WHISPERING ROCK by JOHN LEBAR ELEVENTH INSTALLMENT SYNOPSIS: Ruth Warren, who lived in the East, is willed three-fourth interest in the "Dead Lantern" ranch in Arizona by her only brother who is reported to have met his death while on business in Mexico. Arriving in Arizona with her husband who has allied lungs and their small child, they learn that the ranch is located 85 miles from the nearest railroad. Old Charley Thane, rancher and rural mail carrier agrees to take them to the "Dead Lantern" gate, 5 miles from the ranch house. As they trudge wearily through a gulch approaching the ranch house, a voice whispers "Go back!" At the ranch house they are greeted suspiciously by the gaunt rancher partner, Snavely, and Indian Ann, a horcuean woman of mixed negro and indian blood. Snavely is difficult to understand but regardless, Ruth takes up the task of trying to adjust their three lives to the ranch and its development. Kenneth, Ruth's husband, caught in chilling rain contracts pneumonia and passes away before a doctor arrives. Ruth tries to carry on. She is not encouraged by Snavely in plans to try and stock the ranch or improve it. She writes to her father in the East asking a loan with which to buy cattle. She receives no reply. Will Thane comes home to visit his father... and Ruth meets him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY An hour—two hours. Ruth cowered by David's crib with her eyes on the door. She had been telling him stories, breathless, incoherent stories. Now he night's dream. Now she was quite comfortable—she had always liked to be rocked, especially when the chair squeaked at every rock like this one. It was strange, she thought, for a little girl who liked to be rocked to have a memory of a great straining face with matted hair. No, it wasn't proper, somehow, to be rocked to sleep with one's mother crooning that old colored people's song, and at the same time keep feeling those little arms and seeing that terrible face which oddly enough was a lovely, welcome face. Ruth opened her eyes. Everything swirled about confusingly. Then slowly, taking one thought, one thing at a time, she knew where she was. She was in the sitting room of the Dead Lantern ranch house; David lay asleep on a pile of comforts before the grate fire; the clock on the mantel said five minutes to four. She was being rocked and at every swing forward she herself patted David. She turned her head and looked into the face of Indian Ann. The face smiled sadly. "Lie asleep, honey, lie asleep." "Ann, I'm awake now." "Iush, little white girl, lie asleep, lie asleep." Ruth put up one arm and drew Ann's tear-stained cheek down against her own. It was half an hour before Ruth spoke again. "It's all past, Ann, and I'm hungry—I think." Reluctantly the glantess placed the girl beside the sleeping child and went into the kitchen. Minutes passed and Ruth became you were stealin' my baby a-holdin' up the wall, took th' baby; when I David, I went back an' "Ann," said the girl "you couldn't help what you saved both our lives I bit and scratched you. The giantess smiled huge arm went round to "You feisty little ol' witch her face was filled with ought to be klit dead." "Ann, I'm so happy been afraid of this place and of—of him. But not on my side—why! I can We'll stand together ahead and make this t... in the world for you David. I'm bound to win A strange look came in face. She shook her her away from Ruth, her "No! No! No Miss—" The huge woman "You tell Mr. Snavely come in to' house before an' stayed with me—do 'bout th' voice talking nor nothin' — I got to Ann did not finish but the kitchen, crossed the entered her room. For a moment Ruth prised to move, then she door, "Ann," she called There was no response thought she heard a sh just beyond the door answer me one thing; anything, are you angry? Ruth waited before then a muffled voice NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY An hour—two hours. Ruth cowered by David's crib with her eyes on the door. She had been telling him stories, breathless, incoherent stories. Now he was asleep and she could watch the door unhindered. She had placed the trunk against the door and she watched the streak of muddy water reach its top, puddle, and run along between the slats and drip. She had long before, with her husband, fixed the loops securely in the walls and the bar was now in place. Something struck the door heavily; little drops of water showered in the air. The knob rattled and Ruth raised the heavy gun. A momentary lull let her hear the squelch of receding feet, then quick running steps, and the door crashed inward, pushing the trunk before it. The lamp went out. Ruth stood