CHAPTER TX
Guerilla Melody regarded the judge
with out expression. Hun he
grunted. Huh"
Within the quarter er-hour they rode
out of belt of cottonwoods into the
Hillsville trail, three wooden faced
men and the wretched judge. The
latter rode in front. with head bowed
on hunched shoulders.
A mile from the ranch house they
climbed the shelving side of the draw
and rode across the flat to where q
struggling growth Of pine and spruce
made a black, pear shaped blot along
the smooth white slope of saddle
backed hill.
Beyond and below this spruce.
where the draw met lower ground
and lost it's identity as a draw, was
the Walton ranch house.
The four men reached the trees
rode in among them Three of them
disnounted and tied their horses
The fourth remained in the saddle.
Said Billy Wingo to the fourth:
Get down.
The judge got down. Swiftly his
hands were tied behind his back, and
his eyes were thoroughly blindfolded
with his own silk handkerchief.
Guerilla Melody seized the judges
right arm and forced him into mo-
ton.
Billy Wingo removed his overcoat
From yolumimous pocket he took
what appeared to be a roll of cloth.
He shook out the roll and discovered
the common or garden variety of
cotton nightshirt, size fifty.
If whoever's in the house can
pick me out from the snow after
wearing this. I'll give his eyes
credit he muttered, pulling on the
| garment in question over his head.
He buttoned the nightshirt with
meticulous care fished a washed
| flour sack from a hip pocket and
pulled it over his head
| Without any fear of being dis
covered, so confident was he that ii
would be impossible to see him
against the white background he ap-
preached the right angle end of the
kitchen.
At the corner of the kitchen he
! dropped on his knees and one hand
Here behind the windbreak the snow
was no more than two or three
inches deep, and he crawled along
the side of the house toward family
glowing window that was his goal
Inch by inch Billy raised a slow
! head above the window sill. For a
/ long time he could see nothing within
the room but the fire in the fireplace
| and alb ig chair over which had beer
thrown buffalo robe. Then after Z
| time he saw, beyond the chair, the
boot soles Of man lying on the
floor. The body of the man lay ir
the shadow cast by the big chair.
There was something about those
boot soles that told Billy that the
! man was dead.
81 figured it would be this way
Billy told himself. Il didn't see how
else it could be- Damn their souls
They don't stop at anything"

You see, Buster had heard the

had started to see what it was all
about. That was because he has =

MANY ILLEGAL
NEDDINGSFOyND
to Old Law in Que
bee, Many Unlawful
Marriages Contracted
(By Associated Pressl

MONTREAL, Jan. 25.-study
OF Quebec status has Just brought
to light that thousands OF mar
riages have been Illegally per-
in this province during the
last 100 years because OF the ma
tionality Of officiating clergy
men.
An act passed in 1929. before
the Canadian confederation was
formed and while Quebec was
still the British colony Of Lower
Canada, provided that only clergy
men who were British subjects
could perform marriage ceremon-
les. When, in 1867 Quebec join
ed the other provinces to form the
Dominion she retained her civil
law intact.
No civil marriages are perform
ed in the province. Clergymen of
various denomination record ,cere-
monies in civil registers provided
by the government. Since 1929
many clergymen have come to
Quebec from other countries, es-
pecially the United States, to take
charge Of pastorates and they
have OBLIGATED at marriages
without regard to their national
ity. AT the end Of each year they
have turned In their books and re-
ceived new registers.
A Unitarian minister Of this
city, an American, recently went
to the government office to get
his 1922 register, and was inform
ed, that because OF his foreign cit
izenship, he could not legally per-
form marriages in the province.
The question raised by a studious
clerk, was taken up by officials
and 1t was then disclosed that the
ancient law still was in force. Be-
sides Americans, many Catholic
priests of French citizenship have
been officiating at marriage cere-
monies. officials estimated that
thousands Of irregular marries''
had been performed since 1929.
According to an opinion render
ed by the attorney generals de-
partment, the only way to regu-
larize the situation is to introduce
in the legislature, a bill declaring
that not withstanding the act Of
1929, all marriages performed
since that time by ,clergymen Of
recognized standing were to be
considered legal.
