No matter If il did not snow ana
blow, the Eagles entertainment III

plete success and pleasure reigned as
supreme as though old Boreas was
not on rampage and the copper couh-
try in the grip of n genuine OLD
fashioned snow storm. The HuDbell
contingent on a special train was two
hours late i'm arriving. but they got
here nevertheless and with their band
entered INTO the spirit of the occasion
and helped to make things hum. the
program was given as planned, Judge
BENTLEY making a most pleasing al
dress on the subject of "Fraternalism
while ED Gun as chairman Jack Dunn
of Calumet, Dick HoslIing and others
gave brief talks, and several musical
numbers added to the pleasure OF the
evening. Dancing was then In order
and continued uninterrupted until the
early morning hours, except when
dancers temporarily left the dancing
floor and betook themselves to the dim
ing room, where an excellent supper
was served. The attendance of Eagles
and their families was large, and the
event will linger long i'm the mem-
cries of those present as one of the
most delightful ever held under the
auspices of the aerie.

but now that he more calmly con-
sidered the matter he dismissed that
thought. Another idea fixed itself in
his brain. which would cause him TO
govern his actions accordingly in the
face of the danger that he wisely ac-
knowledged to himself to be vitality
alarming. At any cost he must prevent
Doyle from turning Rose Lane and her
father against him. They had trusted
him-they alone-in the first instance,
and so it would be wit against wit TO
defeat Doyle and. If need be, life

Justice c. O. olivier. by a jury en-

consisted OF George w. Taylor, John

They returned a verdict To- the effect
that Glare came 10 his death from be-
ing crushed I'm a cave-in of frozen
earth while digging "A ditch at the
electric pumping station of the city of
Hancock.
The death Of Clare was brought
about i'm a rather peculiar manner.
Glare, who was a bricklayer by trade,
was assisting i'm the excavation of a
trench To be used in connecting up the
new electric pump. The ditch Is about
six feet deep, and Clare was standing
in a STOPPING posture prying loose
some earth from the bottom of one
of the side walls, when suddenly the
ditch collapsed, catching Clare about
the body at the waist and above, COW
ering up his face and mouth, so thai
he could not breathe. The accident
was Witnessed by Odilon Perrault, who
was working with him, and the lat
ter shouted loudly for help. His cries
were heard by st. Clair Wilson, whose

ing there was fire, turned in an alarm

team FASTENED To the scene and the
iremen assisted in the task of eXtri-

five minutes before the body was re-
leased from the ton or more Of hard
earth that held Il fast and by that
time life was extinct. There were no
bones broken and death was undoubt-
eddy caused by suffocation. The re-
mains were taken to O'Neill's under

The deceased was well known in
Hancock, being president of the local

CHAPTER NJ.

YNIMY VALENTINE entered his
private office from the room
~ where the new vault had been

standing close to his desk, where Bob

that went with his age. The girls
eyes met his, but only for an instant.

his thoughts whrling rapidly through
his brain.
True, at one time he had had serious
thought concerning the beautiful
young woman who had saved him
from Sling Sing, from Warden Handler
and the wardens favorite pastime of
solitaire"
But OF late he had come to realize
that he would be doing her n lasting
wrong. a vital injustice. to permit him
self TO make any serious advances to-
ward her. she had been attracted by
him. She was now even more inter
ested in him. He was observing
enough TO learn this. AS for his own
emotions toward her? He loved her.
That no one would deny who saw him
in her company. He could not con-
ceal it, Even the infantile Bobby had
guessed what he had endeavored TO
make his secret. Yet he had realized
plainly the uncertainty of his position.
At any moment the unexpected might
happen, or. rather. the expected might
happen. and some one would possibly
uncover and reveal phases of his past
that he would be unable to explain.
Such had been the guiding thought of
Jimmy Valentine i'm his social inter
course with the bankers daughter
during his tenure as assistant cashier
in the bank IN Springfield. and now he
saw more clearly than ever the wls
dom OF his course. DOyle-Doyle. the
relentless tracker OF men-had threat

ways an element to be reckoncd with

The Drouoht In India.

The Indian climate Is as stable as
our own has recently become. Only
on rare occasions does the weather
afford a topic OF conversation. But
one OF those rare occasions Is now
with us. The event dominating In
dian rural life is the monsoon, which
IS expected in June and blows TIL
September. Should the monsoon fail
the crops perish and famine IS upon
the people. This summer the rains
have proved deplorably feeble. There
Is still time for the crops TO be saved.
and as heavy clouds are generally re-
ported, the situation is by no means
hopeless. But there is grave cause
for anxiety. A shortage Of rain is re-
