CHAPTER VI-Continued

-
"What did you doY' asked Garrett,
not sure how far interest should be
pushed.
The killer looked at him out of
bleak. unfathomable eyes. 81 decided
FL Paso was no place for me-"
That was all. O'Hara was left to
guess what had made him so decide.
They rode down the dusty main
street Of Concho to the Steelman store.
Pat Mccarthy came forward to meet
them, his face as usual hard and
wooden. He offered them liquor.
Quantrell took drink and departed.
There was Mexican girl in town he
wanted to see.
He turned before he left the office
to say. "Better stick around here till
get back. O'Hara. l saw Shep head
in into the Gold Nugget as we
passed"
II saw him, too. Bob. I'm not look.
ing for him. My business won't take
me into the Gold Nugget"
sd stay right in this office till get
back. Won't be gone more'n a couple
hours" Quantrell was plainly little
uneasy about leaving him.
Don't worry, Bob. I'll be here
when you come back" his employer
promised.
Into the store presently came Steve
W0rrall. He sat down in the office
and chatted with Mccarthy and
O'Hara. The proprietor was called
out ny clerk.
At once Worrall freed his mind.
"You armed, O'Hara?"
''Yes. Any reason for asking me
that right now?"
Il just came from the Gold Nugget.
Shep Sanderson an the Texas Kid
were in there drinkin'. I'd be careful
II I were you. The Kids been mean
ever since you shot him up"
whats the Kid like?"
"Got bad rep. I've heard say he's
killer but yellow. May be nothin'
to that. I'd lay off him an Shep.
too. Thought I'd drop in an tell you.
Better stay here in the store. Where's
Bob Quantrell?"
Il don't know" There was a flicker
Of sardonic smile in CARROTS ewes.
III that boy wants me to look after
him he'd better stay closer. Other.
wise | can't be responsible for what
happens to him. Come on. Steve. I've
got to go to the post office"
Worrall hesitated for a fraction of
second then rose promptly. He had
warned his friend. That was as far
as he could go. On the frontier every
man must play his own hand.
Brad Helm, the fat hotel keeper,
was in the post office. He nodded
toward Worrall and O'Hara, got his
mail. and as he passed out said in q
wheezy voice audible to everybody
present. There's a letter for you ut
the hotel, Mr.. O'Hara. 1t says I'm.
portant' ON it."
Passing the Concho house a few
minutes later, Steve and Garrett
dropped in to get the letter. Helm
Unanswered the latter into corner
of the room and whispered a word OF
warning.
"Shep an the Texas Kid are layin
for you. They're givin' you an hour to
leave town."
"Much obliged. I've been looking
for this letter."
Garrett and his friend stepped out
to the sidewalk.
"Come on down to the corral with
me-" Steve proposed.
mot now. You come to the COLD
Nugget with me-"
The long man flung quick looE
at him. o'Hara's eyes were shining
with excitement

Treatment of Burns

In every home where there are chill
dren the medicine closet should con-
tain a good remedy for burns. 1t Is
advisable to always have on hand a
bottle OF olive oil and bottle of lime
water. When mixed in equal proper
tions this is one of the best remedies
for burns that is known. Saturate
cloths with the solution and cover the
burn.

y. G.. Naval Reserve

transferred to the naval reserve after
serving 16 and 20 years, respectively,
in the active service Of the regular
Navy.
Admiral Upham says that members
of the Glass FL reserve are young men
living in the vicinity of a naval reserve
organization who are interested in the
Navy and wish to become afhliated
with it. Glasses F-2, F-3 and F-4 are
ex-service men who voluntarily join
the reserve at the expiration Of q Pc
Rod of active service.
The members of the Glass FL, he
says, receive their training at regular
drill periods, about AZ such drills be-
ing held each year. These drills last
for a period of about one hour and a
half, during which time the men are
given instruction paralleling, in so far
ceive If actually on board ship. Each
year cruise of two weeks duration
is held, and as many men as possible
from the reserve take this cruise Dur
ing the cruise they are on active duty
and perform the same duties as men Of
their rating in active service.
Members of classes F-2, F-3 and
"a have already served at least one
enlistment in the Navy and are sea-

