the newspaper reports, declared that the primary
election law in this state is failure because II goes

YEARLY state conventions. thus facilitating the

Of state spirit. Somehow it Is difficult to believe
that the governor put 1t exactly that way. ne
would scarcely ask for state conventions yearly
when elections are held only bennially' But even
SO, there is nothing to prevent the parties nom
holding annual state wide mass meetings, anu IN
the case Of the Republican party at least it would
be of benefit way out Of proportion to the cost to

WHEN IN DOUBT PLAY TRUNfPS.' Il
 PLAY TRUMPS NOW"


 There was only the one line to each message. and all of them were plainly in the same hand. He could make out only one thing. that someone was try ing to give the sheriff information in a guarded way.
 He was still puzZling over the thing when a boy came with a special deiv- cry letter for the sheriff. Bolt glanced at it and handed the note to Curly.
 "Another billy doc from my anxious friend"
 This time the sender had been in too much of hurry to print the words. They were written in a stih hand by some uneducated person. THE JACK OF TRUMPS, TODAY" Mind if I keep theseT Curly asked.
 'TaKe 'enI alChg."
 Flandran strOlled back to town along Fl Moline street and down Main. He had just crossed the old Spanish plaza when his absorbed gaze fell on sign that brought him up short. In front of cigar store stretched across the side walk painted picture of jack of hearts. The same name was on the window.
 Fifty yards behind him was the Sil- 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 cattle buyer had been 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 mystery? In his search for informa- tion Curly had 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 Cnce been pretty. She had protested with absurd earnestness that she had seen pothing of Mir. Gull lison. A single glance had been enough to dismiss her from any possible sus- picion.
 Now Curly stepped in a second time. The frightened gaze of Mrs. Wyle fastened upon him instantly. He ob- served that her hand moved inStinc- lively to her heart. Beyond question T. fled his mind. She was a conspirator, but all unwilling one. Possibly she might be the author of the anonymous warnings sent Bolt.
 The young vaquero subscribed for a magazine and paid her the money. Tremblingly she filled out the receipt. He glanced at the slip and handed it back.
 "Just write below the signature of
