preliminary hearing. Jesse Black springs
the first of many great surprises, waving
examination. Through Jake Sanderson,
member of the outlaw gang. he had
learned that the steer Mag had been re-
covered, and thus saw the uselessness of
fighting against being bound over. County
Attorney Gordon accompanies Louise
Dale on her return to Wind City. While
Wiliston stands in the light in his door
at night a shot is fired at him. The house
is attacked and a battle ensues between
WilistOn and his daughter, on one side,

flashed a fieeting smile at him. He

Cinnamon Take Up Skating Fad.

Whether it be owing to Christian
ity, civilization or Americanization,
matters not, but the Chicago China
man is getting there" He has taken
to roller skates, says the Chicago EX-
aniner
With him it has become a case of
roll, roll, roll along" but instead of
"over the dark, blue sea" as when he
came from the Celestial kingdom it
is across and along the pavements of
the chop suey district"
That he enjoys the sport is attested
by the increasing numbers seen night
ly in Clark and adjacent streets.
1t seems odd to see these so-called
heather going with the wind, their
queues flying behind them, and the
straps of their skates pressed down
deeply into their well padded sandals.
The missionary didn't teach John
Chinaman to skate. He got the in
spiration from his children, and they
learned it from their American school
mates.

MORLEY NOW A PEER
BRITISH LIBERAL LEADER QUITS
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
III Health and Too Much Work Forces
Distinguished Lieutenant of Glad
stone and Friend of Carnegie
Into Easier Post.

London-John Morley, the distin-
euished liberal leader, has been ele-
waited to the peerage; he will, how
ever, retain the Office of secretary for
India in the reorganized British parlia-
ment Morley's reason for accepting
a peerage is his declining health and
throat affection that makes the
strain of the work in the house OF
commons too great
In leaving the house of commons
that body loses one of its most noted
members Many accomplishments in
and out of his official duties have un-
doubtedly earned this title for the
English liberal leader, historian, the
ologian, orator, editor and student.
Morley has likewise been called the
Puritan of politics, title which his
passion for righteousness and his pub
lice austerity have conspired to win
him.
1t is difficult to imagine Morley
among the peers, for whose benefit he
invented the phrase: Mind them or
end them" When made secretary of
state of India his critics said he would
make a weak executive. He proved
otherwise. He made Il vigorous speech
in the house of commons, in which he
announced his purpose to crush sedi-
tion in India with a strong hand. He
defended the sharp treatment he had

BACON MAY SUCCEED TAFT.
Assistant Secretary of State Likely to
Head War Department.

Boston. - The intimate personal
friends of Assistant Secretary of State
Bacon, formerly of Boston, have re-
ceived information which leads them
TO believe that Mr.. Bacon will become
secretary of war about July / next,
succeeding Secretary Taft, who is un-
derstood to be desirous of retiring
from the cabinet at that time.
The determination of Secretary
Taft to retire is said to be quite
definite, and is understood not to
be dependent upon the outcome Of the
national convention

extended to Indian agitators and re-
fused to offer an apology. British
rule in India will continue and ought
to continue and must continue
said he.
John Morley was born at Blackburn,
England, December "a, 1898. He was
graduated from Chettenham and Lin
coin college, Oxford, and began life
as a barrister. In 1867, however, he
was called to the editorship of the
Fortnightly Review, a post which he
held until 1882. From 1880 until 1883
he was likewise editor of the famous
Pail Mall Gazette, leaving his desk
there to go to parliament as the repre-
sentative of Newcastle. He was Irish
secretary in 1886 and again from 1892
to 1895. In 1896 he was returned to
parliament and since gradually
achieved for himself a reputation in
politics. letters and philosophical
thought.
Morley was Gladstones favorite lieu
tenant when the Grand Old Man"
died. He was one of the axious per-
sonal friends who watched over the
great premier in his last illness, and
his Life of Gladstone" is one of his
most notable literary labors.
Hall Caine and Andrew Carnegie are
among the close friends of the liberal.
The laird of Skibo is accounted one Of
the particular intimates of Morley, in
personal way, in the tendency Of
their thoughts and aims and otherwise.
Recently Carnegie, well knowing his
friends studious inclination, presented
him with a library of 10000 volumes,
one of the finest collections of books
in existence. In 1904 Carnegie also
influenced the noted Englishman to
come to America. In Pittsburg Morley
was the guest of Carnegie and there
delivered his only American lecture.
In an interview in America Morley
said that he, as an English liberal, was
always intensely interested in Amer
lea and her politics and that England
as a whole was fascinated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
More than once ii has been said that
if John Morley had 4 vice he might be
premier. AS it is Morley is too full Of
unrclenting rectitude, too barren of APP
parent passion, to be an English popu-
lar hero. For all that he is a man of
emotions and feeling, but, above them
all, one of restraint. One never knows
Morley the man, but one can never es-
cape Morley, the exterior, distant, re-
served and unbending.
In politics Morley is a liberal in
every sense, but he holds the same
reserve of caution on his theories as
on his public behavior In religion he
is an agnostic, but not one Of the as
sertive kind He has quick,
keen and delightful sense of humor, is
one of the most charming of
companions and is great IA
Vorite among women. He is by ma
ture nervous, is quick in temper and

The present Andreas Lichtenstein, a

CHAPTER XV.-Continued.

There were others who did not
know the little man. He hailed from
the southern part of the state. But
Gordon knew him. He knew he was
pitted against one of the sharpest,
shrewdest men of his day.
Gentlemen, | think we are ready"
said the judge, and the game was on
again.
The state called Paul Langford, its
principal witness in default of Will
1iston.
Your name, place of residence and
business?" asked the counsel for the
state.
Paul Langford. l reside in Kemah
county and | own and operate a cattle
ranch"
After Langford had clearly de-
scribed and identified the animal in
question, Gordon continued:
Mr.. Langford, when did you first
miss this steer?"
''On the 18th day of July last"
How did you happen to miss this
steer?'
My attention was called to the fact
that an animal answering this de-
scription and bearing my brand had
been seen under suspicious detention. !"
Prior to information thus received.
you were not aware this creature had
either strayed away or been stolen?"
Il was not?"
who gave you this information,
Mr. Langford?"
George Williston of the Lazy s."
Now you may tell the jury in what
words Williston told you about the
steer he saw"
This, of course, was objected to and
the objection was sustained by the
court, as Gordon knew it would be.
He only wanted the jury to remember
that Williston could have told dam
aging story had he been here, and also
to remember how mysteriously this
same Williston had disappeared He
could not have Williston or Williston's S
story, but he might keep an impress
sion ever before these 12 men shat
there was a story-he knew it and
they knew it-a story of which some
crotchet of the law forbade the telling.

zion had been called to the suspicious
