box In the top drawer OF the dresser.

lock. In that, | was sure. he would
put the Jewels IL he ever wanted 10
more them. There was no s,gn OF the
bill OF sale. It occurred 20 me. then,
that Captain Hanska might be carry
ing It on his person. | knew him to
be very sound sleeper-he had boast
ed TO me OF that, and he proved it BY
sleeping through a fire at his hotel
when he was in Port of Spain. So
did dangerous thing Without speak
ing TO Juan. | went down the fire es-
care ct two O'Clock in the morning OF
a night when Captain Hanska was at
home, and looked through his pockets.
even examined all the papers in his
wallet by the light OF the electric
torch. But il was not there. Juan,
when I told him. was angry with me
for taking such a risk He made me
promise never to enter the room
again unless Captain Hanska was
away.
And then We found that We must
act quickly, or lose our property for
ever. Juan was watching Captain
Hanska- following his movements
very closely. That day-the day and
night when everything happened-the
captain visited a teweler In Maiden
Lane-I think you call IT. He stayed
long time, From there he went TO a
safe deposit bank. When he came out.
he had a package a his pocket-Juan
could see his coat bulge. Juan was
afraid that he would go straight back
10 the jeweler and make the sale; and
then our last hope would have hcc...
gone Instead. Capta'- iIanska went
TO a cafe az sat alone a long time.
A-..--nIng. When he left that place. he
returned to Mrs. Moore's. And the
shape OF his pocket showed that he
still carried the package.
IT was plain to US that the package
contained the Jewels. and that he in.
tended to dispose OF them at once
probably the next morning That night
IL was our last chance. Juan came to
see me ;.st after dinner We talked il
all over. and made our final plans. In
the first place. il seemed best for
Juan to DO the work himself. ! Am a
xoman, and very weak with grief and
Illness ] could do nothing in case
was discovered. Though Juan had
never been in the roop 1 could tell
him exactly where tc look-there
seemed 70 doubt that Captain Han
ska was keeping the strong box for
shat very purpose.
Then We considered another thing
how we should both get away At
frst we decided that should leave
the house early. and that Juan. after
getting the jewels, should follow Eie.
But he did not dare to make the at
tempt before one or two O'Clock in the
morning. when Captain Hanska would
surely be asleep--even the heaviest

time after they go to bed. Mrs. Moore.

Of running TO her door whenever any

Some uncertainty over the state
seemst to 5eNjsflas to who are the legal
members OF the county central COM
mittees.. and afso who has the authori-
ty to call a meeting of such committee.
The attorney, general has consequently
made an official ruling on the subject,
and says In part:
), .sInsny epinibn the precinct commit
teemen elected at the primary cleo
ton held In May, 1916, constitute the
county, central, committee. The stat
ute does not specifically cover this
, point, nor is, it specifically stated in
the statute what constitutes the state
central committee. But the practice
has always been for the different po-
! litical parties to have a county com
mittee composed of one committee
man from each county. The statute
provides for the election of these com
mitteemen from the different pre-
, cincts and from the different counties,
and seems to leave it to inference
that these committeeman so elected
make zap the, county and state commit
tees, Section lS5 of the primary law
provides thatithc chairman of the coun-
ty central committee shall be selected
by the candidates, but that the treas
urer shall be, selected by the commit
tee. This Is a clear intimation that
the candidates are not a part of the
committee, and in my opinion this is
the. 4reper Interpretation to be placed
on the law"
There being no special provision in

Cut Meats Name CHANGED.

Rapid City.-Congressman Harry l.,
Candy has taken up for the people of
Cut Meat, a town in Todd county, the
petition signed by them asking for
a new name for the town, and has re-
ceivcd notice from the postoflce de-
partment at Washington that in the
future the town will be known as Wo,
$3.50, the name the people had selected.
The people of the town objected to the
name of Cut Meat because people had
been prone to treat it as a joke and
had held several indignation meetings
to get action on getting a new name.
With the new name they hope that the
town will outlive its former suggestive
a~ppendage. Wososo is Sioux Indian
for Cut meat.
