been retained in custody in the hail..
by guards who had not dared to enter
the room.
Now for the first time Kitty Gray
rose above her fears, excited at this
sudden danger to her faithful serv-
ant.
What do you mean?" demanded she
of the prefect. This is my servant
Roleau. He is innocent as a babe. He

were taken in charge. He even brought
to you the man who was in this room.

and signed to his men. The man Ro-

Left presently alone, for a time the
uncongenial party sat or stood about
as best they might, mcodiiy awaiting
the issue of the chiefs errand.
Kitty felt her eyes turning again
and again to the grave face of Count
lF'rederick himself. whose own glances
were averted from her. How calm he
seemed, how strong, how resourceful
these thoughts came to her mind.
Without him now in this last desperate
coil of circumstances regarding the
Gretzhoffen coin, where would she
be? What hope would she dare en-
tertain?
Count Sachio paced about or sat,
head in hand. brooding over the deli
cate nature of his own situation.
OF all those thus strangely gathered
here only one seemed to feel anything
but suspicion or despairl-the apache
leader, who remained under guard in

others.

The apache's gaze turned from
Count Sachio's face to that of Count
Frederick, and then again from Kitty
to Roleau. But none of these made
answer. Not one made him sure as to
any specific guess.

The Hidden Thief.


AS he turned from the room where
these late exciting scenes had oc-
Cured there was one-Count Fred
erick-who gazed back with look of
inquiry to the solitary occupant who
tarried there. Kitty Gray, wrapped
In her own anxieties, did not catch
this look of solitude, but as they all
passed out and left her to her own de-
vices, robbed now even of the aid of
her faithful servant, she cast herself
upon a couch in sudden access of ap-
Irehens.on.
Then she paused, her breath held,
her heart sitting her lungs for just an
instant. 1t seemed to her that she
felt in the couch beneath her some
suspicious movement-yes, it must be

the door, her first instinct that of
fight, but halted and found conceal

alcove. Her eyes were fastened on
the cover of the couch which but now
she had occupied.

hand appear beneath its edge-saw

moment, and he was out of the win
dow and passed from sight as had
his fellows.
There was no time for Kitty to call
for aid. even had there been aid which
she could have summoned. She
wasted no time in utilities, but her
own fashion of self-help. resolved to
lose no opportunity to end certain of
these complexities. Without time for
thought she sprang after the man, no
definite plan in her mind. AS she did
so, she called out once more, almost
by instinct, upon the one friend who
thus far had not failed her. ''Ro-
leau" she cricd,-"Roleaui"
But the faithful Roleau did not hear
his mistress summon him. BY this
time he was in the front part of the
hotel, himself in charge of the officers
of the law.
On his way to the station house in
charge of the gendarmes he weighed
deliberately the chances of success
one bold man might have against
these others now torn by indecision;
for certainty the gendarmes them
selves had come out of this with none
too much glory, and were in no too

more to gain the front of the hotel.
He passed rapidly to the desk.

stood there, himself irresolute, "the
captain has asked me to inquire of her

specify as to the nature OF that in
quiry. He sprang to the stair. un-

more found open the door of the room

held in the Library on Friday and
Saturday, September 18th and 18th.

especially vacation pictures taken this
year, will be in it. An invitation is
given, to all to place their kodak pic
lures in this exhibit, ard every one is
asked to bring them to the Library
on or before Monday, September 18th.
A number of pictures have already
been promised, some by children as
we'll as by adults, and some developed
and printed by the amateurs. The
number of important events occurring
near here this summer and the fact
that many people have taken extern
sive trips this year, will make this
exhibit a more varied and interesting
collection than would otherwise be
possible. The exhibit will be in the
main room of the Library and will be
open to all during the regular Library
hours: 200 to $50 in the afternoon
and from 700 to 900 in the evening
and also Saturday morning from 900
to 1900. The evening hour of TOO
to 500, continued through the sum-
mer, will be changed to 700 to 900
after Monday, September 9Th.

grammar, Wentworth Geometry and a
copy of the North Dakota Session
Laws of 1915.

INDIAN VILLAGE DISCOVERY

INDIAN VILLAGE DlSCOVEkY
The Independent, published at
Beulah in Mercer county, had this to
say last week of Indian village dis
coveries:
Beulah had the distinction Of hav-
ing a notable visitor this week in the
person of DR.. O. G. Libby, Prof. Of
History, University of N. D., who is
on his way to Rec, on the Fl. Ber-
thold Indian reservation, to gather
stories and songs of the three tribes
there.
DR.. Libby is secretary Of the State
Historical Society, and while here he
made a trip to an old Indian village
southeast Of town. The village was
first discovered by Chas. M. Whitmer
of Yucca, N. D., years ago when this
was still the cow country Of the
northwest.
DR.. Libby made a thorough exami-
nation of the village and the explana-
ton he gives is that the village is a
very old one, dating back to the 18th
Century, that it was inhabited by the
Hidatsa, or eros Ventre. Zero Van)
Indians, as they are called today,
His belief as to the peculiar location
is that because of the fact that Spring
Creek and Knife River trails were the
most followed by the Indians and be-
cause the eros Ventres were at war
with the Sioux, Crows and Assino-
bans at that time, the tribe thought
it best to build their village away
from these we'll travelled roads, out on
the prairie.
