The net tossera from the Hussell township carried the scrap to (heCubs the greater part of the gnmand were ahead of Grecncastle, 12 to 11 at the half. The victory by the Tiger Cubs gives them the tight to paiticipate in the regional meet at Attica on Saturday. The sectional championship ma> prove costly, however, as Myron King. Greencastio’s star center, if hobbling around on crutches as result of an ankle injury sustained in the last quarter of Saturday night's bat tie. Goodman, "hot shot” Tiger Cub fonvard, is also on the hospital list with a wrenched knee. Coach Marion Crawley said Monday morning that he did not know whether either boy would be in shape for the regional, Russellville sent an inspired team on the floor in the final game. Although the Cubs held a 7-4 advantage at the quarter, the Bees came right back to ring up 8 points to 4 by the Cubs and led 12-11 at the rest intermission. The Greencastle defense tightened in the third period, holding th" Bees to a lone free throw, but at the same time the locals were having a hard time finding the range with I Oliver doing the only scoring. Myron ! King went out with nn injured ankle | in the closing frame and with GoodI man also on the bench, with a bad knee, Grecncastle fans were far from optimistic. However, Lester Oliver. Hammond and Taylor contributed a total of nine points, holding Russellville to tnree and the contest ended with the local aggregation winning,

25 to 16.

In the 3 o’clock game of the semifinals, Grecncastle trounced Roachtlale, 51 to 18. The Cubs held a 28 to 8 advantage at the half. I? the 2 p, m, tilt, Russellville

Congress is being snowed under by an avalanche of mail pouring in from all parts of the United States relative to the president’s plan for revision of the supreme court. Most of the letters thus far received are opposed to the proposal, bv.t New Dealers feel that th* tide will turn in their favor as the debate proceeds. Although congressmen are more skepticel of the value of such correspondence since the recent propaganda campaigns sponsored by the utility interest*, Dr. Francis Townaend and the Rev. Charles Coughlin, a minority are doubtless Influenced by the "voice of the people". It is possible, then, that if the vote on the issue is close, this minority may swing the decision.

CHAPTER VIII • TyjOW, Lou, tnke it easy,” enti] h^r ' ’ husband. “I wasn’t there, but here’s the way I piece it together. Wild Bill here did something be don’t usually do— he spouted off his mouth a lot before that crowd; told ’em what he was going to do. Folks (ell me Jack Me(Call sneaked away about that time. I figure Jack run to Lattimer’a utore and warned

aim.’’

"I reckon mayhe did,” agreed Wild Bill. "Anyway, when 1 went In his store, he said he wasn’t armed. I told him to get his hands on some shootln’ irons and come out on the street. Then I went out to wait for him." Cody inter-

vetted:

"Then the next thing Bill knew, three soldier* had picked a fight with him. So Bill finished ’em and got himself shot In the arm.” Mrs. Cody sighed, with relief, and with some amazement. There was a time when she could not have condoned a killing. • | bet Lattimer put them up to It." “Try to prove that to the Army,” said Will Bill. "But I ain’t through, i’ll get Lattimer If It takes—” ■■Now, Mr. llickok,” abjured Louies Cody, "don’t talk about killing anybody else." Darkness had come. She went about the lighting of the lamps, at last to turn, with a finger to her iins. ’ There's someone at the

door.”

It was Calamity Jane, who entered quietly, tossing her deerskin saddlebag* beeide the leanto of the cabin. “Did they hurt you much?” she asked hurriedly of Bill. Without waiting far an answer, she knelt beside him. "I've brought a horse for you, Bill. Custer thinks you murdered those men. lie's ordered you

brought in. Dead or alive.” Louisa gasped. ’’But he was only defending hia own life." "Thanks, ma'am,” said Wild Bill. “But I can't prove it.” •‘You will when you ftnd latRimer,” added Cody bitterly. "Drag it out of him." "Lattlmer’s gone,” cut In Calamity Jane. “Pulled out with his wagon

train.”

“Where for?” There was a gleam in Wild Bill’s eyes. “I don’t know. Maybe up north. Into the Black Hills country, where that big gold find’s been made. Evei ybody’s floodin’ in. That’s where those soldiers were headin' for— aimed to uesert and go up there and dig gold. Lattimer prob’ly dug up some for ’em right here, if they'd kill you.”

“Come on, Bill,” Calamity Jane begged. “They’ll be searching this house soon. You’ve got to get out—to get going, away from here."

"Well, I’m glad llickok tried to kill them first!” Cody looked at bis wife lu amazement. “Well. I don’t care. Will, they had no right to try to murder Mr. Hickok." It was the first touch of humor that had come into this stricken company. Cody chuckled. Calamity Jane rocked with laughter. A grto creased the pain-ridden features of Wild BUI

Hickok.

“Tbanks. ma’am,” he said again. Then came sudden silence. Once more someone was at tbs door. Quickly Wild Bill was hiddeu in the leanto. It was well. This was a courier from General Custer with orders for Cody. He must report at once. At last, the soldier departed. Calamity Jane moved swiftly. "Come on. Bill." she begged. "They’ll be searching this bouse soon. You’ve got to get out—to get going, away from here.” She .orced him to the door, i£ody and Louisa watching them, saying a silent goodby. Thsr* was prideful

straightness In Louisa Cody’a shoulders now. Once she had recoiled from this woman, now she admired her, wished well for her and for the wounded man she worshipped. As for Calamity Jane— Outside the little cabin, in the darkness. Calamity looked upward to the shadowy figure which had, slowly and painfully, mounted her

horse.

“I guess this is goodby. Bill,” she said slowly as she tied on the saddle-

bags.

llickok did not answer directly. “What’s going to become of you.

Clam?"

“Oh, I’ll move on. Somewhere around Deadwood, I guess. It’s a big country.” “Somewhero around Deadwood, eh?” asked Wild Bill Hickok. Then with a sudden softness which belied the man: "Yeh, It’s a big country, Clam. Maybe our trails'll

cross.”

Then he was gone, a vague 8gtire In the nigjit. ■ But Calamity Jane remained there, staring after him. In was months later that two men faced each other over a campfire, deep in the Black Hiiis. Both were gaunt from many an arduous day on tha trail. Both were footweary, their . boots were scarred and scuffed. "What became of your boss, Bill?” asked Wil-

liam Cody.

"Injuns got mine. What happened to yours?"

“Same here. Say. good thing I found you this mornin’- I'm out of

grub.”

"So'm I, Cody. 'Cept for some bacon. Cbok it up.” All right. Been lookin’ for you a long time, Bill. Custer sent me.” There was a long pause. Then: "How’s Louisa, Cody?" “Oh. fine. Gone back to St. Louis to bn with her mother, when—" “Uh-huh. Hope it’s a boy—like you, Cody. An’ she's a line woman. Fixed up my arm fine. Which reminds me. Why'd Custer send you after me?” Cody prepared to fry the bacon, “That’s easy. Bill. He says I a the only man you wouldn’t kill.” “Then the orders still stand, Cody? Bring in Hickok, dead or alive?” "Dead or alive, Bill. And 1 ain’t golu’ to bring you It dead.” Again there was a long pause. "Then.” said Wild Bill Hickok. “you ain't goin’ to bring me iu.” Cody regarded hi u. (To be continue*,)
