These points Rose conveyed by suggestion rather than direct statement, bulJthey were none the less clear. She describ ed the peculiar turn that had thrown Speed and Maitland into a clash of their own with Fallon on the trail, al lowing Pete t6 win free over the pass.

But Maitland, and Pete rescued him as Fal con waa about to lynch him.‘ They made for their camp^at Bennett—Pete and Maitland with the horses, by one route, Speed* by another. Led by the lead dog, Rusty, they found Ikilton’s deserted cabin. The second morning, Dalton staggered in mortally wound ed—and died before he could tell Pete where the claim was. . . Two Mounties _arrest Speed and Maitland for the murder (of which they ar murder (of wrhich they are innocent) j of a Siwash on Lake Leborge. Gar-j net defended them at their trial. Cath- cart said he had long thought the mysterious Siwash was a blind for a white prospector who wanted to keep his gold discoveries to himself, and the finding of the dead Siwash and the dying Dalton proved this point. He thought Maitland and Speed had known of a letter Dalton had sent to Owens mentioning his gold find. Rose Valery, the singing girl, started her story, and told how she ^decided to sing in the gold camps when a man who heard her voice told her he was going to Nevada and would take Iwr and give her a steer. Rose Valery, the singing girl, and a surprise wit ness, is now telling her story 'from the aUnd. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CONSTITUTION NOW WASHING- TON THEME _ , Washington, June 17.-^The Consti-i , ... , , tution of the U,pited States has family life, that the ’ itterni ington as it is now getting, since the nd more-on-y not whore wo was occasion'wh« th^ Hon. Tim Wade and the court—if they had been interested in the gold at that' time, they could have killed Fallon without' incurring blame, and w^th a big sav ing of trouble to themselves. “ ^ On their return to Skagway for their horses and outfit, she had been all the more determined to use them because of their feud with Fallon, and had tirifed to int^^st them in the gold. Her Warning about the shell-dealer was due to a i;ip she received from Lefty, who had shadowed the man for her. Remembering how the stranger had been killed in Carson, she sus pected Fallon of having prompted this ambush. “It was only two weeks ago," she expfained, “that I heard of their being held here for the murder of a Siwash on Lake Lebarge last November. I knew they were innocent; knew it, among other reasons, because I had Dalton’s letter to Ow^ns, and a read- able proof of who was'guilty-, There *‘"Oc*"t) cfiwM , joker in the game." Wade stirred in his chair. The crowd murmured, fearing another objection. “Part of Dalton’s letter read,” Rose quoted evenly, “ ‘You wouldn’t recog nize me on sight. I’ve been living na tive style, to kbep the prospect and so on covered. Wait at the head of Lake Lebarge till the trail’s clear after the freeze-up. If we miss connections on the lakes, camp there till spring, and if you don’t hear from me before then, float the outfit down 'to the creek the drawing shows.’ “That’s how I, know the accused men are innocent. My motive in ex plaining this is to tMK the law’s ven geance where it belongs, on lookin’.” His eyes rested on the sun^^ burnished gold of Pete’s hair, and strayed back to his partner with a ghost of his old-time ruminating smile. “Gold is where you find itj like —Steimr said.’’ The strength seemed to ebb. from him; he looked dimly at the wavering pools of light and shadow on the wall, and then in wonder at a bright glory of cloud floating across the far azure glimpse that showed through the win^ dow opening. It was as if a mirage had crossed hiy eyes in their last gleam of life. Campbell, one of the early Tammany congressmen, propounded on the floor of the house the claSsis question: “Whait’s the Constitution between friends?’’ From being a shadowy something in the background of the political pic- It is one of ironies of that strflnge ■| mixture of emotions that go to make re should be so, much of, actual bitterness in the rela- tionship between parents-arid adoles cent children, the older generation and the younger. In fact, in the dealings between the elders and the youngsters, if we were to judge by mealtime amenities, janglings and wranglings, feet together. A third is to stand on genuine dislike might well be cOnsi constituent of fsJl id^i to cure the flat feet! There are a number of good exer cises for the person who really-has flat feet (and I’d let a doctor decMn* that; for it takes more than mere . looks to make the diagnosis). One of them is to walk a crack in the ' or a chalk line, barefoot; all flat foot exercises should be done barefoot, w the way. Another is to sit flat on th» floor and try to bring the soles of tlui the J ered the major ture, the Constitution has become the theme of almost every conversation.

