No Such Event Before in Old Dominion in Fifty Years. VOLUME XLVI, NO. 9. Colore BU MOB LAW Virgin No Such RCME, MISS. Loc. 31. —Charley Shepherd murderer and abductor, was burned on a gasoline-soaked prey here tonight. After mutilating his body and firing several shots into it, a mob of several hundred men faced the man on a pile of mass threw gasoline into it, alfred. Shepherd died cursing his killers. John Osborne, Associated Press staff correspondent, the first newspaper man to reach the scene, said the lynching occurred about eight P. M. Charley Shepherd, he was informed admitted he had killed J. D. Duvall employee of the State prison farm at Parchman and abducted his 18 year old daughter. He took all the blame, absolving two bunk mates who had been linked with the crimes The lynching took place about twenty-five feet from a public road and when Osborne arrived an hour later, the body was still on the pyre. He was told by persons at the scene that it would be left there. SURRENDERED TO WOMAN... Miss Laura Mao Keeler who captured Charley Sheppard colored murderer-abductor, told the Memphis Evening Appeal by telephone from Cleveland, Miss. that a mob had seized him near that town.... "We met part of a mob before we got to Parchman, turned around and tried to beat them through a round about way to the county jail at Cleveland." Miss Keeler said. "We traveled fast in spite of the bad roads but just outside of Cleve land a mob of about one hundred people caught us. They were nice to me all right but determined to get the Negro." "They took Shepherd out of the car and a lot more of them gathered around and carried him away." Miss Keeler continued. "I felt that I had done all within my power to deliver him safely into the hands of the law so I left. I did not want to see a lynching." ALONE AND UNARMED WOMAN TAKES FUGITIVE. Gunn'son Miss. Dec. 31—An armed and alone save for the company of the brother of the man she sought, Miss Laura Mao Keeler to day captured Charley Shepherd colored murderer and abductor while hundreds of men combed the thickest for him. Miss Keeler received word this morning from Shepherd's brother Tom who worked on her place that the convict was on her plantation. "I went down to the cabin with Tom" she said "and Charley said he would give up if I would go with him. "He told me if I wouldn't go he wouldn't give up but would take a chance on fighting. I searched him but he had no weapon. He told me he did not have anything except a rifle which was on the bed in the cabin. He had left with the rifle and six cartridges and still had them. "We got in a car and started for Parchman, but met us a mob that we tried to make it to Cleveland to turn him over to the sheriff, but a mile and a half from Cleveland they took him away from us." PRISONER IS RETICENT. Miss Keeler said Shepherd did not talk much. I asked him why he did it and he said "I don't know." He told her Miss Keeler said "Missus I'm sorry I done, because you might have gotten me out sometime." He thought Miss Keeler said that she might aid in obtaining his release from the State prison farm where he was serving a twenty year sentence for manslaughter and from which he escaped early Friday after killing J. D. Durvall, carpenter-sergeant at the farm and abducting his twenty-eight year old daughter Ruth who made her way to a prison camp Saturday. Miss Keeler "didn't have time to count the men in the mob that took Shepherd from her and several men who were seeking to get him safely in jail but estimated the number at fifty. PLEADS FOR PROTECTION. "Charley kept pleading for me not to leave him but I couldn't help. I felt sorry for him. I have a heart and don't believe in mobs. I wanted the law to take its course. ... "The last I heard Charley say was 'Miss for God's sake don't leave me please don't let them take me.'" Rewards totaling one thousand dollars were offered for Shepherd's capture.

The first time I saw this man was after he was struck and was hunged in the air He was hurled towards the curb of the crass plat. I did not see the truck hit him. I believe the truck hit him but do not know what hit him. I did not know whether he had fallen and had jumped off the truck. He was thrown four or five feet in the air. He fell near the curbing and rolled to the curbing. The truck stopped as soon as possible. I would say that it stopped in about thirty feet. It pulled a little to the right. The truck driver stopped the truck and then came back to the man. He stopped in Monument Avenue. He was on the pro side. The truck was going West. It was running at about 25 miles per hour when it passed the front of the bus. I don't know who was driving it. The driver was a colored man. The driver seemed to be watching the bus to make sure he would drive in safely. I did not see the truck strike Mr. Cooke .... William Nelson 911 W. Marshall Street testified before Coroner James M.

