CO."
In the starlight Bill Roper swung
down in front of the little shack
which served King-Gordon as load
ing-forerlan's office at their Ogal-
lala pens. Within, Bill Roper found
Lew Gordon sitting alone.
Il just talked to man." Roper
said, 'ithat saw the killing"
Gordon was instantly alert. ''Who
was it?"
Hes man that can't come for
ward, because he's already an out
law in his own right. But Dusty
was killed by Ben Thorpe, and
Walk Lasham, and Cleve Tanner,
the three working together. Walk
Lasham bore down Dusty's gun"
They looked at each other for a
long moment
''This man that told you this
we've got to get hold of him; his
story has to go to the authorities,
Bill"
Roper shook his head. Hell hang
if 1or, 1orIc him
nobody would believe him against
these three"
Lew Gordon made a gesture at
once impatient and weary. "Wher-
ever we turn we hit some snag
of lawlessness, he said. "There's
too many men afraid to stand for
ward and face out the law. Seems
like nothing is done open and above
board any more"
"Never was, since l remember"
Roper said. GIVE got couple of

Gordon had been fiddling with a
pencil, and now he threw it on the
table in front of him. Were fgur-

CHAPTER v

Bill Roper walked slowly to the
Gordons' tall house, on it's rise at
the edge of the town, and let him
self in softly. He wanted desperate
ly to talk to Jody Gordon; but it
was nearly midnight, and he couldn't
make up his mind to wake her.
AS it happened, decision was un-
necessary. In the fireplace some
lengths of cottonwood log still
burned, and before the fire Jody
lounged upon a buffalo robe, wide
awake.
you've been long time"
II know" He stopped beside her,
half raised her in his arms, and
kissed her lingeringly. Her arms
and her lips chung, making it diff
cult for him to think of the road he
had chosen. But presently he
sat beside her on the buffalo robe,
and turned his eyes to the Goals.
'There's some stuff we have to
talk about, Jody."

do with freight than just talk"

Jody brought herself up on one
elbow. 'Why, Bill-what do you
mean?"
"Dusty's share comes to me, as
you know. I'm taking it out"
"You're-Bill, you must be loco!"
maybe. I'm going against Ben
Thorpe"
"But-but-" Jody was at a loss
for words.
"Since the trail began, he's stood
for everything we're against. Four
of the biggest rustling gangs in the
country are directly hooked up with
him, if it could be proved. He's
stopped at nothing, and where he
couldn't force his way he's bought
his way. But now-he's gone too
far"

raced home to tell pretty Jody Gordon the
good news. The two happy lovers were in
each others arms when rider soon brought
the news that Dusty King had been killed.
Were going to carry the war into
the other camp, Lew. For every
outfit that Ben Thorpe has grabbed
by force of arms, he's going to lose
two; for every head that has come
into his herds by rustic and raid,
two head of his are going to be
missing when he makes his roundup
count. First thing, I'm going to
break Cleve Tanner down in Texas.
After that"
Lew Gordon looked Bill Roper
hard in the eye, smiled little, and
shook his head. His voice was slow
and deep, stubbornly emphatic, as
a granite cliff is emphatic. ''No.
We've never gone outside the law
yet, and while l live we never will.
We play the straight game always;
and if we lose-that's in the hands
of things beyond u.s.
Bill Roper angered. 81 know how
you feel about it, he said, keeping
his voice down. "You swayed Dusty
that way always. If you'd looked
at it different, the guns would have
been out years ago-and it would
have been Ben Thorpe that went
down. AS it is-Dusty King is dead.
Now you want me to drift on as we
always drifted on, and I'm supposed
to forget that Dusty's out Their I'M
der pile of stones. Well, I'm not
going to play it that way, Gordon"
''While you're with King Gordon"
Lew said slowly, you'll play it as
l say you'll play it.
''If you want to buy me OUT" Rop-
er said, 'you can do it at your
own price. Because I'm going to do
exactly what I tell you I'm going to
do; wouldn't run sneak on you,
Lew"
"You figure" Lew Gordon said in
credulously, "that you, one young
ster on horseback, can smash up
Ben Thorpe? You wouldn't last forty
seconds longer than celluloid col
lar on dead gambler"
"There'll be a few go with me-"
Roper said.
"Who?"
"Dry Camp Pierce for one; Lee
Harnish, Tex Daniels, Tex Long; in
all, maybe fifty men that I think
know where to get"
Lew Gordon looked as if he would
explode. you're naming the most
vicious outlaws on the plains," he
said. "If you ever get those men
together, it will be the most Internal
wild bunch that ever"
"By God," said Bill Roper, "I'll
show you how to clean range or
break a range; I'm telling you 1
don't care which,"
Lew Gordon slapped his hand on
the table; it fell with dull and
heavy wallop, but so hard it
seemed the top of. the table would
split.
"No No, by God! Not under my
brand. Not in hundred years =. :"
"Then draw up the terms of the
sale"
Gordon was silent again, for a
long time He seemed very old,
very tired. "Reckon you're man
enough to make your own decisions,
Bill"
Thanks, Lew"
"But do me one last favor-will
you? Don't decide here and now.
Take couple of days to think it
over. It's for your own good. But
I'm asking it as a favor to me ;"
Bill Roper dropped his eyes, and
for a moment or two he hestated
'I'l take an hour, he decided in
compromise.

