 "I wish you safety" she replied. He stood down in the road, and watched her shadowy figure threading its way along the garden paths. He had wild impulse to run after her, to kneel in the earth at her feet and cry out for her old tenderness, for her wist- ful-eyed earesses. Then, into his sus- pieious young heart crept the vision of Elinor's face when he had planned his new. coup.
 "I shall warn him." she had said.
 Huff's mouth was hard as he turned and walked down the hill.

He shrugged his shoulders. The chief

He shrugged his shoulders. The chie1 was skeptical of his ignorance, never the less. He humored what he chose to consider Boroday's whim. First he gave him the note which he had re- ceived by special delivery the day be- fore. Quick as he was, the Russian could not quite conceal his astonish. ment.
 Tn the aims box !" said the chief, Somebody with sense of humor had charge of this little affair. Bryant is senior warden, 1t seems, in this church It was clever"
 Boroday passed the letter back tt him.
 q shall tell my confreres. It is quite original"
 The chief was smoking large cigar. Unlike the police chief of fiction and the drama, he did not speak around the cigar, but carefully removed it, not out of respect to his visitor, but out of deference to good cigar. Now he leaned toward Boroday.
 Either" he said slowly, ''it was clever, or it was necessary"
 But the Russian had himself well in hand. He only smiled.
 Tt has occurred to me-" the chief went on, that that little town has been pretty busy lately. There was that matter of the country club, you know and last Thursday night the parish house burned down.
 "Yes," said Boroday, politely.
 And now something else has hap pened and" Suddenly the chief beat his desk with his fist-''I am pretty sick of it.'
 Under perfect control as he was al critical moments, the Russians hands had a way of twitching. So now he fiicked the ash from his cigarette anG was politely interested.
 What happened last night?' he in quired.
 T think you know. If you don't I'll tell you. Yesterday morning q tremendous collection was taken un al the church of Saint Jude's to build q new parish house in place of the one that burned down. The rector has been away; the assistant rector took charge of the money"
 II sec"
 "Of course you see. What I would like to know Is why you fellows
 Boroday spread out his hands in his foreign way.
 ''I fear you give me great credit. do not deserve it.'
 Why you fellows" the chief went on resolutely. "waited to do this job until the rector, who is old and in firm, had gone away and left a husky young assistant in his place. And that isn't all I want to know"
 Tn any way that I can assist you
 "What the devil do you mean, yelled the chief, .by shooting a man down and then going away and leav. ing the money in his pockets? It's it's crude-it's wasteful!"

 CHAPTER xI.

The chief sent for Boroday early the next morning.
 You've turned the trick all right he said, grimly smiling.
 Boroday, as immaculate as ever, set tied his tie.
 "YeS?"
 ''Sit down." said the chief. Now that you know you're going, l suppose you're not in any particular hurry" Boroday ran his hand over his silky beard.
 II should like to get to a barber" "There is no great hurry, now,' said the chief, when Boroday was comfort.

.'hi :; CHAPTER x.

