He also expressed doubt that when California legislators in 1914 enacted the present taxation law as regards vessels that they were farsighted enough to have foreseen and intentionally included trans-Paicfic airplanes within the exemptions of the law. The fight now hinges on the interpretation of what is meant by the word “habitual” as regards the amount of time the clippers spend at their Alameda base. Officials of the company say the average stop of the clipper ships at Alameda between runs to the Orient is only eight days.

CHAPTER VT1 IEFF climbed off the accommodalion train at Junction, Kimble County, Texas, to be welcomed by four substantial citizens of the towin who bad originally called upon the Rangers for aid. ‘T’m Jeff Hawkins.

Within the hour he had brought back a nondescript gang of cowboys, Chlneso laundrymen. and the town's one Important banker. Returning to the saloon he found that the quaking prosecutor had called in Judge Abercrombie and arranged an Impromptu bench, witness stand, etc., on the small stage at one end of the long room. Working like a whirlwind he got them all placed and was just calling the court to order when a soft voice In the doorway Inquired: "Where do I sit?" It was Higgins himself, a florid individual In a white, wide-brimmed hat. who swaggeted into tho saloon as if he owned the place. Under the harsh scrutiny of this bad man, Jeff's witnesses quailed

there? Let's get started. Where’s the sheriff's ofllce?” The sheriff, when he was located at last, proved to be a weak sister. “Naow, Mr. Hawkins — we shouldn't be in a hurry to (ill out this warrant against Higgins. Murder is a serious charge," he protested. “Sure, it's serious! Higgins killed the Hanford brothers In cold blood." “Well.” the sheriff, caught between two fires, hemmed and hawed. "1 agree with you, but . . ■ who's goin to serve this warrant?' “I am. I understand Higgins hangs out at the Eldorndo Saloon. Fill out tho papers now and we II go right down there." “I'm a married man." quavered the rotund officer as he obediently signed the warrant. "Maybe you d better serve it by yourself.’’ The boss of Kimble County was not at the Eldorado when Jeff arrived but the prosecuting attorney was lounging at the long mahogany bar. “It’s impossible," protested this lanky Individual when Jeff Introduced himself and produced the warrant. "1 can't prepare a big case like this in a minute's time. Besides, you'll never get witnesses ... or a jury. And the Court House has been used for a warehouse for a year and a half.” “I’m calling this trial right here In an hour." responded the Ranger llrmly. "There’ll be a Jury . . . and plenty of witnesses. Now get busy.' Bo saying, he strode out ol the
while the pros< utor dodged the issue as muelt a; he could and tho judge finally instructed the Jury that: "If Mr. IK“gins Is guilty he should bo punished, but." clearing his throat, “on the other hand, defendant says he killed In self defense. No one but Ira Johnson saw the shooting, ami he, sad to state, turned out to be a very poor witness. Therefore, we don’t want to bang or send to jail an Innocent man. So you gentlemen of the Jury must weigh the evidence VERY CAREFULLY." This was too much for Jeff. Leaping from his plac in the impromptu courtroom’ be stepped forward and faced the panel. “There is only one verdict.” he thundered. “You know it as well as 1 do. So forget what the Judge Just said." “I object," cried the defense attorney. "Sit down an’ shut up." Jeff wheeled upon him. Then, returning to the jury, he continued. “There's only one way to clean up a county like Kimble—get rid of men like Higgins for good. If you don't respect your own courts of law, you'll never get away from lawlessness. Are you cowards? Are you afraid to speak your thoughts—or are you citizens of a great state?” The Jurymen hung on his words, but suddenly the spell was broken by a mellow voice from the back of the saloon. “Jest a minute,” said the newcomer who plainly war one of Higgins' i»ea. reach fpr that
I gun. Ranger. My partner and me has I got you covered. Jess," he added io his boss, who occupied the prison* | er s bench, "Move over. I want to I hit tills Mr. Hawkins right between the eyes.” As Higgins smilingly obeyed, a pistol cracked. It was not Hawkins who fell, however, but the man who had interrupted him. As the other Higgins supporter whirled In surprise, the gun cracked again and he also fell forward on his face. “1 thought them boys was lackin' in dignity for a court of law," remarked Sam McGee as he stepped nonchalantly Into tho saloon. "1 can't understand men that's got so little respect for law an order. Judge, proceed with the trial." Ho winked covertly at Jen. "As Judge and Coroner, both, cf Kimble County. I find these worthless skunks come to their untimely end through their own willful negligence,” orated Abercrombie after heaving a deep sigh of relief. "They were a little bit slow on the draw. Now, gentlemen of the Jury, havt you reached a verdict?" "Guilty as . ." began the foreman leaping to hi feet. The rest of th* sentence was drowned lit a buist of wild cheering as spectators to this strange trial let loose their enthusiasm Kn wing he was licked at last, Higgins yawned mightily an l held out his wrists to the sheriff for the handcuffs which were awaiting him. "I sentence Jeff Higgins to a term of twenty live years at hard labor at Huntsville! Court ts closed!" the Judge nearly w hooped in his relb f Several hours later Jeff and Sam were lounging against the long bar of that same Eldorado Saloon. The place was crowded with townspeople celebrating the passing of the incubus which had sucked them dry for years. ”1 want you to do something for me." remarked Jeff as he gulped his third drink. "I'm listenin'.” grinned his pal. “It's all off, Sam." Jeff resumed after a long pause. "You go your way an’ I'll go mine. You're not going to do business In Kimble County after all. You re leaving It the way I'm leaving It,” "Why you old sclssor-hill!" Sam stared as if he had seen a ghost. "Why this sudden change ot hear;? Was It because the good citizens bore made up a purse and bought you that ranch as a token ol^ippreelation for your good work?* "It wasn't that. Sam." Jeff refused to take offense at this thrust. "I don't know what's happened to me since 1 came down here . ... but I've changed my mind 'bout our partnership . . . this deal down here . . . everything.” Sam drank his drink in silence and for a time listened to the music of a band which now occupied the stage where the trial had taken place such a few hours before. Finally he leaned his elbows against the bar and gazed thoughtfully inw the fly-specked mirror behind It. "1 don't know what it's all about . . . but If that’s the way you feel. It's good enough for me.” he said softly. '‘Thanks, Sam." Jeff's voice was hoarse with emotion. "Let’s have another drink, and call It quits." Then, as they elicited glasses. “Here's to you. and 1 hope we never meet again." “We can't help meeting again." McGee answered bitterly as he swallowed his liquor at a gulp. “I hope we don't have to shoot It out when we do.” He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, then walked out of the Eldorado without a word of farewell. fTo be continual)
