Intervention of Kate CIllison,

Cullison. He questions the boy

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

F1andrau paid for and pocketed the
ticket he did not intend to use. He
had found out what he wanted to
know. The express did not stop at
Tin Cup. Why, then, had Soapy
marked the time of it's arrival there?
He was beginning to guess the reason.
But he would have to do more than
guess.
Flandrau sauntered back to the hO-
tel on the lookout for Sam. He was
not there, but waiting for him was a
boy with a note for the gentleman in
No. 81.
kid looking for you," the clerk
called to the cow-puncher.
Are you Mr.. Soapy Stones friend,
the one just down from Dead Cow
creek?" asked the boy.
Curly nodded and took the note.
This was what he read:
"Sam, come to Chalkeye's place soon
as you get this. There we will talk
over the business.
you KNOW WHO"
Though he did not know who, Curly
thought he could give a pretty good
guess both as to the author and the
business that needed talking over.
Through the open door of the hotel
he saw Sam approaching. Quickly he
sealed the flap of the envelope again.
"a letter for you, SAM"
Cullison tore open the envelope and
read the note.
"a friend Of mine has come to town
md %c n h. 1o{r
To help out his bluff, Curly sprang
the feeble-minded jest on him. Blonde
or brunette?''~
''I'm no lady's man." Sam protested,
content to let the other follow a wrong
scent.
"Sure not. It never is a lady," Elan
drau called after him as he departed.
But Sam had no more than turned
the corner before Curly was out Of
side door and cutting through an alley
toward Chalkeye's place. Reaching
the back door of the saloon, he opened
it a few inches and peered in. A min
ute later Sam opened the front screen
and asked a question of the man in
the apron. The bartender gave a jerk
Of his thumb. Sam walked toward the
rear and turned in at the second pri-
TAte booth.
';U"ly slipped forward quietly, and
passed unohserved into the third stall.
1'ae "all which divided one room from
snO'h"r was of pine boarding and did
7ot reach the ceiling. Flattened against
the wall, his attention strained to the
utmost, Curly began to catch words
and phrases Of the lOw-voiced speak
ers In the next compartment His po-
sition was perilOus in the extreme, but
he would not leave now until he had
found out what he wanted to know.

to get together and run them out OF
the country. Or to put them behind
bars. Or to string them to a cotton
wood. Then I'll be on the job"
He stood there quiet and easy, the
look in his steady eyes piercing Curly's
ironic smile as a summer sun does
mackerel clouds in clear sky. Not
many men would have had the courage
to send that message to Soapy and his
outfit For Stone was not only man
killer, but mean one, at that.
Curly sloughed his foolishness and
came to the point. you're on, Stats.
I'm making that call to you now"
Surprise, doubt, wonder, relief filed
in turn the face of the other man.
I'm listening, Curly"
His friend told him the whole story
from the beginning. just as he had
been used to do in the old days. And
Davis heard it without word, taking
the tale in quietly with a grim look
settling on his face.
$50 he aims to play traitor to
young Cullison.''
Gle means to shut Sans mouth for
good and all. That is what he has
been playing for from the start, to get
even with Luck. He and his gang will
get away with the haul and they will
leave Sam dead on the scene of the
holdup. There will be some shooting.
and it will be figured the boy was hit
by one Of the train crew. Nothing
could be easier. He aims to put me on
the stand and prove by me that Sam
and he had a quarrel and parted COM
pany mighty sore at each other hardly
a week before the holdup. He'll have
an alibi, too, to show he couldn't have
been in it. See how slick his scheme
is? At one flip of the cards he kills
the kid and damns his reputation. He
scores CulliSOn and he snuffs out Sam,
who has had the luck to win the girl
Soapy fancies. The boy gets his and
the girl is shown she can't love another
man than Stone"
you've got it about right" Stats ad-
mitted. "How about warning Luck?"
1.-THE point is, would he be willing to
wait and let Soapy play his hand out
till we called?"
"You would have to guarantee his
boy would be safe meanwhile"
1.-TWO of us would have to watch him
day and night without Sam knowing
it,
"COunt me in"

