honey-sweet, urging him to try his luck. He
crossed to the board, vaguely aware of some
small by-play between the two women, but
not understanding that Mary was deriving
considerable satisfaction from her gesture.
Carefully he picked one of the thousands of
checks and punched it. The folded wad of
paper held the number one thousand. and
Macks wild, inGedulous whoop of Joy pro-
claimed that the prize of prizes was his.
In triumph, with scornful glance for the
waitress, Mary escorted her excited man and
his prize to the car. Once outside, she became
again the practical wife.
Mack, she asked. that thing runs off the
battery doesn't it?"
He nodded, and she pointed out that the
ancient battery, even now, was almost run
down.

boy, I'VE won't run it much"
The man at the garage decided that he
could hang 1t on somewheres." He strung
wires and drilled holes and came at last to the
spark plugs.

Mack, they'll stop the noise from the plugs,

his hand, and it clattered violently. He
grinned. You'll have to stop her when you

He turned the switch, and they waited
hopefully until the slight hum changed to
devastating roar of static. The garage man
looked pleased and wiped his hands.

Tears were streaming down Mary's face as
she turned toward him. Her fists beat an
hysterical tattoo on the side of the car. IF -

She dried her tears and let him help her
from the car. Together they went into the
store to do their shopping, - simple, neces-
sary things; a side of bacon, flour, coffee.

shells for the 30-30, and you buy new pair

He bought the shells, and because he was
perplexed by her frantic outburst. he bought

the desert sunset and entered the towns one

plump blonde behind the counter and the

them alone, but as he saw her ignored while
the men fell upon the water bucket, a wave of
relief almost sickening in its intensity swept
over him. He knew now that the first crisis
was past, that in the course he had planned
lay their only chance for safety.
The men drank greedily, splashing their
burning faces, washing their hands. They
turned to Mary when the water pail was
empty. Mack saw his wife lift her arm to

have taken. Then she led the men into the
cabin.

A PRESS DISPATCH TELLS
OF UPSIDE DOWN STOMACH
Concerns Successful Operation
of Little Virginia Miller

An Associated Press story from
Chicago on upside down stomach,
is of interest to people here, as it con-
serns to a great extent the story of a
successful operation performed OF
little Virginia Miller, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert o. Miller, of that
city. Mrs. Miller was formerly Miss
Mary Virginia Wilson, daughter o!
Mr.. and Mrs. James Wilson, of Oak
land.

patch follows:
Diaphragmatic hernia, the malad-
justment popularity known as upside

age.
While an elderly Chicago woman
lay in a hospital recovering from a
corrective operation for the disorder
it became known that the youngest
victim of the ailment-seven-mon
old Virginia Miller also was If
Chicago.
The upside down stomach" be-
came a popular subject when 10-year-
old Alyce Jane McHenry, of Omaha

across the country to Fall River

delicate surgery.

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert o. Miller, was

Apparently normal at birth and

ROOSEVELT TO
 TAKE ROLE OF C0NCILIAT0R
Open Break Between lckesI and Hopkfn $ at
 Last Appears

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. H. President Roosevelt today went into the role of peacemaker and conclliator again.
 Secretary of Interior 1ckes IS coming here for a showdown on the Works Relief program.
 The Secretary appears concerned over the distribution of the four billion dollars of the Work Relief Funds.
 Harry L. Hopkins, EZRA Admin istrator, on the other end of the argument, believes jobs should be supplied quickly.
 Secretary Ickes believes his pro- gram for bridges and buildings should be encouraged.
 Presidents Attitude
 President Roosevelt apparently favors the proposition of making jobs quickly under the idea that Congress stipulated the four billion dollar relief fund should be spent this fiscal year. He is determined to keep the goal of getting 3,500,000 persons from relief rolls and to work by November and end the dole. He is also just as interested, it appears, to have private industry take up the unemployment slack.
 In Washington 1t became known that Hopkins rejected 2,oo0 public work projects. This was the spark which set blazing openly the long, smouldaring feud bstwe en the Works Progress Director and Sec retary Ickes.
 Real Differences
 In announcing his showdown ap- peal to the President, Ickes for the first time acknowledged publicly his differences with Hopkins.
 Ickes insisted the projects ve- toed by Hopkins were not dead but in state of suspended anima- tion.''
 The 2.000 applications involved Federal Grants Of $352, 100000 from the four billion dollar public works fund.

OLD ANGLES,
 L0NG'S LIFE,
 BROUGHT OUT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-From start to finish, Senator Huey P. Long's private life here was a never-ending extravaganza of con tradictions. His ways here were as unpredictable as they were nov el.
 Senators were astonished to hear Long mispronounce the simplest words, and even more amazed when in his next breath Long used correctly such a word as "petrogly- phic."
 He said "ain't' and then would quote Virgil without faltering.
 Sometimes at night, after lying for hours in bed copying passages from the Bible, friends said they had seen him suddenly burst into profanity and decide to tour the fashionable night clubs.
 He would ignore messages from leading citizens on occasion, yet secretaries said he never refused an autograph request. In one day he received 32,0O0 letters and tele- grams.
 Senator Long refused every formal invitation he received as a Senator to attend affairs at the White House.

Longs Death and Effects Are Subject of Much
 Disagre ement

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.--Wheth- CT a strong threat to President Rooseveit's reelection died with Senator Huey P. Long is a sub feet of disagreement among political leaders here today.
 Senator Gerald F. Nye, Republi- can of North Dakota, said that Long might easily have held the balance of power in 1886. His death lessens the possibility Of a division of the Democratic Party and to that extent strengthens the Administration, thinks Nye.
 Senators Ebert D. Thomas, Democrat of Utah, and George w. Norris, Republican of Nebraska, and number of others expressed the opinion that the death of Long will not materially affect the out come of next years election.

ESTATE MATED AT
 LARGE AMOUNT
Some Place Dead Senator $ Wealth as High as Five
 Million Dollars

BATON ROUGE, La, Sept. 1l.- Speculation is rife in attempts to learn the extent of Huey P. Longs wealth, which was derived mostly from law practice. He had con- tracts with the State Tax Com mission giving him a third or all taxes collected by his efforts on assessed property. He also received fees from the Public Service Com mission for legal work, these fees under the Louisiana law, being paid by the utilities investigated.
 Some place the dead Senator's wealth as high as $5,000,000. but others believe it will be not more than half that figure, probably even less.
 The first positive knowledge of Longs wealth will come with the filing of the will for probate.

REPUBLICAN ATTACK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1l.-Rep- resentative Bertrand H.

That issue, he said, will be welcomed by the Republicans.
 In an attack on the New Deal appearing in today's final Con- gressional Record, Shell said that Administration officials and others revealed that unconstitutional measures would give Roosevelt a chance to go to the country and say he had done his best to rectify alleged economic social injustices, but organized wealth through Fed eral courts was able to thwart his efforts"
