WHAT THEY THINK OF OUR TOM

COME folks boast that they don't
care what other people think of
them. But it is important, after all.
And it is just as important that COM
munities and states have good names.
What do folks elsewhere think of
Georgia? Go outside the state once
and it won't take you long to get an
idea these days. For Senator Tom
Watson is gaining reputation up and
down the land, and the name of
Georgia is being linked indissolubly
with him. Here is sample of what
is being said and talked outside of
Georgia. 1t comes from the Kansas
City Star, one of the worlds greatest
newspapers, with a circulation of
more than 225,0O0 twice day, in
dependent in politics, fearless, and
ultra conservative in style and ap-
peal. Says the Star:
| 1T is difficult to see what the sem
ate committee hearing Senator Wat
| sons charges against army discipline
in France can establish, except that
a dozen or more men were hanged
there for crimes committed and that
already has been established by the
report of the judge advocate general
| to the war department.
No doubt it is very effective for
the purposes of the senator from
Georgia to bring out testimony to
show that three bodies exhumed fol
| shipment to the United States were
! found with hangmen's nooses around
their necks, but it doesn't add any
thing to the known facts. That is
the same sort of evidence as the pho
| tograph of gallows that Senator
Watson waved in the senate. The
4 gallows proved nothing except that
criminals were hanged, which is the
san-e thing the pieces of'rope around
Ibhct iiNSho VI TIC ldIlSCu PROVE.
""These things needed no proof,
of course. The records of the hang
ings are in the war department and
have been produced and read in the
senate. The gallows and the rope
| ends have no bearing on the Watson
charge that men were hanged without
trial, and that men were shot down
by their officers for trivial offenses.
'The Georgia senator is a lawyer,
and has Informed the senate, in eff
feet, that he is a terror at the Geor-
gia bar. Maybe so, but if he can
make stick in Georgia the kind of
evidence he is offering to the senate
committee, then Georgia juries are
easily impressed.

hadn't thought of itsbefore-iust to
lie still, face close to the dirt. It
panied him to breathe; his eyes
throbbed and burned, but at least it
was life. Then all was confused
oblivion.
When Bill wakened again, the last
pale glimmer of the lighted smoke
was gone.
The fire had evidently burned
down and out.
His fumbling hands encountered
the log walls; then he CROPPED about
till he>>found the plank door. His
hands smarted, but their sense of
touch. did not seem hunted.
He had never known a darker
night
Hisgmuscles were more atehis COM
mand now; with a great lurch he
sprangsup and thrust head and shout
ders through the hole in. the door.
The hot ashes punished his face
and his hand encountered hot Goals
as he Thrust them through. Yet
with mighty effort he pushed on
until his wrists touched the icy
snow. He knew that he was safe.
He stood erect, scarcely believing
in his deliverance.
The wind still blew the snow dust
IA singing lash from the north and
west.
1t was curious that cloudy night
could. be So cold Yet he could not
see the CLEAN of star.
Thefcoals of the fire, too, were
obscured and smothered in ashes. He
stepped toward them, intending to
rake them up for such heat as they
could yield.
Presently he halted, gazing with
fascinated horror at the ground,
He was suddenly struck with q
CHASTITY and terrible possibility
His hand CROPPED for a match.
He heard it crack in the silence
but evidently it was a dud! The
darkness before his eyes remained
unbroken.
Filled with sick fear, he removed

in view for his prospecting; he had
simply come to search for the same
lost mine that Bill had. discovered
the previous day.
He knew now why Kenly Louns-
bury had been willing to finance Vir-
ginia's trip into the North-not in
hopes of finding his lost nephew, but
to find the mine of which he also
had some knowledge.
In the same sweep Of realization he
knew why Harold Lounsburys face
had always haunted him and filed
him with hazy, uncertain memories.
Harold Lounsbury was Ruther-
ford's son-the son of his fathers
murderer. Kenly Lounsbury was
Rutherford's brother.
All at once the smoke from the fire
began to pour in upon him, choking
his lungs and filling his eyes with
tears.
XVII.
For moment Bill gave little at
tention to the deepening clouds of
pungent, biting wood smoke that the
wind, suddenly shifting, whipped in
through the hole he had cut in the
door.
This was the most bitter moment
of his life, and he was lost and re-
mote in his dark broodings. The
smoke didn't matter.
The fight for life no longer seemed
worth while.
The smoke deepened in the cabin.
1t seemed to be affecting his power
to stand erect. He tried to think of
some way to save himself; his mind
was slow and dull.
he knew that he couldn't get out
of the cabin.
There was only little hole. in the
door; to crawl through it, inch BY
inch as he had entered, would sub
Ject him to the full fury of the
afimes.
Meanwhile the fire burned higher.
the wind blew the clouds of smoke
from the green wood through the
hole as if it were high pressure
steam.
1t soon was impossible for Bill
TO see-even to hold his eyes open,
the cruel smoke tortured them so.
1t ever a man We're caught in a
terrible trap of his own making that
man was Bill Bronson.

