Mandy as she came down
the steps.
"All right" called Douglas. Take
these with you. Perhaps they may
help" He gathered up the garlands
which Polly had left on the ground.
His eyes were shining. He looked
younger than Mandy had ever seen
him
Polly had turned her back at the
sound of Mandy's voice and crossed to
the elm tree, drying her tears of hap
piness and trying to control her newly
awakened emotions. Douglas felt in
tuitiveIy that she needed this moment
for recovery, so he piled the leaves
and garlands high in Mandy's arms,
then ran into the house with the light
step of n boy.

Guess she'll be mighty careful what
she says afore Mandy tonight" She
chuckled as she disappeared down the
walk to the Sunday school room.
Polly stood motionless where Mandy
had left her She hardly knew which
way to turn. She was happy, yet
afraid. She felt like sinking upon her
knees and begging God to be good to
her, to help her. She who had once
been so Independent, so self reliant,
now felt the need of direction from
above. She was no longer master of
her own soul. Something had gone
from her, something that would never,
never come again. While she hest

The big one?"

"You don't mean Polly's question
was answered by Jim himself, who
had followed Hasty quickly through

and every one in the world except
Polly, and neither of them noticed the
Mortified Miss Perkins and the Widow
Willoughby who had been crossing the
yard on their way from the Sunday
school room with Julia.

SUPERVISOR HOGHE
 LEAVES FOR CHICAGO
He Will Take No Chances With
 That Skunk Bite.

Chairman Hoghe of the board of supervisors left last night for Chi cago to take treatment at the PasI teur institute for a bite by d skunk on Sunday morning. Whether it was hydrophobia skunk or not is uncertain. and that problem could be settled only by MT. Hoghe re- maining here and awaiting develop ments. He made up his mind yes terday afternoon that he would not furnish the solution for that prob lem.
 He accordingly applied to the board for a leave of absence for thirty days. Supervisor Orme was appointed to act in his absence.
 The skunk which raised all this cOmmotion in the board was killed by dog soon after it had bitten MT. Hoghe. and its carcass was brought to town to be examined.

BOLD ROBBERY IN
 BROAD DAYLIGHT
Thief Says Excuse Me" and Walk
 Out of. the House.

There was daylight robbery yes terday, the astonishing features of which are the nerve displayed by the thief and the ease with which he made his escape
 Mrs. N. J. Brady was placidly sew ing in the front room of her home at 2O3 East Monroe street about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She was alone in the house at the time, or supposed she was. The door at the rear of the house was locked, but one of the windows was open. Sud denly Mrs. Brady pricked up her ears. She thought she heard a light footfall in the bedroom. In that room. lying on the bed and tucked under a blanket, was a purse. con- taining a twenty-dollar gold piece, a gold brecelet made of ten mug gets of pure gold. and about s2.5O in change. The bracelet was an heirloom and had been in the fam fly for many years.
 Mrs. Brady arose to investigate the soft footballs she heard in the bedroom.
 Her chair squeaked as she arose from it. and just then man brushed past her, saying as he hurried out. Excuse me, excuse me" and ran out of the door, leaving her to sur mise what he was eXcusing himself for. Mrs. Brady ran into the bed room. felt frantically for the purse and then saw it lying flat and empty on the floor She shrieked and ran after the intruder.
 Mrs. Brady got a good look at the thief He was raw-boned Mexican. dressed in a blue shirt, black felt hat and dark overalls or trousers. Mrs. Brady watched the man run down Monroe street to Third. Some young men were stand ing on the opposite side of the street, and could probably have in tercepted the fugitive. Mrs. Brady called to them. but they did not re- spond to her cries of Thief"
 She did not lose an instant in get ting to the telephone and calling up the police station. Officer Gaskin answered the phone and was on his bicycle in an instant. The thief had a close call. as Gaskin was on the spot within a minute or two after he disappeared down Third street.
 The thief gained entrance to the house through the rear window. He seemed to know just where the purse was kept, for he had not disturbed anything else. The most valuable piece of plunder he got was the bracelet made of gold nuggets The T. H. furnished to the police is so good that it is probable that he will be in the city jail before many hours.

But how a hydrophobia skunk can be distinguished from another has not been set forth. Scientists decline to recognize the existence of hydro phobia skunks There is said to be no authentic work on rabies which alludes to the skunk as special breeder of it.
 But the prospectors and cattlemen and others who live much out of doors in the southwest do net care what the scientists think. When they are bitten they make a hur- ried journey to Chicago.
 According to the theory of most prospectors, the animal which bit MT. Hoghe was not a hydrophobia skunk. They say that dog will not attack one of them, but at the sight of it he sinks away whimper- ing. In this case, the dog attacked the animal without more than the usual hesitation which a well or dered dog would feel in going against that kind of an odor. However, Mir. Hoghe was not sure that his dog was not more than ordinarily fool hardy, as he himself had been kick ing the animal with his bare foot. Anyhow, he has determined to see the Pasteur people about it.
 There are three kinds of skunks in this territory. that is. three kinds of legged skunks. One is large and beautiful animal. with a black body, white stripe running along the black and white bushy tail. which he puts to a vile use when he becomes emotional.
 Another kind of skunk is nearly as large, but of dingy color. His habits are much the same as those of his more beautiful brother. and he is no more of society pet than his brother
 The third. and the so-called hydro phobia skunk though it is not con- tended that all are hydrophobic. is small animal not much larger than a big squirrel. He. too. is dingy, but indistinctly marked with dirty gray or brown spots.
 Skunks of this kind are seldom found far down iI the Salt River valley. but are numerous in the mountains of the entire southwest and western Mexico
 In this connection it may be re- called that MT. Hoghe. in the inter est of taxpayers. has been stern opponent of the wild animal bounty

SECRETARY Of INTERIOR -BALL|NGER
|NSPECTS THE UMAT|LLA PROJECT

While making no definite promise
that the relief desired would be
granted. Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger yesterday afternoon assur-
ed the settlers on the Umatilla pro-
ject that their request for deferred
payments would be given due consid-
Grafton. He said he realized that the
severe wind storms of the past two
springs had resulted adversely to the
settlers and he thought 1t might be
possible that the department would
be able to see its way clear to de-
clare an emergency and make a spe-
cial concession CT some kind which
would be for the benefit of the set
tiers.
It seems to be the policy of the
government and of the service to
adopt identical rules for the govern
ment Of all the projects which have
been undertaken. This is said to be
necessary to prevent charges of fa-
voritism and unfairness. At the same
time the secretary seemed to be so
Impressed with the reasonableness OF
the request made to him yesterday
that he left the impression that some
