CHAPTER XIII

In the morning Breck found his
telephone dead and patrolled the
line until midday before discover
ing the break. Returning to Rock
House late afternoon, he was half
way across the meadow when he
caught a movement in the pines
around his cabin. A horse whin-
MED. His hand had learned the hab-
it of dropping to his gun. He went
on, alert and tense in his saddle.
Shadows about the station hid the
animal tied at his rack until he ap-
preached within a short distance,
then he saw the blue color. A
moment later Louise rose from
the log where she had been sitting
and took a step to meet him.
He swung down beside her happi-
ly. II didn't expect a visitor, or /
would have left the cabin unlocked.
How are you, Louise?"
"Oh, able to be about"
There was but a momentary
warmth in her greeting, then she
seemed to draw within herself. Her
manner was again casual as she
said, II came this way to tell you
something that is really none of my
business"
"What?"
There's to be meeting tonight
In Jackson's camp at Bear Trap.
rode that way coming up from the
Potholes, and talked to JG himself"
"a cattle meeting?" Breck asked.
'Of course"
He frowned. A meeting of cattle
men was not his affair. They would
not welcome him, unlimited. He said
SO.
The girl shrugged. "All depends
on how you go into it. But there, I
thought you probably wouldn't be
interested She moved toward her
horse.
"Louise!" Breck caught her and
turned her about until she faced
him. ''Tell me, be wide open for
once, is this something I ought TO
have hand in?"
''It isn't on the ranger books"
she answered, but it is something
you ought to have a hand in, very
much. She paused, hesitating
over her next words, then finished
gravely, "You could do a lot to-
night-or nothing. | wonder !"
Abruptly she gathered her reins and
mounted. Then in the instant be-
fore she wheeled her horse and
loped away, she looked down and
completed her thought. II wonder
If have judged you right"
Breck lost no time in making a
decision. He would take Louise s
advice and 60 to Bear Trap. though

she had not said what the meeting
was about, nor why he should have
a hand in it. Some way to turn the
cattlernen back into his friendship
They were in trouble?
He fed Kit, cooked hasty meal,
and in half an hour was headed
into the Bear Trap trail. Dusk closed
the forest about him, bringing that
sense of loneliness SO often a part
of the days end. 1t was increased
tonight. He thought of Louise. She
too at this moment was riding alone
somewhere across the mountains.
Safe? OF course. She was noun
tain girl.
His horse clattered on up the
ridge. Breck continued to think OF
her, until suddenly in glancing
about, he was swept by the feeling

WPA Quota Will Be Cut so per
Cent BY June 80, is Report

MOntana's works progress ad-
minlstration quota of relief en-
ployes will be cut 50 per cent by
June 30, according to statement
by Joseph E. Parker of Butte,
state WPA administrator. He
said the present quota will not
be reduced this month or in
March.
The cut will have to be made
April |, but it has not been de-
cided whether to make a one
third cut then and another cut
later or to make d gradual reduc-
ton resulting in a so per cent
cut by June 80. The cut is neces-
sary because of the decreased
appropriation made by the ma
tional congress, Parker said.

Woman Juror Bill
Given Clear Track

The bill permitting women to
serve on juries was given a clear
track when the house killed a
measure providing that all per-
sons serving on juries be requir-
ed to pay road and poll taxes.
The woman juror bill passed the
house, and then the road and
poll tax bill was introduced in
the house.
If both bills finally passed the
legislature. the women serving
on iuries would be required to
pay 81 year in road and poll
taxes. Backers of the woman
juror bill defeated the tax bill so
their own measure would have
clear sailing.

Legislative HighIights

School buses would be painted blue,
white and red and no other vehicle on
the highways would be allowed to use

a bill approved in the house. The
upper part of the bus would be blue,
the lower, red, and a white stripe
would separate the two colors.
The house has approved a memorial
to congress asking that the Missouri
river be made navigable to Fort Ben
ton and that ship-locks be constructed
at the Fort Peck dam to allow river
vessels to sail on the reservoir.
1t required little debate for the house
to kill H. B. 1893. which would have
prohibited the state prison from making
auto license plates.
The proposal to create manager for
the greater university of Montana wen:
down to defeat in the senate by vote
of 3S to IL.
Two sales tax bills were definitely
disapproved by the house indicating
that Montana citizens will not have to
dig up pennies when making purchases
for the next two years at least.
A bill to increase the state fish and
game commission from its present three
members to seven, one from each Of
seven districts set aside by the meas
ure, was approved by the house with
out debate
If the house has its way, slot ma
chimes will cost the proprietors of es-
Establishments in which they are located
500 tax each per year.
The house went on record in favor
of a chain store tax measure, Fl. B.
$50, after it trimmed the yearly tax
for five stores or more from $3.50 each
to 5000. The bill provides the following
schedule of taxes on stores: one store
SIS; two stores, $50 EACH three stores,
500 each four stores, $3.50 each: five
stores or more. 5000 each
A bill modelled after the Louisiana
chain store tax, which would assess
chain stores on the total number in
the system, whether in or out of Mon
tana, if the concern does business in
the state, was killed in the house
The house approved bill, H. B. 1923,
which will provide for a l3-member
highway commission, one member from
each of the IL highway financial dis
tricts and one at large, to be appointed
by the governor
The house passed H. B. IA, which
would put speed limit on the states
highways. 1t provides that the highway
patrol may fix speed limits, but that
any speed in excess of 60 miles per
hour shall be prima facie evidence of
reckless driving
To Representative Ray E. Lowe of
Dawson county goes the credit of hav-
ing taken action which resulted in the
killing of a house bill which would
have allowed the use of salmon eggs
for fish bait, repeating law which
has been on the state statute books
for years

going ahead very satisfactorily
on the Hagen structure on Two

The senate killed by vote of % to
"a a bill which would have allowed
the use of peyote beans in Indian re-
ligious ceremonies. A similar bill has
been killed by the house.
The house has approved bill which
will establish state textbook commits
sion of five members. instead of seven,
and require that the state superintend-
ent of public instruction be chairman.
The house approved H. B. POI, which
would set up a new state milk control
board, consisting of five members, with
full power to regulate the milk industry
in Montana for the benefit of the pro-
ducers.
Representative Sherman of Helena.
author of the quick divorce" bill for
Montana and other supporters of the
measure claim that it will stimulate all
business in the state and particularly
be boon to hotel and travel indus
tries.
Support given proposed legislation
for standard driver license in Montana
clearly indicates that state lawmakers
are for it. and supporters of such a bill
before the assembly are confident of
its final passage and approval by the
governor.
The house rejected proposal which
would have placed all collections from
II state tax and license sources in the
state general fund
The house committee on constitu-
tional amendments recommended H. B.
2S2 by Leuthold of Saltwater which
would provide board of control to
have full power over all financial mat
tiers of the state.
Recommended for passage in the
committee of the whole was S. B. 70,
which would prohibit aircraft oper-
ators from handling their planes in such
a manner as to brighten livestock. Ac-
cording to Senator Robinson of Phillips,
author OF the measure, private pilots
have often seriously affected the mar
kct value of beef animals. He said
frightened herds often were stampeded
to such an extent the animals lost
weight.
With the senate's approval of Mon
tanas 3O-day divorce legislation fol-
lowing its adoption by the house it is
certain, according to its supporters, that
1t will be supported by Governor Ayers
and become law OF the state. The
senate's vote in favor of the bill was
