ESTABLISHED 1760 As to Senatorial Courtesy By invoking “senatorial courtesy,” “Gum Shoe Bill” Stone has de- feated the nation-wide demand that he be deposed from the chairmanship of the senate committee on foreign relations. x. “Gum Shoe Bill” will be found in the same vitally important position when congress convenes for the extra session, April 16, This means that the president and his cabinet either will have to deal with the senate in all matters concerning foreign relations thru an avowed enemy of the administration’s policy or not deal with it at all. They probably will adopt the latter policy, as it would be unsafe to do The mental processes of the senators who put “senatorial courtesy” ahead of national welfare at this critical time are beyond the understanding of Here is a man He does everything in his has Is it surprising thet the confidence which the people used {o have in the senate has been reduced almost to the vanishing point?

As the horses of the two men emerged from the canyon they saw lender horsewoman riding. in to- ward the barn from the Music Mountain trail. She stopped in front of McAlpin, the barn boss. De Spain recognized the roan pony, but, aside from that,a glance at the rider was enough to assure him of Nan Morgan. He spurred ahead fast enough to overhear a |request she was making of Mcal j}pin to mail a letter for her, She also asked McAlpin, just as de Spain drew up, whether the down stage had passed. McAlpin tol her it had. De Spain, touching his hat, spoke: “I am going right up to Sleepy Cat. I'll mall your let ter if you wish.” She looked at him in surprise. De Spain was holding out his hand for the letter, His eyes met Nan's, and each felt the moment was a sort of challenge. “Thank you,” she responded, evenly. “If the ‘stage is gone I will hold it to add something.” So saying, she tucked the letter inside her blouse and spoke to her pony, which turned leisurely down the road, | CHAPTER III Nothing more than de Spain's announcement that he would sus: tain his stage-cuards was necessary to arouse a violent resentment at Calabasas and among the Morgan following. Sassoon, owing to the indignity put upon him, nourished a particu lar grievance against Frank Elpaso His chance came one night when Elpaso had unwisely allowed him- relf to be drawn into a card game at Calabasas Inn. Elpaso was no- toriously a stickler for & square deal at cards. A dispute on this occasion found him without a friend in the room. Sassoon reached for him with a knife. McAlpin was the first to get the news at the barn. He gave first ald to the helpless guard, and, without dreaming he could be got jto a surgeon alive, rushed him in a light wagon to the hospital at Sleepy Cat Sassoon hiding. A conference was held in Joff. ries’ office, De Spain was instruct- ed to see that Sassoon was brought in and made an example of. Ac \cordingly the sheriff, Jim Druel, | was dispatched after Sassoon, A great deal of inquiry, much rid- ing, and a lot of talk on Druel’s part accomplished nothing De Spain and Lefever rode, one hot morning, into Calabasas and were told by McAlpin that Sassoon had been seen within five minutes at the inn, To Lefever the news was like a bubbling spring to a thirsty man. went temporarily into He smiled at Lefever’s enthusiasm, Nan of Music Mountain Elpaso told me he put a; was) de 1.

Some four hours after sunrise the next morning do Spain with his two companions and their prisoner | rode into Sleepy Cat, locked Sas soon up, and went to the Mountain House for breakfast. The abduction of Sassoon, which signalized de Spain's entry into the stage-line management, created a sensation, The whole mountain country talked for a week of noth ing else. No such defiance of the na of t Morgan rule along ches of the Spanish Sinks had been attempted in years. The most active Morgans—-Gale, Duke, and the easy-going Satterlee —were indeed wrought to the keenest pitch of revengeful anger. Gale Morgan strode and rode the | streets of Sleepy Cat looking for} de Spain, and storming. De Spain himself, somewhat sur- the storm he had kicked , A the counsel of Scott, and while the acute stage of the resentment raged along the trail he ran down for a few days to Med- leine Bend to buy horse: | Both Gale and Duke Morgan pro- claimed, in certain public places in Sleepy Cat, their intention of shooting de Spain on sight; and as a climax to all the excitement of the week following his capture, Sassoon broke jail and, after a brief interval, appeared at large in Cala- basas, This made a lond laugh at de Spain's expense, It mitigated | somewhat the humfliation of Sas- soon's friends, but it in no wise diminished their expressed resolve to punish de Spain's invasion. Le fever decided after de Spain's re- turn to Sleepy Cat that the stage | line authorities had gained nothing by Sassoon’s capture. “We ought to have thought of ft before, Henry,” he said frankly one night in Jeffries’ office, “but we didn’t think.” “Meaning just what, John?” de- |} manded de Spain. “Meaning, that in this country you can't begin on a play without a second and third act.

You surprised ev- erybody; good. But you can't very well stop at that, Henry. You have raised hopes, you have led people to invest you with a repa- tation. You have got to live up to it.” “What do you want me to do— back a horse and shoot two guns at once up and down Main Street, cowboy style?” “I suppose you know,” continued Letever, “that they expect to get you for this Sassoon job.” De Spain flushed. “Who are ‘they'?" he asked after “Dear Sandusky, ea! course, the Calabasas bunch and the Morgans.” (Continued in Our Next teeue.)
