Bring 'em," Temple repeated.
.sMore the betteri"
Breck gave his promise, then rode
on.
Twice on the way down he met
salt trains coming up; cowboys with
a dozen mules. each mule carrying
two hundred and fifty pounds Of
rock in burlap bags. By evening
he was on the last steep slope of
the granite wall, with the Mojave
Desert stretching away in a purple
shadow of the Sierras themselves.
At dark he came into the first cor
rails of Dick Divine's pack outfit,
and upon crossing a stream rode at
once among fires of more cowboys
camped near long piles Of salt.
Dusk hid their faces. Some greet
ed him. Then he passed one alone
who glanced up from his solitary
blaze of willow twigs, stared and
said nothing.
Breck raised a hand, though he
knew there would be no reply.
"Howdy, Art"
Shortly after that he approached
a small house, strangely neat and
white in a garden of flowers, as

sun when he awoke. Even as he
closed his eyes again, reluctant to
leave the blankets, his telephone
tangled from its post beyond the
door.
He bounded out barefooted.
Cooks voice came over the line.
Hello. Rock House, how is the
morning?"
Haven't had a look at it yet"
Then here's something to wake
you up. A relay from Lone Tree"
IAN right" said Breck. Lets

He heard Cooks low chuckle.

The ranger paused. "It's signed, :"
he continued presently, "but l reck-

Perhaps the Darky's
Ducks We're Storks

A salesman was rafting along
country road in Tennessee, when
he came to a ford. A Negro was
standing by the little stream
where some ducks were SWIM
ming. The salesman said: "Can
I get through the creek with this
car all right?"
eyes, sub, drive right through"
The salesman, thus encouraged,
drove into the stream, only to find
that the water was so deep that it
flooded his engine. He and his
companion had to get out into the
stream with the cold water up to
their armpits and push the car
to the bank.
The salesman turned and said:
''What do you mean by telling me
that I could drive through that
creek?"
"Well, boss, I never knew dat
water was so deep. 1t only comes
halfway up on my ducks!"

Lobbies Described as Groups Seeking
To Influence Members of Legislatures

A lobby in the political sense is a
group of persons or organizations
seeking to influence the members
of congress or legislature in order
to obtain the passage, or secure the
defeat of, certain bills. The verb
ito lobby" means to solicit the vote
of a legislator or to attempt to in
fiuence him in the exercise Of his
official duties. Although in this
sense the term is an Americanism,
it is occasionally used in England
in reference to measures before the
house Of commons. It originated be-
fore the Civil war, relates writer in
the Indianapolis News, and arose
from the fact that lobbyists work
in the lobbies-halls or vestibules-
of congress, and not actually on the
floor of the senate or house Of repre-
sentatives.
The Hobbies are often facetiousiy
referred to as the third house"
In 1871 M. Schele de We're wrote on
this subject:
''The work done by members Of
congress IL very largely influenced
BY agents from without, and BY Ger
tain established usages Of their own.
The former Il collectively called The
lobby . term which. originating

rough life about it. Dick Divine
came to the door, holding up Ian
tern as he peered out. His face
showed wrinkled and toothless, with
sharp eyes looking from under long
gray brows.
who's yere?" he demanded.
Ranger from Rock House."
well, howdy, Ranger. Are you
putin up?"
"For one night" Breck answered.
He swung to the ground, and pres
emily, having explained what he
wanted and turned his animals loose
with hobbies, he came back to find
a meal fixed for him on the pack
er's table.
Art Tillson was still in camp the
next morning. Rigging saddles for
the tourists to come, Brock saw 9TH
er cowmen load their strings OF
mules and vanish up the mountain.
But Art, single-handed, was later
than the rest. II was almost noon
before he had his salt train ready.
His mules were punched. and
mounted, he was trying to rush
them into line, when abruptly a
roadster shot through the willow
thicket. His animals plunged from
the car, bucking at their packs as
they scattered. Art wheeled his
horse savagely as the car halted
near him.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
Great Lakes Raider
Elmo Scott Watson

