Then, laying his revolver across his captlve'a shoulder, be faced the door just as It flew open. "Hands up, please," he ordered, gently. The newcomer glared, but the pistol muzzle also glared at htm unwinking-ly- ; and be let fall bis gun and slowly raised bis bands. "What the devll'a this?" he demanded, furiously. Go Ahead locked 'at Wade critically. "Darned if I know," be answered. "Thought maybe yon could tell me.

"No, I'm not the cook- - I'm Jim Barker, sheriff of this county; and I " "Ah, yesl Just a moment . . . Er " Go Ahead turned to Stella. Continued 9 Go Ahead did not wait for the second one. Obviously tbe cry came from young and vigorous lungs, those either of a woman or a young boy. Their tones showed that their utterer was in trouble and needed help. By every rule of his being and of bis name Go Ahead could not fall to answer. And be did not falL He ran true to form. One Jump took him from his horse to the ground; a second to the deep embrasured window through which the cry bad come; and a third took him through It. Dis feet struck the floor while the third call for help was yet In the air. Not that his third bound was his last. Just In front of him be saw a young slender boy (to all appearances) struggling desperately in the clutches of a short but powerful man ; ajad the sight was quite enough to the gravitation that strove to hold him in place. So be took a fourth leap. The man Bill Wade heard him coming, let go Stella and tried to turn, snatching at his revolver. Cut for once the bandit lieutenant was too late. Before he could touch bis gun be felt himself caught op, whirled in the air. and then sent sailing clear over the newcomer's head, to crash to the floor with a jolt that loosened bis back teeth. Still game, be reached again for his pistol; only to feel himself sharply rapped across the knuckles and to bear a voice say ."Naughty, naughty I" In his ears as its owner swiftly took possession of bis weapons. dazed When from the Anally, shock, be sat up.

What seems to be the trouble?" Stella was choking with fury; but she managed to And breath to reply Nothing," she gasped; "nothing that I can't attend to myself, if you'll Just give me my gun." She stretched out her hand for tle revolver that Wade had obtained from her in tbe stable and which Go Ahead had Just re claimed from Wade. Go Ahead .looked at her, then at Wade, who was trying to clamber to Ms feet by the help of the wall. "IJe does lo.ik like a fellow who ought to be shot, doesn't he?" be asked. "But, pshaw, a kid like you don't want to begin his young life by shoot In anybody. Suppose I Just throw him out?" Stella was beginning to get control of herself. "No," she said, more calmly but still unevenly, "I want to get to camp before be does and tell dad and the boys about him. Then, If he dares to turn op they'll attend to blm. There's only one horse here and " The clatter of boots, made ty at least two running men, sounded in the ball. An Instant later the door was flung open and a white man, tall, and heavy, burst in, revolver in hand. Behind him the squat form and swarthy face of Diego showed for an Instant, then vanished. Go Ahead had not watted. At tbe first sound of tha footsteps he bad X f. Xfn VA v :. !

"Governor Smith," he said, "as President of these United States, with all the resources then at his command, will be able to give the people of the United States a picture of the real social conditions under the present prohibition laws. "If, as a result of careful study, he can evolve a plan for the regulation and control of the liquor question In a way that will absolutely prevent the return of the saloon, eliminate bootlegging, with Its accompanying evils graft corruption, and murder and restore temperate life in our country, men must admit then all his right If not his duty, as President to promulgate such plan and to advocate such changes In our laws and Constitution as. may be necessary for Its adoption.
