time upon the subject of Irene and the
peculiar circumstances under which she
was placed, when his attention was ar
rested by two men who had been hidden
behind one Of the massive pillars. They
seemed to be natives--1ndians; but their
movements were suspicious. Clarence
was sure that he had seen them several

previous notice of them, yet until the

their logging him.

The young officer had not gone a dozer

seal of its approval on both newspapers
The Chicago Record has today tise
largest circulation Of any newspaper

largest paid circulation of any newspa-
