An Imitation of "catchinq Up."
From the Chicago Herald.

The democratic majority of the House
naval committee has approved what looks
!lKe a comprehensive as we'll as expensive
building program to be begun during the
coming. fiscal year. 1t appears to call for
the ultimate expenditure on new ships Of
about $l6o, 10000. 1t is. however. consid-
erably short of what the navy general
board declares is necessary to bring our
navy back to the relative rank it held
when a democratic House was elected in
1910.
Then began the process of cutting down
the navy under Which it has dropped from
second place to third and probably to
fourth. Even last year. seven months af-
Ter the European war began. the party in
power refused to authorize the aying
down of more than two new battleships.
None OF the vessels authorized since MIR.
Wilson took office will be ready for sea
when this administrator ends on March
4 next.
In order to bring our navy back to Sec
ond place the general board urged the con-
struction within the next three years OF
two battleships and six battle cruisers, six
scout cruisers. % destroyers. 35 submarines
and 25,G0 men. The democratic proposal

warranted to term the majority proposals

Yes, till / run out of money and have

Mrs. BANDS face underwent one of
the singular changes. The smiles and
flushes and glances,. all that had been
coquettish about her, had lent her a
certain attractiveness, almost beauty
and youth. But with some powerful
emotion she changed and instantly be-
came a woman of discomfort, Duane
imagined. of deep. violent nature.

wilson that amounted almost to hor-
! ror. Was his being there not an uGly
dream? What had he in common with
such r%uffians? Then in a flash of MEM
, DRY came the painful proof-he was a
criminal in sight of Texas law; he, too,
was an Qutcast.
For the momen Duane was wrapped
up in painful reflections; but Euchre's
heavy hand, clapping with a warning
hold on his arm, brought him back to
outside things.
The hum of voices, the clink of coin,
the loud laughter had ceased. There
was a silence that manifestly had fol-
lowed some unusual word or action
sufficient to still the room. 1t was
broken by a harsh curse and the scrape
of Il bench on the door. Some man
had risen.
You stacked the cards, you -"
Say that twice." another voice re-
piled, so different in it's cool, ominous
tone from the other.
'Ill say it twice" returned the first
gamester. in hot haste. "Ill say it three
times. III whistle it. Are you deaf?
You light-fingered gent! You stacked
the cards."
Silence ensued. deeper than before,
pregnant with meaning. For all that
Duane saw, not an outlaw moved for
a full moment. Then suddenly the room
was full of disorder as men rose and
ran and Owed everywhere.
Run or duck!" yelled Euchre, close
to Duane's ear. With that he dashed
for the door. Duane leaped after him.
They ran into a jostling mob. Heavy
gun shots and hoarse yells hurried the
crowd Duane was with pell nell out
into the darkness. There they all halted,
and several peeped in at the door.

There's the Kid hollerin' now. He amt

AT this j%uncture most of the outlaws
began to file BAG into the room.
Duane thought he had seen and heard
enough In Benson's den for one night
and he started slowly down the walk.
Presently Eucllre caught up with him.

CHAPTER vi.

Next morning Duane found that q
moody and respondent spell had fast
ened on him. Wishing to be alone, he
went out and walked a trail leading
round the river bluff. He thought and
thought. After a while he made out
that the trouble with him probably was
that he could not resign himself to his
fate. He ubhorred the possibility
chance seemed to hold in store for him.
He could not believe there was no hope.
Blu what to 10 appeared beyond his
power to tell.
Duane had intelligence and keenness
enough to see his peril-the danger
threatening his character as a man,
just as much as that which threatened
covered. for what he considered honor
and integrity than he did for life. He
saw that 1T was bad for him to be
alone. But, it appeared. lonely months
and perhaps years inevitably must be
his. Another thing puzzled him. In
the bright light OF day he could not re-
call the state of mind that was his at
twilight or dusk or in the dark night.
BY day these visitations became to him
what they really were-phantoms Of
his conscience. He could dismiss the
thought of them then. He could scarce
ly remember or believe that this
strange feat of fancy or imagination
had troubled him. panied him. made
him sleepless and sick.
That morning Duane spent an I'M
happy hour wrestling decision out of
the unstable condition of his mind. But
at length he determined to create in
terest in all that he came across and
SO forget himself as much as possible.
He had an opportunity now to see just
the outlaws life really was. He
meant to force himself to be curious,
sympathetic, clear sighted. And he
would stay there in the valley until its
possibilities had been exhausted or un-
til circumstances sent him out upon his
uncertain way.
When he returned to the shack
Euchre was cooking dinner.
Say, Buck. Ive Jews for you." he
said; and his tone conveyed either
pride in his possessi9n Of such news or

Duane.
