ANNOUNCEMENT.


II Is with considerable degree Of
pleasure that we are able to announce
that we are now proprietor. as well
as editor and manager of the Examin-
er. As has been generally known.
Judge Alfred Bulge has held the con-
trolling interest in the Examiner
plant for the past eleven years. Being
desirous OF purchasing home in
Boise, the Judge found it necessary
to dispose OF his interest in the paper
and yesterday We closed the deal for
the purchase of the same.
That we have made mistakes we do
materially affected by the change. For
the past fourteen years and half,
with the exception Of about year,
we have guided the destiny OF the
Examiner. How well we have sue
ceeded. we will leave for the public
to Judge During all OF these years
our business relations with the mer-
chants OF Montpelier have been very
pleasant, and we trust that they will
continue so In the future.
Tha we have made mistakes, we do
not doubt, but as the man who new
eF made mistake, has not yet been
born, the mistakes we have made
are not worrying US a whole lot.
That we have made some enemies, we
also admit. But our enemies, like
our mistakes, are not worrying us
for had we not made an enemy in II
years we would now feel as though
we had made q dismal failure In the
newspaper business. So far as we
are concerned we do not hold 9
grudge or i'll will against single
person in Bear Lake county.
In the future, as in the past, W.
will continue to advocate through th'
columns OF the Examiner, the thing
which we believe TO be for the bes
interests OF Montpelier and Beai
Lake county, and we will always b
ready to accept suggestions from
those who feel that some particular
enterprise should receive public at
tention, In fact, we invite the bust
ness men to express to us their idea
ON public matters that we may know
how they feel.
There have been many improve
ments I'm Montpelier in the past 4
years and we are proud to say that
number Of them we're brough
about through the efforts of the Ex
aminer. There are many other thing
we would like to see done, but o

these we viii write later.
Right now it will not be amiss 70
say that In purchasing the entire in
terest in the Examiner, we have as
sumed heavy obligation, and it will
be necessary for US TO call upon all
who are indebted to the paper on
subscription. or otherwise. to come
through with the coin. We have al
ways endeavored to publish paper
worthy OF the support Of the commu-
nifty. II there 10 a subscriber who
feels that the Examiner IL not worth
$500 q year. we hope that subscrib-
er will have manhood enough to tell
US so, pay us what he owes and have
his paper discontinued. In these
days OF high cost Of everything the
newspaper In hit as hard as any 9TH
er business In fact, hundreds Of
country newspapers nave gone to
the wall'' in the past two years be-
cause OF the increased cost of every
item that entered into the publication
of paper.
The sooner we are able to pay the
last dollar OF the obligation we as
sumed this week. the sooner we viii
be able to give our readers better
paper by the purchasing OF more and
better material with which to nc
complish this end.
We believe there is a good future
in store for Montpelier. and W.
backed that belief by assuming {
heavy obligation this week.

The special legislative committee
which was appointed to investigate
Chas. d. Moody's administration as
adjutant general OF Idaho. found.
among other things. that Moody trav-
eled something like 7s.261 miles dur

The expense of this globe-trotting
was, Of course, paid by the state. We

Now Prof. Garfield informs us
that gasoline won the war. Hereto

The Second Wayfarer Is Transformed.
O'DOwd returned late in the after
noon. He was in hurry to get back
to Green Fancy; there was no mis-
taking his uneasiness.
For the love of heaven, Barnes, get
her away from here as soon as pos
sible, and do It as secretly as you
cam" he said. II may as well tell you
that she is In more danger from the
government secret service than from
anyone up yonder."
"she may prefer to face the music,
O'Dowd. If I know her at all, she will
refuse to run away"
''Then yen have to kidnap her, I"
said the Irishman earnestly. "There
will be men swarming here from both
sides Of the border by tomorrow night
or next day. It's the gospel truth, and
Its going to be bad for all Of us If
we're here when they come"

CHAPTER XVIII.

Mr.. sprouse Continues to Be PerpIex-
Ing, but Puts His Nose TO the Ground.
Barnes was abroad early. He was
at breakfast when Peter Ames called
up. An inspiration seized him when
the chauffeur mentioned the wholesale
exodus: he hired Peter forthwith and
ordered him to report Immediately
with the car. He was going up to
Green Fancy for Miss Cameron's
wardrobe.
Two minutes after Peter drove up
to the Tavern he was on the way back
to Green Fancy again. and seated be-
side him was Thomas Klngsbury
Barnes, his new master.
There was not a sign Of human life
about the place. Peter accompanied
him upstairs to the room recently oe-
cupied by Miss Cameron.
They found two small leather
trunks, thickly belabeIed, in the room
upstairs. Both were locked.

He could not help feeling, however,
that somehow the little agent would
suddenly pop out Of the chimney in
his room, or sneak In through a crack
under the door-and laugh at his
fears.
Shortly before the noon hour, Peter
Ames halted the old automobile from
Green Fancy in front Of the Tavern
and out stepped O'Dowd, followed by
no less a parsonage than the pseudo
Mr.. Loeb. There were a number Of
travelling bags in the tonneau OF the
car.
Catching sight Of Barnes. the Irish
man shouted a genial greeting.
"The top Of the morning to ye. You
remember Mr.. Loeb, don't your Mr..
Curtis secretary. Mr.. Loebsis leaving
Us for a few days on business. Good
morning, Mr.. Boneface," he called out
to Putnam Jones who approached at
that juncture. Eve are sadly In want
Of gasoline"
Barnes caught the look that the
Irishman shot at him out Of the cor
ner OF his eye.
Perhaps you'd better see that the
Scoundrels don't give us short meas

hesitated for a second, and then, evil

"See here, am going back to that

for me there. What I'm after now is
to get him on the train at Hornville,
I'll be here again at four o'clock, on
me word Of honor, Trust me, Barnes"
"Do you mean to say that you are
coming back here to run the risk Of

We've had word that the govern

which was near the Canadian border.
A safe escort would be provided for

was he who, acting for the misguided
loyallsts and recommended by certain
young aristocrats who by virtue Of
their own designations had come to
know him as a man Of infinite re-
sourcefulness and daring, planned and
carried out the pillaging Of the palace
vaults. Almost under the noses of the
foreign guards he succeeded In OBJ
tanning the jewels. No doubt he could
have made of with them at that time,
but he shrewdly preferred to have
them brought to America by some one
else. 1t would have been impossible
for him to dispose Of them in Europe.

"He was no doubt thwarted in his

men. They were thieves as clever and
as merciless as himself. They too
were watching for me. do not know
how these men learned of my inten-
ton to come to Green Fancy"
"They came to the Tavern four or
FIVE days before your arrival at
Green Fancy" Barnes interrupted.
"Sprouse told me that they were Sc
cret service men from abroad and that
he was working with them. My theory
is this, and think it is justified by
events: The men were really secret
agents, sent here to watch the move
ments of the gang up there. They
came upon Sprouse and recognized
him. On the day mentioned they over
powered him and forced him to reveal
! certain facts connected with affairs al
Green Fancy. Possibly he led them to
believe that you were one Of the con
spirators. They waited for your ar
rival and then risked the hazardous
trip to Green Fancy. They were dis.

"Then we have accounted for Mr.
Sprouse, and am no longer interested
in the unraveling of the mystery sur
rounding the deaths of Room an6
Paul." said Barnes. "There is nothing
to keep me here any longer, Miss Cam
eron. 1 suggest that you allow me tt
escort you at once to your friends
wherever they"
She was opposed to this plan. While
there was still chance that Sprous'
might be apprehended in the neighbor

caught by the relentless pursuers, sh,
