CHAPTER VII

Led by Dave, sometimes by the boy, the four followed the course of rivers, upward, always except when they de scended some mountain which they had to cross. and then 1t was soon up ward again. The two Virginia lads found themselves, much to their cha grin. as, helpless as children, but they were apt pupils and soon learned to make fire with flint and even with dry sticks of wood.
 Three days journeying brought them to the broad, beautiful Holston river, passing over the pine-crested, white-rOcked summit of Clinch moun- tain. and came to the last outlying fort of the western frontier. Next day they started on the long, long wilderness trail toward the Cumberland range On the third day therefrom the gray wall of the Cumberland that ran with drowning inaceessibility on their right gathered it's Hanks into steep gray cliffs and dipped suddenly into Cum berland gap. Up this they: climbed. On the summit they went into camp. and next morning Dave swept q long arm toward the wild expanse to the west.
 -Four more days" he cried, "and we'll be there!"
 The two boys looked with ave- on the llmitless stretch of wooded wilds. It was still Virginia, to be sure, but they felt that once they started down they would be leaving their own be- loved state for strange land of un- known beasts and red men who people that dark and bloody ground"
 Before sunrise next morning they were dropping down the steep an: rocky trail. That night they slept amid the rocky foothills of the range, and next morning looked upon vast wilderness stretch of woods that un- dulated to the gentle slopes of the hills, and that night they were on the edge of the bluegrass land.
 Toward sunset Dave, through sixth sense. had the uneasy feeling that he was not only being followed

 At the river-gate they turned to wave last goodby and disappeared in the woods. At that hour the boy far over in the wilderness ahead of them had cooked a squirrel that he had shot for his breakfast and was gnawing 1t to the bones Soon he rose and at a trOt sped on toward his home beyond the Cumberland. And witl him. etched with acid on the steel of his brain. sped two images-Barbara' face as he last saw 1t and the face of young Dane Grey. %r' " :1' The boys tracks were easily to be seen in the sandy road; and from them Dave judged that he must have left long before daylight. And he was tray. cling rapidly. At sunset Dave knew that they were not far behind him. but when darkness hid the lads tracks Dave stopped for the night. Again Erskine had got the start by going on before day, and 1t was the middle of the forenoon before Dave, missing the tracks for hundred yards, halted an0 turned back to where little stream crossed the road. and dismounted, lead ing his horse and scrutinizing the ground.

A war-whoor answered almost in their ears that made the blood leap in both the boys. Even Dave wheeled with cooked rife, ' and the lad stepped from behind bush scarcely ten feet behind them.
 "Well, by gum," shouted Dave fooled us. after all." .,
 A faint grin of triumph was on the lads lips, but in his eyes was a wait. ing inquiry directed at Harry and Hugh. They sprang forward, both of them with their hands outstretched:

 A few minutes later Hugh was trans. ferrlng his saddle from Fireiy to his own horse. which had gone trife lame. On Firefiy, Harry buckled the boys saddle and motioned for him tC climb up. The bewildered lad turned to Dave, who laughed.

 At almost the same hour in the great house on the James the old ne- gress was carrying from the boys room to Colonel Dale In the library kingly deed that the lad had left be- hind him.

