CHAPTER XIII.
A Phase of the Double Cross.

The three detectives inside the
barroom thought so. too. The APP
pearance of Shaughnessy warranted
it. He was without a hat, and was
holding his gun in his right hand
ready for use. They could see him,
but he could not see them; and not
one of them cared to speak, lest
Shaughnessy should shoot at the
sound of the voice before he recog-
nized it. Then something very
much like magic saved the situation.
The lights fiared on again.
Shaughnessy blinked, and stared
into the room at his three fellow of
ficers.
where's Crewe? ?" he demanded.
1t was the question uppermost in his
mind. He did not voice his surprise
at finding Holderness and the 9th
ers there.
Search mew said Holderness.
"Who turned on those lights ?"
81 suppose Crewe did il. He
switched 'em off"
HE is here, then ?"
"He was here; he amt now. That
bug you put into us about his havin'
that dough, or KNOWN where it is,
got our goats, that's all. We
took Bake in the game, as you sug-
gested, and came down to make a
play for it."
When? When did you get here 2"
"Oh, about twelve-thirty."

for granted that we're alone here"
"Christy stand up" was the only
reply that Crewe made, and the bar
tender arose, grinning, from behind
the bar, leaned upon it. Bring
Lieutenant Shaughnessy a drink. He
needs it,"
Indeed, the man looked as if he
did need something of the sort, for
his smooth, baby-skin face flushed
to dark red when he realized that
he was not alone with Crewe.
"You meant to plug me before you
eft here, if there was no other way,
didn't you, Shaugn? And all three
of those bulls who just went out
would have sworn that they were
here and that you had to do it to save
your own life. You told me once to-
night that you were old enough TO
walk if somebody took hold of your
hand, but l don't think you are.
What you need is an attendant
with a uniform on"
Shaughnessy swallowed nearly a
tumblerful of the liquor he had
poured out. Then he leaned partly
across the table and tapped it with
his knuckles.
you're throwing a mighty big
bluff, Crewe, and | suppose it looks
good to you about now"
He spoke in a low tone, so that
Christy, who had returned behind
the bar, could not hear him.
maybe, instead OF throwing one,
I've called yours, and you've got to
lay down, Shaughnessy. You try to
play the game with cards up your
sleeves, but happen to have you by
the wrist, and you can't use 'em. And
now I'll tell you something for you to
think over while you're on your way
home, whether you go there or to
Jess Shannon's fiat, where you think
| was tonight.
ut doesn't take very wise guy
to know that she's your wife now, no
matter who's she was a year ago.
But that isn't what / started to say
to you. It's this: They're just itch
ing for your resignation down at the
big stone building, and you'd better
send it in while there's chance. 1t
won't do you any good to try for
showdown with me. You won't get
it-only in one way and you won't
like that way"
Skaughnessy had remained bent
across the table. His eyes cleaned.
His complexion had changed from
dark red to livid.
"Ill get you yet, Crewe," he
ground out, showing his white and
even teeth, that were strong like
himself. "I'll get you, good and
plenty"
You'll get what's coming to you,
oil hn Of
| Crewe.
Shaughnessy rose slowly to his
feet. His right hand dropped upon
the empty gun. His fingers closed
around it, and he lifted it mechanic
possibilities, and pointed it at Crewe,
who smiled up at him without NOV
ing
| front door ratified Crewe started to
his feet as the glass of it was
smashed into the room beneath sew
eral quick blows of a night-stick
which shattered it up and down and
J sideways in an instant, and the dis
trict Inspector, in uniform, thrust
head and shoulders through the
opening.
He had been attracted by the
bright lights after closing hours,
and had peeked inside before trying
the locked door.
"Christy" Crewe shouted, and
dropped to the floor behind the table
to avoid a possible shot as the lights
went out, for Christy's fingers had
never been far removed from the
switch.
Shaughnessy threw the table
fiercely toward the spot where he
had last seen Crewe, and followed it,
striking out in the darkness as he
did so.

bill was single appropriation by
congress as an experiment to meet
the cry for better postal roads as a
result of the parcel post and carried
few directions, Major Grassland and
his office using their judgment in the
expenditure of the money. The coun-
ty had expended considerable funds
on some of this mileage in the past
ten years in roads, bridges and i'm
proving the roadway, and Major
Grassland is leaving these stretches
intact and eXpending the money in
concrete bridges across creeks and
culverting the gullies and reducing
the higher grades and raising the
surfaces at low points and in swanpy
or sticky districts placing the TelforG
foundation and crushed rock. There
are also a few slight changes in the
roadway where the right of way and
some expense is being supplied by
the adjoining property.
OF the nine reinforced concrete
bridges the most expensive one cost
$S7S.50 on contract price and the
total bridges and culverts will ap-
proximate about $4,000. About $4,000
will be spent on the north side of
Rogue river, principally in crushed
rock road some four miles beyond
Modoc orchard bridge, and consider
able Telford foundation as well as
bridges. A rock crusher is at w):E
in the last named vicinity now.

