midnight the valley near the bridge
lay in stiffness broken only BY the
hoarse calls Of the patrols and far-otf
megaphones. From the bridge camp,
which lay on high ground near the
grade. the distant lamps Of the track
walkers could be seen moving dimly.
Before the campfire in front Of Nc
Clouds tent a group Of men, smoking
and talking, sat or lay sprawled on
tarpaulins, drying themselves after the
long day. Among them we're the
weather-beaten remnants Of the old
guard Of the mountain workers, men
who had fought the Spider Water
with Glover. Bill Dancing, huge, lum-
bering, awkward as a bear and as
shifty, was talking, because with no
apparent effort he could talk all night,
and was a valuable man at keeping
the camp awake. Bill Dancing talked
and, after Sinclair's name had been
dropped from the roll, ate and drank
more than any two men on the d.
vision. A little apart, McCloud lay
on leather caboose cushion trying to
get q nap.
The man sent to the bridge had
turned back, and behind his lantern
Dancing heard the tread Of horses. He
stood at one side of the campfire
while the visitors rode up; they were
women. Dancing stood dumb as they
advanced into the freight. The one
ahead spoke: Mr.. Dancing, don't
you know me-" AS she stopped her
horse the light Of the fire struck her
face. why, Mis- Sinclair"
Yes, and Miss Dunning is with
me-" returned Marion. Bill staggered
This is an awful place to get to; we
have been nearly drowned, and we
want to see Mr.. McCloud."
McCloud, reused by Marion's voice,
came forward. you were asleep"
said she as he greeted her. 81 am SO

CHAPTER XVIII.
At the Dixie.

Al the Dixie.
Marion caught her closely to her
heart. Il knew you would go If / got
you angry, dear. But you are so slow
to anger. Mr.. McCloud is just the
same way. Mr.. Smith says when he
does get angry he can do anything.
He Is very like you in so many ways"
Dicksie was wiplng her eyes. as
he, Marion? Well, what shall / wear?"
Just your ridingclothes, dear, and
a smile. He won't know what you have
on. 1t is you he will want to see. But
I've been thinking of something else.
What will your Cousin Lance say?
Suppose he should object?"
Object! | should like to see him
object after losing the fight himself"
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1909-11-05

Marion laughed. "Well. do you think
you can find the way down there for
us?"
II can find any way anywhere within
100 miles Of here"
On the goth Of June McCloud did
have something of an army of men in
the Crawling Stone valley. OF these,
ESQ were in the vicinity Of the bridge,
the abutments and piers of which
were being put in Just below the Dun.
ming ranch. Near at hand Bill Dan
cling, with a big gang, had been for
some time watching the ice and dyna-
hitting the jams. McCloud brought in
more men as the river continued to
rise. The danger line on the gauges
was at length submerged, and for
three days the mainline construction
camps had been robbed of men to
guard the soft grades above and be-
low the bridge. The new track up
and down the valley had become
highway Of escape from the food, and
the track patrols were met at every
curve by cattle, horses, deer, wolves
and coyotes fleeing from the waste
Of waters.
Through the Dunning ranch the
Crawling Stone river makes a far
bend across the valley to the north
and east. The extraordinary volume
of water now pouring through the Box
canyon exposed 10000 acres Of the
ranch to the caprice Of the river, and
If at the point Of its tremendous sweep
to the north 1t should cut back into its
old channel the change would wipe
the entire body Of ranch alfalfa lands
of the face Of the valley. With the
heat Of the frightening June days a
vast steam rose from the chill waters
Of the river, marking in ominous wind
ings the channel Of the main stream
through yellow sea which, ignoring
the usual landmarks Of trees and
dunes, fanked the current broadly on
either side. Late in the afternoon Of
the day that Dicksie with Marion
sought McCloud, a storm drifted down
the Topaz Topaz hills, and heavy
showers broke across the valley.
At nightfall the rain had passed and
the mist lifted from the river. Above
the bluffs rolling patches II cloud OBJ

solved to let Dicksie fight 1t out her
self.
When Dicksie came down, Marion
stood at the foot Of the stairs. The
young mistress Of Crawling Stone
ranch descended step by step very
slowly. Marion" she said, simply, Il
will go with you"

CHAPTER XVII.
The Crawling Stone Rise.

So sudden was the onset Of the river
that the trained riders Of the big
ranch we're taken completely aback,
and hundreds of head of Dunning cat
tie were swept away before they could
be removed to points Of safety. Fresh
alarms came with every hour of the
day and night, and the telephones up
and down the valley rang necessarily
with appeals from neighbor to neigh
Dor, lance Dunning. calling out the
reserves of his vocabulary, swore ire
rendously and directed the operations
against the river. These seemed. In.

Second Librarian viii Arrive
Before Opening of School
Term.

The trustees of Oahu College have
decided that, in order to complete the
cataloguing of books in the Cooke La
brary, it will be necessary to have a
second librarian. The Librarian has
been sent for and will probably arrive
before the opening of the next school
year.
The Cooke Library now contains 3D.
900 bound columes and about 1000 I'M
bound pamphlets and periodicals. This
collection includes both the books of
the old library and also the volumes
purchased with the generous donation
furnished by Mr. and Mrs. G. NJ. Cooke.
The cataloguing of these volumes is
being done in very thorough and
complete manner, under one system, the
Library of Congress cards being used
as far as is practicable.
As both the librarian and the trus-
tees are anxious to have the cataloguing
completed as soon as possible, it was
decided that a second librarian should
be engaged. The second librarian will
devote her time, almost exclusively, to
cataloguing. With the arrival of the
new librarian. the work will be rushed
along as rapidly as is consistent with
thoroughness. It is estimated that
about two years will be required to
complete the work.

