CHAPTER XXI.
The Man on the Frenehman.

Sinclair's place on the Frenchman
backed up on a sharp rise against the
foothills Of the Bridger range. and the
ranch buildings were strung along the
creek. The ranchhouse stood on ground
high enough to command the country
for miles up and down the valley.
Only two roads lead from Medicine
Bend and the south into the French
man country: one a wagon road fol-
lowing Smoky creek and running
through Dale canyon: the other
pack road. known as the Gridley trail.
crossing the Topaz Topaz hills and
making n short cut from the Dunning
ranch on the Crawling Stone TO the
Frenchman. The entire valley is, in
fact. SO difficult Of access, save by the
long and roundabout wagon road. that
the sight OF complete outfit OF build
ings such as that put up by Sinclair
always came as n surprise to the trav-
eler. who. reaching the crest OF the
hills. looked suddenly down 1000 feet
on his well-ordered sheds and barns
and corrals.
Crawling Stcne Marion and Dicksie
Dunning rode early in the morning the
day after Mccioud and his men left
the Stone ranch with their work done
The trail is a good three hours long

about ten o'clock. He was waiting for

criminal consciousness that she
knew too much. The weight OF the
dreadful secret weighed on her. and
her responsibility In the issue Of the
day ahead did not help TO make her
greeting nm easy one. One thing only
was fixed In her mind and reflected
IN the tension of her lips nnd her
eyes: The resolve TO keep nj every

THE VERY BEST.

Have any of our readers seen re-
cent copy of the Cincinnati Weekly
Enquirer? If not, it will pay to
send for a copy, if for no other pur-
pose than to note its present great
worth as an educator in all things
that tend to make life prosperous,
and home, the happiest place on
earth.
The editor by asking its readers
to criticise and suggest improve
ments; and following advice thus
obtained is enabled to produce a
paper that exactly fits needs of a
family and a material aid to father,
mother and children in reaching
that higher level in social life,
where content and comfort reigns
supreme.
Father obtains ample information
that guides in the where, when and
how to regulate and increase the
income from his efforts. The
mother in management of house
hold affairs, practical economy,
government of children, and other
duties that makes her toll labor
of love. Children's minds and
hearts are freed from thoughts of
questionable amusements and fri
volities of life, and encouraged to
emulate all that is helpful in plan
ing for useful future in life.
The Grand Idea being that Gas
are our Homes, so will be the Com
munity, State and Nation"
A most desirable help, is nom
sectarian sermon each week, as
preached by that Biblical Student
Pastor Chas. T. Russell; forcible
reminder of the spiritual and tenn
poral rewards gained by righteous
living as preferable to Goddess
life that brings nought but misery
to the home.
Other departments and features
are above the ordinary, the unani-
nous verdict of its readers being

Former Champion Really Wants An
other Try For the Belt.

Denver, Colo, JAM Apparently
James ]. Corbett is sincere in his an
nouncement that he will re-enter the
prize ring and endeavor to bring back
TO white man the worlds heavy
weight championship won by Jack
Johnson, the Galveston colored fight
er. Given six months in which to
train and condition himself properly
for the contest, he said that he felt
confident he could win. 1t is regard
ed as probable, therefore, should the
Australian fight promoters take Cor
belts talk seriously and offer cham
pionship purse for championship
fight, Corbett would again be seen in
the ring.
Corbett is now AZ years old. Since
the night of Aug. 4, 1903, when JEFF
fries knocked him out in 10 rounds,
he has had on a boxing glove but

FLEET REACHES CANAL
Battleships Make Fast Time and Beat

Suez, Jan. . = The United States
Atlantic battleship feet, completing
two days ahead of its schedule the
next to the longest run of its world
girdling cruise, arrived here from
Colombo, a distance of 3,440 knots,
from which place the fleet sailed on
Dec. 90 The stately array of battle
ships was an impressive sight. The
weather was splendid and the bay
was crowded with craft, the occu-
pants of which gave an enthusiastic
welcome to the ships.
When the ships had come to an
Choir the Egyptian and canal authori-
ties went aboard the flagship Con-
necticut and welcomed Rear Admiral
Sperry, who expressed himself as
well satisfied with the cruise from
Colombo. He regretted that he was
compelled to curtail his stay in
Egypt, but hoped that at some future
time an opportunity would be given
him to visit Cairo. The admiral
spoke of the Austrslasian visit of the
feet as the special feature Of the
trip.
The American fleet is the most
powerful ever to pass through the
Suez canal, and will give new test
Of the capacity of the great artificial
water route. Great Britain often has
sent strong squadrons to the east
along this route. but none has been
more than half as large as the Amer
ican fleet.