This friendly type of bank, which made its debut recently as part of the Remington Rand exhibit of the New York and Chicago national business shows, permits the customer to meet the customer face to face, separated from him by no formidable, fall-like bars. The cagehouse tank consists only of a walnut counter surmounted by a skillet of opaque glass above which is imposed an ornamental ornament. Business is transactional but through a barred window, but over a white counter.

With all its infirmity, and the air of reg安娜ism, however, the weakest bank is the most word in protection, and goes as far toward using bandit-prison as possible.

ORMOND-DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. —Celebrating the 26th anniversary of automobile racing in America, a series of International Speed Trials on the famous Ormond-Daytona Beach, on the East Coast of Florida where W. K. Vanderbilt, Barned Oldfield, Henry Ford, Major H. O. D. Segrave, Tommy Milton, Ralph De Palma, and many others have made automobile history, will be held from March 1st to 15th, inclusive, it has been announced by Mayor Arms of Daytona Beach. Mc; O. D. Segrave of London, England who broke the world's record in March, 1927, with a speed of 203.79 miles per hour will be the outstanding foreign contestant for the world's speed honors. Major Segrave has written me that, with good luck, he expects his new car to speed at a rate of four miles in one minute on the Daytona Beach course, a rate of 240 miles in hour, or 356 feet per second.

Caboo Dogsled D MOUNT THE CHATEAU FRONTENAC DOG TEAM The interest and enthusiasm evidenced by many thousands of excited spectators who witnessed the 1927 Eastern International Dogsled Derby, held the third week in February at Quebec, indicates that dogged racing has come to stay. Champion "mushers" from all parts of the United States and Canada foregather annually at the Ancient Capital to participate in this classic of the snows, which is one of the best means of ascertaining the type of animal most suited for running mall and supplies to isolated lumber camps and trading posts. The race is usually run over a 120-mile course in three fops of 40 miles each or three successive days, irrespective of --- bring with him his new high velocity automobile and very high velocity motor boat which he will race on Biscayne Bay at Miami. Major Segrave has accepted an invitation extended by Carl Fisher who has a winter home at Miami. At Miami he will probably contest with Gar Wood, famed motor boat driver who has a record of 93 miles an hour to his credit. It is possible that the public will for the first time see a motor boat at a speed of more than hundred miles an hour in winter. Major Segrave and his associates have expended more than $100,000 on his new motor boat and new high velocity car in order to capture the world's record on sea and land, according to Wm. F. Sturm, famed newspaper man and new race manager who is Major Segrave's manager. Turning from the motor boat race Major Segrave will attempt to annex the world's speed crown on land. The present world's automobile record of 207.88 miles an hour is held by Ray Keech, American, who drove to M. White's three-engine "Trooper" to the 1928 world speed crown last April, surpassing the previous record of 206.95 miles per hour made in February, 1928, by Captain Malcolm Campbell of London in his "Blue Bird." Death hovers near the steering wheel of the modern high velocity car. Yet in the past 25 years of racing the beach is the most dangerous place, churn, tilt, fly. erby a Test of Spee weather conditions. It is really a race against time, over the same 40-mile course, the team covering the 120 miles in the shortest time being declared the winner. The race was organized in 1921, under the auspices of the Eastern International Dogged Derby Clubs, its objects being to stimulate interest in dog racing and improve the quality of sled dogs. Emile St. Godard, of The Pas. Manitoba, by cutting down the time established in 1926 by Frank Dupuis of Quebec by 54 minutes and 85 seconds during the 1927 Derby, has earned the position of champion dog-racing driver of North America While St. Godard was engaged in beating Dupuis' record by nearly one hour in his determination to win ```markdown ``` THREE THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ```markdown ``` Choose the Present Desired.

