"HANDS UP!"

SYNOPSIS. - Looking over Big
Muskeg, seemingly impassa BILE
swamp in the path of the Missa-
tibi railroad, Joe Bostock, builder
of the line, and Wilton Carruthers,
chief of engineers, are considering
the difficulties. A rifle shot instant
ly kills Bostock and breaks Car
rutherS' arm. CarrutherS tries to
carry the body to a post of the
HudsOn's Bay company, where Nc
Donald is the factor. McDonald's
daughter, Molly, sees Carruthers
struggling in the muskeg and drags
him from the swamp, with his bur-
den. Unaccountably, her father
objecst to her saving Carruthers.
Weakened by his wound and exer-
lions, Carruthers Is disturbed by
the appearance of Tom Bowyer,
Bostock's business rival and per-
sonal enemy. Bowyer insults Mol
ly, and Carruthers strikes him.
Carruthers declares his love for
Molly. She promises to be his wife.
Carruthers has to reach the town
of Clayton to attend a meeting at
which Bostock's enemies plan to
wrest control of the Missatibi from
him. Molly goes with him. They
are delayed by a storm. Attacked
by his dogs, Carruthers' life is
saved by Molly, who is forced to
kill the animals.

during the night.
"They must have guessed that those
men meant to arrest you, or else they
| heard them talking" said Molly.
But Wilton had hurried to the horse
stalls, separated from the dog stable
| by stout door. He breathed a deep
sigh of relief. The second sleigh was
there. For moment the thought of
possibilities had made his heart almost
stand still.
He came back grim and resOlute.
There's something pretty deep in all
this business" he said. 81 know why

Papillon last night. And that's the
reason why they wouldn't sleep in the

suppose the policemen were afraid
that they would make trouble, or try
to help us. But l can't fathom it;
Those men acted like criminals. That's
not the way of the police"
He clenched his fist and swore un-
der his breath.
"I'l have those fellows broke for
this if l have to go to Ottawa" he
said. "And I'm going to run down
those breeds, If it takes me a lifetime
[ tell you this, Molly: it's all bound
up with Joe in some way or other, and
Tom Bowyer's at the bottom of it."
"But frSt-remember Kitty" said
Molly softly, laying her hand on Will
tons shoulder.
Even the slight touch made him
vince, for the pain Of his broken arm
was becoming unbearable He realized
that in all probability he was in for a
long spell of illness. He knew that
the bone would have to be reset. His
head felt strangely light, and the
ground seemed to slope downhill from
him in all directions. But he shut his
teeth hard, and would not let Molly
guess. And a feverish energy took
for the journey, until after the share
holders meeting-until he had told
Kitty
well take the police sled and start
at once" he said to Molly. ut looks
as If storm was brewing. I'll tell
Andersen to let those fellows go about
noon, and I'll leave the revolver with
him."
Inside the shack they found the po-
| licemen eating their breakfast on the
floor, with the caretaker diligently
serving them. They were still bound,
but their hands were free.
Turn them loose at noon, Ander-
SEN" Wilton said. Give them enough
slap-bang to carry them on their way.
Just turn them loose and see that they
haven't any dangerous weapons to do
you mischief with"
you bet l take care for that"
grinned the Swede.
Wilton let Andersen harness the
dogs, to save>his strength for the jour
ney. In a few minutes the sled was
ready, with the sleigh carrying Joe's
body attached behind, and the husliies,
harneSsed sitting dOcile in the snow,
awaiting the command to mush.
The sun was just showing above the
horizon when Wilton and Molly start
ed on the second stage of their jour
ney to Clayton.

nantly. "They must have known I'd
feed them before starting on a run like
the one we've got before us. l suppose
they heard the row and got scared back
to bed" he added.
But no answer came to his call, and
suddenly Molly uttered cry and
pointed. On the other side Of the
stable were the tracks Of a sleigh, OBJ
liberated at the entrance by the falling
snow, which had drifted against the
building.
Wilton wrenched the door open. His
sleigh and the dogs were gone, togeth-

swinging the revolver aloft, butt for
ward. in his hand.
With his powerful build he could
have delivered blow that would have
| crushed WiltOn'S skull. But before the
blow fell Andersen had raised his pan
and brought it down edgewise upon
the sergeants head, cutting the scalp
to the bone and drenching the man
with the boiling grease.
With scream of pain Peters STUN
bled forward, letting the revolver fall
from his hand, slipped in the grease
that had begun to oOze along the floor,
and fell full length on the planks,
where he lay writhihg in anguish, and
trying to clear his eyes of the melted
fat and the blood that streamed down
his forehead.
Instantly Molly stopped, snatched up
the weapon, which had fallen at her
feet, and covered the constable, who
had flung himself upon Wilton again
Myers stopped dead and threw his
hands up automatically.
Get over there !" said Molly briskly
pointing toward the wall behind the
sergeant.
Myers obeyed Immediately, and took
his post against the wall, the picture
of confusion. Peters struggled slowly
to his feet. Has face and pea-jacket
were covered with film of grease
over which the blood from his wound
was trickling. The tables were turned
with dramatic completeness.
"You know what this means !" splut.

fat from his eyes.

