Within two weeks he became Ces-
perate. He rode the gap trail from
Sleepy Cat again and again for miles
and miles in the effort to encounter
her. He came to know every ridge
and hollow on ST, every patch aud
stone between the lava beds and the
Rat river. And in spite of the coun-
sells of his associates, who warned him
70 beware of traps, he spent, under
one pretext or another, much of the
time either on the stages to and from
Calabasas or in the saddle toward Nor
gan's gap, looking for Nan.
Killing time in this way, after a
fruitless ride, his persistence was one
day most unexpectedly rewarded. He
had ridden through a hot sun from
Sleepy Cat to Calabasas, where he had
an appointment to meet Scott and Lee

reached the Calabasas barn, McAlpin,
the barn boss, was standing in the

commented McAlpin as he called n
man to take the horse. unstrapped De
SPANS coat from the saddle, and fol
lowed the manager into the office.
The heat was oppressive, and De
Spain unbuckled his cartridge belt,
slipped his revolver from the holster,
mechanically stuck 1t inside his trou-
sers waistband, hung the heavy belt
up under his coat, and, sitting down,
called for the stage report and asked
whether the new blacksmith had so
bered up. When McAlpin had given
him all minor information called for,
De Spain walked with him out into the
barn to inspect the horses. Passing
the very last of the bOx-stallS, the
manager saw in it pony. He stopped.
This wiry, sleek-l0oking roam, con-
tentedly munching at the moment some
company hay, was Nan Morgan's.

manded De Spain coldly.
Before answering, the barn boss
eyed De Spain very carefully TO see
how the wind was setting. for the
pony's presence confessed an infrac-
ton of very particular rule. "You

boss from below his visorless cap q

The Glass Button.

Even as the big fellow stepped light
ly just inside and to the left--as De
Spain stOod--of the door and faced
him, the encounter seemed to De Spain
accidental. But before he could speak,
second man appeared In the door

ing with II third, behind him. AS the
second mau crossed the threshold, De
Spain saw Sandusky's high-vOiced
little fighting crony. Logan, who now
made way. as he stepped within to the
/ right of the open door, for the swing
ing shoulders and rolling stride of
Gale Morgan.
Morgan, eying De Spain with Inso-
lence, as was his wont, closed the door
behind him with a bang. Then he
backed his powerful frame significant
ly against 1t.
A blind man could have seen the
completeness of the snare. An unpleas-
ant feeling flashed across DE Spains
perception. 1t was only for the inn
measurable part of n secOnd-while
uncertainty was resolving itself into a
rapid certainty. When Guile Morgan
stepped into the room on the heels
of his two Calabasas friends. De Spain

He did not retreat from where he

His one slender chance was to hug to
the men that meant to kill him. Nor

dangerous Of the three; but to think
to escape both Sandusky aud Logan
at close quarters was, he knew, more
than ought to be hoped for.
While Morgan was closing the door,
De Spain smiled at his visitors "That
isn't necessary. Morgan-rm not ready

1t takes the two extremes of a
positive and negative to turn on the
light that makes people fully realize
to what direct opposites the views of
some statesmen of this country reach
in their attitude on great affairs of
moment to the nation while represent
ing their constituents. In the past
week Congressman Gardner, of Mass.
achusetts, resigned his seat to enter
the military service of his country.
For a number of years he has been one
Of the Administrations champions of
preparedness, and now that the coun-
try is at war he has the courage of
his convictions. There are senators
and members Of congress-, without
mentioning n names, who have been
of no earthly use in representing the
people. But it is feared they would
prove to be just as miserable a failure
as soldiers in the service of their
country. The United States has no
need of the services of such men as
Senators Gronna, LaFollette and
others who blocked work attempted by
the administration, either in the sen.
ate of the United States or in the
military service of the country.
