A SILENT AND RATHER MOODY FIGURE.

A SILENT AND RATHER MOODY FIGURE
glanced furtively around and then bent
his tall head and entered. A large Chi
neSe emerged from a curtained interior
and turned bland, unsmiling counte-
nance and dull little eyes toward him.
Where is it?' demanded Winston
roughly In English.
The man made no response. He
merely stared impassively into the face
of the Americans
Where is it?" repeated Winston,
this time savagely. He thrust hand
into his pocket and drew a small, shin
ing revolver. The weapon fell into
his hand easily, and his long brown
fingers closed about it as he raised 1t
toward the Chinese.
The man uttered frightened squeal
and lodged into the back room, with
Winston close upon his heels. He
crouched in a corner and fumbled at a
box.
Get up!" commanded Winston
sternly. Get UP and answer my ques-
TONI
Slowly the man arose. and this time
the impassivity Of his face was broken
by an ugly grin that distended his
wide mouth from ear to ear. 81 don't
know where 1t u.s." he replied In Eng
fish, thrusting his yellow, clawlike
hands into the sleeves Of his blouse
and staring impudently into Winston's
face.
Winston sat down on a stool and
coolly leveled the revolver at the man.
''I'll give you two minutes" he said
grimly, Nov hunt till you find itr'
The man did not stir as he stood
there. The American slowly counted
the seconds that made the first min
hte. When he began on the second
minute the wide grin slowly changed
TO an expression Of cowardly fear, and
as Winston counted fifty seconds the
man darted down into the corner
where no had crouched before and ex.

fans swayed above the carved ceiling
and thrust him into a chair. Then

v A YHEN the good ship Tartary,
MAJ bound from San Francisco
wv to Shanghai, lay to at the
mouth of the Whangpo
river, Winston leaned eagerly over the
rail as the landing tug made fast to
the steamer and the stream of waiting
passengers poured over the gangplank.
Each one came under his careful
scrutiny, and as the last one passed
over he left his position and hurried
on to the little tug, which was prepar-
ing to cast off.
! There was an expression of relief on
W1nston's face as he boarded the
crowded boat, and it grew in satisfac-
ton as they cast off and proceeded up
the muddy little tidal river toward

PLANTING Railway Station Grounds,

The custom of planting railway sta
ton grounds is each year becoming
more widespread. and the observant
travelling public is making its approval
of the same so manifest that all lines
must eventually take up this work of
aiding in the city and town beautiful
movement. If the plant loving traveller
will but commend the railway officials
for their enterprise and foresight in
embellishing their lines of travel, all
will quickly join in the work of beauti-
flying these places. Spacious. well
planned depot grounds are as much
capital to the cities and towns in which
they are situate as to the corporation
to which they belong. so that munich
palities should encourage and aid them
In every way possible.

RAINFALL WAS LIGHT

Huron, s. D.. May 15.-Weater bull
ietin for the week ending May IL, 1908.
Except on the 4th and 9Th, when a mod
crate to generous amount of rain fell
over the southeastern counties, fair
weather prevailed. There was about
the normal amount of sunshine. The
weather was usually cool until near the
close of the week, when it became mod
erately warm. Light to heavy frosts
occurred generally, and freezing tenn
peratures were recorded on n or more
days in the middle and northern coun-
ties. Over many counties rain would be
welcomed, and in some places 1t is
needed.
The meal temperature was below the
normal. the average daily deficiency be-
ing about 6 degrees. The greatest de-
iciency occurred over the southeastern
counties. The maximum temperatures
were generally above 20 degrees, the
highest recorded being 81 degrees, at
Selby. Walworth county, on Saturday.
The minimum temperatures were gem
orally below 81 degrees, except in parts
Of the southern portion of the state, the
lowest recorded being "a degrees. at
Castlewood, Hamlin county, on Thurs
day.
The precipitation averaged much be-
low the normal. Ii was above the nor

Boldest Act of Cattle Rustling
Ever Perpetrated in the

Huron, S. D., May 16-Cattle thieves
toox from the Micha Il Myers ranch, IN
Sanborn county, on April 20, a nerd or
&c white-faced, 2-year-old steers, de-
horned and branded with square on
right hip. The mysterious disappear
ance of the cattle is a puzZler TO the
authorities of Sanborp county, who
with Sheriff S. y. Wise, OF Woonsockct,
are endeavoring TO recover the cattle
and apprehend the thieves.
1t is thought that experienced cat
tie rustlers are interested and that the
stock were driven TO some railway sta
ton and with other cattle shipped 70
some eastern market. Although dili-
gent search has been made since the
discovery OF the theft. no trace OF the
cattle has been found. Sheriffs In
neighboring counties have become IN
terested IN the search and success may
soon reward their efforts A reward OF
5000 is offered, 500 for the discovery
OF the whereabouts of h cattle n
another 800 for the apprehension or

JOBBERS LOSE FIGHT
ON EXPRESS COMPANIES

Washington, May 14.-An important
report was transmitted to the Senate
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion on the results OF an inquiry made
by he commission as to whether the
express companies of the country were
engaged IN the business OF buying, SELL
ing or handling on consignment fruit,
vegetables and oysters entering into
interstate m
The commission finds that for the
handling of periShable commodities
the express companies have established
order and commission departments. The
agents of the companies undertake TO
find a market for producers and to han
die the products offered. The products
are marketed and the proceeds, less the
expense charges, are turned over TO the
producers. The commission says this
system affords practically the only
means by which the grove Of fruit In
small and isolated communities can
market his products to advantage in
distant localities"
The commission reports that express
companies do not buy or sell commod-
tiles transported by them on their own
account Agents of the companies who
have one so hav been prohibited from
continuing the business by the compan-
les themselves.
The commission believes from the
evidence 1t has taken that in the inter-
est of growers and producers, as well
rs local dealers In communities, served
only by express companies, and in the
interest Of increased production of
newly developed regions, the operation
of the order and commission depart
ments of the express companies should
be allowed TO continue. Accordingly it
recommends that all express companies
n their agents be prohibited from
buying n selling on their own ac-
count commodities transported by ex-
press, but hat express companies be
permitted to continue their present
methods of conducting interstate bust
ness throughout order and commission
departments, subject to the prohibitions
of law against unreasonable regulations
and unjust discrimination.