before her baby's crib, the gun held in both hands. Ann filled the doorway; the continuous lightning played upon them weirdly. Ann's hair almost covered her face; sparkling water dripping from the straight black looks. Neither woman moved. The figure towering in the doorway muttered—chantlike guttural words which seemed a part of the storm. Then silence for a moment, before the giantess crowched low and came forward. Ruth pulled the trigger—with both hands she pulled frantically, and remembered when the gun was knocked from her hand that she hadn't done something — cocked the hammer, she thought. Thereafter she thought no more; she became a thing of pure instinct, a furious mother animal fighting a black monster that had broken into her den. They crashed against the crib and David called out; once they tripped and for a moment separated, but as soon as she could find her enemy again, the mother sprang. She was gripped in a crushing embrace which lifted her from her feet. The girl became a scratching, kicking, writhing demon—every atom of her body struggling with a blind ferocity which would not be quelled. Her fingers, talon-spread, searched for the eyes of the giantess and her teeth bit into a bonellike muscle. Suddenly she was flung bodily across the room. Her limbs tingled numbly and for a moment she could not move. It was during this moment that, by a quivering flash of lightning, Ruth saw a dark, jagged crack running from the upper corner of the window to the ceiling. Without thinking, she knew what the crack meant, and heedless of Ann. The face smiled sadly. "Lie asleep, honey, lie asleep." "Ann, I'm awake now." "Hush, little white girl, lie asleep, lie asleep." Ruth put up one arm and drew Ann's tear-stained cheek down against her own. It was half an hour before Ruth spoke again. "It's all past, Ann, and I'm hungry—I think." Reluctantly the glantess placed the girl beside the sleeping child and went into the kitchen. Minutes passed and Ruth became aware that Ann was not moving about in the next room. Painfully, she stood up. In the kitchen Ann was sitting on the woodbox, her big hands over her face. The girl went to her. "Please don't, Ann—it's all past—please, Ann dear." "I ought to be kilt dead." Ruth stood in silence, her arms drawing Ann close against her. After a time she said, "Come on—let's get some coffee. I'll make the fire." A moment later Ann was making the fire and Ruth stood at the sink, measuring out the coffee. "Ann," she asked. "Why did it happen?" Ann shock her head. "Did the voice tell you to drink and did it tell you to come back to the rock at six o'clock and then when you didn't know what you were doing, did it tell you to—to kill—" Ann nodded and two great tears welled from her eyes. "Ann, why must you obey the voice? The Indian woman spoke, her eyes about th' voice talking nor nothin' — I got to know Ann did not finish but to the kitchen, crossed the room entered her room. For a moment Ruth prised to move, then she door, "Ann," she called. There was no response thought she heard a shout just beyond the door; answer me one thing; anything, are you angry? Ruth waited before then a muffled voice Miss Ruth, no! 'Forever you!' The key turned in the came a sound of heavy ringing away from the door. A few hours later they were working silently on mains of the old adjoining Ruth's belongings. They nothing unless it was as sary. To all intents to the two women were to that morning when they cleaned out the rooms. That never again would—beneath exterior she and Ann were closer than Search as she might, find the big revolver wiley had given her; it buried. Snavely returned aboard without any Mexicans. Reason, that no one in town wanted to come then, as he was spending trying to persuade an orion, the storm began; that the heavy rain woke on the ponds impossibly dried up again he'd get Ruth was heartbroken work had been attended there would be waity a year. But Snavelyy that the rain must have filled the deep pond inure, and that often he of a year. There was nothing any Mexicans at at He made little commute lapse of the old adjoining David would have to leave missory rooms. Continued Next scratching, kicking, writhing demon—every atom of her body struggling with a blind ferocity which would not be quelled. Her fingers, talon-spread, searched for the eyes of the giants and her teeth bit into a bonelike muscle. Suddenly she was flung bodily across the room. Her limbs tingled numbly and for a moment she could not move. It was during this moment that, by a quivering flash of lightning, Ruth saw a dark, jagged crack running from the upper corner of the window to the ceiling. Without thinking, she knew