WHISPERING ROCK by JOHN LEBAR SEVENTH INSTALLMENT SYNOPSIS: Ruth Warren, living in the East, comes into possession of three-quarter interest in an Arizona ranch, left to her in the will of her only brother, reported to have died while on business in Mexico. With her alling husband and small child she goes to Arizona to take possession, thinking the climate may prove beneficial to her husband's weakened lungs. Arriving at the nearest town, she learns that the ranch, "Dead Lantern," is 8 miles across the desert. Charley Thane, old rancher and rural mail carrier, agrees to take them to "Dead Lantern" gate, which was miles from the ranch house. As they wearily walked past a huge overshadowing boulder in a gulch in coming to the ranch house, a voice whispered "Go back! Go back." Their reception is cool and suspicious. Snavely and Indian Ann are the only occupants. They hear the legion of the gulch. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Ann, do you think it's going to rain?" asked Ruth, with an anxious look toward the mountain where Warren had gone. Ann shrugged. "Maybe so. Good thing to have big rain. We can hang the clothes on the porch." But the rain was not a big one. It came steadily all afternoon though not with violence—a penetrating drizzle, oddly cold. Ruth could no longer see the mountains distinctly—they hulked a grayish blur against the dull sky. She knew it would be impossible to find Kenneth Suddenly the man's eyes opened wide; his voice was an imploring whisper, "Ruth! Ruth!" "Mama, when is daddy coming home some more?" David would ask at bedtime. The girl brought her free arm across his breast and laid her cool cheek against his burning one. As a matter of fact, the sun was two of this fine ranch and we prove it." "I wasn't complainin' much'll keep me." Ruth summoned all but your share would enter of the amount." What are you hintin' half rose. "Let me tell you got all that's coming to chalk! It takes all the time in to buy my grub. I'm ner that's working an' quarter is due me as clever. Ruth's heart was thump certainly agree, Mr. Snaw think you have done splice possible I'll see that you share of the money may when he went to Mexico the point. We've got u ranch earn more, for both. "The ranch can't. I enough to keep the man but it won't do no more buy some more stock and so's the stock can live 'em here." Ruth singers drummed the table top. No one guessed how near she wad down. She didn't pretend anything about the ranchness of ranching—she o her interest in the ranch had in the world—that father. . . She looked what can we do? We thing." "You mean you got to I ain't needin' money—for mor'n fifty." "Mama, when is daddy coming home some more?" David would ask at bedtime. The girl brought her free arm across his breast and laid her cool cheek against his burning one. As a matter of fact, the sun was two hours high before Old Charley and the doctor finally arrived. Ruth Warren, with wide-eyed David in her arms, was sitting like an image of stone on the doorstep of the old adobe—staring at the live oak tree east of the ranch house. Kenneth was dead. In the days which followed close upon her husband's death, Ruth Warren felt that she had separated into two women. The one she had always known went about her tasks almost as before—even smiled and played with David. The other Ruth hovered behind her, a black shadow—a half-crazed thing of grief and utter terror, wailing questions which had no answers. It was only by pretending not to know about the other Ruth that the real Ruth could keep her a little away. But at bedtime David invariably asked, "Mama, when is Daddy coming home some more?" Then the black shadow entered and became her very self. At last, the question of what she must do became as strong, and then stronger than the hovering shadow of grief and despair. One day Ruth went to Snavely, as he was turning out his horse after the day's ride. Since the slight rain both he and Ann were in the saddle most of the day, Ruth had been glad. "Mr. Snavely," said Ruth quietly, "could I have a talk with you?" "Eh? All right—go ahead." "I thought we might want the ranch books to refer to," said the girl hesitantly. Snavely's eyes jumped to Ruth and back to his horse's head in silence. When they had entered the living room of the ranch house Snavely silently collected some papers and the old daybook, dumped them on the table, seated himself opposite Ruth and waited. "The first thing I want to talk about," said the girl, "is the ranch earnings." Snavely nodded. "How much do you think the ranch will earn this year?" "We can figger it pretty close—can't tell exactly." Ruth singers drummede the table top. No one guessed how near she was down. She didn't prete anything about the ranchness of ranching—the one her interest in the rancher had in the world—that father. . . She looked what can we do? We thing." "You mean you got to I ain't needin' money—along for mor'n fifty reckon you can come a understandin' me when don't want no money. Money ever done me w people