LARRY reporter, hunting the of his brother. MIKE BENTLEV rancher, knew too much about auto YESTERDAY: Monnie Larry about the accident, how was hurrying to Bentley's almost crashed into the other car on Dead Curve.

Saw the car go over the cliff and burn, heard the shot Bentley arrived soon, tried to pull the dead man from the wreck. Bentley had seen the car toward the hill, followed. The coroner found evidence that the victim had been drinking. "But Hugh never drank liquor," Larry says. INSTALLMENT 8 Monnie was silent, wanting to believe Larry, but unable to comprehend how he could be so sure that Hugh had not been drinking.

Larry went on: "Hugh never drank, and he wasn't drunk that night, regardless of what the coroner said he found." He was certain of that. "My uncle was a drunkard, and Dad never got over it. Whr-n Hugh and I were youngsters, Dad explained that we might have a taste for liquor and he hated it so that both Hugh snd I never to drink. We might have forgotten that promise made as boys but dad was killed the next day. Hugh would never have broken his word to dad." "If it weren't for this drinking angle, I'd think Hugh deliberately drove off the cliff to avoid running into if he'd been drunk, he" wouldn't have done that.

Someone knows more about that whisky bottle in Hugh's car I'm going to find out who it is. and where that bottle came from." not admit it, that the girl might follow him. He was sure, however, that her pride would not let her. When he glanced toward the big house, the spot of white on the porch had disappeared. There was a light in Monnie's room.

He wondered what had happened to Bentley. Evidently he had been delayed longer than he had planned. The black whinnied again. The horses were restless, probably because he was in the corral, Larry decided. The moon, rising late, shed a pale, cold light over the a k.

With characteristic abruptness, Larry decided to take a look at Dead Man's curve. It took only a couple of minutes to bridle and saddle the black. He would save time going horseback, rather than driving his car, and he could ride along the canyon floor or the highway as he chose. Just what he hoped to find, Larry was not sure, but he wanted to see Dead Man's The black settled 'into a long canter as Larry left the ranch headquarters. An hour later, he sat on top the promontory overlooking the scene of Hugh's fatal accident.

To the right a white ribbon of concrete stretched eastward to- don't blame me for what I "did," Monnie ventured, "and for not telling the whole truth at the inquest." His arms were around her, pulling her close to him. She did not resist. "1 couldn't blame you for anything you've done, Monnie," Larry reassured her. "You didn't kill reassured her. "You Hugh.

Either he killed himself. you had no part in I know that." His lips brushed her soft, black hair. She looked up at him. "I wanted you to say that. Larry.

You have to believe me." HP" bent to kiss her lips jerked hack abruptly, jumped to ward house, Bentley's he knew, house. Mike's was about five miles away. Nearer, in the same direction, an air line beacon swung round and round, flashing a pencil of light against the sky. That beacon marked Bentley's landing field, available to transport planes in event of an emergency. Directly below the road dropped sharply downward from the rim of the canyon to the valley below.

The almost a right angle, was hidden from sight, but the road south, toward the Hayhook turn, was clearly visible at the foot of the hill. A steady drone of motors came from above, followed the Larry looked pinpoint red and green lights of the midnight plane as it sped its passengers toward the East. Only the sound of a light wind, rustling the grass, disturbed the silence after the plane had disappeared. Larry dismounted, led the black sliding and snorting, down the steep hillside to the highway. He tied the horse to the fence a few hundred yards from the curve, walked down the pavement.

He stopped at a newly painted stretch of railing at the 'road's edge, to peer down into the canyon where Monnie had watched the burning wreckage of Hugh's car. He could feel Hugh's nearness. An hour later, Larry returned to his horse. He had found feet. Surprised, nothing of particular value, but Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W.

BURGESS Reddy Fox A Scare Peter Rabbit up at the silvery moon and laughed aloud. Then he kicked uP hls he laughed again as he started out across the Green Meadows toward Farmer Brown's garden. You see, teddy Fox had found a new plant- jng of tender young cabbage there, and had invited Peter to visit it vith him at sunup the next morning. Now, Peter was suspicious, very suspicious indeed of Reddy Fox. So, as it v-as a beautiful night for a walk, he thought he would just run over to Farmer Brown's garden and see if he could find that of newly planted cabbage.

So Peter hopped and skipped the Green Meadows, sing- ng as he went: Hold, oV Miss Moon, hold up your light! Show the way! Show the way! The little stars are shining bright And night folks are out to play. When Peter reached Farmer Brown's garden he had no trouble finding the new planting of cabbage. It was tender. It was jood. My how good it was! Peter tarted in to fill his little round tomach.

He ate and ate and ate. 5y and bv, iust when he thought IB couldn't eat another mouthful, he happened to look over to a patch of moonlight. For just a minute Peter's heart stopped beat- ng. There was Reddy Fox coming traight over to the new cabbage bed! Peter Rabbit didn't know what do. Reddy Fox didn't see him yet, but he would in a minute or wo, unless Peter could hide.

He ivas too far from the dear Old Brier Patch to run there. Peter ooked this way and looked that way. Ha! There lay Farmer Brown's Boy's old straw hat, where he had left it when the supper horn blew. Peter crawled under it. It covered him complete- Peter peeped out from under one edge.

He saw Reddy Fox standing the moonlight, looking at the bed of newly set cabbage. Reddy was smiling as if his thoughts were very pleasant. Peter shivered. He could just what Reddy was" thinking. Reddy had invited Peter to come with him to this very place at sunup the next morning, and Peter suspected that Reddy was even now thinking how he would up Peter when once he got lim away from the safety of the Old Brier Patch.

The thought made Peter so indignant that he forgot that he was tiiding and he sat up on his hind legs. Of course, he lifted the straw hat with him. Then he remembered, and sat down again in a hurry. Of course, the straw hat went down quite as quickly. Presently Peter peeped out.

Reddy Fox was staring and staring at the old straw hat and he wasn't smiling now. He actually her eyes demanded an explanation. "I've still got a job to do, finding out shortly. about Hugh." "I've no right he to said think 'about you until that's finished. Please understand." He turned, walked quickly from the pnrrh without waiting for her to answer.

Halfway to the house he heard her call: "Larry!" He hurried on. bunk- he had a clear picture of the scene of the accident. He would have to wait for daylight to examine the floor of the canyon. He mounted and turned back toward the ranchhouse. The visit to the curve had given Larry a definite idea of Hugh's accident.

He pictured the car speeding over the crest of the hill hurtling down toward the curve Then the lights of Monnie's car stabbing the darkness. And the He did not stop at the bunk- crashing plunge through the guard house, hut went on t.o the ra anr rlown to 1he canyon floor.

Of course, the hat went along with him, and because it covered Peter all up, it looked for all the world as if fhe hat were alive. Reddy Fox gave one more long look at the strange thing coming toward him through the cabbage bed and then he started for home as fast as he could go, his tail between his legs.

This would exceed 1939 production. Egg production will be smaller the second half of this year than in 1939 because of the smaller hatch in Arizona and the nation, Baker said. An increase in egg prices probably will occur, he added. Production of alfalfa may be reduced because of water shortage.
