said menacingly as he slouched heavily
from the room.
The rougher element of Four Corners
were used to depending upon their rifles
to exc out an existence, meager enough
at best, and in the lifetime Of old Mr..
Cornish, the former owner Of the great
estate, their depredations had been
practically unchecked, but now a new
order Of things prevailed. Old Mr.. Cor
nish was dead, and the villagers re-
garded the son who had succeeded him
with suspicion and the gamekeeper he
had appointed with sullen hatred.
The villagers were not alone in their
disapproval of Dawson.
you are making a mistake in ap-
pointing him." the doctors daughter
had declared, her brown eyes resting
on the tall young man beside her.
Il don't see why" Robert Cornish
had returned stubbornly. "Something
has to be done to preserve the game.
These fellows are a lawless set, shoot
ing in season and out and running the
preserves. Besides"-his voice rung de-
terminedly-"it is my property"
YES" she admitted, land yet they
have so little it doesn't seem quite fair
they should have no rights
But I'm willing they should do a
certain amount of hunting" he pro-
tested, "only they must observe the
game laws, and they must also realize
that it is my property. not THEIRS
do they know you will allow them
a certain amount Of game?"s
Robert Cornish shook his head. "NOt
yet Dawson advised cutting them off
short until they learn to realize the es-
tate is private property. When they
understand shooting is a privilege, not
a right, they will give less trouble"
Molly shook her head doubtfully.
II know them better than you do"
she said. "They are lawless and ig-
norant, but there Is more good in
them than you believe, and Dawson
isn't the man to deal with them.
wish you would talk to them your
SELF" she went on.
Ihere was Dr1e1 silence.
Il will-if you WISH" he said impul-
sively. II will do it tomorrow"
But on the morrow two unforeseen
things happened. Robert Cornish was
called suddenly away on an urgent
business trop and Dan O'Connor bag
ged the quail.
1t was the evening after the excited
discussion at the store that Molly,
prompted by an unusual feeling of
restlessness, crossed the room to the
window and, stepping out on the We
randa, wandered down into the mOonlit
garden. Robert Cornish would be back
that night but Of course it was no
vague hope of meeting him that bright

close at her ear.

Cabin Blown Up.

The cabin of John Koski, a home
short distance east of Loomis, WASH
was totally destroyed by an explosion
of giant powder a few days ago. Koski
had stored some powder under the
porch of the cabin and it is supposed
to have been set on fire by live coal
thrown out in ashes. Mrs. KOski and
her two children were terribly injured

Eat Light Food to Cure Insomnia.
DR.. Dabbs advises up to prefer light
food to drugs during an attack Of in
somnia and points out that in some
cases night food is necessary, in spite
of the fact that the body requires no
feeding when in an inactive state. He
thinks that this night food may induce
sleep, particularly in the early days of
training, when a man has been forced
to give up much Of what has been
hitherto surplus food. He gives the
preference to liquid food. always"
he writes, "after excessive fatigue,

The Sea q Good NeighbOr to Man.

Let us be thankful that we have not
got to send the sea to school and teach
it to think The sense of restfulness it
gives us as we contemplate it comes
a good deal, suspect, from our feeling
that here is one powerful and active
creature that We have not got to train.
1t will take care of itself, and we can
take care of ourselves and not bother
about it. 1t will never want to vote,
never blame us for misrule, never
shame us with evidences of our selfish
ness and neglect. Restless as it is, tur-
bulent and untamable, it is a comfort
able neighbor, as neighbors go. Really,
is there anything else on the earth that
takes care of itself? The mountains
have forest fires and need land laws
and game laws, the very air may be
polluted with smoke and smells, the
cataracts are water power and can be
stolen. the forests are merchandise, the
plains are real estate. but the sea is not
property, not perishable. not damage
able. 1t is the one thing that balks
greed and laughs at abuse-the one
thing whereof there is enough to go
around, and in which no successful eff
fort need be feared to claim a mOnop-
oly.-E. S. Martin in Harper's Mag

Another Reserve.

Another timber reserve may be set
apart from the dominion government
In British Columbia and this on Pitt
lake, where some very desirable fiji
tracts exist. In 1905 it was decided by
the government to set aside $500, 600
acres of land as timber reserve in
Manitoba. Alberta, and other PROVING
es, as we'll as the railway belt in
British Columbia. This land was set
aside. but the government does not
apear satisfied with the amount re-
served and proposes to secure new
areas.

