Night; Deficiency Bill Passed

a ''hard working session." when
had actually accomplished mucn
more than the events of the last
few weeks would indicate. When
he had finished he moved ad-
journment. It carried on a voice
vote, with some comedians IN
the gallery loudly voting" in the
negative.
The deficiency bill was adopted
in the form of a conference re-
port-a compromise which al
most completely reversed one OF
the victories of the powerful
house economy bloc. Wednesday
it approved a bill carrying $54,-
000,00O,OOO, or $161,000,0OO less
than the Roosevelt administra-
ton had requested.
Friday the senate increased the
bill to $189,OOO,OOO,OOO. The prin-
cipal raise was an item of Sll9,-
100000 to continue the Commo-
dity Credit corporations pro-
gram of sustaining loans to farm
ers On their surplus crops in order
to keep them off the market. A
conference committee then agreed
on a total of $185,0OO,OOO, includ-
ing the full $119,OOO,OOO for farm
/ loans.
The house with few in attend
ance and still fewer apparently
paying any heed to what was TAX
ing place, worked at the con-
ference report and finally APP
proved it. Meanwhile the senate
sent the social security amend
ments along to the White House

about the house, and he heard
the call and saw the Pickering
Wing-dip of a first night hawk.
Otherwise all was very still. He
experienced a queer, disturbing
feeling, swift consciousness of
of desertion. The track down to
the lower meadow and the mar
row crooked path to the spring
house were Weed-groWn.
Then he found his mothers let
ter. Over the fireplace, a wan
square in the dimness was a
sheet of paper on a nail Barry
took it down and read it sitting
on the stoop.
The first words were, "To Ro-
| bert or Baron, whichever comes
home first" Robert was Barry's
brother, the oldest of the three
sons. The rest of hastily written
letter answered all Barry's ques-
tons for him. First of all, Lucy
had married Zachary Blount and
the two were living in Tylers-
vile; Zachary was practicing law
and was associated with a great
man, Judge Parker Blue. Through
Zachary, Judge Blue had sent an
offer to Barry's father to 60 in
to the cattle business with him;
on shares it was. So all the fam
lily were moving down into the
cow country, onto one of the
Judges several spreads. There
was a postscript: whichever Of
you boys reads this first, let him
leave it here for the other"
Well, his mother and father and
his brother Lutte were on cat
tie ranch now. And Robert was
somewhere or other.
In the morning he decided to
60 out of his way a bit in max
ing his return journey. That was
because it dawned on Barry that
he alone of his family might
guess what Robert was up to.
anyhow I'll 60 past Tex Hum
phreys' place." Barry decided.
Barry happened to know that
Robert was crazy about one of
the Humphrey girls.
So now, turning his back on the
old log home, he headed toward
the Humphreys horse ranch. He
meant just to drop in and say
"HoWdy," and ask casually,
seen any O. my folks lately,
Tex" But there was to be no
such casual talk that day.
At the foot of Black Mountain
IN a peaceful and quiet little
whispering glen shut in by quiv-
erlng aspens, he came suddenly,
all without warning, upon the
stark horror of a thing which on
ly a short time before, surely not
more than a day before, had
been Robert Haveril.

The speaker was not ten steps
away. Barry let his rifle slide
out of his hands and felt queer
prickling chill along his blood as
he ierked his head about to stare.
At first he could see nothing but
gray bush and gray rocks. Then
he saw the muzzle of rifle bar
rel resting on flat-topped boul-
der.
"step over this way" said the
voice. "Step, kid, or I'll shoot
yuh daid.'
Barry obeyed
That was how he first met up
with Jesse Conray. This Conroy,
on the day Barry first saw him,
was about twenty-three years old
and, coiled as he was behind the
rock, with his bright black eyes
glittering and an ugly twist to
his white-lipped mouth, he made
Barry think of rattlesnake he
seemed just that full of the men
ace of sudden death. He was a
flaShingly handsome young de-
vii and none the less devllish for
an almost girlishly fine-featured
face. There was enough light for
Barry to make out that he pref
ty badly hurt.
Conroy was suspicious of him
at first, afraid that he might be
one of the crowd that had killed
his horse under him and shot
him down last night Once that
he learned otherwise his manner
changed.
I'm hurt right bar" he said,
"but I'll make it yet. Especially If
l can have help. Those fellers
that rode me down, they'll be
comm back after a while. But
they won't hurry; knocked ov-
er anyhow two an mebbe three,
an I'd of got 'em all if one of
their bullets hadn't of glanced
off'n a rock an drilled me-"
why'd they want to drill
you?" asked Barry.
''They're bandits, that's what,
said Conroy. KILLERS. Now yuh
got to help me clean out afore
they come eneakin' back"
I'll go get me my rifle" said
Barry.
SHORE" nodded Conroy.
''Then come give me some help.
I en- hardly walk, but if had
both laigs shot off I'd somehow
make it."
After they had done what
they could do for Conroy's two
wounds, one through his left
arm, one through his left shout
der, crawled into Barry's bunk
and lay quiet.
When Conroy got out of bed to
move restleSSly about he began
asking questions. He wanted to
know how it was that Barry liv-
ed all alone, where he had come
from-and why.
Why had he come? Well, he
didn't rightly know. He'd just left
one place and gone to another.
Conroy watched him narrowly,
plainly believing that he was be-
ing told a meager part of the
truth. Then he asked, still eying
Barry with bright suspicion as
though watching for sign of an
other lie, what his name was.
Barry. Me, I'm Barry Haveril. !"
Conroy started laughing.
'Say, that's funny" he said,
I'm a Haveril, too, one O. the
Texas Haverils; but my names