While it is quite probable that the March meet will crown what promises to be Florida's most successful winter with a new world's record, the stupendous hazard which the new high velocity goals establish must not be overlooked. Added to the greatly magnified peril to the driver, is the fact that the wind resistance increases as the cube of the speed. Thus it takes eight times as much power to drive a car at 120 miles an hour as at 40 miles an hour. SEE THE 4-PIECE BUFFET SET. Now on Exhibition at THE PLANET OFFICE 311 North Fourth Street. Predictions that the world's record will be broken by a big margin are based on the fact that during 1928 trials Keech's tachometer gave a reading of 2,300 revolutions per minute, a speed in excess of 240 miles an hour: Captain Malcolm Campbell's "Blue Bird" attained a speed of 235 miles an hour, Frank Lockhart attained an estimated speed of 225 miles an hour. These were the highest indicated speeds reached at any time, but not over a time mile. The terrific speeds to be attempted are hardly within the imagination of the average car driver. The races will be held under the supervision of the American Automobile Association. The classic will, as a while, is a test of the speed of cars over a measured mile on a straightaway course, with four miles to start, one mile to run, and four miles to slow down. Ormond-Daytona Beach is as smooth and hard as a billiard table. It is straight as an arrow, 500 feet wide at low tide, and when wind and tide conditions are right, affords the most perfect straightaway course—in the world. What To Do.

RANSOME'S DELIVERANCES. ..There appeared in the Richmond News Leader Forum of December 25, 1928 a communication from Rev. W. L. Ransome, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church of South Richmond and a member of the special committee of the Baptist Ministers Conference of Richmond and Vicinity to appear before the Committee on Ordinances of the Common Council and oppose the enactment of a segregation ordinance for the white and colored races. The facts set forth in this article are convincing and the manner of presentation masterly. This distinguished scholar sums up the avenues of approach as follows: ... "1. Segregation ordinances like the one in question. "2. Deed restriction measures—prohibiting the selling of land to Negroes. "3. Social pressure—persuading agents not to rent houses to Negroes in certain sections, etc. "4. Violence. "5. Improvement in Negro sections so that they will not be forced to move in order to find decent homes. Nothing is said about the Negro's right to live here or there." We endorse Rev. Dr. Ransome's suggestions and remedies in toto. He declares the first avenue as being unconstitutional. He declares the second avenue as probably good in an individual case, but it has not been settled as a matter dealing with a whole race. Avenue three is unfair and unethical. Avenue four is flagrantly wrong and has never accomplished its aim. It has served to create sympathy for those who suffered violence. The fifth is ap proved by him. If we do not make a mistake we take it that it is the William A. Jordan solution of the alleged difficulty. The latter makes an additional suggestion that there be an equitable division of tax money between the white and colored people for the providing of public utilities and improvements, to the end that the latter may receive a just proportion thereof. But what is the use of further comment? Who can argue with Negro-haters? As for the other kind, the liberal class of white people, they are already convinced. Rev. Dr. Ransome and his associates accomplished that task at the recent meeting of the sub-committee of the Committee on Ordinances. (Leigh and Judah Streets) Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph.

