Last week we were called to Andu-
bon as o witness at court We had a
good time visiting old friends and for
mer neighbors and reviewing old ac-
quaintances, Judge Rockefeller of
Atlantic, the newly appointed district
Judge, was holding his first term of
court at that place. Gov Clark made
no mistake in his appointment. The
judge is very fair, courteous, and
prompt in all his rulings. OF course
we visited with our friend s.Hoogy' of
the Republican, While at the Office
they were very busy, just going to
press, but the editor stopped long
enough to tell us about that wonderful
little lady that had come to cheer their
future life. Mr.. Hoogenakker seems
about as usual excepting he has more
of diglified manner since baby came.
This will wear off after he becomes
floor walker In our talks with the
people over there we learned that Mr..
Hoogenakker is getting out a good
paper, and he is we'll liked by all who
know him. He specially requested us
to give his best wishes to all Guthrie

agely.
There was something else to do be-
sides dream. Because the girl had
spoken pleasantly was no reason why
he should act the fool. Angry at him
self, he gripped his faculties, and
faced the situation, aroused, intent.
He must save himself-and her! But
how? What plan promised any pos
sibility of success? He had their sur
roundings in a map before his eyes.
His training had taught him to note
and remember what others would as
naturally neglect He was a soldier
of experience, a plainsman by long
training, and even In the f1erceness OF
the Indians attack on the stage his
quick glance had completely visual
lied their surroundings. He had not
appreciated this at the time, but now
the topography of the immediate re-
gion was unrolled before him in de-
tail; yard by yard it reappeared as
though photographed. He saw the
widely rutted trail, rounding the bluff
at the right hundred yards away,
curving sharply. down the slope and
then disappearing over the low hill to
the left, slight stream trickling
along it's base. Below, the short buf-
falo-grass, sunburned and brittle, ran
to the sandy edge of the river, which
flowed silently in broad, shallow,
yellow flood beneath the star CLEAN.

excitement. Now you and l must
decide what to do next-we are all
alone"
Alone! Has Mr.. Moylan been hit
also?"
YES" he answered, feeling it was
better to tell her frankly. HE was
shot, and is beyond our help. But
come" and he reached over and took
her hand, you must not give up now"
She offered no resistance, but sat
motionless, her face turned away.
Yet she knew she trembled from head
to foot, the reaction mastering her. A
red tongue of flame seemed to slit the
outside blackness; there was single
sharp report, echoing back from the
bluff, but no sound of the striking bull
let. Just an instant he caught a
glimpse of her face, as she drew back,
startled
"Oh, they are coming again! What
shall we do?"
NO." he insisted, still retaining her
hand, confident In his judgment.
Those fellows will not attempt to
rush us again tonight. You must
keep cool, for we shall need all our
wits to get away. An Indian never
risks a night assault, unless 1t is a
surprise. He wants to see what he is
up against. Those bucks have got all
they want of this outfit; they have
no reason to suppose any of us we're
hit. They are as much afraid as we
are, but when 1t gets daylight, and
they can see the shape we're in, then
they'll come yelling"
But they can lie out there in the
dark and shoot" she protested. THAT
shot was aimed at us, wasn't it?"
II reckon 1t was, but it never got
here. Don't let that worry you; if an
Indian ever hits anything with a gun
it's going to be by pure accident" He
stared out OF the window. They're
liable TO bang away occasionally, and
| suppose 1t is up to us to make some
response just to tell them we're
awake and ready. But they amt fir
ing expecting to do damage-only to
attract attention while they haul off
their dead. There's a red snake yon-

clutched the window-casing. An in

cleaned the solitary Indian fire.
About it's embers, no doubt, squatted
the chiefs and older warriors, feast
ing and taking council, while the
younger bucks lay, rifles in hand,
along the night-enshrouded slope,
their cruel, vengeful eyes seeking to
distinguish the outlines of the coach
against the black curtain of the bluff.
This had proven thus far their sal
vation-that steep uplift Of earth
against which the stage had crashed
in it's mad dash-for its precipitant
front had compelled the savages to at
tack from one direction only, a slight
overhang, not unlike roof, making it
impossible even to shoot down from
above But this same sharp incline
was not likewise a preventive of es-
cape. Hamlin shook his head as he
recalled to mind it's steep ascent,
without root or shrub to cling to. No,
it would nevar do to attempt that; not
with her. Perhaps alone he might
scramble up somehow, but with her
the feat would be impossible. He dis
missed this as hopeless, his memory
of their surroundings drifting from
point to point aimlessly. He saw the
whole barren vista as it last stood re-
vealed under the glow Of the sun-the
desolate plateau above, stretching
away into the dim north, the brown
level of the plains, broken only by
sharp fissures in the surface, treeless,
extending for unnumbered leagues. To
east and west the valley, now scarcely
more green than those upper plains,
bounded by its verdureless bluffs, ran
crookedly, following the river course,

extended miles of white sand-dunes.

