price?"
Before we talk price," Bryce par.
ried, II want you to answer a ques.
tion."
"Let her fly" said Judge Moore.
"Are you, directly or Indirectly, act.
ing for Colonel Pennington?"
THAT'S none of your business, young
man-at least, it would be none of
ynnr business If were. directly or in
directly, acting for that unconvicted
thief. To the best of my information
and belief, Colonel Pennington doesn't
figure in this deal in any way, shape
or manner; and as you know, I've been
your daddy's friend for thirty years."
Still Bryce was not convinced, not
withstanding the fact that he would
have staked his honor on the judges
veracity. Nobody knew better than4he
In what devious ways the Colonel
worked, his wonders to perform.
"Well," he said, 81 can name you a
price. I will state frankly, however,
that believe it to be over your head.
We have several times refused to sell
to Colonel Pennington for hundred
thousand dollars"
Naturally that little dab of timber
is worth more to Pennington than to
anybody else. However, my client has
given me instructions to go as high as
hundred thousand If necessary to get
the property.
"What?" a
81 said it. One hundred thousand
dollars of the present standard
weight and finepess." ss
Judge Moore's last statement swept
away Bryce's suspicious. He required
now no further evidence that, regard
less of the identity of the judges
client, that client could not possibly be
Col. Seth Pennington or anyone acting
for him, since only the night before
Pennington had CURLY refused to. buy
the property for fifty thousand dollars.
For moment Bryce stared stupidity
at his visitor. Then he recovered his
wits.
!" he almost shouted, and after
the fashion of the West extended his
hand to clinch the bargain. The judge
shook it solemnly. 1.-THE Lord loveth
a quick trader" he declared. Here's
the deed already made out in favor Of
myself, as trustee" He winked know
ingly.
Clients a bit modest, / take it."
Bryce suggested.
ooh, very. OF course I'm only haz-
arding guess, but that guess is that
the Colonel is. in for razooing at the
hands of somebody with a small
crouch against him."
MAY the Lord strengthen that
somebody's ARM" Bryce breathed fer
vently. 1T your client can afford to
hold out long enough, he'll be able to
buy Pennington's Squaw creek timber
at a bargain"
MY understanding is that such is
the program"
, Bryce reached for the deed, then
reached for his hat. "If you'll be good
enough to wait here, Judge Moore, I'll
run up to the house and get my father
to sign this deed. The Valley of the
Giants is his personal property, you
know. He didn't include 1t in his as
sets when Incorporating the Cardigan

A quarter of an hour later he re-
turned with the deed duly signed by
John Cardigan and witnessed by
Bryce; whereupon the judge careless

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct 12 (by As sociated Press) 1.-The high cost of football has come to the fore this year, with announcement of the ap- propriation made for this sport at University of Washington. The total appropriation is $34,62O, and $19,OOO of this will go to visiting teams. Coaches salaries and material ac- counts for the rest of it.

The prisons are so crowded that it has become a scandal and the dock cts so extended as to lead the pub lie prosecutor to recommend that all cases in which conviction would in- volve not more than five years im- prisonment be quashed. It is said that many of the cases cannot be reached for years.
