(Continued from Page One) Centrifugal force prevented him from inching his way to either open end and making good his escape, thereby foiling the masked men, the bloodhounds, and the irresistible force. Time also worked against him, as elapsed time from crest to * burst was only three seconds. The murder mystery would for- ever remain a mystery, because in order to pin a murder on a mur- derer, the law requires a recogniz- able corpus delicti, liberally trans- lated as a stiff. There was not enough left of Mr. Whozit to scrape up in a berry basket, let alone ~ enough ‘to ddentify. By this time the typewriter keys were red hot. While thy cooled, I made a phone call, in order to bet- ter establish times and places. ~ “You know that old place up -on the hill?” I queried. ‘Well, how long has it been since that silo dis- appeared?” “What silo?” © “You know, that silo that got swiped when the farm stood vacant for awhile. The kindly neighbors who annexed the plumbing fixtures and the water pipes and everything movable up to and including the kitchen stove probably took the silo in their stride.” “You don't make sense to me,” “Can’t you be a bit more explicit?” “The silo that used to be located on the uphill side of that dilapidat- ed barn, There is an impressive concrete foundation, round and deep. There is a lot of water in the bottom of it now, and a whole flock of ¢in cans. There are iron uprights around the top of the con- crete, probably once used to ls the superstructure to the founda- tion. But there isn’t any woodwork Probably somebody needed a silo or half a dozen chicken houses.” Howard snorted at the other end of the line. “Oh, that silo? That silo never did get built.= By ‘the time the owner got the concrete paid for, he was fresh out of money.” I returned slowly to the type- writer ~and tore up my abortive effort. These things always happen to me. There is money in murder mysteries, lots of it, but no maga- zine will ever write me out a check for “The Case of the Disappearing Silo.” Rats! % Te = Buy Victory Bonds And Stamps as 29 QUICK RELIEF FROM Symptoms of Distress Arising from STOMACH ULCERS oueto EXCESS ACID FreeBookTellsof HomeTreatment that Must Help or it Will Cost You Nothing Over two million bottles of the WILLARD TREATMENT have been sold for relief of symptoms of distress arising from Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers due to Excess Acid — - Poor Digestion, Sour or Upset Stomach, Gassiness, Heartburn, Sleeplessness, etc.. due to Excess Acid.

By BUSH Written expressly for the Dallas Post (All rights reserved by the author (Continued From Last Week) The surprise over my arrival from the office at so unusual a time, and the explanation for the same, quite overcame my wife for a time, as T had feared. Brave woman that she se was, she soon got control of her- self, and we prepared for the mor- row, and the future, so far as we could. Phone calls were put through to my sister, residing in a town in 'soufhern New Jersey, and to our son, in Oneonta. We asked the latter to come. and drive me to Philadclphia {for the appointment, and my sister .to meet us there. The son arrived in the small hours of the next morning, and at eight o'clock we were on our way. My wife, at first, was minded to accompany us, but realized that her physical condition made ‘such a trip impossible, and resigned her- self to the long period pt watch- ful waiting. ‘Late that afternoon I was in a bed in the hospital; and a few days later underwent the first of three delicate operations, during as many different trips to that place; gfor I went again in June, and the fol- lowing October; a total of some thirteen weeks. In all these weeks my faithful sister never failed to drive some eighty miles round trip daily to visit me there, read my mail, and write the daily letters 3 informing my wife of the happen- ings of the preceding twenty-four ours. And each time I returned to that hospital, and underwent another operation, it was with the hope and expectation that restoration of my sight would reward for all the mental agony, and financial ex- nense. In November, late in my stay there for the third time, a sus- picion that all was not well became a fear. One day that fear was con- firmed when the surgeon, evidently distressed, gently informed me that all possible had been done for me, and that the central vision neces- sary for reading and writing, was irreparably destroyed—that I might in time be able to distinguish day- light, and even shadowy objects; that would be the best I could hope for. Again that all-gone feeling in the pit of the stomach. ‘And again, how was I to break the Serible news to my wife ? I learned from my sister that my son had performed that diffi- cult task, and for the better pant of two days I lay in a daze—dazed, and sensing the tragedy of it all more and more, and wondering what was to become of us, now that my ability to earn a living for us was at an end. The men in the other seven beds in that semi-private ward knew the verdict pronounced on me, and the unaccustomed silence in the room spoke louder than any words, the sympathy they wished to ex- press, and could not. To my later surprise, when I came to review the events of those last days, I did not succumb to des- pair. Somehow, some way there would be a way out of the dark road which was mine to travel. There was a Power able to help and guide me, and mine, through the troubled days which lay ahead for us. Of that, I felt a growing assurance. 