J Wealth of Warren
Wyoming is one of the “backward states” on the
list of Joseph R. Grundy, the lobby king of the
East, the money raiser of the republican party and
one of the aces of America. Francis E. Warren, for
many years a senator from Wyoming, died last month
in Washington. His estate la conservatively estimated
at $7,000,000. He owned an empire in Wyoming of
which his holdings In Cheyenne were the center. *
His ranch and land holdings extended west to Al
bany county, Wyoming, east into Nebraska, south into
Colorado and north Into the Montana line. Among
his holdings were $4,000,000 In United States Rubber
company preferred shares and $1,875,000 In stock of
the Standard Oil company of Indiana. Both were be
queathed to his widow.
I His successor, Patrick J. Sullivan. Is a ranch king.
A sheep king, a cattle king and an oil king. Sen.
Sullivan is a conservative. He Is a protectionist of an
ultra type but having seen a great light he has let it
be known that In the making of the new tariff meas
ure he will vote “a tariff for everything that needs
protection.” This Is going all the way and not half
1 the way.
Jonn b. Kendrick u tne democratic senator rrom
this “backward state” In the Grundy files. He Is a
native Texan. He is a man of millions. In his youth
‘ he was a range rider. He drove herds from Texas
to Wyoming. Montana and Idaho. He is a mem
bo: of the progressive republican-democratic senate
coalition. He is for the producers of the west and the
south and the country over for that matter.
He is the only democrat in the history of Wyoming
to land a seat in the American senate and to hold
It. He is serving hie third term.
Now Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, a former governor
and a democrat, may make the race for the senate
next year. Wyoming was the first Amerfcan com
monwealth to grant the ballot to woman. This away
back in territorial days. It would be most fitting
for Wyoming to win the distinction of having elect
ed first woman to a seat in the upper house of the
American congress.
Foreign crude is on the free list and the late
Francis E. Warren, a protectionist In everything else,
believed it should be kept on the free list.
Why?
Another Merger
Details of the $15,000,000 merger of the Southwest
Dally Products company, with J. C. Penny, chain
store operator and southern agriculturist, chairman
of the board, have been made public.
E. T. Laubscher will be the vice president of the
combination in charge of its properties in South
' Texas.
It is said the new company will be the largest of its
kind in the United States south of the Mason and
Dixon line, with properties in virtually every south
ern state, and gross sales in excess of $15,000,000
annually.
It is announced, furthermore, that activities di
rected toward the actual operation of dairy farms
• will be educational “and will not In any way be
1 competitive with local dairy fanners.”
Is there a new civilisation? Go read the star*—
or the dally newspapers of American and the world

A republican congressman from Maryland has been
indicted for alleged crooked practices and a close
friend of the president has been caught injthe drag- !
net of the senatorial investigators. Nothing crook- |

