Aimee came as near to sheer manic
as She had ever been yet when, after
overhearins from her colgn of yan-
tage in the second floor window the
questions Of the police, she saw them
start for the crag pits.

his way, in the same direction Sba
had seen him 90, and guessed his
errand. Bertrand, at least. was an
ally.
I'D rather they got me than Billy y"
she said with a little sob.
The one obvious and reasonable
thing for Aimee to do. was to remain
where She was. To lie low, like Rrar
Rabbit, and take no part in tbe con,

1t was precisely the thing which ber

Billy had gone. On arriving Mt the
mouth, however, she discovered her
mistake. Through gap in the brush

siderable distance farther along the
pits. And with him was de Jussac.

Of getting away with things.
She saw the party disappear into
the cave nearest them; she witnesseu
the emerEence OF Billy. and was a""re
of a certain relief OF tension when
the police returned and spoke win
him. Finally. wondering as she
watched, Aimee observed the arFtSai

distance was considerable. But fhe
significance OF that pathetic figure on
the gate came home to her. Aimee
was not slow OF comprehension. sue
began to realize the meaning OF u an
The police had what they wanted.
The captive could be no other than
Jack the Climber himself. Billy had
"got away with II" with a vengeance.
Aimee was staring dumbly at the
group, when she heard faint animal
Ike noise close beside her. She turned
sharply, to lind that she was not
alone.
A woman, In stained and ragged
dust-cloak, was crouchlng behind the
screen OF brambles a few yards away.
She was young, and not Unlocking
save for the deathly pallor Of her face
and the disorder OF her hair. Indeed,
there was Wild gipsylsh beauty
about her, that survived even the
hunted expression in her eyes.
She was staring through the bushes
at the distant group.

strangled whisper. She huddled her
self together trembling.

Aimee did not move. Her heart
beat fast. But there was no menace
in the woman's eyes; only an express
sion so broken and piteous that some
how lump came into Aimee's throat.
She had not the faintest doubt who
this hunted woman was.
You snow who | am the woman
said thlckly; 81 can see It in your
face" She came a step nearer. "Art

Aimee did not answer that question,
"Is he much hurtf" she said quietly,
looking towards the distant group
round the man on the gate.
"Hurt?" said Calamity Kate. He

Palace Cafe Scene
of Feverish Action

Amid the din of hammer and
saw piled on every hand about them,
John Pappas and Gust Chiolis, own
ers Of the Palace Cafe which closed
its doors last Monday for the pur-
pose Of completely remodeling the
place, tried yesterday afternoon to
give a summary OF operations and a
prediction Of the opening date.
The conversation ran something
like this: whats the size OF this
new part, Mr.. Pappas?"
cts 40 feet long by-no. boys,
we will want that bench over here"
THAT new canopy for the range
is a dandy. isn't 1t. Mr.. Chiolis? How
long did you Say it was?"
"Just 20 feet, and it will catch
all the smoke that-careful. boys.
Someone asked when the com
pletely remodeled cafe would open
and learned that "all those kettles
would have to go over there.' Cues
tioning was almost hopeless. so busy
was everyone, but it was found that
the proprietors hoped to be in their
new place New Years Day. When
1t does open. the new Palace Cafe
will be an exceedingly fine place,
featuring a new kitchen, booths for
the comfort OF guests, a p%rofusion
Of mirrors. and many other items
that spell the difference between q
first-olass cafe and other types.
New floors and ceilings are being
! placed and the room formerly occu-
pied by the cafe and kitchen is be-
ing thoroughly redecorated. The
new kitchen occupies part of the new
France building, giving the place a
length of nearly 100 feet over all
| and a width of 25 feet.

Services at the
Methodist Church

Last Sunday morning Rev. Will
j.. Law, pastor, took for his theme
THE Vision Of a Great Prophet
and for his text he read 1siah GIL:
I'm the year that King uzziah died
I saw the Lord sitting upon His
throne, high. and lifted up and His
train filled the temple"
He safd that the vision OF the
prophet was OF far more value to
the interests OF the world than the
passing of the king. The history of
King Uzziah Is scarcely known to-
the greatest Of Gods prophets.
Isaiah's vision revealed to him
that there is another king sitting
upon His throne high and lifted up.
"and His name shall be called Won
derful Councillor. the Mighty God
the Everlasting Father. the Prince
Peace. and the governments shall be
upon His shoulders"
He showed also that lsaiah's Wis
ion revealed that Gods provence
was not provincial but statewide;
not national but international; not
secterian nor UNCONVENTIONAL but
worldwide. His train filled the
whole temple"
Next Sunday morning Rev. Law
will take for the text of his Christ.

Albert Johnson Is
Acquitted By Jury

Albert Johnson of this city. who
was tried in the Federal Court at
Cheyenne last week of manufacture
ing liquor, was acquitted by the jury
on Saturday evening last.
Attorney l.. T.. Armstrong of this
city was attorney for the defendant.
Attorney Armstrong denies that
he made a remark credited to him
in the Cheyenne Newspaper in con-
nection with the case, which was to
the effect that Carbon county sheep
are branded with hot irons. Attor-
ney Armstrong states that he claim
ed that fire is used to heat the paint
used in branding.
The Cheyenne article regarding
this case was as follows:
Are sheep in Carbon county brand
ed with a hot iron or with paint?
The gasoline burners found on
the premises of Albert johnson,
homesteader. 80 miles out of Raw
Inns. are but two of many used by
sheep men on Slavery creek for heat
ing irons to brand lambs, said l.. f.
Armstrong, J~ohnson's counsel, in
Federal ocurt Saturday.
They may brand sheep in Car
bon county with hot irons. but l
have been led to believe they do It
with paint in most of the other To-
calities.' said District Attorney Wal
ton, the prosecutor.
Whether the burners were used
10 heat branding irons or to operate
1 still for making m~oonshine, wasn't
made clear. but Johnson must have
had some use for them. for after the
jury had acquitted him OF the charge
of possessing them for the manu-
facture of liquor, he demanded that
hat the burners, now in the hands
Of Federal prohibition agents, be
returned TO him. He was also found
not guilty in two other counts. the
the manufacture N possession of
liquor.
Federal agents. who made a trip
10 that locality near Rawlins last
summer. testified that they discover
ed a copper still hidden in some
bushes a half mile from Johnson's
house. They said that no coil was
attached to 1t. but that a trail was
found leoding from II to his home
stead shack, where he burners were
found.

Those around the depot believe
that this temporary shed, put up
