Mountain Sheep Sacred in Colorado.
State Game and Fish Commits
sioner Jim Woodard declares that
the mountain sheep If ColoraLo is in
the same class as the sacred bull OF
India 1t must not be touched, says
Woodard. If the animal is seen
browsing upon the mountainside thu
gun of the hunter must not be point
ed in it's direction.
The animal. therefore, may be
called the sacred sheen of Color
ado." There are not many of them
left, but under the protection of the
law they are increasing every year.
There Is a band of them on the hills
between Florence and Victor. and
Mr.. Woodard has photograph OF a
bunch grazing on hillside short
distance from Florence.
But for the passage of a law which
heavily fines those who kill this ami
NAL. the species would have been ex-
tinct long ago.
A letter received in Mr.. Woodlands s
ofice recently tells of the arrest and
conviction of one Fred Klantzky for
killing a mountain sheep. Klantzsky
was fined 5000 and costs in the
county court at Canon City. The
costs amounted to $40, and II the
accused man does not settle he Will
have a long term to serve in the

CHAPTER XIII.
The Interview.

Premonition is an odd thing enough
art of prophecy which the ancients so
justly esteemed. Evelyn knew no
reason whatever why her father
should be offended by the presence OF
Count Odin at the Manor but none
the less premonition warned her that
the meeting would not be unattended
by consequences of some import. In
this fear she had quilted the Counts
room directly DR.. Philips warned her
that the Earl's carriage was in the
courtyard and going out to the head
of that short flight of stairs by which
you reach the banqueting hall, she
waited there in no little expectation.
afraid she knew not of what, and yet
quite sure that she had good reason
to be afraid. Down below, in the great
hall itself, she heard sound Of
voices-for the Doctor had already be-
gun his tale-and she tried to catch
the sense Of it, listening particularly
for any mention of Count Odin's
name, which must. she believed, be
the key to this strange riddle of her
adventure. When her father approach
ed her, smiling and not ill-pleased.
she was quite sure that the Counts
name had not been mentioned; nor
was her surmise in any way incor-
rect.
The Earl came up the stairs with
the air of q man who is glad to get
home again and has heard good jes,
upon the very threshold of his house.
He wore dark tweed suit and his
bronzed face. If slightly drawn by the
fatigues of travel, wore, none the less,
that benevolent air of content which
invariably attended the assurance
that all was well at Melbourne Hall.
STOPPING to kiss Evelyn, he told her
in word that he was aware of the
adventure and found 1t amusing
enough.
'Yes, the Doctor has told me-" he
began; "a man and horse and fly
| ing machine! My dear girl. you must
be careful. What will the county say
if we go on like this-the second spill

The Earl, still believing that the
Doctors incoherent jargon must have
some truth in it, paused, nevertheless

DR.. Philips looked at both of them
and smiled.
"You must speak to the Earl about
that" he exclaimed. why, there 's
his carriage. l must go and break
the news to him."

The moment was critical enough.
A gentle hill lay before her. She
knew that horse galloping blindly
would make nothing of 1t, but that the
little car must be slowed down suffl-
ciently to render escape out of the
question. Had there been footpath,
she would have mounted 1t and dared
the consequences; but of path there
was none A man in her place might
have bethought him of stacking speed
gradually and blocking the road to
the flying carriage. But Bates. her
chauffeur, had never been upon a horse
in his life. He thought only of him.
self and the car.
Losing ground steadily upon the
hill, the end of it all seemed at hand
when Evelyn espied the open gate OF

thought of that which must have hap.

The engine of her car had stopped as
they ran into the field and the imper-
turbable Bates Immediately leaped
down from the dicky and made a
wild attempt to restart it.
"There WASH: a driver on the box,
milady," he said. as though it were
the most natural remark in the world
to make.
Evelyn answered by ordering him
almost angrily to start the engine.
I'VE must go to them" she said,
her heart beating fast as she spoke.
81 am sure there has been a dreadful
accident Be quick, Bates! Why are
you so foolish? Please start the en-

Bates said no more but started tn,
