JONES INSISTED; PRESIDENT SIGNS
 IMPORTANT BILL

SEATTLE, June 19.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has advised his pa per that Senator Wesley L. Jones is credited as being largely responsi- ble for the approval of the water power bill by President Wilson. Sec retary Payne objected to the mea- sure because it permits the devel- opment of water power in national parks, and Senator Jones admits that the objection of the secretary is we'll founded. He has promised, as a compromise, to have the bill amended at the next session.
 In his argument to induce the President to sign the bill, Senator Jones declared that the importance of the measure is so great that its failure to become a law would be a calamity.

CHAPTER ~.
Two Hats on a Rack.

One casual remark of Mackenzie
had given Kate clew. Even before
she had explained It. Curly caught the
point and began to dig for the truth.
For though he was almost boy, the
others leaned on him with the ex-
pectation that In the absence of Ma
loney he would take the lead.
In the morning he and Kate had a
talk with his uncle on the subject.
Not content with this. he made the
whole party adjourn to the club
rooms so that he might see exactly
where Luck had sat and the different
places the sheepman had stood from
the time he entered until the poker
players left.
Together Billie Mackenzie and Alec
Flandrau dramatized the scene for the
young people. Mac personated the
sheepman, came into the room, hung
up his hat. lounged over to the poker
table, said his little piece as well as
he could remember II. and passed into
the next room. Flandrau, Senior, TAX
ing the role of Cullison, presently got
up. lifted his hat from the rack. and
went to the door.

THE JACK OF TRUMPS. TODAY"
Mind II keep theser Curly
asked.
Take 'em along"
Flandrau strolled back to town along
II Molino street and down Main. He
had just crossed the old Spanish plaza
when his absorbed gaze fell on a sign
that brought him up short. In front of
q cigar store stretched across the side
walk painted picture OF a jack of
hearts. The same name was on the
aindow.
Fifty yards behind him was the Sill
yer Dollar saloon. where Luck Cullison
had last been seen on his way to the
Del Mar one hundred and fifty yards
In front of him. Somewhere within
that distance of two hundred yards
the owner of the Circle c had van
ished from the sight Of men. The
evidence showed he had not reached
the hotel. for d cattle buyer had been
waiting there to talk with him. His
testimony. as well as that Of the hotel
clerk. was positive.
Could this little store, the Jack OF
Hearts. be the central point Of the
mysteryf In his search for informa-
tion Curly hud already been in It, had
bought cigar. and had stopped to
talk with Mrs. Wylie. the proprietor.
She was a washed-out little woman
who had olce been pretty. She had
protested with absurd enrnestness
that she had seen nothing of Mr.. Cul.
lison. A single glance had been enough
to dismiss her from any possible sus-
plclOn.
Now Curly stepped In second time.
The frightened gaze OF Mrs. Wylie
fastened upon him Instantly. He OBJ
served that her hand moved instinc-
lively to her heart. Beyond question
she was In fear. A flash of light clari-
fed his mind She was a cOnspirator.

The young vaquero subscribed for a