A Ten Minutes Sing Will Feature This Service. --- by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. "Marriageable" This is not the age of chance—of good or bad luck. It is an age of scientific accuracy, if anything. Intelligent young men and women nowadays weigh important contracts before entering them, and, there is no more serious engagement than the marriage contract. Perfect happiness is impossible without perfect health. Each party to the marriage-vow has a perfect legal and moral right to demand and expect physical capability on part of the other. Given a perfectly healthy couple, and that means mentally as well—and the divorce courts will be shy in clientele by the couple who prefer a higher plane of existence. I suppose there are haphazard matches, by youngsters who are impelled by animal desire to undertake marriage. These do not last long after disillusionment. It is very easy to deceive one's self in the age of inexperience—and the awakening is mighty painful sometimes. The young man or woman should never enter the married state unadvised. I know of no situation where the advice of the sympathetic family physician is more demanded. Let the young man go to his doctor, and ask every question he can think of about matters of which he is ignorant. He should submit cheerfully to a full physical examination; and, it is perfectly proper for him to learn from the same source, how to care for the trudging young woman who is giving himself into his keeping. Young man, there is no better counsel than this I'm giving you. Please bear it in mind, certainly go the most important step on the life is taken. DEEP SEA FISH AND MEN BE-WISE—KEEP PREPARED THE SOCIALIST VOTE AMERICA'S FIVE BIG MEN DEEP SEA FISH AND MEN BE-WISE—KEEP PREPARED THE SOCIALIST VOTE AMERICA'S FIVE BIG MEN Scientists study fishes that live a mile below the ocean surface. Bring them to the top, removing the water pressure, they burst and die. Human beings live at the bottom of an atmospheric ocean. 500 miles deep. If you took us to the top we probably should burst, and we should die surely. Man cannot live even ten miles up, to say nothing of 500 miles. We pity the poor, submerged deep sea fish, leading such dull lives. They would pity the submerged poor among human beings. Science says of earth's life was once in the ocean. Some animals climbed on the land, developed lungs in place of the fish's bladder, ears in place of gills. Men were included in that migration to land. Other animals, even more ambitious, learned to fly—the birds Among human beings a few, birdlily, fly above the level of necessity to the realms of wealth. Once they get there, they like the birds, are safe. But, like the birds, they don't do much thinking, They don't have to think Mr. Broun, known the world over as the recalcitrant stormy petrel of thought, quarrels with President Coolidge because the President speaks of good will between nations, then asks for fifteen cruisers. That's not inconsistent. The other nations know that we can get the fifteen cruisers, and fifty if we want them. And that creates the "good will." Broun asks "Is a man, who goes out into the world armed only with both more timid than he who carries weapons?" Of course he is Look at the rabbit. He carries no weapons, and is more timid than the Lion or wolf, that has a mouthful of weapons. You can't be truly courageous unless you are wise. And if you are wise, you keep prepared Socialists of the country discover with grief and surprise that their Presidential candidate, Norman Thomas polled only 300,000 votes, against more than 15,000,000 for Governor Smith and 22,000,000 for Governor Hoover. Dates in 1912, got nearly 900,000 votes A Hints for the Home A novel and convenient curtain arrangement for the bathroom is the one wherein double-tier glass curtains are used. Have one tier extending from the top of the window to the center sash, and the second tier from the center sash to the sill, allowing the bottom edges of both tiers to hang straight. This makes possible a perfect control of light and air, and at the same time insures privacy. It is also good to sew a strip of very small curtain weights to the hems so that the curtains will hang in neat folds without billowing out with the slightest breeze. A New Year's Menu Roast young duck—Chestnut stuffing Candied apples—Mashed potato Creamed Spinach—Tomato salad Roast almond ice-cream Cranberries in a New Way From one pint boiling water remove one-half cupful and dissolve a package of lemon-flavored gelatin in it. When cold and beginning to thicken加 juice of ½ lemon, ½ cup chopped celery, ½ cup shredded pineapple, 1 cup thick cranberry sauce sweetened, and mold. Can be served as salad with cooked dressing. Baked Tomato Stuffed With Turkey Where there are just a few remnants of turkey left, chop the meat, add a few bread crumbs, a little chopped parsley and celery and seasoning. Stuff tomato with mixture, dot generously with butter and bake until crumbs are brown. Quick Caramel Pie 2 cups dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup thin cream, yolks of 4 eggs and whites beaten separately. However, Socialists need not be downcast. Their candidate had a hard time, running against prosperity, 7,000,000 Cochage plurality, the "wet-dry" question, etc. When people are as busy as that, they haven't time to think about Socialism.

