When Tom and came to look over
the ground with View to finding a
burial place for the dead realized

snuggery nights that seemed SO, re-
mote and far away-on the nature of
the soil which would have to be gone

"Why Tom," said, "there isn't a
wheelbarrow load of real soil in a
square mile. We couldn't dig grave
for dog in stuff like this" and, as 1
spoke, the pewterlike rock under my
feet changed and echoed with metal

So next morning we went at It

again, and then on the fourth day,
when our week was drawing to it's
close. something at last happened to
change the grim monotony Of our days.
It was shortly after the lunch hour.
Tom and I, who were now working too

I fired. Still no answer. I was on the

First we went over our stores, and,
thanks to those poor dead mouths that
did not need to be reckoned with any
more, we had plenty OF everything to-
last us for at least q month, not to
speak Of fishing, at which Tom was an
expert. s.,
When, however. we turned tosour
plans for the treasure hunting we
soon came to a dead stop. The indi-
cations given by Tobias seemed, In the
face Of such terrain, naive to a de-
gree. Possibly the land had changed
since his day. Some little, OF course,

while he waited he came down the hill

thought 1t was the end. But he said {:

afraid the captain and the law be-

"The beginning of the price?"

is getting busy. And it makes me
think that we're coming pretty near

had all this happen. Mark me, the
treasures near by-or the ghost
wouldn't be SO malicious"

Schools Open Up

Schools in Ordway were commenced
on Monday of this week with the
grades in various temporary quarters
and the senior and Junior high school
grades in the barracks. Considering
the fact that the teachers and pupils
have had so much to contend with
this winter everything started off
nicely and on Tuesday the pupils
were down to their studies. having
been given their assignments on
Monday. The school work for the
pupils and teachers alike will have
to be done under a certain amount
of difficulties and inconveniences, but
then Superintendent Ross has planned
the work and made the arrangements
which seem to work we'll.
The grades are cared for in various
other buildings. The first grade is
in the Baptist church. The second
in the Evangelical church. third in
the Methodist church, fourth in the
Christian church, with the fifth and
sixth in the Odd Fellows hall in the
Foley building. The Junior and SEN
ior high pupils are located in the
barracks.
The work lost during the long
closed period cannot be made up this
winter by the grades, but the work
of the senior high will probably all
be made up during the balance of the
school year. One of the ways in
which lost work is being gained is
the increased school period each day.
The high school students are called
to studies at 8:45 and are held until
O'Clock in the afternoon, gaining
one full hour each day. By this ar
rangement each week will see very
marked gain in making up the lost
time. 1t is likely, too, that the high
school work will be continued for
month after the regular closing per-
iod next spring. In this way the full
time lost will have been gained.
