NOT j. YET 7 At END
EFFORT FAILS TO INSURE
VOTE TODAY OUTCOME
RESTS ON FINAL POSITION
TO BE TAKEN BY SEVERAL
SENATORS

Washington, Jan. 12.-The hgh'
in the senate over the right of Tru-
man n. Newberry (Republican) Of
Michigan to seat in that, body
which has been contested by Henry
Ford, his opponent in the 1918 cleo
tion, continued in all Of its in
tensity today. When the session
ended tonight predictions Of the
outcome generally were held in
abeyance, 80 uncertain had the re-
suit become. It was agreed among
leaders that the outcome. rested on
the final position to be taken by
fewer than half a dozen senator's,
who's attitude has not been disclose.
ed.
, Hopes for a vote today were
dashed early by last minute de-
mands Of senators desiring more
time to speak. Even an attempt by
Senator Spencer (Republican) of
Missouri who is leading the New
berry supporters to obtain an
agreement to vote at 4 o'clock to-
morrow was blocked, Senator King
{Democrat) of. Utah objecting. Mr..
King suggested the agreement
might be entered into tomorrow if
brought up then. " g..
The introduction of two new res
olutions dealing with Mr.. New
berry's right to seat also compli-
Gated efforts to bring their the con-
troversy to close and deferred
agreement on a possible voting
time. As a result of the new reso-
lutions being put in, those senators
whose time had been exhausted un-
der the hour of limitation imposed
by unanimous consent, again could
gain the floor and several took ad-
vantage Of the opportunity. +
z The resolutions. brought in today
both to declare the seat vacant
we're by Senators owen of Okla
homa and Walsh Of Montana, Dem
ocrats. HI. O#ensad he had sought
to eliminate all disputed points in
the controversy so that the senate
could determine solely whether it
was sound public policy that such
large amoants of money should be
expended in q campaign. Mr..
Walsh's resolution represented a
recasting of his original proposition
declaring the seat vacant but re-
drafted "to express in frmest tone'
. statement Of the senate's views
with respect to the welfare of the
nation, when large sums of money
are used in campaign election.
The possibility of a move by the
Democrats to seek the recommit the
whole case to the senate elections
and privileges committee temporari-
Iy set aside during the day, was
talked of again after the close of
the debate, No decision was report
ed, however, as to whether such a
motion should be made. Leaders
said tonight that further informal
conferences would be held among
the Democrats before the senate
meets tomorrow.

CHAPTER ViI-Continued.

"Nothin' dom, old-timer. This is
my job, and | don't reckon I'll let any
body else tackle it. Much obliged,
Just the same. You're one sure
enough white man, Johnnie"
The little fellow knew that the mat
ter was settled. Clay had decided and
what he said was final. But John
mie worried about 1t all the way. At
the last moment, when they separated
at the street corner, he added one last
word.
Don't you be too venturesome, son.
II them guys got you it sure would
break me all up"
Clay smiled cheerfully. They're
not goin' to get me, Johnnie. Don't
forget to remember not to forget yore
part. Keen under cover for thirty min
utes; then If l haven't shown up,
holler yore head off for the cops"
They were passing an alley as Clay
finished speaking. He slipped into its
friendly darkness and was presently
lost to sight. It ran into an inner
court which was the center Of tortu-
Gus passages. The cattleman stopped
10 get his bearings, selected the likeli-
est exit, and brought up in the shell
ter Of small porch. This, he felt
sure, must be the rear of the house
he wanted.
A strip of lattice work ran up the
side Of the entrance. Very carefully,
testing every slat with his weight be-
fore trusting himself to it, he climbed
up and edged forward noiselessly upon
the roof. On hands and knees he
crawled to the window and tried to
peer In
The blind was down, but he could
ace that the room was dark. What
danger lurked behind the drawn blind
he could not guess, but after q mo-
ment, to make sure that the revolver
beneath his belt was ready for In
slant use, he put his hand gently on
the sash.
His motions were soundless as the
fall of snowfiakes. The window moved
slowly, almost imperceptibly, under the
pressure Of his hands. Warily he lift
ed one leg into the room. His head
followed, then the rest Of his body.
He waited, every nerve tensed.
There came to him a sound that
sent cold finger-tips playing a tattoo
up and down his spine. 1t was the In
take of some ones cautious breathing.
His hand crept to the butt of the
revolver. He crouched, poised for
sither attack or retreat.
A bath of light flooded the room and
swallowed the darkness. Instantly
.Clay's revolver leaped to the air.

