CHAPTER XI.
THE SILENT WARNING


Upon the doorstep stood the youth Leon-
ard Ferret, the snow driving over him. He
stepped breathlessly inside. and said boldly {;
Pray excuse me, but have missed my
way in the storm, and seeing q light here,
thought might find shelter for awhile"
The three men looked at each other q
while In perplexity. The hunchback shut
fled back into the room, while the unwilling
host looked at the newcomer with a glance
of recognition.
Royal saw his partner could not decently
turn out the hunchback before the stranger
and 80 he welcomed the young mau cordi-
ally, never guessing, for the acquaintance
ship abroad had been very slight, who it
was he thus made a party to his plans-the
son OF bis greatest enemy.

him up, and got weather-bouud. You are

at random, and was scarcely prepared for
the Endorsement Of his hospitality which
the 'old servant offered.
And play, il you WILL" the Rat said,
himself taking a seat at the table the huuch-
back following his example eagerly.
The newcomer glanced toward the table
interrogatively.

TO be sure. Pm quite ready" replied the
lad, hastily, although he had to confess
that he could not play for money, having,
as he said, lost his purse. Royal smiled,
but the cripple at once insisted upon help
ing him from bis goodly store of gold and
notes displayed ostentatiously upon the Ia
BILE.
Now although he had gained admission
into the house, Leo once more felt thor
oughly at his wits end what TO do next.
To ask bluntly after the girl was not to
be thought Of.
Clearly his only chance lay in finding out
how the land lay.
The welcome he had received and the
place itself were both very different from
what be mad expected.

But that moment was enough for Royal
to shut the door, aud snatch at the whistle
which the crooked spy had lifted to his lips
"a trap a trapn he cried, throwing
down the whistle, and rapidly shooting
every bolt in the door into its socket.
At the word the lad and his new friend
sprang to their feet. "Hold himl" cried the
latter as he sprang to seize the traitor. The
dwarf had tottered back dumfounded at
the sudden failure Of his trick. But he was
too quick for his cousin, whose dash at him
he avoided with extraordinary alersness
He Owed under his outstretched arm and
made for the door leading into the inner
room.
For a moment the lad stood stocksstilI, q
prey to conflicting emotions. The hunch-
backs movement. however, recalled the adj
vice he had received, and, believing the
time TO be- now ripe for the rescue, be
bounded across the oripple's path, to foil
bis second attempt 70 escape.

Cooperative Savings and Loan.

The Sioux Falls Cooperative
Savings and Loan association is
daily growing in popularity. 1t
was first organized at Brookings,
but headquarters were moved to
Sioux Falls to facilitate the growth
of the company and give it a better
chance to secure large loans and a
larger membership. Its growth
has been marvellous and reflects
much credit upon it's officers, all
of whom are we'll known to our
people. They are: Hon. r. F.
Pettigrew, United States Senator,
president; Hon. John E. Diamond,
United States national bank exam
iner, vice-president; Hon. H. H.

chased lots on Pierce street westof
where Brooks furniture store
used to stand and are erecting a
building 24x70 feet. The building
will be constructed in a snug
manner and may be used for re-
ceptions, dances, sociables, besides
making a permanent place for the
G. A. r. to hold their meetings.
After all the talk by other organ
izations Robert L. McCook Post is
the first to erect a building for
their use. This may spur the
Masons and Odd Fellows to begin
operations.

Gasoline Flames.

Last Monday Mrs. G. F. Haber
had an experience with gasoline
which that lady will not forget
very soon. The tank to her gaso-
line stove leaked and when she
was lighting the stove it ignited
the escaping gasoline about
the tank, and the room was all
ablaze in a seconds time. Mrs.
Haber had the presence of mind
to get some blankets and throw
over the stove to smother the
flames. The blankets were badly
burned and in few minutes they
were removed, as the flames seemed
to be out, but no sooner had the
blankets been removed than the
fire again burst forth and there
was a lively time again. The
paper was burned from the walls
and the whole room and furniture
blackened with smoke, but the
plucky lady stayed by until she
had again put out the fire. 1t is
lucky that the tank did not explode
and it seems wonderful that it did
not, as the whole top was melted
off by the heat.

Forward Not Backward.

Every year the REGISTER has
advocated the building of another
railroad and just as often has the
matter been discussed by our citi-
zens-some for and some against
the proposition. 1t is believed
that the business men now see
that something must be done to
further the progress of our COM
mercial interests. The city must
move forward or backward. The
city, while we are proud of its
growth and present proportions, is
behind the country. There is no
such thing as standing still, it is
either advance or retreat, which
shall it be?