the door away. His hand fumbled at
his belt. But he remembered now;
he had leftshis ak outside the cabin.
its blade thrust into the spruce log
that had supplied his fuel.
Suddenly he saw himself face, to
face with seemingly certain death.
The smoke clouds were swiftly and
surely strangling him. Already his
consciousness was departing. He
leaped for the opening again and
fell sprawling on the dirt floor. He
started to spring up
But he suddenly grew inert,
breathing deeply. There was still air

"You can claim half of it," Harold
was whispering eagerly into Vir-
ginia's ear. you were with Bill
when he found it,"
Il can-but won't" she replied,
coldly.
Gold, gold, gold" he whispered to
himself. Heaps and heaps of it
what I've always hunted. And Bill
had to find it. That devil had to walk
right into it,"
He was sickened by the thought
that except for his own cowardice he
would have accompanied them into
the den. Then he would have been
in position to claim half the mine
and get it, too.
He found a match. The white
skeleton lay just at his feet.
He drew back, startled, but in
stantly regained his poise. He knelt
with unexplcable intentness. He
too, saw the CHASTITY wound and its
grim connection with the rusted pick.
And he bent slowly, like a man who
is trying to control an unwonted
eagefness, lifting the pick in his
arms.
Oh, it was easy to handle and lift !!
Now naturally it swung in his arms!
What deadly blow the cruel point
could infiict!

Bill made plans for an early start
to hissTwenty-three Mile cabin.
I'll leave before dawn-as soon as
it gets gray" he, told Virigia as he
babe her good night. "Ill come back
the next day with backload of
supplies. And with the little we

He CROPPED for it, found it at last;

and the heart of the man raced and
thrilled and burned.

crunching on the white crust. The

way to his destination. The food sup
plies had to be secured sooner or
later; and when the Chinook comes
no man knows when it will go away.
He mushed on through the softening
snow.
The truth suddenly dawned upon
him that he was face to face with
one of the most uncomfortable situa-
tons of all his years in the forest.
He didn't believe he would be able
to make the cabin before the fall of
night.
His woodsman's senses predicted a
bitter night.
Through the black hours he would
have to fight off sleep so that he
could mend the fire and cut fuel.
Late afternoon; already the sha-
dows lay, strange and heavy in the
distant tree aisles And all at once
he paused, thrilled, in his tracks.
A little way to the east, on the
bank of a small creek, his father and
his traitorous partner had once had
a mining claim--a mine they had
tried unsuccessfully to operate before
Bronson had made his big strike.
They had built small cabin, and
for nearly thirty years it had stood
moldering and forgotten.
Exultant and thankful, Bill turned
in his tracks and mushed over to-
ward it
There was plenty of heart break
ing work to do when Bill finally
reached the little cabin. He couldn't
force open the door, so he hacked a
hole in it through which ne entered.
After looking about he turned to
his toll of making a fire just outside
the hole.
Tired out, he climbed inside again
and lay down on the dry dirt, put
ting his arm under his head
All at once he was aware that his
eyes were fastened upon an old cigar
box on a shelf against the wall.
AS he reached to seize it, he had a
distinct premonition of misfortune.
1t contained a single photograph.
1t was typical old-fashioned
photograph-two men standing in
stiff and awkward poses in an old
fashioned picture gallery-printed in
the tinfe-worn way.
I One Of the men was his own
father. And he stared at the other
face-a rather handsome, thin-lip-
ped, sardonic-eyed face-as if he
were looinkg at a ghost.
Great God," he cried. cts Har-
old Lounsburyw
But instantly he knew it could
not be Harold Lounsbury. Already
he knew. 1t was no other than
Rutherford, the man who slew his
father.
His deductions followed with dead
ly and remorseless certainty. He
knew now why Harold Lounsbury
had come into Clearwater. Virginia
had told Bill that her lover had
seemed to have some definite place
