Maybe it's a burglar" suggested
imaginative Kitty Watson.
Hearing voices, Mary sat bolt up
right. She could not imagine where
she was. Why was she in such a dark
room? Why was she in such a
cramped position? What made her
limbs ache so terribly? Then it all
came back to her-how she and Jessie
and Carl had come up here to hide
from Bobby Holdun, who was it, So
she jumped out and opened the lid of
the chest in which Jessie and Carl had
hidden. Jessie and Carl opened their
eyes. When Mary laughingly told
them that they had been found they
jumped out and rubbed their aching
legs.
Then Molly told them what she had
come UP for and how she had been so
scared at seeing some person in the old
chest instead of the clothes she was
after, and how Kitty Watson had
thought Mary was a burglar
And how those three did laugh! And
how they all did laugh! Jessie went
over directly to the right chests, and
with the help of the others carried the
ancient wardrobes down to the dress
ing room" And Mary was the heroine
and Carl was the hero in the play"
None of them told the others how they
had found Mary and Jessie and Carl,
and in the play the beautiful princess
(Mary) was locked up in a chest by a
cruel ogre, from which gallant prince
(CarD finally rescued her.

hiding place" Away he went to the
garnet. And before any of the children
could reach the top of the stairs he
was pounding away on the chest from
which muffied noises could be heard.
Papa said: We'll, it's glad luck for
you little sparrows that 1 found you
chattering in your cozy nest, for I
shouldn't have looked into this high
chest if you hadn't been talking"
I'VE have been asleep" declared
Mary and were getting scared because
we could not lift the lid
You couldn't have done it in a hun
dred years." said papa, "for the hasp
had fallen over the staple and had
locked it fast
He helped them out to the great de-
light Of the whole party, who stood
about laughing and talking in high
glee.
Then they followed papa and mamma
down stairs and had, oh! such a sweet
time pulling candy.

In the meantime the children had all
been found by the one who was "it'
except Mary, Jessie and Carl, and they
were now anxious to begin some new
game. They were tired of hide-and-
go-seek, and Molly Morgan, who loved
to dress up" suggested that they have
some plays" Some of them could, she
said, give the play and the rest could

be the audience" However, some Of
the children protested that they ought
to hunt until they found Mary and
Jessie and their cousin Carl, so Molly
said: 'rWel1, Alice, you and Marie Hall
and Johnnie Blake can go and look for
them, and 1 and all the rest of us will
go up to the attic and get the old
clothes for the play"
This they all agreed to, and while
the Searching party was looking
everywhere but the right place for
Mary and Jessie and Carl, Molly and
her company were hurrying up the
narrow, steep stairs that led to the
garnet. Molly knew that all of the old
fashioned and discarded clothes were
stored away in large chests under the
caves, but when she saw so many all
so much alike she did not know which
ones held the desired articles. So they
began opening all Of them.
All of a sudden Molly gave an ear
piercing Shrek. ooh, goodness! come
here!" she cried. She was bending over
one Of the chests There's someone
in here" she explained as all Of the
children crowded around her. Il saw
them move"
All of the light came from a small,
Slated window in one end, and it was
nearly covered over with cobwebs, so
as the Mortified children bent over the
chest they could barely discern a
cramped-up form in the bottom.

The laughter and shouts Of the chill
dren kept on as the hunters went all
over the house for the children. At
last it began to grow late and the
mother and father began to hunt for
them. They called for them, but no
answer came. Someone said: Maybe
they are in the garnet; can you get up
there?''
why, yes" said their mother. 'I
expect that's where they are''
All the children climbed up the lad
der, looking all around and calling
their names. They looked all over, but
could not find them. They were about
to go back down when a voice that
sounded away off said: "Oh! here we
are; come get us out!"
The children were so excited they be-
gan hunting all over, and at last one
little girl opened the large chest lid,
and there were Mary, Jessie and Carl
all cramped up in that chest. The
three jumped up, so glad to be out.
ooh! I feel so Stiff said Jessie, ST
can hardly walk"
Carl and Mary were also stiff from
being cramped up in the chest most all
the afternoon. All the children weiv

RAILROAD ID BORE
 FUR WATER
Will Try for Engine Supply in Deep Drilling at
 Thatcher

For the purpose of developing more water for use of trains through the valley, the Gila Valley railway com pany will begin work on new well at Thatcher, tomorrow morning.
 The drilling apparatus is already in place and Contractor Halberly, who will have charge of the work, arrived here last night in readiness to proceed with the sinking at once.
 The railroad company has drilled at a number of points throughout the val ley, in an effort to secure water for it's locomotives, but without any great sue cess, The proposed well is located in the artesian belt, however, and it is thought that at the proper depth, a good water supply will be encountered
 As it may be necessary to bore to a depth of 1000 feet before water is in sufficient quantity, prep have been made to sink to this depth.
 If sufficient flow of water is en- eountered, tank will be constructed which will supply water to the locomo- tives for a good part of the valley run.

OBAD WAS IN BAD
Released, However, of Forg- cry Charge After Inves-
 tigation in Court

Antone Obad, arrested yesterday for forgery on complaint of Antone But Ter, was discharged yesterday, after an examination before Judge H. H. Pratt
 Obad was arrested for endorsing two cheeks, one for $63.05 and another for
 s3.5O. The cheeks were made payable to Butler and were endorsed "Antone Butler, per A. Obad."
 Butler claims that he had never given Obad permission to endorse the checks and that he had received but few dollars of the value of the checks.
 In court Obad proved by Mark Ko chevar and others that Butler had given him permission to sign the checks, by reason of the fact that he was too drunk at the time to inscribe his name on the checks.
 A part of the money went to pay a bar bill at the Pioneer saloon. 4 part of the balance was kept by Obad to meet debts owed by Butler and some money was given to the complaining witness.
 As there was nothing to show that Obad had laid himself liable to for gery, the case was dismissed and he was given his liberty.

WHALLEY WILL BUY GRAHAM COUNTY
 LUMBER
Local Concern Arranges to Take Entire Output of
 Valley Company

By contract which has just been closed between The Whaley Lumber company and the Mount Graham Imm, Der company, the local concern will re. ceiye the entire output of the valley mill, amounting to about 10000 feet per day.
 The bulk of the output of the Mount Graham mill will be merely squared up and seasoned, before being shipped to Globe.
 The new mill of the Whalley com. pany will be running within a few weeks and as soon as it is in operation, the squared logs will be cut to size in the local mill.
 The Mount Graham mill has about 200,0O0 feet of lumber ready for ship ment at the present time and shipment will begin coming into Globe within the next few days.
 Owing to the great demand for lumber in this city, the local company expects to be able to use the entire output of the Graham county mill, according to statements made to the Silver Belt.
 With the closing of this contract, pro vision has been made for the use of practically the entire lumber output of the Mount Graham district in the Globe district, which should insure this city against any possibility of lumber fam inc in the future.
