Colonel Pennington did not at once
return to his home. however. Instead
he drove up to the business center Of
the town. The streets were deserted,
but one saloon-the Sawdust Pile
was still opeR
Pennington strode through the bar
and into the back room, where num-
Der Of poker games were in progress.
For a moment he stood, his cold,
ophidian glance circling the room un-
til 1t came to rest on no less a per-
sonage than the Black Minorca, an
individual with whom the reader has
already had some slight acquaintance.
It will be recalled that the Black
Minorca led the futile rush against
Bryce Cardigan that day in Penning-
toms woods.
The Colonel approached the table
where the Black MiRorca sat thumb
ing the edges of his cards, and
touched the cholo on the shoulder.
The Black Minorca turned, and Pen
nington nodded to him to follow !;
whereupon the latter cashed in his
chips and Joined his employer on the
sidewalk. Here whispered conver-
sation ensued, and at it's conclusion
the Black Minorca nodded vigorously.
"Surel" he assured the Colonel. "I'n
f1x 'em good and plenty"
Together Pennington and the Black
Minorca entered the automobile and
proceeded swiftly to the Laguna
Grande Lumber company's mill Office.
From a locker the Colonel produced a
repeating rifle and three boxes of
cartridges, which he handed to the
cholo, who departed without further
ado into the night.
Twenty minutes later, from the top

yard, Bryce Cardigan saw the flash of
rifle and felt sudden sting on his
left forearm. He leaped around In
front of the cowcatcher to gain the
shelter of the engine, and another bull
let struck at his feet and ricocheted
OF into the night. It was followed by
fusillade, the bullets kicking up the
freshly disturbed earth among the
workers and sending them scurrying
to various points Of safety. In an in
slant the crossing was deserted, and
work had been stopped, while from
the top of the adjacent lumber pile
the Black Minorca poured a stream of
lead and filthy invectiye at every point
which he suspected of harboring
Cardigan follower.

mured
"What would be the use? This will
be his last night in Humboldt coun-

A rifle shot rang out from the side
of B street; from the lumber pile
across the street, Bryce and Ogilvy
heard suppressed grunt Of pain, and
a crash as Of breaking board. In
stantly out of the shadows George
Sea Otter came padding on velvet
feet, rifle in hand-and then Bryce
understood.
"An right, boss" said George sim

to the men by stepping into the open
and starting briskly to work with a
shovel.
At the bottom of the pile Of lumber
the Black Minorca was discovered with
a severe flesh wound in his right hip /;
also he was suffering from numerous
bruises and contusions. George Sea

will of Colonel Michael ]. Dady, former

Tax Bill May Displace
Tariff i'm Senate Plans
Finance Committee to Decide
Next Week Which Measure
Will Have Precedence

+T*' fUSfttNQ{O1 ErTfgX
WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.-Advocates
of tax revision ahead Of tariff revision
are encouraged by the outlook in the
Senate Finance Committee for the
adoption of their program
Chairman Penrose announced TODAY
that the committee Will decide at the
end Of next week whether to take IN
taxes ahead OF tariff
Senator Penrose continues to stand
for tariff revision first. He indicated
however, that there might be delay in
considering the tariff bill due TO the
tact that the Treasury experts have to
assemble figures on rates based on the
modified form Of valuation which has
been adopted. He deems it possible
that the revenue bill may be taken up
by the Finance Committee while il is
waiting for the report of the experts
Senator Penrose said the Finance
Committee would devote next week to
hearings on the metal and wool sched-
ules. At the close Of the week. it
will decide whether it IS advisable to
consider the tax bill IF it is CON
fronted with a long wait for the fig
ures on the tariff, the tax measure Will
be taken up
The committee will devote to-mor-
row afternoon TO the Graham bill for
the imposition Of a 80 per cent duty
on American goods reimported from
France Brief hearings will be held
Senator McCumber was instructed
to-day to press to passage in the Sen
ate the resolution to extend to January
the emergency tariff bill.

time will hear the Senators Of the agri-

Delay in Erection Of
Soldier Memorial Urged
Art Commission Believes More
Ambitious Monument Would
Be Result

Delay in the erection of permanent
memorial to American fighters who
made the supreme sacrifice in the
World War is urged ir the report Of
the Art Commission for the City of
New York made public yesterday. The
report, submitted by Robert w. dc
Forest, says that commercial concerns
are canvassing the country in an effort
to sell war memorials of stock de-
sign. -
1t was forty-fve years after the death
Of George Washington, the report
points out, before there vas a move
mcnt in New York to erect a monu-
ment 70 the first President In 1854
en- equestrian statue WAS erected IN
Union Square The report concludes:
'lt seems not n al unlikely that a
similar and advantageous delay may
occur in relation to the great memorial
to be erected m honor Of the American
heroes CT the war lately ended Bat
such delay has failed TO satisfy the
yearnings Of those who have lost sons
and husbands, who have longed TO give
instant expression 10 their deep emo
ton. This has led to widespread
movement looking to the erection Of
less ambitious memorials in various
sections OF the city in honor Of those
soldiers and sailors. ing from spc-
cial community groups, who have made
the supreme sacrifice"
