Then we heard Charlie's voice, in an
awed, frightened whisper:


swed, frightened whisper:
"Nat's gone"
We all started, not knowing which
way to run. At that instant we heard
a shout in the little woodshed, which
opened just off the kitchen, followed
by the falling of a heavy body.
"They've got me! They've got
me 70 cried Mats terrified voice.
Exactly what happened next we
never knew. We ran, stumbled and
bumped out of the Shattuck house,
and stumbled, ran and rolled down
the. hill to the road. 1t seemed as il
something was following US all the
way to Charlie Gibbs's house, where
we did not stop until we we're all in
the big, comfortable, well'lighted
kitchen.
And more demoralized lot of boys
could mot have been found in all Of
Caldwell county. Nat was the last
one in, and his eyes fairly started from
his head and he dropped down in q
heap the moment he reached the kitch-
en- door.
"There's where they hit me !" he
gasped, and sure enough just over his
eye there was big swelling, which
was rapidly developing into a black
and blue spot.
The next morning our adventure
was known and talked about all over
town, and there was little studying in
lschool, so great was the excitement.
T. Charles father told his story, and
that lent color to what some of the
wise heads of the town were disposed
to call "boy's yarn" In the after
noon a number of men, including Mr.
Gibbs and Mr.. French, the hotelkeep'
er, decided to visit the Shattuck place
and see if they could discover what
the trouble was. 1t was broad day
light, and the ghosts might not be out
but that didn't discourage Mr.. French
l. They reached the old house and
Iwalked quietly across the floor of the
Esittingroom, and stood in the kitchen
doorway, where Mr.. Gibbs said he hao
first heard the strange sounds. For
few moments everything was still, ther
there came from somewhere below the
M uffled thumps on the floor. In spite
Eof the fact that it was broad daylight
lit made the men vince and turn pale
But Mr.. French was a man who likec
to get at the reason for things, and be
straigbtway went outside and looked
under the house between two of the
blocks that made up the basement wall
At first everything was dark, but as hi
continued to look he saw two bright
objects cleaning out of the shadows
He crawled further under. Then tht
other men saw him jump back sud
denly. The next moment there was s
growing bark, and large black dog
half wild, bolted from under the house
Close up to the joist of the kitcher
floor there was litter of half dozer
Puppies.
What struck Nat? Mr.. French of
fered an explanation the moment hi
stepped into the little woodshed
There on the floor lay hoe that hat
fallep there.
"This hoe," he said, twas standing
right here by the doorway, and wher
Nat jumped out of the kitchen BIZ
foot struck the blade, and of course
the handle flew forward and bit him il
the face. That's easy enough.

{ GRTsTCOUsfNs. 3iiIS:


WYE are thoroughly aware Of the fact
w that if we were to ask the average
individual whether or not he ,patronized
his grocer on business principles or senti-
ment, that he would claim that his pat
rongape was bestowed on business prin-
cipies, and that sentiment had nothing to
do with it. We believe that sentiment
controls the major portion not only OF the
grocery trade, but all other trading as
we'll. The reader of these lines has no
doubt been a regular customer Of a Ger:
tain store for many years, perhaps, ard
has never investigated to find out wheth-
er he can get better values for his money
elsewhere or not. Isn't that sentiment :?

LET THE LAW PROCEED.

When Cain murdered his brother Abel,
an irate and just God is said to have
spoken. When Virginius, in the name
of virtue, killed his daughter, Pagan
gods are said to have applauded the act
and citizens of Rome accorded the slay
er OF his daughter the need of praise due
to one who had wrought great sacrl-
fee in the name of virtue. The annals
of history shall be studied in vain for
praise tor the father-slayer OF his son.
Boulder county deeply feels the dis
grace attendant upon the murder of a
man by his natural and legal father;
and yet there is the consolatory re-
Election that the murderer Mellor is not
Colorado nor yet an American pro-
duction, but foreigner temporarily re-
siding here. That a man should fire d
revolver and take the life of his own son
is something beyond ordinary compre.
hension. The deed paralyzes the brain
and appeals in vain for extenuation.
And yet it is deed done and the man
should have fair trial by jury of his
legal peers. 1t is to be hoped that a
technical supreme court shall not be
called upon to determine the issue at
stake, but that murderer Mellor, if he
really desires to be punished, as he says
he does, shall be accorded the exquisite
pleasure Of contemplating his cruel, in
excusable and guilty act behind prison
bars for the remainder of his worthless
and unnatural career.

haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting and

When the eastern press resort to lies
wholly and entirely in dealing with the
