CHAPTER n.
An Initiated Hat.

Mackenzie was reading the Sentinel while he ate late breakfast. He had it propped against the water bottle, so that fl need not interfere with the transportation of sausages, fried po- tatoes. hot cakes and coffee to their common destination.
 Trying to do two things at once has its disadvantages. startling head line caught his eyes just as the cup was at his lips. Hot coffee. preclpi- tately swallowed. scnlded his tongue swore mildly. and gave his attention to the news that had excited him:
 While the citizens of Saguache were peacefully sleeping last night. lone bandit held up the messengers of the Western X Southern Express com pany, and relieved them of twenty Thousand dollars just received from Fl Paso on the Flyer
 ''perry Hawiey, the local manares of the company. together with len Rogers. the armed guard. had just re- turned from the depot. where the AupHtA Idu nttH luIllRN NNhT lh liltlM and receipted for Hawley had un- locked the door of the office and had stepped in, followed by Rogers. when a masked deSperado appeared sudden ly out of the darkness. disarmed the guard and manager. took the money, passed through the door and locked lt after him. and vanished as silently as he had come. Before leaving. he warned his victims that the place would be covered for ten minutes and at any attempt 10 call for help they would be shot. Notwithstanding this, the imprisoned men risked their lives by raising the alarm"
 Further down the page Mackenzie discovered that the desperado was still at large, but that Sheriff Bolt expect ed shortly to lay hands on him.
 He folded the paper and returned to his room to make preparation to re- turn to his ranch. The buzz of the telephone called him to the receiver. The voice of Cullison reached him.
 "That you, Mac7 I'll be right up. No, don't come down. I'd rather see you alone"
 The owner of the Circle O came right to business. i've made raise. Mac, and while I've got 1t I'm going to skin off what's coming to you"

Kate explained In her soft voice. "Dick told us why yon went up to Dead Cows creeR"
 "ShoI hadn't a thing to do, so I just ran up there. Sam's in town with me. We're rooming together"
 "Oh, take me to him." Kate cried. "Not just now, honey" her father said gently. "This young man came here to tell us something. Or so I gathered from his friend Davis"
 Flandrau told his story, or all of 1t that would bear telling before a girl. He glossed over his account of the dis slpation at the horse ranch, but he told all he knew of Laura London and her interest in Sam, but it was when he related what he had heard at Chalk eyes place that the interest grew most tense. Luck's eyes burned like live coals. The color faded from the face of his daughter so that her lips were gray as cigar ash. Yet she sat up straight and did not finch.
 When he had finished the owner of the Circle c caught his hand. You've done fine, boy. Not man in Arizona could have done better"
 Kate said nothing in words but her dark long-lashed eyes rained thanks upon him. .#4
 They talked the situation over from all angles. Always it simmered down to one result. It was Soapy's first play. Until he moved they could not. They had no legal evidence except the word of Curly. Nor did they know on what night he had planned to pull off the holdup. If they were to make a complete gather of the outfit, with evil delt,.e enough to land them in the peni- tentiary, 1t could only be after the holdup.
 Meanwhile there was nothing to do but wait and take what precautions they could against being caught by surprise. One of these was to see that Sam was never for an instant left un- guarded either day or night. Another was to ride to Tin Cup and look the ground over carefully. For the pres ent they could do no more than watch events. attracting no attention by any WAiSpCihS lOSCIuCl HI puOhGs
 
 The old Arizona fashion of settling difference of opinion with the six gun had long fallen into disuse, but Saguache was still close enough to the stark primeval emotions to wait with keen interest for the crack of the re- volver that would put period to the quarrel between Soapy Stone and young Flandrau. 1t was known that Curly had refused to leave town. just as it was known that Stone and that other prison bird Blackwell were hanging around the Last Chance and Chalkeye's Place drinking together morosely. It was observed, too, that wherever Curly appeared in public he was attended by friends. Sometimes it would be Maloney and Davis. some times his uncle, Alec Flandrau, occa-

big game had been in progress all night at the Roundup club. Now the garish light of day streamed through the windows, but the electric cluster still flung down it's yellow glare upon the table. The men were in their shirtsleeves. Big broad-shouldered fel- lows they were, with the marks of the outdoors hard-riding West upon them. No longer young, they were still full of the vigor and energy of unflagging strength. From bronzed faces looked steady unwinking eyes with humorous creases around the corners, hard eyes that judged a man and his claims shrewdly and with good temper. Most of them had made good in the land, and their cattle fed upon a thousand

