, One Sunday afternoon last sum
mer some friends, my sister and |
went out to Child's Point in an auto
mobile. On the way out we had to go
up and down several steep hills, but
it was a very nice ride just the same.
When we got there we gathered
some flowers. We found many violets,
both yellow and purple, and many
sweet williams.
On a steep hill i'll zone place we
saw all kinds of flowers. We we're very
anxious to get them, so we started
to run and could hardly stop. After we
had our arms full of different kinds of
wild flowers we started to the top Of
the hill again and although it was
hard to get there we finally made it.
While we were busy gathering flow
ers we did not notice how black the
sky was getting, but when we got out
of the thick woods we saw that the
sky was very black and also that it
was laundering and lightning.
We were quite way from home
and we knew we would have to hurry,
so we quickly jumped into the auto
mobile and started. At first it just
sprinkled, but after a while it began
to rain very hard. After long and un-
pleasant ride we arrived home and
we were certainly glad to get there.

watch him as he departs, feeling that
he has now become the leader of the
criminal band.
Strong goes to Beverly's home and
tells of the happenings and of Jane
Warren's accident. They decide to
devote some attention to Jane and
visit her in the hospital.
Zulph is unable to convince his
henchmen that The Great Master was
dead until they had seen him in the
casket. He takes them to the tomb
where the body is lying and they are
satisfied. The other members of The
Secret Seven Council receive the news
of his death from his servant.
As first part of the plot to get
Zulph the hospital physician-in-charge
telephones to him that before losing
consciousness Jane Warren had asked
that if any operation was necessary to
permit Zulph to perform it. Sears
and his assistant visit the hospital and
complete all arrangements to trap
Zulph.
Zulph arrives and the nurse escorts
him to Jane Warren's bedside, where
he makes a diagnosis. As he looks
at her bandaged head he thinks of his
past and how he has tried to make
her do his bidding. In her delirium
Jane mutters: Il must tell, | will
tell" Zulph, fearing exposure, de-
cides that he will perform the opera
ton in such manner that her death
will be certain.
Meantime Sears and his assistants
have arranged their trap for Zuiph
and have hidden in clothes lockers in
the room where he dons his surgeons
garb. Strong, Beverly and the real
surgeon of the hospital, DR., Morgan,
are in hiding elsewhere. The patient
is taken from the bed to the operat-
ing table. Zulph, as he washes his
hands before putting 'on his anti-sep-
tic gloves, pauses to look in the mir
ror to see if his face betrays any
weakness. He rests his hands on the
basin and then goes to make the op-
Grafton.
The moment he has gone Sears and
his assistant emerge and take the
finger prints he has left on the basin.
They seem to have something ex-
tremely interesting, for both express
confidence. At the operating table
DR.. Zulph looks carefully at the
nurses and prepares to operate in
such a manner that Jane Warren will
pass into eternity.

WHEN BILL NYE WAS SHERIFF

To nearly every one the name OF
Bill Nye brings the picture of a gen.
ial, fun-loving man whose jokes were
once famous all over the country; but
to those who lived in Wyoming some
thirty years ago Bill Nye means
something else, too.
At that time Nye had begun to be
famous throughout the United States
as editor of the Laramie Boomerang,
but he was chiefly known-and feared
nearer home as sheriff of Laramie
county.
Sheriff Nye was absolutely fearless.
He was resolute, decisive, quick to
act and tireless in pursuing offenders.
He failed to get his man on only one
occasion, and that failure was due to
the tenderness of heart that was al
ways a part of his character.
Nye started out once after typical
bad man who had shot or stabbed
some one, and quickly learned that he
had fled to the mountains. Wyoming
was a pretty wild territory back in
the early eighties, and it was diff
cult and dangerous to follow the trail
of that criminal and attempt to arrest
him, but Nye never hesitated. Sum-
moning deputy, the sheriff sprang
on his horse and the two started off.
After riding nearly 200 miles into the
wilderness they learned that their man
was hiding in an abandoned miners
cabin, whittier he had brought his
young wife.
Soon after darkness fell Nye quietly
rode up to the cabin and dismounted
before the door. He sent his deputy
round to guard the rear of the little
shack. Then Nye threw open the door
and dashed inside, with his revolver
cooked and ready for instant action.
The criminal was asleep on the bed,
and his wife, who sat close by. was
stroking his forehead! Nye covered
them both with his gun and told them
to throw up their hands.
i've got you" he said grimly.
Now you get up quietly and come
;long-the lady can stay here if she
chooses
The bad man admitted that the
game was up and began to roll his
blanket into a bundle. Never mind
that said Nye; we've got plenty of
blankets in the place you're going to-"
The desperate then asked if he
couldn't say goodby to his wife.
Il reckon it's the last time I'll ever
see her." he continued. You've got
the goods on me this time, sheriff
and | reckon I'll swing for it"

I am going to tell you about our
trip to Coney Island when we were
in New York four years ago. We
went one night and rode on the ele-
waited railroad for long time until
we came to city sparkling with
lights, high towers and buildings.
We got off the car and my aunt
bought long string of tickets for
,admittance to nearly every show.
First we went to the animal show
There were monkeys, gorillas, tigers,
lions, opossums, elephants; in fact
every kind of animal was there from
far and near.
After we had looked at them for
a while we went on the ocean wave"
1t was made so the ground moved
and rolled like the sea. We went
around in little cars just like automo-
biles.
My story is getting long so | will
tell you just one more thing and will
continue it next Sunday.
The next show we went to was
"The Omaha Tornado" We went INTO
a theater and took seats. By and by
the curtain arose displaying tiny
city. representing Omaha. Then all
of a sudden the sky became dark
and a low rumbling was heard, A
binding flash of lightning came, an
other rumble and a tiny freight train
ran across the stage marked North
western" Soon it bacamc so dark
that we could not see anything. Then
the roar of the wind was heard and
loud rumbling,
When the second scene was
shown all the houses were torn to
pieces and bricks and timber were
scattered all over, Soon the sky
cleared and the curtain went down.
We all clapped loud and long.
This is my last ten-year-old story
for my birthday is tomorrow. My
next story will be entitled "Our Trip

so fast that it became harder and
harder.
The harder it became the hotter it
was, until at last it was like a great
soft, hot ball of fire.
This ball of fire gradually cooled on
the outside, leaving a great rocky
crust, which broke up into what we
call our soil and sand and rocks.
Iii the soil God planted grass and
trees and vegetables and then put peo-
pie and animals on the earth.
