"Oh. yes; and il We had a ladder

"By-heck. Miss Jenny, you've got

Neither Winthrope nor Miss Leslie
was reluctant TO leave the vicinity of
the carcasses. They followed close
after Blake. around the monstrous
bole Of the baobab. A little beyond it
stood a group of slender trees. whose
trunks averaged eight inches at the
base. Blake stopped at the second

"Snakeso-oh!" cried Miss Leslie,
and she stood shuddering at the dan

The fire had burnt itself out on a
bare ledge OF rock between them and
the baobab. and the clumps of dry
brush left standing in this end of the
cleft were very suggestive of snakes.

she exclaimed.

Purchasers of land must also con-
tract for a water right, to be paid for
in ten annual assessments. the total
cost including perpetual water
right in the Little Snake river canal
system, being thirty-five dollars per
acre.
This is pronounced one of the most
fertile valleys in Colorado. and record
crops of all grains. grasses and roots
are now being raised there. Both
the Moffat Road and the Union Pacific
are building into the district.
Persons desiring full information
about the land and water should write

Will not that he rather too much
fer Miss Leslie?" asked Winthrope.
We'll, if she'd rather come and rub
brains on the skins,-Indian tan, you
know,-Or-"
How can you mention such things
before Lady," protested Winthrope.
BEG your pardon. Miss Leslie. you

pany. Anyway, you've got to see and
hear about these things. And now I'll
have to get the strings for Wins

got that old tabby to peel, and lot
more besides"
Miss Leslie's first impulse was to
protest against being left alone. when
at any moment some awful venom
Gus serpent might come darting at her
out of the brush or the creyices in
the rocks. But her half-parted lips
drew firmly together. and after a mo-
mcnt's hesitancy, she forced herself
to the task which had been assigned
her. The fire. once started, required
little attention. She could give most
of her time to gathering brush for the
fumigatiOn of the leopard den.
She had collected quite a heap of
fuel at the entrance. of the hollow,
when she remembered that the place
would first have 10 be cleared of it's
accumulation of bones. A glance at
her companions showed that they
were in the midst CT tasks even more
revolving. 1t was certainly disagree
able to do such things: yet. as Mr..
Blake had said, others had to do them.
1t was now her time to learn. She
could see him smile at her hesitation.
Stung by the thought of his half
contemptuous pity, she caught up
forked stick, and forced herself to ell
ter the tree-cave. The stencil met her
like blow. 1t nauseated and all but
overpOwered her. She stood for sew

Tremper, the aged bigamist under

five women to whom he was married

Tremper said matrimony was all
right If taken in moderate guam
titles" He said he thought he was
qualified to talk as an expert on the
marriage question, having lived with
women of all kinds of ages, of all
kinds of dispositions and of all kinds
of tempers.

His favorite wife, Tremper said,
was Mrs. Susie Meyers, whom he
married at Westminster, Md. His
first wife traced him and had him
sent to Jail for seven years for big
amy. When he was released he
went in for matrimony with all COM

after a few weeks. They were all
well to do and principally widows.
Tremper is being held pending the
arrival OF extradition papers from

he last married lives.
