A dozen steps had taken him
through a screen of shrub to the
opposite slope of the ridge. With
outstretched arm he pointed down
into the plain, and as Rowland s
eyes followed it's direction he
stood thorbbing with sudden ex-
element. Less than a quarter of
a mile away, sheltered in a dip of
the plain, were three or four log
buildings rising black and desc
late out of the white waste. One
of these buildings was large
structure similar to that in which
Rowland had been imprisoned,
and as he looked a team and
sledge appeared from behind one
of the cabin and halted close to
the wall of the large building.
The driver was plainly visible,
and to Howland's establishment he
suddenly began to ascend the side
of this wall: For the moment
Rowland bad not thought of a
stair.
Jeans attitude drew his eyes.
The Frenchman had thrust him
self half out of the screening
bushes and was staring through
the telescope of his hands. With
an exclamation he turned quickly
to the engineer.
Look, M'seur! Do you see
that man climbing the stair? |
don't mind telling you that he is
the one who hit you over the head
on the trail, and also one of thoes
who shut you up in the coyote.
Those are his quarters at the
post, and possibly he is going up
to see Meleese. If you were
much of shot you could settle
a score or two from here, M'seur."
The figure had stopped, evil
IDENTIFY on platform midway up
the side of the building. He
stood for a moment as if scanning
the plain between him and the
mountain, then disappeared. How
land had not spoken a word, but
every nerve in his body tingled
strangely.
You say Meleese-is there "
he questioned heSitatingly. And
he-who is that man, Croisset?"
Jean shrugged his shoulders
and drew himself back into the
bush, turning leisurely toward the
old cabin.
Non, M'seur, / will not tell
you that" he protested. 81
have brought you to this place. /
have pointed out to you the stair
that leads to the room where you
will find Meleese. You may cut
me into ribbons for the ravens,
but l will tell you no more!'
Again the threatening fire
leaped into Howland's eyes.
Il will trouble you to put your
hands behind your back, Crois-
Set" he commanded. q am go
ing to return a certain compli-
ment of yours by tying your hands

NOME IS SWEPT
BY HIGH SEA

NOME, Nov. 4.-Without an
hours warning the sea has swept
over the sandpit that stood be-
tween the camp buildings and the
shore and more than so danes
have been damaged.
The schooner Mary Sachs was
left in a spit dweller's yard and
all the other schooners are
ashore. In return the sea car
rled Off two houses besides the
10 it damaged.
Solomon may have been wiped
out, as no communication from
there has been received. In
Nome thousands of dollars worth
OF provisions have been DESTROY
ed. The cellars of the stores on
front street are full of water
and the stocks soaked.
Lying upon the open road .
Nome Is unprotected from the
severe storms of late fall.

with this piece of babeesh, which
you used on me. After that"
And after that, M'seur-"
urged Jean, with a touch of the
old taunt in his voice, and stop
ping with his back to the engi-
neer and his hands behind him.
AFTER that?"
you will tell me all that I
want to know" finished Rowland,
tightening the thong about his
wrists.
He led the way then to the
cabin. The door was closed, but
opened readily as he put his
weight against 1t. The single
room was lighted by a window
through which a mass of snow
had drifted, and contained moth
ing more than a rude table built
against one of the log walls,
three supply boxes that had evil
IDENTIFY been employed as stools,
and a cracked and ruts-eaten
sheet-iron stove that had from all
appearances long passed into dis
use. He motioned the French
man to a seat at one end of the
table. Without a word he then
went outside, securely toggled the
leading dog, and returning, closed
the door and seated himself at
the end of the table opposite Jean.
The light from the open window
fell full on Croisset's dark face
and shOne in silvery streak
along the top of Howland's re-
volver as the muZzle of it rested
casually on a line with the 9TH
er's breast. There was a menac-
ing click as the engineer drew
back the hammer.
Now, my dear Jean, we're
ready to begin the real game"
explained. Here we are, high
and dry, and down there-just
far enough away to be out of hear
ing of this revolver when | shoot
are those we're going to play
against. So far I've been COM
pletely in the dark. / know of no
reason why l shouldn't go down
there openly and be welcomed
and given a good supper. And yet
at the same time | know that my
life wouldn't be worth a tinker's
damn if | did go down. You can
clear up the whole business, and
that's what you're going to do.
When l understand why | am
scheduled to be murdered on
sight | won't be handicapped as |
now am. So go ahead and spiel.
If you don't, I'll blow your head
off"
Jean sat unflinching, his lips
drawn tightly, his head set square
and defiant.
you may shoot, Mseur," he
said quietly. Il have sworn on
a cross of the Virgin to tell you
no more than | have. You could
not torture me into revealing what
you ask"
: Slowly Rowland raised his re-
volver.
"Once more, Croisset-will you
tell me?"
Non, M'seur-"
A deafening explosion filled
the little cabin. From the lobe
of Jeans ear there ran a red
trickle of blood. His face had
gone deathly pale. But even as
the bullet had stung him within
an inch of his brain he had not
flinehed.
will you tell me, Croisett?"
This time the black pit of the
engineers revolver conferred
squarely between the Frenchman's
eyes.
mon, Mseur."
The eyes of the two men met
over the blue steel. With a cry
Rowland slowly lowered his
weapon.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-11-04

