There will be short report from the chair

will have most competent speakers. II. C.
Adams of Wisconsin will present the SUBJ
tect from the Legislative standpoint. Pro-
Sfessor Shepard of South Dakota, from the
scientific standpoint, and Senator Hep

Norton Paul Pierce of Chicago, also the
president of the school of household eco
Monies of Chicago, to speak upon different
lines of home economics. At the verv
beginning of the persent administration,
Mrs. Decker specially asked that we do
something practical; and this has been our
aim all the way through. Helpfulness has
been our keynote, and the knowledge pro-
cured by each member of the committee
has been freely given to help along this
practical work.
In summing up results. there seems moth
ing new or startling, just a gradual in
creasing sentiment for better under
standing of the daily problem of living
which we hope may continue until every
woman in this and other lands shall come
into her kingdom of home-making.

dead bodies behind them; but at last
the city was left behind.
The regulators were but few now.
Out of the ten ringleaders only five
survived. Out of seventy-five men
only forty had escaped alive. Though
the fortune was large one, there was
not man among the regulator crowd
but what would have willingly given
up his share to feel that his life would
be safe. With Jim Denver 1t was some
what different. He had been saved
from almost certain death at very
opportune time, and the real object of
his journey-the destruction Of the
convict city and robbery of the vaults
had been accomplished. The treas
ure-his share and Lang's-would
amount to million at least, counting

offered by the government for the. kill

Lang's share would be greater than
Denver's for, sharing alike in Jewels
and gold. he had now for his bride the
Pearl of Paradise, and her father was
heir to an English estate of great
value.

ton. The night wore away. When
dawn broke the regulators had

Lang's Last Desperate Scheme.
JiA Denver's body was left swaying

When the convicts drew away from
the hanging in order TO chase the
treasure party, Louis Lang, mounted
on horse he had managed to capture
from an overzealous spectator, ran I'M
der the limb of the tree supporting his
friend and cut the body down before
Denver breathed his last. Phillip
Farnham and Ben Bottom had raised
the cry of "Goldi' and started the
convicts of, and now complete dark
ness hid the retreat of these four last
survivors of the coach party.
Knowing in advance the destination
of the regulators, the four conspira-
tors managed TO catch up with the
party, and eluding the convicts, before
the first large town was reached the
next morning. There was great re-
joicing in the Hanchett party upon thu
arrival of Denver and Lang, because
of the addition to the ranks of fighting
men. This city was found to be al
most an outlaw town. No bank there
could be considered strong enough to
hold the amount of treasure in the
hands of Denver and Lang, and though
they put uprat the only hotel in the
place, placing pickets around for safe
ty, 1t soon became apparent that the
pursuing convicts would get the best
of the party unless aid could be in
some way obtained. because neither
food nor fresh stock could be furnished
them. The millions in possession OF
Denver could not force the villagers
to furnish anything whatever Under
the circumstances it was voted by the
party 10 push on, and as the people
would not sell stock or food, necessity
knowing no law, the regulators boldly
helped themselves to all the available
fresh stock and edibles that they
could lay hands on. To be sure, they
left money and horses in their place,
but the populace would not acknowl-
edge that they were getting pay. Be-

the town before the convicts arrived.
Here Langs first real hard luck over
took him. He was abandoned by the
whole company of regulators, who
banked their money with the only
bank in town and proceeded to make
themselves free and easy. Rockford
was sufficiently large, they thought,
and civilized enough to afford them
half protection, and they did not
choose to continue with Lang when
nothing was to be gained by it. They
little thought that Lang had charge
of the bulk of all of the money and
that none but themselves had drawn
out their shares. And of course, bad
as he needed help, Lang did not dare
to take even his own men into his
confidence. He was left alone to fight
his battle, to. save his treasure and
to protect his wife.
Still Lang did not despair. He was
coming now within the reach Of civ
ilization. He felt that one more day
would place him where the convicts
would at least be forced to move
secretly-and when it came to strate-
gy, Lang felt that he could outwit his
foes. While Lang was meditatlng
upon his hard luck and trying to fig
ure out some way Of escape, he saw
before him in the town yard a gaudily
painted wagon belonging to a show.
man and his wife, who were touring
the territory with a Punch and Judy
show. A brilliant idea entered Lang's
head. resulting in his purchasing the
outfit. The Snowman was only too
glad to sell at Louis figures, as the
show had not done paying business.
Lang made a bargain on the sly
with the Snowman. in which it was
agreed that the Snowman would ex-
change outfits with Lang-the prairie
schooner for the Judy wagon-with
the further agreement that Lang give
