THE HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, JULY 24th, 1930 CHAPTER VI Slim Bogart Explains Of the excitement our arrival occasioned at the Kent farm, The Red-Headed Man _ By Leslie McFarlane jin canvas. | Then, with Slim puffing at a \cigaret and reclining in a rocker, 'with his feet in the oven; with {He had turned them down.

[have a remembrance of Hazel's astonishment when she saw me entering the kitchen, all wet and dripping; of her horror when the revenue officers brought in the two dead men; of her wild re- lief and clinging embrace when she learned that I had faced death out in the wild night and had re- turned unscathed. I remember how. Peter Kent came down stairs in slippers and dressing-gown, piping innumer- able questions and wandering about, getting in everybody's way; how we created havoc with the neatness of the kitchen by the puddles and rivulets that formed on the floor, dripping from our drenched clothes; how some one flung a coat over the corpses, hiding the coldly impas- sive visage of the Chief and the evil face of the stir bug; how Tony was safely handcuffed and seated by the wood box; how every one seemed to be talking at once. It was an hour before we calm- ed down and I was able to get some coherent solution to the mystery from Slim. That was after the revenue men, duly warmed and surfeited with hot coffee and cold meat sandwiches, had returned to Moberly in their launch, with the bodies shrouded der the table, and with Peter Kent ignoring all prophesies that he would catch his death of cold if he didn't go back upstairs and put on some more clothes, Slim cleared up many things. "To begin with," he said, "Mr. along that I'm a Secret Service man. I was sent up here with my side-kick, Red Kane." "The man who was murdered?" A shadow passed across Slim's face and he nodded. "He was my buddy on this job. I'm glad I helped even the score for him. We were sent up to run down the man behind the rum-running ring in this part of Michigan." "The Chief?" I said. "The man who was killed to- night. His real name is Varick, according to those papers we found on him. Even his own men didn't know his name. They knew him only as the Chief. He financed these small boats, paid his men well, and kept himself out of sight. "T came up here to look the situation over, and I found out that the smugglers had come to Mr. Kent in a rourdehout way, trying to get the use of the farm for landing their cargoes and getting the liquor out to the road. Kent and Hazel have known all! | "He got word to them that he |had changed his mind and that |they could use the farm. They i brought in two or three cargoes, land I helped them so much they |began to have confidence in me. | "Then I sent for Red, introduc- ed*him to the gang, and told them he wanted to join up. They took him on. His job was to find out what he could about the Chief. 3ut he made a slip of some sort. Probably we'll never know just what it was--he may just have been over-anxious--but it was enough to make the Chief sus- picious. The Chief told Joe that Red was a spy. That was enough. Joe killed my buddy and dumped him overboard." "No wonder you looked sur- prised when I told you about finding him." "Tt was a big shock," admitted Slim, gravely. "I tried to carry it off, but I thought you noticed something was wrong." "T gave it away, too," said Hazel. " When I heard about Red I thought I was going to faint then and there." "Well, we couldn't very well tell you what we knew. I had to carry on my bluff. I had learned from the gang on their last trip that they expected the Chief in Moberly tonight, so I sent word ijiquor in A\his cigaret during the unloading When the boat landed at the farm; I told Joe and Tony that the! South Road was being watched and that we'd have to bring the by water. I didn't know just where it was to be unloaded, but I had arranged with my men to be on the look- out for a signal. I was to lighta match." I recollected how Slim had emerged from the cabin and lit of the cargo, and the innocent ac- tion now assumed its full signi- ficance." "Well, you know all about the trip. I had to act pretty tough toward you in order to carry out my part. Dulmage evidently warned the Chief that trouble was in the wind and we had to make our getaway before my men could properly organize the raid. | However, it hasn't ended so badly. Varick and Joe are dead, and smuggling in this sec- tion has been hammered high, wide and handsome for the time being. We know about Dul- mage. Tomorrow," he conclud- ed with a smile, "I resign my job as hired man." "We'll be sorry to lose ,you, Slim," said Peter Kent earnestly. "Tl be sorry to go. But we can't always choose." Slim raised the stove lid and dropped the butt of his cigaret into the coals. Old Peter Kent sighed. Rain slapped against the black window-pane, and I re- flected that it was high time I was home and in bed. It had been to say the-least, a strenuous day. "Tired?" whispered Hazel. I nodded. She squeezed my hand. Peter Kent was dozing, and Slim was gazing moodily at the stove. I leaned forward and pressed my lips against her hair.

Every piece of the former is Government In- spected and must be free from all disease and fit for human con- sumption and bears the Govern- ment stamp that it has been so inspected. It is slaughtered in a sanitary Abattoir and immediate- ly placed in cooling rooms where it remains till shipped in Refrig- erator cars to its destination. On arrival here it is placed in our Cold Room which keeps it in per- fect condition till sold to the cus- tomer. Local Beef is picked up around the country by buyers, killed per- haps on the Barn floor or any old place, hauled to the market in trucks and wagons none too clean and where it is exposed to dust and other impurities until sold. It is not inspected for disease-- in fact many a local animal has been turned into beef to save its life, so to speak. Now, which would you, as a discriminating housewife sooner buy? You pay a little more for the Western Beef, but is it not worth it?

Grants for Agriculture, Education and Roads have one by one been withdrawn by the King Government.
