Noble Sacrifice Of lara, the

The woman who had assumed the
position of dresser and general at
tendant upon Mile. lara. the elec-
trical dancer and drawing card at the
Varieties. was finding mademoiselle
Unexpectedly difficult. The unexpect-
edness OF It was what made the wo-
man wonder. She had been a green
room employee long enough to expect
tantrums.
But Mile lara was not, or, at least,
had not been, at all like any other star.
How was the attendant to know
that In the middle of her performance
the dancers eyes had suddenly en-
countered another pair Of eyes that
had almost deprived her 1.-THE limbs
of the capacity to continue moving?
The eyes were set in dark, clean
cut face, which she had up to that
moment thought Of as in Brazil. They
burned with first amazement, then in
dignant resentment, finally disgust Of

Their Food From the Sand.
Curious little crabs, mostly about
the size of a pea. are found in abun-
dance on the shores Of the Malay
peninsula. They are usually first per-
ceived on the beaches after the going
down of the tide, when they give the
beach the appearance Of being covered
with loose, powdery sand and holes
Of various sizes. Upon looking more
closely it is perceived that little radi-
ating paths converge among the Hitter
of sand to each hole and that the sand
itself is in minute balls.

Immediately becomes apparent q pc

main perfectly motionless they will In

to explain how the boy could have un.
screwed the cap and spilled the kero:
sene over him. 1t can be easily seen
how if his lantern went out and he en-
deavored to light it again, he could
easily set himself on fire if his clothes
were saturated with kerosene, but how
to explain such saturation is indeed
difficult.
These and many other problems arise
in trying to arrive at a solution Of this
remarkable case. Another theory
which is meeting with considerable ap:
proval is that the burning was in fact
done by two such men as the boy de:
scribed "yeggmen, drunk and with
their bestial natures inflamed. 1t is urg-
ed that the boy may have been assaults
ed and that the oil was then poured
over him and set on fire. To support
this theory, which is in fact the one
that comedies with the boys states
mcnt, is the statement of Nick johns
son, an Aneta storekceper, WHO test1-
fes positively that on the evening Of
July l6, he saw two men about medium
height and rather stoutly built in his
store. These men correspond with the
description given by the boy in his
statement.
The three theories then advanced by
the burning of Kennith Mckenzie are,
! first, that it was an accident, second
that it was the work of yeggmen, and
third, that it was the prank of Summer
field and Sperry Each of these theor-
les has its supporters, and which Of
them is in fact correct will probably
never be solved, for the lips of the one
human being who could clear up the
mystery are now closed forever.

FUTURE SPORTS.

With the conclusion of the baseball
season in Devils Lake the sporting ac
tivity may be rather dead for while,
although a team that will represent
the city in what additional games there
might be played will be made up from
among the home players. Several
wrestling matches are being arranged
for Devils Lake and some stellar at
fractions will be brought here in this
line to keep the sporting fraternity in
action until the football season sets
in, when the high school boys hope to
put championship aggregation in
the field with a professional coach on
! the job. Devils Lake has been adver-
tised far and wide as result of its
expert athletic teams and nothing will
be ,eft mdone to keep up the record
established by the ball team this year.
