hind the first who broke from the
hotel to the open, nor yet appreciably
behind him in vaulting to saddle.
Well up the road cloud of smoky
dust half obscured the shapes of three
who rode for their very lives.
The pursuit was off in twinkling
and well bunched-Marrophat's mount
leading by nose, Judith second, Hopi
Jim and Texas but little In the rear.
And in the first rush they seemed to
gain; moment by moment they drew
up on the flying cloud of dust.
Judith heard an oath muttered be-
side her and saw Marrophat jerking a
revolver from it's holster. The weapon
swept up and to a level; but as the
hammer fell, Judith's horse caromed
heavily against the other, swinging it
half dozen feet aside, and DETECTING
the bullet hopelessly.
The shock of collision was SO great
that Marrophat kept his seat with diff
ficulty. He turned toward Judith a
face liyid with rage.
simultaneously. as if taking the shot
as the signal for a fusillade, Judith
saw Alan lean back over his horses
rump and open fire.
An instant later his companion, Bar
Gus. initiated his example.
In immediate consequence, Texas
dropped reins. slumped forward over
the pommel. wabbled weakly in his
saddle for a moment, then losing the
stirrups, pitched headlong to the
ground; while Hopi Jim's horse
stopped short, precipitating his rider
overhead, and dropped dead.

In the ten minutes delay neceesi-

Several weeks ago the Mayor bought

FIRE ALARM AND
BUDGET PACT
IS NEAR
Settlement for $4,000 for Sys-
tenn and Agreement to Pass
Appropriations Reached.

Settlement of the 100000 contract
with the Okonite Company, of New
York, for Atlantas new fire alarm
system for practically $4,000 and a
general agreement among Council
men to pass the new budget as pre-
pared by the Finance Committee,
seemed imminent Friday, following
conferences of a number of city Of
ficials
The negotiations have been strictly
private, but it is learned on good au-
thority that a peaceful conclusion of
various controversies over financial
policies is near at hand.
Alderman John S. Gambler who at
tackled the $4,000 item in the bud
get, held aconference with Mayor
woodward at whose behest the money
was put in the sheet. He came out
of that conference smiling and Mayor
Woodward also seemed pleased
Near Agreement on Company.
Subsequent conferences between
Mayor Woodward and Judge Spencer
Atkinson, attorney for the Okonite
Company, and Alderman Gambler
Judge Atkinson and Mr.. Underhill
the sales representative of the Oko-
mite Company, seemed Friday to have
| about resulted in an agreement.
1t is reported that Judge Atkin-
son has advised his client to accept
$500 plus the attorneys fees anC
! that Mr.. Underhill is about to agree

! ficials.
The settlement is understood to be
While Their has been general criti-
| cism of the budget because it die
not provide sufficient money, the only
| feature in it that has ben pointed out
as fallible was the $S5,000 fire alarm
| item. 1t was conceded by most OF
the members of Council that the FL
nance Committee had done about as
well as could be expected with the
remainder of the budget.
Should the various contenders
agree on the fire alarm item the inn
mediate passage of the budget as
published would be assured.
Would Be Victory for Mayor.
1t would be a distinct victory fol
Mayor Woodward and Chairman w
G. Humphrey, of the Finance Com
mittee, who were its principal au-
| thors. Alderman Gambler and the
others who threatened to caucus in
| opposition, would be satisfied on the
grounds that the trade would be a
splendid one for the city
The original fire alarm contract for
| 100000 provided that the city should
lease it at $4,000 a year and that the
yearly $4,000 should apply on the pur-
| chase price. When the Supreme
| Court rendered it's decision on the
crematory Mayor Woodward took the
position that it was equally applica-
BILE to the alarm contract.
| The fire alarm system was COM
pleted. practically but the Mayor
took the position that since a cash
price was the only possible basis OF
settlement the city should not pay
more than $1,000 for it,
Friday it looked as though he would
win his contention. The principa
opposition to the $4,000 item was
based on the statement of represen-
tatives of the Okonite Company that
they would not consider an offer OF
$S5 900. Alderman Gambler and others
took the position that if it would not
be accepted, it would be foolish to
appropriate it when it was SO badly
needed for other purposes.
