above the site of the present village

the names of its discoverer. where
they began to strike rich prospects.
During their journey into the pass
they had come up through an Indian
trail which crossed the mountains
and continued through to Payette
and Garden Valley. On the day he
was killed, Grimes told the mem bers
of his party that he had a PRESENT.

death. The members of the party
went out to prospect and on their
way an Indian. lying in ambush, shot

Grimes was buried on the sum-
NIT OF the pass and the news was
brought to the settlements by other
members of the party. In the fall,

READ CHARACTER FROM FEET
Shoe Dealer Says They Are a Sure In.
dex to Their Owners State
Of Mind.

Delegates attending the annual con-
vention of the Ohio Retail Shoe Deal
ers' association maintain the feet are
closely related to character
Feet are not lowly parts of the
anatomy-no pun intended" said O..
K. Torn, Cleveland shoe dealer
Its possible to read character from
feet, just as a phrenologist reads char
acter from the head.
"Women's feet are especially good
indexes of states of mind.
mo matter how serene a woman
may be outwardly, you can guess her
state of mind from the position of her
feet
She may say q shoe fits, with a
smile on her face, but her feet will be-
tray her. She'll sit with the soles
turned toward each other, or keep the
soles pressed tightly to the floor.
Again she may raise the soles from
the floor and press down with the
heels.
"Turned-in toes indicate restless

heel into the floor, nervousness By

Restoring Fatigued Muscles.
sIsusIsIg 9HgIaHsna

A very ingenious physiological
method of increasing the yield of la
Dor from any given group of muscles
is described in the Deutsche Revue,
According to an abstract in Die Um-
schau the author. TIL. Weber, claims
that in practice gain of from % to
40 per cent is obtainable in the
amount of work done. The device Is
extremely simple. When the given
group OF muscles has reached the
point of exhaustion, due to the ac-
emulation of the products of fatigue.
they are allowed to rest, while an en-
tirely different muscle group is set to
work vigorously. The energetic con-
traction of these muscles causes an
increase in heart action and circula-
ton, and the strengthened current Of
blood thus sent to all parts of the
body partially restores the working
power of the first group of muscles
by carrying away fatigue toxins and
supplying oxygen.

The day was cloudless. Since dawn
no shadow had crossed the brazen
monotony of withered azure. Yet there
was darkness in the air as though light
had burned up light Itself. and tine
great ball of the sun had sunk behlnd
Il yellow. transparent veil OF smolder-
ing. scorching ruin. Suddenly to the
southeast the darkness gathered; the
formless gloom lowering above the
slow-moving line swept together ID
one stupendous shadow which rushed
down upon them. Colonel Destinn gal
loped furiously along the wavering.

Then it was upon them. The sun
was blotted out. The sand was every

hearts. 1t eddied round their feet.
mounting steadily to their knees, ana
around them there shrieked the hurri-

In that first moment Farquhar reeled
forward. instinctively fighting the gall

torture, then he dropped quietly to his
knees and waited for the end. He
heard the scream Of horse In terror.
and thud as Of something falling
close beside him, but he remained in

awaited the final consummation of his
release.
Then something touched him. He
awoke with curse Of resentful agony.
A hand had CROPPED through the dark
ness. 1t gripped him. and he dragged
himself to his feet, lifting the heavy.
invisible body with him. The sand
beat down upon them. He turned his
back to the storm. He stamped the
shifting whirling mass under his feet.
and with a woman's generous tender
ness sheltered the motionless unknown
man against his shoulders No word
was spoken. Eternities of suffering.
in which each moment was the last,
