HOW ao ON WITH THS ST6RY When McCloud got out of the boepit&l, he found himself off th« force, suspended for neglect of duty: ^Many a convict was glad to hear It. for a cumber had scores to setrtle. Among them was Albert! and t Brodie, who paid the lonely ex-offlcer a visit as he sat alone in his flat broodin* over the *lory that [ once was his and contrasting & | foUnch of lauditory clippings with i the current newspaper stories denouncing him. In disgust he tore ;tb« clippings and threw them away. away from these gorillas an' kNsfi the doors?". . ' "You got my boys wrong. They think the world of you. I got 'em here to protect you--from the gun* on the <ftitside." McCloud relaxed. "That's swell.' A guy never knows who his friends are." "You'd've been knocked off a long time ago. Johnnie, except you were the pet of the force. If some cokie took a shot at ybu we'da had the whole department on our ears, shooting first and asking questions afterwards. That was your life insurance. That's why you never carried a gun. But It's different now. It's open season on you. You're oft the force and the cops are offa you." Ennis helped himself to. another part of the sandwich. "On account of O'NeM." "I know the man that got O'Neill. I got a look at his face that night, an' I never forget a face. . I was figurin' on getttn' that guy--after I ?ot Perry." Ennis turned to his men and ad-' dressed them with exaggerated politeness. "If you gentlemen will excuse me. 1 have a little business to talk over with McCloud." The men went inco the adjoining Yoom. closing the door behind them. "So you're still after Perry?" Ennis took a cigar from his pocket and put it In his mouth. "You don't know where he is. do you?" We lit the cigar. "What'd you give to find out?" , McCloud paused. "If Tm on th6 spot, what good would it do me to find out?",--- ----- • U.~ "How'i yON like to take the gats away from these gorillas and j > lock the doorsf • . (Posed by Jack Holt, Walter Connelly and Jack Laftuk) •As he looked up, he spied the two men. "Hi, Brodle. Hi, Albert!." j "Got your gun .on you, Johnnie?" Brodie asked. \ "No." I "We have," Brodie volunteered. / "If we plugged you how. your jpals on the force would send us a [vote of thanks," Albert! sneered, j McCloud was contemptuous. "Am 11 supposed to turn pale? Do 1 sit |up on my hind legs and beg? Or ; maybe you ain't used to shootin' at somebody whose back ain't turned." He deliberately turned Land went to a smoking stand nearly. Then he took a cigarette and lighted it with his back still to them, .while, the men watched Their eyes turned wifh hate, yet they made tio effort to drtiw' tlteir guns. "Well, what're your waiting for?" McCloud turned and came toward them. "Go ahead--shoot." They backed away from him, and Brodie held up his hands in a placatory gesture. "Take it easy,, Johnnie. You got us wrong. This is a/ friendly call. Ennis sent us. He wants to see you." ^'Why didn't he come here,.then?" Brodie hesitated. "Well " "Cause he's yellow like the rats lie sends out," McCloud broke in. "Walt a minute--he's got something for you," Brodie volunteered. "He didn't tell us what it was. but it's something about a weddin' present." "What!" McCloud wa# startled. He thought of that night at the I speakeasy when he had arrested j Perry. He stood for a moment |th inking it over, then he walked over to the table, picked up his hat, put it on, and stalked out of the room, followed by Brodie and Albert!. McCloud entered Ennis' epeak- «asy while the latter was eating Ennis jerked his thumb at a chair near his table and McCloud sat <lown. He reached into his pocket for a cigarette and lit it. "How long have you been smoking cigarettes, Johnnie?" Ennis asked. "Ever since I can remember." "If you knew that one you're smoking now was the last you were ever going to smoke, you'd enjoy it to the last puff, wouldn't you?" McCloud blew smoke and looked Over the half circle of Ennis' henchmen. "This has all the earmarks of a wake. All yuh need is a corpse." ."We got a corpse." Ennis took a bite of a sandwich "You." He reached for an olive. "I guess you've had a run-in^wKh everybody in this room at o»ie time or another. And on the outside there must be a couple hundred more." He bit the olive. "Did you ever hear of Lloyd's of London?" McCloud was undisturbed. "Yeah --an insurance company. They issue insurance on anything." "Practically anything. But they wouldn't give anybody a policy on you right now." McCloud took another look at the faces around bim. "What is this, Mossle--a firing squad? They're the rattiest lookin' bunch I ever saw. . Three o' them got broken noses-- an' I broke "em." "That's right. And they haven't forgotten it." McCloud leaned forward. "Listen. Mossie--I've only been outa the hospital a couple of weeks and some of my ribs aren't mended yet. Howd you like to- take the cats Ennifc indicated the room' into which the men had passed. "Those boys in there are all here to protect you until you get away." McCloud was skeptical. "Yeah? Where am 1 goin'?" "Bermuda. Tfhat's where Perry, iis." McCloud got to his feet. Ennis waved him down with his cigar. "Sit down, Johnnie. Don't get excited." McCloud sat down again and Ennis continued. "I gave Perry a Job down there--sort of a bookkeeper and pay-off man--"* He shook his head sadly. "Johnnie, never trust a man that's good at addii)' figures." "I could have told you th'at." "As soort as Perry got down there he bepah gypping me. He's knocked down thousands of dollars on me, and now he set to sell out to another outfit. That's what I want to stop. I'd like to have him back here, and I don't know anybody better to send than you." McCloud jerked his head toward the room where the ijien waited. "What's the matter with some of your own boys?" "Well, the authorities down at Bermuda are kinda funny. I've been gettin' by because we're running everything nice and quiet. They won't stand for any rough stuff. And those babies in there are a little too trigger conscious." He looked toward the door and noticed It ~ slightly ajar. He arose, went over and deliberately closed it. Then he resumed his seat and continued addressing McCloud in a low tone. "Outside of that--there isn't a single one of them that wouldn't double-cross his own mother. I've got to send somebody I trust." "Thanks." McCloud paused and deliberated . "Suppose I 'take you un--I might go to Bermuda and keep going." "You might." Ennis paced up and down before McCloud. "But there's somebody else down there you're interested in--somebody named Lola. You were going to marry her some clay. Still feel that way about her?" "What's that got to do with it?" "If you do. L'm offering you a wedding present--a trip to Bermuda. You might call it a sort of a honeymoon coming bacE." He paused. "I've always had a soft spot in my heart for you. Johnnie, and I " McCloud arose to his feet and Interrupted. "Ennis. the trbuble with most smart guys is they think everybody else dumb. There's a lot of people around this town don't like me much, but nobody hates me like you do. You've felt that way for years. You want me to get Perry because you think I'm the only one that can.do it without gun play." "That's It. You get him. and then when you come back----'* "I'm bumped-" Ennis shrugged and leaned back In his chair. "It'd be d swell epitaph. Johnnie--'He got what he went after' " He arose and went over to McCloud. "But you've got me wrong. You underrate me. I'll admit_ I've no use for McCloud. the cop--but you're not a Cop now. w hen you work for me it's different. Ana nqbody in this town's gonna take a shot at someone that work* for Mossle Ennis."

