nord1ng the tiny flame down toward
the floor, he made out two prone
bodies. One, that of the first man he
had struck down, a man whom he
knew by name as Lefty Devine, a
brawler and boon companion of Quin-
nion. The other Quinnion himself
Devine lay very still, clearly COM

little.
Carson's weather-beaten face peered
in at the window.
Better do the hot foot, Bud" he
grunted softly, while the trails
open. Steve will be mixing in again"
But Lee seemed in no haste now.
When the match had burned out, he
dropped it and slipped fresh cartridges
into his gun. That done, he stopped,
gathered up Quinnion's feebly strug-
Cling body in his arms and carried it
to the window.
Here" he said coolly to Carson.
"Take him through"
Carson obeyed, jerking the now
complaining Quinnion out hastily and
unceremOniOusly. Lee followed as
Steve threw open the barroom door.
It's q new one on me, just the

watched Lee stoop and gather Quin-
MON up in his arms. after a little
party like this one, I'm generally trav-

Bud?"
While Carson was Cudgeling his
brains for the answer and Steve was
making cautious examination of the
card room, Lee with his burden in his
arms passed through the darkness ly-
ing at the rear of the saloon and out
into the street Carson followed to
take care Of a sortie should Steve and
the rest not have had all they wanted
for one night. He chuckled, remark
ing to himself that Bud Lee and Quin-
nion were the very picture of young
mother and her babe in arms.
Not until they again reached the
Golden Spur did Lees burden COM
pletely recover consciousness. Many
a man on the street looked wonder
ingly after them, demanded to know
"what was up" and, receiving no an
swer, swung In behind Carson.
In the Golden Spur the arrivals
were greeted by a heavy silence.

Lees face told them nothing.
Where is he?' he asked presently.

Lee turned and went out, Carson
at his heels, all eyes following him.
In his heart was a blazing, soaring
rage. And that rage was not for Quin-

he had seen her that very night
graceful, gray-eyed slip of girl, the

OPPOSES JAPANESE
EXCLUSION CLAUSE
Hughes Writes Johnson Ask
ing Adoption Of Ger.
tificate Plan.

The administration does not want
the japanese exclusion provision in
the Johnson immigration bill, and. in
the interest of international rela-
tions, strongly urges elimination
of 1t.
In a letter to Chairman Johnson
Of the House immigration committee,
made public yesterday at the State
Department. Secretary Hughes sub
mitted a. substitute for the exclusion
proposals. suggesting that the immi
grant certificate plan now in the bill
to provide for selection abroad be
made applicable to Japanese nation
ais Active operation of the Jap
anese government in carrying out
this plan and also in preventing sur
reptitiouS entry Of Japanese was to
be expected, Mr.. Hughes added.
Opposed to Change
Chairman Johnson, however, pre-
dicted that Mr.. Hughes letter would
not change the committee's view that
the exclusion provision should re-
main in the bill. He eaid that four
teen of the seventeen members of tee
committee had approved the provi-
sion. adding that his own stand in
favor of that provision had not been
changed.
IF the suggestion Of Secretary
Hughes means that immigration is
to be arranged only By treaty feel
pretty sure that the committee will
not accept It," Mr.. Johnson declared.
Following publication Of the letter
to Chairman Johnson a series OF
White House conferences were held
on the questions involved. Mr. John
son first discussed the subject with
President Coolidge and then with
Secretary Hughes. Later the Presi-
dent saw Secretary Hughes in the
same connection, and still later talked
with Secretary Davis Of the Labor
Department. At the conclusion Of
these various conferences, tho ad-
ministration viewpoint on the Japa
nese angle of the inmigrat ton bill
was summed up as follows In Mr.
Hughes letter:
Il am unable to perceive that the
exclusion provision is necessary, and
I must strongly urge upon you the
adviSability, III the interest of our in
ternational relations. of eliminating
