CHAPTER WIZ Continued

Behind Marian's shadow I'd siIhou
cite the window glass itself shat
tered, as if it had exploded inward
out in the brush sounded the ringing
crack Of rifle. Then there was 81
lence and the window against which
Marian had stood was empty excep
for the lamp-lit gleam Of it's shat
tered glass.
Wheeler's breath jerked in his
throat; he dropped to the ground
and raced for the house.
In the dark beside the shattered
window Douglas was holding the
girl in his arms, and though she
clung to him, Wheeler saw that the
wagon boss was holding her up. He
heard Douglas say, "Are you hurt?
Are you-''
Billy Wheeler cried out, 'In Gods
name, Marian"
Marian's voice said shakily, ''I'm
all right"
''You hit?"
mo"
Get a gun!" said Val Douglas
crafty. 1--WE was standing here,
and somebody took shot at"
Wheeler turned and ran for the
bunk house. Half way he almost
crashed into Tulare Callahan.
''What's up?"
'Get the boys out" Wheeler told
him. ITO hell with saddles, but
get ropes and guns. Somebody fired
into the layout-we've got to try to
stampede over him in the brush"
Behind the "a layout the buck
brush stood ragged, much of it
shoulder high to a mounted man; in
its crooked brakes the hard sandy
ground showed barren in the light of
the near stars.
With some difficulty Billy Wheeler
restrained Gil Baker and Steve Hur-
ley from squirting their ponies head
long into the brush, as if they were
trying to jump bunch of steers.
''Stick together. move slow, and
keep stopping to listen," Wheeler
said. THAT'S our only chance"
They trailed into the bush slowly,
single file, Wheeler in the lead. He
had accidentally mounted a horse
that believed in ghosts and it moved
Sidelong, stretching it's nose warily
at the brush shadows, blowing long
uneasy whoofs. Repeatedly they
halted to sit listening.
For an hour they combed the dark
brush, alternately walking their
horses and listening.
Not until they came out at the
foot of barren rise did they realize
that they had wandered almost a
mile from their starting point. When
you have seen one thicket of buck
brush by starlight you have seen
them all They had pushed through
a hundred thickets, in which a man
could have hidden under the very
feet Of their horses-yet in that mile
Of country there were thousand
Ghickets more. The riders were grim
and tight-mouthed.
Horse Dunn met them at the cor.
rails. He had been prowling all over
the place, rifle on his arm. He
spoke low-voiced, but no one of them

morosely at the floor. In his eyes ;
dark fire glowed. Wheeler wondered
what ugly and shadowy things th'
old man was seeing. Perhaps
Wheeler thought, he would not wisl
to see in his life the like of wha
Horse Dunn was seeing, as he sa
looking at the floor.
Finally Horse Dunn jerked to his
feet with an abrupt inpatience
"This is all pipe SMOKE" he said
"For minute you threw me up ir
the air with that bunk. But hell!
You figure Bob come here a way
no man would ever think of coming.
There's better than hundred mil.
lion people in this country, and Bob
Flagg is one Of 'em, so you figure
that maybe it was him got killed."
well, we might anyway check
up at Pahranagat. There isn't SO
much travel up the Little Mimic but
what we could find out if Bob Flagg
came that way"
"PH send Val Douglas over there
tomorrow. I sure don't aim to
leave any stone unturned. But if
a guess is an inch long, you sure
jumped mile"
MAYBE" Wheeler admitted.
Horse Dunn took a turn Of the
room and the fighting spirit that had
f1ared up in his eyes burned low
and smoky again. '"This country's
gone to hell in a handbasket. I've
never asked for any more than JUS
tice, and I've dealt out nothing less.
But where can you get it now? A
mans hands are tied. There was
more honesty in the old six-gun than
in a thousand courts Of so-called
law. I'd give 'em their cock-eyed
country. I'd wash my hands Of the
whole worAs, and good riddance-if
it wasn't for the girl"
1t always came back to Marian.
The old man didn't dare lose be-
cause of what it meant to the girl;
he had labored for her too long, in
years that for any other man would
have been the twilight years of his
life.
She came before IWheeler's eyes
now, between himself and Horse
Dunn, almost as clearly as if she
had really been in the room.
Dunn was saying, ''Know what I'd
like to do? I'd like to cut out for the
Argentine. Where a mans cows
have chance to turn around, by
God. I'd
Argentine, hell!" Billy exploded
at him. eff I'd been running this
outfit, this situation would never
have come up or started to come
up!''
II suppose you'd have sold out"
Dunn said, hard edge on his voice.
''Maybe and maybe not. But 1
wouldn't have gone COW crazy,
range crazy, until I couldn't afford
to work my stock!"
Strangely, Horse did not anger.
Wheeler saw that the Old Man
thought his TRADE was merely based
on youth and ignorance, which he
had seen in unlimited quantities be-
fore.
MAYBE" Dunn said now, you'd
have kept the "a little one-horse
spread-in the best Of shape. But
that amt the question now. We're
where we are, and there's no use
fighting over what went before"
II can save it yet," Wheeler told
him rashly. Il can throw a hun
dred thousand into the o."
II didn't know you could swing
that much. You got it, Billy?"
What I haven't got of it-I can
get"
Horse Dunn studied him, sadly, a
long time. That's an offer, is it?"
he said at last.
"On one condition. That you give
me a free hand, to hire, fire, buy
or sell, land or cattle. for three
years."
Il believe" said Dunn. I'D even
do that"
''It'S a deal. them" !

ALIEN PAY ROLL
BILL ENDORSED
Cochran Hopes Committee
Will Report Starnes Meas
ure FavorabIy.
BY WILL p, KENNEDY,

Chairman Cochran of the House
Committee on Expenditures today
voiced his support of the Starnes bill,
which would bar aliens from Federal
pay rolls unless an appointing officer
finds no American citizen available,
and expressed the hope his committee
would be able to give a favorable
report next week, following brief
hearings. The measure, sponsored by
representative Starnes, Democrat, of
Alabama, would result in more than
sl,000,000 being saved for United
States citizen employees, its advocates
claim.
Representative Cochran received a
number of replies from a question
naire submitted to various Govern
ment establishments, including the
War Department and the Civil Serv-
Ice Commission. He will spend the
week end studying these and hopes
to be ready for the hearing early next
week.
Representative Starnes also has
compiled mass of information on the
hNAIlIOS1 VI dLtIlS IllNOlNSu, some OF
whom are drawing substantial sal
aries. The American Legion is among
several large national organizations
enrolled in support of the Starnes
measure.
AS a member of the subcommittee
conducting hearings on the War
Department appropriation bill, Rep
reSentative Starnes has gathered con-
siderable information regarding the
number of aliens employed in Panama
by the Government. He finds there
are 1926 persons on the Panama
Canal pay roll. Of these, 3.428 are
Americans on what is called the gold
rolf and the other 10,498 are aliens
on what is called the silver roll"
Representative Cochran now is
awaiting the draft of an amendment

ment, which asserts this Government
