"bootleggers" crossed into the Silver
state carrying their forbidden cargoes.
Then came the war and a state con-
stabulary was created TO maintain the
liquor drought on Colorado soil. A
constable and a high power car were
on duty on the border when suddenly
three machines shot across the state
line and headed full speed in the di-
rection of Denver. The constable
yelled for the trio to halt, but for AN
swer one of the men in the last car
drew a gun and blazed away twice at
the officer.
The shots went wild, but the con-
stable retaliated with little gun
play of his own. His aim was better
and the fellow who had fired sank
down into the bottom Of the car while
his two companions called upon the
other cars to slow up and take them
in. They succeeded In escaping.

Dropping the bag in the private hall
she went into the kitchen and stood
on tiptoe TO open the door of the closet
above the dresser. Securing a plate
she emptied the contents of the paper
into it and set the plate down on the
floor.
In spreading out the paper she saw
some big-type headlines on the front

MADE OCCASION FOR FESTIVAL
Travellers in Northern Russia Fittingly
Celebrate the Crossing of the
Arctic Circle.

On the trains running northward
across north Russia. the crossing of
the arctic circle is made the occasion
for a festival similar to that which
tourists used to enjoy on shipboard
when crossing the equator. The train
makes a stop of several hours in the
midst of a snow-covered waste on the
shores of the White sea. The passen-
gers stretch their legs and take con-
stitutiOnal out over the frozen surface
of the White sea, while picnic din
ner is being prepared.
The exact spot where the railroad
crosses the circle is probably not de-
termined with scientific accuracy, but
the men who built the railroad appar-
entity agreed on an approximate loca-
ton. and this is marked with suit
able inscription. At this point also
the railroad builders have left slight
gap. probably not more than quarter
of an inch, between the rails, so that.
as messengers often notice, when the
train passes over the circle there is a
distinct jolt and jar"
