he was gone to his room.

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.

Luck returned to the hotel morOsely
and tried 10 figure way out of his
difficulties. He was not going to be
beaten. He never had accepted defeat.
He would not lose out after all these
years Of fighting. 1t 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
bad situation worse. He knew his
debts by heart but he jottcd them

added them again.

Twenty thousand was the sum he
needed, and mighty badly too. Absent

and jOtted down one or two other
things. Twenty thousand dollars Just

Luck's fingers gave expression to his

In two. He threw the pieces in the

Luck homesteaded and fenced OH the
north side, thus cutting the cattle Of
his enemy from the river.
Cass was furious. He promptly tore
down the fence to let his cattle and
sheep through. Cullison rebuilt 1t, put
up shack at q point which command

upon it day and night. Open warfare
herders had been beaten because he
persisted In crossing the dead line.
Now Cullisen was going to put the
legal seal on the matter by making
final proof on his homestead. Cass
knew that II he did so 1t would prac-
tically put him out Of business. He
would be at the mercy Of his foe, who
could ruin him II he pleased. Luck
would be In q position to dictate terms
absolutely.
Fendrick felt that there must be
some way out Of the trap II he could
only find It Whenever the thought of
eating humble pie to Luck came into
his mind the rage boiled In him. He
swore he would not do 1t. Better

to a fighting finish.
Taking the broad-brimmed gray hat
he found on the rack Oass passed out
Of the clubhouse and into the sun
bathed street.
Cullison and his friends proceeded
down Papago street to the old plaza
where their hotel was located. All
along the route they scattered mods OF
recognition. friendly greetings and
genial banter. One Of them-the man
who had formerly been the hard-rd-
ing. quick shooting sheriff Of the coun-
ty-met also scowls once or twice, to
which he was entirely Indifferent He
had made enemies, desperate and un
scrupulOus ones, who had sworn to
wipe him from among the living, and
one Of these he was now to meet for
the first time since the man had stood
bandcutfcd before him, livid with fury,
the earliest chance.
1t was in the lobby Of the hotel that
Culllson came plump against LuIe
Blackwell. For just q moment they
stared at each other before the former
sheriff spoke.
"Out again. eh. BLACKWELL" he said
easily.
From the bloodshot eyes one could
have told at glance the man had
been drinking heavily. From whisky
he had imbibed a Dutch courage just
bold enough to be dangerous.
"Yes, I'm Out--and back again, just
as promised, Mr.. Sheriff." he threat
ened.
The cattleman ignored his manner.
"Then I'll give you piece Of advice

That the Filipino people are In earn

to the United States of a second Philip
pine mission to work for independence.
Coincident with this announcement the
War Department received a cable from
Manila stating that the all-Filipino leg

The second mission, like the first, Is
composed of the leading men of the Is

and closer economic relations between
the United States and the Philippines"

The personal relations between Os-

has never been the slightest indication
Of rivalry between them. Throughout
their college life as well as their long

During the years Quezon was the
Philippine delegate in the American

LOWDEN'S WAR RECORD
Governor Active Aid of National
Authorities.
His Own Son, Pullman, Wins His
Stripes in Overseas
Service.

Friends of Frank o. Lawden point
with pride to his record as war gov
ernor of Illinois. Promptly following
the severance of diplomatic relations
between the United States and Ger
many Gov. Lowden issued an appeal
to the people of Illinois to uphold
President Wilson.

cans" he said, ito rally to his sup
port"
Three days later he went before a
joint session of the two branches Of
the legislature to renew his appeal.
eve may have many s~ympathies,"
he said. eve can have but one allegi-
ice and that allegiance is to the
United States"
The authorities In Washington re-
garded Illinois as critical territory.
Gov. Lowden took immediate steps to
demonstrate that the state was united
ly back of the government in what
ever war measures it undertook. He
appointed a state council of defense,
representing all parties and all ele-
ments, to organize the war activities
of Illinois.
The work of this council was note
worthy. Financed by an appropriation
of $4,000 as against appropriations
for similar purposes in other states
running as high as $5,00O,00O, the IL
linols council achieved results equal i'm
Importance to those of any other body
Of its kind in the country. Among the
things 1t did of direct aid to the gov
ernment's military plans was to give
preliminary training to several thou
sand drafted men, so that on report
ing to camp they were able to obtain
immediate recognition as n~oncommis-
stoned officers. The councils chief
function, however, was in building up
the morale of the people at home,
fostering economies, and aiding move
ments of whatever kind designed to
increase national efficiency.
The governor kept In close personal
touch with the Illinois boys in khaki
and blue. He visited them in their
camps, travelled to the seaboard to bid
Godspeed to departing ~contingents and
was at New York to give welcome in
the nam of the state to the veterans
who came back at the close of the
fighting.
His interest in the soldiers was not
merely official. Among them was his
own son, Pullman Lowden-a member
of the Prairie division. In that divi--
sion was the Dandy First" regiment
of the Illinois national guard with
which Lowden served for three years
as observation-disclosures. Pullman went
overseas with his outfit, did his bit in
the ranks as a common soldier, and
came back with the cherished gold
service stripes.

DAUGHTER OF
ACUINALDO IN

She Meets Many Wives of Amer
lean Statesmen and
Makes a Hit.