This same scheme may be used to freshen stale bread. *** When Pressing Seams Use a dampened toothbrush for moistening seams to be pressed. The brush will open the seam as it draws along and facilitates the work. "Very Latests" "Very Latests" By Cecile BILLIE DOVE—in one of her daintiest poses—permits us to see her own version of the Tulle Evening Frock—an adorable collection of tiny tulle ruffles in palest primrose shades attached in bodice effect to a slip of primrose taffeta. A band of a quisite ivory-tinted lace edges the top of the under-bodice and shows its filmy pattern through the taches of tulle. Satin slippers and the sheerest chiffon hose to match the frock. As for the grace and the elusive charm of the costume—why real about them when this bewitching picture tells them so much more convincingly? The Bolero Next A mere prophecy of the bolero appeared in our midst early in the fall season, you remember—a sort of half-bolero effect which confined itself to the back of the frock. Late news informs us that the true bolero, following in the wake of short-jacket popularity, is on its way and will be seen in quite boxy lines and lengths well above the hip. Daytime cocktail jacket and fronds of frocks of chiffon have sponsored this theme which is becoming to so many slight, straight figures.

AUTOCASTER Woman Congressman Mrs Pear Oldfield widow of Congressman W A Oughted Ratesville Ark will be the first woman Congressman from Arkansas. She is the unopposed candidate to serve the remaining few months of the term of her husband who died recently after 20 years in Congress THE LAST OF THE DUANES by ZaneGrey Illustrated by Verne C.Christy Tenth Installment WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE Buck Duane, quick on the draw, kills Cal Blain in self-defense and becomes an outlaw. After advenures, the road he goes to, has a name. There he wounds a man named Bosomer and becomes a bosom friend of another named Euchre. He meets Mrs. Bland and also a girl of the same type of inland, whom he rescues after a series of inland in which he is on the deceive Mrs. Bland. This leads to Duane's killing of Bland, the outlaw leader, and rushing off with the men, who is lost later. Duane is on the road for years to outlaw, finally going to meet Captain MacNelly of the Klangers, who had asked to see him. MacNelly is kind to him, and offers him a pardon if he will accept the Chevaline's become a Ranger and has been interested in gang. Duane after a Miss Lee had spoken in his words after a Miss Lee had been to do behalf. Duane promises MacNelly to do his very service. Meanwhile, MacNelly gives Duane much welcome news. Duane goes to visit the Miss Lee who had been used for him with MacNelly, and finds her to be none other but Jennie. They talk and tell each other of their love, and when Duane tells Jennie he is commissioned to capture the hessidine he breeds down the beggs him to break his word to MacNelly. Duane sets forth on the hunt for Chevaline. At Ord he loates the hand of outlaw. The Braggie is going to be the next of the men. Duane, in the new night's open-to-Quell, instructions, saying he is going to arrest a man. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "This will probably happen after I take the train with my man. What I want you to do is to post the other operator. Then in case this does happen to either of you be cool and pretend to send the message given you. But send the wrong message—anything at random. Bluff the thing so these allies of my man will think they can stall operations east." Buell promised with a heightened color and considerable show of pleasure to go at once and relieve the day operator, who he said, wanted some time off duty, and to say by his instrument as long as needed. "Who're you after?" he asked excitedly. You'll know presently. Another thing—my horse is over at the inn. I'll have to leave him and I'd like you to take care of him till you hear from me. If you don't hear—he's yours." the time passed. When he went out he saw several Mexicans, a cowboy, and two men, and they all watched him. Next he ran into Sheriff Bridger. He laid a heavy hand on Bridger. "I want Cheseldine. Is he coming?" The sheriff gasped, and his swarthy face turned green. He looked sick. He could not speak. Over his shoulder Duane saw Cheseldine coming with a group of men, all intent upon themselves. "I'm Buck Duane, Texas Ranger," he said, close to Bridger's ear. And he drew his gun and pressed it against the sheriff. "Look down! he added. Bridger saw the gun and almost collapsed. "Give