Gray Eagle only grunted again.
The low. even voice of Jim went on
"One Strike is the last of his clan.
There is none to notice. The gray horse
is plenty good to make the journey with

GRAY Eagle thoughtfully removed the
pipe from his lips and blew out big
puff of smoke as he replied: 1t is bad
to forego the custom OF my fathers.
We know that One Strike would choose
the bay to go with him, had he spoken.

gray horse into the forest that it may

propagation Of a fire worshiping creed,

caverns in the world is that of Secun-
dereah. whose character resembles the
Grotto del Cane of Naples. 1t gives off
noxious fumes, which at certain times
are certain death to man and beast.
But the most astonishing place in Azer-

Suleimaun. or Solomon's temple. The
city stands on hill $50 feet high. with
a wall of thirty feet embracing the
crumbling remains Of temple and
shrine. In the midst is a flake Of deep

ERRORS IN BILLS CUT

Department heads at the state CAPT.

numerous and serious errors had been
made in appropriation bills passed
by the late Legislature AS result
there has been general rush on the
office of Secretary of State Schmahl
to examine the signed bills.
Public Examiner Fritz found early
yesterday morning that he was shy
$4,000 in his contingent fund for
the year beginning August, 1916.
The customary amount had been al
lowed him for the first year, but
either in the enrolling of the bill or
the failure of some clerk to insert the
proper item the appropriation for the
second had been omitted. 80
The second department head to
find himself hit was Commissioner
Farrell of the dairy and food depart
ment. He is shy $15,5O0 in his con-
tingent fund for the year beginning