 "All the same Luck's too derned rash" Flandrau commented. And he hadn't ought to be sitting in these big games. He's hard up. Owes a good bit here and there. Always was a spender. First thing he'll have to sell the Circle c to square things. He'll pay us this week like he said he would. That's dead sure. But l swear don't know where he'll raise the price. Money Is so tight right now"
 That afternoon Luck called at every bank in Saguache. All of the bankers knew him and were friendly to him. but In spite of their personal regard they could do nothing for him.
 "It's this stringency, Luck" Jordan of the Cattlemen's National explained to him. "Pd let you have 1t if dared Why, we're running close to the wind Public confidence is a mighty ticklish thing. If I didn't have twenty thou sand coming from El Paso on the Fiyer tonight I'd be uneasy for the bank.-

 Luck returned to the hotel moroseIv and tried to figure a way out of his difficulties. He was not going to bo beaten. He never had accepted defeat He would not lose out after all these years of fighting. It had been his des- perate need of money that had made him sit In last nights poker game But he had succeeded only in making a bad situation worse He knew his debts by heart, but he jotted them down on the back of an envelope and added them again.

Statement that an American com
panv in Los Angeles had sold to Jap
anese 100000 acres of land on the
Mexican side Of the Imperial valley,
the American company promptly prov
ed this to be false, and proved that
il had sold no land there or any
where else to japanese, the senator
shifted the story to such a sale TO
japanese by the Mexican government
That government promptly denied such
sale and submitted proofs Of the
falsitv of the charge. Not discouraged
the senator shifted again to the
charge that japanese women in TINS
state are having children and that
the government ought to stop it.
'sThe way to combat the japanese
is not by lying about them and de-
priving them Of the common, prl-
mitiye right of humanity, but OK
ceiling them in industry, in fore
sight and enterprise.
The above extract from Col. Irish S
speech ought to convince every falr-
minded citizen the real nature of
japanese agitation. In general
japanese are trying to be American
zed, industriousy, believing the atti-
Jude of the American people will be
that of the Col Theodore Roosevelt,
who said:
owe must treat with justice and
rood viii all immigrants who come
lere under the law, whether they are .
'atholic or Protestant, Jews or Gen
lie. Whether they come from Eng
and or Germany, Russia Japan or
tally. matters nothing. All we have
light to question is the man IS con
net If he is honest and upright in
lis dealings with us, his neighbor,
nd with the state, then his is en-
tiled to respect and good treatment. -

ANDO WRITES Of
ATTITUDE ON
JAPANESE
Editor Free Press:

Editor Free Press:
IL goes without saying that the Jap
anese population on the Pacific coast
presents q problem. But il is not quite
right to assume that they are q
menace to the white population. Foi
some years i'm the past, the cry
has been raised to the effect that the
japanese population actually drives the
white population away from their
abode.
Owing to the mcessant activities OF
of the German propaganda, this agita-
tion against the japanese has been
actively carried out during the war.
Bat the kaiser was finally forced to
abandon his oNermastcring ambition
to conquer the whole world. 1t be-
came clear that Germans were largely
responsible for disseminating the idea
that the interest of the japanese
population i'm America is directly OPP
posed to that of the native Ameri-
cans.
Now we an know that the center of
japanese population in the Uunited
States of America is California III
is here that japanese agitation was
iuaugurated by reckless labor leaders
who we're finally expelled by their own
rank and file 1t is here, the golden
state, that the japanese really men
aces the American people. Let us,
then. take California as our text
to study this absorbing question of
japanese penetration and agressing.
Now it has been said that the
japanese population in California
drives away white farmers. But, is
it true9
Let us see what Col. John p Irish,
of California, said at the fifty
second convention of California fruit
growers and farmers, held at Chico,
Cal, Nov 10 to TO- 1919. He said in
part as follows;
"'The present vituperative discus
sion of the question of the oriental |
people in California, goes deeply into
the whole subject Of productive Ia
Dor on land When we treated our
treaty with China as a scrap of pa
per and by the Geary act excluded
10000 Chinese who were legally dom
iciled here, and by numbering and
destroying the property of other Chi
nese, drove them out, there was ere
ated a shortage in farm labor, and
this economic vacuum drew in the,
Japanese, who came protected by
solemn treaty between l percent of
our population, the present storm was
started by Senator Phelan.