Fhty-TWO Miles
Of Post Roads

The rural postoffice roads being
built in Jackson county under the di-
rection of the office of public roads,
department of agriculture, will be
completed by August first, according
to Major w. A. Grassland, senior
United States highway engineer in
charge. The work was begun last
fall and remained dormant until this
spring.
The fund consists of $4,000 and
the federal government through the
Shackleford bill made the $500 ,006
appropriation from which Oregon got
$4,000 which Governor West award
ed to Jackson county, the county
court qualifying by appropriating
the other two-thirds from the county
road fund. The routes selected were
made jointly by representative of
the office of public roads and the
county court and approved by the
stmaster-general and secretary of
agriculture, the principal issue being
| the population to be served by rural
| free delivery routes.
In addition to the appropriation
made by the Shackleford bill the Of
flee of post roads furnishes the SER
vices of the senior highway engineer
and junior highway engineer, Rob-
ert H. Harrison, as we'll as all their
expenses, including automobile hire,
thus allowing the entire ,approprla-
ton to go on actual road construc-
tion.
The work was divided into four
routes, the principal mileage being
circle of the valley from Medford
through Agate to the Modoc orchard
or old Bybee bridge, then past the
Antioch school house and Sans val
ley postoffice to Gold Hill, after
which it takes the Kanes creek route
and skirts the foothills west of Cen
trail Point and come sinto MedfuTd
again via Ross Lane. This route
makes total of thirty-eight miles
and it makes a tour of the valley.
which for scenic beauty far surpasses
the Pacific Highway, which passes
through the center of the valley
along the line of the railroad in the
main. Along this route there is one
loop that connects Central Point with
the Agate and Butte creek and Sans
valley country on the east and con-
sists of two miles and another two
mile loop that connects Central Point
on the west with the foothills road
commonly known as millionaire
Row" on account of the section he-
ing noted for the beautiful modern
homes and elegant orchards estab-
lished and maintained in recent years
by wealthy people who have selected
that elevated locality on account Of
+
ley.
The other is ten-mile loop south
of Medford covering the thickly pop
ulated suburban population off from
Oakdale avenue to the vicinity of the
old county hospital site.
The entire route covers fifty-two
miles and none of it duplicates the
Pacific Highway. The Shackleford

Successful school of Instruction Held
at Mitchell.

Mitchell, Juyl 29.-The short
| course OF hog cholera was held by
the state agricultural college, under
the direction of State Veterinarian
DR.. G. c. Lipp. who had a very able
corps of assistants. among whom
we're DIR. Dinwoody of st. Paul and
lSaoratary of ths ss*us- STUCK sanitary
Board Cock of Bell Fourehe. There
was a great deal of interest taken in
this school, and ii Is regretted that
there was not a larger attendance to
these classes. But this comes at a
very busy season and a very few
farmers were able to attend. The at
tendance, however. was considerably
larger than had been anticipated.
There will undoubtedly be another
such class in Dawson county a little
later in the season, and il is a de-
termined effort to reduce hog cholera
In this section of the state to a min
imum. Two afternoons hogs were
| brought on the platform and actual
demonstrations made. both single
and double treatment and then the
hog killed and post norton held over
isame.
We believe ii would be a very
good investment for every county in
the state to arrange for some such
%eourse during the summer months,
although il can not be hoped to have
DIR. Lipp preside over all of these
meetings, yet much good could be
obtained from these schools. From
the work we have seen done by DR..
Lipp, we certainly feel that South
Dakota Is very lucky in having as
capable a man at the head OF this de-
| partment in the agricultural school.

PROGRESSIVE FARMERS
Campbell County Farmers Building
Silos and Raising Alfalfa.

Pollock. July 29.-Campbell coun-
ty farmers are progressing with those
in other parts of the state in the mat
ter of building silos, raising alfalfa,
and other up-to-date methods of ag-
riculture. The first silo known to
have been sold in Campbell county
was purchased by a farmer near Pol
lock the other day. 1t will be 16x32
feet in size, with a capacity of 100
tons. Martin Hanson, who planted
oats on a field that was subsoiled
last year and planted to corn, says
the field absorbed all the moisture
that fell last year and this, and as a
result he has a fine stand of oats.
Andrew Thomson, who is experiment.
ing with a thirty-acre field of alfalfa,
cut forty tons from it the first cut
ting. Garrent Ermmel has purchased
1000 rods of woven wire fencing.
with which he will fence a large por-
ton of his farm SO cattle and hogs
can run in the stubble after the
crops are garnered.

In Brule County Burns Over a Large
Tract.

Pierre, July 29.-Sixty men in
eighteen autos left Fort Pierre last
night to help fight a prairie fire
twelve miles southeast of that place
in lower Brule county. The fire was
checked after burning a tract three
miles long, desroying a large amount
of range and many fences. The
grass is heavy in that territory from
the good season and this condition
rendered the fire more dangerous
than usual. A number of small prai-
RE fires have been reported in the
western section OF the state and set
tiers and tourists are being urged to
use extra caution. Each season a
large amount of damage results from
these prairie fires, which sometimes
run for hundreds of miles before be
ing checked.

AFFECTS PRICE or WHEAT
Rise of 4L2 Cents Follows Declaration

st. Paul, July 29.-The immediate
effect in the Twin Cities of the dec

Seryia probably will be to send the
price of -four up 20 cents per barrel,
according to J. c. Enright, member
Of the Equity Cooperative Exchange.
1T Is not SO much because of the
increased need or scarcity, as to the
speculative tendency of the grain
| market" said Mr.. Enright.
Within half an hour after the news
of the war situation In Europe struck
