The two D Bar Lazy r punchers
ate supper at Delmonico's. The
restaurant was owned by Wong
Chung. A Cantonese celestial did
the cooking and another waited on
table. The price of a meal was
twenty-five cents, regardless of
what one ordered.
Dave helped himself to bread
from a plate stacked high with
thick slices. He buttered it and
began to eat. Hart did the same.
Just about to attack second slice,
Dave stopped to stare at his COM
panion. Hart was looking past his
shoulder with alert intentness.
Dave turned his head. Two men.

The men were George Doble and
a cowpuncher known as Shorty. a
broad, heavy-set little man who
worked'for Bradley Steelman, own
er of the Rocking Horse Ranch.
They paid their bill and passed
into the street. Immediately the
sound of a clear, high voice ar
rested their attention. 1t yibrated
indignation and dread.
What have you done with my
father?" came sharply to them on
the wings of the soft night wind.
A young woman was speaking.
She was in a buggy and was talk

glance followed Doble, who was
moving slowly down the street.
The girls face, white and shinin z

buggy toward the retreating va

he turned and went straddling down

Hart.
Dawes eyes lit.

boots and went up hand over hand.
In another moment he was hud-

round the chimney.
Dave noved down the roof to the

Dave eased himself over the sill

The two gamblers packed stheir

ENGLAND Is Surprised.

LONDON. Nov. 24-Announcemeut
of the execution in Dublin of Erskine
Childers, leading lieutenant of canon DE
Valera. was received here shortly after
noon today. IT came as a surprise to
England. where il was believed the Free
State authorities would hesitate To inn
pose this penalty.
The execution of Childers removes the
most important figure in the Republican
movement in Ireland next TO Mr.. De
Valera, with whom Childers. a man of
strong personality, is generally credited
here with having had strong influence.
To Chlders is ascrihed perhaps the
leading part in engineering the present
armed revolt against the Free State gov
eminent, and he was known as the mill
tary strategist who planned the opera
tons.
The opinion has been frequently ex-
pressed in responsible quarters here that
the Free State authorities could lay their
hands on canon De Valera, as they did
on Childers, at any time they desired, but
that they did not wish TO do so in view
of the possible aftermath.
The question which immediately
Sprang into the minds OF Londoners in
terested in Irish affairs, when they heard
the news of ChiIdprsB execution. was
whether the Irish Republicans would at
tempt reprisals. and it seemed 10 be
thought not unlikely that these would
have 10 be Feckoned with.