There was such excitement In Four

to September and by Dawson. the

had gathered at the one store the place

Could she reach him?

The sounds came nearer. A light

a tall young man in the cart pulled up
his horses sharply, she sank, spent and
breathless, beside the Windsor road.

matter of misunderstanding, and when

had refused to prosecute the ringlead-

HEAVY REWARD OFFERED
One Thousand to Man Who Locates
Moody's Murderer
THE MONEY IS READY TO Be PAID OVER
CORONER AFTER INVESTIGATION
DOES NOT KNOW WHOM
TO SUSPECT.
THE MONEY IS READY TO Be PAID OVER

BAKER CITY, Ore, Sept. 21.-A re-
ward of $1,000 has been posted by
George w. Moody, father Of Willard
Moody who was murdered at Pine
Saturday night. The money will be
paid for information leading to the
arrest and conviction Of the person or
persons who committed the crime.
DR.. Virgil Ison, county coroner Of
Baker county, has returned from Pine
where he held an inquest over the
dead body of Willard Moody who was
SO brutally murdered some time Sat-
urday night The entire story of the
murder is given by DR.. Ison and he
says that after a thorough investiga-
ton he cannot say that suspicion
points to any person or persons.
There is no evidence at all as to
who committed the murder or why it
was committed, and in his opin-
ion it is one of the deepest mysteries.
To the people of Pine valley, he says,
it is also a mystery.
Many have their own ideas as to
who committed the crime and the mo-
tive for it but there is nothing definite
about it, The exact details of the sit
uation as given by DR.. Ison are as
follows:
Willard Moody was last seen about
II or II o'clock Saturday. He left the
store at Pine with his mail and a
sack of sugar and took these articles
to his ranch house. Some time that
evening or afternoon, it is not known
what time, he started to return to the
store at Pine. When about 100 yards
from the store he was shot and killed
At the spot where the murder was
committed there is tall grass and the
conclusions are drawn that the muir
derer laid in wait in this grass until
Moody passed along going to the store
him from behind, the ball entering just
below the base of the brain and to
the right, ranging up to the bone just
above the ear where it Clipped off
and then sped on to the top of the
l>.l
the skull bone.
The ball was from either a revolver
or a rifle and the indications are that
/ it was a 80 calibre or larger The
|! lead of the bullet was so badly bat
tered that is was impossible to de-
termine the calibre of the gun.
Jumped on Face.
The evidence shows conclusively
that Moody died without a struggle.
He fell in his tracks, dead, lying on
| his back. And then the murderer
jumped onto the dead body and plant
ed a heavy heel in each eye and gave
a few more kicks to the face There
was no blood on the dead mans clothes
showing conclusively that he did not
move after he fell. There was pool
of blood under the dead mans head
where the wound showed.
The grass and earth around the
dead body had been disturbed by some
pigs and it was impossible to discover
the foot prints Of the murderer.

NooKsAcK FLOODED WITH ICE
Iceberss Washed I'M
Stream From Glaciers,


Great masses of glacial ice were
washed into the Nooksack river during
the recent flood in the Mount Baker
district, says a Bellingham report. For
days the stream was filled with minia-
ture icebergs and men working for the
Columbia Improvement company
amused themselves snatching floating
cakes of frozen water from the stream
in the heat of the day. 1t is probable
that not in any year within the men,
an unusual cargo.
Pieces of ice weighing from fifty to
two hundred pounds were thick in the
river and the sight was described by
S. L. Shuff1eton, constructing engineer
Of the Columbia Improvement com.
pany, as one of the most remarkeb,e
things he has ever witnessed. 1t is
evident that the warm winds and the
rains loosened hundreds of tons of ice
on the Mount Baker glaciers. The
heat of the severely dry summer left
the ice fields bare of snow and the
deluge from the clouds rushed down
in currents that swept away every
ledge and block of ice which was not
firmly fixed.
The woods for a long distance were
invaded by the floods, and trees winch
had been growing for 200 or 300 years
were torn up by the roots. This is
proof that the ravages of the river
were never so great before in the last
two or three centuries, or these mon
archs among the frs and cedars would
not have been standing when the
Nooksack made its last inroads into
the abutting land