ON THE HOME FRONT

Regardless Of the war in other
parts of the world and on our western
shores, men and women in civilian life
must do the ordiary work of the coln-
try. Men and women will continue to
marry and be given in marriage and
the races of men will 60 on.
The kind Of world Of the future
will be determined by what the aver
age person does as he follows the arts
of peace. One of these days violence
will end, and when that time comes,
those of us who did not directly partic-
Iipate in it, but remained in the import
ant post Of preservers of society on a
basis of peace and civilization, will be
in position to bind up the wounds of
them who served in ways less harsh
than ours. And let us hope that the
storm will soon pass away everywhere.
Meanwhile, we must maintain the
HOME FRONT.
The Omaha guide., 1941-12-20

Among the provisions is one requiring
examinations annually for all employ
ees who were in the city's service when
the law was adopted, to determine
their efficiency and fitness for future
employment. These examinations will
be open, also, to applicants not in the
service. For instance, suppose John
Wilson has been employed as an assist
ant engineer for fifteen years by the
city; that his knowledge has been ac-
quired by practical training; that ne
lacks formal education in engineering,
but is an excellent man in his work.
However, he must enter the examin-
alton against graduates from our en-
gineerin. schools. 1t seems to us, the
practical man would have but little
chan of winning out in such a COM
petition, yet his failure would mean a
loss to the public service In other
words, the man who might pass the
highest examination "on paper" might
be an utter failure in practice.
If this angle has been aptly stat
ed, some means should be found to re-
duce the loss Of valuable men in the
service to minimum.
Mark you, we are all for CIVIL
SERVICE as a selective policy for
government in all it's units, and we
hope that it will succeed here. There
will be no doubt about it if DR.. William
H. Thompson remains at its head I'M
hampered by politics and it's sisters
and brothers"
The present law needs many
changes for it's betterment. These will
come in time, and they should come at
an early date.
At any rate, there has been a be-
ginning and that is good omen Tor

PENSIONS FOR SOLDIERS

Much opposition has been eN-
pressed to bills now pending in Con-
gress which seek to provide pensions
for soldiers and their dependents of
World War One. The argument in OPP
position to this type of pension is not
new. One view is that many men who
served in the army and navy did not
see any battle service and received no
wounds; that those who served in
France and elsewhere outside contin-
entail United States and escaped
wounds by shell and bullets and bombs
have no right to ask for or receive pen
sions.
1t will be recalled that 100000
men served in France during the First
World War. Each one of them spent
about twelve days on submarine in
tested ocean enroute to France. And
after their arrival and brief period
in the rear they were sent into the
zone Of battle where they remained for
m nths. in gas areas, filthy trenches,
constantly under fire May of them
participated in the Battles Of Argonne
Forest and the Meuse Argonne. Many
Of them returned only to find that
physically they had LOST many years #
their lives bv raason Of their service.

