QUALIFICATIONS OF A RANGER
What Members of Arizona's Terri.

Wheeler. of the Arizona Rangers, in re-
fusing to appoint this man or that one,
to a position on the ranger force. The
captain has noticed these criticisms with
some regret and is sorry he cannot pass
around more of these favors than he
does, but he believes the position OF

BARBECUE INAUGURAL EVENT
Gov. Haskell Plans Unique Feature
for Farmers Benefit.

Muskogee. Ind T. Nov. l6.-It is Of
heially announced by Gov. Haskell that
the inauguration ceremonies will include
a barbecue. Some persons regarded the
announcement as a joke. but the new
governor did not see 1t that way He was
elected by the farmers and the laboring
element in the State and he knew It. He
also found out that the voting strength
OF this element was much greater than
be or any one else had believed. There
fore, the barbecue.
The average farmer and laboring man
seldom are invited TO Inaugural balls. and
would not attend If they were. Then why
not give new sort OF Inauguration which
all Of the people of the State who want TO
can attend, argued the governor. That's
how the barbecue idea took root.
The barbecue has been a favorite
method of mixing political medicine in
the Southwest. especially among the In
dams. ever since there has been politics
in this section. When the Indians elected
chiefs they usually based their preference
upon the number and size Of the barbecUes
given by the rival candidates.
Gov Haskell will go tn the barbecue,

The Washington herald., 1907-11-17
CHAPTER XIX.

St Quintin stood still and listened.
There was a slight but very distinct
sound Of cracking branches and the rust
ling Of dried underground. and he was
sure that some living thing. whether man
or beast he could not tell, was moving
stealthily not far from him.
He was near enough to the brink of
the Shiny pool 10 be cautious in his
movements, for the edge of the bank
was slippery and smooth and the water
deep in some parts. as he knew.
Then there was absolute stiffness.
He felt nervous and i'll at ease. Some
thing had disturbed the evil-smeIling
waters Of the pond since he saw II that
afternoon. Then it had smooth sur
face Of dark green weed, even as a table
cloth. treacherously still
But the lighting of match had shown
him the surface broken up and uneven.
and little fiecks and patches OF dark
foul water in between the torn masses Of
now ragged weed
What was it that had broken up the
weed and made the edge Of the pond
more slippery than before?
His Imagination suggested an answer
Those heavy packages OF Monsieur Le-
blanc's, that he had seen in the front
room of the cottage, had disappeared.
But all the rest OF the luggage was still
piled up there against the wall. Was It
possible that there was something in the
trunks and boxes that Monsieur Leblanc
wished 10 get rid of? And had he chosen
10 IL arfa cd nd
lent hiding place for his mysterious I'M
marked luggage?
St Quintin, while he put these ques-
tons, scarcely dared admit. even to HIM
self. what his suspicious were with re-
gard TO those packages. But he was
quite certain that he would not leave
the neighborhOOd until he had probed
the mystery of the broken weed and
until he had made q minute investiga-
ton by daylight of the pond and its
contents.
In the meantime dark as il was and
grewsome as We're his imaginings i'm the
desoiate hollow among the trees. with
the unhealthy vapors rising to his nos
trils from the Stagnant water. and the
constant fear of attack in his mind. he
felt that il was impossible for him 10
leave the spot until he had made some
sort of attempt to satisfy himself as TO
whether those mysterious trunks and
boxes had really been thrown into the
dark pool below him.
SO when he had waited some minutes
standing quite still and listening intent
ly. without hearing any more sounds
among the trees behind him, he groped
his way 20 the fence of stakes which he
had already robbed that afternoon, and
finding a long, strong pole, disengaged
