the portals of the rule-ridden leg
islative halls to tell a few simple
facts about the measure under
consideration!
Speaker Kelly did that, just be-
cause the majority of the house
in it's ehild-like simplicity wanted
it, and because the speaker some
how had been infused with the
idea that majority should rule.
Invites Conger Up.
So, while old line politicians
were gasping for breath, plain or
binary Mr.. George d. Conger, SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league, authority on the bone dry
bill. was being invited by the
speaker to take seat beside him
where he might answer questionsl
Worse yet. Mr.. Conger hap
pened to be sitting in the gallery,
and he actually called down from
where he sat that he would be
pleased to decline the invitation
but would suggest that Attorney
George Gleason, who helped draft
the bill, be called in his stead!
Did Not Appeal.
"Mr. Speaker, l rise to point
of order-rule 81 says" spoke
up half a dozen of the politicians,
jumping up all at once.
They didn't get any further, for
Kelly halted them with:
1.-THE speaker has ruled that a
majority of this house can invite
anyone it wants to to come be-
fore it and do anything the house
wants him to do. You may APP
peal from the decision of the
speaker If you care to-"
Now it takes two-thirds vote
to override the decision of the
chair, and the booze politicians
didn't have two-thirds, or any
other sort of majority.
Horrible Prospect.
There was a dull silence while
the speaker waited for an appeal
None was forthcoming. Then:
THE sergeant-at-arms will no.
tify Mr.. Gleason that the house
has invited him to the floor"
Gleason came and cleared up q
number of points to the satisfac-
tion of the majority.
What in the world can have
happened to this legislature?
Think of it, the politicians are
complaining.
A little more of this stuff and
there is a bare chance that the
legislature might yet become pop
ular.

OLYMPIA, Feb. Some of
the old line politicians who are
here on the outside looking in,
and few more who are on the in
side looking out, are raising a pro-
longed howl.
They are still rising up in hor-
ror at the ruling made by Speak
er Guy f.. Kelly in the house dur
ing the bone dry bill fight few
days ago.
1.-THE speaker rules that a ma
jority of this house can do any
thing 1t wants to-" said Speaker
Kelly. Awful!
Horrors! Oh, Horrers!
Kelly made the ruling in the
midst of filibustering efforts to
impede consideration of the Hal
sey bill.
In an attempt to prevent the
house getting at just what the
proposed law intended, that old
bugaboo, "the rules" was raised.
Horrors! The idea of letting
some ordinary citizen, or even a
high priced lawyer employed by
the legislature to pass bills, enter

fellers are always THROWN, II into
me about the way Mormons marry
off their gals-did yore aunt make
some trade with her folks?"
"Who - Christabel?" gasped
Bowles, now breaking into a sweat.
"Why, bless your soul, no! You
don't understand how things are
done in New York. Brig. Nothing

even tell me whom she had in

Just picked up and ran away"
well, I'll be durned!" observed
Brigham, gazing upon him with
wonder. "And we thought you was
tryin' to git Dix"
Samuel Bowles had lived the
protected life. but Brigham had
buffeted his way. At the story of
the Lady Christabel he stood
agape, marveling at the man who
could perceive such subtle adj
vances, wondering at the nature
that would flee for such a cause;
but in the end he gazed upon him
pityingly, and accepted him for his
friend.
"I'll tell you, pardner," he said,
as they drifted their cattle along,
'I'm up against 1t, too. They's a
gal over the river-an' was
kinder fixin' to marry her when

why, what's the matter?" In
quired Bowles, thinking of all the
awful things he had heard about
the Saints, but discreetly holding
his peace. "Will they punish you
for running away"

unteered Brigham. Jerking his
head back toward the place where
they had been camped, and after
that he said no more. The old
Icynical look came into his squint-
ed eyes, and he strung out the cat
tie methodically until they came
to the home ranch. 1t was -four
O'Clock in the afternoon then, and
they lay over until the next day.
The Bat Wing bunk-house was
hardly a CHEEKY Longing place
After cooking up little food Brig
ham had caught up a fresh mount
and ridden off alone. Bowles was
lreading when a horse trotted into
the yard. Presently he heard a
saddle hit the ground, and the pas
ture gate swing to, and then there
was a clank of spurs on the stoop
The door swung open, and as he
glanced up he saw Dixie Lee look
ing at him.
The instincts of a lifetime
prompted Bowles to rise to his feet
and bow, but other instincts were
crowding in on him now. and he
only nodded his head. The mem
DRY, perhaps, of a fake letter to
Samuel Houghton gave color to his
Indifference, and for the first time
in his life he gazed at her with q
shadow of disapproval.
AS for Dixie. she seemed sud
denly embarrassed.
Hello, there, cowboy!" she said
dropping down on the steps.
"Where'd you come FROM"

A smile swept over Dixie Lees
face at this lapse into the vernac-
ular, but she brushed 1t away as he
frowned.

and he answered and fell silent.
