OF course 1t was not so much a sur
Prise to Aunt Harriet, but it was an
entirely new idea to me, for on our
way home in the car that afternoon,
we had been making plans for doing
over an old farm house on the edge
of the town. But the one who was
most astonished by his statement was
Wins mother. Up to this time she
had been perfectly quiet, sitting over
in her corner of the room and listen
ing to the verbal war between her son
and my aunt.
Now she got up and came across the
room to him.
But what do you mean" she asked.
How are you going to the city,"
Winthrop by this time was complete
ly master of the whole situation. He
had gone cheerfully into an argument
with my angry aunt and he had won
out. l did not know then that the only
argument he ever had with his mother
was this one, as to whether or not he
should be allowed to leave home

The Adventure Of the Copper Beeches
SIR ARTHUR CONAN
BY SIR ARTHUR CONAN
with The Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.

We were as good as our word, for
it was just seven when we reached
the Copper Beeches, having put up our
trap at a wayside public-house. The
group of trees, with their dark leaves
shining like FURNISHED metal in the
light of the setting sun, were suffic-
lent to mark the house even had Miss
Hunter not been standing smiling on
the doorstep.
Have you managed it," asked
Holmes.
A loud thudding noise came from
somewhere downstairs. That is Mrs.
Toller in the cellar" said she. Her
husband lies snoring on the kitchen
rug. Here are his keys, which are the
duplicates of Mr.. Rucastle's."
You have done well indeed" cried
Holmes, with enthusiasm. Now lead
the way, and we shall soon see the
end of this black business"
We passed up the stairs, unlocked
the door, followed on down a passage,
and found ourselves in front of the
barricade which Miss Hunter had de-
scribed. Holmes cut the cord and re-
moved the transverse bar. Then he
tried the various keys in the lock, but
without success. No sound came from
within, and at the silence Holmes face
clouded over.
81 trust that we are not too late -
said he. 81 think, Miss Hunter, that
we had better go in without you Now,
Watson, put your shoulder to it, and
we shall see whether we cannot make
our way in
1t was an old rickety door, and gave
at once before our united strength. To
gether we rushed into the room. II
save a little pallet bed, a small table,
light above was open, and the prison
er gone.
There has been some villainy
here" said Holmes; this beauty has
guessed Miss Hunters intentions, and
has carried his victim off"
But how?"
Through the skylight. We shall
soon see how he managed it." He
swung himself up onto the roof. "Ah
yes he cried; heres the end of q
long light ladder against the caves
That is how he did it."
but II Is lupOSSlUle, Sdlu MIS-
| Hunter; 1.-The ladder was not there
when the Rucastles went away"
| He has come back and done it.
| tell you that he is a clever and dan
gerous man. l should not be very
much surprised if this were he whose
step I hear now upon the stair.
| think, Watson, that it would be as wei
| for you to have your pistol ready"
The words were hardly out of hi:
mouth before a man appeared at the
| door of the room, very fat and burly
man, with a heavy stick in his hand
Miss Hunter screamed and shrunl
against the wall at the sight of him
but Sherlock Holmes sprang forward
and confronted him.
You william" said he where's you,
daughter?"
The fat man cast his eyes round
and then up at the open skylight.
1T is for me to ask you that" HI
shrieked, you thieves! Spies ant
thieves! l have caught you, have
You are in my power. I'll serve you!
He turned and clattered down thu
stairs as hard as he could go.
Hes gone for the dog" cried Mis-
Hunter.

To Silver; A r.; D. A; Estelle B.;
Reader; D. C.-To reduce the bust, it
is well to reduce all over. Some Young
girls are over developed in this part,
but will usually be in proportion after
they are completely matured. Dash
cold water over the bust each morning
and dry by friction, using a coarse
towel. This will tone the muscles.

many interesting things relative
to the population Of South Dakota.
The total population enumerated
by the government last year was
636,547, a gain of 52,659 or nine
per cent during the preceding
ten years. In the same period the
population of the whole United
States increased Is per cent. Con.
the phenomenal growth

not a bad showing for the Sun

CITY MEAT MARKET
CHANGES HANDS

Ned Ronning, who for the past
twelve years has operated the City
Meat Market, last Saturday dis
posed of his interests to Jno. Wise
man and Al Johnson, both OF this
city. The deal was closed Satur~
day and the new proprietors took
over the business Monday morning
and are now in full charge.
Mr.. Ronning has been in the bu-
siness in Philip for so long that
it will be hard for his friends to
identify him with any other under
taking. He has given Philip a
market second to none in the coun
try. We are glad to state that so
far as he knows now, he will re-
main a resident of Philip.

Mr.. Wiseman has been a resident

INDIANS ASSERTING CLAIM
TO THE BLACK HILLS

The largest law suit in South
Dakota if not in the whole United
States today, involves the claim of
the Sioux Indians for the Black
Hills. For twenty years and more
the Indians have urged their claim
and it has been regarded with
more or less levity by the white
people, but now the Indian is to
have his day in court at last. Cap
able lawyers have been assigned
by the government to the task of
presenting the claims, and well-in-
formed lawyers believe that the
Indian has more than an even
chance to win.
The Sioux assert that the ceding
of the Black Hills to the whites
was not the act of all the tribes
of Indians who had interests in
the Indian lands which were
thrown open to settlement by
treaty in the '70s and that a few
Indians, who were unauthorized to
act, signed the treaty which open
ed the Hills to the gold digPers.
For many years the Indians have
sought to. secure payment for the
gold which has been taken from
the Black Hills, and the question
has been threshed over by repres-
entatives of the tribes and repres-
entatives of the government until
it has become we'll night thread
bare. The Indians have never de-
sisted from asserting their title to
the Black Hills, and they have en-
ployed many lawyers to present
their side of the case to the gov
ernment. All these efforts have
come to naught, and in the mean
time hundreds of millions of dol
'ars in gold have been taken from
the Homcstake mine and other of
the Black Hills properties, by the
private corporations who are oper-
ating them. The Federal govern
ment has finally decided to rehear
the case and decide whether or not
the Homestake and other interests
shall paN to the Indians the value
Of the gold taken from the Black
Hills.
