cussed the news. Even Lefever seemed
more serious when he heard the re-
port. Scott, when asked where San
dusky now was, nodded toward the
big room in front of them.
| Lefever looked toward the gambling
tables. We'll go in and look at him."
He turned to Scott to invite his COM
ment on the proposal. Think twice,
John" suggested the Indian. eff
there's any trouble in crowd like
that, somebody that has no interest
in De Spain or Sandusky is pretty sure
to get hurt"
Il don't mean to start anything" ex-
planned Lefever. II only want De
Spain to look at him."
But sometimes things start them
selves. Lefever found Sandusky at a
faro table. At his side sat his partner.
Logan. Three other players, together
with the onlookers, and the DEALER
whose tumbled hair fell partly over the
visor that protected his eyes from the
glare OF the overhead light-made up
the group. The table stood next to
that where Tension, white-faced and
impassive under the heat and light,
held the chair.
Lefever took position at one end
OF the table, where he faced Sandusky,
and De Spain, just behind his Shout
der, had chance to look the two
Calabasas men closely over. Sandusky
again impressed him as powerful
man, who, beyond an ample stomach,
carried his weight without showing it.
De Spain credited readily the ex-
traordinary stories he had heard of
Sandusky's dexterity with revolver
or rifle. That he should so lately
have missed a shot at so close range
was partly explained now that De
Spain perceived Sandusky's small,
hard, brown eyes were somewhat I'M
naturally bright, and that his brows
knit every little while in his effort to
collect himself. Sandusky's brown shirt
sprawled open at the collar, and De
Spain remembered again the flashy
waistcoat, fastened at the last button
hole by a cut-glass button.
AT Sandusky's side sat his crony in
all important undertakings-a much
smaller, sparer man, with aggressive
shoulders and restless eyes. Logan
was the lookout of the pair, and his
rowing glance lighted on De Spain be-
fore the latter had inspected him
more than moment. He lost no time
in beginning on De Spain with an in
solent question as to what he was
looking at. De Spain, his eye bent
steadily on him, answered with a tone
neither of apology nor pronounced of.
Tense: II am looking at you"
Lefever hitched at his trousers cheer
lily and, stepping away from De Spain,
took n position just behind the dealer. |
What are you looking at me for?"
demanded Logan insolently.
De Spain raised his voice to match
exactly the tone of the inquiry. $50

Ing his hand go back as he whirled and
shot instantly toward the heavy re-
port. He had whipped out his gun
and fired sidewise through the window
at the sound.
That was all. The bartenders
breathed and looked again. Men were
crowding like mad through the back
doors. De Spain, at the cigar case,
looking intently into the rainy street,
lighted from the corner by dingy
lamp. The four men near him had not
stirred, but, startled and alert, the
right hand of each covered the butt of
a revolver. De Spain moved first.
While the pool players damned the
back doors to escape, he spoke to,
without looking at, the bartender.

Those close enough to the window
saw that the bare pane had been cut,
just above the middle, by two bullet
holes. Curious men examined both
fractures when De Spain and Lefever
had left the saloon. The first hole was
the larger. 1t had been made by a
high-powered rifle; the second was
from bullet of Il Colts revolver; 1t
was remarked as Il miracle of gun-play
that the two were hardly an inch apart.
In the street few minutes later, De

water dripping from the brim of his
seasoned derby, gave it in one word.

smile.

"Supposing he might be in town yet,
Bob, where is he?"
Scott gazed up the street through the
rain lighted by yellow lamps on the
obscure corners, and looked down the

Umbrella Hides

some recruits for his regiment, which
is known as the Rough Riders Of the

and generously agreed to meet them.
The Steger institution has so eff
GENTLY arranged it's delivery service
that the necessity of overtime work
on the part of the piano movers en-
ployed by that prominent house will
be completely eliminated in the fu-
ture.
Some Of the piano men are of the
impression that the piano movers are
solely interested in securing better
pay. This is not true. If the vari-
Gus piano companies will employ eff
ficient methods in regard to making
deliveries there will be no need OF
overtime work. Consequently, the
large amount of money that is now
paid to the movers for overtime work
will not be necessary.
1t is not the intention of the piano
movers committee to attempt to die
tates to the piano manufacturers or
merchants how they should conduct
their various organizations. In the
past various suggestions have been
offered to the piano manufacturers
by the piano movers, which actually
represented a great saving in money
from the standpoint Of arranging de-
liveries, but the manufacturers re-
sented the suggestions and, conse-
quently, the piano movers are not
disposed to go out of their way in the
future to offer any self-eVident plans
for lettering the service.
In the past it has been the policy
in various piano houses to let the
question of deliveries take care. of it
self. As a result, it has been neces-
sary to deliver a large number of pia-
nos after the regular working hours.
This has involved considerable ex-
pense on the part Of the piano
houses.

PIANO MOVERS DEMAND

PIANO MOVERS DEMAND THE
. 6-H0UR DAY-The Piano Moving
Transfers union, Local 1913, of Chi
cago desires to make clear to the
public the reasons which have led to
the present lockout. 1t is not .gener-
ally known that the piano movers
have been forced to work overtime
day after day because of the failure
OF piano manufacturers and mer-
chants to correct unbusiness-Iike
conditions in their delivery depart
ments.
The basis of the demands of the
piano movers is their belief in the
necessity Of establishing an 8-hour
day, so that the welfare of their fam
lies and themselves will be assured.
The committee from the Piano
Moving Transfers union visited the
various piano houses and stores and
were not extended any consideration
in the way of an interview at anv
place, except the Office of Steger &
Sons Piano Mfg. Co. c. G.. Steger
and Geo. F. Steger readily recognized
the justice Of the demands present
ed by the piano movers committee
