The first impulse of the banker had
been to send the story forth 10 the
world, to harass and eventually cap.
ture his brother; but his FORESIGHT
becoming normal, he realized that
silence was best, even if his brother
escaped. If the depositors heard that
the bank had been entered and a mil.
lion taken from the vaults, there
would naturally follow a terrific run.
When the last bag had been taken
out Of the library and the banker and
the police had gone, the bell rang.
George went to the door. A messen-
ger handed him a small satchel and
a note. There was to be no reply.
The note was from Ryanne. Briefly It
stated that the satchel contained the
emeralds. There had been some diff
fculty in forcing the Major to surren-
der them. But that much was due to
George for his generosity. Later in
the day he-George-might inform his
-Horace's-brother that the coup
hadn't been a total fizzle. They had
already packed away in suit-cases
something like two hundred thousand
dollars In bills Of all denominations
"Tell that dear brother of mine to
charge it to our account. It will be
less than the interest upon a million
in ten years. To you, my boy, add:
Fortune favors the brave!"
George" said Mortimer, you will
not mind IL forage round in the
kitchen? A bottle of beer and a bit
Of cheese would go handy. It's almost
my breakfast time"
'Bless your heart. help YOURSELF"
And George turned to, Fortune.
"Ah," she cried, selling his hands,
you will not think i'll of me?"
"And for what?" astonished.
For not speaking to my mother.
Oh, l just couldn't; l Just couldn't!
When ] thought of all the neglect,
all the indifference, the loneliness,
couldn't! 1t was horribly unnatural
and cruel!"

no more about it" And he put his
two hands against her cheeks and
kissed her, Never shall you be lone
ly again, for l am going to be all
things to you. Poor heart! Just think
that all that has passed has been
only bad dream, and that it's clear
sunshiny morning; eh?" He held her
of a ways and then swept her into
his arms as he had done on board the
ship, roughly and mastery. "And
there's that old rug! Talk about

U A TRIES TO ENLIST,
When Refused She Says She Will Send
Husband, Who "lsn't Much Good"

MissOula. - Shivering with cold, a
squaw, carrying a crying papoose, ap-
peared before the men in charge Of
the local recruiting station, requesting
Corporal Watson to accept her as a
soldier in the United States m
Watson explained that only men were
allowed in the army, but the squaw
didn't understand.
Il can fight she said. There
isn't anybody who a fight better
than l can"
She said this with blazing eyes.
The oma was exhausted and in a
pitiable condition, and her disappoint-
ment when she learned that she was
not eligible to the army caused both
the old army men in the Office to plan
for her comfort.
With a look of gratitude the squaw
thanked the soldiers, promising that,
as soon as she was rejoined by her
husband, she would send him, Ito
fight in the army for you," for" she
continued, che isn't much good any
way, and has never given me enough

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost Of Tuberculosis and Other Pre-.
ventabIe Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find a method for
reducing the cost of life insurance,
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
versity of Michigan demonstrates that
every policyholder Of a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $50 a year on his premiums II
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder OF from
$3.50 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age Of twenty. with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation Of life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of
Tuberculosis says that the combined
effort Of every man, woman and child
Is necessary to bring about a radical
reduction in life insurance rates such
as Professor Glover has indicated.

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause Of designation. physical be-
cause Of pain. Think Of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings. so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life. are often only a matter of a little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor c~omplexions, red, rough hands,
and dry. thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it Is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. l., Bos-
ton. will secure a liberal sample of
each. with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

in Montana and North Dakota.

Butte, Mont.-The recent official an
rouncement by the Great Northern
Railway company of its intention to
construct an alternate t~ranscontinen.
tai line through Montana and North
Dakota is of immense interest to this
state as the new line will tap a coun.

al delays and traffic tie-up in the
spring and snow blockades during the
winter months.
Great Northern will run southeasterly
as far as Lewiston, Mont, connecting
with a spur recently constructed from
that city to Moccasin. From Mecca.
sin, the new line will go over the line
of the Billings and Northern, a Hill
road, to Great Falls, switching west
over a line to be built to Augusta.
The survey then takes the road
through the Flathead country, bear

Great Falls-Butte branch of the Great
Northern.
Two years ago, speaking at the state
fair at Helena, James J. Hill outlined
the plans of the Great Northern COM
pany for a second line to the coast,
which will very appreciably shorten
the distance from St. Paul to Seattle
and give impetus to the settlement Of

Of a kind which will permit of profit

pared with the hypotenuse of an OBJ

near Minot the new line will run
parallel to the old line and south of
it to Mondak, N. D., on the border line
of North Dakota and Montana.
