There has been a plentitude of
legislative measures introduced
in the House and Senate despite
the lack of organization. The
numerous petitions dealing with
every subject Of interest to local
communities have been filed
with the appropriate committees,

affairs. The principal measure
submitted to the Senate during
the week was the bonus bill,

On the floor Of the cave, stretched
f. upon a couch of dry bracken, lay a
man. He was not spectacle which
in any way gladdened the eye.
He was big and lusty Of limb; what
little could be seen Of his face through
weeks growth Of brown stubble was
| haggard. His beak Of q nose jutted
between two fierce deep-sunk eyes. One
of his legs was extended, and swathed
from foot to knee In dripping-wet cal
| leo bandages that looked as If they
had been ripped from wOman's gar
ment.
Billy found himself looking down
the muzzle Of small repeating pistol,
held in hairy but very steady fist.
"Stop right where you are" said the
occupant Of the cave, reclining on one
elbow. Don't move a step forward,
nor yet a step back. Get meT'
Billy stopped Obediently. He cal
culated the distance between them to
be a dozen feet; there was no likeli-
hood of capturing the pistol before
the bullet struck him. The eyes Of
the man showed that he meant bust
ness. He was in fact, less like man
than crippled wolf.
"Jack the Climber" said Billy
blandly, 81 am pleased to meet you.
I've been looking for you quite a
while"

said.

STOPPING gait, bending low as she
threaded between the bushes. She
reached a point against the cliff on
Billy's side, three hundred yards far
Their along, close by tangle Of under
growth. There she halted, and, look
ing round her quickly. disappeared
with extreme suddenness.
"Great Christopher said Billy.
He rose to his knees, staring at the
place where she had vanished. His
eyes were bright, his face had lit up.
II was right" he said In hushed
tone. but. gee! 1 never thought Of
this"
He rose, as II to follow. but on Sec
ond thoughts subsidized again and
waited. He remained there fully ten
minutes, when the figure reappeared,
and hurried along the pit bottom in
his direction.
Billy wormed himself hurriedly I'M
der the tangled briars at some cost to
his skin. The woman passed him
within seventy yards, walking rapidly.
She was no longer carrying the bundle.
When she had passed, Billy peeped
after her. Though he could not see
her face, he had not the slightest
doubt who she was. She disappeared
round the bend of the pits.
Billy extricated himself cautiously
from the bush and waited for some
time on his knees, staring in the d.
rection she had taken. There was
nothing more to be seen of her. Then,
springing to his feet he sprinted to
the spot where she had first vanished
with the bundle.
The bushes partially cloaked the
mouth Of one Of the many crag caves /;
the entrance was not difficult to find
when one was close to 1t. Billy walked

eisely what he sxpoceod.

Inspector Arkwright looked both
surprised and irritated.

lady" he said abruptly, "and my tast
is to clear this matter up. Out Of
consideration for you, I have come
here quite openly, and what my In.

The inspector was plainly taken
aback by his reception His lips tight
ened to thin line. Just then a DO
liceman on bicycle came riding rap
idly along the drive. II was Constable
Poison.
BEG pardon, sir" he said, dis
mounting and saluting the inspector,
''have you found the man you arc
looking for here7"
- "Why7" said Arkwright abruptly.
"Weu, sir, I know him by sight, Of
course" said Poison In a lower voice
-'the chauffeur, I mean-and as
came of the stanhoe r0ad awhile ago,

The three of them departed to-
gether hurriedly in the direction Of
the park boundary.
Lady Erythea stared after them
with mingled anger and anxiety. She
waited for some time on the steps,
bordering, and then went slowly in
doors. Her eyes were troubled.
The three police, crossing the park,
left 1t by wicket gate near the
sweet-briar clump. After short con-
sultation with Poison, Inspector Ark
wright gave an order. The three men
spreading out In a wide semi-circle,
stalked the crag-pits by way Of the

SEED INSPECTION

| Several large importations of alfal-
ia seed are being dispersed in this
country. 1t is entirely possible that
some of this alfalfa which is Turk
estan" will reach Idaho, says C. r.
Allison, Field Agronomist and State
Seed Commissioner.
This variety Is not suited for the
intermountain country. 1t is slow In
making growth after the first cutting
and does not yield with the native
grown common or Grimm. The color
Of the seed is dull and has a light
brown tinge.
Aside from the variety the weed
seed content Is most Objectionable.
Russian KNAPP weed is invariably
found in the "Turkestan" alfalfa. The
seed is ivory in color almost the size
of bull thistle seed. The weed is a
perennial and as persistant as the
Canada thistle or morning glory.
In 1920 there were 100 carloads of
Turkestan alfalfa which reached the
Pacific Coast.
Timely publicity checked the sale
Of this seed in Idaho. However, a
few growers purchased seed to plant
and today have their fields taken with
this most noxious weed. Four of these
growers practised clean cultivation
all last summer without complete err
adication but hope to kill the Rus
sian KNAPP weed this summer.
Saving few cents a pound on The
seed proved poor system of parctic-
ing economy.
This year the four growers herein
referred to have submitted samples to
the State Seed Laboratory, Boise, for
analysis in order that they would
know that the seed is suitable for
planting. Surely the growers are not
going to take loss similar to the
above, in order to truly realize that
It pays to have the seed tested.
Northern Idaho growers may for-
ward samples to the branch labora-
tory at Moscow.

CHRISTMAS

For MANY centuries the 25th day of December has
been observed Christmas. 1t is supposed to COM
memorate the day birth Of Jesus Christ At first
the day observed ouy by Christian people in touch
with the Roman Catholic Church 1t later grew into
favor with Protestant Churches and has come to be
recognized as universal Christmas festival Today it
is celebrated throughout the world, in lands as
well as Christian lands. 1t nearer to bring
universal holiday than any other day observed by
kind. There is spirit and atmosphere about the
day that is contagious While vast muttudes of people
may observe the day without any serious thought to
what lies back of it, there still great nult1tudes to
whom has significance because it marks the day OF birth
of Jesus in Nazareth the Gift of God to lost world.
We may not think much of what lies back of the
gifts which pass among u.s. but every one OF them is
related to the "Immeasurable Gift which sprang from
the love of Cod If God had not loved the world
to give his only begotten Son. there would be no Christ
and Christmas gifts. Every token of love that
passes from person to another is but reflection
of that great love that expressed itself in the gift Of
God. The angels which came over BethlehemS field
and the shepherds who gathered in the humble
in Bethlehem have had their songs reechoed and the
gift duplicated in all ages since. Gods gift
Interpretation of the universal heart of mankind and
through the centuries that heart has responded in it's
nnumerable gifts at yuletide.
1t will be we'll for individuals, if recognize
the from which Christmas cheer has sprung
while we thank the loved ones from whom have
ceived Christmas gifts let us not forget to thank the
Heavenly Father from whom has the Gift that has
been the inspiration of all gifts 1t wise of
old who spoke of God one 'in whom we live and
and have being" There is cause for daily
gratitude to the author of being who showers upon
daily blessings and who ministers unto in count
less ways for comfort and joy. But it is when
contemplate what God has done for our salvation
what he has wrought for redemption what he has
given for enrichment in spiritual we-being that
there is awakened in deep and true thankfuness
when people think Of their Christmas obligations as
duties they find them hard of fulflment, but when
they think of them return of gratitude to God for
his 'lmmeasurable Gift, they become pleasure It
will be well for in the midst of Christmas festi
vities to take time to reflect upon the supreme Gift
there will come not, only gratitude to Cod but that
inspiration to obedience in which shall find life
everlasting.
