Jim Belts, familiar figure in many
western towns since he made a lucky
strike in the Cobalt region a few years
before. had been one of Joe Bostock' s
stanchest friends. He had brought in
good many of the investors. Yet
now he stood almost alone in cham
pionship of his friend.
''If the line amt no good, what does
Tom BOwyer want 1t fOr?" yelled the
exasperated old man. did We ever
know Bowyer want anything that
wouldn't pay? Wait for Joe, boys! Ye

He was mud and blood from head

bristly growth of beard, was white MS

as parchment over the cheeks, revealed
the contour of the bones beneath.
Wilton strobe to the table and flung
down paper. 'Mr. BoStOck's power

A loud cry broke from ,Phayre. His
face was transformed; his lips were
working with rage.

vulsively. "You heard It? Joe Bos-

CHAPTER vi
An Unexpected DEVELOPMENT.

For weeks thereafter he was only
laihtiy conscious of his surroundings
at intervals. Once, reused by some
injection, he was aware of making a
brief deposition for use at the coro-
ner's inquest. and once Molly's face
appeared, wet with tears, out of the
shadows, and her lips touched him.
But he was desperately i'll, and 1t was
February before the crisis was past,
and he awakened. intensely weak. but
conscious, to realize that he was in
kittys house, and that Kitty had
been nursing him.
Feebly he whispered his gratitude,
and asked forgiveness because he had
not been able to keep his promise to
look after Joe.
You did all that could be done,
WILL" she answered. "It was wonder
fully plucky. your bringing him to
Molly's house as you did No one
could have done more"
J. He asked for Molly, and learned that
she had gone home on the day after
he had been brought to the house.
Kitty promised to show Wilton Molly's
letters when he got better
Then you know we are engaged?"
asked Wilton.
Kitty smiled little. II couldn't
help knowing that" she answered.
I'm glad for Molly's sake"
Wilton's mind had been all be-
wilderment as he racked his brains
for clue to Joe's death. Had he been
sure 1T was murder, he could have
gone grimly to work on the solution.
But there was always the doubt the
paralyzing doubt, that it had been an
accident, and that one of the half
breeds haG fred the shot.
Yet Bowyer must have known of
it; Bowyer had sent the impostors TO
arrest him; he became more and more
convinced that Bowycr had learned
OF Joe'S death that afternoon at the
portage, and had devised the arrest
to keep him from the meeting.
Among Wilton's callers was old jim
Belts, to rhom he extended his con-
fidence in large measure.
"Bowyers guilty as HI" he de-
clared. "Phayre mightn't have known.
l guess he didn't. But Bowyer knew,
when he had Phayre bring that mo-
ton forward, that Joe wouldn't re.
turn. Put that thought in your pipe
and smoke it. boy."
"Jim,'' SAID Wilton, "Tm giving up
my life to the Missatib, because it
was Joes work. And I'm going to
hound down his murderer, if 1t was
murder"
AYE, boy, and 90 cool about it."
counseled Belts 1T was crafty work.
but it'll come out. Don't doubt it,
And you'll find them two snakes,
Bowyer and Phayre, under the brush
wood. And maybe Clark, too" he
added.
1t was the middle of February be-
fore Wilton was allowed to leave the
house. Nearly two months had been
lost, and during that time Bowyer and
Phayre, whatever their plans might
be, had had good leeway to develop
them.
"Kitty," said Wilton. "you know
everything is in your hands now. You
control the line. And / know that
you'll stand by the line to the last,
because it was Joe's big dream"
"Will, you can count on me to the
end said Kitty solelnnly. I've been
thinking great deal about Big Mus
keg, and l feel my own responsibility.
| want to see the work, VIII. l want
to know that you are succeeding. And

Hubby was reading aloud from the
newspaper to his wife. Now and then
he paused and asked question, but
her replies indicated that she was not
listening very closely. When he re-
preached her she Indignantly retorted
that she was listening most intently.
He continued reading for few min
utes and then seeing a far-away look
in his wlfe's eyes he began to read as
follows:

breakfast, a hungry boy. about sixty
years old, bought an orange for a

Austin Phayre, who had sat down,
sprang to his feet again. The ringing
cheers which greeted Wiltons out
burst told him to make virtue of
necessity. Wilton had swayed the
meeting. The spirit of success famed
in his flashing eyes and carried convic-
ton in his manner.

Half minute later the motion was

and eventual reconstruction Of historic
Fort Crawford is forecast by the &C
ton of the Prairie du Chen chapter
of the d. A. R. in securing an option
on the property from w. R. Graves, its
owner, in an effort to preserve 1t for
historical purposes.
Fort Crawford was the most famous
Of any of the forts in the Northwest.
The original post, Fort Shelby, was
built during the war Of 1872. Hardly
had the first American troops taken
possession of it, when a detachment
Of British troops, REINFORCED by In
dams, came Town the Wisconsin Fl 7er
and laid siege to it. The garrison Wa
forced to surrender and for a year he
Union Jack foated over the frontier
post and southwestern Wisconsin was
a part of the British empire.
Buildings Ruined by Fire.
At the close Of the War Of 1872 the
fort was evacuated and shortly after
ward most of the buildings were gut
ted by fire.
The American government then re-
built the fort on the same site, calling
1t Fort Crawford. Later a new, site
was chosen a mile south on higher
ground and a larger Fort Crawford
was erected.
Zachary Taylor, later President Of
the United States, was commandment OF
it at one time. One Of his lieutenants
was Jefferson Davis, : who led the

Taylor's daughter and married her, to

The fort surgeon was Doctor Beau
mont, whose assistant, Martin st.
Alexis. had a bullet hole in his stom-
-ach. Through this hole Doctor Beau
mont studied the processes OF diges-
ton. The experiments thus conducted
still form the major part of the knowl-
edge medical science has of the stOm-
ach and its functions. st. Alexis is
mentioned in many school physiolo-
gies.
Other Notabies at Fort.
Others stationed at the fort at va
rious times were the historian, Henry
Schoolcraft the artist, George Calvin;
and Gen. William Clark, Lewis Cass
and Winfield Scott.
The treaties of 1926 and 1880, where
in the Indians decided away the last OF
their lands east of the Mississippi
river, were signed at Fort Crawford.
The Black Hawk war conferred about
it, and Abraham Lincoln, then a young
lieutenant was stationed at the fort
during this conflict. Chief Blackhawk
was taken to the post as a prisoner
after his capture by the Winnebago
chiefs after the rout OF the Sacs and
Foxes at the Battle of Bad Axe.
Near the site OF the fort Is Fort
Crawford cemetery, where those who
lied during their term of service were
buried. The cemetery Is government
owned and well cared for.
