an affection that was very real. Lucie,
better than most, knew the extraordt-

The command cracked out like a
whiplash. With shrug OF helpless
ness the banker turned and fumbied
with the protruding knob of the safe.
With one exception all eyes were fas-
tened upon this amazing Masquer.
The exception was Jachin Fell, who,
suddenly alert and watchful, had
turned his attention to Maillard and
the safe. keen speculation In his
gaze, as though he were wondering
what that steel vault would produce.
All were silent. There was some

Callers.
The house In which Lucie Ledanois
lived had been her mothers; the fur
niture and other things In 1t had been
her mothers; the two negro servants,
who spoke only the Creole French pa
tois, had been her mother's It was a
small house, but very beautiful inside.
The exterior betrayed lack Of paint
or the money with which to have
painting done
The Ledanois family, although dis
family connected with others such as
the Maillards, had sent forth its final
bud Of fruition in the girl Lucie Her
mother had died while she was yet an
infant, and through the years she had
companioned her father, an Invalid,
during the latter days. He had never
been man to count dollars or costs,
and to a large extent he had outworn
himself and the family fortunes In q
vain search for health.
With Lucie he had been in Europe
at the outbreak Of war, and had come
home to America only to die shortly
afterward. Once deprived Of his fine
recklessness, the girl had found her
affairs in bad tangle. Under the
guardianship of Maillard the tangle
had been somewhat resolved and SIM
plified, but even Maillard would ap-
pear to have made mistakes, and Of
late Lucie had against her will sus-
pected something amiss In the matter
Of these mistakes.
It was natural, then, that she should
take Jachin Fell into her confidence.
Maillard had been her guardian, but
1t was to Fell that she had always
come with her girlish cares and
troubles, during even the lifetime Of
her father.
At precisely three O'Clock OF the
Sunday afternoon Jachin Fell rang
the doorbell and Lucie herself admit
ted him.

eagerly exclaimed the girl. did you

Fl. APACHE, FAMOUS
 OLD FORT, ABANDONED

With the abandonment on May B., by the war department of Fort Apache, 85 miles south of Holbrook in Navajo county, Arizbna now has but one military post, Fort Huachuca, To- cated in Santa Crut, of the large number of such posts that were sit uated over the statel in the early pio- meer days. News of the withdrawal by the government lof the troops at Fort Apache was received by Cover nor Thomas E. Campbell in letter from Charles w. Davis, in charge of the Apache agency at the fort.
 Only small guard detachment was left in the fort, MT. Davis said, in ad- dition to small force left to close up the buildings and dispose of the prop erty. The disposition to be made of the property is unknown, MT. Davis said. The troops, he said, marched out of the fort on May 3.
 The order for the abandonment of the fort was given on February 10, 1922, by the war department, although the move has been contemplated for several years. Following the order, the Arizona legislature in the special session held recently passed con- current resolution on March 2, ad- dressed to President Harding as chief executive of the army, asking that the abandonment order be revoked and the post retained.
 "It is deemed best" the resolution stated, "by the inhabitants of Arizona that the post should be retained for the moral effect upon the large num- Der of Indians in the state as we'll as for the protection of the livestock industry"
 Fort Apache was located in 1869 by Major John Green of the First Cav airy, on the White river, near what is now the boundary line between Navajo and Apache counties. Because of it's strategic position between the Navajo and Apache Indian lands in the early days the fort soon be- came one of the strongest factors in subduing the Indians. The post was first called Camp Ord, then was later renamed Fort Mogollon, then Fort Thomas, and was finally named Fort Apache.
 Coincident with the closing of the post and also of interest, comes the announcement from MT, Davis that on Sunday, April 30, more than 100 Apache Indians, remembered by the pioneers as the fierce, heartless saw age of the desert, were baptized and have accepted the Christian faith. They have laid away the tom-tom and the war hatchet, and with little as- distance by the white people the en-

SHEEP ARE ON THEIR
 WAY BACK FROM SOUTH

The total number of stock authoriz- ed to graze on the Coconino National forest for 1922 is 47,900 head of cat tie and S1 ,S57 head of sheep. Approx imately 5000 head of the cattle are grazed on the forest the year round. The balance Iof the cattle and all the sheep are gazed for the short sea sons.
 Grazing fees for the long season are $1 per- head for cattle and 25 cents per head for sheep.
 The big northerly movement of sheep fromI the ranges south of here is now in progress and approximately 100000 head will cross the Mud Tanks, Bea3er Head and Bear Springs driveways huring May and the first ten days in June.
 Feed on the sheep trails is scant this year and most of the outfits are making it hcross in as short time as possibley
 The big bulk of the sheep permitted to graze oh the Coconino forest are expected tp arrive on their allotments by the firSt of June.
