such things; but he could take most
prizes at school open to competition bo
could win in the running jump, the

hooted the Judge. Peggy and Billy dug
as fast as they could and soon had the
dirt loosened around one foot. Judge
Owl gave big heave and up came the
foot out of the ground. He gave an
other heave, and up came the other

Hoo! Hoo! I'm free - hooted the
judge, rising heavily into the air.

matter to the angry wasps.
Hoo! Hoo! Too Too! I'm the

gleefully as he saw the other birds
flee. Hoo Hoo Scoot Scoot!" he
screeched, chasing after them. And the
birds scooted as they had never scooted
before. In less time than it takes to
tell they had raced out of sight, some
hiding in houses and sheds, soma
rising among the clouds, and some max

Hoo! Hoo It's fun being the

Judge Owl. Then he swooped down
toward Peggy and Billy, and before they
knew what he was up to he had seized
them, one in each claw, and was carry

Jean and the doctor.
"Son?" said Jean. "What! Did

"He was sent up here about couple

Swiftly / ran over in my mind my
first night with the Scollay household.
Had I ever been told Jock was a son ?
No, l had simply assumed it, and gone
on that assumption without ever once
thinking anything more about the mat
ter. And SO, with this impenetrable
curtain between me and all possibility
of guessing the truth, I had gone on
uselessly cropping.
"Fool!"
A harsh voice startled me. It was
Jock, gazing viciously up at me and
talking cultural English now. His face
was still framed in the circle of the
torch, and as 1 looked at it now I real
lied that the truth had actually been
written there all the time for a closely
observing eye to read. This mans fea-
lures differed vitally from the Scollays'
and especially there was no cast in his
eyes.
"Fool! !" he snarled, "yes, you have
been a damned fool, you Hobhouse I!

The woman in black pressed'her hand

Tekewani answered. "It comes, also,

one hears it but the great. The whisper
only is for this one here and that one

Judge Owls Fun

Judge Owls Fun
tTTOO! Hoo! Get me out of here be-
IL fore I grow through the roof"
hooted Judge Owl from the hothouse.
Billy and Peggy were scared when
they saw how big he had become. They
had no idea that he would grow so fast.
And he was still growing. His head
rose against the glass roof, and the
roof began to creak and crack. If
Judge Owl swelled up any more it was
bound to 60 smash.
"stop him growing, Billy, or he will
break all Gardener Pills glass :"
shrieked Peggy. But Billy didn't know
how to stop Judge Owl unless he put
weight on his head, and it would
have to be ton weight to do any
good.
In the hothouse was a chain and
windlass and Billy saw that by winding
up the chain he could raise the glass
roof. Perhaps if he could let Judge
Owl out that might stop his growing.
Acting on this idea Billy began to work
at the windlass and in a jiffy he lifted
the sash off Judge Owls head.

"Now fly out" cried Peggy to the
Judge.
Hoo Hoo! How can I fly while my
feet are still planted?" screeched the
Judge, Tapping and struggling until the
hothouse was a smother of feathers.
Billy seized a shovel and Peggy
seized a spade. Diving under the mass
of feathers they began to dig. 1t was
a big job because Judges Owls claws
had grown as fast as his body, spread =
ing out in the ground like the roots of
a tree.

steps were not exactly stealthy, but
guarded and wary, though quite as
sured, as IL the man were only exercis-
ing a general precaution.
Keep your faces hidden as much as
you can !" whispered Whiteclett.
There was enough light in the open
door to silhouette a figure as it entered,
and moment later I saw for. an in
slant quite distinctly the outline of that
oilskinned man once more. And then
for perhaps three long seconds he was
lost in the gloom within and we only
knew of his approach by the sound of
his footsteps. Abruptly they stopped.
He was little more than a couple Of
PAGES from us now and I thought I
heard him move back step. Probably
he had seen the white of some ones
face.
There was little click and White
clett's torch flashed full on him. In
that instant l saw his hand rise, and
with my head down 1 charged him. The
report of his pistol rang through the
barn and almost simultaneously down
he came, and I had a firm grip OF
those oilskins at last.
How the man fought! Not till was
sitting on his legs and Jack and the
doctor each had an arm pinned to the
floor did he cease to struggle, and even
then he did not cease to swear. Sir
Francis standing up over him, with
the torch in his own hand, now turned
the light on to his face. When 1 saw
what it revealed l nearly let go our
prisoners legs through sheer bewilder-
ment. For there in the torch's bright
circle lay the poor idiot Jock, cursing
us in fluent German.