what the crack meant, and heedless of Ann, she started through the sudden darkness to the crib where David lay huddled. The mother stumbled and as she was trying to rise to her feet, the lighting came again. Ruth screamed; lightning shone like a livid snake through the jagged crack. The snake equirmed its way along the top of the wall above the crib and reached the door. Slowly the earthen wall swayed inward, broke into great, ragged chunks and fell. The stout timbers of the crib creaked under the weight of a slab and all was blackness, grinding earth, and pelting rain. A sheet of blinding light filled the sky. Ruth saw Ann a few feet away, half sitting, half kneeling, a chunk of adobe propped against her. The big face with the matted hair was stupid, stunned. The mother screamed at her, "David — my baby!" When next lightning flashed, the stupid face had not changed its expression, but Ann was looking at her. Again the girl screamed. The next flash showed Ann scrambling to her feet and from the quick-thrown blanket of blackness thundered a great, sobbing voice: "My baby!" Ruth felt Ann beside her, big hands fumbled over her own, a great shoulder edged itself under the end of the fragment. When light came again the giantess was holding up the slab and inside the crib David lay wide-eyed and gasping. Mingled with the memory of two small arms around her neck, there stood out in Ruth's mind the picture of a livid, tortured face, matted with straight black hair. This memory seemed to have been with her for a long time—since last month or last year or perhaps in last moment later Ann was making the fire and Ruth stood at the sink, measuring out the coffee. "Ann," she asked, "Why did it happen?" Ann shock her head. "Did the voice tell you to drink and did it tell you to come back to the rock at six o'clock and then when you didn't know what you were doing, did it tell you to —to kill—" Ann nodded and two great tears welled from her eyes. "Ann, why must you obey the voice?" The Indian woman spoke, her eyes fixed through the window where the eastern sky was faintly tinted. "I doan know why I must — it is the fear"—she touched her breast—"it pulls an' I go." "But what is the voice?" "I donan know — different things." Ann's voice dragged slowly, tonelessly. "It's the ol' medicine man who was with my mother's people — he have the power over all his people an' the blood of his people — he have power on my blood which is the blood of them people." "But that old medicine man must be dead long ago." "That is why he speak so close 'tout our seein' — his body is no more in th' way." "Ann," said the girl, rising and reaching her hand up to the great shoulder. "when you cried out you said, 'My baby' — have you a baby?" She nodded. "It seemed to me it was my baby under there. I never known until I brought her in here—I grabbed her away from you—I brought her in here an' built the fire an' put her down. Then I seen she was white—David. Afterwhile I went out an' found you." "Your baby is a girl?" asked Ruth. "Yes." The girl looked from the window. The ancient adobe was now a mound of earth. "Ann, how did we ever get out of there alive?" "It didn't fall all to once—the side towards th' barn jest went down. First it was only th' wall with th' window—then jest as soon as I went back an' got you th' other parts fell." The girl shuddered. "Ann, why did I stay behind after I pulled David out of the crib?" The giantess hung her head. "I didn't know how it was — I thought Begins Check-On Bus C The department of announces state high immediately would be check-up on all commarry carrying passengers or on public highways whether they have secrecy license and paid the sped by a new law passed legislature. The check will be made in co-operation with our state board of equalization in charge of E. Rayn of the patrol. The new law require of such vehicles to pay ense fee of $25 to the 3 percent of the gross cludes all vehicles op within the incorporated and towns and the refreight lines which pay portation tax levied by lature. Road Hog Defy By Ques What constitutes the term "road hog" as ap motor car drivers? According to a recent a "road hog" is any driver truthfully answer "no" list of eight questions: 1. Do you take more of the road? 2. Do you ever go someone else has the 3. Do you give poor at all? 4. Do you ever cut you should not? 5. Do you ever pass curve? 6. Do you ever drive headlights? 7. Do you drive wi pedestrians' rights? 