THE POMERANIAN RIOT
Continued from page s

Captain and the fire Chief apologized for
the intrusion, were thanked tearfully by
little Miss Dorothy, and retired The cops
outside had recovered two more live Pom
eranians and dead one-ki1led by fire

and the tiger cub completed the list of cas-
ualties. In an hour or SO the crowd outside
had dispersed and the guests had gone home.
Young Mccain found that his two Sis

search trailed along with the investigators.
Upstairs on the drawing room floor half a
hundred sobbing women were hugging and
kissing the right and wrong dogs. Eight
sleeping rooms were being used as hospitals
for ladies whose emotions had passed from
the strained to the breaking point. A score
of servants, their arms full of Pomeranians,
brandy, and smelling salts, were tearing
from room to room administering first aid to
the hysterical. In the center of the dining
room Jack and his young sister were explain
ing as we'll as they could how the horrible
affair had its inception. Mrs. Middleton
had tainted, and two doctors were attending
her in her dressing room.
RUT Miss Dorothy needed no assistance
- She played her part better than WELL
The center of two score admiring eyes, she
gave charmingly breathless account of the
riot, told how the tiger cubs happened in the
basket, mentioned the Mighty Harkins
Show three times in five minutes, and finally
asked the note-taking audience if they would
like to see the Asiatic triumvirate that had
brought about the disaster. Would they?
She led the way through the buffers pam
try, down the servants stairs, and into the
laundry. The police Captain who was di-
rect1y behind heard her scream at the foot
of the staircase and caught her as she was
falling. When the followers reached the
scene they saw on the floor two handsome
tiger cubs chasing each other affectionately
around a clothes basket. In the middle of
the room the third cub lay stretched out
dead. Beside the body, with one tiny paw
over the poor little fellows head, lay Cyrus
Xerxes Ill, blue ribbon about his neck
and smile of absolute joy on his measly
little countenance.

street and telephone. The rest of the re-

two men started to obey. .Hardpan spoke
in the same quiet, commanding voice, as if
answering it.

chances with him or any of his bunch. The
bunkhouse has got just one window, and one
good stout door. I'll put him and his gang

there for just twenty-four hours. That gives
you start enough. You and Frenchy are
goin' down to the county seat to record your
claims. Mine amt so Holloway
said so. Then Frenchy is goin to hunt up
the Sheriff and surrender hisself. Then
you'll go git the Coroner, and like as not you

promoter in fierce expostulation, his voice
indicating that he had regained his nerve.

you've said and done about enough. All
any of us here wants is the slightest excuse
to kill you. 1, for one, am itchin' to do it,"
He had jerked his gun up and covered
Harjes so swiftly that the latter backed
against the logs of the clubhouse; other

and men, he had found place up there in
the tops of the Sierras where he was helpless
as child. He had come to the place where,
the law being distant, and the surroundings
yet primitive, the ready gun was the arbi-
traitor, and he had met men who did not
hesitate to use it. Even as they watched
him he appeared to dwarf in size, to shrivel,
and become weak old man. The last
remnant of fight was taken from him, and he
meekly led the way into the clubhouse. The
heavy bar that fastened it from the outside
dropped into place. The man Hank took
the rifle from Jin's hands, without orders,
and found seat in front of and facing the
window. The Chinese calmly seated him
self on the doorstep in front of the closed
door, with his rifle still nestled in the hollow
of his arm, and Jim stood looking at Frenchy
as if amazed at his GOODNESS

Hardpan's voice. @You and Frenchy go
fast. If you don't, some word might beat
you down by telephone from somewhere.

said. and Hardpan nodded.

little sadly as he said, look down there, will
you? Seems as if most of the men on this
claim proved true"
Jim, sickened by the whole affair, looked
down below, to see the cook standing in
front of the messhouse with Winchester
balanced in his hands. He too had been
ready to fight for the property. They went
quietly, Hardpan's words being the only
ones spoken on the short trip down the hill
side. 1t was as if they were thoughtfully
assembling for some meeting, rather than
walking in deadly tensity that would be
broken by the crash of gunire in case any
one of the men ahead started to run. Jim,
looking Sldewlse at HarJeS, saw that the pro-
moter's skin had turned to sicllly, notified
hue, and that his heavy lips trembled now
and then; but felt no pity. He sustained
an instant's regret that it was not Harjes,
the cause of all the conflict, who was lying
up there on the hillside growing cold in place
Of Bill Ridley.
Hardpan was walking sturdily forward,
close beside the man he had wounded, look
ing neither to right nor left, his white beard
flowing patriarchally over his breast, liv-
ing remnant of the savage frontier over
which he had passed his life. He seemed
instinctively to have slipped to leadership in
this crisis, by right of age and experience.
Frenchy was rolling another cigarette as he
brought up the rear, and never so much as
glanced back up the hill at his handiwork.
As far as. he was concerned, it was merely
the settling of the score that had been so
long threatened, and its finale did not appear
to disturb him in the least. Bill Ridley had
tried to kill him-he had beat him at the
game That was all!
@Stop here!" said Hardpan, hating in

Boston-In the opinion of Edward
Farnham Greene, treasurer of the Pa.
clfc mills, the people of New Nng-
land lost the chance of their lifetime
to better themselves when they failed
to get control of the Boston & Maine.
At the meeting of the New Eng.

Greene declared that New England,
against whom Congress was prejudic.
ed, needed more unity in its political
parties.
Democrats and Republican, should
get together on the tariff" he said.
Congress is strongly pIcjudiced
against New England, and this TACT
alone demands the union of the POI
litical parties here to protect our in
terests. Members of one party are as
much interested in New England as
are those of another.

that they lost golden opportunity.

Bangor, Me.-When steel ship build
ing at Fore River, Mass, Newport
News, Va, and other points on the
Atlantic coast, and notably on the
Great Lakes, has made rapid gains in
the last few years, the wooden ship
building industry of Maine, once -four
ishing, is now little more than a
memory, because there is little de-
mand for that class of tonnage.
The foreign trade that used to en-
ploy so many State of Maine wooden
ships, barks and brigs has been lost
to foreign flags, and the sailing YES
sci has been almost crowded out OF
the coasting trade by steamers and
barges. Time was when the annual
review of shipbuilding operations in
Maine yards occupied columns i'll the
papers, out in 1912 so few vessels OF
any size or class were built that the
whole subject was disposed of in a

the supervision OF William c. Hunt,
chief statistician for population.
Statistics of color, nativity, parent

For the State and counties; for cities
and one town of more than $4,000 in
habitants; for cities and towns of 49,
900 to $4,000; for towns of $500 to

divisions, decennial increase and dens-
