CHAPTER ~.

Dawes opportunity came sooner
than he had expected. After the de-
parture OF the Hardys things at the
old ranch were. as both father and
son had predicted. very different.
They found themselves on sort Of
good BEHAVIOR behavior which, I'M
happily. excited In each other grave
suspicious as to purpose. The tension
steadily increased. and both looked
forward to the moment when some
thing must give way.
For several weeks the old man re-
manned entirely sober, but the call Of
the appetite In him grew more and
more inslstent as the days went by.
and at last came the morning when
Dave awoke to find him gone. He
needed no second guess; the craving
had become irresistible and his father
had ridden TO town for the means to
satisfy II. The passing days did not
bring his return. but this occasioned
no anxiety to Dave. In the course Of
a carouse his father frequently re-
manned away for weeks at a stretch.
He moped around the ranch build
ings. sat moodily by the little stream,
casting pebbles in the water. or rode
over the old trails on which she had
so often been his companion.
Then the old mans horse came
home. Dave saw II coming up the
trail, not running wildly but with
nervous gallop and many sidelong
turnings of the head. AS the boy
watched he found a strange empti-
ness possess him his body seemed a
phantom on which his head hung over
heavy. He spoke to the horse, which
pulled up. snorting. before him; noted
the wet neck and TANKS. and at last
the broken stirrup. Then, slowly and
methodlcally, and still with that
strange sensation OF emptiness, he
saddled his own horse and set out on
After the last rites had been paid to
the old rancher, Dave set about at
once to wind up his affairs. and II
was not until then that he discovered
how deeply his father had been In
volved. The selling of the cattle and
the various effects realized only
enough to discharge the liabilities, and
when this had been done Dave found
himself with a considerable area Of
unmarketable land, considerable
bundle of paid bills and his horse.

WEDNESDAY SET
FOR HEARING ON
WAGE REQUESTS
Commission VIII Take Action on
Money Needs of All Employees
in City Service.

Tomorrow has been set as the
date on which action will be taken
on the demand of different city
employees for increases in pay.
Yesterday afternoon the COM
mission discussed the increases.
Each commissioner was detailed to
investigate and make recommends
tons as to the needs Of the work
ers in his departments.
The petitions from the policemen
and fremen, which were scheduled
to be presented to the commission
yesterday afternoon, were not Of

needs before official demands are
presented. The policemen and fire.

will be considered in the raises.
Yesterday afternoon a petition
was received from H. w. Laheff,
one of the paving inspectors, re-
questing an increase. Paving in
spectors now receive 81 per day.
although they work only certain
times during the year.
Recommendation Tor All.
1t is expected that on Wednes-
day recommendations will be made
for increase for the different work
men in the city service. Only
short time ago the teamsters were
given a slight increase, and it is
probable that Commissioner Frank
WITCH of the department of streets
and public improvement will rec
ommend another increase for them.
The city inspectors and different
clerks have not been given an in
crease in some time, and Commits
sioner Nj. T. Rudgren of finance
has expressed his opinion that
these as we'll as other officers
should be considered.
The police janitor several weeks
ago asked for an increase of from
$40 to $50 per month, which was
laid over Now the commission
probably will act on the request.
Yesterday afternoon the mayor and
commissioners discussed generally
living conditions and decided that
as long as prices keep mounting
employees wages must necessarily
be increased too.