THE CASE OF THE CAPTIVE"
MINES

For the past several years, the
Federal Government has had a fixed
policy Of encouraging Labor Unions TO
insist not only upon the right to organ
ize and bargain collectively, but alsc to
establish in all industry the "closed
shop. 1t has been in pursuit Of this
principle that the United Mine Work
ers, under the leadership Of John l..
Lewis, have insisted on the CLOSED
shop is the mines owned by the steel
companies. They simply mean that
only members of labor unions can work
in the mines. 81 percent of the $4,000
miners in these Captive mines" are
union men; three percent are not. The
Federal Mediation Board sided with
the three percent in this case, but with
a majority of an AT. Of L. union the
week before and supported the CLOSED
shop. And there you have it.

"GLORY TO GOD IN THE
HIGHEST"
by Ruth Taylor

"And behold there were shep-
herds abiding in the fields by night
1t was the shepherds who first
heard the angel song "Glory to God in
the highest and on earth peace, good
will to men,"
Glory to God praise to the high
est-a Difference to Him who is all good
ness. Glory to God is not a lip service
but cry of exaltation, giving Of
homage, an acknowledgement that that
which is right and just must prevail
We will have to fight the evil a.
broad in the world today. We will
have to strive nightly for the right,
but at the end is the promise
AND on earth-peace not a peace
of servile acquiescence, not peace cf
appeasement- but peace of justice, a
peace of honor, peace Of joy, a peace
of good will to all men.
Not to any one group was the pro
mise made. Not to any one race or
creed Or nationality but to and for all
men.
That is the lesson of the angels
song. If we give glory and honor un-
to whom it is due-not to man made
rulers, not to ambition, pride or self
jsh desires but to Him who is ali good
all justice, all wisdom if we let the
Eternal Goodness, The all powerful
all wise, all loving Father of all man
kind, rule our lives, we can then and
only then attain peace on earth for

sing Fear not: for, behold bring
you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto you is
born this day in the city of David a
Saviour which is Christ the Lord"

PEARL BUCK, RENOWNED
WRITER BLASTS RACE
PREJUDICE

In recent weeks a "crime wave"
has been raging in the section Of New
York City, known as Harlem. Harlem,
you know, is the black ghetto Of New
York City.
The New York Times wrote an
editorial on the subject of "Crime in
Harlem, and Pearl Buck, world Fam
GUS Writer, wrote a letter to The Tim
es in answer.
Among other things, she said:
'The reason why colored Amer
leans are compelled to live in ghettos,
where they are helpless against high
rents and miserable housing, is the Sc
gregation to which race prejudice com
pells them. Race prejudice compells
colored people to take what work they
can get because there are so many jobs
Negroes cannot get. Race prejudice
makes and keeps Negroes wages low
because some labor unions will not ad-
nit colored labor on the same basis as
white labor Race prejudice and race
prejudice alone is the root Of the plight
of people in greater and lesser Hari-
ems all over the country.
And in speaking of many leading
Negroes in this country who hold un-
patriotic views, she adds:
'There are those, and some Of
them leaders, who favor Japan in the
present crisis, seeing in Japan the fu-
ture leaders Of all colored peoples in
the world''
And she concludes in these words
"Are we Americans to 60 on ac-
cepting the stupidities Of race preju-
dice? I know the oft repeated wear
isome defense. Intermarriage is the
fearful specter behind everything. On
that there is but one answer. Are we
to deny 100000 Americans The
rights and privileges Of our country,
and are we to risk our very democracy
itself, by maintaining a determined
ruler-subject relationship between
white and colored, because some day a
few white individuals and colored i'll
dividuals may choose to marry each
other?
us democracy right or is it
wrong? If it is right, then let us dare
to make it true"
