does 1t for us. There Is n thing,
though" he added thoughtfully after
a little silence, "one thing that l must
do at once, and that Is to destroy
these sheds where they kept their
stores. They would furnish a cover
as good a cover as any enemy could
ask for. They hinder u view up the

How long do youlsuppose it will

a little. How long car it last? How
long can we live like that, even sup
posing that our watch is effective and
that they aren't able to surprise u.s."
She clasped her hands, with a shud-
der, and gripped them between her
knees. "Oh, II 1t would only happen
soon.' she went on, whatever 1t Isl"
What l don't understand" said
Cayley, lis why they haven't attacked

didn't they attack us yesterday morn

Surely" said Jeanne, "he couldn't
have hoped for a better opportunity to
attack me than he had when | al
alone there in the twilight, before you
came flying down out of the sky; and
you said he was quite near. Why do
you suppose he didn't? Why do you
suppose he waited?"

and muscles taut for his rush.
Then, just then, he saw the thing
that made Jeanne close her eyes, the
flashing sword-cut Of that great gold
en- wing, as the thing it bore turned
upon the other.
Roscoe dropped down, as If he had
been blasted by the sight of a sword
ed archangel, In the shelter of his
rock. He lay there, prone, hugging
his head in his arms. He did not
rouse himself, did not succeed in fore
ing his treacherous nerve and mus
cles to obey his will until it was quite
dark. Then, without a glance behind
him, he arose and began scrambling
madly up the broken face of the talus,
and, reaching the top Of 1t, went on
and scaled the cliff itself. 1t was a
feat which even he could hardly have
accomplished except under the ex-
tremity of terror.
For only so long as was necessary
to regain his breath, he lay painting
upon the cliff-head. In the dark. rush
ing along as If the %precipitous trail he
followed had been a well-worn thor

the landward side of the mountain
and across the valley. He did not
pause until he found himself safe in
the cave again beside the glacier.

HOW OLD PEOPLE
May Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually thar
in youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per
son N this vicinity that Vinol, our De
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out OLD will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving ne"
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only a
fzed how vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand.
Try a bottle Of vinol with the un

Wood and Manahan in HOspi-
tai, Likely to Recover.
SIayer's BOndsmen Take Pos
session of His Stock.

Belle Plaine, Kan, Aug z2.-AI-
though great excitement still prevails
in and around Belle Plaine, because
of the ghastly murder and attempted
suicide of the slayer, practically
nothing new developed in the tragic
story.
Sam Wood, the murderer and at
tempted suicide, is in the hospltal at
Wellington and in a fair way to re-
cover. despite the three bullet wounds
in his left lung. Another hemorrhage
developed, but since that time he has
been resting easily and physicians say
that pneumonia is the chief thing 10
be feared.
Matt Manahan is also reported as
likely to recover His condition to-
day. despite added soreness from
wounds, was decidedly improved and
physicians say he will probably recov-
er unless unforeseen complications
set in
When Sam Wood was bound over
to the September term of the federal
court last spring on $1,000 bonds on
a charge of writing obscene letters TO
young women and sending them
through the mails, his bond was fur
nfshed by parties at Oxford, Kan.
THESE narties have taken possession of
about 20 head of good horses Wood
has on the large farm he had leased
north of Belle Plaine. On this farm
are 24O acres of fine corn, which, 1t
is estimated, is worth over $4,000 at
the present time.

ADD DRY EXPERT
*. s. A. G.. Will Send Adviser to
Western Kansas.
Q. s. Department of Agrieul-
ture Will Help Pay Bills.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 22.-An expert
who will give his entire time to field
advisory work in dry farming will be
added to the staff of farm missionaries
of the Kansas Agricultural college
within a few weeks. He will be a
commemorative of the Agricultural col
lege and the United States department
of agriculture, though he will be un-
der the direction of the extension de-
partment of the college.
The work of the dry farming expert
will be confined to about 25 counties
in the western part of the state He
will also advise on problems relating
to farm management on dry land
farms. Part OF his salary and a part
of his expenses will be paid by the
department of agriculture. The agri-
cultural college will pay the rest. Mr..
Miller hopes to get a man for this work
within the next ten days
1T also is very proba BILE that the
government will cooperate with the
Agricultural college in paying the ex-
penses of several county advisors in
Kansas" Mr.. Miller said. I'VE had a
conference on that subject and I
think 1t quite likely that we can get
some advisors in this way, particular
" for the western counties. The de-
partment of agriculture, as well as
the college, sees a field for work in
western Kansas.

AMERICANS SLAIN
Two Were Caught in the Mas

Rebels Killed All the Garrison
but Three or Four.
By John t. McCutcheon.

