CHAPTER XVIII.

Three days passed. Don Juan Cafe
tero had been buried with all the pomp
and circumstance of a national hero !;
Mother jerks, too, had gone to her ap-
pointed resting place, and Ell Buen
Amigo had been closed forever. Ricar-
do had issued proclamation annOunc-
ing himself provisional president of
Sobrante; a convention of revolution
airy leaders had been held, and provi-
sional cabinet selected. A day for the
national elections had been named the
wreckage Of the brief revolution had
been cleared away, and the wheels Of
government were once more revolving
freely and noiselessly. And while all
of this had been going on, John Stu
art Webster had lain on his back, star
ing at the palace ceiling and absolute
ly forbidden to receive visitors. He
was still engaged in this mild form Of
gymnastics on the third day when the
door Of his room opened and Dolores
looked in on him.
"Good evening, Caliph," she called.
"Aren't you dead YETI"
It was exactly the tone she should
have adopted to get the best results,
for Webster had been mentally and
physically i'll since she had seen him
last. and needed some such pleasantly
as this to lift him out of his gloomy
mood. He grinned at her boyishly.
mo, I'm not dead. On the contrary,
I'm feeling real chirpy. Won't you
come in and visit for while, Miss
Ruey?"
swell, since you've invited me- l
shall accept" Entering, she stood be-
side his bed and took the hand he ex-
tended toward her. "This is the first
opportunity I've had, Miss Ruey," he
began, "to apologize for the shock |
gave you the other day. I should have
come back to you as 1 promised, in
stead of getting into a fight and scar
ing you half to death. | hope you'll
forgive me, because I'm paying for my
fun now-with interest"

on one condition.

"But, Mr.. Webster"
"Vayal"
Mr.. TOlliver, approaching the utter
futility Of argument, bowed and de-
parted.
"verily, life grows sweeter with each
passing day." Webster murmured
whimsically. "Rick, old man, think
you had better escort the consul to
the front door. Your presence is nux
vomica to me also. See that you back
me up and dispose Of that fellow Toll

When Ricardo had taken his depar-
ture John Stuart Webster looked up
quite seriously at his wife-to-be. Can
you explain to me, Dolores" he asked,
"how it happened that your relatives
! and your fathers old friends here in
Sobrante, whom you met shortly after
your arrival, never informed you that
Ricardo was living7"
"They didn't know any more about
him than I did, and he left here as
mere boy. He was scarcely acquainted
with his relatives, all Of whom bowed
| quite submissively to the Sarros yoke.
Indeed, my fathers half-brother, An
tonic Ruey, actually accepted port
folio under the Sarros regime and held

| and as for his fathers old friends.
none Of them knew anything about his
plans. Apparently his identity was
known only to the Sarros intelligence
bureau, and it did not permit the infor-
nation to leak out"
"Funny mix up" he commented.
"And by the way, where did you get
all the inside dope about Neddy Je-
romeo"
She laughed and related to him tho
details of Neddy's pertidy.
"And you actually agreed to deliv'
err me, hog-tied and helpless, to that
old schemer, Dolores?'

OFFICERS CAPTURE
ALLEGED BOOTLECCER
EXCITING CHASE OVER HILLS
AND VALLEYS IN BLACK
HILLS.

Belle Fourche, July 23.-An ex-
cellent movie picture scene was act
ed in real life and real earnest a
fw days ago when the sheriff and
his deputy chased an alleged boot
logger across the open prairie, over
a railroad, over hills and into hol-
lows.
Joe Aker, whose wife in a nurse
in this city, but who resides in Wy
oming, has been under the eye of the
officers of this county for some time.
He was arrested after a lively and
exciting chase.
Aker has friends in this city to
whom it is charged he has been
bringing liquor. His plan, it is said
was to notify his friends when he
would come with load and they
would go out and meet him. This
was tipped off to an officer and the
officers went out to meet the alleg-
ed vendor.
Aker, in a two-horse wagon, was
some distance inside the South Da-
kota line when he saw the officers.
He made a wild attempt to gain
standing room on the Wyoming side,
and failed. He made a sharp turn,
crossed the railroad track on a trot
where there was no crossing and felt
safe on the other side of steep de-
cline, but he reckoned without rea-
son, for the officers went across too.
He applied the lash to his horses,
but seeing he was losing, began to
throw bottles at rocks Some OF
these missed the marks and were la
ter picked up by the officers. Aker
was brought to this city. waived ex-
animation, and in default of 81 1000
bail, is languishing behind the bars,
where, unless he gives bond, he must
stay till November next.

Hail Losses To
Show Reduction

Pierre, July 23.--Although the to-
tai number of hail insurance claims
filed with the state hail insurance de-
partment this year is greatly in ex-
cess of last years total, losses are
not as great as in 1920 and cannot
now be, according to d. E. Walker,
deputy in charge of the department.
Mr.. Walker bases this statement
on the large number of claims which
have been adjusted and the compar-
atiyely few areas where the losses
have been total. Last year large
areas in several sections of the
state were visited by hail storms
which took the entire small grain
crop, Mr.. Walker says.
Small grain nearly everywhere
in the state is two weeks ahead of
where it was at this time last sea-
son." Mr.. Walker declared in dis
cussing the situation" and therefore
We will not have to carry the risk on
the crop as long. In fact a recent
trip convinced me that more than
half OF the grain is already out,
while last year harvest was just COM
mencing at this time"
