was-burred and sheathed in rumpled
gray feathers from his hair to his
heels. The sight and smell of him
scared the horses. There were tufts
of feathers over his ears and on his
chin. They had found great joy in
spelling that aristocratic livery In
which he had arrived.
Then came poor Purvis. They had
just begun to apply the tar and feath-
ers to him when Curtis had stopped
the process. He had only a shaking
ruff of long feathers around his neck.
They lifted the runaways into their
saddles. Purvis started off at gallop,
shouting "Come on, Bart" but they
stopped him.
"Don't be in a hurry, young Teller"
said one Of the Indians, and then there
was another roar of laughter.
SEQ back to yer work now" Curtis
shouted, and turning to me added:
sYou ride along with me and let our
feathered friends follow u.s."
SO we started up the road on our
way back to CobleskiIl. Our guide lett
us at the town line some three miles

Latour was busy picking his arms
and shoulders. Presently he took on
his feathered coat and threw 1t away

one O. those jackrabbits win have to

speed of my horse and went on at

I saw the center toward which all the
men of the countryside were coming.
Suddenly I heard the hoof-beats of

looking over my shoulder saw a rider
approaching me in the costume OF an
Indian chief. A red mask covered his
face. A crest Of eagle feathers circled
the edge of his cap. Without word

reached the gate. Men in Indian masks
and costumes gathered around us.
"Order! Sh-sh-sh," was the loud COM
mand of the man beside me in whom l
I'recognized--or thought that did-the
voice of Josiah Curtis. "What has
happened?"
"One O. them tried to serve writ

Wis shouting back in the crowd this
imprisoned plea:

''If the gentleman tried to serve the
writ he acted without orders and de-
serves what he has got. The other fell
low is simply a hired man who came

writ and a hole in the ground"
"Men, you have gone far enough"
said Curtis. "This man is all right.

on their horses an I'll escort 'em out

LIVING COSTS
Call Sent Out From Atty.-Gen.
Gen. PaImer's Office
for Conference.

Washington, Dec. 19.--With the
coal strike over. officials expect to
give renewed attention to the cost OF
living. A call was sent out today
from Atty. Gen. Palmer's Office today
for a meeting of the committee, with
whom he has met frequently in the
past, on the trend of prices. Secre-
taries Baker, Daniels and Wilson,
Director General Hines, Chairman
Murdoch, of the federal trade COM
missiCn, and others are members OF
the committee.
The calling of the conference was
announced today by Assist mt Attor-
ncy-General F'igg, who said in addi-
ton to effecting economies in opera
ton, it was planned to provide for
the production of standard quality
cloth and garments for sale at a rea-
sonable price as an inducement to
the public to check extraVagance in
purchasing.
Some clothing manufacturers were
said to believe that mems suits now
selling for $55 retail could be sold at
profit for $25, if an arrangement
could he worked out between mills
manufacturers and retailers whereby
certain percentage of business could
be devoted to goods of standard
quality to be turned out in quantity
There is no intention to design a
uniform for the public, Mr.. Fige
said, and the standard goods under
consideration would be standard ir
quality rather than in pattern.
