CHAPTER xll-Contlnued.

Duane has Just escaped into the un.
derbrush from a posse intent on lynch
Ing him.
The Rio Grande and It's tributaries
for the most of their length In Texas
ran between wide, low, fiat lands COW
cred by a dense growth of willow.
Cottonwood, mesquite, prickly pear,
and other growths mingled with the
willow, and altogether they made a
matted, tangled copse. thicket that
an inexperienced man would have
considered impenetrable.
The depths Of this brake Duane had
penetrated was silent, dreamy,
strange place. In the middle Of the
day the light was weird and dim.
When a breeze fluttered the foliage,
then slender shafts and spears Of sum
shine pierced the green mantle and
danced like gold on the ground.
Duane had always felt the strange
ness Of this kind Of place, and like
wise he had felt a protecting, harbor-
ing something which always seemed to
him to be the sympathy of the brake
for a hunted creature. Any unwound-
ed creature, strong and resourceful,
was safe when he had glided under
the low. rustqng green roof Of this
wild covert.
Duane wanted to cross the river

the brake, work his way upstream till
he had reached country more hospit-

Finally after a toilsome penetration
of still denser brush he broke through
to the bank OF the river.
He faced wide, shallow, muddy
stream with brakes on the opposite
bank extending like green and yellow

wall. Duane perceived at a glance
the futillty of his trying to cross ut
this point. Everywhere the sluggish
water laved quicksand bars. Before
leaving the bank he tied his hat upon
q pole ard lifted enough water to
quench his thirst. Then he worked
his way back to where thinner growth
made advancement easier, and kept on
upstream till the shadows were so
deep he could not see. Feeling around
for place big enough to stretch out
on, he lay down. For the time being
he was as safe there as he would have
been beyond in the Rim Rock. He was
tired. though not exhausted, and In

Sloan Points Out
) Unsoundness Of
Democratic Tariff

York, Neb., Oct. 21.-(Special.)-
Congressman Sloan addressed good
sized audience at the courthouse
Thursday evening. After relating
some of his own activities he dis
cussed the tariff, with special refer
ence to the farmers of Nebraska. r He
said in part: l..
On recent legislation, the party in
power, has admitted the unseundness
of its tariff-for revenue only policy
in the following particulars: p. 80,
4. Increasing the protective tariff
on dyestuffs.i
q. Reimposing the protective tariff
on sugar. This, however, had pres
sure from the south.
-. Establishing a tariff commission
in the place of the republican tariff
commission, which they had killed.
q. The so-called anti-dumping
clause, which proposes to punish inn
porters who send goods into this
country so cheap as to break our
market. The tariff remedy in that
particular is doubling the rate Of
duty. This would make practically
aisrohibitive duty upon tobacco, rice
peanuts and Angora goat hair, but on
corn, wheat, eggs, cattle, meat and
other northwestern products, being
1on the free list, doubling the duty
nor doubling nothing, would not be

devoted primarily to a discussion Of
the need for economic preparedness

gentlemen say they would have taken
some other way that would inevitably
have resulted in war, but ! am not ex-
pecting this country OF get into war
partly because | am not expecting
these gentlemen to have chance to
make mess of it."

"The Nebraska Wilson Independent
league" is having hard~sledding, ac-
cording to reports received yesterday.
Ostensibly the purpose of the promot-
ers is to make it appear there are in
this state class of voters not hitherto
aligned with democracy, but who are
now inclined TO the Wilson standard.
A special effort is being made TO get
in few progressives and thus lend

Of this state are not lined up solidly
for Hughes. The backbone OF this
new Nebraska Wilson Independent
league is made up OF regular demo-
Gratis to give the organization some

identified with the league, for the
simple reason that they are members
