 BY DEEP CONSPIRACY
4 Whole Net Full Of Suckers Was
 Caught in One Clever Throw.

Hello. doctor. what are you doing here?"
 T was waiting for my friend Ed monton of Bisbec. but 1 guess he missed the train" replied Dr F.. s. Godfrey, superintendent of public health as he turned away from the NJ X r. depot yesterday afternoon.
 That's rather funny replied the other. who chanced to be Surveyor General Ingalls, ''I was here to meet friend from Yuma. who also failed to arrive
 The two men then walked across the tracks toward the santa Fe depot, where they saw Captain Carter, secre- tary of the live stock sanitary board. and F. F.. Kirkland. territorial treas urer The train from the north had just arrived, unloaded it's passengers and backed out again while MessrS Kirkland and Carter stood there com paring notes. The doctor and the gen eral were a little surprised to see them. for Captain Carter seldom leaves the capitol before o'clock. and Mir Kirkland seldom l0afs around the depot But as they approached they heard the captain say:
 T don't know what it can be. but I imagine it is quite important. for got T telegram to meet him this after noon al the depot"
 Who was it?" inquired Mir. Kirk land
 sheriff Smith of Yavapai.' rspond ed the captain. 'I suppose hes got some darn cattle stealing case on"
 T was waiting here for Hugo Rich ards" observed Mir. Kirkland. Fl" wired too: just got the message a few minutes before left the capitol build ing. and had to hurry to get down here in time
 Let's see the message" said the captain.
 T haven't got it." said Mir. Kirkland. ii came over the telephone. 1 suppose from the Western Union"
 Whats that?" said General Ingalls,.
 When the treasurer repeated his answer the general said. 50 did mine"
 And SO did mine,' commented Cap tain Carter
 And so did mine" said Dr. Godfrey. and by the way did any of you mcn
 
 Fools day."
 The Western Union girls would hardly have the nerve to job busy of ficials like that" said Captain Car ter.
 No: but there are other girls" said AIr Kirkland, and soBs~<sa the cleS crest of them can be found in--.fr'- -eap- itol building" remarked Mir. Kirkland.
 And since I've been thinking about it." said 'the general. it seemed to me that the voice that repeated my message sounded mighty familiar"
 "The capitol girls might have been inveigled into becoming accomplices. broke in the doctor after moment or two of study. but one must Sb farther than that for the real conspiracy In this instance fl is clearly a case of the higher ups
 Then General Ingalls, took command with Captain Carter in charge of the first platoon and the company marched up town where Territorial Secretary George T.. Young and Territorial En- gneer J. E. Girand were encountered sitting in the formers automobile. Both were smiling.
 t-tiilt very iltti tsihiii- tli' bsAi~ myself" laughed Mir. Girand. but 1 didn't quite catch the message, so q lit- tie later telephOned the Western Union to repeat it and was informed they had no message for me. l wasn't born yesterday and it set me to think ing"
 How does it come Young wasn't with us?" commented Captain Carter. What do you know about thls thing. anyhow George?"
 Nothing in the world" said Mir Young 'I wasn't around the office much this afternoon. You might ask Bob or Fred Cleaveland."
 When seen at late hour last even ing Dr. Godfrey said he had nothing for publication except that he was still looking for Mir. Edmonton and thought he would be here this morning.
