arranged signal, footsteps
sounded in the corridor outside
and eleven men entered the
room. Never before had they
been seen in the Verde country.
Sallow, furtive and thin Tipped,
caps pulled low over their eyes,
they were men of a type easily
placed. Dick watched them
align themselves behind Sari,
then, recognizing the pock-
marked face of the man called
Steve, he smiled at the knowl-
edge that at last Sari was calling
upon his underworld henchmen.
Well, if force was to be the
final arbiter OF the meeting that
night, the issue would be clear.

tween the Western rancher and
the dregs of the cities.
But at the entrance of those
hired confederates the atmoS-
phere in that crowded room
became electric. Even the cool
est heads among the men of
Verde realized that any hope
for a peaceful outcome was fast
vanishing, and more than one
rancher flung back his coat with
no attempt to conceal the gun
that hung at his belt. Grimly
they stood ready.
And now all eyes were turned
toward Lowell. For a time he
looked at Sar1, then in the
clear voice that carried easily
to the far corners Of the room
he began.
Dicks Charge
zone year ago Nicholas Sari,
who sits before you there, an
nounced his plan for bringing
water to our desert ranches.
You believed him. He told you
Of surveys that had been made,
showing how a ditch could be
brought around the north end
of the Barrier. He called on
many of you to pledge your
land and buy stock in the COM
pany. You mortgaged your
cattle. You decided to him
lands in return for promises Of
water rights. Most of that land
Sari now owns. He has divided
it and sold it at many times
the price he paid you. But
always he has told you of this
ditch that is coming and of
the wealth that is to follow.
Partly because of your faith in
my fathers name you have be-
lieved this, for my father was
one of you, but tonight I ac-
CuSe Nick Sari of tricking both
you and my father. On my
word I tell you that the ditch
is not and never was a posi-
bility. The dam at Azure Lake
has one purpose. Not, as Sari
has said, to increase the flow
of water during the dry season,
but to irrigate the land he owns
on the other side of the barrier.
Sari knows this, and so do I.
Has he ever sold one foot of
that land? Try to buy it.
Every acre belongs to him, and
they alone will benefit by the
work carried on with your
money. Every word that I am
saying to you I stand ready to
prove, but Nicholas Sari is
here-let him disprove it,"
AS Dick sat down Sari, rose,
his eyes passing in amused deri-
sion over the sober faces of the
ranchers, then rested in cold
hostility on Lowell.

Pablo, meanwhile, studied
each rancher in Dicks group,
but always his close-set, restless
eyes kept returning to Lowell
himself.
Slowly the minutes passed,
while a stream of men kept
flowing steadily through the
door until every seat was taken
and the late comers began
ranging themselves about the
walls. At last Barnes raised his
long, spare form behind the
table and raped for order. His
words were few.
Sari'S Challenge
Men of Verde, you have
been called together" he told
them, because Of serious news.
It is news that challenges the
honesty Of the Verde Irrigation
Company and the safety of the
funds entrusted to it. Tonight
you will have a chance to hear
both sides, then it will be for us
to decide what must be done.
First I call upon a man known
to you all-Dick Lowell"
{ Barnes sat down and immedi-
.ately both Dick and Sari rose
to their feet. A growing look of
apprehension passed for an in

scanned the men about him.
In numbers both factions were
equally matched-too equally

plans very thoroughly in bring.
ing to the meeting every man
that could be enlisted in this re-
volt of the desert ranchers.
But leisurely. disdainfully,
Sari regarded that sea of faces,
then turned to Barnes. IT want
to ask the self-elected chairman
why I find so many here who
hold no interest in the Verde
Irrigation Company. If this
meeting is to consider my COM
pany's methods, only those with
an active interest in it have any
right here. Before we go fur.
ther call on them to leave"
A rumble of mingled assent
and diSapproval filled the room,
but above it rose Dicks answer
ing voice.
1 "This meeting is not limited in
any way to your company or to
s1ts affairs. It is open to every
man who has the interest of
Verde at heart. Everyone max
ing home here wants to know
whether the thousands of dol.
lars spent have been honestly or
dishonesty used. We believe
they have a right to know this.
We intend to know whether the
Verde ditch is a possibility or
an impossibility and whether
the survey figures under which
you expect to construct the
ditch are true or false"
Force Threatened
Suavely Sari answered, "Per-
haps we better put this to a
vote and decide who will con-
Stitute the meeting"
II would recognize no vote if
1t were taken. I expect to stay
here, and the men who are with
me expect to stay"
"You will not recognize a
vote" Sari's voice lowered
dangerously. what will you
recognize? Force?"
"We are ready to meet even
that"
In reply Sari walked to an
open window, and taking a last
puff on his cigar, tossed it out.