to nrroeate to himself the function Of
super government in so pcrilous an un-
| dertaking.
Congress has happily at last awak
enod to the necessity for probing the
frauds committed by disloyal profi-
teers who capitalized our war neces-
stiles. Behind these war contracts are
men Of great social financial and po-
litical power. ! wish it were possible
to believe that the long belated prom
lses of activity were anything more
than q mere flash in the pam For
years the air has been filled with ru
mors of colossal swindles upon the
government.
Urges Congressional inquiry
"The way to ascertain the facts as
to these war contracts is not by refer
ring the subject either to the Attorney
General or to the Federal Trade Com
mission but by an open and fearless
Congressional investigation that will
know neither friend nor foe, and with
such aid as the Federal Trade Com
mission can furnish. The best assurance
Of effective prosecution lies in prior
public ventilation of the facts.
"There is no dispos ition to pre- Judge
these war contracts. But if there are
criminals and it is going to be a cor
respondingly big job to reach them.
Little men. further handicapped by be-
ing tied at every point BY political
wires, are not likely to catch that
species of criminal. Their publicity
bureaus may quell public clamor for
while by delusive promises. but when
the public gaze is withdrawn, as they
rightly reckon that will be. those in
visible underground wires will begin to
work and the whole thing will event
ua]ly drop into oblivion.
Expects Few Small "Goats"
"If the clamor is sufficiently loud and
proves to be insistent perhaps a few
of the less politically and financially
important men, who have been caught
red-handed Gf there are any) may be
offered as a sacrifice to still the public
Indignation while the big fellows, as
usual, get away under cover of the
noise. That would be but history oft
repeating itself, due to the inability of
government to overcome the twin
handicaps Of influence and irefficiency."
Mr.. untermyer criticized the meth
DDS of The Police Departm ent in round
ing up and mprisoning every man who
had at one time committed crime
"as a substitute for departmental eff
cheney" He said the recently inau-
gurated practice of taking these cases
directly to the grand jury should not
be encouraged. He advocated an namend
to the Constitution which would com
pei the defendant to be called as a wit
ness against himself and submitted to
an examination.

Senator Mccormick
TO Continue FIGHT
On DENLY Voyage
Use of Transport for Trip to
Japan With 1881 Naval
Class To Be Taken Up in
Appropriation Bill Issue

From Tho Tribune's Washington Rureau
WASHINGTON, May 17.--Scnator
Mccormick. of Illinois, is strongly dis
posed to follow UP his objections to
the proposed cruise of the transport
Henderson to Japan with Secretary
DENLY nd the class of 81 Of the
Naval Academy. He intends to take
the question up with the Senate Naval
Committee while it is considering the
naval appropriation BILL provided the
committee does not deal with it on it's
own motion.
Senator Mccormick, it is understood,
is by no means the only Senator who is
watching Developments in the matter
closely and further speeches on the
subject are likely to be made on the
floor at any time.
When the naval bill comes up, SEN
ator Mccormick is likely to offer an
amendment to it to deal with the case
Of the Henderson and so to increase
subsistence charges on the transport
for persons sailing on it as the class
Of 81 will sail as to make it prefer
able to travel by commercial steamers
1t was said to-day in Senate circles
that back of the Mccormick resolution
was the apprehension of many Repub-
lcan Senator's that the socalied dun
kct" to Japan would raise much DO
ltical outcry and would be hurtful to
the party when the country is demand
ing economy. If the trip of the Hen,
derson is not discussed in the Senate
earlier, it is said to be certain to come
up for discussion when the naval bill
is reached.
According to official figures made
available at the Navy Department to-
day, the trip Of the Henderson to the
Orient will not be costly enterprise
The vessel was selected at the outset
as Ole Of the navy transports available
required for the Asiatic station, and it
was said the fuel cost will not be
greater by reason Of the sailing list,
including members of the class and
their families.
The vessel will convey 800 blueiack-
cts. seventy-five marines and twenty
one officers and their dependents, with
a cargo of naval stores, from the cast
coast to San Diego, Calf, and the
Orient, the department disclosed. The
fuel cost for the trip to the Orient, the
department. asserts, VIII amount to
56,572.72 on the basis Of the vessels
cargo. The cost Of the return trip has
not been Estimated, although the de-
partment said that full cargo would
be transported back.
eff the navy personnel. including TIE
blueiackets, marines and officers" one
navy official said, "were sent to the
west coast by train, the cost would
amount to $47,89955, and if the navy
stores were shipped by freight to the
Coast the cost would be approximately
$4,000. Thus it can be seen that the
cost to the government Of this trip Of
the Henderson will be far less than
if ommercial transportation service
was used"
Secretary DENLY reiterated to-day
that no change in plans for the Hen
derson had been made, and that the
vessel would sail from Hampton Roads
