said Billy. "Or else why was he SC
particular to tell those r U boys
he was from Arizona?"
Guerilla looked bewindered. What
did Conley have against Tip?"
Il don't know" said Billy. But
maybe friend Simon can tell us
s0methin'"
Simon Reelfoot, riding the range
that day, met strange horseman.
Did Simon know where Park Valley
was? Simon knew.
"Shucks,'. said the strayman.
Here's an envelope and a pencil
Make III map, will you?"
Here" said Simon, holding out
the envelope, This ought to fix you
up"
TO his horror, the weIl-known
voice Of Billy Wingo at his back
conculred. s. 1t ought to- said Billy
Wingo. Kindly clasp your hands
over your hat
You oughtn't to have given him
that envelope Billy admonished the
straynan. 1T has the confession
in it.
Simon stirred uneasily ON his sad
die, Confession! Whose confession?
He recalled that there had been sew
eral folded sheets of paper in the
envelope. OF course, Simon could
not know that these sheets were
white-innocent of either handwrit-
ing or printing
Billy took the enelope and un-
folded the sheets. 1t was apparent
to keelfoot that he was refreshing
his memory.
Simon" Billy said, glancing up
suddenly, why did Conley go
south?"
Il dunnor
yes, you do" Billy\ insisted,
striking the sheets of paper with his
fist. we found Conley. He was
working for the 7 u when he died"
Il told him not to go" muttered
Simon Reelfoot.
"Conley talked before he died,
said Billy He told me some inter-
esting things about himself and
you" Here Billy stuffed the sheets
of paper into his trousers pocket and
gripped Simon by the throat. You
damned murderer, what did you kill
him for?''
AT the fierce clutch of Billy's fin.
gers, Simon's shaking legs refused
to uphold him longer He fell on his
knees. IL didn't kill him p he
srluttered. He was dead when"
you lie Conley said so! You
tried to throw the blame on me by
leaving behind Billy's voice

THAT was Conley's idea!'
screamed the panicky Reelfoot. He

"Do you feel like admitting that

"Nothin' to say" declared Dan
Slike, unrepentant.
They found the body of the man
with his face in the water. Billy

Billy stopped to examine a butcher
knife taken from Slike. He caught
his breath On the handle of the
butcher knife the letters T W were
cut deep into the wood
How many butcher, knives did

manded

He was no nearer the solution of
the Tuckleton murder. His theory
that Slike had killed Tuckleton was
smashed to smithereens by the dis
covery of the Walton butcher knife
in Slike's bootleg Unless Slike had
taken two knives. But Slike had not

Recent Scandals or Harding Ad-
minlstratlon.

At the rate at which they are breaking.
the scandals OF the Harding administra-
ton promise to outnumber those of all
his Republican predecessors for genera
ton.
The Daugherty- Fielder Morse scandal
thorouhly exploited by the daily press
can be properly classified as an admins.
tration scandal. Attorney General Daugh-
erty was the personal selection of Presi.
dent Harding, and was Senator Harding's
pre-convention campaign manager.
In recalling the Newberry scandal it will
be remembered that Senator Newberry
was personal friend and social favorite
OF President Harding; that two men in
dicted with Newberry were appointed by
President Harding to be United States
district attorneys in Michigan that the
appointment Of the notorious Nat Gold
stein was made in the face Of general
public knowledge Of his connection with
the Lowden primary slush fund that
President Harding in the public prints en-
dorsed the leasing of the last naval oil
reserves to subsidiaries Of the STANDARD
Oil Trust, although these leases were made
secretly and had to be ferreted out by the
vigilant John B. Kendrick. Senator from
Wyoming; that President Harding has
never yet explained his wholesale dis
charge of aged and trusted employees in
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
nor has he done anything to lift the cloud
he placed upon the lives of these men and
women who had won preferment in the
government service by long and efficien,
service.
The foregoing takes no account of the
manner in which the President has tram
pied upon the principle and policy of the
Civil Service. nor Of his many bad minor
appointments

HefIin Says 6. o. p. Made Us Sick
And Then Taxed Medicines.

Senator j. Thos. Hefin, one Of the most
eloquent debaters in the U. S. Senate, re-
Gently called attention to some Of the most
unjustifiable taxes levied in the pending
Tariff bill. pointing out that taxation be-
gins hereunder at BIRTH increases through
sickness and reaches its climax at the
death of the individual. He said;
Il will tell you some Of the things voted
against voted against your tax on mill

saw you tax medicines. Why, under
the reign of the Republican party your
def1ation policy robbed the South and the
West; you closed industries you turned
labor out of employment you bankrupted
the country merchants and bankers, and
now the people are down. struggling to get
up again, feeble, indeed. and you put a
tax on medicines.
There is no escape from the tax gath
erers Of the Republican party. You tax
everything, from the swaddline clothes Of
the infant to the winding sheet OF the dead.

voted against every one of these things
WhyY Because there was no justification
on earth FOR putting a tax on cement.
More cement is procured in the Senator
(Mr. Townsend's) own State of Michigan
than is produced anywhere in the world
100000 barrels in one year, according
to my recollection-and we imported only
some five or ten thousand barrels of il in
year. What excuse was there for put
ting tax on cement None on earth Who
profits by that tax? You shut out imports
you put money in the pockets of the Cement
Trust; you took it out of the pocket of
everybody who bures his dead; you tax
them even in the grave. Cement is used
in preparing graves for the dead. Cement
is used for many purposes about the yard,
building walk ways from the gate to the
doorstep to enable the people to keep out
of the mud You have made it impossible
for them 10 do that now. Under the reign
Of the Republican party you have made
them unable to buy shoes. and now you
are making them walk barefooted through
the mud from the gate to the doorstep by
your tax on cement. [Lauehter.l
The farmer uses cement to make pig
trouehs, chicken troughs. hog troughs. cat
tie troughs, horse troughs, mule troughs,
little bridges over the branches and over
the creeks, and in constructing the roads
that lead from farm to market.
