CHAPTER Ix-The Truth at Last.

1t was l o'clock when Mr.. Maverick Mar
kom, pacing uneasi1y up and down the mar
row strip of turf just outside the boundry
wall of Whitening grange, saw the door at
the wallis angle flash open and shut again,
and without so much as a murmur of sound
looked up to find Cleek standing within a
fewpaces of him.
"Gad. l never was so glad to see anybody
in all my days You'll never guess what's
happened, Cleek never! After all my IN
structions. those laundering idiots were too
late to catch Margot and her crew at VIM
bledon, as you wrote me- l went down my
self directly Dolops brought me your note
but it was too late; the police had fright
ened her in some way"
SIT does not matter said Cleek calmly
"Call up Lennard and the limousine and let
us go down to the cottage"
With this Mr.. Narkom was fam to be con-
tent, and once in the car, the few minutes
that elapsed before they reached Gleer cot
tage were passed in silence At the gate
when the limousine drew up. Cleek aroused
himself from his reverie.
'Mr Narkom, get the constables out OF
the way"
Narkom gave a nod of comprehension

spot as quickly as you can, to be ready
when l call for him."
For some minutes Cleek stood in deep
thought then he turned and walked quick
ly back into the house. He had made up
his mind to beard Lord st. Ulmer in his
room, and his quick brain was intent on a
plan by which he should secure an entry.
Three minutes later he stood outside the
door and called softly but piercingly:
"Lord St. Ulmer! Quick! Quick! Fire!
The place is on fire!'
There came faint sound to his strain
ing ears, and again he whispered in that
sibilant whisper: "Lord St. Ulmer, fire!''
He did not have time to repeat it, for
there came the sound of an extremely agile
man leaping from his bed; and another
moment he heard the snick of an unfas-
tened lock, then the door opened.
Cleek waited not second; his foot was
in the narrow aperture, and he was through
the door and had switched on the light
before the other man had realized what
had happened. Then he gave vent on
little low laugh of triumph as with his back
against the closed door he surveyed the
white-faced man who had retreated to the
middle of the room.
"Good evening! Citizen Paul, good
brother apache, so it is you, is it," he said
airily s.Let us have quiet little under
standing mon ami. You do not know me:
But wait. Look!" The serene face writhed
suddenly, and it was as if another man took
his place. ever see chap that looked like
this, friend Paul. eh?"
God The Craftsman"
'.The identical party!' acknowledged
Cleek dandy. "Come! l want to have
a few minutes talk with you, my friend,
and Stop! Don't back away! Stop and
face me. By God! you'll hang for last
nights business if you DON'T"

fellow where he lay. He spiked him to the
wall with the very hammer the hound had
assaulted yon with.
"De Louvisan, or Anatole, had taken up
board and hidden the letters beneath the
floor. Paul had seen him do it, and meant
to get them. But he heard the sound OF
some one stealing through the garden. That
was Lady Katherine Fordham walking in
her sleep. He had no time to lose, SO
he caught up the stick of cosmetic you had
dropped, and scrawled those figures on the
dead mans shirt
''Their meaning, Cleek?" cried Narkom.
"What was it,"
"a very simple one. Park. of the apache
cipher. I remembered it afterward and
letters X PaulXHiding. You see he meant
that if Margot should arrive on the scene
she could know that it was he, Paul, who
had avenged the gang and hidden the let
tiers. By this he meant to win his own par
don from Margot. AS it happened, she had
already taken fright and left the country.
The numbers counted to nine, and l reck-
oned that Paul, noting this fact, must have
trusted to luck to Margot being sharp enough
to take it as a measurement of some kind.
I took it to be nine boards, and was right,
as you know. He would probably have gone
back for the letters, but he fled across the
common, headlong into the arms of the
keeper, whom he shot and knocked sense
less, making use of the mans clothing to
escape.
An exclamation burst from the lips of
General Raynor, followed by the sound OF
something more startling pistol shot.
'God! What was that?"
''The end of De Louvisan's murderer, gen.
eral, / hope, and the everlasting shutting
of the door on Lady Clavering's secret and
yours" said Cleek. "Come quickly, before
the servants arrive on the scene"
He led the way to Lord ST. Ulmers room.
Cleek opened the door with the key, which
had reposed in his own pocket. A strange
sight met their eyes. 1t was evident that
St. Ulmer, or Paul Berton, had been left
handcuffed and bound by ropes to the bed
post, but he managed to evade his bondage
sufficiently to get to drawer in which must
have been loaded revolver and he had thus
set himself free.
'Let the dead past bury its dead" said
Cleek quietly. "The world need only know
that one imposter killed another, and finally
shot himself when the law discovered the
truth"
He bent down and swiftly removed the
handouts from the still figure, and the gen.
eral gave vent to deep sigh of relief.
Cleek smiled.
Good nghtw he said softly, "and good
by Narkom and l will motor back to town,
and perhaps on our way will make point
of calling at Clavering Close and break the
news to Lady Katherine of her erstwhile
fathers death. She cannot grieve deeply,
poor girl, for that which she has never
known-a fathers devotion or a fathers
love; but it will end her suspense. Good
night, general, once more"

