CHAPTER III.
In Which a Dog Trespasses,


Ia 1ENELOPE was a perverse and
III calculating young person. She
was her own mistress ard
~ privileged to ride as often as
she pleased, but it seemed rather odd
although splendidly decorous-that she
did not venture upon Mr.. Shaws es-
tate for more than a week after her
first encounter with the feudal baron.
II she found peculiarly feminine sat-
1sfaction in specializing on his disap-
po1ntment, 1t is not to be wondered at.
Womanly insight told her that Ran
dolph Shaw rode forth each day and
watched with hawklike vigilance for
the promised trespasser. In her tmag-
ination she could almost hear him
curse the luck that was helping her to
evade the patrol.
one morning after rain she rode
with the duke to the spot where Shaw
had drawn his line in the road. She
felt a thrill Of something she could not
define on discovering that the wet soil
IN the opposite side of the line was
d1stlgured by mass of fresh hoof
prints. She rejoiced to find that his
vigil was incessant and worthy Of the
respect it imposed. The desire to visit
the haunted house was growing more
! and more Irresistible. but she turned
1t aside with all the relentless per-
! verseness Of a woman who feels it
| worth while to procrastinate.
| Truth to tell, Randolph Shaw was 20.
Ing hollow eyed and faint in his
ceaseless, racking watch for trespass-
ers.
Penelope laughed aloud as she gazed
upon the tangle Of hoof prints. The
duke looked as surprised as it was
possible for him to look after the wear
Of the past night.
"Hang it all, Penelope" he said. IL
didn't say anything, don't you know"
II was just thinking" she said hasti.
~, what fun it would be for us to ex.
! plore the haunted house."
"Oh, say, Pen, that's going out of
the way for little fun, isn't It? MY
word, it's filthy old house with rats
and mice and all that-no place for a
ghost, much less nice little human
being like you. They're all like that"
II think you are afraid to co." said
she.
| Afraid of ghosts? Pshawp' shifted
the duke, sticking out his chest.
Yes, Shaw; that's whom you're
| afraid Of"
Now, see here, Pen, you shouldn't
say that. shaw's a d., a cad. See
what Cecil did to him. Remember
\ that? Well. pooh! What would l do

INDIANSRUNA NAWAYfROM SCHOOL
Wander Into Fremont County While
Attempting to Reach ChaIlis.

Half starved and almost dead from
exposure two little Indian boys, Civ
ing the name Tindoy, who wandered
away from the Fort Hall Indian
school, were taken into custody yes
terday by farmers living in the vicin-
lty OF Howe, Fremont county. 1t is
supposed that the little fellows, who
are Lemhi Indians, were attempting
to walk across the country to their
homes on the reservation above Chal-
lis. They were poorly clothed. when
discovered by the farmers, and, ac-
cording to reports reaching BIackfoot
when they saw the white men ran into
the cedars, with fear almost equal
ling that of wild animals. A third
boy, who is supposed to have left the
school with the Tindoy boys, has not
been located, One of the Tindoy boys
is eight years of age and the other
about ten, it is stated.
Yesterday afternoon w. H. Bartell
of Howe, telephoned to Sheriff Jones,
stating that the boys had been given
shelter by the farmers of that neigh
borhood. He asked that the Bingham
county officers notify the officials at
the school. This was done during the
afternoon and an investigation there
revealed the fact that three boys were
missing.
The boys are grand children Of Old
Chief Tindoy of the Lemhi tribe
Blackfoot Courier.

BURGLARS IN RUPERT
This Time Their Operations Are Con.
fined to Meat Market.

Burglars were abroad in Rupert last
Monday night and from appearances
the same parties visited Acequai The
Rosecrans Meat Market was entered
and the cash register tapped for be-
tween five and ten dollars. Mr.. Rose
Grams does not know the exact
amount. Entrance was attempted at
the back door, but after prying off a
part of the door casing the burglars
decided that was too much of a Job
and went to the window on the south
side of the building next to the First
National bank, where they broke in a
window. ,r
After tapping the till of the cash
register they ransacked the lower
compartment Of the account register
and secured keys to the safe, but did
not succeed in getting into it. Had
they been able to work the combina-
ton or been onto their job suffici-
emily to blow it, they would have Sc
cured more cash.
At Acequia the store of Frank
Scherrer was also broken into and the
cash drawer tapped for its contents,
which amounted to the whole sum of
thirty cents. Mr.. Scherrer had emp
tied the till and the days sales were
safely deposited in hiding. From the
fact that nothing but cash was taken
at either place it is thought the same
parties did both jobs. So far no clue
has been found that would lead to
their iscovery-Rupert Pioneer

Action Of Republican National Com.

Washington-Senator Borah, COM
menting on last Wednesdays action
of the Republican national committee,
said:
1T seems to me the action of the
committee is all that we had any
right to expect. The representation
OF the south has been cut down to 1854
delegates in the convention. while the
north has 819. In addition to that,
every delegate in the next national
convention must be elected under the
primary law of the state. This is a
practical effect of the national pri-
mary, and puts it, in my Judgment,
within our power to control the situa-
tion through primary elected dele
gates. s."-Statesman.