8. Are you ever gui you were stealin' my baby whilst I was a-holdin' up the wall. I hit you an' took th' baby; when I seen it was David, I went back an' got you...." "Ann," said the girl impulsively. "you couldn't help what you did. And you saved both our lives—II'm sorry I bit and scratched you—" The giantess smiled sadly and her huge arm went round the girl's waist. "You feisty little ol' wil' cat!" Then her face was filled with despair. "I ought to be kilt dead." "Ann, I'm so happy! I've always been afraid of this place and of you and of him. But now! With you on my side—why! I can do anything! We'll stand together and we'll go ahead and make this...biggest ranch in the world for you and me and David. I'm bound to wi' now, Ann!" A strange look came into the giantess' face. She shook her head and stepped away from Ruth, her eyes fear-filled. "No! No! No, Miss—" The huge woman spoke hastily. "You tell Mr. Snavely that you done come in t' house before th' dobe fell an' stayed with me—doan say nothin' bout th' voice talking nor th' fight nor nothin' — I got to — I got to—" Ann did not finish but turned and left the kitchen, crossed the back porch and entered her room. For a moment Ruth was too surprised to move, then she ran to Ann's door, "Ann," she called, "oh, Ann!" There was no response, but Ruth thought she heard a slight movement just beyond the door. "Ann, please answer me one thing; have I done anything, are you angry with me?" Ruth waited before the silent door, then a muffled voice cried out, "No. 37 Counties Are Organized For Big Relief Job Mrs. R. G. Tuthill of Santa Ana Heads Orange County's Committee; O. Heying Anaheim As part of a campaign against destitution and unemployment, 37 California counties have organized their relief forces in conformity with the economic reconstruction programs of state and national governments. These county organizations as approved by the state emergency relief commission and emergency relief administration, will be charged with responsibility of administering all state and federal relief funds, according to R. C. Brannion, state relief administrator. "The primary purpose of the whole organization plan is to arrange for providing such necessities as food, shelter, clothing and medical care to each distressed family or individual through state and government funds and otherwise," Brannion said. "In general it shall be the effort of the committees and all contingent units to maintain family, group and individual health, self respect and morale at a point where they will be able to take full advantage of every opportunity offered by the government and the state re-employment and re-habilitation program." A special bulletin from the state emergency administration defining the duties of the county committees, states that no person under 16 years of age may be employed on a work relief project and the work relief wage must not be under 30 cents an hour. The work day is set at not more than 8 hours, and the work week at not more than 35 hours for manual labor. An 8-hour day and 40-hour week is designated for clerical and other office work. Following are the counties now having that the coming rainy season will bring different and more dangerous driving conditions in the state, the California highway patrol has issued a new set of driving instructions designed to prevent accidents and loss of life when highways are wet and slippery. Special emphasis was placed on the importance of first class lighting equipment, the patrol pointing out that need for good lights that do not glare is greater in the winter months because the days are shorter. Emphasis was laid also on good brakes although the patrol warned drivers against excessive and sudden use of braking power on slippery highways when the car is traveling fast. The safest rule, it was stated, is to drive at a slow speed and avoid situations where excessive braking would be required. The use of thin, worn tires on slippery streets and highways was discouraged by the patrol. For the benefit of those persons compelled by economic reasons to use tires from which the tread is gone a slow and cautious gait was recommended. Other suggestions were offered by Chief E. Raymond Cato as follows: Examine your windshield wiper and see if it is working properly. Keep well to the right but avoid soft shoulders and gravel at the side of the road. Go around the curves slowly and carefully. Use chains on sofa dirt roads or mountain roads covered with ice and snow. Inspect your lights frequently and carry extra globes. Avoid excessive speed and careless driving. Remember that a large percentage of fatal accidents occur in the bout th' voice talking nor th' fight nor nothin' — I got to — Ann did not finish but turned and left the kitchen, crossed the back porch and entered her room. For a moment Ruth was too surprised to move, then she ran to Ann's door, "Ann," she called, "oh Ann!" There was no response, but Ruth thought she heard a slight movement just beyond the door. "Ann, please answer me one thing; have I done anything, are you angry with me?" Ruth waited before the silent door, then a muffled voice cried out, "No, Miss Ruth, no! 