Kirk was about to ask him not to make the
rash attempt, when he realized that it would
be no more perilous to go than to remain,
and he turned all his attention to that which
was happening at the top of the cliff, he and
could.
While this fusillade was kept up, it was
dangerous for the members of the road-aeents'
party to push more boulders forward, and they
ceased operations for the time being, thinking,
with good reason, that the rapid firing would
soon end.
The incessant discharge gave Bart the op-
portunity he wanted, and, with his revolver
loosened in his belt and his rifle in his hands.
he bounded across the opening, gaining the
slight shelter of the precipitous cliff before a
shot had been fired at him.
Owing to the noise made by Kinks and
Dory's weapons, Bart crept along the narrow
de6le, and climbed upon the boulders that had
been piled there, without making a sound
that could have attracted attention from a
person three feet away

itself
From the end of the pass, where two men
had at first been stationed, not shot had

had gone to rejoin their companions at the
top Of the mountain.
The end of the barricade was SO near the
outlet of the pass that it would be possible
to run across, and Bart hastily made up his
hope that the way might be clear for them
to escape.

LIQUOR QUESTION
Develops in Presby-
terian General
Assembly
MAY SHELVE THE REPORT
Delegate Named to Head
Committee Refuses to
Serve and Resigns.

| Columbus, Ohio, May 1S.-The first
indication in the Presbyterian Gen.
eral Assembly of the smouldering an
tipathy toward the temperance report
came today when DR.. David Wills, Jr..
OF OSWego, New York, who was an.
pointed Friday by Moderator William
h. Roberts, handed in his resignation
with the absolute refusal to serve,
he said he did not wish to be at the
mead OF a committee which would be
| the target of the shafts of those Oh
posed to the report. A movement to
shelve the report has already been
started.
There is strong opposition to the
antl-saloon league, many of the com
mlssioners declaring that they will
not vote to continue the work of this
league and claiming that the young
and old peoples societies should take
up the work Of the league in the
church.
wayne wheeler, superintendent Of
the league, who is urging his friends
to stand by the league, says that the
movement against the league started
with the Prohibitionists who brought
forward the inter-church council as
a substitute. ....
Moderator Roberts appointed Rev.
Henry +. Decker, of Louisville, Ken
lucky, as successor to DR.. Wills upon
the temperance committee. The tenn
perance controversy did not get upon
the floor of the assembly today be.
cause of adjournment soon after noon
until Monday. Moderator Roberts in
his statement expressed the determi-
nation that the temperance question
should be settled at this meeting
