METAL BEAULIEU was still wide

had inherited the mercurial tempera-

Now and then in the night the
smoky o.flamp had given signal to
those who travelled along the Monarda
highway that some one was awake
within Beaulieus house. They had
beaten upon the door and shouted I'm

bar. Beaulieu growled oaths and sat
with fingers thrust into his gray hair,
his palms against his ears.

came out of the walls and nosed wa

Philip rose slowly. He felt cold. He
put on his coat and cap, and buckled
on his revolver. His face was deadly
white when he turned to MacDougall

I saw her come out Of the edge Of

Philip walked to the door.

In the deep shadows outside he
stood gazing at the light in Thorpe's
cabin. Then he walked slowly toward
the spruce. He did not go TO the door.
but leaned with his back against the
building, near one Of the windows. The
first shuddering sickness had gone
from him. His temples throbbed. At
the sound Of a voice inside which was
Thorpe's the chill in his blood turned
to fire. The terrible fear that had
fallen upon him at MacDougall's words
held him motionless., and his brain
worked upon but one idea--one deter.
mination. If it was Jeanne who came
in this way, he would kill Thorpe. If it
was another woman, he would give
Thorpe that night to get out Of the
country. He waited He heard the
gang-man's voice frequently, once in a
loud. half-mocking laugh. Twice he
heard a lower voice-a woman's. For
an hour he watched. He walked back
and forth in the gloom of the spruce,
and waited another hour. Then the
light went out, and he slipped back to
the corner Of the cabin.

hand fell upon her arm the woman
turned upon him with a frightened
cry. Philips hand dropped. He took
step back.

His voice was husky, like a choking
mans. For an instant Jeanne's white,
terrified face met his own. And then,
without word to him, she fled swiftly
down the trail.
Philip made no effort to follow For
two or three minutes he stood like a
man turned suddenly into, hewn rock,
staring with unseeing eyes into the
gloom where Jeanne had disappeared.
Then he walked back to the edge of
the spruce. There he drew his re-
volver and cooked it. The starlight
revealed a madness in his face as he
approached Thorpe's cabin. He was
smiling, but it was such smile as
presages death, smile as impiacable
as fate itself.

CHAPTER XXI

A S PHILIP approached the cabin he
"A saw a figure stealing away
through the gloom. His first thought
was that he had returned a minute
too late to wreak his vengeance upon
the gang.foreman in his own home,
and he quickened his steps in pursuit.
The man ahead of him was cutting
direct for the camp supply-house,
which was the nightly rendezvous Of
those who wished to play cards or
exchange camp gossip. The supply
house, aglow with light, was not more
than 200 yards from Thorpe's,
and Philip saw that If he dealt out
the justice he contemplated he had
not a moment to lose. He began to
run, so quickly that he approached
within a dozen PAGES of the man he
was pursuing without being heard. 1t
was not until then that he made a
discovery which stopped him. The
man ahead Of him was not Thorpe.
Suddenly. looking beyond him, he saw
second figure pass slowly through
the lighted door Of the supply-house.
Even at that distance he recognized
the gang-foreman. He thrust his re-
volver under his coat and fell a little
further behind the man he had mis-

SUNNY SLOPE FARMER
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Stalls Automobile in Face of Caldwell
Traction Car but Suffers Only
Minor Injuries.

O. w. Collins of Sunny Slope, while
driving new Buick car Wednesday
morning, lost control Of his machine
on the Sunny Slope hill and was
struck by a passenger car on the Cald-
we'll Traction company line. 1t ap-
pears that Mr. Collins, who is about
90 years of age, saw the car approach
ing, heard the whistle and in some
way stopped his car when it was
exactly across the track.
While the machine was a toal
wreck and Mr.. Collins was thrown
bodily from it. he sustained only minor
injuries. He was bruised about the
arms, legs and body but was able al
most Immediately to resume work in
a nearby bayfield, The Traction car
was going down the Sunny Slope
grade while Mr.. Collins was driving
toward it. He endeavored to stop his
machine but was unable to do so until
he stalled the engine while on the
track.
The accident occurred about 1880
o'clock Wednesday morning. 1t is be-
lievcd that Mr.. Collins was not famil-
lar with operating the automobile
which he was driving.