OFFICIAL VISIT
TO THIS CITY

w. l.. McLaine, who was station

WALTER MONROE
GONE FOR WEEK
SEEN WAMSUTTER

Walter Monroe, the 15-year-old
son OF Mrs. James Monroe ran away
from his home at the Country Club
last Thursday afternoon about 1880
and no trace of him can be found.
IL was thought for a while he had
been drowned, for his dog came
nome in the evening foot-sore and
covered with mud, however, the
search tina was made for him re-
Vealed the fact that the boy had
called at the Cullen store in Wam-
suffer and had purchased some food.
1t is supposed he caught a freight
out OF Wamsutter and has gone on
west. The Union Pacific has taken
up the case and his picture and de-
scriptlon has been sent to- towns
along the line to California.
Walter is a very sensitive boy
and it is believed he took offense
at an u~nintentional remark which
was made by his mother. When his
step-father, Mr.. James Monroe, who
is a brakeman on trains No. 81 and
% between Green River and Denver,
was last home, Walter told him he
was going hunting to kill a rabbit,
which he himself would for
his father on his return. 1t is be-
lieved that in the meantime the boy
overhead his mother state that when
he went away a younger brother
would be educated at home. This 1t
is surmized, preyed upon the boys
mind, and misunderstanding the re-
mark, he thought he was in the way
so decided to- leave home. This was
far from the thoughts of the par
ents, for as it is explained, what
they really meant vas that he was to
be sent to some relatives at Denver
to be educated in one of the boys
schools in that city, and then the
younger boy would be started in the
Rawlins school.
Mr.. Monroe, when he returned
home and was told of the absence
was almost beside himself, for he
remembered the boys promise to
kill and fry a rabbit and he could
not believe there was anything but
love in the boys heart, both for his
mother and his ~step-father.
Walter has an older brother living
about twelve miles out OF Dixon and
it was thought he might possibly
have started for his brothers home,
Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe made n trip tc
the Snake River and secured the
whole section, but no trace of the
boy can be found. Mrs. Monroe is
the matron of the Country Club and
If anybody can give any Information
or help to locate the boy, it will be
greatly appreciated by the parents

Sunday afternoon July goth at $3.50
the Rawlins team will again play
the Oil Cans at Parco. II dope is
dope and figures don't lie, the game
of the season will be played.
The Oil Cans have been playing
good ball the whole season and n
has usually meant the defeat of the
team that played the refinery city's
team. They had an off day when
they played Hanna.
The Rawlins team has not Jared
sc well this season until 1t hit its
stride at Hanna last Sunday. The
boys got down to real baseball and
played a wonderful game-the kind
of a game the team is capable OF
playing and should continue to play
for the rest OF the season. The
pitching staff has been strengthened
so what else could 1t mean than a
good game?
1t behooves all the baseball fans
in Rawlins and Parco and all the
baseball lovers in the surrounding
territory to- be ON hand when the
curtain Is raised at Parco Sunday.

PHOEBE

DHOEBE, quaintest and most charm
1 ing of names. was first in use among
women Of Greek birth In the Roman
empire. 1t Is derived from Phoebus.
h sun god. or Apollo and signifies
sunny temperament. warm-hearted.
According to Greek mythology, the
original Phoebe was the daughter Of
Gaea. According to a tradition adopt
ed by A~eschylus. she b%equeathed the
Delphic oracle to Apollo. son Of her
daughter Leto. Poetic license calls
the moon pcrsonified phoebe"
phoebe our sister," the deaconess Of
Cenchrea, was commended by Saint
Paul to the Romans; but she has few
namesakes except in England, where
she typifies the quaint, demure, old
fashioned type so popular with British
writer's and poets.
The Italian Febe refers only to the
moon and Is rarely Used as a proper
name. 1t was in reference to the noble
qualities Of the huntress goddess of
the moon TINT Spenser named his love
ly Belphoebe. as he also called his
other warlike heroine, Britomartis, an
individual who later became identified
with Artemis, the moon GODDESS. Ar.
tennis. OF course. Is the Italian Diana.
and Diana, as the sister OF Apollo. was
frequently called Phoebe, so the re-
~lationship, seemingly so %perplexing and
interviewer, is really logical.
In England, Phoebe was a favorlte
name for rural maidens, and the poets
bestowed II upon the simple rustic
charmers to whom they wrote odes and
roundelays. Phoebe's virtues are ex-
tolled In THE Rural Maid:
Her homespun dress in simple neatnsss
lies.
And for no gisrinK eauipaGs she sighs;
Her reputation which II all her boast.