me your hand-cuffs," went on Duane. Bridger produced them and held them out with shaking fingers. Duane snatched them, and, with a look at Bridger that meant death, he shoved him back. Then Duane with gun high leaped in front of the approaching men. "Chesedeline! he yelled piercingly. All of them halted as if the word had petrified. One of them turned a ghastly strenken white. "Hands out! Not up! In front of you! Quick!" As Duane's look had meant death so here did his voice. The manacles clicked. Chesedeline was a prisoner. I duane turned to the paralyzed men. "Gentlemen, you look honest," he said. "But I can take no chances. You must be judged by your company. I'm Duane, Texas Ranger. I arrest this man Chesedeline. I advise you all to be careful with your hands." He grasped Chesedeline and backing away led him up to the station, pushed against the wall. Duane's eyes covered; every point before him, bedside disappeared. Chesedline's friends, recovering from their stupefaction, broke into a frenzy of excitement. But they did not approach any closer. One by one the little crowd of astounded men was enlarged by others. Sight of Duane and his gun was enough, both to make them gape and hold them back. Chesedline remained white but calm. He had nerve. He seemed to want to hide his manacles hands. "Duane, why did you make an exception of me?" he asked. Duane did not reply. At the moment he heard the train whistle. Probably Chesedline was wondering why he had not met the same fate as Bland, Alloway, Hardin. Duane wondered grimly the same thing. The eastbound rolled into the station. Duane, waving the crowd back with his gun, made Chesedline walk ahead of him, climb the stems of the car. "Hurry this train!" called Duane, to the amazed conductor. Then he got on, entered the car, put Chesedline in a seat and sat facing him and all the passengers. The train started up almost immediately, and left behind on the platform a yelling gesticulation crossing the railing, waving his hand from the station window. It was a fast train, yet the ride seemed slow. Duane disliking to face Chesideline and the watching conjecturing passengers in the car, changed his seat to one behind his prisoner. They had not spoken. Chesedline sat with bowed head, deep in thought. Occasionally the train halted briefly at a station. They got off the car at Val Verde. The station was a good deal larger than that at Bradford, and there was considerable action and bustle incident to the arrival of the train. Duane's sweeping gaze searched faces, rested upon a man who seemed familiar. This fellow's look too, was that of one who knew Duane, but was waiting for a sign, a cue. Then Duane recognized him—MacNelly, clean-shaven, without mustache he appeared different—younger. "Duane! Lord, I'm glad to s'e you," was the captain's greeting. Then at closer look into Duane's face his warmth fled—something he saw there checked his enthusiasm, or at least its utterance. "MacNelly, shake hands with Chesedline," said Duane, low-voiced. The ranger captain stood dumb, motionless. But he saw Chesedline's instant action and awkwardly he reached for the outstretched hand. "Any of your men down here?" queried Duane sharply. "No. They're up town." "Come. Chesedline, walk between us, and look straight ahead. Don't see anybody." They set off up town. Chesedline walked as if he were with friends on the way to dinner, except that his lips were mute. MacNelly walked like a man in a trance. There was not a word spoken in four blocks. Presently Duane espied a stone building on a corner of the broad street. There was a big sign: Ranchers' Bank. Duane touched Chesedline's bank. Chesedline, do you want to go in the bank and see the shipment of gold has come—the big haul?" asked Duane sarcastically. He hated to taunt the man, but could not resist that much. Chesedline gave a violent start. Per- Cheseldine gave a violent start. Perhaps in that moment he understood. He made no reply. "There's the hotel!" said MacNelly, "Some of my men are there. We're scattered round." They crossed the street, went in through lobby, office, saloon, to a large room, like a hall, and here were men reading and smoking. Duane knew them—rangers! When he snapped the handcuffs back on Chesedline it was with a strange air of finality. It was as if he renounced. McNelly, the rangers, and certainly Chesedline, all noted Duane's strange action and look. "There, Chesedline!" And with a something almost of passion and violence he pushed the outlaw toward MacNelly. He was done with him. Did that action mean