Manager Jack Vining of the Cald-
well "Kids" has sent communication
to Burley asking that aggregation for
a game to be played in Caldwell should
that team come to Boise in the near
future to play championship SERIES
Vining feels that Boise has not given
him an opportunity to show the real
merits of this team and the fact that

tenders by the unholy score of to 2

nate that his kids" can clean Boise if
only they are given an opportunity.
Should Burley come here local fans
will see a high grade brand of ball.
Burley, during the early summer, was
a consistent winner in the Twin Falls
section and has an aggregation of
former Coast League stars. The game
will probably be played some week
day but Manager Vining believes that

propositions; they can take so per

Caldwell has walloped Nampa two
games in the three game series. Should
Nampa win the third game of their
series with Boise Sunday, Vining be-
lieves that Boise can do little enough
by answering his repeated challenges
for another crack at the championship
claimants.

thorough canvass of the city in sys-

large number of new members and
also procuring renewals from a num-
Der of persons who have allowed their

Solicitation, for membership dues
is meeting with a ready response" Mr..
Erwin said Thursday. practically
everyone has indicated interest in the
work of the club. Good business con-

lated the possibilities of activity for
the organization"
Application for a local athletic club

who was responsible for the Inaugural
ton of the movement to bring first

GLOBE THREE TINES IN

James K. Stotts, veteran loop" re-
porter for The Evening Capital News.
in summarizing his travels during the
three years and four months that he
has been patronizing the lnterurban
lines in the interest of Caldwell and
other loop towns, concludes that he
has travelled in excess of 10000 miles.
This is almost enough TO have taken
him around the world on three jaunts
and he has never left the Boise Val
ley!
On the regular mileage basis, his
rambles have cost the publication for
which he has operated about $2,ll6
During that time Jimmy has de-
voted approximately 5lo0 columns to
news of the hterurban section OF the
Boise Valley. A large proportion of
this space has dealt with the marvel
GUS advances made in Canyon county
through the medium of livestock, agri-
culture, manufacturing and farm bu-
reau activities. He has also given con
siderable space to the College of Ida
no and other local institutions.
Based on the regular advertising
rates, Jimmy" estimates that he has
given the 'loop" district through the
free medium of news columns of ode
velopment" stories, advertising in ex-
cess of $4,000 in value. This does not
include space taken through the med
ium of three ANIMALS" which he has
produced
Figured on an hour basis, Mr..
Stotts has spent in excess of 300
hours riding to and from Boise on the
Interurban. This is approximately 1870
days or almost AZ months of
"Jimmy's" life which has been spent in
the interests of Canyon county pound
ing over the rails.

of the council and James Boone, city
attorney, was instructed to draft a
contract for the city and traction COM
pany to sign. The matter will prob
ably be disposed OF at the next meet
ing of the council.
Might Withdraw Lines.
Some apprehension had Dcen ietl
that the Boise Valley Traction COM
pany who had protested the paving
district prior to the city bonding elcc-
ton, might be instituting proceedings
to permanently withdraw their lines
from Cleveland boulevard because OF
the large amount the company will he
obliged to pay as its share of the
paving charges.
Warrens Construction company,
which has the paving contract, was
understood to be contemplating dis
continuance of their work until the
controversy which would have arisen,
was settled. Their point was that the
bonding houses which purchased the
paving bonds might decide that the
action of the interurban company in
validated the issue and that legal COM
plicaitons might develop.
Will Continue on Cleveland.
Apparently from thH request
which Mr.. Dalton submitted to
the council Monday evening, no
such action on the part of the In
terurban company was contem-
plated. It is assumed that now
no effort will be made to per-
manently transfer their lines from
Cleveland boulevard to Arthur
street
Other matters which came before
the council were of detail only. Bills
Tor July were allowed. Ross Madden
was appointed member of the library
board. The Caldwell Lumber com
pany was given permission to install
scales in front of their place OF
business on Kimball avenue. Resi-
dents from the southeast district OF
Caldwell appeared before the council
with a request that the city water
system be extended to that section
ms matter was referred to the proper
committee. The appropriation ordi-
nance for $o4,976 was passed and the
appointment of Joseph Smith as band
master confirmed.

Nogales with the Second Idaho from
July. 1916 until January, 1917. In
April of 1917 they were mobilized
again at Boise preparatory to leaving
