CHAPTER x
JUST A PIECE OF PAPER.


Job Hendricks passed an uneasy
night for he constantly was haunt
ed by the belief that there was some
one in the corridor moving back and
forth, and occasionally paused to
take a look at him as he lay thare
in the moonlight.
Once or twice he had risen and
gone to the door to peer out, but
found no one, and then stumbled
old fool to be in such constant
state of fear over nothing.
Finally he fell asleep from sheer
exhaustion, and the sun was high
when he awoke and reviewed the
events Of the day before.
What he had to do he must do
quickly, for 1t seemed that he was
not altogether safe himself, and he
felt that he could not trust Ellison
Once he is free referring to the
school teacher, and the young peo-
pie are united, and I have settled
matters with that old rascal 1
shall go back to my old home with a
smiling face" he said to himself, as
/ he made his scanty toilet. Thinking
over plans for the future made him
alternately merry ana sad, but the
of satisfaction.
After hasty breakfast he made
up his mind that he would try and
find out how Dick had Jared since
his experience of the night before,
and whether they had taken any
precautions against his repeating his
nocturnal ranble.
He approached the building from
the back, concealing himself behind
the bushes that had sheltered him
on his last visit. He had a good view
Of the place where young Barnett
was confined, and noted that the
window was now protected with new
| iron bars, instead OF the flimsy ones
| that had been there formerly.
AS Job watched, an utter stranger
to him appeared at the window and
peered out. Though he stood there
for an hour or more, he did not see
the young school teacher, and at last
turned away, believing that he must
/ have been removed to some safer Sc
| clusion.
THAT prank or his may cost him

he enjoyed before," feeling disap-
pointed in his visit. We'll, guess
he thinks it paid. It will brace him

IRON DEPOSITS ARE NEAR.
Discovery Near Valley, Wash.-ore 5
Feet Wide.

Thirty-two feet of the highest grade
hematite ever mined in the United
States has been opened on the Iron
Hill mine, which has been in operation
under Great Northern management for
several months past
The mine is 10 miles west of Valley,
Wash, on the S. F. & NJ railway. 1t
was acquired last summer by officials
of the Great Northern railway through
efforts of DR.. j. f. keddy. The pllce
paid was over $4,000.
Work has been in progress since the
railway people secured the property,
the force being maintained at about 25
men. A large number of prospecting
shafts were sunk that did not encoun-
ter the ore. Finally deeper workings
at the top Of the ridge were made anu
a crosscut struck the vein about three
weeks ago. Immediately the superin-
tendent reduced the force in the shaft
to half a dozen of his men whom he
had brought here from the eastern iron
mines, and every effort was made to
keep the discovery secret. The bal
ance of the crew were sent into the
surrounding territory systematically
Over 80 claims have been thus ac-
quired by the railway people, making
a total of over SO claims in their group.
The crosscut was continued across
the vein until 80 feet of ore was open
ed and still no wall was encountered.
The vein crops in places over 200 feet
wide so that it is possible that this is
but minor fraction of the width OF
the vein.
The ore is hematite of an exceeding
ly high grade.

Flour Mills Closed.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 2O.-The
flour mill and wheat situation in Min
neapolis and the northwest is more
complex than it has been since the
shutdown of the mills. The millers
stick to their original explanation
an unjust discrimination on tariffs be-
tween Duluth and Buffalo against -four
and favoring wheat, which was the
real cause of big loss to them.
Commission men are of the opinion
that the shutdown could not affect the
Chicago corner" unless the millers
are anxious that all northwestern
wheat possible be rushed to New York.
Most reliable advices are that every
fiourmill in the northwest, little and
big, has ceased operations, pending in
structions from the Minneapolis mill.

ABOUT THE GENERAL STAFF.

