
know. One time Jesse asks me
amout Robert—and when I cry
he laughs. And he says something
then I can’t understand until
now! He says. ‘If I hadn’t come,
your Robert wouldn’t be gone,
huh?’ And he laughs some more,
like a bad Joke.”
! Then she sped away, running
off into the forest.
Barry went on slowly toward
the dark cabin. When he rapped
lightly there was no answer.
He stepped into the house.
The empty house afforded no
answer. Puzzled, ho went back
for Lucy.
The fire on Tex Humphreys’
long cold hearth, built up a-
fresh by Barry, blazed cheerily
Lucy crouched close to it, warm
ing her hands.
“You are the best, the finest
i man I ever knew, Barry.’’
' “Lucy!”
WPA Workers In
Southern S^es to
Get' l%her Pay
Some Reductions In North
ern States Are Ordered
■Washington, Aug. 15.—In ac
cordance with the requirements
of the emergency relief appropri
ation act of 1939, Col. F. C. Har
rington, work projects commis
sioner, today announced new se
curity wage rates which will
mean a substantial Increase of
those rates in southern states.
Unskilled WPA rural wages In
region three, which comprises the
southern. states, will be revised
upward from $26 to $35 per
month. Unskilled wages in this
region in cities of 100,000 or
over will be $50.70 a month as
against a present schedule of
$40, effective September 1.
In northern and weste,-n cities
of 100,000 population and over
the unskilled wage rate will be
$57.20 as against the present
schedule of either $55 or $60 a
month. Previous to revision under
the new law, the base security
wage for unskilled workers in
these cities In the north was $55
a month with discretionary au
thority given to increase this by
10 per cent. In a number of cities,
including New York, Cleveland
and Detroit, this Increase had
been granted, resulting in an un
skilled wage of $60.50 a month,
whereas other cities. Including
Chicago, Los Angeles s-nd San
Francisco, had continued at the
$1)5 base level. The new wage
schedule gives ail such cities a
WPA unskilled rate of $57.20 a
month.
Colonel Harrington stated that
in determining the new ■wage
schedules the controlling factors
were the language of the act and
tlie obvious intent of the Congress
as to the application of the wage
provision. The act provides that
no substantial change in the na
tional average WPA wage shall
he made. In June the average
WPA w.ige -was approximately
$53 a month throughout the-
country.
Rets^ Tra^
Increase Big
Washington.—A billion dollar
increase in retail trade during
the first six months of 1939 over
the 1938 period was reported to
day by Secretary of Commerce
Harry L. Hopkins.
Hopkins said that the total re
tail trade during the first half
of this year was valued at $17,-
900,000,000 a gain of 6 per cent
over the $16,900,000,000 last
year.
The lead over the previous year
was maintained during each
month this year. The largest jel-
ative gains was scored, during the
second quarter when sales aver
aged an increase of about 7 per
cent over 1938.

Treasury Check
Bounces
SprincfiPlti, Mass., Aug. 16.—
Sheriff David J. Manning of
Hampden county wondered to
day if Uncle Sam had overdrawn
his checking account after a U.
S. Treasury check for $61.20
“bounced” back marked “insuf
ficient funds.” The check was in
payment for the keep of four
federal prisoners in the county
ja'l. Manning said he would re
fer the matter to the U. S. mar-
slial’s office at Boston.
He demanded, sounding stern,
not at all lovorlike, “Do you love
me. 1,'icy?”
“T—I think 1 do. Barry,”
TTiere came a soft scratching
.so'ind at a window which made
them start erect.
‘It’s all ri'ht." said Barry,
it was Mnl'y. .She said: ‘ 1
wain to titlk with her. Barry. The
girl. You. Girl, come out here.”
“I’m troinc’” said Lucy, drawn
l)y M:”'-’s voice.
ntm-'' went with her to Hie
door, '’'‘ii'c down the liar. At
till' last minute lie slipped his
itelr gun into her Itand.
Barr> returned to his task of
preitaring tteds for the night op
Tex Humphreys’ sitting room
floor. Outside he hoard the girls
ta'.king.
He was Just straightening up
when he heard a voire speaking
drawingly close behind him.
“You woman - stealer! ” said
the voice. Barry pivoted to face
Tom Haveril. “I’m going to kill
you this time. Sundown Haveril.
Just as sure as you’re a fool
high.”
Barry did not for a second ex
pect aiiytiiin.g but sudden death.
He had given Lucy his gun.
“Kill and be damned to you,”
he .said, and sounded merely dis
gusted.
“So you're going to face it like
a little man, taking it standing
up, are you?” jeered Tom Hav
eril. “You can’t run away and
you can’t grab a gun, so like any
cornered coyote you’ll look it in
the face, will you?”
Barry wasn’t listening. The
greatest rage of Barry’s entire
life flamed up within him then.
Yet somehow he must warn
Lucy.
“What’s that?’’ he demanded.
“What did you say?”
Tom Haveril laughed at him,
thinking him gripped by terror.
“You yellow dog,” he said,
“you’re scared; that’s what’s the
mf.ttor with you.”
“So you’re going to murder
me, are you? No killing for you
in 'air fight—”
Shut up! Where’s Lucy?”
“She isn’t here.” said Barry.
Tom Haveril mocked him.
“Well, as my wife she won’t last
long, but as Colonel Hamilton's
heiress, that’s different!”
Just then Barry heard a quiet
footfall and Lucy's voice at the
same instant.
