Roscoe had never been able to clear
up his doubt as to Jeanne's identity.
nor to solve the mystery of Cayley's
appearance in the air. The doubt
and the mystery tormented him worse
than any nnh conviction could have
done. When he thought, as he some
umes did. that the cause of all his
terror the thing which kept him
penned up here In the cave and de-
MED him access to more than the fur
i've edges OF the beach. might be just
rather defenseless human couple. a
man and a woman, and the woman
beautiful, young. alluring-when he
thought of all that he would go off
INTO transports of rage, which left
even his gigantic body limp and ex-
nausted. II that were the situation,
ne might have killed the man weeks
ago and taken possession of the
woman.
The thing that kept him sane was,

AS the weeks and months dragged
along. this UNMARRIED routine more than
compensated for the solitude and the

On the day when he made the discovery

OF golden days which Jeanne and
rhilip had been enjoying, he was
again. the very man who. during those
long years OF exile, had dominated
crew and captain of the Walrus and
bent them to his will.
He was returning from the ledge
along the crown of the glacier, when
on the day of this discovery. he found
mat his accustomed path was inter
rupted by new assure In the Ice; II

way In the morning. and was toe
broad to leap across. So he was forced
20 descend by the rougher and more

brighter and brighter, until It almost
seemed they sang:

A sharp sense of his own deln-

resources for SO long. when she had
so few resources to draw upon, in
creased to a sudden alarm for her
safety, when he made out the black
mouth OF the tunnel and saw that
there was no light at the farther end
of it. She couldn't have been waiting
all this time, out In the cold: and yet
his eyes, as he lowered, seeking the
exact spot to alight, certainly made

he dropped close beside 1t. and scram-

he thought she was dead. She
seemed as white and cold as the snow
itself. And yet she was not dead; not

was more than surprise. There was
alarmed urgency in his voice when he

hut and make fast the solid wooden
shutters over the windows. He would
come in and would tell her what II
was all about, in moment.
The girl had hardly finished the
task he had given her, when he came
IN. In his blood-stained hand he was
holding out something for her inspec-
ton.
Conquering a feeling of repugnance.
abe bent over the hand, cast one
glance at the thing 1t contained and
then started up and gazed. wide-eyed,
into his face.
"A bullet!" she said "But-but we
thought that Roscoe wasn't armed

Cayley nodded. But this seems to
be pretty good evidence that he ia.
That's why l sent you into the hut

very well. The idea that forced itself
upon them, in spite OF their attempt to
dlscredit 1t, was that Roscoe's acqui-
sition OF modern, long-range weapon
with ammunition to match did not
date back to the murder of Captain
Fielding, nor to the disappearance Of
the Aurora. but that he had found the

Red cedar is the only wood the
price of which is always quoted by
the pound. The lead pencil is one
of the most common articles in ev-
eryday use that is made practically
of this wood. Since the pencil in
dustry is steadily growing the sup
ply of red cedar is becoming great
ly depleted. Because Of its peculiar
qualities no good substitute for ii
has ever been found, and it is doubt
full if any other wood-using indus
try is so dependent upon a single
species as the lead pencil industry
is dependent upon red cedar. It is
the popular belief that the second
growth never reaches marketable
size.
Cedar is light, strong, durable, re-
sisting beyond any similar wood,
shrinks while drying and does not
shrink afterwards, is almost fire
proof and is a non-conductor of
heat or cold. In attesting the en-
during qualities of cedar shingles,
one might cite, for example, Fort
Humboldt, the little log stronghold
erected at Eureka, Cal, in 1852, by
General (then Lieutenant) Grant.
After the lapse of nearly sixty years
the shingles that cover the little
building are still sound and water
proof and look good for a genera
tion more.

DR.. Harry +. Pinkerton is the sue

northwest chief of the federal bu-

quarters in this city. This was the an
nouncement he made this morning
as he boarded the local for Portland,
where he goes to prepare his person
al effects for removal to this city. The
appointment was made some time in
January, he says, but the sending of
it to him was delayed for some rea-
son.
DIR. Pinkerton has been connected
with this branch of the government
service for several years. When he
first came west he worked in the Of
flee of Dr. Mcclure in this city and
since that time has been in the Port
land office. When DR.. Mcclure was
elected as secretary of the National
Woolgrowers' association at the recent
Portland convention, DR.. Pinkerton
was sent here to take charge of the
headquarters until a successor to the
retiring chief was appointed. At that
time it was generally considered that
DR.. Pinkerton was IN the front rank
of eligibles to the office and his per-
manent retention here comes as no
great surprise.
His territory will comprise the states
OF Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
which makes Pendle,on, because of
its central location, an ideal head

SAND PIT SUIT
AGAIN IN COURT
DECISION THAT LAND
Is MINERAL NOT FINAL
Famous Sand Mine Near UmatilIa
Has Been Bone of Contention for
Years.

When Judge H. ]. Bean decided
that sand was a mineral in the suit
for the ownership or certain sand
pits near Umatilla, he did not put an
end to the troubles of John knight,
Elmer B. Knight, Edward E. Harrow
and f. w. Cline, the holders of the
property under the mining laws of
the United States. for they have be-
come the plaintiffs IN another suit
filed in the court. This is an injunc-
ton sut and by it they seek 10 restrain
the Jones Scott company, a private
corporation of~Walla Walla, from ex-
cavating and removing sand from their
property.
In the complaint It is alleged that
the defendants have unIawfully and
wrongfully remained on the property
of the plaintiffs and have removed
large quantities of the building sands
to the estimated value of $4,000 and
have Furthermore destroyed the de-
mand which the plaintiff had created
for this material, which damage is es-
timated at $4,000.
The court is therefore asked to en-
join the plaintiffs from trespassing on
the eighty-acre tract and from eXca-
waiting or removing thereTom any of
the sand during the pendency of the
suit, and furthermore, the court is
asked to ascertain the extent of the
damage which the plaintiffs have suf-
fered and finally to issue a perpetual
injunction against the plaintiffs.
d. w. Bailey and Lowell & Winter
are attorneys for the plaintiffs.
