KNOX MAY NOW
 SIT IN CABINET
House Passes Senate Bill by
 a Vote of 173 to 117

Washington, Feb. 16.-The Senate bill providing for decreasing the salary of the Secretary of State from S12,OO0 to $S,OOO in order to remove the constitu- t1onal disability which prohibits the appointment of Senator Philander c. Knox to the premiership of Mr. Taft's Cabinet: was passed by the House of representative yesterday afternoon by Q vote of 173 to IF. Eight Rep resentatives who were present refused to vote. This result was not brought about, however until after the House. by vote of 123 noes to 179 ayes, had refused to suspend the rules in order that the measure might be adopted A tWo-thirds affirmative vote is re- qulred to suspend the rules, and while those ill favor of removing MT. Knox tsisa ability outnumbered their opponents by 56, they still lacked 23 votes of the necessary two-t thirds
 When the House leaders found them selves defeated they put their heads together and decided to bring in a special rule to permit the passage of the bill by a majority vote. After some exciting debate this rule was adopted and the bill passed.
 MT. Knox when informed of the at titude of the House declined to make any public statement as to what he intended to do. MT. Taft has express ed himself as satisfied that the bull passed by the Senate on Thursday and by the House yesterday met the con- stltutional objection raised against Mir. Knox

 "Oh, I'll be careful" smiled Eustis; but don't believe he'll ever trouble me"
 Two months passed and Eustis was established on his new claim. which, with the enthusiasm of a youthful lover, he had named The Elsie" He was working hard, with small results but never failing hope. Then one day the news reached me that he had been shot at and wounded by some unknown hand. The bullet struck Sam in the back and the would-be mur- derer vanished as mysteriously as he came. Fortunately Eustis's wound though painful and rendering him un- conscious for the time being was not excessively dangerous, and in the course of few weeks he was well on the way to recovery. There were no witnesses to the shooting and the posse organized to hunt for the as sailant met with no success i'll their search. Eustis. on recovering con sciousness, had mentioned Fordham as the only individual he could think of as owing him grudge. but If the wounded mans suspicious were cor rect, Wylie had covered up his tracks skilfully. for nobody could be found who had seen him week after he left the Great Gait mine.
 Talking the matter over with Eus, tis, he informed me that when he fell he had turned partly over on his side, and just before his senses left him he caught glimpse of tall figure dis appearing around the corner of his cabin. which he felt sure was none other than his old enemy.
 It's just as lucky" he concluded,

hadn't enough honor about him to pay his just debts.
 Fordham. furious over the rating he had been subjected to before sev- front of store in which the post of fee was located, when he saw his creditor approach and drop two letters into the slide placed there for the re- ception of the mail. As soon as the merchant went away FOrdham slipped inside and abstracted the two letters from the rough, open box into which they had fallen. He knew that they were the correct ones, for in the left hand corner of each envelope ap- peared the name of his creditor. Go ing outside again he proceeded to tear the letters into fragments.
 It is probable that had Fordham known the penalties attached to his childish act of spite that he would never have attempted it, and i'll a few moments he was made aware of the grave mistake he had made. His ac- tion had been witnessed by law stu. dent who knew him slightly and this man at once informed him that tam pering with the United States mail was an offence that might get him into serious trouble. Fordham explained that he had torn up the letters simply to get even with his creditor and had no idea that by so doing he was likely to get the United States marshals after him. On pondering over the matter he evidently became alarmed at the idea of having offended the government and made up his mind to leave Graham. Going to where his horse was stabled he saddled the ami

Great Gait superintendent relieved the camp of the disturbing element in it's otherwise harmonious whole by dis charging him.
 During the following week Eustis, whom I had known and liked for over a year, paid me a visit at Tucson. He narrated the events which had led up to the ejectment Of Fordham from the camp and wound up by asserting that he, too, had resolved to try his for tune elsewhere.
 Its like this, Reno" he said. "Theres girl in Chicago waiting for me and must make money faster so that I can go back to her. Her name is Elsie Wallace and she's true blue and not bit impatient. but l don't want both of us to grow gray haired before 1 make a strike. I've got hold of claim that promises well. It looks good to me and if it pans out right ought to be able to say good-by to Arizona in little while"
 Well I hope you have good luck, Sam" I said. Sand and sage brush grow mighty monotonous in fellows eyes at times, especially when there's s a pretty girl back among the white lights of a big town, watching for his return, But want to caution you about one thing. Look out for that maverick, Wylie Fordham. He's bad through an through and just the sort of chap that is likely to get even with you in the long run. If he crosses your trail again keep sharp eye on him, and act quick if he makes a suspicious move"
 Eustis laughed. I'm not worrying about Fordham," he said. q guess he got all he wanted from me the last time we clashed"
 Yes" I responded, fin fair, stand LID scrap. But he's the sort of bird | that won't fight fair if he can land you any other way, This is Arizona. Sam, | and more men die from A bullets than measles here. Fordham's half a | Greaser and all the more dangerous l because he's got some white blood in

