The man shivered His eyes. as
though fascinated, watched the little
instrument.
Il am saying this, Craig" Quest
continued. Craig is here and in my
power. He is sitting within a few
feet OF me and will not leave this
room until he has told me your where

nora. You shall be free in an hour. .
The trapped man looked away from
the instrument into Quests face
There was a momentary flicker oil
something that might have passed for
courage in his tone.
"Mr Quest" he said. you are a
wonderful man, but there are limits to
your power. You can tear my tongue
out from my mouth. but you cannot
force me to speak"
Quest leaned a little farther for

more concentrated.

Craig shook his head. A very weak

The whole gamut of emotions
seemed already to have spent them
selves in the mans face, but at that
moment there was a new element, an
element OF terrified curiosity In the
expression of his eyes as he stared
towards the door.

muttered.
Quest, too, turned his head and
sprang instantly to his feet. From un,
derneath the door came a little puff
of smoke. There was a queer sense
of heat Of which both men were ST.

the street arose a chorus of warn

"it's time something was done"
He took a magnifying glass from
his pocket and examined very closely
the whole of the front of the safe.

that certain town near London gave
five hotels to welcome and care for
some of them. The Belgians were In
no state to look after themselves at

Craig turned to the door, but stag

The stairs are going!" he shrieked.
1T is the kitchen that is on fire. We
are cut off! We cannot get down."
Quest was on his hands and knees,
fumbling under his trucklebed. He
pulled out a crude form of fire es-

rope attached.

Craig quickly. Here, catch hold Put

The professor swung round in his
chair and greeted Quest with some
surprise, but also little disappoint-

Greatest Crowd II

Valley City, N. D.. July Z. With
crowds packing the Chautauqua
grounds, with the Barnes county fair
holding the most successful exhibition
in it's history and with four conven-

the largest crowd in its history.
The feature of the chautauqua today
is most unique concert by a con-
solidated band representing the musi-
cal associations of Lucca, Sanborn,

Some idea of the size of such a band
may be gained from the fact 1t repre-
sents forty clarinets. forty slide from
bones, thirty basses, fifty eight altos
and eighty comets, an indefinite mum
ber Of pfccolos, flutes, saxophones and
snare drums.
Besides the concert a contest will
be held in the evening at which time
the best band will be selected.

What is the future Of Moorhead?
To some. perhaps, this is no ques-

real and vital problem. And in cast

necessary to disregard the opinions of
those whose optimism and positive
assurance blinds them to perils that
must be met, and, on the other hand,
of those whose excessive pessimism
makes it impossible for them to see
the future in the proper light.
