Have Attack Oh Economy
But Quickly Recover

Pierre, S. D.. Feb. IA wave of
economy swept over the members OF
the house Friday morning which for
a time threatened to seal the fate Of
the several minor appropriation
measures on the calendar for the
forenoon session.
The element of conservatism devel-
oped without warning during the vote
on the bill appropriat1ng $1,000 for a
machine shed at the state hospital for
the insane at Yankton. The measure
lost by.a large majority.
An opposite force was brought into
action whenSthe next bill was called
which after more than an hours de-
bate reversed the attitude. This Sec
ond bill appropriating $4,000 for the
roofing of the power house at the
state hospital, $2,500\for fencing and
cross fencing. $1,000 for additional
farm machinery and $3.50 for
weather stripping, all to be used at
the same institution. The passage Of
this reflected upon the sue
ceeding bills which were put through
with but little effort.
These included H. B.. No. 212, ap-
propriating $4,000 for deficiency in
maintenance for the State Soldiers
Home at Hot Springs.
HI. B. Els, appropriating $1,000 for
deficiency in maintenance and salaries
at the school for the blind at Gary.
H. B. ia. appropriting' $4,000 to

"Good evening, Cranston," he said
Pleasantly.
Cranston was also upon his feet the
same instant His instincts were en-
rirely true. He knew if he Ieaped for
his rifle, Dan would be upon his back
In an instant, and he would have no
chance to use it. The rifle was now
out of the running, as they were at
about equal distances from it, and
neither would have time TO swing or
aim it.

ment Cranston could find no answer.

versaries, and which Dan had now.

he stepped nearer Not only for

They measured each other with their
eyes. Once more Cranston's gaze stole
to his rifle, but lunging ont, Dan
Kicked it three feet farther into the
shadows of the iean-to. Dan saw the
dark face drawn with passion, the
hands clenching, the shoulder muscles

Her thought flashed to the clasp