nal and rode at gallop for the noun tains, heading due west.
 In the meantime the law student mo- tified the postmaster of the robbery he had witnessed and that official col lected the torn fragments of the let ter from the road. These he for warded with a full report of the oc- currence to the post office inspectors office at Denver.
 Then matters began to move swiftly. The inspector at Alberquer- que was notified and went at once to Graham Here he found the facts as stated to be correct but all traces of Fordham had been lost from the day he headed for the mountains But he was known to have a sweetheart in Graham. who was the sister of a noted outlaw named Williams. said to be in Arizona, and it was thought that Fordham would endeavor to communi- cate with her sooner or later. The post office sleuths laid their plans ac- cordingly and all mail directed to this girl was carefully examined and the post mark duly noted, also all letters she sent, A number of missives were received by her from Payson, Ariz, and she sent letters to the same point addressed to C. w Williams. Now, this man was her outlaw brother, and as it was supposed that she was not on the best of terms with him 1t seemed that some unexpected contin- gency must have arisen to account for her heavy correspondence in this di, rection.
 Finally a large letter addressed to Williams made it's appearance, the en, velope of unusually thin paper. On examining it carefully it was found that there was smaller envelope within and on holding it to a strong light the name Wylie Fordham could be deciphered. Judging from this and other evidence it became clear that Fordham was receiving mail some where in or about Payson and a war rant for his arrest was placed in my hands for service.

lowest rung, drew it softly upward. It was hard strain on his muscles, but he was equal to the occasion and in a few moments a 30-foot ladder lay at his feet on the ground. But before a third of it's length had travelled up the shaft those below had noticed the strange disappearance and a volley of hoarse exclamations rang musically upon Eustis' ears. He bent over the pits edge and hailed them cheer fully.
 Below there" he yelled. It's only me, Sam Eustis. The rest of the Pe- dros are about through supper now. I'm going back for them with the new wagon, and when we get to Greenocks I'll say you fellows had another en- gagement and couldn't come. Hope you have good time"
 A chorus of angry oaths greeted this announcement and Eustis, grinning happily, climbed upon the wagon and drove back to camp. It was about five o'clock the following morning when the Pedros, returning in con vivial mood from the Greenock festi val, proceeded to the old shaft and re- leased the prisoners. Being generous conquerors they refrained from ex ulting openly over the defeated ones, which, in the interests of peace, was perhaps fortunate. With the exception of Wylie Fordham, the members of the Poker club accepted the situation good humoredly, after the first sting of their downfall had worn off. But Ford ham appeared to view the entire pro- ceeding as a fresh insult, especially contrived by Eustis, and his sulkiness manifested itself in such a disagree able way that a few days later the

that l went down and out quickly, for I suppose if I had stirred again he would have finished me with an other shot. Being alone. he certainly had a fine chance at me"
 He did" I agreed. and it might have been lot worse. Sam. l don't suppose Fordham will be in a hurry to visit this section in hurry again. If he does he'll be tempting fate and not likely to escape so easily" On leaving Eustis I could not help wishing that Fordham would be rash enough to venture back to the scene of his attempted crime and give the law a chance to get him. It made my blood boil to think of this mongrel Greaser sneaking from ambush upon a defenseless victim and shooting him with as little compunction as one might a jack-rabbt. That Fordham was the would-be assassin I felt abso- lutely certain although luck had ia vored him to such an extent that there was no certain evidence against him. Officially, of course. I had nothing to do with the d1alr as FOrunaln udu not offended the federal authorities in any way and it was up to the sheriff to solve the mystery. But an opportunity to take the trail in an official capacity was to be granted me in strange and totally unexpected fashion.
 Nearly five months later Wylie Fordham turned up in the town of Graham in the southwestern part of New Mexico.
 It was a needless action due to Fordham's ugly temper and ignorance of the federal laws that gave the clue to his whereabouts and left him liable to the far-rcaching effects of Uncle Sam's wrath. After recovering from drunken spree he became involved in a dispute with a local merchant to whom he owed a bill. His creditor, wno was a fearless fellow and not afraid of either FOrdham's black looks or his gun. told him he was worth less scoundrel who was fit for nothing except to swallow cheap whisky, and

T was while acting as United States marshal at Tucson. Ariz., that I
 first met Mir. Wylie Fordham. I did not make his acquaintance officially at that time and our meeting was short and uneventful, brought about as it was by a mutual friend and lasting for only a few moments. Fordham had dropped into town with one of the boys from the Great Gait mine,