that, as ranger, he was turning Chesedline over to the law, when as Buck Duane he wanted to meet him, to face him, to make him draw, to kill him? MacNelly beckoned to his men. "Boys, here he is. Chesedine! Russell, you and Mills take him in the small room and guard him. Don't take your eyes off him till we decide what to do." The rangers led Chesedine away. The rangers led Cheslineine away, "Duane, what had we better do with him for the present?" queried MacNelly. "There's a jail here. We can put him away till we're through. But would that be best? We've been lying lew." "No. How many men have you?" "Fifteen." "Keep two men here guarding Chessline." MacNelly left to go into the other room, and returned closed the door. Then he almost embraced Duane, would probably have done so but for the dark grinness that seemed to be coming over the man. Instead he glowed, he sputtered, he tried to talk, to wave his hands. He was beside himself. And hisangers crowded closer, eager, like hounds ready to run. They all talked at once, and the word most significant and frequent in their speech was Chessling. MacNelly clapped his fist in his hand. "This'll make the adjutant sick with joy. Maybe he won't have it on the Governor? We'll show them about the ranger service. Chesedline! How'd you ever do it? Oh, I knew you were a wonder. But I was sure you'd kill him." "He didn't give me a chance," replied Duane. "Now, captain, not the half, nor the quarter of this job's done. The gang's coming down the road. I saw them from the train. They'll ride into town on the dot—twenty-third." "How many?" asked MacNelly. "Poggin, Blossom Kane, Pan Handle Smith, Boldt, Fletcher and another man I don't know. These are the picked men of Chesedline's gang. I'll bet they'll be the fastest, hardest bunch you rangers ever faced." "Poggin! that's the hard nut to crack! I've heard their records since I've been in Val Verde. Where's Knell? They say he's a boy, but hell and blazes." "Knell's dead" "Ah!" exclaimed MacNelly softly. Then he grew businesslike, cool, and of harder aspect. "Duane, it's your game today. I'm only a ranger under orders. We've absolutely faith in you. Make your plan, quick, so I can go around and post the boys who're not here." "Put one man at each end of this street just at the edge of town. Let him hide there with a rifle to block the escape of any outlaw that we might fail to get. I had a good look at the bank building. It's well situated for our purpose. "Put four men up in that room over the bank—four men, two at each open window. Let them hide till the game begins. They want to be there so in case these foxy outlaws get wise be they're down on the ground, or inside the bank. The rest of your men put inside behind the counters where they'll hide. "Now go over to the bank, spring the thing on the bank officials and don't let them shupt on the bank. You want their aid. Let them make sure of their gold. But the clerks and cashier ought to be at their desks or window when Poggin rides up. "He'll glance in before he gets down. They make no mistakes, these fellows. We must be slicker than they are, or lose. When you get the bank people wise, send your men over one by one. No hurry—no excitement—no unusual thing to attract notice in the bank. "All right. That's great. Tell me, where do you intend to wait?" "I'll wait in front—just inside the door," replied Dugan with an effort. "Why?" demanded the captain. "Well," began Dugan slowly. "Poggin will get down first and start in. But the others won't be far behind. They'll not get swift till inside. The thing is—the mustn't get clear inside, because the instant they do they'll pull guns. That means dath to somebody. If we can we want to stop them just at the door." "But will you hide?" asked Mac- Nelly. "Hide!" The idea had not occurred to Duane. "There's a wide-open doorway. A sort of round hall, a vestibule, with steps leading up to the bank. There's a door in the vestibule, too. It leads somewhere. We can put men in there. You can be there." Duane was silent. "See here, Duane," began MacNelly nervously. "You shan't take any undue risk here. You'll hide with the rest of us?" "No!" The word was wrenched from Duane. MacNelly stared, and then a strange, comprehending light seemed to flit over his face. "Duane, I can give you no orders today," he said distinctly. "I'm only offering advice. You need take any more risks? You've done a grand job for the service—already. You've paid me a thousand times for that pardon. You're redeemed yourself. "The Governor, the adjutant-general—the