Wifey Gets Valuable Information on a
New Order of Things.
eGeorge, what is this I've been read
ing about the control of the army be-
ing placed in the hands of a general
staff. What is a general staff, George?"
"a general staff, my dear, is bunch
Of gold lace and brass buttons that
poses around library table and pulls
the wires that keep the soldiers NOV
ing"
THANK you, George. You are always
so lucid. / suppose the general staff
runs the army instead Of bothering the
generals in the field to do it?"
THAT'S about right, my dear. They
stay there in Washington and keep in
touch with the best restaurants and
the paymaster and the social gather
ings, and relieve the fighting generals
Of all the responsibility"
"How nice that is! And it's some
thing new, too, isn't it? 1 don't remem-
Der reading that Alexander was ever
helped in that way, or Hannibal or
julius Caesar, or Napoleon. But, Of
course, they were SO dreadfully old
fashioned and so rash. Just think how
much slower the worlds fighting would
have been If the general staff had been
consulted every time Napoleon wanted
to make move. There wasn't any tel
egraph then, you know, and so the gen.
eral would have had to send courier
to Paris to ask If the staff would ap-
prove of his advancing to the right
center, or withdrawing the left wing,
or making a concerted night attack ali
along the line How different things
would have turned out, dear"

general stan would have cut short a
good many Of Maps pet surprises, and
rather think history would have to be
rewritten"

funny 1t would be IL one Of our CON-
handing generals, just as he was go
ing into battle, should suddenly dis
cover that the telegraph wires were
out of order and the wireless machines
In the repair shop. How would he know
whether to advance or retreat until he
heard from home"
"That would be very funny, my love;
very funny"
"Thank you. George. 1t seems funny
to me. But guess it seems funnier to
us than 1t would to the commanding
officer"

ELEcrRlc DEATH Foa RArs.
Effective Protection for Small Bird.
in City Zoo.


Effective Protection for Small Birds
In City Zoo.
superintendent Stephan, of the Gin
cinnati Zoo. is thinking of getting out
a patent. He has not decided exactly
what to call the machine he has re-
Gently perfected. but in all probability
1t will be named "Stephan's electric
rat exterminator." The invention was
born Of that necessity which has moth
cred so many other labor-saving de-
vices and has proved invaluable to the
Zoo.
Not long ago number of rats and
stray cats discovered that the Zoo was
splendid place for foraging, and that
game birds, such as pheasants and
quail, were numerous in the big in
closure. All that was necessary to Sc
cure good meal, free of charge, was
to jump the fence and pick out the
one which pleased the fancy of the
marauder. Superintendent Stephan
was the first to discover why so many
o. these valuable birds were missing
every now and then, and 1t did not
take him long to also find remedy for
the trouble. While the Zoo manage
ment is willing to replace its animals
and fowls that fall victims to ordinary
diseases or accidents, 1t has no desire
to furnish food for all the rodents and
felines in Avondale, and Mr.. Stephan
Immediately set about putting an end
to the free lunches.
One evening, after he had retired to
rest, suspicious noise In the locality
OF the pheasant Enclosure caused him
to dress hastily and repair to the spot
AS he approached he noted large and
rusty-looking rat taking French leave
over the fence, with handsome
pheasant in it's mouth. Mr.. Stephan
said things that would not look we'll in
print, and sat up the rest of that night,
waiting to slay any other rats. that
might appear on a like errand, but
without result.
The next day Mr.. Stephan did some
deep thinking, with satisfactory re-
suits. A wire was stretched along the
top of the fence and connected with a
live electric light wire. When the gar
den was closed for the night the cur
rent was turned on and the superin-
| tendent went to bed convinced that
there would be lively times for any an
imal that tried to cross the trocha he
had prepared for the enemy. Nor was
he wrong.
At daybreak several large and we'll
fed rodents were discovered as dead as
the proverbial door nail on the outside
of the fence, where they had fallen
after coming In contact with the
| charged wire. The next night Mr..
Stephan was awakened by a wall of
pain and surprise that made the air
vibrate. At first he thought the ami
mails were holding political meeting
in the carnivora, but another howl put
| him at ease. 1t was merely the death
wall of cat which had tempted fate
once too often and fallen victim to
its own expensive appetite.
Since then, says the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune, daily harvest of
rats and cats is reported by the attend
ants at the Zoo. They are found lying
across the wire or ON the ground, but
the pheasants are safe and can sleep
with both eyes shut now, where be-
fore they had to keep one eye open
they hoped to be alive the next day.
