Jack Hammond was at home

Mckenzie Joe nodded.
"I've ordered a new suit for it,"
Jack stared. "Are you going

The older man pretended casual

Among the many who paused to
read was a stocky, beaverlike man
whose eyes recently had borne the
shadows of deep worry. All had
not gone well for Mckenzie Joe
during these last few months. He
had been forced to watch q tre-
mendous change enguh the young
man whom he long ago had come to
regard with an overpowering af-
lection.
But Mckenzie Joe never had been
diplomatic. He was doing more in
that direction now than ever before.
At least, he kept his mouth tight
when every atom Of his supremely
honest nature shouted to him to
have showdown and proclaim
that he was tired OF being dealt
cards from a stacked deck. Some
thing was wrong; he felt sure OF it.
His distrust OF Kay Joyce and Bruce
Kenning amounted almost to mania.

Hammond swiftly crossed the
lowland toward Loon creek. The
workers along the stream passed
In blur. Far ahead, he sighted two
men. He broke into a run.
Lew shade turned his weak face
at the sound OF his approach. Then
suddenly gray-featured, he begged:
LET me alone-let me alone!"
Hammond had growled, his big
arms had outstretched; now he was
on the man, bending him in his
grasp.
"Give me that money!" he COM
manded.

shade had caught the distended
wrists Of the miner and was hanging
to them desperately. Hammond
bulged his heavy shoulders; shade
rose In his grasp, legs dangling
queerly, like those of dummy.
''Shall | choke It out OF youi"
he asked. Quickly he threw the
man from him, then rushed him
for \ new grip, his muscular fingers
widespread. shade struck out at
him, wildly; Hammond gave no ev-
idence that he felt the blows. Now
his hands, distorted with muscle,
ploughed deep into Snade's throat.
.'Look out, Jackl" Kenning shout
ed. you'll kill him!'
"What of it," growled the pros
pector. Then to shade, Give me
that money!" Lew shade writhed
helplessly, gasping. "You know
what / mean; that money you stole
from Jeanne Towers" Lew shade
hesitated only a second longer. Then
he raised his weak hands and point
ed to his throat. Slowly, Hammond
relaxed his grip.
shade, still reeling, paved for
his pockets. Currency, the nuggets,
the phial OF golddust; slowly he
passed them over into the waiting
hands OF Jack Hammond. The pros
pector turned to Bruce Kenning.

Slowly the man began to move
away, In the direction of the uncom-
pleted buildings OF Around the
World Annie's dance hall.
A half hour later Jack walked to-
ward Kay's claim. Something Of
calmness had come now, calrnness
and amazement. For the first time
in his life, he had wanted to kill
q man. He did not know why. All
he could realize was that blind,

The romantic fashion at the left

When you're keeping UP with

President Roosevelt was given
a preliminary defeat on the Su-
preme Court issue today, when
the Senate Judiciary Committee
voted an unfavOrahle report on
his judicial bill.
This action transferred the
battle to the floor Of the Sem
ate, with q majority Of the Ju-
dietary Committee recommend
ing that the measure be killed.

will not alter the Administration
plan for a mo compromise" fight
to the finish on the Presidents
judicial reorganization plan, Sen
ator Ashurst CD Of Arizona,
chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, said today.
As the committee gathered for
a vote on the bill and alternate
proposals, Ashurst remained ada
mant in his demand for q "clean
defeat of a clean victory. He said:
1--WE are going along as We
have always planned. " will

Asked If Van Devanter'S an
nounced retirement would mean
that he would withdraw the PreSi.

mise, Ashurst replied:
''YOu never heard Of . man

yOu?"
Despite the apparent certain
defeat of the bill in committee,
Ashurst took the opportunity to
forecast that it would be favor

Justice Willis Van Devanter
who announced his retirement
from the Supreme Court today
has informed close friends that
his retirement has no connection
with the pending fight overPresi.
dent Roosevelt's court plan. He
said he has been contemplating
retirement fro mthe court for some
time.
His actual retirement was in.
duced by the law enacted in Con-
gress in March permitting Su.
preme Court justices to retire from
the high bench, rather than to
resign, with assurance that their
salaries will not be reduced by
Congress during the remainder of
their lives.
TabOOs Court Talk
While Justice Van Devanter is
known to oppose the court en-
largeemnt plan, he refused point
blank today to discuss the matter.
He said he did not wish to take
any part in the discussion.
He plans to accept assignments
from the Chief Justice to circuit
courts of appeal for brief periods,
and thus will not entirely sever
his connection with the court.
Under the law, Supreme Court
justices who retire can be assigned
to duty in circuit courts, but can
not sit again on the Supreme
Court. Justice Van Devanter
plans to accept assignments for
80 to so days whenever the Chief
Justice believes he could aid in
expediting the work in any of the
10 circuit courts of the country.
Justice Van Devanter also plans
to devote considerable time to de-
velopment of his farm near Eli
colt City, Md. He has boosted to
friends that, with his son, he is
developing "a real farm"
