"You are right! Come on! I'll risk
it with you! We will save the Princess
of Graustark."
Don't you see it will be just as easy
for us to enter the castle as for these
robbers? The way will be clear and
will be kept clear. Jove. man, we need
not be more than thirty seconds behind
them. Is your pistol all right?
BY this time the two men were speed
ing along the grassy stretch toward the
road that ran beside the wall. They
looked to their pistols and placed them
carefully in outside coat pockets.
I'VE must throw away these heavy
canes" whispered the painter to his
friend who was pace or so ahead.
Keep it! Well need one of them to
crack that fellows head at the gate.
Cad. it's dark along here"
How the devil are we to know where
to go?"
We'll stop when we come to the
gate where we climbed up the wall to-
day Thai Is the only entrance l saw
along the west wall, and it is near the
castle. JI1at as soon as the gang en-
tiers that gate we'll crawl up and get
rid of the fellow who stands watch
1t was So dark that they could barely
see the roadway. and they found it nee
essary to cease talking as they skunk
along beside the wall. Occasionally
they paused to listen, fearing that they
might draw too close upon the men
who had gone before. At last they
came to a big gate and halted.
rs this the gate?" whispered An
guish.
Ssh, Yes; I'm quite sure. We are
undoubtedly near the castle, judging
by the distance we have come. Let us
cross the road and lie directly opposite
Be CAREFUL
Like panthers they stole across the
road and down a short grassy embank
ment. At Anguish's suggestion Lorry
wrapped his handkerchief tightly abOu
the heavy end of his cane, preparing il
that way to deaden the sound of tn,
blow that was to fall upon the Nienn;
mans head. Then they threw asid
their hats, buttoned their coats tight.
and sank down to wait, with bound
ing hearts and tingling nerves. the al

that they were at the right gate.

LorTv, "ard trust to luck The castle
is to the left"
Without hesitation they crept over
the noiseless grass close beside Ehe
wall. Directly they heard sounds near
at hand The abductors were binding
and chloroforming the guard at the ar
boz. After waiting for some moments
they heard the party glide away in the
darkness and followed. The body OF
the guard was lying just outside the
mouth of the arbor, and the Odor or
chloroform was almost OverpoWer1ng.
Once inside the long arbor, the Amerl-
cans moved slowly and with greater
caution. There was a dim light in
basement window ahead. Toward the
front of the castle and in the second
story a faint glow came from another
window. They guessed it to be from
the princess room or from that of the
countess.
At last they saw four figures steal
them halted near the window and three
crept away in the darkness. Presently
one of them returned, and all activity
was at an end for the time being. How
near it was to o'clock the watchers
could not tell. They only knew that
they were within twenty-five feet OF
Geddos and Ostrom and that they

Soon a bright little blaze of light
crossed the basement opening. Then
it returned, crossing a second time and
a third. All was still again. The soft
shuttle of a foot, the rustic of arbor
vines, and the form of man crawled
up to the window. With inconceivable
stealth and carefulness it glided
through the aperture, followed by a
companion.
I.orry and Anguish were at the open
ing a second or two later lying fiat on
their stomachs and listening for sounds
from within The dim light was still
there, the window was open and there
was a sound of whispering. Lorry
! raised his head and peered through
| taking calculations Wn1le the HSH
made it possible. He saw an open door
on the opposite side of the low room
with steps beyond leading upward
Between the window and the door there
were no obstacles. Up those steps
he saw three men creep, the leader
carrying the dim light. The door was
left open, doubtless to afford unim
peded exit from the building in case
of emergency. Harry Anguish touched
Lorry's arm.
81 took the two pistols from tina
Vienna man out there. We may nee'
them. Here is one for yourself. O.

Lorry stuck the revolver in his Goa
pocket and gently slid through the win

It's human nature to expect much for your
money during this Sale and it's the object of
the progressive merchant to live up to the
publcs expectations. Bargains are incidental
to the growth of every store. They are counted
as the accidents of the trade and are oc-
casoned through various causes. During
July we mean to make them a fundamental
part of this business Take this SALE they de-
mand the attention of everybody interested
in good seasonable goods at low prices. The
adjective low in this instance does not give
sufficiently forceful emphasis to the values,
for they are as exceptional as any this store

The enclosure wah written on a piece
of yellow manila paper and worded as
follows:
"North Yakima Washington December
l6 1904. Dear Santa Claus will you
please bring me twelve Magic lantern
picpores good by"
The good old fellow will be as much
puzzled as the postal clerks often are
however, for the young applicant fol
favor was one of those who fail to sigr
their name or give their address. And
yet, who knows but Santa Claus is wiser
than human beings? He may have
heard the petition and be even now or
his way to the writer's home with dog
en- of his finest "picpores" in his pack
for him. 1t is to be hoped that such i:
the case.
As will be seen in the notice in anoth
er column, the postoffice will be closed
next Monday except from 9 to 10 in the
forenoon and to in the afternoon
The carriers will make one delivery
and the people living on the rural routes
will be served as usual.

you would be surprised at the num-
Der of packages that are left at the
postofice for forwarding that have no

Postmaster Lemon yesterday. "The
every postoffice in the United States

for a great deal that is not their fault

the very great number of packages sent
between the 18th of December and the

very small. No package is sent to the
dead letter office until every possible
means of finding where it should 90 and
forwarding it have been employed.
"The great cause of trouble is the fail
IRE of persons sending the package to

dress. The majority of people, or at
least large per cent of them. guess at
the amount of postage that a package
requires, or trust to their own weigh

we find no name other than that of the
person to whom it was intended to be
sent, we write to that person and inform
him that we have the package described
which will be forwarded promptly upon
receipt of the amount of stamps neces-
sary to cover the deficiency Even if
he replies promptly there is a delay of
several days, and possibly disappoint-
ment; but the department is in no way

cannot notify Henry Smith any more

we haven't the name of the sender the

who designed his happiness at Christmas

the package never reached him. there is
blame and censure for the postal author
