THE PERFORMANCE IS WEAK

Ignominious Failure of the Admin lstrauon Trust-Busting Campaign. It has been agreed by the adnib i-:: at ion that the attorney general must take an appeal to the supteme UM from the decision of Judge Humphrey declaring corjoratiou officials cannot be reached by the antltrust law, who have given information to the bureau of corporations. So far the trust-busting campaign of IT 1 dent Roosevelt has all eud I in smoke and the trusts and corporations are free to continue their combinations in a nt of trade t pne:it cornpetition and plundt r the consumers by charging unreasonable prices for theii l-reduct.

She nodded her head as they reached the farther bank and she took the lead again. But the black mustang was weakening: hi gait wavered, his e were bloodshot At last he stumbled and fell on one knee, the leg snapped, and he lay quivering across the trail. The girl turned abruptly and came back. Mead took the mail bags from the mustang's back and threw them to her. "I'll hold 'em back while ye git a start." be said, laconically, drawing his pistols. He turned to face the trail. "Good-by," he called over his shoulder. ' Stranper! '" the girl said, quietly. He whirled and faced a small pistol she had drawn from her belt. "Git up behind, quick. I ain't a-goin' to budge a foot ef ye don't," she added as he hesitated. Mead laughed aloud as he thought how quickly she had turned his own game upon him. Then she laughed also as he turned and mercifully shot the black mustang, before leaping up behind her. The yellow mustang struggled forward bravely under the double burden, but the on test was unequal. The hoof-

beats behind them grew louder and at j

last they could hear the noise of guttural voices from behind the turns in the winding trail. A few moments later an arrow struck fire in the roadway bem !e them. Then, as Mead rea. hed'down for a revolver, the girl uttered a lew cry. There was the fort, less than a mile away, its bare walls looming gray in the distance. Together they spurred the straining beast beneath them down the long incline, while arrows and an occasional bullet whirred and sang about them. They con'i h3r no-' the quick breath of the tired horses behind them, the triumphant shouts, the leat of stinging thongs upon a dozen haunches. Now came the short up-hill stretch to the fort, a little more than a quarter of mile away, but the exhausted mustang shivered with each bound up the ascent, bis reach growing shorter, his pace slower. Two arrows strack him almost at the same instant, and be fell heavily. But Mead had Jumped clear, carrying the girl with him. They were on their feet quickly. Run!" be called. His first Bhot ran? out. and an Indian trailed from the raddle. Others went down before his steady aim as he ran backward up the in'in His left arm feH limp and the pistol dropped to the ground. Someone picked it up. Some one was firing calmly beside him. The horss were almoc on them and the sneering, gloating, painted facs. when he heard vaguely a rumbling, many-voiced cheer behind him. then the foremost Indians looked beyond him and wheeled suddenly and dashed down the hill in scattering confusion. A few days later a man. his arm stl'l In a sling, rode down the hill from For; Fnlon A girl rode beside him. The man looked at her furtively now and then and his rugged face showed embarrassment. "Say," he said at last. "I've rot a redcolored temper. I'm mean. I am." "Huh!" she answered, staring at ths trail The man hesitated for a momen "I've got $14.17 exact." he remarked The girl did not change her posttiom The man was silent for a moment or two. ' Where'ro ye hcadin' fer?" he akei with something like a sigh. She turned and looked at him. a smile quivering about her full Ilp. "Wbere're you-all goin'?" she asked, meat ngly. The two horses came clone togetbet and stopped short to the tng of their bridles. After a time they went on once more. What !l yer dad say?" asked the rrari. "Dad." returned the girl, patting her mustangs nck caressingly, "be weren't good fer much, tho' he meant right, dad did Ef he's alive, he'll jest go off "boat his bustnes.

Democratic statesmen foretold this break iown of the Republican plan of dealing with the giant corporations. Th4 y advised that under the common raw such unlawful combination could be pro-ecuted. and the supreme court's

r. cent decision in the tobacco case i hows that the incriminating evidence may be compelled from the unwilling ::ps of trust magnates. But that ai- j vice was not adopted by the adminiaration, perhaps, because it was rec- i ommended by Democrats, who would thus share in the political advantage ! that would accrue, but also because it was not spectacular enough to fit i the strenuous mood of the president.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS

What a good time the tariff projected trusts are having plundering the people with high prices, and how full) they must endorse that Rcpublb an Kansas platform, "Let well enough alone.'' The Republicans of New York stye are divided in the opinion of what to do with Odeil, the chairman of the Republican state committee. The faction that follows the president demands that he be thrown out. and another faction is inviting him to retire gracefully. Still another faction favors his retention. This should be a lesson to the Democrats to get together and put their best men for ward. Senator Tillman may be- relied upon to run that railroad rate spei aJ tt has charge or, in spite of the dan, r signals the Republican senators are flashing on the track.
