There would have been no object in
killing the dumb man, and so there
would have been an expert with load

Muhammad Amin came-like the
devil, to scotch Kings faith. He had
followed the women with the loads.
He stood now, like a big bear on a
mountain track, swaying his head from
side to side six feet away. King

''Let him go!' groWled Muhammad
Amin. "Go, thou! Stand guard over

The mullah turned a rifle this way
and that in his paws, like great bear
dancing. The very Orakzai Pathan
who had sat next King in the Cavern
of Earth's Drink, was creeping up be-
hind the women and already had his
rifle teveled at the man with boils.
"Ayer' said the mullah, watching
Kings eyes. 'He has done well, and
the road is clear!"
The man with boils offered no fight.
He dropped his rifle and threw his
hands up. In moment the Orakzai
Pathan was in command of two rifles,
holding King from among the women,
whom he seemed to regard as his plum
der too. The women appeared SUI
premely Indifferent in any event. King
nodded back to him. A friend is a
friend in the sHills," and rare is the
man who spares his enemy.
"None comes to earn living In the
Hills" growled the mullah, swaying
his head slowly and devouring King
with cruel calculating eyes. "Why art
thou here?"'

'"Thy man said it," answered King.
"Then hear mer said the mullah.
"Listen, thou" But he did not begin
to speak yet. He tried to see past King
into the cave and to peer about into
the shadows.

three men and letter to carry down

BOYS AND GIRLS ASKED
TO TELL OF WAR GARDENS

Over fifty boys and girls joined
the garden clubs in Colville and grew
war gardens this summer. Then
there were others who produced veg
etables in gardens of their own, who
did not belong to the club. 1t
would be interesting to know just
what was accomplished by the boys
and girls in the production of food.
If every boy or girl who grew or
helped to grow garden this year,
will write and tell about this garden
and its harvest, the best letters will
be published in the Colville Exami-
ner. Now is good time to write
those letters, for there is no school.
Send them in before Wednesday,
October 80, and address them to
"News Editor" Colville Examiner.
Let US find out what the boys and
girls of Colville and vicinity did this
year to help produce food. Tell how
you planted your garden, how you
cared for it and what you did with
your harvested crop.

MARCUS HAS EPIDEMIC OF
SEVERE INFLUENZA

1t is improbable that the schools,
theaters and public meeting places
will be open this coming week. DR..
|. S. Clark, county health officer,
stated Thursday that the Spanish in
fluenza situation was just about the
same in regard to the number of
cases. New cases are being report
ed each day, but the total number
keeps about the same as patients re-
cover.
Marcus has been attracting notice
of late because of the severity of the
cases reported from there. There
are some fifty cases and it became
necessary to open the old hospital at
Marcus, but it has been found diff
cult to secure nurses to care for the
patients. Three Marcus influenza
patients are in the Colville hospitals.
C. A. La Schelle, proprietor of the
Great Northern cafe at Marcus, died
Wednesday morning of influenza, the

Notice will be given some time to-
day as to whether the schools will be
open next week. If the schools are
not open, children are being advised
to make the most of their time. The
boy or girl who neither studies nor
works during this time is more or
less a Stacker. If students do not
want time to drag on their hands,
they must fill those idle minutes
with something worth while. Many
of the country pupils are helping
harvest and store away vegetables
for winter.
The effect of the quarantine as far
as home life is concerned is of inter
est. There has been an increased
call for books and magazines to
take the place of the moving picture
shows and pool rooms, while the old
checkerboards and other games are
being brought out from the store

both the state and the defendant each
side announced ready and the case
proceeded. Then followed the selec-
ton of jury of IL men from the
special venire of rs summoned. The

lected from the body of the court
