subserviently perform under the whips of powerful special inter ests. Too many judges have dis closed that their halo was of malodorous smoke.
 The trend of popular apprais- al of the judiciary is most dan- Gerous. The U. s. Supreme Court should be held in the highest respect, honor and con- f1dence by all, since it has the final say as to what our gov- ernment shall be. Yet the -lsulpations and maladminis- trations of all the inferior courts reflect upon that supreme body and seriously impair the honor and confidence in which it should be held.
 But the progressing decadence of honor and confidence in the judiciary, the progression that must ultimately result in pos- tive hatred of courts and laws, can be stopped by the judiciary, and should be. Observe what the human animal, en masse, has always done to pedestals found to be rotten and halos found to be frauds. It should not be necessary for Congress and the state legislatures to curb tho judiciary. Put a sharp bit in a horses mouth and you certainly impair the worth and character of the horse. The very fact that there is any necessity, any widespread demand to curb the judiciary should be sufh- cient notice to the judiciary to curb itself, or otherwise dem- Cnstrate it's entitlement to pub- lie respect and confidence.

kind OF queer, grave courtesy, half

seemed to be weighing me up, specu-

whereas he had implicit faith in my
mother from the first moment. A set

clearly afraid of it. He would begin a

care of his umbrella.
1t is not easy to describe the erect
of the announcement, by man with
head cropped as his was that he
had secret of apparently momentous
value in an old black bag.
Even my mother was taken back for
moment. But she recovered her
aplomb.
"Oh?" said she. Tom will see to
things, Cousin John"
Thank you, Mrs. Grenofen. You
ask no questions. You take me on

And then our common aversion from
loquacity came into play.
Cousin John came down in quarter
of an hour, with his beard shaved and
the refreshment of hot water upon him.
1t had made a great difference, in spite
of the cropped head. Even the hunted
expression of his eyes had declined q
little. He apologized for his appetite.

entered the room she poured my coffee,
then handed me the newspaper and
said:
I'll leave you now. I shall be in the
garden"
This was unusual. I OWNED some in
tention. AS soon as opened the paper,
I saw it. She wanted me to reflect be-
fore exclaiming.
The paper contained a short and ex-
tremely sketchy account of the affair at
Newplace Abbey-the shooting of Pell

marauder who had half murdered Prof.
Laxton before wholly numbering Pell.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Congress
again Is investigating the federal gov
ernment's treatment Of the Indians.
Preliminary evidence indicates the
probability that major scandal may
be uncovered.
It has not attracted much public
attention. partly because the business
Ut robbing and mistreating Indians is
an old story and especially because
there are few pale faces who care.
But from time to time indisputable
evidence has been produced that
many Indians were being subjected
to what, in view OF the treatment
they were theoretically supposed to
receive, might fairly be described as
atrocities.
John Collier, executive secretary Of
the American Indian Defense Associa-
tion has recently called the story an
"agOnizing tragedy" asserting that
with some exceptions general condi-
lions among the Indians were
marked by colossal loot and Incl
dental race massacre induced by
homicidal indifference and ineffectu-
alness from those charged with their
care"
It developed at the Senate commit
tees current Indian investigation that
only the interposition Of Secretary of
the Interior Work and Attorney Gen.
eral Sargent kept Department Of
Justice prosecutors from seeking an
indictment against Burke, commits
sioner Of Indian affairs, for his part
in the famous Jackson Barnett case.
Proposed action against Burke was
called off in July and nothing was
done about 1t until the first Of this
year. Following public testimony as
to what happened. the case has been
placed In other hands within the JUS
tice Department and whether any

Harry Blaine's prophecy to Crystal
Hathaway-Youll soon wake up out
Of this nightmare, honey"-did not
come true quite SO soon as he ex-
pected. In fact. for an anxious five
days those who haunted the hospital
waiting room for bulletins on the
girls condition feared that Crystal
would never wake up.
When Harry Blaine returned to
Peter Holidays shack that Wednes-
day night, after making his three
telephone calls-to the hospital at
Darrow. since it was the nearest; to
the police and to Bob Hathaway-he
found that his patient had sunk into
q fever stupor. Her stertorous breath
ing told him as plainly as a doctors
diagnosis could have done that pneu-
monia had developed.
AS soon as he had seen the uncon-
scious girl made as comfortable as
possible in private room of the OAR
row City Hospital, the young reporter
who had kicked ethics aside in order
to protect friend from everlasting
disgrace hurried back. as fast as he
could drive. to Peter Holidays shack.
Although Stanton was seventy five
miles away and Darrow twenty five,
the police had time to arrive from
Stanton before Harry could return
from the hospital.
He found the two-room shack and
the surrounding grounds alive with
uniformed men, plainclothes detec-
tives headed by Mcguire, and sheriffs
from both Darrow and Marlboro
County, Of which Stanton was the
:ounty seat.
Hello. Maguire!" Harry greeted

day, after Bob Hathaway had turned
over the ransom letter to the police.
I've just come from the hospital.

I'm afraid. Unconscious now"
Cant talk, I guess?" Mcguire
scowled, as he stood studying the lit
ter of magazines, writing materials
and dishes on the table in the middle
of the main room of the shack. but
you said you got some sort of story
out of her. Any description of the
kidnappers?"
There was only one. and Crystal
did not see him." Harry FASTENED to
inform the detective for whose
ability he had vast respect-and fear,

time she stepped into the room and
was seized by the man who'd broken

temporary home"
Waltz Mcguire interrupt d
sharply. she wasn't kidnapped
then? she asked to be admitted?'
If you put 1t like that. don't
suppose she actually was kidnapped.
Harry Blaine admitted, with a mar
velous imitation of reluctance. "She
was held a prisoner here, though.
Too bad she never got glimpse of
the scoundrel'S face. I'm afraid,
chief, you haven't much to go on.