make an appointment. I'll be on Ell
Molino street all mO'ning off and on.
When you find out pass me without
stopping, but tell me when we are to
meet and just where"
Curly gave Stats a quarter of an
hour before sauntering back to town.
AS he was passing the Silver Dollar
saloon voice called him. Stone and
Blackwell were standing in the door.
Flandrau stopped.
Soapy's deep-set eyes blazed at him.
''You didn't tell me it was Luck Gull
lison went bail for you, Curly. So you
and him are thick, are you?''
''Ive met him once, if that's being
thick. That time shot him up"
Funny. And then he went bail for
you?"
Eyes"
Nov, I wonder why"
The eyes Of the man had narrowed
to red Sits. His head had shot for
ward on his shoulders as that of a
snake does. Curly would have given a
good deal just then for the revolver
lying on the bed of his room. For it
was plain trouble was in sight. The
desperate had been drinking heavily
and was ready to do murder

yo1 promised to sneak up to my ranch
and spy ON US. That's why he did it,"
With the last word his gun jumped
into sight. That he was flashing him
self into fury was plain. Presently
his rage would end in a tragedy.
Given chance, Curly would have
run for it. But Soapy was dead shot.
OF a sudden the anger in the boy
boiled up over the fear. In two jumps
he covered the ground and damned his

STEAM ROLLER IS STILL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER ORDER u Legged
FACING MARRIAGE OR
"NATl0NAL AL!ZATI0N"
SHE CHOSE FORM Err

Geneva. June 3.-Faced with
the alternative of being nation
allied or getting married, Lydia
Zelinskara, of Moscow, chose
the latter solution temporarily,
she explained in a Geneva di-
Vorce court yesterday.
According to her story, which
was corroborated by her hus-
band, the bolshevik secretary of
the naturalization committee
called on her at her home in
Moscow and informed her she
had been chosen as the wife of
one of the leaders in Premier
Lenine's cabinet. Either She
must submit or be national
ized," the bolshevik employe
said.
Miss Zelinskara, who was q
young school mistress, decided
to do neither. She persuaded a
Swiss, Nicholas Weiss, of Appen-
Zell, to marry her nominally.
Two sacks of white flour were
instrumental in securing the
services of a Russian priest to
perform the marriage ceremony
without the usual religious
functions. The MARI age, how
ever, was registered at the Swiss
consulate in Moscow, the bride
becoming a Swiss citizen.
Weiss and his wife did not
meet again after the ceremony
until a steamer transporting
Swiss refugees from Russia ar
rived at Marseilles. Yesterday
Miss Zelinskara sued her nomi-
nal husband for absolute di-
vorce. The suit was not de-
Tended and she obtained a de-
cree.

mitteemen hold their places only
we now assail the course which
they are pursuing.
Committeeman Are Flayed.
"As a result of the primaries and
conventions held throughout the
union, substantially one-third OF
the members of the present ma
tional committee have failed to
get in the condolences of their con-
|stituents and they will go out of
office the day the convention ad-
iourns. Yet these repudiated COM
mitteemen, in defiance of the pop
ular judgment already rendered,
are seeking to impose their peevish
purpose upon the convention, the
party aad the country.
Certain facts are outstanding in
the compilation Of e-convention
events. Chief among these is the
demonstrated fact that three men
have shown themselves to possess
widespread and well founded sup
port among republicans. These
men, in the order of their demon
strated strength, are General Wood
Senator johnson and Mr.. Hoover.
Except in his own state Governor
LoWden has never succeeded in
running better than a poor third
in any primary. This is not said in
any derogation of any of Governor
Lowden's many good qualities. 1t
is a plain statement of political fact
to which the country is not imper-
vious even though the national
committee is.
There seems to be no secrecy
about the national committee $
plans. They think by their high
handed methods to remove from
the Wood column sufficient num-
Der of votes to the Lowden column
to equalize the apparent strength OF
these two rivals on the first ballot,
One hesitates to revive the harsh
language of 1919, but there is only
one word which can fifty charac-
terize such procedure, and l refer
inquisitive persons to the Vocabu-
larry of eight years ago to learn
what that word is.
Twice before in republican MIS-
tory have similar tactics been en-
ployed. In 1892 at Minneapolis, no
attention was paid to the merits or
any contest and delegates were
seated solely upon the basis of the
common preference which they had
