They stopped as though to camp by
the mirage lake. A camp fire ap-

the wagon and the fire.
Two coyotes came trotting along

after a few steps Of looking with

Of me to watch 1t. rose up better to
watch them. They had either not
seen me or had forgotten my presence
in their eager concentration on the
camp scene. Another loose horse, as
though left behind, came tagging up.
The coyotes watched this moving
horse; they were seeing what / was

Roosevelt Is Told

Park, n Y, Monday urged ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty, which, to
make it a real treaty for real peace,
must include a league of nations"
THE league of nations" he assert
ed. lis practical solution OF a practi-
cal situation. 1t is no more perfect
than our original constitution. which
has been amended eighteen times, and
will soon, we hope, be amended the
nineteenth, was perfect. 1t is not anti.
national, it is anti-war
Through it we may, with nearly
every other duly constituted govern
ment in the whole world, throw oar
moral force and our potential power
into the scale of peace. That such an
object should be contrary to American
policy is unthinkable, but if there be
any citizen who has honest fears that
it may be perverted from its plain in
tent so as to conflict with our estab-
lished form of government. it will be
simple to declare to him and to other
nations that the constitution OF the
United States is In every way su-

Republicans Select
Full State Ticket

Dallas, Textile republican con-
vention convened Tuesday, and adopt
ed a platform and nominated full
republican ticket.
No proposal for fusion with the
American party or the Bailey faction
of the democratic party was discussed
on the convention floor, nor received
serious consideration in the committee
rooms.
The nominees of the party follow:
For governor-John G. Culbertson,
Wichita Falls. Lieutenant Governor
Howard M. Smith. Port Arthur. At
torney general-Earl Wharton, Hous-
ton. State treasurer-Frank G.. Gross,
San Antonio. Judge court of criminal

boro. Associate justice supreme court
C. o. Harris, San Angelo. Chair
man of the republican state executive
committee-Phil E. Baer, Paris. Vice
chairman-R. B. Craeger, Browns
vile.
The platform declares flatfootedly
for the open shop, but indorses the
right of collective bargaining. Also
it calls for compulsory arbitration,
with power to enforce awards of the
arbitrating body. 1t condemns gov
eminent ownership, and commends
the Esch- Cummins rail bill; opposes
unionization of federal, state and mu-
nicipal employees.
The platform makes no mention
either of woman suffrage or of pro-
hibition. The democratic league of
nations is condemned The Terrell
election law is condemned with full
vigor and it's repeal advocated.

Farmers congress closed its twenty
third annual convention Wednesday
and passed into history. Resolutions
were adopted declaring that the or
ganization had accomplished to large
extent the purposes for which it was
organized and that the large number
of existing agricultural organizations
prevent any of them from being as
useful as they should be. Committees
were appointed to appear before other
agricultural organizations to urge
merging these bodies into one large

fled back into the hall, crashing the
door behind him.
Ten minutes later ne returned not
alone, however. This time his com
panion was John Cavendish but par
TALLY dressed, his features white and
haggard
With nervous hands he pushed open
the door. At the sight of the body he
trembled a moment, then, mastering
himself, strobe over and touched the
dead face the other meanwhile edging
into the room.
Dead, sir, really dead?" the late
conner asked.
Cavendish nodded: For several
hours" he answered in an unnatural
voice. HE must have been struck
from behind. Robbery evidently was
the bject-cold-bloo robbery. You
heard nothing during the night?'
Nothing, sir. | swear knew moth
the body few moments ago"
You'd better stick to your story,
Valois,n the other said sternly. "The
police will be here shortly. I'm going
to call them. now"
He was calm. efficient, self-contained
now as he got central station upon the
wire and began talking.
Hello, lieutenant? Yes. This is
IN icl, Of ha Vol ~ rt-
ments speaking. My cousin, Frederick
CavendiSh, has been found dead in his
room and his safe rifled. Nothing has
been disturbed. Please hurry"
Perhaps half an hour later the police
came-two bull-necked plain-clOthes
men and a fiannel-mOuthed cop"
With them came three reporters, one
of them woman. She was young
woman, plainly dressed and, though she
could not be called beautiful, there
was certain patrician prettiness in
her small, oval, wOmanly face with its
gray kind eyes, it's aquiline nose, its
firm lips and determined jaw, a certain
charm In the manner in which her
chestnut hair escaped occasionally
from under her trim hat. Young, ag-
greSsive, keen of mind and tireleSS,
Stella Donovan was one of the few
good woman reporters Of the city and
the only one the Star kept upon its
pinched payroll. Though her custom
airy assignments were sob" stories,
divorces, society events and the track
ing down of succulent bits of general
scandal. she nevertheless enjoyed being
upon the scene of the murder even
though she was not assigned to it.
This casual duty was for Willis, the
Stars police man, who dragged her
along with him for momentary COM
pany.
A flood of questions came down up
on VaIois and John Cavendish, while
Miss Donovan, silent and watchful,
stood back.
Valois repeated his experience,
which was corroborated in part by the
testimony of John Cayendish's valet
whom he had met and talked with in
Tic udll. 4HcIc was uO ld w III NiS
stories to which the inquisitors could
attach suspicion. One thing alone
seemed to irritate Willis.
Are you sure" he said to Caven-
dish, that the dead man is your
cousin? The face and chest are pretty
badly burned, you know, and ] thought
perhaps"
A laugh from the detectives silenced
him. while Cavendish ended any fleet
ing doubts with q contemptuOus gaDe.
"You can't fool a man on his own
cousin, youngster," he said fatty.
"The idea is absuS1."
The same L~y, young John, eager to
be away from the scene, moved his
belongings to the Paramount hotel, and,

since no will was found In the dead
mans papers, the entire estate came
to him as the next Of kin. A day or
two later the body was inferred In the
family lot beside the fathers grave,
and the night Of the funeral young
John Cavendish dined at an out-of-the-