THIS STARTS THE STORY

Fleda Druse, a daughter of Gabriel
Druse, attempts to shoot, in a canoe,
the wild Carlton Rapids on the Sag
alac river, where it flows between
the new towns of Manitou and Leb-
anon in the Canadian northwest. Her
attempt is watched from the shores
by Osterhaut, a jack Of all trades at
Lebanon; Jowett, horse dealer,
and Tekewani, chief of the Blackfeet
Indians on the Manitou Reservation.
Having run the rapids, Fleda Druse
is on the verge of losing her life in
the whirlpools below. There goes to
her rescue Max Ingolby, fnancier,
contractor, manager of great inter-
ests, a "disturber of the peace of
slow minds" who has come to Leba-
non to amalgamate three railroads,
unite the two towns and make them
the center of trade and commerce in
the western North.

NATIONAL PLAY GROUND MAY
BE LOCATED IN NORTH DAKOTA

Senator A. A. Liederbach of Dunn
county, father of the Killdeer national
park idea, announced that Congress-
man James H. Sinclair of the third
North Dakota district, who served with
Llederbach two years ago in the Flick
ertain house of representatives, has
introduced in the national congress a
bill making an appropriation of $780,
900 for the purchase and improvement
of this beautiful foothills region.
Senator Liederbach is inclined to
believe that congress will regard the
project with favor, not only because
the Killdeer mountains will form an
excellent game preserve and an ideal
national playground, but for the fur
ther reason that there is so much of
historical significance in connection
with this section finch should be pre-
served. Some Of the most famous In
dian battles in early territorial days
were fought in the Killdeer mountains.
Sully, Sibley and other great Indian
fighters have campaigned there, and
there is hardly foot of the ground
which does not hold romantic inter-
est for every son of the west
Senator Liederbach introduced a
joint resolution memorializing con-
gress when he was member of the
house in the 18th assembly. Both
houses promptly adopted the resolu-
ton. and it was forwarded to Wash
ington, where it found congress too
busy with war plans to give this mat
ter any immediate consideration. Sin
clair's bill seems to have come at a
time when congress is more favorably
disposed towards proposals of this ma
ture.

Demurrer FILED BY GAM.
BLE.ROBINSON co. SUSTAIN
ED BY JUDGE NUESSLE

Bismarck, N. .-Contending that
the complaint did not set forth any
cause Of action, the defendants in the
suit brought by Attorney General
LANCER against the Gamble Robinson
and Stacy-Bismarck companies of Bis
marck last week withdrew their an
swer and filed demurrer, which was
sustained by Judge Nuessle.
The Attorney General had instituted
a civil suit against the defendants for
the revocation of their charters. The
defense commended that inasmuch as
the defendants had been convicted in
no criminal action alleging violation
of the North Dakota antitrust act, as
charged in the complaint, civil action
for the cancellation Of their charters
could not be brought. This conten-
ton was sustained by Judge Nuessle.
It is probable that the attorney gem
eral will Immediately appeal to the
supreme court.
Today's action grew out Of COM
plant filed with the attorney general
by Murray & Mclean, former Bis
marck commission house, who declar-
ed that conspiracy and unfair COM
petition on behalf of the defendants
put them (the complainants) out Of
business.
Assistant Attorney General Albert
E. Sheets, Jr.; Judge John Carmody
Of Hillsboro and Judge Nucols Of Man
dan appeared for the state. Fisk 4
Murphy of Minot represented the
Gamble Robinson company and C. j.
Murphy of Murphy & Toner, Grand
Forks, and Pierce Butler of St. Paul
represented the Stacy Bismarck COM
pany.
The action is the first of it's type
brought under North Dakota's anti
trust law. The attorney general con-
tends that in violating this act the de-
PENDANTS have forfeited their right to
do business in North Dakota, and that
their charters should be Cancelled and
their corporate existence terminated.