whole State will rise up and honor you. The game's almost up. We'll kill these outlaws or enough of them to break forever their power. I say, as a ranger, need you take more risk than your captain?" Still Duane remained silent. He was locked between two forces. And one, a tide that was bursting at its bounds, seemed about to overheat him. Finally that side of him, the retreating self, the weaker, found a voice. "Captain, you want this job to be sure?" he asked. "I've told you the way. I always know the kind of men to be met. Just what I'll do or where I'll be I can't say yet. In meeting like this the moment decides. But I'll be there!" MacNelly spread wide his hands, looked helplessly at his curious and sympathetic rangers, and shook his head. "Now you've done your work—I tid the trap—is this strange move of yours going to be fair to Jennie Lee?" asked MacNelly in deliberate, low voice. Like a great tree chopped at the roots Duane vibrated to that. He looked up as if he had seen a ghost. Mercilessly the ranger captain went on: "Jennie Lee came to me in Austin. She was heartbroken. She reproached me. She begged me. She told me of my mother. She did all she could to get me to fetch you back, and if I hadn't been powerless I would have done so."

Cwing o the indisposition of Judge John L. Ingram the bench of the Police Court was occupied several days by judge H. A. Maurice who expedited the business just as though he had been so occupied for many years. The New Year's day docket was particularly interesting. Aggie Fetha, a dark skinned colored man appeared limping on a crutch. He was charged with stealing a 32 calfbite pistol. his age was 28 years and he halted from North Carolina. He explained that he had obtained a loan of four dollars on the pistol. His white accuser said he had shot him when he saw him in the back yard. Judge Maurice gave a sharp look at him, saw his condition and directed him to leave the courtroom. "He has been punished enough" he said. The colored man hobbled away. Artie E. Anderson a white sailor 32 years of age was charged with passing worthless checks and with being trunk. He did not get any money on the checks. In reply to Judge Maurice's questions he said he was originally from Montgomery County, Va. He was born in Christiansburg, Va. but left there when a child. Judge Maurice, to the pts one's discomfiture showed a surprising knowledge of that section of the country and disputed his statements relative to that section. At the conclusion of the grilling cross-examination the Judge observed, "I lived in that section four years my self." "Ten dollars fine for being drunk and nictice days in jail for passing bad checks," was the decision or the court. One colored girl was there for whiskey. Upon being asked if she had been before the court for whiskey before she asserted positively that she had not. "Have you ever been here before upon any charge?" asked His Honor. "Yes sir, I was here once before for fighting." "I know" said Judge Maurice. "I remember seeing you here before." he has an uncanny recollection of faces. Clerk Ben Tucker is a master in this respect. L. J. Hayden, the Jeweler is receiving much praise these days both as to his repair work on watches, clocks and jewelry and the curative powers of his herb remedies.

New York, Dec. —. One of the greatest lasting achievements the country can expect of the incoming Hoover administration is the reorganization of antiquated government machinery at Washington, predicts Irving T. Bush, industrial authority and one of the first Hoover-for-President leaders. The founder of the $50,000,000 bush Terminals system has long been an outspoken advocate of efficiency in government. "It is impossible to compare our present government methods with the methods of private business, because no private business could live long enough to get within halling distance of governmental in-fluency," he writes in his recently published book, "Working With the World." Forecasts Hoover Reforms With Hoover at the presidential helm, he forecasts that the modernizing program carried out in the Department of Commerce will be extended throughout the federal departments with the merging of bureaus, the weeding out of inefficient or unnecessary workers and the "cutting out of miles of red ape." In his book, Bush has advocated increased salaries for government executives because, he points out, only the exceptionally wealthy and successful men can afford to hold such posts today. "Fifty-thousand-dollar a year men should command positions as department heads.
