An Ominous ,luil.

Miss Leslie had withdrawn
into the baobab and Blake had gone ofI
down the cleft for more salt He did not
return until after the others were
asleep. Miss Leslie had gone without
her supper, or had eaten some of the
food stored within the tree.

attempts to start a conversation, she

inarticulate grunt. When she turned
to enter the baobab, she found the
opening Uttered with bamboos and
green creepers and pieces of large
branches with charred ends. On either
side, midway through the entrance, a
vertical row of holes had been sunk
through the bark Of the tree into the
soft wood.
What is this?" she asked. "Are
you planning a porch?"
Maybe" he replied.
But Why should you make the holes
SO far in? know SO little about these
matters. but should have fancied the
holes would come on the front of the
tree"
You'll see In q day or two"
How did you make the holes? They
look black. as though"

That was SO clever of you!"
He made no response.
Supper was eaten in silence. Even

throughout the meal sullen and stolid,

was upon them. Yet she fingered for
a last attempt.
Goodnight, friend!" she whispered.
He sprans up as though she had
struck him and blundered away into
the darkness.
In the morning ii was as before. He
had gone of before she Weakened. She
fingered over breakfast; but he did
not appear, and she could not endure
Winthrope's suave drawl. She went
for another day on the headland.
She returned somewhat earlier than
on the previous day. As before, Win
thrope was doing in the shade. But
Blake was under the bacbab, raking
together a heap of rubbish. His hands
were scratched and bleeding. To the
girls surprise, he met her with a
cheerful grin and a clear, direct glance
Look here" he called.
She stepped around the baobab and
stood staring. The entrance, from the
ground to the height of II feet, was
walled up with a mass of thorny
branches. interviewer with yet thorn

demanded.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet 1t Is the least expensive
food one can eat
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than II
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
lessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes. 8

Last Sunday afternoon. after
Messrs. Hubbard and Dow returned
from the hills with the articles they
found belonging to the bank robbers
they secured seance with her at the
home of Mr.. Hubbard. When they
returned to town they turned over
the articles they found to Detective
Erb. of the Pinkertons but were al
lowed to keep one of the sacks few
hours and when the seance began
Mr.. Hubbard had it in his pocket.
He refused to tell Mrs Moulton
thing regarding the trip until after
the seance.
In a few minutes Saginaw took
possession of her and Mr.. Hubbard
asked questions and he answered in
his broken English. He said the rob
bers We're experts. that they wore
coats with immense pockets on the
inside in which they had put the
money and it did not show from the
outside and that one put some money
in his boot. That after dividing IL
they went down to the Roaring Fork
and waded in it short distance. com
ing out on the other side and getting
on to the Midland track. They went
down the track until they succeeded
in capturing hand car which they
rode until they reached the Hager-
man tunnel They walked through
the tunnel and separated on the other
side. The taller one had been one of
the Malta hold-ups and he was shy
of the ID. & r. G. They stole rides
on freights and one of them stole a
pick and passed as miner and
bought a ticket that carried him a
short distance.
They met in Pueblo where the
short one found job but did not go
to work. On the contrary they
bought tickets on a passenger train
and went south and are now in Mex
leo at the headquarters of the gang
they belonged to, The gang lives in
the mountains near some large Mex
lean city
Saginaw said that the one on the
horse that was killed was wounded
slightly by the ball. One of the
sacks had blood on it which indicates
that this might be true.
He seemed to have an electric
shock when Mr. Hubbard threw the
empty sack in Mrs. Moulton's lap and
said at once that 1t was one of the
things they carried their sinners"
in. On being asked how he got his
information he said there were two
spirits present who had formerly
been detectives, one a Pinkerton and
one Thiele, and that they had wit
messed the whole thing and were
telling him what to answer Mr.. Hub
bard.
He said the taller of the two had
worked near Glenwood for a short
time and ii has developed that he was
probably shift boss at Shoshone for
a while.
He also said that the tall one was
a very nervy fellow and would prob
ably die before he would be captured
but that the other was a coward and
was scared badly during the shooting
on the mountain side.
After Mrs. Moulton regained con
seriousness MIR. Hubbard asked her if
she knew who the detectives were
and she said that she had two dead
brothers who, when alive, had been
detectives, one Pinkerton and the
other a Thiele. AS to their being
present and telling Saginaw what he
told Mr.. Hubbard, you must decide
for yourself.
1t don't matter whether you do or
not believe in such things. our be
lief don't affect their truth or falsity
one particle. There is nothing i'm
probable in Saginaw's story. and you
can draw your own conclusions
