Long Sin.
To my utter amazement, l recog'

In the first onslaught Craig shot one
Chinaman dead, then closed with the
others, slashing right and left with the
Chinese knife he had picked up.
Bennett came to his aid, but was

Finally, Long Sin, seizing a large

from the back and threw 1t over his
head, almost suffocating him
1t was just as the Chinese was about
to overpower him that l led the po-
lice and detectives through the pas
sageway of the fireplace.
1t was a glorious fight that followed
But Long Sin and his Cinnamon were
no match for the police and were soon
completely routed, the police striking
furiously in all directions and clearing
the room.
Instantly Kennedy thought of the
fair object of all this melee. He
rushed to the divan on which he had
placed Elaine.

what had happened, she gave her hand
to Bennett. Bennett lifted her to her
feet and slowly assisted her as she
tried to walk away.
Kennedy watched them, more stupe-
fed than if he had been struck over
the head by Long Sin.
Police and detectives were now TAX
ing the captured Cinnamon away, as
Bennett, his arm about Elaine, led her
gently out.
A young detective had slipped the
bracelets over Long Sins wrist, and /
was standing beside him.

AS Craig collected his scattered
forces Long Sin motioned to him, as
if he had a message to deliver.
Kennedy frowned suspiciously. He
was about to turn away when the Chi
naman began pleading earnestly for
chance to say few words.
Step aside for a moment, you fel
lows, won't you, please?" he asked. Il
will hear what you have to say, Long
Sin"
Long Sin looked about craftily
What is it?" prompted Craig, see
ing that at last they were all alone
Long Sin again looked around.
Swear that l will go free and not
suffer" he whispered, "and l will be-
tray the great Clutching Hand"
Kennedy studied the Chinaman
keenly for moment Then, seeming
ly satisfied with the scrutiny, he nod
ded slowly assent
AS Craig did so, saw Long Sin lean
over and whisper into Kennedy's ear.
Craig started back in horror and sur
prise.

two of the policemen who had incau-

them before we entered. At any rate,
Savetsky did not lose a iot of her re-
markable composure.

but I'm afraid my control is weak

She took a step toward the door,
motioning us to leave. Neither of us
paid any attention to the hint, but re-
manned seated as we had been be-
fore.
Almost before knew what she was
doing, she made dash for something
in the corner of the room. 1t was
time for open action, and l seized her
quickly.
My detective was on his feet in an
instant.
'Tll take care of her" he ground
out, seized her wrists in his viselike
grasp. you give the signal"
I rushed to the window, threw up
the shade and opened the sash, wav-

As the detective took her again and
twisted her arm until she cried out

She had evidently been attempting to
press a button that rang a concealed
bell.
What did it mean?
Elaine, now completely unconscious,
was being held by the Cinnamon,
while her arm was smeared with
sticky, black material from the caul-
dron of Long Sin.
Suddenly the aged Chinaman with

Shaking with rage, Long Sin or
dered the intruder off the dais. But
the aged devotee refused to go.

For answer as the two young
Cinnamon approached, the old China

Elaine breathlessly, now aroused to

Seated in her chair, the medium
muttered wildly for a few moments,
rolled her eyes and with some CON
yulsive movements pretended TO go in
to a trance.
Suddenly the curtains we're pulled
aside and Aunt Josephine and Ben
nett who had just come in, entered.

Savetsky, starting up and looking
about severely. you must come to

whats all this, Elaine? demanded
Aunt Josephine.
Hurriedly, Elaine poured forth to
her aunt and Bennett the story of the
mediums visit and the promised mes
sage from her father in the other
world.
Aunt Josephine, who was not one
easily to be imposed on, strongly OBJ
jected to Elaine's proposal to accom-
pany Savetsky TO the seance chamber,
but Elaine would not be denied.
1T might be safe for Elaine to go"
Bennett finally suggested to Aunt Jo-
sephine, "if you and / accompanied
her" --~
A few moments later, in the Dodge
car, Elaine, the medium and her two
escorts started for the Chinese quar-
ters.
At the house the medium opened the
door with her key and ushered in her
three visitors.
Entering the room, the medium at
once prepared for the seance by pull
ing down the window shades.
Suddenly an indistinct face was seen
to be peering through the black cur
tains. A voice, deep, sepulchral, was
heard in slow and solemn tones.
Il am Eeko-the spirit of Taylor
Dodge. l will give no message until
one named Josephine leaves the
room"
No sooner had the words been ut
tered than the medium came writhing
out of her trance
What happened?" she asked, look
ing at Elaine.
Elaine reported the spirits words.

