WASHINGTON, Mar. 5.--This

gress. So what happens? The
House is no more than sworn in
when it adds another standing
committee to the AZ that already

1t is, of course, the old Dies

Chapter II

TWO days later, O'Shane spread
L his saddle blanket on the top
of another mesa, twenty miles
south of his former hideout.
Slipping a mug of coffee. the
fugitive considered his situation.
With Colonel Thornton on his side,
a ray of hope illuminated the
grey future. Lobo was slow
witted, mere tool of his brother.
If he were arrested, and con-
fronted with a murder charge, he
might talk to save his neck. Did
he know enough to damage Wack-
er?
Deep in thought, the lone man
Numbered by the tiny fire did not
at first hear the distant clatter of
hooves upon rock. Suddenly the
sound, breaking the silence that
brooded over the mesa top, aroused
him to tensed attention. With a
spring he gained his feet and
jumped back out of the circle of
freight. Standing immobile in the
deepening gloom, with head thrust
forward, he listened.
The unknown rider drew closer.
Through the night O'Shane heard
the creaking of his saddle as he
diSmounted; the faint tinkle of his
spur chains as he approached the
fire,
ANYONE around?" he shouted.
Ccouching, O'Shane moved slow
II behind him.
''tIist 'em!" he directed CURLY.
The strangers arms jerked sky
ward. Keeping him covered, the
redhead kicked more brush on the
fire, 1t blazed up, revealing
:lght-lipped, cold-eyed rider of
medium height, clad in grey shirt
and open vest. Faded lewis were
turked into his boot tops. A gun
was thonged-down on either leg.
! 'Ain't you one of Fleeson's gun
nies?" inquired O'Shane softly.

The visitor fumbled in a vest

folded piece of paper. He tossed
it carelessly towards the redhead,
who caught it.
'Unbuckle that gun belt with

whose gun had never wavered

gun belt thudded to the ground.
The redhead holstered his iron,
unfolded the sheet of paper and
