 Dad hadn't got rid of that sense of something wrong. There was something wrong Of this he was positive. Something wrong with that game. Why couldn't he pin it down?
 Some one was standing near him. He saw it was old Pat Furie, @ prospector. Furie stuck his thumb in dads ribs. What do you want?' dad growl- led.
 "Lundy cleaned ye. huh?' he chuckled, so low that dad scarcely heard him.
 Dad told him to take himself off and mind his own affairs. Furie he-he-he'd' and stayed where he was. Plumbing dad again, he nodded significantly towards Fitch and Webb. Something in his atti- tude cautioned dad.
 "'what's wrong with you?' he muttered

Pushing up to the bar, he took a drink and asked if Lundy was still upstairs, The barkeeper said he hadn't seen him come down.
 Dad mounted the stair, forming his plan. He would call Lundys crooked play and force him to sub init the magnifying glasses and the marked cards to a committee of miners. On the strength of Lun dy's fraud, he'd then demand Uncle Jerry's release and the return of the check and the mining trans fer.
 From the top of the stair dad looked down over the hall. Fitch and Webb had come in. Burke, dad supposed, was outside. He leaned on the newel post for a moment, then he ambled over to Lundys secret room.

COUNSEL FOR FALL
Washington Attorney Returns
From Conference With Former

Back from a conference with Albert
B. Fall in FL Paso. Tex, Frank ]. Hogan
Of Washington, who successfully de-
Tended Edward L. Doheny three years
ago in the first criminal case growing
out Of the Senate oil investigation, con-
firmed reports today that he will be
chief counsel for the former Secretary
of the Interior when the latter stands
trial here October Z on charge Of ac-
cepting a 100000 bride from his "old
friend and fellow pfospector."
Denying rumorS that Fall again will
plead i'll health in an endeavor to post
pone his trial on the bribery charge, Mr..
Hogan declared today that the former
cabinet offlcer has no such intention.
when I saw Mr.. Fall a week ago in
Ell Paso, he was obviously a physically
broken man." said Hogan. Despite his
condition, however, Mr. Fall will be here
on October 2 and will not seek post
ponement on account of physical dis
ability"
After eight years of prosecution in
the civil and criminal courts, the former
Secretary of the Interior was described
as looking nearer 80 years of age than
81 and but a shadow of his former ro-
bust figure. He drags his feet when he
walks. like an old man, Mr.. Hogan said,
and his only outdoor indulgence is an
occasional drive.
Although scheduled for October z, the
first skirmish in the legal battle will
come next Wednesday in the District
Supreme Court before Justice William
Hitz, when the legal points in the
bribery case will be argued.
