on by Litle Brown and (Ghupimy BEGIN HERE TODAY The gang of cattle thieves and politiclans who_elected good-natured BILLY WINGO, sheriff of Golden Bar when they thought he was too ecasy-going to intorfere with law-breaking have suf- fered a smad awakening. HAZEL WALTON, whom Billy loves, raves him from being shot from ambush by JACK MURRAY, a member of the gang, but the lovers quarrel when Billy refuses to avold danger by resigning from office, RAFE TUCKLETON, weaithy cattle thlef, hires DAN BLIKE, professlonal hadman, to Kill Billy and TOM 'WALTON, Hazel's honest_ranchman, TOM DRIVER, local judge, and ARTHUR RALE, district attorney, partners in Tuckleton's scheme. TIP O'GORMAN, another politician, re- fusen to take part. Billy recelves a mote slgned by Hazel requesting him to come at once to the Walton ranch. He ls sus- piclous and forces Judge Driver to wear his clothes and approach the houso on horseback. Bllly crawls to a window and sees Tom Walton dead on the floor, GO ON WITH THE STORY He continued to stare unblinkingly into the room and after a time he made out the dim lines of another man’s figure sitting on the table be- side one of the front windows.' The head of this other man was turned away from Billy. He was watching the draw through the front window. On account of the soft snow Billy did not hear an approaching horse until it had almost reached the ranch house door. When the horse stopped the man inside the ranch house moved quietly to the door and stood at one side of it. His hand moved to his leg and came away. The rider dismounted. Billy heard him rattle the latch of the door. “Don’t shoot!” he heard him say in an agnized whisper. *“Don’t shoot, for Gawd’'s sake!"” Billy, watching at the window, saw the man in the room fling open the door. For an instant the tall and hat- less form of Judge Driver showed black against the expanse of snow framed in the doorway. Again came the plea for mercy—a wild cry of “Don’t shoot! Don't shoot! It's me! Driver!” as the judge, realizing only too well that any such outcry was tantamount to a confsssion of guilt, plunged into the room. Obviously his purpose was to escape the fire of the avenging rifles that he had every rea- son to believe were somewhere in the brush along the draw. “Thank Gawd! Thank Gawd! bab- bled the judge, sinking back against the door, “I thought you'd shoot me!” “I damn near did,” remarked the man, whose voice Billy now recog- nized as that of a late arrival in town, named Slike. “If you hadn't jerked your hat.oft so's I could see your face, I would have. When will Win- go get here, and didja get him to come by himself all right? By Gawd, you're wearing his clothes! Where is he?” “He’s here!” gurgled the judge. “Then you did lead him here, damn uncle and an are pH your soul! You white-livered cur, do you think I'm gonna hang on your account? What did you tell him?" To the accompaniment of a string of most ferocious oaths, Slike shook the judge as the terrier shakes the rat. “How many's he got with him?" “One—two."” “We'll shoot it out with 'em here, I said, I ain’t kicked all the fighting blood out of you, have 1? Get the gun off that feller I downed. It's on his leg yet. You can gamble you'll fight! It's you or, them, remember!" “Suppose he comes bustin’ in the back way?" quavered the judge. “We'll try to take care of him. But he'll come the other way, I guess.” But Slike guessed wrong, for Billy Wingo, judging that the psychologi- cal moment had' arrived, shoved his gun hand through a window pane and shouted, “Hands up!" “You dirty Judas!" yelled Slike and, firing from the hip, he whipped three shots into the judge before he himself fell with four of Billy Win- go's bullets through his shoulder and neck. Shot through and through, Judge Driver dropped in a huddle and died. CHAPTER X. “This,” said Rafe Tuckleton, “Is a helluva note.” . “It's all your fault,”” the district at- torney recriminated bitterly. “Well, the first part worked all right,” protested Rafe Tuckleton. “Dan downed Walton without any trouble. How could I tell Driver would slip up on his part? I'm glad Slike downed him. Served him right for being a fool.” “How do we know what happened before the fracas at Walton's? We don’t. We don't know anything ex- cept that Tom Driver is dead, Dan Slike wounded in the calaboose, and Skinny Shindle has skedaddled.” ‘“Sh-sh,” cautioned Rafe. ‘Some- body coming—oh, it's you, Tip. 'Lo.” “Yeah, it's me, Tip,” said O'Gor- man, closing the door carefully. “Look here, Rafe, what did I tell you about downing Tom Walton?"” “I ain’t downed Tom Walton,” de- nied Rafe sullenly. “You had it done,” insisted O'Gor- man. : “How do you know I did?" dodged Rafe. “You don’t even seem able to obey orders any more,” said Tip O'Gor- man. “Go easy, you two!” snapped the district attorney, as a dog in the next room began to bark. “There's some- body comin’ up the path.” Billy Wingo opened the door and strode without ceremony into the of- fice,. He was followed by Riley Tyler. The latter slammed the door behind him and set his back against it. “I hope you boys are feeling gen- erous tonight,” remarked Billy. Chic or Passeé 2?

With bonus taxes added, revenues of the government again will ap- proach the totals of the war period, from which the much advertised cconomy program of congress has been trying to relieve the country. During the fiscal year 1921, closed June 30 last, the government collect- ed in taxes and miscellaneous rev- enues $53.57 for each resident of the country. Then President Harding set the budget bureau to work, reduced expenditures, and made it possib for congress to write a new tax bi that would take less from the aver- age American pocketbook. During the present fiscal vear col- | lections will be reduced to $37.55 for cach resident of the country, accord- ing to the budget bureau estimates now before congress. This is with- out the bonus bill. The bureau's plan represents a reduction of nearly 30 per cent, from 1921.