Mercv of Aviators.

Robert G. Fowler, an aviator, says
that while he was flying across the
Isthmus of Panama he found it would
be easy for an aeroplanist to blow up
the Gatun dam.
There is absolutely no protection"
he said 81 think the government has
overlooked this.
ANY good aviator, flying first-class
machine, could carry enough nitro
glycerin or other high explosive, to
blow such hole in the dam that it
would leave the whole canal useless. l

not fear to attempt it at any time"

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-

them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good.
when Postum is properly made and
used instead. A girl writes:
Mother had been suffering with
nervous headaches for seven weary
years, but kept on drinking coffee.
"One day l asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly ner
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish, / asked
for a taste.
"That started me on Postum and

There is no use denying we are IN a

CHAPTER VII.
Plans for Escape.

Desperate as he certainly felt their
Hamlin was unable to cast aside the
influence of the girl, or concentrate
his thoughts on some plan for escape.
1t may have been the gentle pressure
of her hand upon his sleeve, but her
voice continued to ring in his ears He
had never been woman's man, nor
was he specially interested in this
woman beside him. He had seen her
fairly, with his first appreciative
glance, when he had climbed into the
stage on the preceding day. He had
realized there fully the charm of her
face, the dark roguish eyes, the clear
skin, the wealth of dark hair. Yet
all this was impersonal; however
pretty she might be, the fact was
nothing to him and never could be.
Knowing who she was, he compre-
hended instantly the social gulf
stretching unbridged between them.
An educated man himself, with family
connections he had long ago ceased
to discuss, he realized his present
position more keenly than he other
wise might. He had enlisted in the
army with no misunderstanding as to
what a private's uniform meant He
had never heretofore supposed he re-
gretted any loss in this respect, his
nature apparently satisfied with the
excitement of active frontier service,
yet he vaguely knew there had been
times when he longed for companion
ship with women of the class to
which he had once belonged. For
little temptation in this respect, and
he had grown to believe that he had
actually forgotten. That afternoon
even-sweetly fair as Miss Mcdonald
undoubtedly appeared-he had looked
upon her without the throb of a pulse,
as he might upon picture. She was
not for him even to admire-she was
Major McDonald's daughter, whom he
had been sent to guard. That was all
then
Yet he knew that somehow it was
different now-the personal element
had entered unwelcomed, into the
equation. Sitting there in the dark,
Gonzales body crumpled on the floor
at his feet, and Moylan lying stiff and
cold along the back seat, with this
girl grasping his sleeve in trust, she
remained no longer merely the Ma
jors daughter-she had become her
self. And she did not seem to care
and did not seem to realize that there
were barriers Of rank, which under
other circumstances must so utterly
separate them. She liked him, and
frankly told him so, not as she would
dismiss an inferior with kindness,
but as though he was an equal. as
though he was gentleman. Some
how the very tone of her voice, the
cIinging touch of her hand, sent the
blood pumping through his veins.
Something besides duty inspired
him; he was no longer merely sol
der, but had suddenly become trans
formed into a man. Years of repres-
sion, of iron discipline, were blotted
out, and he became even as his birth
right made him. Molly Mcdonald" >"
Molly Mcdonald" he whispered the
name unconsciously to himself Then
his eyes caught the distant flicker of

The fly has an effective enemy other
than the hand that wields the swatter.
This is the parasitic fungus known
as the Empusa muscae. This fungus
is a deadly enemy of the house fly
and it must destroy myriads of these
pernicious insects, especially in the
fall. The flies may often be seen in
a dead or dying condition on walls,
ceilings and window panes, surround
ed by a quantity of white powder
l. e., the spores of the fungus which
have fallen from the insects body.
These spores are capable of injecting
other flies which may come in con.
tact with them. Whether the flies
actually eat the spores, or merely get
them attached to their bodies, appar
emily is not known.
