1t was enough. Gordon asked no furth-
err questions regarding that event.
And now. Mr.. Williston, you may
tell what happened to you on the
night of the 30th of last August"
Williston began to tell the story OF

The objection was overruled.

he proceeded:

Tho Washington correspondent of the
New York Globe says:
Adjournment on May 16 is now tho
program that viii probably be adopted
by the House and Senate leaders Rep
rcscntativc Watson, republican whip of
the House had a long conference with
the President last night. and May 0 was
agreed on as the probable date of adj
journmcnt of Congress. This morning
however, tho President called Mr.. Wat
son in again, said there would he meet
ing Of the governors and others on the
conservation Of national resources. which
he had called here for May -. lie told
Mr. Watson he had assured the govern
ors that Congress would then be in Sos
sion. and he hoped adjournment would
not be taken until after MAY 10.
on leaving the White House Mr.. Wat
son said tho Presidents wishes would
probably be met. though there was no
reason, so far as actual business was
cocccrnc1, why Congress could not get
away May o.
The President has not found himself
far apart from the Congress leaders. Mr..
Watson told him the bill to modify the
Sherman law could not get out Of COM
mttcc and there was no prospect for
anti-injunction legislation. The Prcai-
dent recognizes this and will ac0uiosoe
in It. In other words the Hepburn bill
TO modify the Sherman law is dead for
this session.
Congress Will try to put through cur
rcncy legislation, a bill to regulate child
labor in the district of Columbia, and
perhaps a bill for comNonsation of injur-
ed government employees.
a resolution will be passed authorizing
the ways and means committee to st
during the recess and examine into the
" orkings OF tariff schedules, and the
needed appropriation will be made to
meet the expenses Of the Investigation.
The report will he made at the regular
session next winter. and not at a special
session called utter the November elect
ion.
The President will not get his -four

He thought how then he'd look across

When Langford grappled with him, he
attempted to bring it down upon tho

gasped with dread, but Langford

Langford's great strength was more
than sufficient to hold the outlaw until
the dazed officers could do their duty
had he been let alone; but two men,

Mary had been the first to realize that

her revolver from her cowboy belt

her challenge. CHANGING quickly from
the cleaning barrel to the determined
face of the young girl. the men let go
their hold Of Langford and fell back
precipitately.
Instantly Langford sprang forwars,
but Black had made good use of his
moment of grace. Swinging his arms
to the right and left, he had beaten his
way to the window, when Langford
again seized him, but he he'd the ad-
vantage this time and he tore himself
loose, throwing Langford violently
against the window-casing With his
bare, cinched fist he shivered the
glass and leaped out-into the arms
of Jim Munson.
