STANDARDIZATION
OF RURAL SCHOOLS

Miss Florence Salabar has just re-
ceived bulletin from Mrs. Mary c..
G Bradford, state superintendent OF
public instruction, setting forth the
plans for standardizing the schools
of Colorado. For more than year
Mrs. Bradford has been working on
the proposition. At meeting of the
County Superintendents' association
last spring committee was appoint
ed to collaborate with her in drafting
a plan. The bulletin recently issued
is the result of their combined efforts
IN formulating arrangements for uni
flying the educational system of the
state and raising its standard.
Basis for
Classifications.
In order to be classified as stand
ard school the institution must score
at least SO per cent efficiency as out
lined in the bulletin. This grade is
designated as probationary schools.
Those scoring 80 per cent are class
fled as approved and those reaching
SO per cent as superior. Forty per
cent Of the points are based on the

ter stuff, which is selling at $4,000
5.50 largely. Bull trade is about as
uneven as the rest of the list, can

bologna grades largely at s4.9O@5.4O.
Veals have declined 75c to 81 per cwt
recently. $10.0o@10.50 taking popular
weights with heavy calves at $6.00@
800.
Choice Lambs
are Growing Scarce.
Light receipts have restored the SO
quotation on lainbs this week and
killers admit inability to secure en-
ough to satisfy their trade. Owing
to feeder demand at Omaha packers

stuff is selling relatively higher than
anything else. Heavy lambs are get
ting severe discrimination and any
thing over 100 pounds is thrown out
to sell on its merits. Demand centers
on good to choice handy weights,
which are scarce. Little warmed-up
55@65-pound lambs are selling as
high as $S.75 and are the highest pric-
ed stuff on the list. Light culls at
$7@7.75 are also relatively higher
than good lambs. The western run
is practically over except for pack
age of feeders.
Heavy Mutton
Supply Increases.
Stubble fields lave been contribut-

since the high spot two weeks ago.
Ewes have borne the brunt of the de-
cline. 1t is $3.50 market for most
of the natives. with few handy
weights at $5.75. Western sheep have
declined 25c, the limit on western ewes
being $S.S5, while sheep are quotable
at $6.65 The run out of stubble-
fields is expected to keep killers well
supplied for several weeks, as they
can use but little heavy mutton. Scar
city is not far distant, however, as few
western sheep have gone to the feed
lots. The trade is confident of a high
sheep market all winter.
Wood Market
Shows Improvement.
Eastern wool markets have picked
up recently. A Russian order for
100000 yards of cloth took prac-
tically all last seasons cheap wool off
the market and an option exists that
the low spot has been passed. Bos-
ton traders are optimistic and large
volume of trade is being done. Re-

As she entered. quickly she selected
one OF the trunks whose contents we're
more smart than the rest, and laid the
gowns out most fetchlngly about the
room.
In the ofiice OF the hotel a few mo-
ments later the naturalist entered. He
looked about curiously. then went over
to the desk and glanced over the reg
lister. Al the name Madame LaTenz,
Paris, Room 22," he paused.
For some seconds he stood thinking.
Then he deliberately walked over to a
leather chair and took a prominent
seat near by in the lobby. He had dis
carded his net, but still had the case,
which now he had showed into his
pocket. From a table he picked up a
newspaper.
II was not long before Del Mar
pulled up before the hotel and entered
in his usual swagger manner. He
had returned to the bungalow, read
the note, and hurried over to the st.
German.
He crossed the lobby, back to the
office, As he did so the naturalist had
his face hidden deeply in the open
newspaper. But no sooner had Del
Mar passed than the newspaper fell
unappreclated, and he gazed after him,
as he left the lobby by the back way.
It was only few minutes after she
had completed arranging her small
stock so that It looked quite impress
slve, that Madame Larenz heard a
knock at the door and recognized Del
Mars secret code. She opened the
door and he strobe in.
II got your note" he said, briefly,
coming directly to business and tell
ing her Just what he wanted done.
"Let me see," he concluded, glancing
at his watch. ut is after three now.
She ought to be here any minute"
Outside, Elaine drove up to the
rather garish entrance of the st. Ger
main, and one of the boys in uni
form ran forward to open the door
and take charge of the car. She, too,
crossed the lobby without seeing the
old naturalist, though nothing escaped
him.
AS she passed he started to rise and
cross toward her, then appeared to
change his mind.
Elaine went on out through the back
of the lobby, directed by a boy, and
mounted a flight of stairs in prefer
ence to taking the lift to the second,
or sort Of mezzanine floor. Down
along the corridor she went, hunting

used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, inAam-

feeling, hatulency, indigestion, dizziness,
or nervous prostration. Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is the STAN
dard remedy for female ills.
Women who suffer from those dis
tressing ills peculiar to their sex should
be convinced of the ability of Lydia G.

