They were off on the Black Trail

tempestuous minutes they Travelled
the down grade, with Black Top cast
ing a long shadow before them.
Keep your eye peeled for that

green coulee through which a tiny
stream trickled.
Its queer about that road. but
can't seem to find it," Sally con-
fessed after a while.
Sally glanced at the watch that
was strapped to her wrist and caught
her breath.
do you know that it's after 6
o'clock?" she cried.
He bent over to examine the
watch, then produced his own,

He was plunging forward again,

We're headed in exactly the
wrong direction. We're going south,

We'll, we've got to go south IN

"But-but-"

road was still very far away. They
had been on the road since noon.

how many miles they had wasted

fenced me to year in Jail and
81, 600 fine.
The Governor corrected all the
aobve with pardon. saying that the
whole proceeding was "a blot on the
State and a disgrace to the good
people thereof"
The Supreme Court affirmed the
validity of the pardon and 1 pre-
sumed the incident closed However,
I continued to attack Leahy, trying
to draw him into suing me for libel,
where I could get some one else on
the bench. He SHE'D at this.
Two weeks ago Leahy set for trial
on July % one of these contempt
cases which he had continued in
definitely a year ago. I wrote a story
announcing the setting and saying
that Il have as much chance with
Leahy as a lamb has with a butch
er." This later was comment on
a pending case and drew a new CT
tation for contempt
Changes Tactics
When the case came UP Leahy an
nounced that he would change MS
ruling of a year ago that the truth
of the statement would constitut
defense. He held the articles to be
contemptuous even If true.
This left me defenseless. He didn't
ike the publicity regarding his cor
rupt practices. 1 stood mute. He
found me guilty, Of course. He
then asked me if cared to give any
reason why 1 should not be pun
ished.
1 replied simply and courteously:
Il deny that this is a court or
that 1 am being accorded due proc
ess Of law"
He at once declared that state
ment a direct contempt He SEN
fenced me to from ninety days to six
months on each case, and I'm here
and will stay here before I will re
cede.
Now, what is the net result on the
public generally? The Contempt
law as it has grown up affords the
courts a short route to deny
change Of judge; the right to have
a grand jury first accuse you; the
right Of a presumption Of innocence;
trial by jury, or to be confronted by
your accusers. The courts have
found a way to take away by a
court ruling the 6o0-year-old guaran-
tees Of free men and all American
constitutional rights.
denv that sIIch Is Yba law and
will fight such pretensions to the
death.
Probably no one else in the United
States has as hard-boiled a situation
to deal with as have, but if the
rule stands judges can control

freedom will be gone.
If newspapers abuse their free.
dom in the discussion of pending
cases they should be indicted and
tried exactly like any other crimi-
nails. That might not help me
much in San Miguel County, but
under most circumstances it would
afford the corrective effect Of a
jury and an impartial judge.
Accompanied by the usual rules
II change Of venue and presump-
ton Of innocence this kind of a
newspaper offender would be on as
favorable a legal footing as a
murderer or a rapist.
Even a newspaper man should be
entitled to that much consideration.

The trail got worse, as most of
them do. 1t wound and climbed in

of the rises, Sally was wont to
check her horse long enough for a
sweeping view of billowing range,
bench land and the stern figure of
Black Top, which was their nearest
mountain. Black Top was not a
very high mountain, but, standing
curiously alone in the range coun-

chances for speed.
They had come to the end of a
long, twisting descent, which he vol
planed with amazing abandon, when
Sally ventured a comment
How do you get it up again when

disappointment that he gave her.

az M a nervous wreck" he
told Dad Morgan and the
- family. i've got insomnia
and things like that. I look healthy,
but don't let it fool you. I'm a
wreck"
1t seemed that his doctor, back in
Pittsburgh, diagnosed him, and he
believed the doctor. He had been
working too hard; he was on edge
all the time. He was not very old,
but the city was killing him. Any
thing that savored Of excitement was
in fair way to put an end to
him.
What you need" said the doctor,
sis a long trip somewhere, by your
self. Cut out the cities; dodge the
towns. Buy yourself a f1ivver and
strike out for the wild west. That's
the only place where a man can
lead a quiet life in these days.
Dad Morgan allowed that the doc
tor was right; but the Wreck said
no, the doctor was a liar. The west
had not been nearly SO quiet as
promised.
But it seemed that the Wreck
liked the BARN.. He stayed and
stayed, and appeared to think they
ought to be grateful to have a pay
ing boarder- Dad and Ma and Sally
were, in fact, glad to have him, for,
outside of the sheriff and a few 9th
er natives, visitors at the ranch came
seldom. Besides, the Wreck was
something of a curiosity, and when
he did not talk about his nerves he
could tell interesting tales of the
east, which nobody but Sally be-
lieved. She had been as far as Chi
cago, so that she had something to
judge by.

Because If you have" added the
Wreck, IN remind you that 1 drove
all the way from Pittsburgh without
getting lost. And If you think you
can lose me in a little -by-nothing
prairie, you'll have to guess some
more"
"Oh, drive orr exclaimed Sally.
He did drive on, expertly and fu-
riously. She cast hopeless glance
at the low ridges that seemed to
have sprung up on all sides and
frowned enxiously. Perhaps the
Wreck was not lost, but Sally was
quite certain that she was.

He stamped his foot on one Of the

Sally held tight and smiled. She en-

besides, she figured that she could
jump clear as soon as 1t became nee
essary.
Not until the trail was shrunken
to a mere path among rocks ard

out and went ahead for recomnais-