Good God, but you're a brave
man, Jean Croisset!" he cried.
I'D sooner kill dozen men that I
know than you!"
He rose to his feet and went to
the door. There was still but lit
tie snow in the air. To the north
the horizon was growing black
with the early approach of the
northern night. With a nervous
laugh he returned to Jean.
deuce take it if l don't feel
like apologizing to YOU" he ex-
claimed. Does your ear hurt?"
mo more than if l had scratch
ed it with a thorn" returned Jean
politely. you are good with the
pistol, M'seur."
Il would not profit by killing
you-just now" unused Rowland,
seating himself again on the box
and resting his chin in the palm
of his hand as he looked across at
the other. But that's a pretty
good intimation that I'm desper-
ate and mean business, Croisset.
We won't quarrel about the
things I've asked you. What
I'm here for is to see Meleese. Now
how is that to happen?"
For the life of me l don't
know" replied Jean, as calmly as
though a bullet had not nipped
the edge of his ear a moment be-
fore. There is only one way l
can see, M'seur. and that is to
wait and watch from this noun
tain top until Meleese drives out
her dogs. She has her own team,
and in ordinary seasons frequently
goes out alone or with one of the
women at the post. Mon Dieu,
she has had enough sledge-riding
of late, and / doubt if she will
find pleasure in her dogs for a
long time"

of crime in importing the wo-
man in San Francisco and could

conviction for being white

George Fishburne, a little 1876
pound Tacoma lawyer, knocked
out Uncle Sam and the whole
machinery of the department of
justice and freed Philip Lavoie, a
white-slaver, in federal court this
morning.
And Fishburne does not get a
cent for his big job at that.
He was appointed by the court
to defend Lavoie, who was charg-
ed with importing Louisa Brevetz
for immoral purposes and with
maintaining her as a dissolute
character in Seattle. Uncle Sam
does not pay lawyers anything
when he appoints them to defend
criminals that have no money.
Fishburne got interested in the
case, however, and put some new
law up to the court.
Lavoie was proven guilty of
bringing the woman into San
Francisco and it was settled that
he had harbored with her. Fish
burne held if prosecuted for that
it must be in San Francisco, not
here.
Instructs Jury to Acquit
He hammered on this thing
until Judge Donworth came over,
and at IL O'Clock this morning,
after the case had been on trial
all afternoon yesterday and this
morning. the court instructed the
jury to acquit.
And then as Levoie got up to
go and shook hands with Fish
burne, the district attorney had
him nabbed again.

Big Consignment on HiIonian
Latest Move of the
Lanai Ranch.

Seventy brood mares are aboard the
Matson steamship Hyades, due here
on Saturday from Seattle. They
will be sent over to Lanai Island, to-
gether with two jacks, which are also
coming on the same vessel. The Lanai
Ranch Company proposes to get into
the mule breeding business, realizing
that the supply obtainable from the
mainland is not always satisfactory.
Mules sell here for about $500, for
those weighing from 1900 to 140o
pounds.
The ranch company has already
stocked its grazing lands with lot of
fine cattle, some imported from the
mainland and others bronoht over from

GRAND JURY HOLDS
UP LAND BOARD
One Commissioner Was Under
Fire and Another Is One Of
the Inquisitors.

On account of the fact that one of
the commissioners was before the grand
jury being investigated in connection
with his alleged embezzlement of pub
lie funds and another commissioner was
a member of that same grand jury that
was investigating the first mentioned
commissioner, there was no meeting OF
the land board yesterday afternoon.
Commissioners Trent and Brown were
on hand, as was also Land Commits
sIoner Marston Campbell The latter
stated that Judge Andrade had tele-
phoned up that Sam Dwight, being i
member of the grand jury, was very
busy and would be unable TO be pres
ent.
There being no quorum present. the
board adjourned until three clock
next Tuesday afternoon.
Although the discussion of the Kappa
matter has not been finished, It is not
probable that any action will be taken
for about two months. The members
in town are not willing to take all the
responsibility, and prefer to wait until
". A. Kinney and Alfred Carter return.

that they are up in the air and do not
know what action they ought to take
in regard to the leasing of the Kappa
lands

PATTERSON HAS
BEEN EXONERATED
Federal Grand Jury Find That
Maui Man Did Not
Commit Forgery.

James Patterson, assistant postmaster
Of the Hamakuapoko postoffice, who was
charged with forgery of check issued
by Marshal Hendry. has been exonerat-
ed by the federal grand jury. Although
the grand jury has as yet made no re-
port. it is learned that Patterson s case
has been thoroughly investigated and
no bill has been found against him.
Patterson was accused of having
fraudulentlv cashed a check for $3.50.
issued by Marshal Hendry in favor of
Joe Garcia. The check, it appears, was
sent to the wrong Joe Garcia, and he,
being unable to read English and ex-
pecting some money from another
source. thought it was all right AMI
took it to Patterson to be cashed. Pat
terson cashed it, but later Garcia
learned that it was not intended for
him ard returned the money to Patter-
son. Patterson put the money in the
safe, intending to return it to Hendrv,
but he received a letter from the mar
shall explaining the mistake that had
been made and telling for whom the
check was originally intended. So he
forwarded the money to Joe Garcia of
Waialua, thinking this the proper pro
cedure.
1t didn't appear so to the federal au-
thorities. however. and Patterson was
arrested on charge Of forge0. rs
explanation has satisfied the grand jury
however, and the charge against him
viii be dismissed
Patterson S employers, the Baldwins
were convinced OF his innocence and re
tanned him in his position at the planta
fi0n store