When General Emilio Aguinaldo was
leading the Filipino army against the
American forces twenty years ago he
probably little dreamed hat some day
a daughter of his would visit the city
of Washington and would be given a
great reception at, the famous Con
gressional Club And that the wives
of 120 members of the American Con-
gress and two wives of members of the
Presidents cabinet would call upon
her to pay their respects!
But all this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen
year-old daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives of the Am
erican statesmen expressed themselves
as both charmed and surprised at the
refined, tactful, college educated young
miss who greeted them.
"Miss Aguinaldo was simply delight
full" vas the expression of n con-
gressman's wife. "She was very mod

More than SS per cent Of the homes
in New York City are rented. In the
Borough of Manhattan the percentage
rises to 81.
Nor is this condition limited to the
Metropolis. 1t is common to most
cities. The people of the United
States who live in rented homes are in
excess of "a per cent Of the population,
according to the latest government re-
turns. About 45 per cent own the
houses in which they live.
These statistics have been collected
for the survey of city life now being
conducted by the Interchurch World
Movement to provide a practical pro-
gram for closer cooperation of Protes-
tant Churches in America. And the
survey already reveals n Of the
gravest problems now confronting the
Church.
Rented homes, the survey shows,
mean migrant families, for the day of
the long lease Is passing, and increases
in rent cause increases in moving. The
migration Of families has shifted and
changed the congregations of urban
churches. And too often the family
that moves beyond the reach Of one
church does not transfer it's member
ship to another, even though 1t attends
that other.
The moving family, say the workers
on the survey, leaves the church letter.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
CHIEFS BACK L0WDEN
SENATOR MCCORMICK, HAROLD
ICkES AND OTHERS PUSH
ILLINOISAN IN RACE.

The closest friends of the late Col.
Theodore Roosevelt and former lead
ers of the Progressive party In Hi
nois and other states of the middle
West are enthusiastically supporting
Gov. Frank o. Lowden's candidacy for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent. United States Senator Medill
Mccormick is one of the most active
workers in Gov. Lowden's behalf. both
In Washington and in Chicago.
Other former Progressives who are
lighting for Lowden in the present
campaign are: Harold L. Ickes, form
er chairman of the national committee
Of the Progressive party; Congress
man Ira G. Copley of Aurora: B. r.
Harris Of Champaign; Frank 81. Funk
Of Bloomington, Progressive partJ
candidate for governor of Illinois In
1872; George H. Porter of Chicago,
and Thomas D. Knight, former presi-
dent Of the Chicago Progressive club.
Col. Roosevelt was the guest OF Gov.
Lowden for three days at the execu-
tive mansion in Springfield, Ill, in Au-
gust, and again in October, 1918.
If nominated for president Gov.
Lowden will, in the opinion Of the
leaders, unite all factions of the party.
He is perhaps the only candidate men
toned acceptable to the old leaders
as well as to the Progressive elemena

by which membership is transferred,
and the family cat behind. If the
church did not have more lives than a
cat, these survey workers are begin
ming to think, 1t would have been dead
long ago, for, just as the family 'loses"
it's cat, a church loses members, al
though another church does not gain
them.
One preacher In a ~pastorate of 10
years noted 5000 changes in his con-
gregation.
The present generation of the city,
the survey reveals, is a generation Of
wanderers because Of the growing
number Of rented homes and the rising
rents. AS a result, the family church
is becoming an urban rarity. The fam
lily in which the father is a founder of
the Church he attends, married to a
member Of the congregation, and with
children baptized by the family min
lister, is more and more seldom found,
the survey workers report.
Too often the increase In rent has
sent the family to another neighbor-
hood. One purpose Of the Interchurch
World Movement survey of the cities
is to determine how, through that
efficient cooperation Of churches
which is the major aim of the move
ment, migrant families may not be lost
to the membership Of their respective
denominations.

LOWDEN FOR ECONOMY
Term as Governor a Record of
Saving and Efficiency. /,
SimpIifies Management of State At
fairs With Results Profitable
to the Tax Payers.

The high cost of government has
supplied the supporters of Frank o.
Lowden the platform on which they
are confident he will be elected presi-
LEM of the United States.
Governor Lowden was born on
farm and worked his way through
school by teaching. He is a product
Of the Middle West, having been borR
In Minnesota, raised in Iowa and then
coming to Chicago. He worked as a
clerk in a chicago law office for So a
week while preparing for his profess
sion. Later he entered politics. He
was thrice elected congressman from
the Thirteenth Illinois district before
voluntarily retiring.
He was elected governor of the
state in 1916 by a tremendous plu-
rality and his record as chief execu-
tive has put him IN the list of presi-
Dental possibilities. Friends of the
governor explain that he had to be
dragged into the race for president.
Certainly he does not seem to worry
about the outcome of the campaign.
81 think one of the greatest needs
of the country today is a stronger,
| finer, happier Americanism," said Gov
! ernor Lowden. "We can compel aliens
to respect our form of government,
or get out. and that we must do. At
the same time we are under the pro-
found necessity of earning that re-
spect from all right thinking men. We
are hearing strong preachments
against profiteering and extravaganza.
Yet it is hardly dawning on the pub
lie mind that we can be paying excess
lively for governm ant. as well as for
sugar. meat or fuel.
"Ilinois formerlF had 125 separate
boards and commissions handling it's
affairs. No one man. no score of men,
were responsible. A premium was
pu on spending.
"Cnder my administration these
bureaus have been consolidated into
nine departments. whose chiefs reside
at .he state capital and r held In
dividually responsible. One effect of
this has been to reduce the tax rate
of the state 33 per cent in two years.
Adoption Of II budget system has been
a vaiua able adjunct in saving the tax
payers money. | think efficiency and
economy In government is one mighty
step ID dire ton of improved
! Amerlcanism."