so's I could rid I'm a long ways from b You got a claim on the only thing this ranch r money; the only thing is a place to live by my you one for the other." "How much is my slavely; what will you it?" The girl's voice eager. She looked up. "B do! We must do!" It was dark when at last she did go into the ranch house. Neither Snavely nor Ann had inquired about Warren; now Snavely looked up as though wondering why Ruth was late for supper. The girl spoke. "Some one must go for a doctor!" "Is he that sick?" asked Snavely, without much surprise. "I'm afraid it's pneumonia — please go!" "Why, there ain't no doctor between here an' town — eighty-five miles." "Then we'll have to go to town for one—please hurry!" "But not having no automobile we couldn't get there for—" "Old Charley!" exclaimed the girl. "Ride over to his place, and he'll go in his car." "The horses is all turned out," complained Snavely. "an' anyways I don't like to bother no neighbor—they don't bother me none no more an'—" A cold, clear-headed fury possessed the girl. "Listen," she commanded, "you are to start for Thane's this minute and ride as fast as you can! Do you understand that?" Amazement shown in Snavely's face; a reply came to his lips but he thought better of it. Then with a jump his pale eyes turned on Ann. "Go ahead!" The girl heard the feet of Ann's horse on the rocks ten minutes later—there must have been a horse near the corral after all, she thought idly. Kenneth was talking ceaselessly and unintelligibly. She put David to bed without his usual good-night story and seated herself by her husband. Hour dragged after hour. For a time the sick man seemed to sleep. The girl sat immovable, his hot, dry hands in hers, her pleading eyes on his face. Now and again his lips fluttered and she bent down her head. But there was no speech. The silence of the hot night pressed close; the empty miles of motionless desert made themselves felt, as if they, too, were concerned with what took place in the old adobe. All the silent world seemed waiting, waiting. Many times, bits of the road to town flashed through the girl's mind; she saw the twists, the hills, sand-filled arroyos, short stretches where speed was possible. The road was so very long. Twice it would have to be traveled before the doctor came. She knew that at best he could not arrive before six o'clock. When they had entered room of the ranch house Snavely silently collected some papers and the old daybook, dumped them on the table, seated himself opposite Ruth and waited. "The first thing I want to talk about," said the girl, "is the ranch earnings." Snavely nodded. "How much do you think the ranch will earn this year?" "We can figger it pretty close—can't tell exactly." "Well?" "Well, we got about a hundred mother cows an' th' calf crop don't run more'n fifty per cent—" he paused and wrote out some figures. "That'll give us about forty or fifty sellin' calves—that's our increase for the year an' we can't sell no more than that, without goin' down hill. Well, if we get thirty dollars for fifty head that's fifteen hundred dollars." "For the whole year?" Snavely nodded. "But couldn't a ranch as big as this—twenty thousand acres — accommodate more than one hundred mother cows?" "It could. But cows cost money. Your brother figgered on buying more—that's why he fixed up the windmill an' the tank an' all—but he claimed he could get hold of some capital." "Couldn't we get some? Couldn't we borrow some money to buy cows so that there'd be more calves?" "How?" "Oh, I don't know—people do borrow money. Couldn't we say to some one, 'Lend us so much to buy cattle with, and then we'll pay when the cattle make the money—we could give the ranch as security.'" "No!" Snavely's voice was a high-pitched shout of protest. "None o' that—none o' that. You don't know what you're getting into when you fool with that sort of thing! You'll lose the whole ranch to some cute sharper—that's what'll happen! No, Mrs. Warren, I don't feel that it would be wise to put the ranch up to borrow on. An' it's the law that both pardners has to agree before anything's done with the property." "Certainly, I understand that, Mr. Snavely; and of course we shall agree on everything." She smiled her best. "We're hot children looking for something to squabble about—we're owners A gleam of almost tion lit Snavely's face ward and would have on Ruth's arm had seen it. "Now, Mrs. Warren gettin' some sense. no place for a woman a wild, lonesome or strange to you. Suddenly Mrs. Warren, I'll give I've got for your inn can git out!" His voice pitched high, rang wrist room. "Yes, you can leave me like you for go back to the stink an' their low tricks high lives an' you That's what I want aim to have! I can I don't want no more nothin' but peace! Peace 'monget people that?" His pale, stu-through the girl. "Cause you thought money out of this can-I'll give you even an' it's more 'n' this in ten years. I'll thousand dollars and now and you can his voice rose to a sigh-to-night! to-night! lonesome thing!

