political purposes OF ambitious and
wholly unworthy politicians.
In one or the resolutions offered at
st. Fanl on Wednesday, 1t is declared
that IN the matter of the disp csition
or the Cunningham coal lands, Mr..
Ballinger was not Il faithful trustee
OF the interests or the people, and did
not perform his duty In such a mar
ner as to property protect such Inter-
ests" In Mr.. Tafts address at ST. Paul
on Monday he made this statement:
1T would be, OF course. improper for
me to intimate what the result of the
Issue as to the Cunningham and other
Alaska claims Is likely to be, but It
ought to he distinctly nnicrsf0o1 that
no Private Claims for Alaskn con-
lands have as yet been allowed or per.
fcctctl, and also that, whatever the re-
suit as to the pending claims. the cx-
listing coal land laws of Alaska are
most unsatisfactory and should be
radically amended
1t would appear from this perfectlX
frank and judicial statement that the
resolution adopted by the anti-Enllin-
false and without possible excuse Yet
1T is upon these same Cunningham
claims, none OF which, according to
Mr. Taft, has been allowed or perfect
ed, that the opponents have based their.
most serious charges against Eallin-
ger.
AS we have said. however, the wisest
way to get at the bottom of this Bal
linger business is for Ollie James and
Madison and the rest of the peanut
politicians to prefer charges o. i'm
parchment against the Secretary of
the Interior, SO that the United states
Senate. the trial court would be able
to handle the matter in decent and
orderly way.
The Pinchot people have made all the
political capital they can out of the
case in it's present shape, and while
they arc about It, how would IT do
for the Pinchot crowd to also prefer
of impeachment against the
President for retaining Ballinser as 4
of his Cabinet when Pinchot.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Tramp and the Toothache.


The bitterness toward the dead
president of the Traders bank seemed
to grow with time. Never popular, his
memory was execrated by people who
had lost nothing, but who were filed
with disgust by constantly hearing
new stories of the mans grasping
avarice.
But, like everything else those days,
the bank failure was almost forgotten
by Gertrude and myself. We did not
mention Jack Bailey; had found
nothing to change my impression of
his guilt, and Gertrude knew how 1
felt. As for the murder of the bank
presidents son, I was of two minds
One day thought Gertrude knew or at
least suspected that Jack had done it;
the next I feared that it had been Ger
trude herself, that night alone on the
circular staircase. And then the
mother of Lucien Wallace would OBJ
trude herself, and an almost equally
good case might be made against her.
There were times, of course, when
was disposed to throw all those sus-
picions aside, and fix definitely on the
unknown, whoever that might be.
/ had my greatest disappointment
when it came to tracing Nina Caring
ton. The woman had gone without
leaving a trace. Marked as she was,
it should have been easy to follow her,
but she was not to be found. A de-
scription to one of the detectives, on
my arrival at home, had started the
ball rolling. But by night she had not
been found. 1 told Gertrude, then,
about the telegram to Louise when she
had been ill before; about my visit to
T1- oil
Matte Bliss and Nina Darlington were
the same. She thought, as 1 did, that
there was little doubt of it.
I said nothing to her, however, of
the detectives suspicious about Alex.
Little things that 1 had not noticed at
the time now came back to me. 1 had
an uncomfortable feeling that perhaps
Alex was a spy, and that by taking
him into the house 1 had played into
the enemy's hands. But at eight
o'clock that night Alex himself ap-
peared, and with him strange and re-
pulsiye individual. They made queer
pair, for Alex was almost as disrepu-
table as the tramp, and he had a badly
swollen eye.
Gertrude had been sitting listlessly
waiting for the evening message from
Mr. Jameson, but when the singular
pair came in, as they did, without cere-
mony, she jumped up and stood staring.
Winters, the detective who watched
the house at night, followed them, and
kept his eyes sharply on Alexis pris-
oner. For that was the situation as it
developed.
He was a tall lanky individual,
| ragged and dirty, and just now he
| looked both terrified and embarrassed.
| Alex was too much engrossed to be
| either, and to this day don't think ]
ever asked him why he went off with
| out permission the day before.
Miss Innes,'' Alex began abruptly,
| this man can tell us something very
| important about the disappearance OF
Mr.. lines. 1 found him trying to sell
| this watch"
He took a watch from his pocket
| and put it on the table. 1t was Halsey' s
| watch. I had given it to him on the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1910-10-08
