CHAPTER XVIII.
Dolores and Dora.

And you found Uncle Joe when
every one else had given up the
search" said Dora. softly. her eyes
full OF loving admiration. How
brave you are. Dolores. would never
have had the courage to do 1t, but
then I'm not brave anyhow"
why shouldn't I do it," Dolores
asked quietly. turning her large eyes
wonderingly upon her companion.
He is my father
"Of course he is Dora replied. with
a nod of her bright head. untying the
broad ribbons of her hat and swinging
1t around upon her knees. Papa Is
my father, too, Dolores johnson, and
love him: but I would never have
enough courage to go of on a lonely
dangerous mountain to find him II
he were lost-no not II had a dozen
men to go with me. Suppose you had
clipped over one of those terrible
lodges Mr.. Green told us about, or
walked right on into a chasm when
you thought you were In the path? No.
I couldn't do it, ever. but I wish
were brave like you
Dolores said nothing. because she
had nothing to say. Dora must be a
coward II she would not do that for
her father; any of the women of the
settlement would have done the same.
''Mr. Green told us all about you."
Dora continued, land I wished so
much to get at you, but you would not
come to me, and ! could not come to
you, and then the rain-oh, the rain 1t
raineth every day. and begun to
think l would have to walt a week
at least, and the things Mr.. Green told
me about you when he returned from
here made me all the more restless
and anxious to get at you. you poor
dear"
He saved my father" Dolores said,
presently. She said 1t slowly. as
though she were forced to say It.
Dora nodded.
I know it," she said. "the man who
came over for the doctors told US
about 1t, but you saved him more than
anyone else. Dolores, and you cannot
deny 1t. They'd never have thought
of going over there to look after the
deputies gave up the search had 1t
not been for you"

Policeman slater Dies.

Pueblo, Colo, Oct. 10.-E. M. Slater.
the patrolman who was wounded
Wednesday night in attempting to ar
rest DR.. c. o. Rice. died at o'clock
Thursday afternoon at the Pueblo hos
pital. The officer was conscious until
the last and spent the afternoon in
saying goodbye to his police compan-
ions, spending the last hour Of his life
with his wife and four children. DR..
Rice is confined at the county Jail and
Is still partly irrational, having not
yet recovered from the effects of the
drugs taken into his system. He will
not believe that he was the cause Of
81 Martz's death. Continually crying
for whisky. he says that he is con-
fined upon the request of his brother
in-law, who does not want him to
drink. His condition is most serious
and physicians who have visited him
are fearful that when he realizes his
deed the result will be a total col
lapse of his mind.

Success Of Wyoming Fair.

Sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 10.-The third
convention Of the Wyoming Industrial
Association ended last night. 1t was
the most enthusiastic non-partisan
gathering Of citizen delegates ever
held in the state, and 1t is safe to
say that the results will be felt In
the added impetus given to industrial
development and in the stronger spirit
of unity and loyalty to Wyoming that
the convention has created.

closed the last day Of the Wyoming In.

streets. Braves and squaws. mounted
on ponies. appeared in gorgeous Co.'S

Indians sang or chanted their peculiar
melodies or other songs and at the
close of the parade went to the man.

dances. Seven tribes were represent

forty OF their principal chiefs.
Casper was unanimously chosen as
the place for holding the fourth In

Rawlins were out for the meeting, but
both withdrew in favor of Casper.
Cody will probably get the meeting in

Mitchell. South Dakota, Sept. 30
The South Dakota idea this year II to
emphasize the riches Of this state.
When II is confidently stated that this
year for the sixth consecutive year
South Dakota will lead all other states
in the greatest per capita wealth. 1t
can readily be understood why South
Dakota Is ambitious to advertise Its
crops and resources
The report Of fortnight ago regard
ing the heavy fall of snow and dam
age done to the crops by frost, now
appears to have been q false alarm.
This Is the judgment Of party OF
newspaper men and representatives OF
the Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul Ry.
who have made a trip OF more than
1900 miles through the state during
the last ten days. The greatest esti-
mate OF damage that is now made by
those in a position to know is. three
per cent damage 10 corn crop OF the

POTATO CROP is A
RECORD BREAKER

Denver, Oct. 10.-H. B. Kooser. gen.
eral western agent of the Missouri Pa
cific. returned Thursday from his trip
to Greeley, where he looked over the
potato situation. He reports that full
ly 10000 cars Of potatoes will be taken
out of the Greeley district this year.
the largest crop In the history of the
district.
The potatoes will be shipped to Kan
sas and Texas first, and then, as the
season advances they will be sent to 9TH
er markets. The shortage Of cars is
greatest drawback to the movement Of
potatoes at this time of the year. All
of the available freight cars OF every
road in Colorado are being hurried to
Greeley to secure potato shipments.
1t is stated that any railroad having
5000 freight cars could go into the
Greeley district now and take out that
amount Of freight. The tuber tonnage
Of Greeley is being sought for eagerly
by all the roads. as 1t is regarded as
one Of the most important items OF
freight in the state.
The American Refrigerator Transit
Company. operating in connection with
the Gould lines, has had representa-
tives in Greeley for several days. That
company is looking after shipments
Of potatoes that will be made In re-
frigerator cars.
Mr.. Kooser brought back from Gree
ley two mammoth potatoes which were
gwen him as samples of the product
raised in that district. One OF the tu-
bers weigh four pounds and three
ounces, and the other an even three
pounds. Mr.. Kooser reports that the
Greeley potato raisers are jubilant over
the big crop and prospect of good
prices.