nURING the Civil war David q.
Ross, an 18-year-old cadet in
the Georgia guards, was captured
and sent to Union prison camp on
Lake Erie. He escaped and made
his way to Canada, reporting to
Capt. John Yeates Beall. a Confed-
crate agent.
Ross joined Beall in q plan to
take possession of the Philo Par
sons, lake steamer. and with it
capture the Michigan, Union war
ship, use that to attack Fl. johnson
at Sandusky and release 1000 Con-
federates there.
On the morning Of September 10,
1854, the Philo Parsons stopped at
Sandwich, Ont, to take on a party
of 20 men. At Maiden. few miles
farther, 20 more came aboard. After
several more stops, the crew and
the other passengers found them
selves looking into the muzzles Of
pistols.
The captain relinquished com.
mand and Bean took over with Ross
as first mate. And then the S. S.
Island Queen with ITO Federal SOL
diers aboard, pulled alongside. No
one knows why the soldiers permit
ted it, but after firing few shots,
Beall and Ross leared aboard with
a handful of men and captured the
crew which was too astonished to
resist.
They sailed on with their 40 I'm
ion soldiers in tow, but the S. S.
Michigan commander was ready for
them. Seeing the ship coming to-
ward them, the Philo Parsons
turned about and fed, docking in
the Detroit river where the raiders
fed to safety.
Ross. the 18-year-old cadet, who
had been first mate on the wild voy-
age. managed to get to Wilmington.
N. c., where he was made a captain
in the secret service. General Grant,
during his second presidential ad-
ministration, issued a pardon re-
lieving Ross Of the charges Of pi-
racy.

Spain as an attache to the American
embassy. he was only Is but already
famous as a poet. Next he served
in the Spanish and French armies
and became friend of Lafayette.
Made a chevalier Of France. he
returned to America to fight in the
Revolution but was thwarted in that
ambition. In 1875 he accompanied
the young Polish patriot, Kosciusko,
to Warsaw where King Stanislaus
made him a baron at the age of "a!
He was sent to make treaty with
Empress Catherine of Russia, who
became very fond of him.
When the war between Russia and
Turkey started, she commissioned
him q major-general in her army
and he later served under the ad-
miral of her feet, John Paul Jones.
He remained at the Russian court
until 1871, then returned to Warsaw
where he was made a or-general
in the Polish army.
When the Polish rebellion against
Russia failed. Kosciusko and Little
page went to Paris to try to rescue
their friend, Lafayette, imprisoned
during the Reign Of Terror. They
failed and Kosciusko returned to

"An right. Friday is two days
of. You start out tomorrow morn
ing and make Dick Divine's camp
by dark. Then if your folks come
any time at all before noon Friday
you can pack them as far as Sum-
NIT and camp. That will put you in
Rock House again Saturday."
"OK," Breck answered.
After breakfast he dedicated his
time to making tenderfoot tourists
less tender. He could visualize the
party of five arriving after their day
and a half in the saddle-the Sena-
tor, padded in the wrong spot and
letting the whole forest know how
he hurt; his wife suffering more and
saying less about it; Irene a good
sport if she cared to be. The other
two would be a maid and chauf-
feur, who was also the Senator's
handy-man.
Preparing camp for them, he put
up four tents near the stream and
not too far above his cabin.
He was on the down trail early
next morning, for in the night he
had realized it was only fair to stop
at Temple Meadow and mention this
party to Louise. The corral bars
were open and the place apparently
deserted when he came into camp.
But in a moment Tom Temple
opened his cabin door and hobbled
out.
Almost his first words were,
"Louy's gone saltin'."
As frankly. Brock answered.
That's too bad. ! hoped to see

before starting on.

Rebel Against Rebellion

A T THE outbreak of the Civil war
"a a band of about 100 citizens Of
Jones county, Mississippi, refused to
identify themselves with the Confed-
eracy. Under the leadership of one
Newt Knight, they took refuge in
Leaf River swamp where they de-
fed all efforts to make them fight
under the Stars and Bars.
BY 1864 they had complete con-
troll Of the county and out Of that
fact grew the story that this "rebel-
lion within a rebellion" resulted in
forming a Republic Of Jones" with
Knight as its head. Mississippians
declare, however. that there is no
official record of any such "repub-
lie" ever having been launched and
they refer to these "seceders from
secession" as the "Newt Knight
band of deserters."
When the war was over and Con-
federate army veterans returned,
they induced the legislature to
change the name of the county from
Jones" to Davis" because they
said the conduct Of Knight had
made its name "a badge of ignom-
my and term of reproach."
Knight always denied that he was
deserter but tried to get pension
from the federal government. He
was unsuccessful because the rec
ords at Washington failed to show
his name enrolled in the Union
army. However, there was some
compensation for him in the fact
that until his death in 1928, he was
widely known as the founder Of
the Republic of Jones'"