4 And, having been reared in a Christian home, to that Power I turned for the strength I so sorely needed. Nor did that power fail us. In. my waking hours, between periods ‘of thinking and planning for the future, I took to humming many of the old hymns of Sunday- school, and church. I was familiar with many of them, having pumped the church organ for several years; while in ‘my early teens. I hum- med and softly sang them all; doz- ens of them. And they were more than mere songs; they were Prayers of hope, and of promise. One in particular came to my mind repeatedly; that beautiful hymn composed by that noted English Churchman, in his hour of need, Cardinal Newman. The music I had always loved; now the words had for me rea] meaning. ‘Lead, Kindly Light.” Over and ‘over I sang the words of that hymn. Slowly, and with each repetition, understanding it’s portent more and more, and de- riving added comfort with each re- petition. The first verse I discovered, was a Prayer of confession, of weakness and total dependence. The second verse, a- confession of the errors of the past, and a prayer for for- giveness. And the third verse, a realization that the prayer was answered, and a prophetic wvision of a happier and brighter day to follow. Yes, all that, and more. ‘Lead, Kindly Light, amidst en- circling gloom Lead Thou me on. The night is dark, and I am far from home Lead Thou me on. Keep Thou my feet, I dc not ask | to see The distant scene, One step enough for me. I was not ever thus, or prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on. I loved to choose, and see my path, but now Lead Thou me on. I loved the garish day, and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years. So long Thy Power hath led me, surely it will Stil] lead me on. O’er moor and fen; o'er craig and torrent, till The night is gone. And in the morn those Angel faces smile Which I had loved long since, And lost awhile.” That hymn was my solace in my hour of need. And still is, for I still. have constant need of that “Kindly Light” to lead me on, over a road that is dark and full of pit-falls. Nor has it failed me. I returned to our home in Scran- ton, on Thanksgiving Day, 1935. “Thanksgiving Day”! It sounds ironical, I ‘know. But, somehow, although we couldnt see anything but difficulties along that path we had to travel, my wife and I felt that it would work out somehow. And we debated and planned our future course of action. Her long illness, and the added expenses incident to my trouble, and the fact our source of income had ceased, dictated strict economy. For that reason ‘we relinquished our Scranton apartment, and were fortunate to secure the one in Nicholson, where I still reside. A friend there discovered it and in- formed us of it, enclosing a penciled sketch of its arrangement, and other facts relative thereto. And with that sketch, began my readjustment to my new mode of life.

Some of the hundred-odd farmers who operated installations this year in Pennsylvania were on hand to tell the engineers of their ex- periences. New research in this field and experimental systems now being tested were reviewed in the effort toward producing bet- ter quality hay on Pennsylvania farms. Robert J. McCall, extension agri- cultural engineer of the College, who assisted in more than half the installations, declared ‘There are too many variables in Pennsylvania to compare results with other states.” He explained that types of barn construction vary from one extreme to the other, crops used for hay differ in various sec- tions of the State, and the style of hay finisher installed in each farm usually has individual char- acteristics. “All farmers who. have installed hay finishers agree they produce better quality hay than the old system which was afiected by wea- ther conditions,” said McCall. Vir- tually all the installations now in use merely blow air, at high ve- locity and low pressure, up thru the hay, either by means of lateral ducts or slatted floors. have been experimenting with the A few] use of heated air, but these have not yet proved their practicality, he reported. Improvements in design, fans, motors, and other details will be available for the hundreds of far- mers delayed mm making instal- lations by wartime restrictions, the engineers learned.