"I wasn't complainin' none — that much'll keep me." Ruth summoned all her courage. But your share would only be a quarter of the amount." "What are you hintin' at?" Snavely half rose. "Let me tell you that I ain't got all that's coming to me by a long shalk! It takes all the ranch brings in to buy my grub. I'm the only pardner that's working an' I figger my quarter is due me as clear salary." Ruth's heart was thumping. "And I certainly agree, Mr. Snavely — I — I think you have done splendidly, and if possible I'll see that you get back your share of the money my brother took when he went to Mexico. That's not the point. We've got to make the ranch earn more, for both of us." "The ranch can't. It'll bring in enough to keep the man that runs it, but it won't do no more without you buy some more stock an' put in a well so's the stock can live after you get them here." Ruth singers drummed nervously on the table top. No one would have guessed how near she was to breaking down. She didn't pretend to know anything about the ranch, nor the business of ranching—she only knew that her interest in the ranch was all she had in the world—that David had no father. She looked up. "But what can we do? We must do something." "You mean you got to do something. I aln't needin' money—I been gettin' along for mor'n fifty year. I don't" Oil’s Economic Status Studied S. C.

William L. Rifenberick, M. E., is to conduct the sessions which will deal with functions of equipment used, cracking process, dehydration, and chemical treatment of refined products. The economic status of the petroleum industry will be among vital phases of that major business to be treated by Dr. day night course in "Principles of Proday evening course in "The Petroleum Industry" to open September 25 in Bridge Hall on the Trojan campus. Constituting a general introductory survey of the technology and economics of the several divisions of the industry, the course will include lectures dealing with geological and geographical occurrence of petroleum. Production, transportation, refining, marketing, and utilization of oil are additional processes to be studied in the fall term night course. Dr. Stanley C. Howard, lecturer in petroleum engineering also is on the 1933-34 teaching staff of University College, and is to conduct a Wednesday night course in "Principles of Production" opening September 27 in Bridge Hall, with the opening lecture to deal with principles of theoretical mechanics governing the production of oil, gas, and water. Topics to be treated include: the natural reservoir in respect to the function of gas in the pro- COLLECTED TAX DROP INDICATES BIG TAX STRIKE Per Capita Cost of $14.35 for California State Government Announced by Census Collected taxes in California, although increasing 43.5 per cent from 1918 to 1932, dropped 26.5 per cent from 1931 to 1932. This definite indication of a taxpayers' strike, brought on by a per capita State of California expenditure of $14.35 during 1932, is revealed in the bureau of census report released in Washington, D. C. on September 11. The per capita of property and special taxes collected was $1.72 in 1932, $2.38 in 1931, and $2.20 in 1918. The same report shows the net indebtedness (funded or fixed debt less sinking fund assets) was $142,444,984, or $24.12 per capita, on a basis of an estimated population of 5,906,000. In 1931 the per capita net debt was $22.88, and in 1918, $12.19. Operation and maintenance of the general departments of California amounted to $84,755,299, or $14.35 per capita, in 1932. This includes $29,548,-945 apportionments for education to the minor civil divisions of the state, which will be increased by about 125 per cent this year, due to passage of the Riley-Stewart plan in June. Per capita cost for operation and maintenance in 1931 was $13.33, and in 1918, $7.18 or half of the 1932 figure. Payment of interest on debts in 1932 was three times larger than the cost of operation and maintenance of public service enterprises. The latter accounted for $1,840,802; the former, $5,927,-252. Outlays for permanent improvements were $41,748,893, with total payments for operation and maintenance of general departments and public service enterprises, interest and outlays, were Ruth Ingers drummed nervously on the table top. No one would have guessed how near she was to breaking down. She didn’t pretend to know