Frank, clinging to the Thing, was carried cross-sectio- up the cellar stairs. Frank? If you didnt something must be the matter with you. And there was something the matter with me. I was scared. But Frank knew that if he showed the white feather now, his wife would remember it the rest of her life. He slipped out of bed and drew on his pants and socks. He left his shoes off because he didnt want to make any noise, and he took no light because a light would only make him a better target for robbers guns. He picked up his own revolver and groped his way down stairs. Down m the cellar he could hear boxes moving and apples rolling around. He locked the inside door so the burglars couldnt get into the house. Then he crept outside, down the cellar steps and into the cellar. steel-and-rubb- er n metal-to-mct- Frank Hears an Inhuman Sound. "By that time, says Frank, "my fear had left me. If a robber shot at me, the flash of his gun would show me where to shoot. I had as good a chance as he. But franks fear of burglars had only moved out to make room for a greater fear the horrible fear of the unknown. It was deathly still m that cellar. Frank listened breathlessly, intently. The stillness, he says, "seemed to grow even more silent, and the suspense increased. Then, all of a sudden I heard a strange, sound a sound that I knew came from nothing human. My God, what could it be? I didnt have long to ponder that question. In a split second the Thing was on me, sweeping me off my feet. Frank had arrived at that cellar door ready to fight burglars, but he wasn't prepared to meet up with something that wasnt human. He fell forward across the Thing, and clutched at It In panic. The Thing was Immense a veritable monster. It dashed np the cellar steps and Frank, still clinging to it, was carried up feet first. "Its strength, he says, was Irresistible. 1 felt as though 1 was nothing more than a feather in a giants hands. Many fears passed through my mind during the few seconds which that ghastly ride lasted, but all of them were too preposterous to believe. If I could have believed one of them 1 might have felt better. Anything was better than being at the mercy of an unknown monster. But suddenly the monster was out in the open and Frank was losing his hold. He rolled off and fell to the ground. When he got up he had regained his composure and also his senses. Frank went into the house and got a lantern. Then he went out again and walked to the barn. Sure enough there was his monster, and his hunch bad been right.

She never said so, but Frank could tell from the way she looked at him at times.

Dick Durrance, Dartmouth college student, was top man in the tournament, which attracted the talent of seven nations to Timberline lodge ski fields. Durrance won four of six possible mens titles. His competition included Hannes Schroil, the Austrian skier now plying his trade in California; Reidar Anderson of Norway, Fnedl Pfeiffer, Sun Valleys Austrian coach, and Walter Prager, who coached Durrance. Six Americans finished among the first 10 in combined downhill and slalom standings. All of them are young, with perhaps their best years of skiing ahead of them. The open downhill race was won Austrian-bor- n by Toni Matt, 19 year-ol- d New Hampshire ski instructor, who is in America to stay. He finished only two points behind Durrance in the combined standings. American amateurs won fifth, sixth and seventh places in open competition. They were Wendell Cram, Rutland, Vt; Dick Mitchell, University of Nevada, and Gordon Wren, Steamboat Springs, Colo. Other ranking Americans included William Janss and Peter Garrett. That these native sons were able to make such an outstanding showing is remarkable in that only a few years ago, skiing was something an American saw in news reels or travelogues. A few enthusiasts, of course, had long been interested in the sport. But they were in a distinct, and scarcely heard, minority. During the past few years U. S. athletes have had opportunity to avail themselves of more widespread skiing facilities. Their fondness and aptitude for the sport was evinced by the results of the Mt. Hood tournament.

On the other hand it would take hundreds of pounds of added reinforcement to make a square built vehicle as strong and rattieproof as the modern car.
