found that method of scaling wall both quick and easy. Yaqui pulled up the lasso, and threw the stick aloft in- to another crack. He climbed to an- other shelf, and Gale followed him. The third effort brought them to more rugged bench hundred feet above the slides The Yaqui worked round to the left and turned into dark Assure Gale kept close at his heels. They came out presently into lighter space yet one that restricted any extended view. Broken sections of cliff were on all sides.
 Here the ascent became toll. Gale could distance Yaqui going dOwnhill; on the climb. however, he was hard put to it 10 keep the Indian in sight It was not question of strength or lightnesS of foot These Gale had be- yond the share of most men. IL was matter of lung power, and the "a qui's life had been spent sealing the desert heights. Moreover, the climbing was infinitely slow tedious, dangerous
  imagined he heard a dull roar of fall ing water. The sound seemed to be under him, over him, to this side and to that. When he was certain he could locate the direction from which it came then he heard 1t no more until he had gone on Gradually he forgot it in the physical sensations of the climb. He burned his hands and knees. He grew hot and wet and winded. His heart thumped so that 1t hurt, and there were instants when his sight was blurred When at last he had toiled to where the Yaqui sat awaiting him upon the rim of that great wall, 1t was none too soon.
 Gale lay back and rested for while without note of anything except the blue sky. Then he sat up. He was amazed to find that after that wonder full climb he was only thousand feet or so above the valley. Judged by the nature of his effort, he would have said he had climbed mile. The village lay beneath him, with it's new adobe struc- lures and tents and buildings in bright contrast with the older habitations. He saw the green alfalfa fields, and Beld- ing's white horses, looking very small and motionless. He pleased himself by imagining he could pick out Blan- co Sol. Then his gaze swept on to the river.
 Indeed. he realized now why some one had named 1t Forlorn river. Even at this season when 1t was full of water | it had forlorn aspect It was doomed never to mingle with the waters of the Gulf. It wound away down the valley, l growing wider and shallower, en- | croaching more and more on the gray flats, until it disappeared on its sad l journey toward Sonoyta. That vast shimmering sun-governed waste recog- nized it's life only at this flood season and was already with parched tongue and insatiate fire licking and burning up its futile waters.
 Yaqui put a hand on Gales knee It was a bronZed, scared, powerful hand, always eloquent of meaning The Indian was listening. His bent head, his strange dilating eyes, his rigid form, and that close pressing

partners. HG led discovered the source of Forlorn river, and was rlch in water. Yaqui had made him rich in gold. Gale wanted to rush ao"n the slope, down into the valley, ana tell his wonderful news.
 Suddenly his eyes cleared and ne saw the pile of stones. His blood turned to ice, then to fire. That was the mark of prospector's claim. But it was old, very old. The ledge hao never been worked. The slope was wild. There was not another single indication that prospector had ever been there. Where, then, was he who had first staked this claim? Gale wondered with growing hope, with the fire easing, with the cold passing.
 The Yaqui uttered the low, strange, involuntary cry so rare with him. cry somehow always associated with death. Gale shuddered.
 The Indian was digging in the sand and dust under the shelving wall. He threw out an object that rang against the stone It was belt buckle. He threw out old shrunken, withered boots. He came upon other things, and then he ceased to dig.
 The grave of desert prosrectors! Gale had seen more than one. Ladd had told him many story of such gruesome finds. It was grim hard fact.
 Then the keen-eyed Yaqui reached up to little projecting shelf of rock and took from 1t small object. He showed no curiosity and gave the thing to Gale.
 How strangely Gale felt when he re- ceived into his hands a flat oblong box, Was it only the influence of the Yaqui, or was there nameless and unseen presence beside that grave? Gale could not be sure. But he knew he had gone back to the old desert mood. He knew something hung in the balance. No accident, no luck. no debt-paying Indian could ac- count wholly for that moment Gale knew he held in his hands more than gold
 The box was tin one, and not af all rusty. Gale pried open the re- luctant lid A faint old musty odor penetrated his nostrils. Inside the box lay packet wrapped In what once might have been oilskin. He took 1t out and removed this covering A folded paper remained In his hands.
 It was growing yellow with age. But he described a dim tracery of words. A grabbed scrawl. written in blood, hard to read! He held 1t more to the light, and slowly he deciphered its contents:
 "We. Robert Burton and Jonas War ren, give half of this gold claim to the man who finds 1t and half to Nell Burton, daughter and granddaugh- ter"
 Gasping. with a bursting heart, overwhelmed by an unutterable joy of divination, Gale fumbled with the pa Ter until he got 1t open.
 It was a certificate twenty-one years old, and recorded the marriage of Robert Burton and Nellie Warren.

EX-KAISER May
Be Leaving EXILE
CLAIM WILL BE RESTORED TO
THRONE = RECEIVES PASS
PORTS TO GERMANY

Brussels.-(A P.)-The former
German emperor. is preparing to re-
turn to the fatherland. He already
and his suite and the Brus-
sells Gazette goes so far as to say
that it is expected the Hohenzollern
monarchy will be restored on De-
cember 4, William or his son, the
former crown prince, Frederick Will
lam, ascending the throne.
Private advices from Doom, re-
ceived by the Agence Telegraphique
Beige, says that a courier, Won
Hoechst, arrived at Doom at 4
o'clock this afternoon with IL Ger
man passports for the ex-kaiser and
his immediate encourage. A tele-
gram in cipher was received there in
the morning and early in the after
noon there was a long conference be-
tween William and those close to
him.
Later a Dutch official and DR..
Kahn, of the ministry interior, called
and was closeted with the former en-
peror for 35 minutes.
A wireless system has been ar
ranged at the Doom house, which
has been the residence of the head
of the Hohenzollerns during the lat
er years Of his internment in Hol-
land, and messages are received from
Nauen at noon daily.
Hears Passports Been Given
Paris.-A dispatch to the Matin
from Brussels says the correspond
ent, in view of the press reports on
the subject of the return of the form
er emperor to Germany, telephoned
to Amsterdam, and was told that no
thing was known in official circles
concerning the reports.
He learned, however, that there
were reports that the former emper-
or had received passports. The cor
respondent points out that DR.. Kahn,
of the Dutch ministry of the interior,
who had a half hour interview with
the former emperor, played a role in
the preliminaries for the departure
of former Crown Prince Frederick
William from Holland.

WOULD RESTORE INSTITUTES
AND REINSTATE COMMISSIONER

Pocatello, Nov. 12-That teachers
institutes IN idaho should be restored
and that the commissionership should
again be filled were two important
decisions reached by a vote of the
Technical Institute faculty this week
while discussing the issues that are
to come before the annual conven-
tion of the Idaho State Teachers as
sociation to be held here the last Of
this month.
PROFESSOR c. H. Lewis, in arguing
for favoring the policy of restoring
institutes, said that these meetings
were more than worth their insignifi-
cantly small administrative cost in
the inspiration given teachers to
work harder for high standards,
that Idaho institutes have been par
ticularly valuable in recent years,
and that they are usually held at the
time when schools are closed for po-
tato and beet harvesting.