Washington, Aug. 22-Two Americans
are reported to have been deliberately
murdered in the massacre of the Mic
aragua loyal troops by the rebels at
Leon on August 19. One was said to
be Harvey Dodd of Kosciusko, Miss,
the other a man named Phillips. The
two men had been founded and were
seeking refuge in a hospital, according
to the report received today at the state
department.

troops.
The killing of Dodd and Phillips,
though not entirely a parallel, recalls
the killing of Cannon and Groce by
Zelaya in 1899 which resulted in an up
heaval that threw the dictator out of
office and sent him to European exile
The state department is pressing for
more information. A delayed dispatch
from Corinto today says the rebels are
taking towns between Leon and Chi
nandaga. They are reported to have
conf1scated a large plantation and
distillery containing $5,000,000 worth of
alcohol.
With the arrival of additional United
States forces in Nicaragua Rear Ad-
miral Sutherland on the cruiser Cali
fornia will take full command
The massacre of the loyal Nicaragua
troops sent to defend Leon is fully
confirmed in the following belated ca
blegram received today:

BECKER is NOT READY
Declines to Plead When Arraigned for
Rosenthal Murder.

New York, Aug. 22.-Police Lieuten-
ant Charles Becker and four of his
alleged underworld accomplices were
arraigned in the court of general ses-
sions today to plead to an Indictment
charging them with the murder of the
gambler, Herman Rosenthal. Counsel
for Becker said that he was not ready
to plead today and the court set next
Tuesday for the pleading. The other
four prisoners all pleaded not guilty:
with permission to withdraw or change
the plea by Tuesday.
The court room was packed to suf-
location when the prisoners entered.
Becker lowered above the others like
a giant. The first case called was that
of Becker, As the clerk read the in
dictrnent charging murder in the first
degree, John Mcintyre, Becker's coun-
sci, announced that he was prepared
to plead to tn indictment which the
grand jury handed up some weeks ago
But that Indictment has been super
seded by the present one,' said Judge
Mulqueen.
Then we refuse to plead said Mr..
Mcintyre. He then asked for a post
ponement and Tuesday, August 27, was
the date set.
The case of Whitley Lewis, was
quickly disposed of by his plea of not
guilty and was followed by similar
pleas from 'Dago Frank Jack Sui
Hvan and william Shapiro. chauffeur
of the socalled murder car
Court then adjourned
The COroner's Inquest.
The five men arraigned today includ-
ed all the prisoners so far arrested
in the Rosenthal case, but not all those
indicted. "Gyp the Blood and Lefty
Louie the two remaining gunmen in
volved in the shooting have not been
captured, although they have been in
dicted.
The arraignment of Becker was pre-
ceded by the coroner's inquest which
had been adjourned. Daniel Frohman
was foreman of the jury which after
hearing the evidence returned a YER
dict that Rosenthal had come to his
death by means of a bullet wound
in the brain caused by some person
or persons unknown"
The Jury recommended that Louis
Libby, part owner of the gray car be
discharged from custody. This will
be done.
The inquest was brief and was confin-
ed merely to determing the cause of
Rosenthars death.
Policeman w. J. Files, when CRITICS.
ed for his failure to capture the assas-
sins, testified that he was dining in
the Metropole at the time, and when
he heard the shots he pulled his gun
and ran out on the sidewalk. He and
other officers jumped into taxicah
and gave pursuit to an automobile go
ing east This automobile he learned
later, was not the one in which the
assassinS escaped.
The policemans most interesting bit
of testimony was a statement that he
had seen Bridgie Webber in the Ne
tropole shortly before the shooting
and had seen him again in front of
the Metropole hotel when Rosenthal
was dead District Attorney Whitman
gave out the information that he had
unearthed six more bank accounts of
Police Lieutenant Becker, showing De
posits of about $12,5 500.
The prosecutor has now located sums
of money aggregating $125, 600 held on
deposit in several banks by the accused
police officer.

Longren, the Topeka aviator, after
three unsuccessful attempts to make
flights at the Higginsville fair
grounds, crashed into a fence, was
tumbled into a corn field and his ma
chine wrecked. A new propeller on
the machine seemed to be working
poorly and it was with difficulty the
aviator left the ground. After flying
about 60 feet he made a rapid descent
and struck a woven wire fence sur
rounding a corn field
Fortunately he fell clear of the
machine and owing to the soft con-
dition of the wet, plowed earth, ne
was uninjured. The machine was
smashed and the engine buried in the
mud Longren said the accident was
due to the fact that the new propeller
which he had just attached to the
machine had proven Inadequate. The
machine was owned by Phil Billiard,
Longren's machine being temporarily
disabled. He had borrowed the Bill
