The visitor is Sackett, head of the

&a&2SS5 sting Not until the event,
until Benton county, his own neigh
bors, had repudiated him could he
measure the hurt There was one thing
which he would do-deep down within
him was the unworded resolve that it
should be his valedctory.
'There's something" he told Haig, a
week after the primaries, that has
been haunting me-"
And he told the other what Sheehan
had said concerning the bank.
"Well, what business is it of yours?
You aren't the guardian of the public
morals. Even if you want to be, the
people have just clearly declared that
they don't. Keep out of what isn't
Jour affairs"
But I'm still district attorney"
"All right. If anything happens or
any one makes official information be-
fore the end of your term. prosecute"
"But understand my duty to include
uncovering crime as well as prosecut-
ing what others expose. I'll ask Blake
to let me go over the books"

fully, "if nothing is wrong. Especially
when he understands that, if he
doesn't, I'll subpoena him with the
books before the grand jury. If there's
nothing wrong. there will be no crash.
But have friends who have money
political bank history is repeating itself
they and the public have the right to
know it,"
"John," Haig argued earnestly, don't
you do it. Haven't you had enough?
What's the use of making more trou-
BILE and enemies for yourself?"
81 know" John said patiently. "I've
gone over all that This is my last
crusade. But it goes through. Be
