The voters pay attention to it. If you doubt look
at the joke perpetraed by the democrats when they

Here it is month from the last convention and the
voters in both parties have given less consideration to the
choice of this who may be president than they do

then Mirandon realized that while
he had been signing the receipt and
lighting his cigar and looking at
the dying ember of the match, the
positions of all had changed-of all
except himself. He no longer had
clear way to the door behind him.
He realized something was wrong.
He thought of the dying match;
the eyes Of Parker seemed to be
watching him now as he had watch
ed it. There was somehow some
thing wrong with the man Parker.
Or was it the noe in the other
room?-or Hallen? There was
death here to something beside the
match, but death was he'd for the
signal; it had not yet come. He
was trapped, by God. He-the
cleverest criminal in years-was
trapped. For an instant, fraction
of a second he hesitated; then he
rose and bowed with trace of
mockery; the others s4e.ned to
bow also, but that Parker was
nearer. The chemist laughed.
loudly, spasmodically, demoniacal-
ly. After all, was he not the
master? Did any man. did these
puppets, suppose that he was I'M

the deadliest agent in the world in

it at the fleeing Mirandon, but too
late. He gasped, and throwing his
hands to his head sank 10 his
knees, and then to his face.t
There was tremendous 4 action
then from those in the othf room.
The smashing of closed windows,
the dashing through the Dom to
the doors, which were flung open;
the dragging of men acro5s the
floor into the open air of tie hall.
and the heroic attempts at srevival
were matters of but a few Seconds.
All realized what had Occurred;
all realized that the sickly sweet
odor was Of some deadly dhig.
The voice of the district attorney

rang loud and clear. "It's a drug
like the other poison. Look to
Troop! Look to Hallen!"
Cakes was now staggering to-
ward the front street door follow
ing the fleeing murderer; but the
criminal had made his escape in
the excitement of the moment. He
was seen to seize his horse and
next instant he was dashing toward
the turnpike. Before he reached
it, however. Quintus Cakes had
reel to his animal, which was stand
ing outside guarded by one of his
men, and issuing one or two quick,
stern commands to those about
who as yet scarce comprehended
the cause of the excitement-was
off in pursuit.
Roger Malley was at the postof-
fee corner awaiting developments.
He had been excluded from the
last scenes and had been in charge
of the two boys lest they talk too
much. He was among the first to
see Mirandon's escape. He saw him
dash out of the motel, and Cakes
come Keeling after and he knew in
stantly that something had gone
desperately wrong. Where were
Troops, Martin and the others?
Like whirlwind the dark-feat-
ured Mirandon shot by on horse

refined in strongly and his stern
face rejecting emotion such as
Roger had not seen in him before.
Then the thought forming in Nal
ley's mind took words, which
came excitedly, irresistibly in cry
of despair
"Oakes-Oakes-Jane and Ted
are out on the highway some
where" he cried.
Quintus Cakes caught the words
clearly and realized instantly the
desperate plight of the lovers-in
the way of desperate criminal
whose passions were aroused, who

Cakes turned in his saddle and his

that Roger knew were figures in

CHAPTER XVI

(COntlnueQ)
Then, with the ease of a man OF
the world, Cakes passed a box Of
cigars. The chemist took one with
his right hand, and then came the
test that proved Cakes suspicious
to be correct beyond peradventure
or doubt. Theh detective passed the
matches, and Mirandon, totally un-
conscious of the Importance of the
link that made the chain of evil
dence complete-the chain forged
by the master before him, reached
and took match calmly with his
left hand. He swept it across the
box and it ignited, then he carried
the hand to the cigar in his mouth
and quietly puffed until it was light
ed; then, glancing at the burning
match in his left hand, he shook it
until it ceased to flame, and reach
ing forward, placed the still glow
ing stick in the receptacle for such
upon the table. 1t was a graceful
ly executed movement. such as
most gentlemen make with the
right hand. But the ease of move
ment and the instructive choice of
hands-the left for the second time
during the interview; and the fact
that the right hand also had been
used with seemingly equal ease in
the movement of writing, proved
the man an ambidexter.
He watched the dying ember Of
the match, and as it turned to
white he sighed ever so softly.
Poor Montgomery Stone" he
said, 81 wish it were in my power to
find the poison, to help in a clew
that might lead to the assassin's
arrest"
"The consummate actor The
marvellous DEVIL" thought the dis
trlct attorney. But in his great,
suppressed excitement he half
spoke, half whispered his thought.
and lisping but unintelligible
sound came across the room to
those at the table.

The Monarch Ouer Everything

Who is the King?
The Monarch over everything?
The deSpOt Lord
Whose lghtest word
Sends every vassal hurrying?
Whose menials fear to whisper lest
They should disturb the royal rest;
hos begged and wheedled to beguile
wondrous momentary smile;
Whom all obey,
And none may dare to say him nay:
Who, from throne,
Rules all his own.
From Kitchenland to Parorve,
From Morningvale to Sleepyhill;
Who mods an autocratic crown
From Pantryburg to Attictown
Who can coerce compel, command
From Cribvie up to Shoulderland
Who lords 1t over every guest
Who regns from Hall to Cedar Chest
From Gables East to Windows West
And all the way to Mothers Breast?
The Baby!
Who is the Car?
The Ruler of all things that are?
With tyrant might
By day and night
And eyes as brilliant as a star?
So far from all that's low or base
That Heaven still fingers in his face;
Who from the arms of maid or. nurse,
Holds sway DER all universe;
Whose diadem
That luminous and lustrous gen.
The Orb of Love:
Whose velvet glove
Covers the iron hand of War.
An undsputed Conqueror;
Who laughs, AMI brings the rising sun;
Who frowns-and 10! the day is done;
Who sleeps, and lays his knightly head
Upon the royal trundle bed;
Idol of every fearful breath,
Prince of the land Of Hope and Faith
Lord of Love without alloy
King Of the Realm of Bounjless JOY?

DANGER!

On the eve of the election, after weeks
Oi silence, and after Mr.. Stillinger has
announced in the northern part of the
county that he favored granting tifty
year extension to the Potlatch Lumber
Co., and after the entire republican leg
islative ticket has refused to take
stand against extension, we have 1t on
good authority that word has gone out
from the timber interst ordering Repno-
lican legislative candidates in Latah
county, with a purpose of deceiving the
voters. to come out in their speeches
against extension. At the last moment,
with the hope of fooling the people into
eecting the Potlatch Lumber Company
ticket, notice Stillnger, MCGOWAN, Man,
nering, Taylor are decrying themselves
aglnst extension.
The News warns the people against
eleventh hour pledges. If these men
are honestly opposed to extension or
ever have been they owed it to the people
to come out honestly and openly when
this important question was first raised.
They are declaring now for something
that they all know the people demand
and have no intention, judging by the
past record of men like Stillinger, OF
carrying this pledge out if elected Still
linger has lied to the people already too
many times for the people to belive him
In a matter of so much Importance as
as timber extension. Suppose we elect
these men, nominated as they were by
the Potlatch Lumber Company, what
right have we to belive that they would
stand by the people against the timber
tlust If the timher trust. as it has IN
the past, should show Willingness tc
pay substantial price ior votes. Iht
people cannot afford to send Potlatci
Lumber Company representatives to th'
State Legislature.
