Hugo Chevet.
I nerved myself to the effort, and
turned the body sufficiently to enable
me to discover the wound-he had
been pierced by a knife from behind;
had fallen, no doubt, without uttering
cry, dead ere he struck the ground.
Then it was murder, foul murder, a
blow in the back. Why had the deed
been done? What spirit of revenge,
Of hatred, Of fear, could have led to
such an act? ! got again to my feet,

until I was safely in the priests gar

INDICATIONS are that the cattle

position of its kind in America this
year. Last year the Hamline cattle
show was the largest in the country,

The splendid crop conditions in the
Northwest, and the greater attention
which is being paid to pure-bred live

taken in the cattle show at the Min

CHAPTER Xii.
The Murder of Chevet


Who had killed him? Whae should
do? These were the two questions
haunting my mind, and becoming more
and more insistent. The light still
burned in the mission house, and
could picture the scene within - the
three priests reading, or talking softly
to each other, and Cassion asleep on
his bench in the corner, wearied with
the day.
1 could not understand, could not
imagine cause, and yet the assassin
must have been D'Artigny How else
could I account for his presence there
In the night, his efforts at conceal
ment, his bending over the dead body,
and then hurrying away without
sounding an alarm. The evidence
and yet would not condemn. There
might be other reasons for his 81
lence, for his secret psasence, and II
1 rushed into the house, proclaiming
my discovery and confessing what |
had seen, he would be left without
defense.
Shrinking, shuddering at every
shadow, at every sound, my nerves
throbbing with agony, I managed to
drag my body up the logs, and in
through the window. Twas safe there,
but there was no banishing from men,
DRY what l had seen-what 1 knew
lay yonder in the wood shadow. I
sank to the floor, clutching the sill, my
eyes staring through the moonlight
Once l thought I saw mans indis-
tinct figure move across an open space,
and once I heard voices far away.
1 do not know that I was called,
yet when I awoke faint light pro-
claiming the dawn was in the sky,
and sounds of activity reached my
ears from the room below. felt tired
and cramped from my unnatural posi-
ton, but fastened to join the others.
The morning meal was already on the
table, and we ate as usual, no one

body had not been discovered. could
scarcely choke the food down, antici.
pating every instant the sounding Of
an alarm. Cassion hurried, excited, no
doubt, by the prospect Of getting away
on our journey, but seemed in excel

which he sat he buckled his pistol belt,
seized his hat and strobe to the door.

briefly. $50 will leave you here to

there will be more entries in the Pig

Big Draft Show.
The show of draft horses is to be
larger than for several years. A num-
ed the Northwest are coming this
year to show their wares to lovers of
horses. Farmers are being urged to
attend the State Fair and make their
arrangements for any pure-bred mares
and stations they intend to buy. An
effort will be made to present an un-
usual opportunity of studying types
and breeds of horses, SO farmers may
be more familiar with the kinds of
horses which bring the most money on
the market.
AS formerly all stock will be Judged