Not since the free silver issue, upon w’hich the presidential election of 1896 B\it something of that same ten- turned, has any fundamental question acity of will which had held Dalton against the cliff brought him back for a n)oment, and Maitland heard him say, as he drifted out on that last trail, “Give Rose a hand, Bud — she run a great bluff for ye. Tell her—I was plumb wrong—about w’omen. Tell her—how much—I liked the singjn’.” (The*End). Joanna Mill News stirred up such widespread popular in terest, as the question raised by the supreme court’s decision invalidating the NR A. Eyes On “Grass Rooters’* It is not stretching the facts to^^as- they might, if they do not grfsp this fact. In life it is always the nearest thing that jbulks largest, just as it does in photography or painting; and yithe irritation that we feel oyer the lit tle things like the jarring of one per sonality in the home against Another, is very likely to overshadow tne hap piness that most folks in the family have in each other’s company. I aril reminded of a woman who was sincerely in love with her husband, but who let the little cares of daily living rather Overwhelm her. Her husband died as a comparatively young man; - r sert that a very considerable number of senators and representatives who have been willing and even eager to go along withfcthe administrlltion are beginning to [^ seriously concerned; then she'reaUzed'whaT'sV'h^^^ over the outlook foi next year s elec- missed in lettinor the little trivial wnr. "There was a light-fingered person on the ship,” Rose saidi “who had come North to dip for gold in miners* pockets. I suggested that he try Ow ens*, and so I obtained Dalton’s own letter.” “Where is the letter now?” the Judge asked when the hum caused by this strange admission subsided. “I litill have it.” ' Judge Dugas tugged meditatively at the white linen neckpiece under his chin. ' Rose continued carefully. She had resolved ~to outplay Fallon for the gold. If Owens had been dependable^ she might have told him the truth who has taken human life, the man who shot the U. S. marshall Jn the train hold-up. I mean FaHon. Sly mo tive is to see him ride into his own deadfall and laugh in his face!" Her eyes flashed at Fallon’s clench ed hand. “If it takes proof to open—” the low, vibrant tone of the words seemed to fill tihe room—“it’a in his hand. The lucky, clover-leaf nugget. He was afraid of Malorie’s interest in lhat piece of gold. It disappeared from the marshal’s safe when he left Skag way.' A telltale bit of evidence he Goldville, June 13.—Mr. and Mrs. P. E.

As it was, she laid her own plans.

Her accouriT of what followed ex plained several questions that had puzzled them. She ascribed (^ens’ death to fear.

There' was a stunning double report, ration’s gun went out of his hand us if he had thrown it away. With a blankly staring look he sagged in a crumpling fall, dropped by a .bullet in the brain from a gun which Speed had jerked from the holster of the belated pOiice guard. It seemed that his body was stili falling when Speed jumped the court room floor and leaped for the open window. 1 The fractional margin of anotner in stant or of one wild shot might lyave carried him through. Then, with H»e river before him and a long shore-line of wharves and docked barges, thero is no telling what the Mounted Police might have had to write on their flaw less man-getting record, i But the odds were too steep. A gun 'crashed as his boot touched the sill, and Speed fell backward into the Icourtroom. For an instant the court stood dazed in the swirling smoke. The bar of the prisoner’s dock brokf in splinters; Maitland was struggling in the hold of two police guards, to reach his partner. Yet even in that frozen moment the wheel of justice turned. Judge Dugas looked down on the fallen outlaw with a eni^otis stillness, and then at Wade, whose response, thought no one heard it, was translated to the police guafds. "Release the prisoner." Half-lifting Speed out of a widening pool of blood, Maitland had a blurred awareness of Pete on his other side. .The, outlaw leaned against their sup- porting arnSs, deeply breathing the cool breeze from < snowy peaks that came through the open window. “A doctor—" Maitland tried to say.

Aik yonr I DOANS PILLS ed upon 244)16 public laws passed by congress, and has decided that only 59 ,of them were unconstitutional. In 27 of these cases the decision of the court vvas unanimous. There, have been only 10 of the much criticized “five to four" decisions. Some of the constitutional .sharks are getting a laugh by pointing out that 19 of the laws declared unconsti tutional by the supreme court were enacted between 1920 and 1929, a per iod in which the Republican party was in complete ^control of congress and the executive. What is ‘sauce for the goo.se, is pointed out, is equally good .sauce for the gapder. ^ Matter of Constitution As this is being written there ap pears to be no abandonment of the idea for a general policy of tighten ing federal control over relations which have heretofore been left to the state to regulate. How much of this sort of thing can be done constitution ally is the question. There is talk of promoting inter- istate agreements which could be rati fied by congress; there is also talk' of strengthening and extending the pow ers of the Federal Trade commission, which has been functioning effectively for more than 20 years in settling trade business practices. The question whether ’ even the 8tatea_ have the Ipower to regulate hours of liApr and wages Has come to light witK'the. reexamination of su- premelcourt^decisions. Several cases are cited in which the court held th^ no state had such power, and ;tme in which an act of congress establishing minmum wages for women and chil dren in the District of Columbia to be unconstitutional. There are very few constitutional lawyers in or out of congress who be lieve that the ,Wagner labor disputes bill is constitutional, but under the pressure of the labor lobby it possibly wHI be passed. Cabinet Changes Rumored Some idea of confusion in Washing ton at this time is conveyed l^y the revival of gossip about changes in the administrative set-up. llie latest ru mor is that Postmaster General Far ley js getting out in the fall and that Dan Roper will succeed him in the post office; that Frank C. Wglker will follow Roper as secretary of com merce. Rumors that Madam Secretary Per kins and Attorney General Cummings are about to resign are unverified. There ^re at least three men after the job as secretary of war, from which, gossip hps it, Mr. Dern will, shortly retire. General Hugh Johnson is cred ited with cabinet aspirations. So isl' * ■ Joseph C. Kennedy, chairman of the Securities Exchange commis-sion, ^nd Frank Murphy, governor-general of the Philippine.'!. In the meant^ie, it can-be .set down as a fact, that^the administration is having trouble finding good projects upon which to spend the president’s frilff billion dollars work relief fund. ItTs rumored a personal feud is devel oping between Harold Ickes apd Harry Hopkin.s, relief administrator. Smart observers are betting on Hopkins to win.
