walked out to where Kennedy was
waiting. He swung into the saddle,
ignoring Rebstocks abjurations, and
with Kennedy rode away.

Smith to his companion. Then, too.

Thirty minutes afterward, messen-

CHAPTER XVII.
The Fight In the Cache.

A clear night and a good moon made
a long ride possible, and the Crawling
Stone contingent, headed by Stormy
German, began coming into the rail
road camp by three o'clock the next
morning. With them rode the two
Youngs, who had lost the trail they
followed across Goose river and Joined
the cowboys on the road to the north.
The party divided under Kennedy
and Smith. who rode through the Door
into the Cache just before daybreak.
II don't know what l am steering
you against this morning, Farrell"
said Whispering Smith. Certainly l
should hate to run you into Du Sang,
but we can't tell where we shall strike
him. II we have laid out the work

anybody does. Accidents do happen,

stomach at the start. II you possibly

Now we split here; and good luck,"
Don't you want to take Brill Young

You take both the Youngs, Farrell.
We shall be among rocks, and If he
tries to rush us there is cover"
Stormy German with four Crawling
Stone cowboys followed Whispering
Smith. Every rider on the range had
a grievance against Williams Cache,
and any of them would have been glad
to undertake reprisals against the
rustlers under the wing OF Whispering
Smith.
Just how in the mountains-with-
out telegraph, newspapers, and all or
dinary means Of publicity-news trav-
els SO fast may not certainly be said.
The scattered lines of telephone wires
help, but news outstrips the wires.
Moreover. there are no telephones in
the Mission mountains. But on the
morning that the roundup party rode
into the Cache it was known in the
streets of Medicine Bend that the
Tower W men had been tracked into
the north country; that some. II not

that an ultimatum had been given, and

to do so at the Door that day and the
next; but any brands that showed
stolen cattle, or that had been skinned
or tampered with in any way. were to
be turned over to the Stock associa-
ton for the benefit of owners.
The very first pocket raided started
row and uncovered 80 head of Ave-
year-old steers bearing mutilated
at rattlesnakes to undertake to clean
out the grassy retreats Of the Cache,
but the work was pushed on In spite
OF protests. threats. and resistance.
Every man that rode out openly to
make protest was referred calmly to
Rebstock, and before very long Reb
stocks cabin had more men around
1t than had been seen together In the
Cache for years. The impression that
the whole Jig was up, and that the
refugees had been sold out by their
own boss. was one that no railroad
man undertook to discourage. The
cowboys insisted on the cattle, with
the assurance that Rebstock could ex
plain everything. BY noon the Cache
was In an uproar. The cowboys were

Sitting once in the Three Horses

with Whispering Smith. 81 used to

anxiety and In a confidential moment.
Under pressure he was, like all men.

Whispering Smith had acquaintance
even in the Cache. and after a little
careful reconnoitering he found Grip

down the Cache. who was willing to
take a message to the boss.
Whispering Smith gave his instruc-

CARDS"
Riding circumspectly in and about
the entrance to the Cache, the party
waited an hour for an answer. When
the answer came, II was unsatisfac-
tory. Rebstock declined to appear
upon SO trivial q matter. and Whisper
ing Smith refused to specify further
grievance. More parley and stronger
messages were necessary to stir the
Deep creek monarch, but at last he
sent word asking Whispering Smith to
come to his cabin accompanied only
by Kennedy.
The two railroad men rode up the
canyon together. "And now will
show you lean and hungry thief
grown monstrous and miserly, Far
rell," said Whispering Smith.

tween two sheer granite walls they saw

Then Find Body of Parent
in His Place OF
Business

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 81. A.
de Armond, a cousin of Congressman
De Armond, who was burned to death
at Butler, Mo-, ten days ago, was to
night electrocuted as he reached to put
out an incandescent light in tho store
room of his place Of business.
Standing on the ground covered with
a pool of water, De Almond received
the full current and died at once. His
right hand was burned severely by the
current. His daughter and son had
assisted in closing the store, and, go
ing to their new building a few doors
distant, waited for their father to join
them before going home.
Becoming impatient at his failure TO
appear, his son, Wayland, 13 years old,
started in search and stumbled over
his body. A pathetic scene followed the
gathering of the family, none of whom
had been apprised that he was dead.
Mr.. De Almond was 50 years old and
a native of Iowa. For seven years he
had been in the secondhand business
here, recently purchasing a new build
ing. He is survived by four children
and a widow.

less dangerous than the game played
in this country. Few opportunities of
seeing a really tirst-class exhibition
of the Canadian game have been offered

VISALIA. Cal, Dec. 9.-The town of
Orosi, eighteen miles north of here,

six inches to a foot, by the OVER
flowing of Sand creek, which was
swollen by heavy rains in the hills
last night. Damage to property is
small.
Rain is still falling and the creek
continues to rise.
A report from Three Rivers, in the
mountains thirty-flve miles east of VII

shows the Kaweah river to be higher
than for five years past, warm rain
having melted the snow and caused
the rise. Should the rain continue,