Gorilla, / wouldn't play with that club
If I was you. I'm sure h-l-a-mile
on this gunstuff. Drop It'll" The last
two words came sharp and crisp, for
the big thug had telegraphed an I'M
intentional warning of his purpose to
dive at the man behind the thirty
eight.
Gorilla Dawes fingers opened and
the blackjack dropped from his hand
to the floor.
"For the love o. Mike, who Is this
guy?" demanded one Of the other men.
I'm the fifth member Of our little
party" explained Clay.
"Wot tell do youse mean? And
what's the big idea in most KILN the
chief?"
The man who had been flung across
the table turned over and groaned.
Clay would have known that face
among thousand. 1t belonged to Jer-
ry Durand.
Il came In az the wrong door and
without announcin' myself" said the
cattlernan, almost lazily, the unhurried
fhdolence Of his manner not shaken
"You see wanted to be on time so as
not to keep you waitin'. I'm Clay
Lindsay"
The more talkative of the gunner
from the East side flashed one look
at the two automatics lying on the

floor beside the overturned table. They
might as well have been in Brazil for
all the good they were to him.
'Move over to the other side of the
room, Gorilla, and join yore two
friends" suggested the master Of cere-
monies. "And don't make any mis-
take. If you do you won't have time
to be sorry for it. I'll ce'tainly shoot
to kill"
The big-shouldered thug shuff1ed
over. Clay stepped sideways, watch
Ing the three gunner every foot of the
way, kicked the automatics into the
open, and took possession of them.
He felt safer with the revolvers in his
coat pocket, for they had been within
reach Of Durand, and that member
Of the party was showing signs of re-
turn to active interest in the proceed
ings.
when I get you right I'll croak you.
By Cd, WILL" swore the gang lead
er savagely, nursing his battered head.
mo big stiff from the bushes can
II believe you," retorted Clay easily.
''That is, believe you're tsllin' me
yore intentions straight. There's no
news In that to write home about.
But you'd better make that IL instead
Of when. This is three cracks you've
had at me and I'm still right healthy
rube."
Don't bank on fool luck any more.
I'll get you sure" cried Durand sourly.
The gorge Of the Arizonan rose.
"Mebbeso. You're a dirty dog, Jerry
Durand. From the beginning you were
rotten ighter-in the ring and out Of
it. You and yore strcng-arm men
Do you think I'm afraid Of you be-
cause you surround yoreself with dips
and yeggmen and hopnuts, all scum
Of the gutter and filth Of the earth /?
Where I come from men fight clean
and out IN the open. They'd stomp
you out like rattlesnake."
He whipped open the door, stepped
out, closed 1t, and took the key from
his pocket. A moment, and he had
turned the lock.
From within there came rush that
shook the panels. Clay was already
busy searching for Kitty. He tore
open door after door, calling her loud
ly by name. Even In the darkness he
could see that the rooms were empty
Of furniture.
There was a crash Of splintering
panels, the sound of a bursting lock.
Almost as though it were an echo of
1t came a heavy pounding upon the
street door. Clay guessed that the
thirty minutes were up and that the
Runt was bringing the police. He dived
back into one Of the empty rooms
just In time to miss a rush Of men
pouring along the passage to the stairs.
Cut of from the street, Clay took
to the roof again. It would not do for
him to be caught In the house BIZ the

CHAPTER viii
A Late Evening Call.

