CHAPTER XIII.
Gordon Buys a Revolver.

Selfridge was not eager to meet his
chief, but he knew he must report at
once. He stopped at his house only
long enough to get into fresh clothes
and from there walked down to the
office.
1t had been the intention of Mac
donald to go direct from Sheba to his
office, but the explosion brought about
by Meteetse had sent him out into the
hills for long tramp. He was in,
a stress of furious emotion, and until
he had worked off the edge of it by.
hard mushing, the cramped civiliza
ton of the town stified him.
Hours later he strobe into the office
of the company. Wally lay asleep in

and his head fallen sideways in such
way as to emphasize the plump folds
of his double chin. His eyes opened
They took in his chief slowly. Then
in small panic, he jumped to his

he explained. "Been up nights a good

Meteetse and her kid"
He stopped. The big man was glar-
Ing savagely at him. But Macdonald
said nothing. He waited, and under
the compulsion of his forceful silence
Wally stumbled on helplessly.

Wally found himself lifted from the

furious face above him, the fat chin

If he should kill me. his last chance for
getting the Macdonald claims patented
would be gone. The public would raise
such a howl that the administration
would have to throw your friend and
the Guttenchilds overheard to save
itself. know that-and Macdonald
knows 1t. So he stands TO lose either
way"
Paget knew this was true. But he
could not drop the subject without
one more appeal.

claims. You know that. It's because
YOU brought the squaw up the river to

Il thought better of it. But I'm glad
someone had the sense to tell Miss
O'Neill the truth"

Big HIGHWAY PLANS
NOW UNDER WAY
Several Comprehensive Meas
ures VIII Be introduced in
This Present Congress.

Several comprehensive highways meas
ures will be introduced in the present
Congress soon after It reassembles next
week for its concluding session. Present
indications are that the bills will agree
in fundamentals and all will call for the
creation OF a Federal road plan in which
each state relatively will be provided
with two main highways one running
transversely and the other longitudinally
across the state and connecting with
similar arteries of communication In I'D
joining States or countries Both Can
ada and Mexico are DESTROYS OF making
trunk highway connections with the
United States, in the belief that an In
terchange OF road travellers will do
much to further friendly international
relations
An understanding has been reached
between the American Association OF
State Highway officials and the Amerl-
can Automobile Association to support
the same measure. 1t will be remem-
bered that these organizations led the
successful campaign for the passage of
the Federal aid road act whereby $780,
600 900 is now being expended in con-
nection with S75,000,000 contributed by
the several States on highways which
form parts OF State road systems. The
next effort will concern interstate or
Federal highways, and 500, 900 an
nually for five years is one sum that has
been suggested. In addition there would

serve to widely disseminate the sound
and sane views expressed during the
conference relative to efficient and
economical methods of motor transpor-
tation, be It .
"ResoLved, That the thanks OF this
assemblago be extended TO the executives
OF the Colt-Stratton Company and to
the director of the conference, John T.
Eustis"
In tho course Of their regular busl-
ness the executives Of the Colt-Stratton
Company had found that there was a
demand on the part of owners of motor
trucks and many others considering the
feasibility OF entering this line OF busi-
ness for authoritative Information and
instruction on the various subjects
covered by the conference. This IL the
reason that prompted the promoting and
financing Of the conference by tho Colt
Stratton Company. ''..
One advantage OF having the confer
ence held under these auspices was that
various organizations actually con-
cerned with the operation of motor
vehicles were able TO participate, which
woud hardly have been tho case II one
of them had been the promoting agent
Among the organlzationst participating
were the Motor Truck Association o.

Talks q Most Successful
Affair.

The marked SUCCESS which attended
the motor transportation conference
held in the Colt Stratton Building.
together with a number Of requests
from those who participated for Its re-
petition. has led to a decision to make
this semi-annual AFFAIR.
The total attendance was 500, an
average of approximately las for each
session. The latter figure exceeds the
attendance at any similar conference
previously held in this country.
At the final session the following
resolution was presented by Prof.
Arthur H. Blanchard on behalf of a
large group who had attended every
session since the start:
Whereas the executives Of the Colt
Stratton Company have from purely
,ltruistio motives conducted a public
