and silently stalked his fellow
passenger.
Straight to the Wire-Silver

old buildings were dark, but the
new and implanted ones were
brilliantly lighted, and there were
sounds familiar enough to Judson.

breath, "if that engine amt a

But there was no time to spare,
the man Judson was stalking had
already disappeared into Flemis-
ter's office, the second of the new
implanted buildings.
Judson crept close to the build
ing. The figure of a man sitting
in chair was sharply silhouetted
on the drawn window shade. Jud-
son stared, rubbed his eyes, and
stared again. That the man whose
shadow was projected upon the
window shade was Rankin Hal

there was something in the erect,
bulking figure unfamiliar.

which she presented her compan-

man. Miss Eleanor has been tell

here in the Red Desert. By Jove!

to try 1t while myself. It's
ages since I've had q chance to

Lidgerwood laughed, recognize
ing Miss Brewster's romancing
gift, or the results of 1t.
I'VE shall have to arrange a
little roundup of the bad men
from Bitter Creek for you, Mr..
Van Lew. l hope you brought
your armament along-the regu-
lation ass, and all that"
Miss Brewster laughed deris-
lively.
Don't let him discourage you,
Herbert" she Knocked. Bitter
Creek is in Wyoming-or is 1t in

eye-stab for Lidgerwood.
A moment later Lidgerwood
succeeded in getting away, and up
to luncheon hour talked copper
and copper prospects to Mr.. Berw-
ster in the seclusion of the Dresi-
dents office compartment.

Eleanor.
And then came the telegram
from President Brewster that he,
accompanied by "some friends"
expected to make tour of the
Red Butte Western. Lidgerwood
was on the platform waiting, the
day the Nadia, Brewster's private
cad, rolled in.
Brewster alone left the car.
Hello, Howard" he called.
Climb up into the Nadia and
we'll give you luncheon. That
Ought to tempt any man who has
to live in Angels the year round"
Lfdgerwood accepted the invita-
ton. Mr.. Brewster opened the car
door, and the superintendent fol-
lowed him across the threshold.
The comfortable lounging-room
of the Nadia was not empty; nor
was 1t peopled by a group of Mr..
Brewster's business associates.
Seated on a wicker divan drawn
out to face one of the wide side
windows, was young woman,
with a curly-headed, clean-faced
young man beside her. A little
farther along, a rather austere
lady, Mrs. Brewster, in fact,
looked up from her magazine to
say, "Why, Howard. Mr.. Brew
ster has been fooling us. He told
us just a minute ago we were
miles from Angels"
And in the farthest corner Of
the open compartment, facing
each other companionably in an
50 shaped double chair, were
two other young people-a man
and woman. Truly. the
heavens had fallen! For the young
woman filling half of the tete-a-
tete chair was that one person
whom Lidgerwood would have
circled the globe to avoid meet
ing.
Taking his cue from certain
passages in the book of painful
memories, Lidgerwood meant to
obey his first impulse, which
prompted him to follow Mr.. Brew
ster to the private office state
room in the forward end of the
car, disregarding the couple on
the tete-a-tete contrivance. But
the triumphantly beautiful young
woman would by no means sane
ton any such easy solution of the
difficulty.

Mueller Defense Rests in
jamestown Murder Case

Jamestown, July 24.-District court
closed Saturday evening with the
cross examination of DR.. Coulbert,
formerly Of the North Dakota state
hospital for the insane.
The states contention is that if
John Mueller was taken with epileptic
fits, following the insulting remark of
Valentine Hins, he would not have
shot the family the way he did, be-
cause of the commissions and motor in
activity caused by the fits. But the
witness attempted to bring out the
fact that there is sort of mental or
psychic epilepsy which attacks a per-
son and causes him to be insane sev-
eral minutes before he is taken with
the convulsions. It is this kind of
epilepsy that the defense claims John
Mueller was suffering with when he
committed the crime.
Monday morning at 9:30 court
convened and DR.. Peake was called
upon the stand. He testified that the
defendant in this case had mental or
psychic epilepsy as far as he could
judge from examinations of the per-
son, and assuming the testimony of
the witnesses for the defense to be
true.
The state rsted at 3:15 p. m. and
the long trial appeared drawing to an
end with the closing arguments of
counsel.
