Judith Of Blue Lake Ranch
By JACKSON GREGORY
By JACKSON GREGORY


"Lie down yourselfw snapped Ju-
dith. And once more her rifle spoke
with his.
For one instant, framed against the
darkening sky along the cliff edge five
hundred yards away to the right, they
saw silhouette OF man, leaping
from one boulder to another, a man
who looked gigantically big in the un-
certain light. They fired; he jumped
again and passed out of sight.
Got his nerve" grunted Lee as he
pumped lead at the running figure.
AS an answer there came the third
flash, the bullet striking the trail in
front of them. And then the fourth

to the left of the other.

tween shots. its just foolishness"

off" Bang! Bang!
They ran then, Bud slipping in
front of her, his tall body looming
darkly between her and the cliffs
whence the shots came. He slid along
the sharp slope to the plateau, putting
out his arms toward her. And as she
came down, Bud Lee grunted and
cursed under his breath. For there
had been another flash out Of the
thickening night, this one from the
refuge toward which they were run
ming. A third man was shooting from
the shelter of the cabin walls. And
Lee had felt singing pain as though
hot iron had scorched its way along
the side of his leg.
Hurt much?" asked Judith quickly.
Without waiting for an answer, she
pumped two shots at the flash by the
cabin.
"No," grunted Lee. "Just scared.
And now what? / want to know"
Bud Lee, in the thicker darkness
lying along the edge of the plateau,
sat with his back against the rocks
while he gave swift first aid TO his
wound. He brought into requisition
the knotted handkerchief from his
throat, bound it tightly around the
calf of his leg and said lightly to
Judith

Teapot Dome committee called for all
telegraph and telephone records.
Senator Thomas j. Walsh took this
step when informed Fall had received
advice from men high in the govern
ment and even, perhaps, some men,
bers of the investigating committee.
Strong indications were given that
some definite information along this
line had been discovered in the files
of telegraph companies.
The committee wants every tele-
gram addressed from Washington to
Fall and Edward B. Mclean, his host
or to any Of McLean's attaches
during their sojourn in Palm Beach
in December and January. General
managers of the local telegraph
companies were summoned for this
purpose.
Additional subpoenaes were served
today upon telephone officials for
records of long distance telephone
calls from Washington TO Palm Beach
to Fall or later while he was in New
Orleans. These subpoenaes are re-
turnable tomorrow.

leasing of the naval reserves was the
result of "a deal' made in the Black
tone Hotel, Chicago, before the late
PRECEDENT Harding was nominated as
presidential candidate.
Subpoenas probably will be issued
