CHAPTER xvi.-Continued.

Ingram, Finn and Gould's train soon began to move. Through the long af. ternoon. excitement, hurrying orders, smothered explosives filled the air, penetrating even to grandma am 8 room. One after another the teams pulled out, six mules, eight ten, some times Is or IS animals. There were "back-actions" and double back-ac- tions;" mules and horses hitched to- gether. and many teams of horses alone, while at the rear few plodding oxen bent patiently to their slower Journey
 Finn and Gould were in Sacramento and Idaho respectively. Gideon was trainmaster, and would shortly pass and precede the train to look out for It's welfare on the way Before riding on he sought Stella. She was unaware of the quick admiration he had in- spired in her, till she divined it from his satisfied. eager gaze. In the old life he had been but quick tongued boy she could always lead with her calmer will. He had left that day on the hill a determined, passionate man, yet yielding to her still. But now he returned a conqueror. She felt it in every movement of his large body. in each word of his confident speech
 Stella was thankful that the hustle of previous hours had held him cap tive; that now she could plead her own preoccupation as reason for giv. ing him but a moment.
 'I know 1t. Little Star" he said in answer 10 her excuse. But I'm com ing back soon-it will be to you. aud for you. dear" lie stopped to kiss her. but she pushed him away.
 No, no, Gideon, Nc man except my future husband shall"
 And that Is what l." Gideon be gan passionately, when Jimmy Dart came for orders for supper.
 sI'n take goodbye and how-do-you.do both when l come again, Stella Gid cen said with significance. I'm off
 He closed the door behind him; vet the tyranny of his presence remained Back of his simple words lay Q power that gripped and held Stella 70 inac tion. Not till the girl had twice spoken did Stella rouse to present duty. Even then her mind worked automatically and she breathed calmly only after she had seen Gideon ride out of town on his pTauCing horse

MARSHALS SEIZE MOLASSES.
Federal Government Takes Charge of Hs Cases in Little Rock Under
 Pure Food and Drug Act.

Little Rock-Deputy United States marshals Wednesday seized 779 cases of Sugar Glen and Burro molasses which was distributed between the Plunkett-Jarreil Grocer Company, CooperSearan Grocer Company. Gey- CT X Adams, Charles F. Penzel and the Scott-Maver Commission Com pany. after the government had filed suit in the federal court The mar shals stored the cases on the premises of the companies where they cannot now be handled except under govern ment orders
 The suit is a bill of condemnation and is styled the United States Of America ys 779 Cases of Melasses. The complaint alleges the goods were consigned to the Little Rock dealers named by C. F.. Coe Of Memphis, Tenn. Il is asserted that the goods have been guaranteed under the pure food and drugs act of congress, ap- proved June 30 1907. IL is alleged that the molasses was represented 10 have been made of pure sugar and corn syrup, while, as matter of fact, 1t contains glucose in quantities suffi- cient to detract from it's value as food product
 The seizure was made as follows One hundred and eighty-one cases of Sugar Glen. Plunkett-Jarrell Grocer Company. 62 cases Sugar Glen and S7 cases Burre. CooperSearan Grocer Company; 94 cases Sugar Glen and l92 cases Burro, Geyer & Adams; 126 cases Sugar Glen, Charles F. Penzei; g cases Sugar Glen, Scott-Mayer Commission Company.
 All persons claiming title in the cases of molasses seized are to be in the federal court October 19. The government asks for the destruction or the sale of the product. Ii sold under the contention of the govern ment, part Of the proceeds will be ap- piled to the costs of the suit and the balance turned into the treasury of the United States.
 William c. Whipple, United States district attorney, who filed the suit himself would only say that the brands of molasses named had been tested by government experts. IL is known that government experts were in Little Rock a few weeks ago taking samples of food products that come under the interstate class and there fore must be stamped in accordance with the federal pure food and drug act The complaint states that ship ments Of the alleged adulterated pro- duet were made between October IS. | 1907. and August 1 of this year. | The district attorney declined 10 | discuss the suit farther than the text of the complaint He said he could not say whether all labeled goods in this market had been inspected The suit was brought at the direction of the attorney general of the United States
 The filing of the suit does not re- | fleet in any way on the Little Rock merchants Shipments coming to them from a foreign state bear the stamp of the maker that the law rela- 1 tive to pure food has been compiled with and if the law has been dis obeyed the trouble reverts to the firm that caused the stamps to be attached to the products