Art Theater.

In ''The Musicians Love Story,
announced as the feature of today's
program at the Art, the audience will
witness drama at once romantic and
pathetic.
A clever young musician falls in love
with his pupil, and while he gives ex-
preston to his feelings in an improvis-
alton on his violin, the young lady be-
comes so enraptured, that she falls up-
on his neck. This tender tete-a-te is
interrupted by her wealthy father, who
peremptorily orders the teacher to
leave the house, which he does, ac-
companied by the girl who refuses to
give him up and is in turn cast off by
the incensed parent.
They marry and twelve months later
find themselves in INDECENT eircum-
stances and domiciled in garnet, when
the young wife receives letter from
her father conveying his forgiveness
| and asking her to return home, which
invitation does not include the hus-
band, however. Having been brought
up in the lap of luxury, and being I'M
able to endure the privations of pow
| erty any longer, she accepts, taking
with her her baby girl. The latter
| grows up. and when Is years of age
/ is saved from the murderous assault of
a rufian in the street by an aged
| musician. She is profuse in her thanks.
but her rescuer hurries away and ac-
| eldentally drops pawn ticket for SIS,
| which in his desperate plight he has
borrowed upon his dearly beloved
Stradivarius. She redeems the instru.
ment and in her gratitude hastens
Herewith to the humble abode of the
grief-stricken musician just in time to
i stop him from taking poison. He halls
the return of his violin with TRANSPORTS
of JOY. By playing to the girl the old
love strain which she has heard he,
mother repeat the fact is disclosed that
father and daughter are met after is
long years OF separation. and the girl &
grandfather having died in the mean
while, she leads the musician in triumph
to her stately home, where the ole
lovers are reunited.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Wolf Catcher.

One of the best KNOWN plainsmen of
this day is Jack Alternately, the man
who catches wolves alive and whose
record is such that President Roosevelt,
when occupant of the White House, in
vited him to come there with his
friend, an ex-train robber, AL Jen-
nings, and show how it was done. The
east room was turned for the time into
the naked country around Western
Texas, but instead of real horses and
a live lobo the scene was enacted on
a screen with the aid of a motion pic
ture machine. So satisfactory was il
that the invitation was repeated and
ladies requested to attend.
The success of the first show was re
peated in the second, and then Aber-
nathy and Jennings got into the bust
ness of catching wolves, and fighting
them, while they were roping the
fercest of the tribes and turning them
over to the geological gardens in the
big cities. The pictures are clear anG
realistic in the highest degree. The
scenery is new to the people Of Homo
lulu, and a glimpse of real western
country is given. This is the only pic
ture known to have the direct approval
of ex-President Roosevelt, the man who
so strongly opposed nature taking, and
being true, the public may rest assur
ed that there is more reality about i
than is found in the average out-of
door scenes shown ON the screens. Aber
nathy and Jennings are both govern
| ment officials and national characters

ING GRAND STAND PLAY DISTRICT

The North End paving In dis
trict 410 will probably be consid-
cred by the city council again to-
morrow night.
City Chemist Heinrich yesterday
reported to Commissioner McGre-
gor and while he says the paving
is fairly within the specifications,
he says the Specifications are not
what they should be and that the
pavement is not as rich In mineral
matter as 1t ought to be for a first
class Job.
Manager Kappes of the Barber
Asphalt company declares the
pavement is the best ever put
down Tacoma.
This whole stink has been
stirred up by one man, Mr.. Den
man, and he has ruined the pave
ment IN front of his place by put
ting gasoline on It," said Keppes.

advantage of the occasion to make
a grandstand play to .Set some-

ing. Ill five days, according to
the certificate.
The only child of Mrs. Kelleher
now living is 6-year-old Thomas,
who somehow escaped fatal
dose.
After an arrest for arson, Mrs.
Kelleher was secretly indicted last
March for murder. ELIMINATION
and analysis at that time of the
bodies of her sister-in-law and
her children showed that every
one was literally loaded with ar
senic. Recently the bodies of her
husband and sister were also ex-
humed and their visera are now
in the hands of Prof. Whitney of
the Harvard Medical college.
BY orders of Dist. Atty. J. j.
Higgins, the report of the chem
lists on their findings in the last
two cases must be placed in his
hands at once so that the Mid
dlesex county grand jury may in
dict on still two further counts,
making six in all. Should this be
done this mild-faced old woman
will face trial this month charged
with more capital crimes prob
ably than any woman since the
days of Lucretia Borgia.
Not the least peculiar feature of
the whole mystery is the attitude
of the woman herself. In Cam
bridge Jail, where she has been
since last spring, Mrs. Kelleher is
a model prisoner. She goes about
her prison duties stolidly and
quietly, and from the day of her
arrest has steadily maintained her
innocence of any hand in the
deaths of her family.
But not word will she say of
where the money went, not an
iota of explanation of any sort
will she give. Convicted or un-
convicted, there is every likeli-
hood-so far as she herself is con-
cerned-that the epidemic of
death which swept away her hus-
band, her sister, her :. sister-in-
law and her children will forever
remain a mystery.
