London. - The government crisis
found solution Tuesday night, which,
up to the hour of its announcement,
was considered the least probable of
practical alternatives. Herbert Il. AS.
quith resigned the premiership, which
he has held through eight stormy
years of domestic and foreign history.
The Unionist leader, Andrew BonaI
Law, was summoned to the palace i'm
mcdiately after MIR. Asquith had de.
parted and the King offered him the
prime minister's commission, which
he had just accepted from Mr. AS.
quith's hands.
No announcement regarding Mr..
Bonar Laws decision has been made
and there are some doubts whether he
will accept the heavy responsibility.
If he declines, it is considered certain
that the honor will fall to David
Lloyd G Gorge
The continuation OF the coalition
cabinet, with some changes in its
membership and the speeding up OF
the war management will be the pol.
icy in either event.
The premier's decision to resign and
advise the King to summon Andrew

 The report of rife came down from the butte crest. The young man low cred his rifle and peered over the edge of the gulley. At the same moment whirl of yelling horsemen swept down the coulee bank opposite the butte, and went flying away up the val ley in a wild race for the nearest grove of cottonwoods.
 From the butte several shots cracked in rapid succession. The fugitive h. dians yelled at their ponies in frenzy of urgency, and dug their heels into the Hanks of the straining beasts at every jump. The rifleman on the butte was firing towards them, not towards the party in the gulley.
 Hold on, Marie!" said her father, jumping down the bank to her. Well hitch up again, and cross over to meet him"
 "Who?" asked the girl.
 She had been too intent on her task to see what was happening.
 "The man who ran away" he an- swered. "The jokes on you MT. Van."

 Her father grinned as he bent to re fasten a tug. "You took him for quit ter. He had the nerve to run their fire ag'in-and you thought he was heading back for the railroad"
 The girl flushed. He's not the man on the butter"

 Within a few minutes the party had neared the top of the ridge. The thoroughbred mare came trotting up from the hollow on the other side. At sight of them her rider brought her to a stand. The older man spurred his pony up the round of the summit. By Gar, that wasn't no bad play you made, partner" he called. 'Taking the butte gave you the drop on 'em."
 The man whose strategy had routed the Indians did not reply. The girl looked up at him with confident ex- pectancy in her sparkling eyes. He did not move. The expression of his harsh features was severe, but there was a flush under the tropical tan on his cheeks.
 She hesitated, her rich color deepen ing. Then her pique gave way to a more generous impulse. She drew the gauntlet glove from her right hand. Under his cold gaze her eyes again hardened with offended pride, and again they softened and glowed with frank appreciation.
 "Can you forgive mer' she asked. He bowed formally. elf you think there is anything to be forgiven" u"You know there is. wish to apolo- yize."
 She stood up in the blackboard and held out her hand to him. It was very white and shapely. He bowed over 1t l with grave courtesy, as he took it in his nervous clasp.
 "You have no need to apologize, Miss -"
 "Dupont-Marie Dupont" "None whatever, Miss Dupont" he kwent on. ''I should have explained my intentions"
 s"Why didn't you make for the butte first thing, instead of crossing the cou- 'ee?" broke in the blond young man.
 'I did not wish to shoot until un- lerstood the cause of the trouble. There was also the chance that they would cease firing when rode towards them .'
 "That was nervy of you," remarked the girls father-"that and making

 The scarlet that famed in the girls cheeks deepened to crimson. Her gaze wavered. Instead of striking Hardy, the whip lashed down across the backs of the team. The young broncos| plunged and jumped forward; they| away from the river.
 The girls companions jerked their| ponies about to gallop after her. Hardy spoke to them in peremptory com mand: ''Wait! Dupont, I shall ask| you to bring my baggage from the rail- road. Here come the police. I shall detail four of their number to go with| you as escort"

 "They will go in place of MT. van-| dervyn," explained Hardy. q must| ask him to accompany me to the| agency"
 The young man looked the new agent up and down with an insolent smile on| his handsome, boyish face. "What if 1 do not choose to go back?"
 "It would put me to the necessity of| finding new chief clerk" countered| Hardy.
 The other evidently had expected an| arbitrary order. He bit his lip. It was| plain that he was puzzled over the| adroitly worded reply. Was it a threat or merely a statement due to misap7 prehension?
 'cf you wish to resign" added the| captain, "may I request you to tele1I graph for your successor to be imme1| diately appointed and ordered hereT
 'Td resign quick enough if could, T said Vandervyn. You're the last man I'd let order me around if I could helrI it."

 Recklessly he sat up and looked at her, his small mouth curving in smile under the neat mustache. A bullet whizzed close over his head. There They've spotted your position. Come away" Her voice Quavered with con- cern for him.
 The girl did not wait for him to reach her. Satisfied as to his safety, she went up the gulley to the blackboard and drew a canteen from the box under the seat. Her father glanced down and saw what she was doing. His face was powdered with dust. He spat and beckoned to her.
 'Good! Bring it up. Bullet hit the edge of the bank" The girl climbed nimbly up the gull ley side with the canteen. Her father spat again, took a deep drink, and said |: Better git the ponies round behind the blackboard. Unless Charlie gifts back soon, we may have to leave the ore and make break for the agency"
 "An right, Pere," cheerfully respond ed the girl. 'There haven't any of them been hit so far, guess. They may be willing to let us off with a big scare"
 "T'n give them scare and something more when the police come" declared the young man, who had taken a new position in the opening of the gulley.
 'No, you won't" remonstrated the girl as she started down to him with the canteen. "When old T-owa-konza sent in word that he'd call it quits over the shooting of Nogen's killer, he meant it. But this time you fired the first shot, and if you kill one of them, it will mean a blood feud, if not an uprising" :"
 The young man snapped his fingers. q don't give that much for the whole pack of coyotes!"
 Don't forget the mine, Mir. van," protested the older man.
 "Yes, and how about mel" asked the girl as she held out the canteen.
 ''That settles it," he replied. 'To please you, Tll-what do you say1 I'll call it quits" Shaking gush of water out over the spout, he lifted the canteen in gallant salute and carried 1t to his lips.
 Better hurry with them ponies, Ma rie," called her father.
 She did not wait for the, canteen, but walked swiftly up the gulley to the restfve ponies. As she led the two saddle horses around to the rear of the blackboard, the young man called up to her: Shorten my stirrups. That pinto is the best runner in the bunch"
