The coolie sought the river bed, az
directed, and, stopping every dozen
yards as if looking intently for some
lost object, to divert suspicion, as he
boosted afterward, reached the BODY
of the man in foreign clothing.
So the remains of the Lord of the
Thunder Gate, the true Kayama, were
dragged through the dust Of alleys ia
his home. The coolie hid Kayama be-
hind a clump of willows and slipped
around to the servants portion of the
house and asked timidly, with MANY
self-obliterating bows, for the lord.
The old maidservant to whom he
spoke was caustic.

Will give you q portion"
"Yoh, little mani Kayama-San will
see you. Remember" in a low voice,
half of the money is mine"
She padded off and into the house,
to return shortly after.
"Who knows OF the finding of the
fellow? Your wife? Tell her to keep
her tongue against her mouth, and to
speak of it to no one The lord him
self will pay the amount of the re-
ward. Where Is the dead man? AT
the gate? Wait. / will inform Kaya-
ma-San," and she hurried back and
into the house.
Wells received her news calmly he
thought for moment quickly, then
announced that he would view the
body.
"You are indeed one of no intelli-
gence," he snorted to the frightened
coolie. This is no white man. He
Is japanese. You have been drink
ing. Your head is added. 1t would
be dlstasseful for me to investigate a
murder during my marriage week.
Yoh Here Is a half-roll of gold. Be
silent, and see that your wife is silent.
Also, If it comes to me that you visit
drinking-shop," Wells was thinking
Of the inn, more punishment will visit
you than you can dream Of"
When the coolie stumbled off, count
ing the gold (undivided), Wells turned
to the servant.
"You see that this man is Japa-
nese? Good. Look closely. He resem-
bles my august family. 1t must be
that he is distantly, at least. related.

The old servant, whose eyes were
failing, glanced at the body without
interest

Big Idea Well Presented

We have had many stories of
the bravery Of the North West
Mounted Police. but never have
we had the angle presented so
dramatically in THE Man She
Brought Back" a Playgoers
feature playing at the Gregg

Perhaps that is because Jasper
Ewing Brady wrote the story.
which is about young Mounted
Police recruit who is over
whelmed by fear the first time
he is sent out to get a man. He
fails and is dishonored before
the girl he loves. Then it is her
faith in his potential courage
that brings out his manhood. OF
course he makei good, and there
by hangs a dramatic climax to
a thoroughly entertaining tale.

Miller is the charming young
daughter of Charles Miller, pro-
Queer and dicrector of the film.

WHAT OTHERS THINK OF
THE BONE BILL

Big town politicians looking for
soft jobs and property going OF
tax rolls to increase local burdens
does not listen good.-Port Angeles
News.
Let's pass this 40 mill levy limit
bill, the so-called school bill which
is guaranteed by proponents to raise
taxes, and the Bone Bill which will
also raise taxes and then sit back and
watch the state go to he'll. Wouldn't
it be one merry whirl? Pass two bills
which will make taxes even higher
and at the same time pass \ bill
which would cut the tax below what
it is today.-Dayton Chronicle.
1t is idle talk about state conserva-
ton under the Bone bill for it does
MT exist. There isn't anything in the
bill that talks about state conserva-
ton and what we have to do with is
the bill itself and not some vague
theory. Some very definite PROPOSE
tons are made in the bill, which
would be Of very great advantage to
Seattle and Tacoma, those being the
only cities which could take advan-
tage Of the bill at present, and before
we do so much conserving for them,
we are entirely within our rights in
asking them to be very definite in
their proposals to us. To date they
have not given out single word that
could be taken as a guarantee of any
thing. Possibly that is good business
for the rest of the state, and then
again, possibly it is not.-Grandview
Herald.
The Bone bill provides that power
plants may be acquired by vote
of city councils rather than by vote
of the people. Would you be willing
to have the council of the city Of
Seattle plunge you into debt to carry
through a super-power program, after
all of the waste and bungling written

river produce hydro-electric power
