This was Greek to Clay. He did

Americans Who Made Their Names
Celebrated Were Essentially Men
of Highest character.

"Bill Nye," our own Edgar Wilson
Nye, leaped into fame while writing
humorous sketches for the Laramie
Boomerang, of which he was editor.
The name of "Bill Nye' was bestowed
on him by his office associates. His
book, "Baled Hay" was very popula:
for a time, but, like much humorous
writing, its popularity was ephemeral.
"Bill Nye' was much loved by all who
knew him. He was considered "the
greatest American liar"
William L. Adams was the noted
"Oliver Optic" who wrote more than
a thousand stories. He died much
mourned by young readers, for whom
most of his books were written.
Under the name of Artemus Ward,
Charles F. Browne made a worldwide
reputation as a lecturer and humOrist.
He was an. inimitable wag; his humor
was irresponsible and kept all about
him in a constant state of merriment.
He was the first writer TO adopt
phonetic spelling. He died in 1869.
ELI Perkins" was contemporary
with "Artemus Ward" and it was
Ward who bestowed the nom de plume
upon him. Melville ID. Landon was es-
sentially funny man." but not truly
a humorist. He was gentle, kindly
man and one who loved his fellows.
Henry w. Shaw was the "Josh Bill
ings" of hulnor and homely phi
losophy. He was kicked into fame by
his .Essa on the Muel." which netted
him S1.50. his first money earned In

The Middle Aces

The Middle ages was a period ot
about thousand years In the history
of Europe, beginning with the fall of
the Roman empire in 476 A. D.. and
ending with the fall of the eastern
Roman empire in 1913 A. d. The
Middle ages include the years between
the close of the classic times and the
dawn of the modern era, and consti-
tuted the epoch of feudaIism, chfvaIry
and the Crusades. According to Hal
lam, the Middle ages comprise about
1000 years. from the invasion Of
France by Clovis in 476 to that of Ma
pies by Charles VIII in 1494. From
the close of the Middle ages came the
invention of printing, the discovery of
America and the revival of learning in
the Fifteenth century.

CHAPTER VlI-Continued.

"NOthin' dom, OId-timer. This is
my job, and don't reckon I'll let any
body else tackle it. Much obliged.
Just the same. You're one sure
enough white man, Johnnie"
The little fellow knew that the mat
ger was settled. Clay had decided and
what he said was final. But John
ME worried about it all the way. At
the last moment. when they separated
at the street corner, he added one last
word.
Don't you be too venturesome, son.
If them guys got You it sure would
break nae all up"
Clay smiled cheerfully. THEY'RE
not goin' 70 get me, Johnnie. Don't
forget to remember not to forget yOre
part. Keep under cover for thirty min
utes; then If 1 haven't shown up,
hOller yOre head off for the cops"
They were passing an alley as Clay
finished speaking. He slipped into its
friendly darkness and was presently
lost to sight. 1t ran into an inner
court which was the center of tortu-
Gus passages. The cattleman stopped
TO get his bearings, selected the likeli-
est exit, and brought up in the shell
ter OF a small porch. This, he felt
sure, must be the rear of the house
he wanted.
A strip Of lattice work ran up the
side Of the entrance Very carefully,
testing every Stat with his weight be-
fore trusting himself to it, he climbed
up and edged forward noiselessly upon
the roof. On hands and knees he
crawled to the window and tried to
peer in.
The blind was down, but he could
see that the room was dark. What
danger lurked behind the drawn blind
he could not guess. but after mo-
ment, to make sure that the revolver
beneath his belt was ready for in
slant use, he put his hand gently on
the sash.
His motions were soundless as the
fall of snowfiakes. The window moved
slowly, almost imperceptibly, under the
pressure of his hands. Warily he lift
ed one leg into the room. His head
followed, then the rest Of his body.
He waited, every nerve tensed.
There came to him sound that
sent cold finger-tips playing a tattoo
up and down his spine. 1t was the I'm.
take Of some ones cautious breathing.
His hand crept to the butt of the
revolver. He crouched, poised for
either attack or retreat.
A bath of light flooded the room and
swallowed the darkness. Instantly
Clay's revolver leaped to the air.