They looked about carefully. There
was no one on that side Of the hr n
just az the moment.
Ready" responded one. "ouickl "
Together Del Mar and Madame
Larenz passed Elaine, Intellectually
struggling, out OF the window. The
men seized her and placed her In the
bottom OF the car. which was covered.
Then they shot away. taking a back
road up the hill.
Hurriedly the naturalist went
through the lobby in the direction
Elaine had gone, and a moment later
reached the corridor above.
Down It, he could hear someone
coming out OF room %. He slid into
an angle and hid.
It was Del Mar and the woman he
had seen at the bungalow. They
passed by without discovering him,
nor could he make out anything that
they said. What mischief was afoot?
Where was Elaine?
He ran to the door and tried II. Il
was locked. Quickly he took from his
pocket a skeleton key and unlocked
It. There was Elaine's hat and dress
lying in a heap on the bed. But she
was not there. He was now thor
oughly alarmed.
She could not have passed him In
the hall. Therefore she must have
gone or been taken out through the
window. That would never have been
voluntary, especially leaving her
things there.
The window was still open. He
ran TO Il. One glance out was enough.
He leaped to the ground. Sure
enough there were automobile tracks
in the dust.
"Del Mars carl" he muttered to
himself, studying them.
He fairly ran around the side Of the
hotel. There he came suddenly upon
Elaine's car standing alone, and rec
ognized 1t.
There was no time for delay. He
jumped into it and let the swift little
racer out as he turned and gathered
momentum to shoot up the hill on
high speed.
Meanwhile. I had been Jogging along
through the country, lonely and dis
consulate. / don't know how it hap
pened, but suppose it was by some
subconscious desire. At any rate,
found myself at the road that came
out across one leading to the st.
Germain, and it occurred to me that

Elaine might by this time have pur.
chased enough frocks to clothe her
for a year. At any rate quickened
my pace in the hope Of seeing her.
Suddenly my horse SHE'D, and q ia.
miliar little car flashed past me. But
the driver was not familiar. 1t was
Elaine's roadster. In it was a stran-
ger-a man who looked like "bugol-
ogist," as nearly as l can describe
him. Was he running off with her car
while she was waiting inside the ho-
tel?
galloped after him.
Del Mars automobile, with Elaine
bound and gagged in it, drove rapidly
by back and unfrequented ways into
the country until at last it pulled up
before an empty two-story house in a
sort Of grove of trees.
The men leaped out, lifted Elaine,
and carried her bodily into the house,
taking her upstairs and into an upper
room. She had tainted when they laid
her down and loosened the dress from
aboIt her face so that she could
breathe. There they left her, on the
floor, her hands and feet bound, and
went out.
How long she lay there she never
knew; but at last the air revived her
and she regained consciousness and
sat UP. Her muscles were sore and
her head ached. But she set her teeth
and began struggling with the cords
that bound her, managing at last to
pull the dress over herself at least.
In Elaine's car the naturalist drove
slowly at times, following the track
of the automobile ahead. At last,
however, he came to a place where he
saw that the tracks went up lonely
road. To approach in car was to
warn whoever was there. He ran the
car up alongside the road in the
bIsbss and jumped out, leaving it
and following the tracks up the side
roadway.
Stealthily the naturalist crept
around, still hiding, until be was clos
er to the house on tbs other side.
At last he worked his way around

for number twenty-five. At last she
found it at the end and knocked.
Del Mar and Madame Larenz were
still talking in low tones when they
heard a light tap on the door.
There she is now" whispered
Larenz
"All right; let her in," answered Del
Mar, leaping quietly to closet. "I'll
hide here until get the signal. Do

Outside, at the same time, accord
ing to his carefully concocted plans,
Del Mars car had driven up and
stopped %ose to the side of the hotel
which was on a slight hill that
brought the street level here not so
far below the second story windows.
Three of his most trusted men were in
the car.
Madame Larenz opened the door.
"Oh, I'm so glad you came" she rat
tied on to Elaine. "You see, I've got
to get started. Not a customer yet.
But If you'll only take few gowns,
other people will come to me. III let
you have them cheaply, too. Just look
at this one"
She held up one filmy, creamy crea-
tion that looked like delicate flower.
I'D like to try II on" cried Elaine,
lingering it rapturously.
"By all means!" agreed madame.
1--WE are alone. Do so"
With deft fingers, Larenz helped her
take of her own very pretty dress.
AS Elaine slipped the soft gown over
her head, with her head and arms en-
gagged in its multitudinous folds,
Madame Larenz, powerful woman,
seized her. Elaine was effectually
gagged and bound in the gown itself.
Instantly Del Mar flung himself
from the closet, Disgusting his voice.
Together they wrapped the dress
about Elaine even more tightly to pre-
vent her screaming.
Madame Larenz seized a blanket
and threw that over Elaine's head
also, while Del Mar ran to the win
dow. There were his men in the car,
waiting below.
Are you ready?" he called softly to
them.