A young woman in an open-neck
ntghtgown sat up In bed, cascade of
black hair fallen over her white shoul-
ders. Eyes like Jet beads were fast
eened on him. In them he read indig-
nation struggling with fear.
Say, what are you anyhow moll
huzzer? If you're a porch-climber out
for the props you've sure come to the
wrong dump. got nothin' but bum
rocks"
This was Greek to Clay. He did
not know that she had asked him If he
were a man who robs women, and that
she had told him he could get no d.
Almonds there since hers were false.
The Arizonan guessed at once that
he was not In the room mentioned in
he lsttsx. He slipped his revolver

rs this house number 1912" he
asked.
"No, it's 123. What of it?"
'It's the wrong house. I'm ce'tainly
one chump"
The black eyes lit with sardonic
mockery. "Say, do I look like one
Of them born-every-m minute kind?" she
asked easily. go ahead and spring
that old one On me about how you
got tanked at the club and come in
at the window on account o. your wife
havin' temper somethin' fierce"
"No, II was lookin' for some one
else. I'm awful sorry 1 scared you.
I'd eat dirt if it would do any good,
but it won't. I'm just a plumb idiot.
I reckon I'll be pushin' on my reins."
He turned toward the window.
"Stop right there where you're at"
she ordered sharply. "Take a step
to that window and I'll holler for a
harness bull like Bowery bride get
tin wallopin' from friend husband.
I gotta have an explanation. And
who told you I was scared? Forget
that stuff. Take it from Annie that
she amt the kind that scares."
II came to see some one else, but I
got in the wrong house." he explained
again lamely.
That's twice / heard both them in
terestin' facts. Who Is this goil you
was comm through a window to see
in the middle O. the night. And what's
that gat for If 1t amt to croak some
other guy? You oughtta be ashamed
of yourself for not pullin' better
wheeze than that on me-"
Clay blushed. In spite of the
slangy impudence that dropped from
the pretty red lips the girl was slim
and looked virginia..
You're way off. I wasn't CALM
on her to" He stuck hopelessly.
"Whadya know about that?" she
came back with obvious sarcasm. "You
soitainly give me pain. I'll say you
weren't calm to arrange no Sunday
school, picnic. Listen. Look at that
wall minute, will you?'
When he turned again at her order
she was sitting on the side of the bed
wrapped in a kimono, her feet in bed
room slippers. He saw now that she
was a slender-limbed slip Of a girl.
The lean forearm, which showed bare
to the elbow when she raised it to
draw the kimonO closer round her.
told Clay that she was none too well
nourished.
1t occurred to him that she might
give him information Of value He
told her the story Of Kitty Mason. He
could see by the girls eyes that she
had jumped to the conclusion that he
was in love with Kitty. He did not
attempt to disturb that conviction. 1t
might enlist her sympathy.
Annie Millikan had never seen a
man like this before, so clean and
straight and good to look at. From
childhood she had been brought up on
the fringe of that underworld the at
mosphere of which is miasmic. She
was impressed in spite Of herself.
"Say, why don't you go into the
movies and be one Of these here screen
ideals? You'd knock 'em Dead" she
advised fiippantly, crossing her bare
ankles.
Clay laughed. He liked the insolent
little twist to her mouth. She made

CHAPTER tx
The eaneman Sees Red.

Exactly thirty minutes after Clay
had left him to break into the house
Johnnie lifted his voice in loud wall
for the police. He had read some
where that one can never find an
officer when he is wanted, but the
Bull-of-Bashan roar Of the cowpuncher
brought them running from all direc-
tons.
Out Of the confused explanations of
the range-rider the first policeman to
reach him got two lucid statements.
They're white-slavin' a straight
girl. This busher says his pal went in
to rescue her half an hour ago and
hasn't showed up aince." he told his
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1922-08-18

one strong appeal to him. This bit Of
a girl, SO slim that he could break her
In his hands, was game to the core.
He recognized it as quality Of kim
ship.
"How do you know the girl amt
a badger-worker? You wantta go slow
when you tackle Jerry Durand. ! can
tell you one thing. He's in this bust
ness up to the neck. I seen his
shadow, Gorilla Dave, comm outa the
house next door twice today"
"Seen anything of the grip
"Nope. But she may be there. Hon.
est, you're up against tough game.
Why don't you lay down on it?" she
asked, her frank eyes searching his.

Clay did his best under the handicap
Of lack Of entente between him and
the authorities to search New York
for Kitty. He used the personal coli
umns Of the newspapers. He got In
touch with taxicab drivers, ticket-sel-
lers, postmen, and station guards. All
the time he knew that in such = maze
as Manhattan it would be miracle if
he found her.
