CHAPTER XIII.

- wEETwATER'S nights rest had
not benefited him. He had
seemed natural enough all
through the lengthy conference.
but half hour later any one who
knew him well would have seen at a
FIRST glance that his spirits were no
longer at par.
When at 2 o'clock he entered the
clubhouse grounds 1t was without
buoyancy or any of the natural ami
nation with which he usually went
about his work. He wandered down
on the golf links. Taking out his
watch, he satisfied himself that he
had time for an experiment and i'm
mediately started for Cuthbert road.
An hour later he came wandering back
on q different line. He looked soured,
disappointed. When near the building
again he cast his eye over its rear
and cazed long and earnestly at the
window which had been pointed out
to him as the one from which pos
sible light had shone forth that night
There were no trees on this side Of
the house-only vines. But the vines
were bare of leaves and offered no
obstruction to his view. IF there had
been a light in that window any one
leaving this house by the rear would
have seen 1t unless he had been drunk
or fool" muttered Sweetwater. In
contemptuous comment to himself.
Arthur Cumberland's story is~one lie.
I'll take the district attorneys sug-
gestion and return to New York to-
night My works done here"
Yet he hung about the links for a
long time and finally ended by enter
ing the house and taking up his stand
beneath the long narrow window of
the closet overlooking the golf links.
W.:h chin resting on his arms. he
stared out over the sill and sought
from the space before him and from
the intricacies Of his own mind the
hint he lacked to make this present
solution of the case satisfactory to
all his instincts.
What was that he saw in the vines
not on the snow of the ground. but
halfway up in the tangle of small
branches clinging close to the stone OF
the lower story, just beneath this win
dow?
He surely could see-something that
glistened. something that could only
have got there by falling from this
window. Could he reach it? No; he
would have to climb up from below
to do that. Well. that was easy
enough.
With the thought. he at once rushed
from the room. In another minute he
was beneath that window; had climb
ed. pulled, pushed his way up; had
found the little pocket of netted vines
observable from above; had thrust in
his fingers and worked a small object
out; had looked at it, uttered an ex-
clamation curious in its mixture Of

Salt MackereI. Cream Sauce.

Soak over night in lukewarm water,
changing this in the morning for ice
cold. Rub all the salt off and wipe
dry. Grease your gridiron with butter
and rub the fish on both sides with
the same melted. Then broil quickly
over a clear fire, turning with cake
turner, so as not to break it. Lay on
a hot platter, keep warm until sauce
is ready. Heat a small cup of milk to
scalding. Stir into it teaspoon of
cornstarch, wet up with little water.
When this thickens add two table
spoons of butter, pepper, salt and
chopped parsley. Beat an egg light,
pour the sauce gradually over it, put
the mixture again over the fire and
stir one minute, not more. Pour upon
the fish and let stand covered over
hot water or oven till sending to table.

To Launder Wool Cans.

Wash cap in luke warm water with
ivory soap that has been boiled to a
jelly, add a little borax, do not rub
cap, just squeeze with hands, as rub
bling pulls cap out of shape. Rinse in
lukewarm water with a little borax :;
do not hang cap on clothes line; make
a head form as near to the shape of
the cap and the size of the head to
be worn on, as possible. Make firm
by sewing a piece of muslin the shape
of cap. Stuff form with excelsior or
clothes; have form stuffed tight and
evenly; if cap has shrunk, make form
larger than cap; if inclined to stretch
make smaller; put cap on form to dry
in hot place. If above directions
are followed your cap will not look as
if 1t had been laundered, but 1t will
look as if it just came from the store,
and will not be out of shape.

FOR DELICATE BREAD

boiled rice in the double boiler in
milk enough to make a thin mixture,

salt, one egg and flour enough to
make it hold together. Spread on the
pan, having the mixture one-third of
an inch thick. Bake in hot oven. Split

HELPS to Liahten Work.

The well beaten yolk of an egg light
ly brushed over the top of a pie will
make the crust brown and shiny.
Never use the fingers in pinching the
edges of pies, as the heat from the
hands will keep the crust from rising.
A crisp crust on a cake may be
made by adding a spoonful of ice wa
ter to the batter or busting with sugar
lust before putting it into the oven.
Rubbing the surface of the loaves
with melted butter or lard, sailed, will
produce a soft, brown, tender crust
on bread.

A LEGEND OF ROAR
ING CREEK FALLS
Continued From Page One

No wonder they called him Wat
awamat, the Pine Voice.
Evening came; the Council end
ed and descended the hill. Soon
afterwards, a hunting party re-
turned with three Nez Perces they
had captured. The captives were
brought before ICtomi and one
brave said, Ictomi, we found
these on our lands, Strengthening our
deers and birds, only to let them
lie where they fell. They were
destroying our food for sport.
What is to be done with them?"
The Chief was silent for mo-
ment then he said, Put one to the
Wolf Death, another to the stake,
and the other to the whipping
post.
The braves turned and Selling
one, bodily carried him to the
stake where they bound him. The
second they tied to the whipping
post, the third they simply bound
his hands and feet and placed a
guard close by him. After this,
they placed some arrows and tOma-
hawks on fire. When they were
white with heat, they were
taken out and placed on the
flesh of the prisoner at stake. This
was an awful torture, but the
brave never flinched. He only
scorned them, and said sneeringlv,
YOU do not know how to torture,
1t takes a Ncz Perez to do that.
You remember your child, the one
YOU thought most Of, Ictonn. You
wondered what became of her;
well | Will tell YOU. She was out
roaming in the forest when we saw
her and took her prisoner. That
winter, we gave her very little food
and made her 80 barcfootcd i'll the
snow. Every now and then we
would make her go through a fire
twenty feet long. We soon got
tired OF her, 50 we took her ont on
the plains where the snow was
deepest and left her without food
or shelter. - Then, with a terrible
grin, he added, You should have
heard her calling for but he did

THERE is an old Welsh proverb
that saws: What is possible is
easy" but it really seems at times
that its extremely difficult to get
people to view the all absorbing
water question in that light.
Here we have one of the most
beautiful little cities in the great
northwest, with more natural adj
vantages than any other city on the
Pacific coast, supporting a popula-
ton of 500 and capable of sus-
tanning five times that number, and
yet we cannot agree on the essen
tials needed
The Dawn was the first and only
paper in the CITY to advocate mum
icipal water system, and at the
same time suggested the plan of
deep wells near the river, using the
German filtering system as is now
being done in thousands of cities in
this and other countries.
While The Dawn is not in a po-
sition to know. yet it has it on au-
thcrity, that we can, without any
great expense, obtain in deep wells
between the c'ty and the Yakima
river, all that we can wish for.