CROPS ARE IN
GOOD CONDITION
Heavy Rains in All Parts of
State Last Week.
THREE lNCHESAT GLASGOW
Plenty of Moisture in Ground to Give
Crops a Good Start. Good Crop
Looked For.

Crop conditions throughout the state
were greatly improved last week by
general rains. The spring drouth
which had lasted for several weeks
was effectively broken up, the north
eastern counties of the state being
especially fortunate in getting good
rains. The rainfall in this part of
the state averaged over an inch, the
maximum reported being at Glasgow,
where three inches of rain fell.
The temperature was above the
normal the first part of the week, but
termination was slow in most sections
on account of the lack of moisture,
while the latter part was rather cool
for rapid growth. The soil moisture
is now abundant for crops in nearly
all sections.

FAIR PRIZES FOR GIRLS
Emporium Donates Three Prizes.
Worth Connecting For.

Emporium Donates Three Prizes.
Worth Competing For.
School boys and girls will be given
greater attention at the Valley Coun-
ty Fair in September than ever be-
fore, for the business houses of Glas-
gov are hanging up some very attrac-
tive premiums to be competed for.
The Emporium has offered three which
are very desirable and will without
doubt furnish added inducement for
every scholar to compete.
The school girl making the best ex-
hibit of pressed flowers will receive
a handsome girls purse, which the
Emporium will provide. It is son'e-
thing worth going after, and the many
pretty wild flowers growing in Valley
County ought to provide large field
for displaying the talent of the girls
of our public schools.
Another attractive premium by the
Emporium will be pair Of girls but
ton shoes offered for the best exhibit
of penmanship by a school girl. This
will make it an object for every girl
in the county to practice up and show
her ability with the pen. There are
many beautiful pen hands among our
county school girls and it is a sure
fact that the work shown by them
will be equally as attractive.
Something that will appeal to ev-
cry girl and be source of keen com
petition offered by the Emporium is
girls sweater. This will go to the
school girl showing the best exhibit
of work in Division L, Class number
one, consisting of button hoi', work,
hemmed patch, darning, hemstitching,
work apron and fancy corset cover.
Here is the school girls own forte
where she shows to distinct advantage
and this premium will surely bring
forward large class of competitors,
Entries in the school work should
be made at as early date as possible
to insure sufficient space being al
lotted to the school children.

GLASGOW HAS REAL ARTIST
Oil Paintings and Sketches by Young
Indian Attract Attention.

Little Wolf, a full blco'led Assini-
boine Indian, known by the white
mans name of Carl Wheeler, is fast
developing reputation as an artist
of wonderful ability. His productions
in oil, water colors, pen and ink
sketches and charcoal drawings are
most wonderfully accurate, showing
talent so far in excess of what is
naturally attributed to the redman, as
to be most marvellous.
The amazing feature of the work of
Little Wolf, is the fact of his abso-
lutte lack of any technical training.
His work is the product of an ability
born to him, and he has never re-
ceived one word of instruction or
teaching of any sort to aid him. This
lack of training is displayed in some
of the larger works in oil, which he
has produced, in the slight errors of
proportion shown, by which the sub
ject taken contains some variance in
Size anu prospectus
Even with the lack of training his
work stands out remarkably we'll.
Most all subjects are western views,
Indians on the hunt, in camp or scout
ing. The colorings are perfect mad
that peculiar facial expression of the
Indian is brought out in all it's true
contour. Cowboys on herd, break
ing broncs, real CLUSTERS" and other
typical western life scenes are pro-
duced by Little Wolf in wonderfully
accurate detail, and there is life and
action wherever required. To look
at one of his sketches of a wild bronco
trying to dismount it's rider, one
views the perfect action and life of
the picture. Russell himself has no
greater conception or ability than
has Little Wolf, excepting of course,
the technical training which gives
Russell the advantage.
With year or two of study under
a good master Little Wolf will make
himself recognized authority and
stand equal with Russell in the depict
ing of that fast fading western life
so interesting and romantic.
| Little Wolf is "a years old, having
first viewed this world at old Rose
i bud, now Carterville on the Yellow
stone. He received early schooling
on the reservation and afterwards
spent two years at Carlyle, and is a
clean cut, bright young man of most
exemplary habits. After leaving Car
lyle he worked at Buffalo, New York
and other eastern cities, but the west
called him and he returned to Mon
tana. Here he has followed the range
as cowboy, horse breaker and range
rider. At present he is employed up
on ranch near Glasgow.
The one ambition of Little Wolf
is to save up enough money to permit
of his going east next winter to study
and improve himself so that he may
continue in the work he loves. Sew
eral of his paintings are to be seen in
Glasgow and the work shows an abil.
ity rarely displayed by some after
years of diligent training.