attend any drills nor to make any
training cruises.
The bureau chief declares that the
department conducts correspondence
course in navigation, which Is avail
able to all officers of the naval reserve
and to enlisted men who are studying
to take an examination for commits
sion. Reservists take this course volun-
tarily and are required to provide
themselves with the necessary text
books tables, ETC., at their own ex-
penSe. -Four hundred and sixty-five re-
servists have applied for the course
thus far.
Applicants for aviation training at
Pensacola are given their primary in
struction at one of the following four
Mass; Valley Stream, N. Y; Great
Lakes, ILL.,, or Sand Point, Wash. Upon
completion of this training successful
applicants are sent to Pensacola and
given exactly the same training as Is
given to officers of the regular service.
Upon completion of the course at
Pensacola, these applicants are COM
missioned as enSignS in the reserve
and sent to the feet for a further
training period of one year. Upon
completion of their training in the
feet they are returned to inactive
duty. Between so and 10. officers are
completing the Pensacola course an
nually During the year 81 reserve Of
ficers were kept on training duty in
the fleet
He asserts that the revised syllabus
and method of training at Pensacola
resulted in an increase in the per-
centage of officers qualified for aviation
duties, as was the case with the regular
officers and enlisted men.

Natures Tribute to Taft.

Natures tribute to William Howard
Taft at the hour Of his burial yester-
day was dramatic. A storm cloud gath.
cred and broke Is the cortege passed
from the Capitol. A gale swept across
the city, driving full into the faces Of the
soldiers and sailors forming the escort
The skies were lurid with the sureinE
clouds. Throughout the period of cere-
nnonial preparation and the services at
church and the progression to Arling-
ton the storm prevailed. Then, Just as
the last rites were performed as the
volley OF rife shots rang out, as TAPS"
was sounded, the Western sky lightened
and the rays of the sun appeared again.
washington has witnessed many Inn
pressive spectacles upon occasions of
public rejoicing and public mourning.
But never before has there been quite
SO profoundly stirring a scene as that
OF the march westward Of the escort
accompanying the body of the late
President and Chief Justice along
Pennsylvania avenue. The wet pave
ment reflected the forms Of the troops
and musicians as they breasted the gale
and with difnculty maintained their
ranks. The guidons Of the units Of the
soldiery whipped in stin lines. The
eerie light Of the storm hidden sun
played upon the cortege TO give 1t an
aspect Of unreality. And the tnrobbing
notes Of the funeral hymns to which
the escort marched seemed to come
from an infinite distance.
It was q scene for q great painter,
such genius Of the brush, perhaps, as
Jean Baptiste Detaille, whose work in
depletion Of incidents of war in France
stands out pre-eminently for its drama
and stirring effect. The long, straight
avenue, with It's background of Capitol
facade and dome, the leadess trees
bending before the gale, the moving
shadows upon the rain-drenched pave
ment, the slaSting lines of falling wa
ter, the steady advance of the escort,
the pulSing rhythm of the march-a
picture never TO be forgotten, perhaps
some day to be preserved in art!
And yet the memory Of william How
ard Taft, taken thus to his last rest
ing place through the storm, is one of
serenity, OF bleSsedness and Of love.
Natures tribute to him was one Ct
poignant grief.

making Of fake sale with the intent
Of dipping an innocent buyer Of prop.
erty as to Its value.
II. L. Rust, ST., prominent local mort
gage banker. contended at the hearing
that this simulated transaction clause
was 50 generally worded that legitimate
business as well as an act Of nisrepre-
sentation might be subjected to serious
harassment, trouble and litigation.
II was pointed out also by Mr.. Petty
that the use of straw" parties or
agents of a buyer of property at times
is necessary In the assembling OF large
sites for new developments, where pieces
of property in the site to be acquired,
owned by q number of persons, could
not be purchased at q reasonable ngure
II all knew who was buying up the par
cells and for what purpose. The Dis
trict and Federal Governments know Of
the dificulty of assembling large sites
at reasonable prices.
If this clause would work undue
hardship on legitimate business, it GER
tainly should be reworded or even left
out of the license measure. The effec-
tiveness of the measure would not suffer
to any great extent.
The bill is designed primarily to pro-
vide q definite, positive means of rur-
ming the rascals out of the local field.
A code of unfair practices Is set up In
the bill, favored both by the realtors
and by Mr.. Brinkman, under which q
dealers license could first be suspended
and later revoked after public hearing.
Other drastic measures are also favored.
The House District committee, under
the able guidance Of Acting Chairman
Mcleod Of Michigan, who has displayed
a real interest in District affairs, should
promptly report out well considered
license measure.