CHICAGO, April l3.-The Izaak

tivities as they affect game animals
as the league closed its thirteenth
national meeting today.

with the plea that ANY want thereof
involves potential danger of great
magnitude"
~. J. Baecher of Norfolk, Va, pro-
posed a substitute resolution which
would submit the matter to the
leagues Executive Board with power
to act, but the original resolution was
passed after argument by Kaupanger.
The resolution for closed season
on ducks pointed out that periods of
limited shooting of migratory water
fowl from 1917 to 1921 had restored
the game so that by the Fall of 1921
the shooting was comparable to that
Of the early COS. Since then, the
resolution said, due to "drouth and
overshooting," the number had de-
clined rapidly to only 34,000,000, and
United States biological surveys
showed hunters we're annually killing
more ducks than are produced.
I'VE urge and recommend" the res
olution concluded" the establishment
of a closed season on all migratory
water fowl for the year 1885 and for
such further period as in the judg-
ment Of the United States Biological
Survey is necessary to restore and

forebears.
The loyanst invasion of Canada
really dates from 1776, the year in
which 1000 civilians followed the
British Gen. Hull and his troops to
Halifax upon the evacuation OF Ros-
ton. It was not till 1888, however,
that the influx took place on a grand
scale. In the following year the mi
grafton was continued to upper
Canada, now Ontario.
New York, which had been in the
hands of the British throughout the
struggle, seemed the logical place for
a discussion of the Tory position.
Articles of settlement" were finally
drawn up, providing transportation
to the new Canadian hinterland,
years supply of provisions or its cash
equivalent and supply OF warm
clothing and medicines-al this. OF
course, in addition to land for settle
ment.
Old newspapers have preserved
some interesting facts about the sail
ing of these exiles from New York to
Nova Scotia. A number of vessels
piled back and forth between May
and October of 1888. among them

of the American Revolution
i is a fitting time to introduce
their Canadian counterpart,
the United Empire Loyalists. Both
these famous associations have a
common origin in the American Revo-
luton, but it was the side of the
King, not that of the colonists, that
the U. E. l.. upheld.
Long before the War Of 1ndepen-
dence ended, the Tories" as these
royalist sympathizers were then
called, were looked upon as traitors to
the Republican cause. Feeling ran
so high against them that their posi-
ton was made the subject of con-
sideration by royal commission
during the peace negotiations of 1888.
In most instances the property Of the
Tories had already been confiscated,
SO his majesty's government offered
them new start with land in the
nearest British territory. This was
Nova Scotia, which at that time in
cluded the province now known as
New Brunswick.
Thus the year .1783 witnessed a
wholesale exodus from. the young
United States of those who had sup
ported the King. That these exiled
people represented the finest families
in the colonies has been to the last
ing good fortune of Canada. Many
of the men had Harvard degrees.
Their women had been reared in all
the refinement of that age. They
brought to the Nova Scotia backwoods
traditions that have strengthened
with time, and today their de-
scendants are to be found in high
places throughout the Dominion.
Exodus Began in 1776.
It is not necessary to quote more
than a few names to prove that
Canada owes her neighbor a con-
siderable debt for her loyalist stock.

the addition of an added starter to

which will comprise the vanguard OF
the Griffs' march to Orlando, Fla,
early in February.
The newcomer Is Harry Oates, a
right-hander hailing from the back
woods of South Carolina, Newsom's
native State.
Since early in the Fall, when he
opposed the 23-year-old Oates in an
exhibition game in Dixie. Newsom has
been touting the youngster to Presi-
dent Clark Griffith. His first move in
the sign-O a-contract drive was
a long-distance phone call from South
Carolina.
Hes big fellow, Griff," explained
NeWsom. In fact, he's biggern me-
physically"
rs he fast?" Griff wanted to know.
rs he as fast as you?"
well, for gosh sakes," Newsom re-
sponded. "Nobody's as fast as me.
You know that. But this Oates kid is
pretty quick. He's fast as blazes."
The communication ended with
Grif stalling. but Newsom's next step
was a personal visit. Later he phoned
again.
You say nobody could hit in that
game?" asked Griff. How about
yourself? Did you hit him?"
"Sure I hit him." replied Newsom.
II can hit anybody. But he'll fool the
average batter"
IF you can hit him then I don't
want him." Grif answered, grinning
and hanging up.
Griff meditated, however, and Won
dered how long Newsom's campaign
would continue and how those long
distance phone calls were being
charged. So he sent Oates contract
and an invitation to report to training
camp.
AS kid, Oates served a stretch in
the Middle Atlantic League, winning
six and losing two, but he gave up
base ball for a mill job. While work.
ing he pitched on the side for the
semi-pro team which Newsom opposed.