V Washington.--While the of the world's wheat supply Is spectacular-- millions of bushels carried thousands of miles across great oceans-- the transportation of rice, also a major "staff of life," goes on more quletiy. In a smaller area. It Is pointed out In a bulletin from the National Geographic society. **ln China, canal boats and the backs of coolies spread the grain into regions close to its growth," says the bulletin. "In India, too, the hauls are short, and are made by bullock cart and railway. Barges float their loads down the streams of Indo-tliina and Slamj and solid rice trains on Siam-'s modern railways help-in the movement toward the coast. Steamers and ocean junks carry their grain cargoes up the coast of Asia to China and Japan. India and Chjna in Lead. v "Exclusive of China, for which country no accurate statistics are available, more than 63.500.000 tons of cleaned rice are produced annually. Toward this mighty; rice bowl India contributes more than 55 percent of the total amount. Japan contributes 14 per cent ; French Indo China, Java and Madura, and Siara follow, each with somewhat less than half of that amount Estimates indicate that China raises about 25,000,000 tons each year, but, as rice has been a forbidden Item of export from time immemorial, no one worries about statistics as long as his dally portion of rice Is forthcoming. "Rice growing Is not confined to continental Asia and its adjacent Islands; In Africa, Europe and. the United States' rice fields also sprawl 'over many well-watered areas. With the exception of Italy, European countries find the demand greater than their production. But from the fertile fields, especially In the Po valley, comes sufficient rice to place Italy In the group of rice exporting countries. "In the Ikiited States, mainly in Louisiana, Georgia, and the Carolinas, there is harvested annually nearly *575,000 tons of rice. About 14,000 tons of the cereal is imported, but fully nine times that amount is sent by the United States Into the .export market. "In Minnesota In early- autumn one can witness the traditional hsifvesting of wild rice by the Northwest Indians, an activity that originated countless generations before white men ever set foot on American soil. Present-day methods do not enter into the harvest Two or three persons, usually squaws, paddle the canoes into the beds of rice Which grow in the shallow waters around the edges of lakes. There they pull the heads of the rice over the side of the boat, strike them sharply, and gather the grain in the bottom of the canoe. Modern indentions have been tried, but they destroy the-stalks and reduce subsequent crops, so have been abandofted. "Contrary to the belief of some, all domestic rice Is not alike. Indeed, „ there are some 4,000 varieties of rice In Japan. Wet'and Ory Rics. "In general rice is classed Into two groups, 'wet' and 'dry' rice. It *eceives these classifications from ,the manner In which it is grown. The 'wet' rice Is grown in flooded fields, while the 'dry' variety, sometimes also called 'hill' rice, is grown in uplands where the water supply Is limited. Hill tribes usually grow the dry rice in jungle clearings on the mountainsides. "Rice cultivation entails much backbreaking labor throughout the East where most of the grain is first sprouted In nursery beds and grown there to the height of about one foot. It is then transplanted into fields which have been flooded and worked into a deep 'porridge' of oozy mud. The grain Is usually harvested by hand with sickles, and eventually threshed by hand or by driving oxen and water buffaloes round and round over piles of rice heads. The husking and polishing for local consumption, too, is often done by han'd or foot pounders. "In Japan, Java, and many other places rice fields resemble tiny gardens, rather than fields, so small is the area that is allotted to each farmer. "In China and Japan the area cultivated by one hand laborer is usually about one-half to two acres, while in the United States, where modern, machine methods are employed, one farmer may handle as much as 80 acres. Under the latter system the large, level fields are flooded during growtbl Before harvest time, however, the water Is drained off. The dried ground becomes firm enough for the use of ordinary reapers which cut and bind th« rice as wheat is cut and bound. "Although its use as food is lost In the mists of antiquity, rice is believed to have been utilized first in India, the land which produces far and away the largest rice crop today. As early as 2,800 B. C., a ceremony of the first planting was performed In China. The emperor, Soo of Heaven, sowed the seeds of ricc, the princes the lesser grains." /----; Twift Taught to BallfinclM* .
