WASTE"

Whenever the Republican bosses
and aspirants for office are cor
nered and run ont OF something 10
say. they turn 10 that old story
Of waste and extravaganza by
a Democratic administration.
This is just another OF those
cases in which the bosses OF the
opposition party ur lercs;imaic
the intelligence Of the American
people. They think tina, because
they say a thing Is so. without Of
feriug the proof, that a great
mass OF voters will swear 20 II.
But such is not the case.
The voters do not DENY that
there was some waste and cxtrav-
agance during the progress OF the
world war. That was not 4 time
when il was safe to delay the
game in order TO count the pen
mics. Regardless OF the cost il
was OF paramount Importance
that definite results should be
gained al the earliest possible mo-
ment. And il cost money 20 at
tain the desired ends.
Republicans were in the major
ity in the congress OF the United
States during the progress OF the
war and they have been in the
majority since the signing OF the
armisiice. President Wilson and
members OF the Democratic party
have offered measure after meas
ure looking to the reconstruction
of the nation and a return 10 nor
nal conditions. and each time the
attempt was made il was defeat
ed, not by the Democrats. but by
the Republicans. themselves. Il
is therefore rather silly for the
men who have stood in the way
OF ECONOMY 10 seek to blame an
administration which they hob
bled and made helpless with wha,
they call waste and ex;ravag-
ance."
Voters OF the United State.
have listened 20 the twaddle OF
Republican politicians for many
months. They have yet to learn
what definite measures the party
of the opposition will offer &c
right conditions which they claim
are wrong. They have, therefore
made up their minds 20 vote for
the man whose policies are clear
" defined and who offers yea
remedies for those things which
are in need OF adjustment.
Scores OF individuals. Will,
protesting 10 believe that this i.
"a Republican year" yet will tel
YOU that they themselves will sup.

number OF very sound reasons
For those same reasons. thouS

''Dick. you go with me inside. Uncle Alec. will you keep guard outsider
 No, bub. won't khew Luck before you were walking bowlegged." The old cattleman answered bruSqueiy.
 C"rly grinned "Al right. Don't blame me if you get shot up.'
 Mrs Wylie's startled eyes told tales when she saw the three men. Her face was ashcn.

 'I-I-I don't know what you mean"
 No use. We're here for business. Dick, you stay with her. Don't let her leave or shout warning"
 He passed into the back room, ing room, kitchen and bedroom. A door led from the rear into back yard filtered with empty packing cases, garbage cans and waste paper. After taking a look around the yard he locked the back door noiselessly. There was no other apparent exit from the kitchen-bedroom except the one by which he and his uncle had en- tered from the shop. But he knew the place must have cellar, and his inspection of the yard had showed no entrance there. He drew back the Navajo rug that covered the floor and found one of the old-fashioned trap doors some cheap houses have. Into this was fitted an iron ring with which to lift it.
 From the darkness below came no sound. hut Cmly's imagination con eeived the place as full of shining eyes lIalin- up al him. Any bad mon deHg there already had the drop OH them. Therefore neither Curly nor his uncle made the mistake of draw ing q weapon.

advise you not to be too impulsive"
 He descended the steps, his face like a stone wall for all the emotion it recorded. At his heels came the older man. Curly struck a match, found an electric bulb above his head and turned the button. Instantly the dark ness was driven from the cellar.
 The two Flandraus were quite alone in the room. For furniture there was a table, cot which had been slept in and not made up. and q couple of rough chairs. The place had no win dowS, no means of ventilation except through the trap door. Yet there were evidences to show that it had recently been inhabited. Half-Smoked cigars filtered the floor. A pack of cards lay in disorder on the table. The Sentinel with date line of that day lay tossed in corner.
 Make anything out of it?' the older Flandrau asked.
 Hes been here, but they've taken him away. Will you cover the te!e- phoning? Have allsthe ranches noti- fled that Luck is being taken into the hills. so tBey can picket the trails.
 How do you know he is being taken there?"

 Maloney had an inspiration. He spoke in a low voice to Curly Lets take her to the hotel Miss Kate will know how to get it out of her better than we can."
 Mrs. Wylie went with them quietly enough. She was shaken with fears, but still resolute not to speak. They III ght send her to prison. She would tell them n0thing-nothing at all. For some one who had made terror the habit of her life had put the fear of death into her soul.

The big compress floor would make teo good sized baseball fields only every hit would be home run. We arr wondering how they are going to put a roof ove- it, for it will be like covering a farm. The dimensions are 300 by 600 feet. As an auditorium all the people in the county could assem- ble there, and tben it would look like a poor turnout and the speaker would be speaking to more empty benches than full ones. Sounds like fish story doesn't it We have seen an au- ditorium covering half a city block seat 25,000 people and more. The com press warehouse will cover more than two city blocks. Figure it yourself Why man, the hall in Chicago where the Republican convention is meeting hasn't one-fourth the floor space. We might fence off corner in the com press and invite the next National Con vention here. The whole thing would be too large as no human voice would carry the distance without the use of Q telephone. But We believe the com press is being built to put cotton in and is expected to care for the produc- tion of quite few counties.

CHAPTER V.
A Meesaqe in Cipher.

While Kate listened to what Curly had 10 tell her the dark eyes of the girl were fastened upon the trembling iitle woman standing near the door.
 Do you mean that she is going to let my father be killed rather than tell what she knows" Her voice was sh.rply incredulous, touched with horror scarcely realized.
 1T don't know anything about It." the harassed woman iterated.
 What's the use of saying that when We know you do? And you'll not get out of 1t by sobbing. You've got to talk. You've got to tell-you've just got to-" Kate insisted.
 The little woman shrank before the energy of a passion so vital. No strength was in her to fight But she could and did offer the passive resist ance of obstinate silence.
 Curly had drawn from his pocket the newspaper found in the cellar. His eyes had searched for the date line to use as cumulative evidence, but they had remained fastened to one story. Now he spoke imperatively.
 "Gome here, Miss Kate. believe this is message to us"
 "A message?"
 "From your father, perhaps"
 How could it be?'
 'T found the paper in the. cellar where he was. See how some of these words are scored. Done with finger nail, looks like"
 This was the paragraph upon which his gaze had fastened, and the words and letters were scored sharply as shown below, though in the case of single letters the mark ran through them instead of underneath, evidently that no mistake might be made as to which was meant:

Two men sat in log ca5in on oppo- site sides of a cheap table One of them was immersed in newspaper. His body was relaxed, his mind apparently at ease. The other watched him inadvertently. His fingers caressed the handle of revolver that protruded from the holster at his side. He would have liked nothing better than to have drawn it and sent q bullet crashing into the unperturbed brain of his pris- oner.
 There were reasons of policy why It were better to curb this fascinating desire, but sometimes the impulse to Kill surged up almost uncOntrollably. On these occasions Luck Cullison was usually "deviling" him, the only diver sion that had been open to the ranch man for some days past.
 From time to time as Luck read he commented genially on the news.
 Blackwell merely scowled. Given his way, Cuilison would not be here to the conspiracy had ruled otherwise and insisted, too, upon decent treat ment. With one ankle securely tied to q leg of the table there was no danger in freeing the hands of the cattleman, but his hosts saw that never for an in7 stant were hands and feet at liberty tq1 gether. For this man was not the OrA eiIh whom to take chances.
 Cullison read on:
