Isaacs gathered up the cards. shut

When it was completed he looked at
Lent and said: "Well?"
Get me a good stiff drink of whis-
ky, call a taxicab, and then I'll bet
you," said Lent.
Isaacs brought the whisky and step
ped to the telephone.
Tell them not to stop the motor,
I'll be right down. Lent called out.
A moment later Isaacs hung up the
receiver and returned to his office.
Whats your proposition" said the
gambler.
Cash in these chips first" ordered
Lent
Isaacs did so.
"Now," said Lent, "I'll bet you a
thousand dollars on the first turn Of
the cards.

Isaacs.
Lent went through his pockets and
stacked column of gold ON the Ia

Isaacs shrugged his shoulders. wen

"You are putting me to a lot of troa.

your money anyway
The noise of the taxi was heard as
il drew up to the curb below
Are your" cried Lent, slipping a
revolver out of his pocket. Throw
up your handsl Up with them!"
Lent stepped close and felt around
the gamblers rear pockets. Nov take
off your coat-take it Off" he repeat
ed quickly. Now you dirty robber,
I'm going to give you a taste of your
own medicine. Put up your hands!"
Lent transferred his gun from right
to left hand, stepped close again, and
putting all the power he-could muster
into the blow, sent the right fist crash
ing into the stomach of the short, fat
man in front of him.
Isaacs crumpled to the floor with a
gasp. Lent was on top of him in an
instant and choked him until he grew
blue in the face. Then he whisked
a small coil of wire and pair of pliers
from his coat pocket, rolled the gam
bier over and first bound his ankles
and then his wrists behind him. Next
he showed his handkerchief in Isaacs'
mouth and tied the gamblers own
handkerchief over it.
Still working rapidly he rifled the
open safe of everything that looked
like money, dumped gold and bank
notes in the Tuxedo coat, rolled the
whole thing up, cast final glance az
Isaacs, let himself out of the building
jumped in the front seat of the taxi
and cried: Let her go!"

dashing out from the doorway oppo-
site.
But the taxi did not stop.

Present indications are that
the Bottineau County Fair this
year will be the biggest and
the best county fair ever held
in the state. On account of
the organization of the Grain
Belt circuit of the fairs, special
entertainment features of a
far higher class than in
former years are made possible.
With the splendid conditions
of the grains, grasses and vege-
tables, the agricultural exhibits
should be far superior to those
of former years. Applications
for stall reservations in the live
stock departments are already
coming in thick and fast, 80
that the exhibits in this de-
Dartment will doubtless be big
ger than ever before. The
dates of the fair are July Goth
and 26th.

to the effect that the boys farm

Quoted this week, is a big sue
cess and tina: the boys are not
only having a highly enjoyable
time, b"t also securing a lot of
valuable information. The
tour is being made by automo-

tons have contributed to it's
success.
Crop conditions continue to
be ideal throughout Bottineau
county. While there has been
little precipitation during the
past week, it has been ideal
growing weather. Wheat and
oats are now heading out nice
