HOOSIER BOSS OPPOSES
WET PLANK AND CANDIDATE

Tom Taggart, Indiana's Democratic
boss, says he is not in sympathy with
Murphy, Tammany's head, in wanting
wet plank in the party platform next
year and wet candidate. Taggart
thinks such a course would make it
more difficult for the Democrats to
win if it would not indeed make it
impossible. Taggart is for Senator
Ralston of his state for candidate for
the presidency. On one point Tag
ga-t and Murphy are agreed, and that
is their opposition to McAdoo. That
gentleman is too dry to suit either.

But it seemed short. Gale had the
upper position, farthest to the right,
and therefore was best shielded from
possible fire from the higher ridges
of the rim, some three hundred yards
distant. Jim came next, well hidden
In a crack. The positions of Thorne
and Ladd were most exposed. They
kept sharp lookout over the uneven
rampant of their hiding-place.
Suddenly the dead stiffness was
rent by a shot, clear and singing,
close at hand. 1t was from a rifle,
not a carbine. With startling quick
ness a cry followed-a cry that
pierced Gale-it was so thin, so high
keyed, so different from all other
cries. 1t was the involuntary human
Shrek of death.
"Yaqui's called out another pard-
ner." said Jim Lash, laconically.
Carbines began to crack. The re-
ports were quick, light, like sharp
spats without any ring. Gale made

hot breech. "Listenl Jim an Yaqui

I'll sneak down there. You stay here
an keep about half an eye peeled up
yonder, an keep the rest my way"
There seemed a lull in the battle.
Gale ventured to stand high, and,
screened behind choyas, he swept the
th~ree-quarter circle of lava with his
glass. In the distance he saw horses,
but no riders. Below him, down the
slope along the crater rim and the
trail, the lava was bare of all except
tufts of choya. Gale gathered assur-

That Lash, the coolest, the most

It was a full moment before Jim's
companions could locate the Indian.

self along with incredible rapidity.
His advance was all the more remark
able for the fact that he appeared to
pass directly under the dreaded cho-

head and look.

deliberately backed away from his pc
