CHAMP CLARK UNDER FIRE.

WASHINGTON, March TO-
Champ Clark was asked to declare
his position on the league of nations
in a telegram sent TO him at New
Orleans by Representative Mays of
Utah. who repeated his assertion
that the former speaker had said
in his presence that the league con-
stitution has as much chance of be-
ing ratified as you have o. being
pope of Rome"
Mr.. Clark had publicly denied
making such a statement Mr.. Mays
message was made public tonight by
the organization of Democratic mem
bers of the House who oppose the
selection of Mr., Clark as minority
leader in the next Congress.
1t said the former speakers refer
ence to the league was made on the
day Senator Reed of Missouri spoke
against II in the Senate, and Mr..
Clark had declared Mr.. Reeds ar
gument was unanswerable.
IAN other prominent public men
have announced their position on
this vital public question, said Mr..
Mays, "even Bryan from a sick bed

do you propose to act IN bar

my memory. 1t will never fade while

ing row of stateroom doors on either
side, some standing ajar, and that
crowd of excited men surging about
the fallen body of Judge Beaucaire,
unable as yet to fully realize the exact
nature of what had occurred, but con-
scious Of impending tragedy. The
overturned table and chairs, the mo-
tionless body of the judge, with Kirby
standing erect just beyond, his face as
clear-cut under the glare Of light as
a cameo, the revolver yet glistening in
his extended hand, all composed a
picture not easily forgotten.

laugh was more cruel than the accom-
panying words.

Continued from last week

The sharp exhaust of distant
steam pipe below punctuated the ST.
lence, and several glanced about ap-
prehensively. AS this noise ceased
Beaucaire lost all control over his
nerves.
"Come on, play your hand" he de-
manded, cor I'll throw my cards in
your face"
The insinuating sneer on Kirby's
lips changed into the semblance of a
smile. Slowly, deliberately, never
once glancing down at the face of his
cards, he turned them up one by one
with his white fingers his challenging
eyes on the judge; but the others saw
what was revealed-a ten-spot, a
knave, a queen, king and an ace.
"a straight f1ush!'' someone yelled
excitedly. DID if I ever saw one
befOre!"
For an instant Beaucaire never
moved, never uttered a sound. He
seemed to doubt the evidence of bis
own eyes, and to have lost the power
of speech. Then from nerveless
hands his own cards fell face down
ward, still unrevealed, upon the table.
The next moment he was on his feet,
the chair in which he had been seated
flung crashing behind him on the deck.
"You thief!' he roared. "You dirty,
l0w-down thief; / held four aces
where did you get the fifth one?"
Kirby did not so much as move, nor
betray even by change of expression
his sense of the situation. Perhaps he
anticipated just such an explosion and
was fully prepared to meet it. One
hand still rested easily on the table,
the other remaining hidden.
$50 you claim to have held four
aces" he said coldly. "Where are
they?"
McAfee swept the discarded hand
face upward and the crowd bent for
ward to look at four aces and king.
''That was the judges hanG," he de-
clared soberly. II saw it myself be-
fore he called you, and told him to
stay"
Kirby laughed-an ugly laugh show
ing his white teeth.
"The HI you did? Thought you
knew a good poker hand, I reckon.
Well, you see knew better one and
it strikes me am the one to ask ques-
tions," he sneered. "LOok here, you
men; / held one ace from the shuttle.
Now what I want to know is where
Beaucaire ever got his four? Pleas
ant little trick of you two-only this
time it failed to work"
Beaucaire uttered one mad oath, and
I endeavored to grasp him but missed
my clutch. The force of his lurching
body as he sprang forward upturned
the table, the stakes jingling to the
deck, but Kirby reached his feet in
time to avoid the shock. His hand,
which had been hidden, shot out sud-
denly, the fingers grasping revolver,
but he did not fire. Before the judge
had gone half the distance he stopped,
reeled suddenly, clutching at his
throat, and plunged sideways. His
body struck the upturned table, but
McAfee and / grasped him, lowering
the stricken man gently to the floor.

deliberately with this final end in view
of running him, and thus compelling
his daughter to yield herself.
Sand you actually mean that you

"Well, hardly that, although shall

drew deep breath, comprehend
ing now the full iniquity of his plot,
and bracing myself to fight it.
"And what about the other girl,
Kirby? for there is another girl"
'sYes,'' rather indifferently, there is
another

"Certainly-a niger, a white mig

play any game with my eyes shut
"And you actually intend TOTO

"Well, I'll look her over first before
I decide-she would be worth a pot
full of money down the river"
The contemptuous, utterly indiffer-
ent manner in which he voiced his viii
lainous-purpose, would have crazed
any man. To me this utterance was
the last straw, breaking down every
restraint, and leaving me hot, and
furious with anger. I forgot the muz-
zle of the pistol pressed against my
side, and the menacing threat in
man was indistinct, mere outline,
but the swift impulse to strike at it
was irresistible, and ] let him have the
blow-a straight-arm jab to the jaw.
My cinched knuckles crunched against
the flesh, and he reeled back, kept
from falling only by the support of
the deckhouse. There was no report
OF a weapon, no cutlery, yet, before ]
could strike again, | was suddenly
gripped from behind by pair of arms,
which closed about my throat like
wise, throttling me instantly into silent
helplessness. I struggled madly to
break free, straining with all the art
Of wrestler, exerting every ounce of
strength, but the grasp which held me
was unyielding, rObbing me of breath,
and defeating every effort to call for
help. Kirby, dazed yet by my sudden
blow, grew eager to take hand in the
affray, struck me cowardly blow in
the face, and swung his undischarged
pistol to level with my eyes.
Continued next week.