Texas Oil and Gas Record

CHAPTER 53
Aunt Bessie handed the Tribune
to Rosalie the next morning when
»he took a cup of coffee to the cell.
•‘Look here, dearie, that Mr. An
irews has been found alive”
Rosalie clutched the paper, and
ler hands trembled until she could
scarcely hold it.
■TRIBUNE REPORTER FINDS
ROY ANDREWS.”
Rowdy! Rowdy had found him!
rears of relief poured from Resa
le's eyes. Aunt Bessie looked at
ler in astonishment. Such relief
die had never seen. The old ma
;ron was so surprised she stood
(patching the girl.
The child must have been telling
the truth. Impossible as it had
iccmed, she was not afraid to have
loy Andrews come back and tell his
story.
“You look happy, Rosalie," Aunt
Bessie smiled.
"Oh.” Rosalie gasped as she re\1
>n. ''they say here it Is almost im
possible for him to live. We must
prav—he must live—he must!”
She grew hysterical, then, and
Hunt Bessie sat down and put her
srm around her. ..
"We will pray, dearie. Well both
pray. Just calm yourself now. Doc
tors are often wrong. Besides, the
paper says he has a chance. That
means he will live. Them doctors
sre just afraid to be too sure.”
•*I knew he couldn t die—when I
love him so—I Just knew it," Rosa
lie said.
Aut Bessie wiped her own eyes.
‘‘Maybe love has kept him alive,
too. dearie. It's a miracle—love is.
I thought I couldn't live when I
last mv Bill. We'd only been mar
ried a year. Three months after
I lost my two-months-old babv and
I been working here in the Jail ever
since. I been going on. That’s what
you have to do. child. You pray
and keep on and everything will
come out all right. You'll see."
She was so soothing that Rosalie
felt almost happy for the first time
In weeks. After all, Roy was alive.
And Peter Clarke would spend all
his millions to make him well. He
would have the greatest specialists
in the country, and the best nurses.
If it were possible for human hands
to save him he would be saved.
Her knees grew weak when she
remembered if he did get well he
would have to be told all the things
that had happened to her— and
how she had stolen the stockings.
What she feared most of all was
to have him know that she had kept
silent after he had been kidnaped
in the plane.
What could she say that would
make Roy understand that she had
really meant to help him and save
his life?
Aunt Bessie patted her tired head,
and told her not to do any more
worrying until Mr. Andrews could
talk.
•‘I'll bring you the afternoon pa
pers," she ffered nindly," and every
time I hear anything about how
your boy friend is getting along 1 11
come in and let you know."
Rosalie smiled at her gratefully.
"You are the only one here who
has believed me. aren't you? You
do believe I’ve told the truth now."
"You can’t expect these men that
been dealin' with criminals all their
lives to be any different, dearie. They
don’t like to have a prisoner keep
anything back. If you’d told them
everything in the first place they'd
have treated you lots different. But.
I understand."
“I didn’t know.” Rosalie said, sor
rowfully. "I thought these dreadful
people had taken Roy away for
money and they might kill him.
Everybody I have ever known has
been good and kind. This is all so
new to me.”
"Someday.’' Aunt Bessie told her.i
“you'll forget all about this and he
happy. You Just wait and see.
When your boy gets well he'll take
you under his wing and take care
of you "
“Maybe—he won’t understand. He
may believe other people.”
“Not If he loves you. dear. Hell
forgive all your mistakes, and you’ll
see the silver lining to all your
clouds. If he doesn’t it isn’t love,
and you mustn’t worry about him.
You must marry someboefc’ who does

WHERE ROSES BLOOM IN
DECEMBER
By Arthur DeV. Carpenter
To the average person ~ho has
never traveled south of the equa
tor. it is difficult to realize that
December in the southern hemis
phere is tantamount to June in the
northern. How out of place do Dec
ember brides and December roses
sound! But December is the charm
ing month of early summer in the
south temperate zone. Think of the
music of song birds, the fresh
growth of vegetation, and the fra
grance and beauty of the flowers
down where the sun’s rays ap
proach the vertical! December 21st
old Sol will turn back toward the
north, and long nights in the far
north, will begin to give way to
lengthening days.

love you then, no matter what you
have gone through."
"There'll never be anyone but Roy.
I wouldn't even care to live if he
thought I was guilty of all these
terrible things. He is the only man
in the world I could care for.”
Aunt Bessie smiled over her
glasses.
‘ There's that nice, tali dark man
that's been to see you so much.
Maybe he's in love with you."
Rosalie thought with a start of
Rowdy, and how she had kissed
him, like a sister, and how good he
had been to her. Maybe he was in
love with her. Everything in the
world she owed to him. He had
found Roy and saved his life.
She did love him. There was no
doubt that he was the best friend
she had in the world. But, she
couldn’t love him like she did Roy.
It was different. Rowdy was like a
big brother. Like Tim grown up.
But she could not put the thought
from her mind. Had Rowdy done
so much for her because he loved
her?
Life had taken on a new light.
Roy was alive—and there was still
hope for them both. When several
reporters waited in a room off de
tective headquarters to interview
her in the afternoon she seemed to
them a changed girl.
With the greatest surprise they
saw a trace of her dimples as she
smiled at them. They had expected
to find her on a verge of collapse
at the return of the man she had
lured to the airport for his “death
ride.” _
