Gafford ceased his questions and
sat with bowed head. Why, he asked
himself, rad Oshitu taken the girl
to an island? There was more mys-
terry in that. Was there some secret
hiding place in that bit Of land?
Did he intend to keep her there,
almost under the noses of those who
searched? 1t would be like him, and
yet it hardly seemed possible. He
slid his hand inside his pocket and
felt for Yamata's gun. The harbor
wind had whipped the last Of his
dizziness from him, and he felt coidly
calm. This was the real beginning
of his service to his country, his re-
demption of his promise to the girl.
The sampan went on, past the
Koru, past the yacht. The islands
loomed nearer. Here, thought Gaf-
ford the girl must have first sus-
pected that all was not right. Even
as the thought came to him, he be-
came aware that sampan had left
the shadow of the first island and
was heading hack up the harbor.
He spoke to the boatman, and the
fellow nodded and grinned. "Toko

Gatford, in his seat, leaned forward,
as though in so doing he could help
the onward rush. The shadow Of
the island came closer and fell above
them. The sampan grated on the
shore.

CHAPTER VI.
Capture and Pursuit.

OF the events of the next four
days Gafford has never been fully
clear. He remembers part of what
happened-the long span of the first
twenty-four hours, during the earlier
part of which he tried to read or
paced the floor of his prison with
an ever-increasing restlessness,
constantly growing thiob and ache
Of his muscles, gradual parching
out of his tissues, as it seemed.
Hard upon that followed a time
when he sat on the stool and gazed
at the lamp on the wall and tried
to make up his mind what it was all
about, anyway, and why he was
locked in this room and not allowed
to go out. Mixed up with this was
the occasional advent of a creature
in flowing garments, who came to
him and listened to his remarks and
smiled upon him, half in pity, while
he told her things he forgot as soon
as uttered, and went away.
Gafford at first thought her 4
friend, but gradually. became con-
vinced in his own mind that she was
his jailer. With great cunning he
crept to the lamp and put it out
and crouched in the darkness beside
the door, waiting for the turning Of
the lock. When it came, he hurled
himself upon the one who entered
and sought to- fight his way to free
dom.
The scream of the one he grap-
pied was as music to his ears, and
he gripped and tore at the body
which opposed him until, overborne
by what seemed many hands, he
sank down into a blackness of un-
conscious indifference, out of which
other hands presently lifted him up
| and forced nauseous draft down
his throat. This part of his recol-
lection is very hazy and vague
mixture of fiction and fact.
Looking at it sanely, he knows
that the things which came to him
and talked with him by the hour
were but the images of his owr
brain. At the time they were vay
real. Eventually even they left him
and ne slept.
He came out of that sleep with &
geat sense Of lassitude upon him
Somebody had lighted the lamI
again, and its light hurt his eyes
He rolled with his face to the wall
to escape from the annoyance. Thei
some one seized him and turned hin
back, lifted him up, and set a cuI
to his lips. He realized dimly tina
he was thirsty with a great thirst
and he gulped at what the cup con
tanned.

Shop Girls and Scent.

The proprietor OF big Berlin shop
lately dismissed one Of the girls on
the ground that she scented herself
SO violently that she drove away Gus
tom from the shop. The girl there
upon brought an action against her
employer and the magistrates decided
that girls serving in shops were al
lowed to scent themselves, provided
always that the scent did not affect
the olfactory ner"es Of those near
them and did no harm to trade.
Moreover. the master OF the shop
was fined 5s as damages.

The revolutionqin Mexico which is
burning itself out and must come
to an endisoon whether the peace con-
ference affects anything definite or
not, has caused the government Of the
United States more anxiety than any
thing that has come up during the
present administration
When President Wilson came into
office General Huerta had overthrow
the Madero government. He was in
Office but no foreign government had
recognized him.
President Taft, who has since said
the right thing to do was to recog-
nize Huerta, did not do so at the
close of his term because he was
following the precedent of Presi-
dent Hayes who let Porfiro Diaz go
a year without recognition"
If President Taft had remained in
Office another eight months he would
undoubtedly have taken the action
he now indicates and the Mexican
problem would have been of our
hands for Huerta, with the backing
OF the United States and the Euro
pean powers would have controlled
Mexico.

The Beltrami County Fair opens
tomorrow.
Last years fair was better than
the previous one. This years fair
is going to surpass any one ever held.
This is due in great part to the
energy of the men who have been
behind the fair and the fact of the
splendid country which will con-
tribute.
A county fair reflects the pros
perity of it's district. As this COM
munity becomes more settled the
better will be our county fair.
However, in order to make the
fair success, the cooperation of
everyone is necessary. Everyone
should show their cooperative spirit
