Does that mean we viii have TO go
10 the home and feed the dear cats out
Of our hands?" asked one young woman
who sat in the front row and took a
keen interest IN the proceedings.
When the one man explained that the
name had only an categorical signif-
iCsnCe. she thought the idea just the
most appropriate thing ever suggested.
And so the secretary was instructed TO

minutes that the cats whose parents
had died young and who failed 10 find

II seems that the women who are re-
spOnsibIe for the new society are really
in earnest; in fact, they take cats Sc

Such was the spirit OF he meeting.
The parliamentary proceedings at first
puzzled some Of the members, out after

was willing to make some kind Of a

time. It's this: The Sweeny's
and eastern parties are after the
Cracker Jack. Who will get the
property we do not know. When
Charley Sweeny closed down his
Big Buffalo property and stated
there was nothing to the Hump,
those who were familiar with the
camp understood the game. Sweeny
had other property he was working
aud did not need to open the Hump
holdings. Things have changed
now and with the Cracker Jack and
Big Buffalo under one ownership,
development work could be rushed
and the largest camp in the west
opened up and made producer in a
short time.
Charley Sweeny, who has made
millions in the mines of Idaho, is a
brother OF Mike Sweeny, who has
paid several visits to this city and
the Hump during the past six
weeks. Tuesday he arrived and
made q deal whereby he came in
possession of mortgage Of consider
able of an amount on the Cracker
Jack. He has been quietly purchas-
ing stock and making an effort to
get control Of the mine. However
as q majority Of the stock is held BY
q combination Of Grangeville and
Lewiston people and as the property
is being negotiated for by eastern
people, it is doubtful If Sweeney car
get control without paying some
where in the neighborhood OF what
the stock is worth.
James Eldrige, who represents
the parties from the east, is the pre-
sent manager Of the Concord, an
other valuable property in that dis
trict and it is eurmised the owners
Of that property are the real prospec
tive purchasers he represents. Th'
price being asked is in the neighbor
hood Of SIS, 900 and there is no in
clination on the part Of the stock
holders to sacrifice their holdings.

Gets Ten Coyotes

Henry Ross, who ranches out in
the Tolo country, has the reputa'
ton Of being q coyote killer in
this county. Henry is an old ex .
engineer of the Union Pacific and
is not supposed to know q great
deal of the ways Of the cunning
coyote but never. the-l less from the
number Of hides he brought in las'
week, it seems he knows q thing OF
two some Of the more experienced
don't. He set traps during the
winter months and as q result sue

Four of we girls have banded to-

There is also on file at this Office

ed with assault with deadly weapon
with intent to kill" occupied all
Tuesday and q large part Of We'd

which Allison got filled up with
booze and fred on the marshal last
October. There seemed but slim
chance for Allison ss sufficient evil

She sat looking at him, a trim, SOL

sensibly softened.

"Oh, was that It? Then l duly bow

UP the valley Of the Bear Water,
slightly above Glencaid,-far enough
beyond the saloon radius to protect
his men from possible corruption, yet
within easy reach of the military tele,

morning upon a wooded terrace over
looking the stage road, and settled
quietly down as one Of those numer-
GUS posts with which the army chiefs
sought to hem In the dissatisfied red
men, and learn early the extent Of
their hostile plans.
Brant was now in a humor consid-
erably happier than when he first rode
forth from Bethune. He watched the
men Of his troop while with quip and
song they made comfortable camp,

CHAPTER XII.
Under Orders,

It was no pleasant assignment to
duty which greeted First Lieut.. Don
aid Brant, commanding Troop N, Sew
enth cavalry, when that regiment
came once more within the environs
of civilization, from its summer ex-
ercises In the field. Bethune had de-
veloped into a somewhs. important
post, socially as we'll as from a strict
ly military standpoint, and numerous,
indeed, were the attractions offered
there to any young officer whose duty
called him to serve the colors on those
bleak Dakota prairies. Brant frowned
at the innocent words, reading them
over again with gloomy eyes and an
exclamation Of unmitigated disgust,
yet there was nc escaping their plain
meaning. Trouble was undoubtedly
brewing among the Sioux, trouble in
which the Cheyennes, and probably
others also, were becoming involved
Every soldier patroling that long
northern border recognized the ap-
proach of some dire development,
some early coup Of savagery.
Brant vas not blind to all this, nor
to the necessity of having in readiness
selected bodies Of seasoned troops, yet
1t was not in soldier nature to refrain
from grumbling when the earliest de.
tail Glanced to fall to him. But or.
ders were orders in tina. country, and

really reside here.-
"Why, l consider this a most de-
lightful nook"
MY reference was to Glencaid."
ooh! Why, l live from within, not
without. Mind and heart, not environ
ment, make life, and my time is occu-
pied most c~ongenially. l am being
faithfully nutured on the Presbyterian
catechism, and also trained in the
graces Of earthly society. These alter
nate, thus preparing me for whatever
may happen in this world or the next"
His face pictured bewilderment, but
also a determination to %persevere. "An
interesting combination, l admit. But
from your appearance this cannot al
ways have been your homer"
"Oh, thank you. l believe not al
ways; but I wonder at your being able
to discern my superiority to these sur
roundings. And do you know your
questioning is becoming quite per-
sonal? Does that yield me an equal
privilege?"
He bowed, perhaps relieved at thus
permitting her to assume the initia-
tive, and rested lazily back upon the
grass, his eyes intently studying her
face.
II suppose from your clothes you
must be a soldier. What Is that figure
7 on your hat for?"

Seventh cavalry"

of young womanhood resting on the
grassy bank just before him. She was
partially reclining, as II startled by
his unannounced approach, her face
turned toward him, one hand grasping
an open book, the other shading her
eyes from the glare of the sun. Some-
thing in the graceful poise, the piquant,
uplifted face, the dark gloss of heavy
hair, and the unfrightened gaze held
him s%peechless until the picture had
been impressed forever upon his mem
DRY. He beheld a girl on the verge of
womanhood, fair of skin, the red glow
Of health flushing her cheeks, the lips
parted in surprise, the sleeve fallen
back from one white, rounded arm,
the eyes honest, sincere, mysterious.
She recognized him with a glance, and
her lips closed as she remembered
how and when they had met before.
But there was no answering recollec-
ton within his eyes, only admiration
nothing chung about this MAZDA to
remind him of a neglected watf Of
the garrison. She read all this in his
face, and the lines about her mouth
changed quickly into a slightly quiz
zical smile, her ayes Frightening.
"You should at least have knocked,
sir" she ventured, sitting up on the
grassy bank, the better to confront
him. before intruding thus unin-
vited."
He lifted his somewhat dingy scout

Terms Of Latin ORIGIN.

In a legal sense an "innuendo" was
originally an averment made by the
plaintiff in a libel action. putting into
plain words the injurious sense he de.
tected in an i%nsinuation published by
the defendant. 1t is the ablative case
of a Latin gerund that has become a
common English noun substantive.
Another Latin ablative with a similar
modern history is folio" which lit
orally means ION page" so-and-so. The
English language absorbs all cases in
this fashion at its pleasure. There
is quorum" (genitive plural ana
omnibus" (dative plural), with "ig-
noramus" Us ar English noun that
was once a Latin verb in the nrst
person plural
