LINDBERGH's RESOLUTION

There has been good deal of COM
ment on Congressman Lindbergh IS
resolution in anticipation of 1egis
lation on banking and currency
especially as the congressman IS
resolution does not favor bank
ers or any Of their connections
serving on the committee. The resolu-
tion harks back to earlier days for
argument and is very interesting.
The resolution reads:
Whereas there is general need Of
legislation on banking and currency,
and also a general understanding that
such legislation is to be enacted soon,
possibly at this extra session Of con-
gress, but that Notwithstanding that
fact no committee on banking and
currency has been selected by the
house; and
4 Whereas this proposed legislation on
banking and currency is of great i'm.
portance- exceeding in Importance
that of tariff or any other legislation
contemplated by this congress and
therefore should receive the most care.
full and impartial consideration, especi-
ally having in view the following
facts:

has allowed the bankers to control
financial legislation. The membership

seemed favorable-it was narrow and

carry that distance, even through the
crisp atmosphere. There were two
things the Sergeant had determined
to accomplish If possible-the rescue
Of Miss Molly uninjdred, and the cap
ture of LIE Fevre. No matter how
deeply he despised the man he could
not afford to have him killed. So far
as the Indians were concerned there
would be no mercy shown, for If
either one escaped he would carry
the news to the village. With all this

Carroll, supporting himself by the
table. crept across to the door and
watched them, reckless as to the en-
tering cold. The glare Of the white
snow revealed clearly the outlines of
the disappearing horsemen, as they
rode cautiously down the bank. The
thin fringe of shore Ice broke under
the weight of the ponies hoofs, as the
riders forced them forward into the
icy water. A moment later the two

shivering into his blankets.

blood course through his veins. See.
on the incline of that third ridge.
There is a shadow there, and they are
not moving. Here; draw In back Of
me; now you can see. 1t looks as
though they had horse down."
Hughes stared long in the direction
indicated. his eyes narrowed into mere
Sits.
"Ahi that's It," he said at last
Horse broke leg; shot it jest then

How many people do you make

At that distance the fugitives looked
like mere black dots. 1t could scarce
ly be determined that they moved,
and yet their outlines we're distinct
against the background of white snow,
while the two watchers possessed the
trained vision Of the plains. Hughes
answered after a deliberate inspec-
ton, without so much as turning his
head.
"Thar's four; leastwise thar was

Hamlin's eyes followed the long
sweep of the cross-ridge. studying its
trend, and the direction of the inter-
vening valleys. Once down on the
other slope all this extensive view
would be hidden; they would have to
ride blindly, guessing at the particular
swale along which those others were
advancing. To come to the summit
again would surely expose them to
those keen Indian eyes. They would
be searching the trail ahead ceaseless-
ly, noting every object along the
crests Of the ridges. However, If the
passage around was not blocked with
snow, they ought to attain the junction
in ample time. With twice as far
to travel, their ponies were strong and
fit and should win out against LIE
Fevre's starved beasts. He waved his
gloved hand
We'll try It," he said, shortly;
come on. Hughes"
He led off along the steep side of
the hill, and forcing his horse into a
sharp trot, headed straight out into
the white wilderness; Hughes, with
out uttering a word, brought down his
quirt on his pony's flank and fol-
lowed.