SPEAKS To PIONEERS

Lewiston-Ex-Gover w. J. Nc
COnnell of Moscow was the last and
one of the principal speakers at the
pioneers reunion banquet Thursday
night at the Lewis-Clark hotel, with
more than 800 persons present Gov
ernor Mcconnell first thanked the
people of Lewiston for himself and
on behalf of all the pioneers for the
entertainment and the opportunity for
the pioneers to gather together. He
then reviewed incidents in the history
of the formation of Idaho as a terri
tory and closed with an account of
some amusing incidents of the early
days.
Friday morning at 10 o'clock the
pioneers met to form a permanent
organization. Luncheon in honor of
the pioneers was served at noon, a
special program was presented in the
afternoon, dinner is to be served at
o'clock, and the reunion will close
Friday night with an old fashioned
ball at 8 o'clock.
r. D. Leeper of Lewiston was toast
master of the Thursday night banquet.
Addresses of welcome were made by
Mayor William Thompson and p. r.
Bevis, president of the Lewiston Com
mercial club.
Among the pioneers from Moscow
at the reunion are Governor McCon-
nell, Robert Homer Barton, and James
keane.

FORD ORDER PUTS
100000 men TO WORK

Detroit-(A. P.)-Henry Ford's Gin
dustrial strike" came to an end TO-
night.
At midnight his great automotive
] plants in the Detroit district, en-
| ploying upward of 10000 men, which
were closed for an indefinite period
last Saturday as the manufacturer
protest against what he termed Eek
cessive coal prices" again were the
scenes of industrial activity.
The order for reopening came this
forenoon from Edsel Ford, son of the
manufacturer, and president of the
Ford Motor company, who. made ar
rangements to obtain coal during a
long conference in Cincinnati yester-
day with SO mine operators. The re-
opening order was approved by Henry
Ford and official announcement given
to the thousands of Ford workers
throughout the country.
Edsel Ford in his telegram, copies
of which were despatched to every
Ford assembling plant in the country,
said the interstate commerce COM
flow of fuel to automobile plants,
previously in the nonessential class,
made it possible to obtain a suffi-
cient supply of the kind of coal re-
quired
Executive offices of the concern saw
the setting in motion of machinery
for the reopening within few min
utes after the presidents message was
received The Ford company, it was
announced officially, will start at
1901 o'clock tomorrow on a capacity
production schedule in an effort to
catch up on accumulated orders.
The reopening order today not only
puts back on the 2ayrolls the more
than 10000 Ford workers in Detroit
and the 10000 others in assembling
plants throughout the country, but
also means reopening of scores of
small machine shops and accessory
trict. These smaller concerns employ
upword of 100000 men.
Details of the arrangements where
by Mr.. Ford is to obtain sufficient
coal to run his factories at what he
terms "an honest price, were lacking
here tonight, due to the absence Of
both Edse1 and Henry Ford The
latter, soon after he approved the re-
opening order of his son, departed for
Toledo and Ironton.
The opinion was expressed at the
cOmpany's offices that Mr.. Ford per-
sona1ly might visit the southern coal
fields from which his coal supply is
to come.
The closing and subsequent reopen
ing are the two important chapters
in verbal battle waged by Mr.. Ford
against the interstate commerce COM
mission and certain coal brokers' In
a recent public statement the manu-
facturer charged the commission had
"played into the hands" of persons
who desired to charge excessive coal
prices. declaring this was accom-
plished through PRONUNCIATION of pri-
ority orders.

TO BOISE THROUGH UNION
PACIFIC'S COURTESY

Through the courtesy of the ITniCr
Pacific railway the University of Ida
no will be able to ship carload OF
purebred livestock to the state fair
at Boise September $3.50 for exhibi-
ton and demonstration purposes, ac-
cording to Dean E. ]. Iddings of the
college of agriculture.
The animals will be carefully select
ed from the large university herds
and will be used for parades, Judging
and demonstration purposes. 1t is
not the plan of the department to
enter any of the animals in compe-
tion with other breeders.
Send Grand Champions.
The university will send five head
of horses and six head of dairy cat
tie. The horses will include four Per-
cherons and shire mare. One of the
Percherons, a twO-year old, bred on
the university farm, was grand cham
pion at the Spokane Interstate fair
and livestock show this fall and the
shire mare, the only entry in an ex-
ceptionally strong shire showing, was
also grand champion.
The dairy cattle include the three
year old university bull, MAT" fire.
quent prize winner, and three first
prize Jerseys from the herd sent to
the Spokane show The Other entries
will be representative Of the dairy
herd.
Professor G. w. Hickman, animal
at the college of agricll
ture, will have charge of the horses
at the fair and will also do some ex

UNWRITTEN HISTORY IS
BROUGHT To SURFACE

Are you a real pioneer of Idaho
If so you should be in attendance al
the pioneer reunion at Lewiston today
where you would be more than wei.
come by the Lewiston people. We
wonder if the pioneers who were in
attendance at the meetings held in
Moscow, Orofino or Hope, realize the
value of these gatherings.
Idaho, as a state, is rich in histor-
ical events, many of which have never
been recorded, and it is at these meet
ings of pioneers that a portion of the
unrecOrded history is made known.
Harry a day passes but that some
of these wonderful old people, who
have played such an important part
in the development of our state, are
called to their final reward, and thus
much of Idaho's real history is for
ever lost.
Lewiston is one of the historic pla-
ceS of Idaho and to the student OF
Idaho history, the epoch of the Spal-
dings, MaGruder, Lewis and Clark,
Chief Joseph, William Craig and many
others, are markers of the progress
of the state. This coupled with the
fact that the Lewiston pioneers are
greatly interested in the recording of
these facts, and are always to be found
at these meetings, no matetr where
held. AT the meeting held in Moscow
this spring, Mrs. J. e. Babb, DR.. Nor
ris and r. d. Leeper were in atten-
dance, while Professor H. l.. Talking
ton was only prevented by his alb
sence from the city.
Those persons who attend the Lew
iston meeting will be fully repaid for
their trip in renewing many acquain-
tances of old, and retelling of the
days of early Idaho.
The wonderful Lewiston spirit is
in evidence at the meeting and nothing
is spared to make the two days a per-
iod of real enjoyment to those who
are able to attend.