anything about the ranch, nor the business of ranching—she only knew that her interest in the ranch was all she had in the world—that David had no father. She looked up. “But what can we do? We must do something.” “You mean you got to do something. I ain’t needin’ money—I been gettin’ along for morn fifty year. I don’t reckon you can come anywheres near understandin’ me when I tell you I don’t want no money. The only good money ever done me was to give it to people so’s I could rid of ‘em. Well—I’m a long ways from broke right now. You got a claim on this ranch. The only thing this ranch means to you is money; the only thing it means to me is a place to live by mysef. I’ll swap you one for the other.” “How much is my share worth, Mr. Snavely; what will you give me for it?” The girl’s voice was strained, eager. She looked up. “But what can we do? We must do something.” A gleam of almost insane satisfaction lit Snavely’s face; he leaned forward and would have placed his hand on Ruth's arm had she not withdrawn it. "Now, Mrs. Warren, I think you're gettin' some sense. This ranch ain't no place for a woman an' a baby—it's a wild, lonesome country — mighty Dr. Stanley C.

Topics to be treated include: the natural reservoir in respect to the function of gas in the production of oil; the underground motion of gas and oil; water encroachment; ultimate recovery; repressuring; underground storage; water drive. Migration and accumulation also will be covered in the 12-weeks Wednesday evening college course at S. C. Courteous Driving Prime Traffic Need Common courtesy is a prime traffic need. It will give the other driver just the break he requires to complete a turn, and the man behind the requisite space to pass you in safety. Courtesy demands a turn or stop signal without fall. It precludes “hogging” the road.

The sales tax on gasoline amounted to $26,734,178 in 1932. "Matter" Subject of Lesson-Sermon "Matter" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Responsive Reading includes citations from Ecclesiastes: "I made me great works; I builted me houses; ... I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces; ... Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do; and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness." Among the Scriptural citations in the Lesson-Sermon is the exhortation of Paul to the Galatians. "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." One of the passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, says in part: "Mortals must look beyond fading." She looked up. "But what can we do? We must do something." A gleam of almost insane satisfaction lit Snavely's face; he leaned forward and would have placed his hand on Ruth's arm had she not withdrawn it. "Now, Mrs. Warren, I think you're gettin' some sense. This ranch ain't no place for a woman an' a baby—it's a wild, lonesome country — mighty strange to you. Suddenly he stood up. "Mrs. Warren, I'll give you every cent I've got for your interest. Then you can git out!" His voice, trembling and pitched high, rang weirdly in the small room. "Yes, you can go! You can leave me like you found me—you can go back to the stinkin' mess of people an' their low tricks an' their mean high lives an' you can leave me be! That's what I want an' that's what I aim to have! I can't abide people—I don't want no money, I don't want nothin' but peace! There ain't no peace 'mongst people, don't you know that?" His pale, staring eyes bored through the girl. "—you come here 'cause you thought you could have money out of this place. Well, you can—I'll give you every cent I've got, an' it's more 'n' this ranch'll earn you in ten years. I'll give you near ten thousand dollars an' I'll give it to you now and you can go to-night! Yes," his voice rose to a scream, "you can go to-night! to-night—you pore little lonesome thing! You don't belong here—I can't have you." Continued Next Week Short Days Bring Headlight Hazards With darkness starting to come earlier each day during the fall months, the need for properly adjusted headlights on automobiles is intensified. Glaring headlights are illegal and dangerous. Headlights are deemed glaring or dazzling when any part of the main bright portion of the beam strikes an object higher than the lamp center 25 feet or more ahead of the vehicle, and the lights are required to be of approximately equal candle power.