'Fore Gawd, I loves you!" The key turned in the lock and there came a sound of heavy footsteps moving away from the door. A few hours later the two women were working silently among the remains of the old adobe, salvaging Ruth's belongings. The giantess said nothing unless it was absolutely necessary. To all intents the relations of the two women were the same as on that morning when they had first cleaned out the rooms. Yet, Ruth knew that never again would she fear Ann—beneath exterior she felt that she and Ann were closer than sisters. Search as she might, Ruth could not find the big revolver which Old Charley had given her; it was hopelessly buried. Snavely returned about noon and without any Mexicans. He gave as the reason, that no one in the little border town wanted to come very badly, and then, as he was spending the evening trying to persuade an old man and his son the storm began. Snavely knew that the heavy rain would make work on the ponds impossible. After they dried up again he'd get the Mexicans. Ruth was heartbroken — if only the work had been attended to before the rain, there would be water enough for a year. But Snavely reminded her that the rain must have completely filled the deep pond in the south pasture, and that often held the best part of a year. There was no sense in getting any Mexicans at all now. He made little comment in the collapse of the old adobe. Ruth and David would have to live in the commissary rooms. Continued Next Week Begins Check-up On Bus Operators The department of motor vehicles announces state highway patrolmen immediately would begin a statewide check-up on all commercial vehicles carrying passengers or freight for hire on public highways, to determine whether they have secured the special license and paid the special tax required by a new law passed by the last A special bulletin from the state emergency administration defining the duties of the county committees, states that no person under 16 years of age may be employed on a work relief project and the work relief wage must not be under 30 cents an hour. The work day is set at not more than 8 hours, and the work week at not more than 35 hours for manual labor. An 8-hour day and 40-hour week is designated for clerical and other office work. Following are the counties now having emergency relief committees, with the names of the committee members for Orange county; Orange: Mrs. R. G. Tuthill, Santa Ana; J. K. McDonald, Huntington Beach; Oscar Heyling, Anaheim. Alameda, Contra Costa, Del Norte, El Dorado, Glenn, Humboldt, Imperial Kern, Kings, Lassen, Los Angeles, Marlin, Mendocino, Merced, Monterey, Placer, Riverside, Saeramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Tulare, Tuolumne, Ventura, and Yuba. Livestock Gets Law's Attention Livestock may not be transported by motor vehicle along any highway of California for more than 28 hours consecutively without being fed, watered and rested for a period of at least five hours. The department of motor vehicles announces this is one of the provisions of a new law passed by the recent legislature. Exceptions are made to it only in case of storms or other contingencies. Another new section of the law empowers the department of public works to construct livestock trailer parallel to state highways and post signs leading to same. The California highway patrol is required to enforce provisions of this section. Four Danger Spots For Pedestrians Four danger spots lurk in traffic for the pedestrian. These are: 1. Crossing the street between intersections. 2. Coming into the street from behind parked cars. 3. Walking on or along rural highways, particularly when the pedestrian walks on the wrong side of the road (not facing traffic). 4. Playing on the streets. Although public opinion commonly holds the motorist to blame in any accident, Examine your windshield wiper and see if it is working properly. Keep well to the right but avoid soft shoulders and gravel at the side of the road. Go around the curves slowly and carefully. Use chains on sofa dirt roads or mountain roads covered with ice and snow. Inspect your lights frequently and carry extra globes. Avoid excessive speed and careless driving. Remember that a large percentage of fatal accidents occur in the winter months. Target Practice May Lead to Jail Do your target practice someplace other than on a public highway if you would stay out of jail! The department of motor vehicles so warned in effect, pointing to a law passed by the last session of the legislature (Chapter 373e Penal Codes) prohibiting the discharge of firearms upon or from any public road or highway. The law makes such action a misdemeanor. The California highway patrol has been instructed to enforce it.

GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN DOES NOT HARM THE HEART Begins Check-up On Bus Operators The department of motor vehicles announces state highway patrolmen immediately would begin a statewide check-up on all commercial vehicles carrying passengers or freight for hire on public highways to determine whether they have secured the special license and paid the special tax required by a new law passed by the last legislature. The check will be made by the patrol in co-operation with operatives of the state board of equalization. It will be in charge of E. Raymond Cato, chief of the patrol. The new law requires the operators of such vehicles to pay an annual license fee of $25 to the state board and 3 percent of the gross receipts. It excludes all vehicles operated entirely within the incorporated limit of cities and towns and the regular stage and freight lines which pay the state transportation tax levied by a previous legislature. Road Hog Defined By Questionnaire What constitutes the meaning of the term "road hog" as applied to various motor car drivers? According to a recent questionnaire, a "road hog" is any driver who cannot truthfully answer "no" to the following list of eight questions: 1. Do you take more than your share of the road? 2. Do you ever go through when someone else has the right-of-way? 3. Do you give poor signals or none at all? 4. Do you ever cut in or out when you should not? 5. Do you ever pass on a bill or a curve? 6. Do you ever drive with blinding headlights? 7. Do you drive without respecting pedestrians' rights? 8. Are you ever guilty of violating the rules of common highway courtesy? Four danger spots lurk in traffic for the pedestrian. These are: 1. Crossing the street between intersections. 2. Coming into the street from behind parked cars. 3. Walking on or along rural highways, particularly when the pedestrian walks on the wrong side of the road (not facing traffic). 4. Playing on the streets. Although public opinion commonly holds the motorist to blame in any accident involving an individual on foot, figures show that the pedestrian is wholly or partly at fault in a majority of cases.

Oct. 12—5t The Family Doctor by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. A VERBAL STROLL Studious men and women are continually learning things. Years ago, it was believed that foreign bodies like grape-seeds, or very fine particles of bone—anything that might be swallowed—would somehow work into the victim's appendix and raise merry—will a serious mess... But we were wrong; I've seen many appendices removed; never saw a grape seed or piece of chicken bone taken out of one in my life. They probably don't get into the appendix. So, in the season of luscious grapes, I'm guilty of eating them, seeds included—but no skins. It makes a genuine pleasure of eating grapes when you don't have to segregate the seeds. Grape-seeds are comparatively large and—smooth. I doubt if they irritate the intestine for this reason. It's not the case with blackberry and raspberry seeds—they are so small and, I verily believe are jagged! If you have artificial teeth below—and a lower dental plate—and attempt to eat a dish of nice raspberries—or a piece of good juicy, blackberry pie, then you will get my meaning. The agony of a dozen raspberry seeds under your "lower plate" cannot be camouflaged by the rules of table etiquette! If those berry seeds do the same thing to the colon that they do to the gums—then they are unfit to go though the human digestive tract—hence I taboo them, especially in colons past middle age, or in cases of colitis—no seeds, skins, or dense fibers. People used to think a cherry could enter the human appendix! Or a fish-bone! Or if the baby swallowed a shirt button! I am glad to admit that grape seeds are not very harmful, if you love nice, fresh grapes. Leave out the skins however. Cut 7 Counties In Game Hunting When the pheasant season opens for six days on November 15, there will be seven of the 58 counties in which there will be no pheasant hunting permitted. The state fish and game commission has recommended to Governor Rolph that the following counties be closed to shooting of this species of upland game birds: Sonoma, Marin, Lassen, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and that portion of Modoc county south of the 9th parallel.