Into and through her garden Elinor walked quietly until she was safe from surveillance. Then she ran swiftly. ruthlessly across the flower beds, through the roses. The terrace was lighted. She avoided it, making de- tour that led by side entrance into old Hilary's library. For obvious req sons, old Hilary's private telephone was In a sOund-proof closet.
 Before Walter had taken hundred watchful paces down the road she had Ward at the other end of the line. What with running and terror, she could hardly speak. Once, long ago, she had heard a discussion be- tween Boroday and her father about the use of the telephone. Its sub- stance was that when the transmitter is held to the chest clear message may be sent, but with the effect of dis tance. She held the transmitter to her breast then, and 1t seemed to her that Ward must hear the throbbing of her heart.
 Hello, hello!" came his quick re- sponse.
 No need to ask who 1t was. She knew every infection of his voice.
 "This is--a friend" Elinor panted. 'T want to tell you something"
 "Yes?" Very ineisive now.
 } "Tonight-very soon--an attempt"
 She stopped. What was she doing? She, her fathers daughter, the head of the bandl By warning Ward she might be sending Walter to his death. A vision of old Hilary, gray-headed, ,keen-eyed, at this very telephone, flashed into her mind, old Hilary, whose religion had been of keeping the faith, not with his God, but with his smen.
 "Who are you?" The impatient voice was saying In her ears. Are you sure you want me? This is Ward, of Saint Jude's."
 Ellnor quietly hung up the telephone transmitter, and stood in the darkness, her hands to her throat.
 Old Henriette, ever watchful. came into the library beyond. Elinor could hear her wandering about, knew the moment when she discovered her wrap pn 0 chair, heard her plaintive voice speaking through window to the empty terrace.
 Miss Elinor," she called. Miss tElinor !"
 Elinor let her go. When her shuf fling footsteps had died away, Elinol took the receiver down again, ano called the assistant rector's house. But this time she spoke directly into tht transmitter.
 '.This Is Elinor Kingston, MT. Ward wonder if you are very tired to night2"
 "I? Tired? I'm never tired
 Because I am thinking of askini you to come up. I-there are some things l want to talk about, questions that are troubling me. l know It II Bate, but"
 T saw you at the early service. ol

parade down Main street that was
both striking and highly entertaining
to the spectators. The newlyweds
were seated on a sleigh drawn by two
mounfully caparisioned mules. Upon
one side of the coverings on the mules
was placarded "The Phagin Third De-
gree, "and on the other side, "Ma is
Sorry for Fred" To the rear of the
sleigh was attached long tail of tin
cans. The mules wore cowbells and
their natural ornaments. Following
the bridal equipage were friends (?)

STREET IMPROVEMENT
City Plans to Grade and Sand All
Streets.

The city council held a special
meeting Tuesday evening and discus
sed at length the condition of the
streets of Emmett and ways and
means to improve them. There is
no need to say that the streets are
in deplorable state; that is self evil
dent. 1t is proposed to create an
improvement district to cover the
entire city and to grade and sand all
the streets. The expense will be
distributed according to the frontage
and it is claimed the cost will be low.
The meeting was called to hear pro-
tests against the sidewalk district, but
none appeared and the project will be
taken up at once.
A resolution passed, naming Friday
Of each week as cleanup day and re-
quiring all Main street property own
srs to clean the street in front of
their premises. The city will haul
away the refuse free. The idea is u
good one.

.LETHA YOUNG MAN IN
FATAL ACCIDENT
John Russell Killed by Being
Thrown from Wagon When
Team Ran Away.

John Russell of Letha was so SER
iously injured Thursday evening that
he succumbed to his injuries. He was
the 17-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. R. Russell. Mr.. Russell is the
blacksmith of that town.
The accident took place on the
Moses Hess farm, where the unfortun-
ate young man was working. He had
been moving that day and was on his
way to the Hess home when the ac-
cident occurred. In using the mower
it was necessary to lengthen the tugs
of the horses harness. When the
horses we're hitched to the wagon the
young man forgot to shorten the tugs.
The result was that the tongue of the
wagon dropped from the neckyoke
and the team, becoming frightened,
ran away. Young Russell was thrown
over the front of the wagon when it
went into a ditch and the wagon ran
over his body. Death resulted three
hours later from internal injuries.
, John Russell was an Industrious
young man, of good habits and well
thought of in the Letha neighborhood.
His untimely death is a sad blow to
his parents and the deep sympathy of
the community will go out to them.
The funeral was held from the L. D.
church on Saturday and hi1rial was
n the Bramwell cemetery.

Enforcing Sunset Law

Game wardens have received in
structions to strictly enforce the sun
rise and sunset provisions Of the fed
eral game law, and Deputy Warden
Riggs is doing it. Reub Eaton is his
first victim and Judge Sutton fined
him $25. The law, as applied to Ida
no, is fool law and exception should
be made OF this state. II is intended
to prevent the slaughter of ducks by
professional pot hunters, who kill for
market in eastern states, using search
lights after night to blind the birds.
Here in Idaho the state law prohibits
killing for market and is not practiced.
