Senator Smith Clings To Faith Of Fathers In Fundamental 'Law Wa.shington, March , 7.—With the fall of the vice president’s gavel con vening the .senate March 4, Senator Ellison D.

Her spirits had phimbed the depths^^and remained th^, It seemed there was no brightness, no beauty, no truth in all the universe. - Now', how'ever, it was different. The sheen of sunlit w'ater, the whispering incense of thp forest, the gay laugh-, ter of the birds, all were responded to' in kind by a thrilling, inner con- '-ciousness. _ Ellen made no further attempt to blind hefsclf to the reason for this change. She knew, and found warm joy in the finding. Ellen Mackay was honest with herself. John Benham was not a half-breed! This knowledge rai^ through her mind like the chiming of some brd- Hant-tohgued bell. Over and over the words rhymed and she clung to them as to something precious^ and indis soluble. There wis a reason for this, and that reason, too, Ellen admitted *to herself. She loved John Benham. She loved' him througlC the ages, it seemed. ' Frpm the first time he had bent those clWr, ,flawless eyes upon her he had' taken her heart though she ward, tense and breathle.s.s, sagged back, shaking and heart-sick. Some thing seemed to have snapped within her. She knew now that-ail along she had been hoping against hope that John Benham was innocent. But here was.proof irrefutable^ Then she straightened again. Whit low was speaking, and his words brought precious comfort. ^ “I think you are lying,” snapped the Trooper. ■ . . 'Then old Moosac stirred. “I know for sure that he lies,” stated the old Indian calmly in his mother tongue. “That man is Deteroux’s man. I have seen them often together. Yes — he lies.” . “What’s that?” Whitlow turned on Moosac sharply, ^peak English. I don’t understand you.” "He says—he says that man is Ber nard Deteroux’s man,” interrupted Ellen, scarcely able to speak for the sudden tumult which broke within her. “Is that' true?” growled Whitlow, whirling back on the breed. “Tell me the truth, or you’ll answer to the law. Speak up.” The^breed paled visibly. But hia Edsop “And—-and 1 have heard of your father’s dilemma. This evidence will no doubt give him complete exoner ation. I’ll see that my version of it gets to H^udson’jS Bay headquarters.” ^You aw very kintfr murmuTed El len. “It—it means so niuch to father.” , “I know,” nodded Whitlow. “But DeteroUfX—the filthy swine! What a rotten game he’s been playing. And he knew the poor devils of Indians would not dare breathe a word of this nefarious traded"in fear of what the Jaw might do to them. The reputation of my organization does not always work as it should, Mis^s Mackay. Well, this much is .settled;” He was thopghtful for a moment. Then he burned with sparkling eyes. “I’<m going to send this shipment hf ffrs Ybrt ’ father can grade them and put down a blanket credit on the books. Then it will be up td him and yourself to see that these‘%,starving tribes you have visited are carried through the coming winter with food and proiier supplies. These supplies can be charg ed out against the fur credit. “And no doubt there are other tribes that Deteroux has not been able to reach yet. When Jhe fails to show up they wilf come slinking in torthe fort witb their furs. They won’t dare wait too long. What do you think of the .scheme?” (Continued Nekt Issue). I and low places opened up.

' / had not realized it until he had tumedilow stepped closer to him, his fingers away from her in the Indian camp and crashed the damning whiskey bottle, against a tree. Then she had known, and the knowledge had exacted a bitterness of thought and feeling that had borne down upon her with a crushing, re sisting weight.. k mattered not, now, tjiat she was oesponsihle for the information that had set this cold, brusque man in the bow of the canoe on Benham’s 'trail. If he were guilty, then she would bat tle side by side with him to do what she could to' brighten whatever ex actness the laiw might impose. If he could,by some’Divine aid; prove his innocence, then she must also be there beside him and ask forgiveness for her part in his accusation.^ She never thought that her utter change in spirit might be noted by sullen features grew obstinate.

He gave a grudg ing nod. ; - - “Oui-oui, M’sieu. I am Deteroux’s man.” “Ah!” Whitlow straightened and found time to flash a triumphant glance at Ellen.

The con- bihle W~dvil and politiCtf Tiherty, and I would as soon think of abolish ing, the Ten Commandments and the Bible as I would the constitution.” The* vim and vitality that have marked his four previous campaigns remain with him, the spring in his step and his intense vigor belying hi4 nejirly 70 yeers of age. Asked for a sta,temetlt, which would reflect his feeling upon rounding out 28 years’ service in the senate. Smith says, “American democracy faces its great est crisis!
