lence that fell on you like lead. with
an obstinate patience that was dread
full to see. Sergeant Cuff tried the boot
in the footsteps and always found it
pointing the same way-straight to the
rocks. Hunt as he might, no sign
could he find anywhere of the foot
steps walking from them.
He gave it up at last. A dreadful
dumb trembling crawled all over me
on a sudden. l fell upon my knees on
the sand.
"She has been back at the hiding
place." l heard the sergeant say to
himself. "Some fatal accident has
happened to her OF those rocks"
l tried to say, The death she has
died. sergeant, was a death Of her own
seeking No; the words wouldn't
come.
The sergeant kindly lifted me up and
turned me away from the sight of the
place where she had persisted.
With that relief I began to fetch my
breath again and to see things about
me as things really We're. Looking to-
ward the sand hills. l saw the men
servants from out of doors and the
fisherman named Yolland all running
down to us together and. all having
taken the alarm, calling out to know
if the girl had been found. In the few
est words the sergeant showed them
the evidence of the footmarks and told
them that a fatal accident must have

The Shiverinq Sand.

"1 HAVE seen the Indians" an
swercd Sergeant Cuff. "And
l have found out what Ro-
sauna bought privately in the
town on Thursday last. The Indians
will be set free on Wednesday in next
week. There isn't a doubt on my
mind and there isn't a doubt IN Mr..
Murthwalte's mind that they came to
this place to steal the moonstone.
Their calculations were all thrown out,
of course, by what happened in the
house on Wednesday night, and they
have no more to do with the actual loss
of the jewel than you have. But 1
can tell you II thing. Mr.. Better
edge, if we don't find the moonstone
they will. You have not heard the
last of the three jugglers yet"
Mr.. Franklin came back from his
walk as the sergeant said those star
thing words. Governing his curiosity
better than I had governed mine, he
passed us without a word and went on
into the house.
AS for me, having already dropped
my dignity. l determined to have the
whole benefit Of the sacrifice. $50
much for the Indians" l said. "What
about ROsanna, neXt?"
Sergeant Cuff shook his head.
THE mystery in that quarter is
thicker than ever" he said. Il have
traced her to a shop at F%rizinghall,
kept by a linen draper named Maltby.

of the other Diapers shops or at any
milliners' or tailors' shops, and she
bought nothing at Maltby's but a piece
Of long cloth. She was very particu-
lar in choosing a certain quality. AS
to quantity, she bought enough to
make a nightgown."
"Whose nightgown" l asked.
"Her own, to be sure. Between II
and 3 on the Thursday morning she
must have slipped down to your young
lady's room to settle the hiding Of the
moonstone, while all the rest of you
were in bed. In going back to her W
room her nightgown must have brush
ed the wet paint on the door. She
couldn't wash out the stain, and she
couldn't safely destroy the nightgown
without first providing another like 1t
to make the inventory of her linen COM
plete."

nightgown?" l objected.

highroads of Norway is the great num-
Der Of gates-upward Of 10000 in the
whole country-which have to be open
ed. These gates, which either mark
the boundaries Of the farms or sepa-

has to stop his vehicle and get down to

went with the sergeant to order the
pony chaise. In the stable yard we got
a new light thrown On the missing girl.
The new of Hosanna's disappearance
had. as it appeared, spread among the
outdoor servants. They, too, had made
their inquiries, and they had just laid
hands on a quick little imp nicknamed
Duffy, who was occasionally employed
In wedding the garden and who had
seen Kosanna Spearman as lately as
half an hour since. Duffy was certain
that the girl had passed him in the fir
plantation, not walking, but running,
in the direction of the seashore.
Does this boy know the coast here
abouts" asked Sergeant Cuff.
He has been born and bred on the
coast" l answered.
"Duffy,' says the sergeant, do you
want to earn a shilling? If you do,
come along with me. Keep the pony
chaise ready, Mr.. Betteredge, till l
come back"
He started for the Shivering Sand at
a rate that my legs, though we'll enough
preserved for my time of life, had no
hope of matching. l don't know how
long It was after the sergeant had gone
to the sands when Duffy came running
back with a message for me. Sergeant
Cuff had given the boy a leaf torn out
of his pocketbook, On which was writ
ten in pencil, "Send me one of Rosanna
Spearman's boots, and be quick about
it."
l dispatched the first woman servant
l could find to Rosanna's room, and
sent the boy back to say that l myself
would follow him with the boot.
But l was resolved to see for myself
what new mystiication was going on
before l trusted Rosanna's boot in the
sergeant's hands. My old notion OF
screening the girl II I could seemed tc
have come back on me again at the
eleventh hour.
AS I got near the shore I passed the
boy crouching for shelter under the LEI
Of the sand hills. Then l saw the
beach with II solitary black figure

His face frightened me. l saw 6
look in his eyes which was a look Of
horror. He snatched the boot out o.
my hand and set it in q footmark or
the sand bearing south from us as we
stood and pointing straight toward the
rocky ledge called the South Spit
The mark was not yet blurred out by
the rain, and the girls boot fitted it tt

The sergeant pointed to the boot IL
the foot mark without saying a word.
He went on, following the footstep:

The first governor of Colorado was William Gilpin. who was born 93 years ago today, Oct. f, 182, and who was ap- pointed executive of the newly ere ated territory in 1861,, during the ad- ministration of President Lincoln. It was Governor Gilpin who christened the future stCentennial State which was formed from parts of it's several contiguous neighbors. As recently as 1919 8 United States army officer re- ported that the Colorado of the future was impossible of cultivation and un- inhabitable iby white men, The dis covery of gold by Cherokee cattle dealer attracted about 400 pioneers to Colorado in 1852, and in 1858 the city of Denver, named. after the territorial governor of Kansas. was founded The miners sent a delegate to the Kansas legislature in that year, and instructed. him to urge the separation of the dis trict from Kansas and the organiza- tion of new territory. In 1859 a con vention, having this. object in view, was held in Denver, and Congress granted the plea in 1861. The name of Colorado, derived from a Spanish word meaning "co1ored,' was applied to the Colorado river, because of it's red color. and was given by Gov. Gilpin to the territory Gi1pin's administration was brief, but he performed a memorable service in saving the new territory to the Union.

Carbajal, Elk President of
 Mexico, Forty two Today

Francisco CarbajaI, who held, for brief period last year the dubious honor of the presidency of Mexico. was born forty-two years ago today at San Juan Bautista, the capital of the state of Tabasco. He studied law and soon showed such ability in that profession that he gained the friend ship and protection of Don Policarpe Valenzuela, one of the richest men in Mexico. Old Don Poi," as he was popularly known. entrusted the young attorney with several import ant cases, and in other ways helped him to climb the ladder of success
 CarbajaPs first public office was that of provisional governor of his native state, a post he held during the ill-

ness of the real governor, General Abraham Bandala. When he was about thirty Carbajal was appointed secretary general of Tabasco's state government, and continued to act in that capacity, at the same time prac- ticing law, until 1907. He then be- came district judge, and in 1909 President Dfaz made him magis- trate of the supreme court of Justice. He was then only thirty-ffve, and the
 youngest man who had ever held such a position, most of the justices being greybeards of nearly twice his years. During that period Carbaja1 assaulted and badly injured a wealthy Mexican who tried to bribe him. The young supreme court justice became a favorite of old Porf1rio Diaz, and when Madero began his uprising the Dictator sent Carbaial and two others to visit the rebel chief and attempt to
