MacLeod Rama refuses :ts the gambling house with Clay, to Brom-wa- s in Beatrice was in his thoughts a great deal. What would she think at him when the news came that he was a murderer, caught by the police in a den of vice where he had no business to be? Some deep instinct of his soul told him that she would brash through the evidence to the essential truth. She had failed him once. She Would never do It again. He felt sure of that. The gray morning broke, and brought with It the steaming smell of. prison cooking, the sounds of the caged underworld, the sense of life all around him dwarfed and warped to twisted moral purposes. A warden came with breakfast a lukewarm, muddy liquid he called coffee and a stew in which potatoes and bits of fat beef bobbed like life buoys and Clay ate heartily while his cellmate favored him, between gulps, with a monologue on ethics, politics, and the state of society, as these related especially to Shiny the Shover. Lindsay was given to understand that the whole world was on de spud, but the big crooks had fixed the laws so that they could wear diamonds NO DELIVERY.

He was lying on the bed, his supple body stretched at graceful ease. Not by the lift of an eyelid did he recognize the presence of his enemy. Durand stood in front of the cell, hands in pockets, the Inevitable unlit black cigar In his mouth. On his face was a sneer of malevolent derision. Shiny the Shover bustled forward, all complaisance.

Men must be free to live and achieve. Liberty is gone in America when any man is denied by anybody the right to work and to live by that work. It does not matter who denies. A free American has the right to labor without any others leave. It would be no less an abridgement to deny men the right to bargain collectively. Governments cannot tolerate any class' or group domination through force. It will be a sorry day when group domination is re fleeted in our laws. Government and the laws which government is charged with enforcing must be for all the people, ever aiming at the common good. Chairman Ben W. Hooper of the United States Labor Board in his statement of July 1, 1922, said Regardless of any question of the right of the men to strike the men who take the strikers places are merely accepting the wages and working conditions prescribed by a Government Tribunal and are performing a public service They are not accepting the wages and working conditions which an employer is trying to impose. For this reason Public Sentiment and full Government power will protect the men who remain in their positions and new men who may come in.

From the man who came to the door Mr. Bromfields visitor learned that he was not well and could receive no callers. Just mention the Omnium club, and say Im here on very important business, said Jerry with aa sour grin.

As soon as his man had I he broke scream. gone The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad Company plead self-defens- e. Thats what it was, of course. "Yes. But Durand doesnt mean to let it go at that. He was here to see me this mouln. Clay turned to the The Gang Politician's Insoterrt Eyes I Didnt Went Up and Down Him. Come to See You. Its your cell pal Ive come to take a look at the one whos goln to the chair. With one lithe movement Clay swung down to the floor. He sauntered forward to the grating, his level gaze on the ward boss. Shiny, this fellows rotten, he said Hes not evenly and impersonally. only a crook, but hes a crooked crook. Hed throw down his own brother if it paid him. Durands cruel lips laughed. "Your pals a little worried this mornin, Shiny. He aint slept much. You see the bulls got him right. Its the death chair for him and no lifeboat in sight. Clay leaned against the bars negligently. He spoke with a touch of lazy scorn. See those scars on his face, Shiny the one op the cheek bone and the other above the eye. Ask him where he got em and how? Jerry cursed. He broke Into a storm of threats, anger sweeping over him In furious gusts. He had come to make sport of his victim and Lindsay somehow took the upper hand at once. He had this fellow where he wanted him at last. Yet the mans soft voice still carried the note of easy contempt. If the Arizonan was afraid, he gave no least sign of it "Youll sing another tune before Im through with you, the prize-fightprophesied savagely. The westerner turned away and swung back to his upper berth. He knew, what he had before suspected, that Durand was going to frame him if he could. That information gained, the man no longer interested him. Sullenly Jerry left. There was no profit in Jeering at Lindsay. He was too entirely master of every situation that confronted him. Within the hour Clay was wakened from sleep by another guard with word that he was wanted at the office of the warden. He found waiting him there Beatrice and her father. The girl bloomed In that dingy room like a cactus in the desert. She came toward him with hands ex- , er - mining man, his voice low but incisive. His brain was working clear and fast. Mr. Whitford, I have a hunch hes going to destroy the evidence thats in my favor. There must be two bullet holes In the partition of the rear room where Collins was killed. See If you cant find those bullet holes and the bullets In the wall behind. Ill do that, Lindsay. And hire me a good lawyer. Send him to me. I wont use a smart one whose business is to help crooks escape. If h doesnt believe in me, I dont want him. Ill have him gt the names of all those pulled In the raid and visit them to see If he cant find some one who heard the shots or saw shooting. Then theres the gun. Some ones got that gun. Its up to us to learn who. Thats right. Tim Muldoon will do anything he can for me. Theres a girl lives with his mother. Her names Annie Millikan. She has ways of finding out things. Better talk it over with her too. Weve got to get busy in a hurry. Yes, agreed Whitford. Well do that, boy. Oh, Clay, Im sure Its going to be all right!" cried Beatrice, in a glow of enthusiasm. Well give all our time. Vell get evidence to show the truth. And well let you know every day what we are doing. How about my going bail for you? asked her father. Clay shook his head. "No chance just yet. Lets make our showing at the coroners inquest. Til do fine and dandy here till then. He shook hands with them both and was taken back to his cell. But hope was In his heart dow. He knew his friends would do their best to get the evidence to free him. It would be a battle royal between the truth and a He.

It was explicitly stated. You promised. And all the time you were planning murder. HI tell all X know. By G d, I will. "Go easy, Mr. Bromfleld," snarled Jerry. If you do, where do ye think youll pet off at? Ill go to the police and tell them your hired gunman was shooting at us. Will you now? An TO have plenty of good witnesses to swear he wasnt."

It was one thing to destroy Lindsays influence with Beatrice by giving her a false Impression, From his point of view their friendship was pernicious anyhow and ought to be wiped out. At most the cattleman would have gone back unhurt to the Arizona desert he was always talking about. Nobody there would care about what had happened to him In New York.
