off. 1t sounded no nearer now that
her ear was at the wall than when she
had stood in the middle of the room.
Her heart hammering, the girl went
from wall to wall and listened behind
the screens of tapestry. There was
very little difference between one side
of the room or another for the sound,
but she imagined that The voice came
more distinctly from beyond the wall
where was the locked door.
If there's some one there. wait long
enough after I've spoken for the echo

and distinctly. Then answer, and 1
can be sure
Now" she thought, this will be
the test. And ii there is some one,
surely 1t must be a prisoner like my
self. Otherwise, whoever 1t is would
have kept still or else tried TO scare
me and stop my making noise"
Again the echo followed her words,
but before there was time for the
voice test something moved behind
the locked door. There was a sound
as Of another door being opened and
cautiously shut, a sound such as the
sliding door of big wardrobe might
make in being pushed back and forth
in its groove.
The thought shot through the girl S
brain that the mystery of her kidnap-
ing would now be revealed, for better,
for worse. The door was being un-
locked. She heard the noise Of a slid
ing bolt, and, with a quick inspiration.
pushed her body close against the
wall, so that, even if she could not
escape, she might hope for a glimpse
of what lay beyond the door.
Suddenly it opened. and, hardly

boldly forward, striving to dodge a
thrust-out arm. But the arm was
strong and pushed her back so vio-
lently that she might have fallen had
she not caught at the tapestry. 1t was
so dim behind this curtain, and so
black was the space beyond the door.
that she could see nothing on the
other side. Even the owner of the
arm was but a dark shadow to her
eyes until she had been forcibly de-
tached from her hold on the hangings
and thrust into the room. Then, in
the greenish light. Pan saw a tall.
stoop-shouldered man wearing a queer
old d-fashioned cape overcoat and "A
soft. wide ebrimmed hat. His face was
hidden with a black mask which ap-
peared to be made of one or two
thicknesses of Grape. Even his ewes
were covered, but the girl caught a
faint sparkle from them like that of
star filmed over by a thin black
cloud.

Her heart was beating so hard and
her breath was coming in such short
gasps. She must give up the hope
that she was caught in a dream.
Now the creature had turned away.
He was sticking a key into the door
and taking 1t out again, having osten-
tatiously grated il in rusty lock.
Pan thought that IL only she had a
hammer she would try to stun him AS
he stopped and steal the key. But she
had TO weapon at all--unless she at

was no time to run acrCss the room
and get one however; and, besides,
the struggle would be too unequal. 1t

The man wheeled round and stood
quietly surveying her through the

Pan gazed intently at the hand with
the key, trying to recognize il. There
was great deal of character in hands
she had always thought, and had
boasted that she could identify those
of any friend, though his face were
hidden and the figure concealed. But
this mans hands told her nothing.
They were very brown and curiously
stiff looking, like the hands of clay
models for statues. 1t occurred to the
girl that If she were nearer and could
see more clearly through the green

and followed by a general betterment
In business volume and profits, c.. T.
Jaffray, president of the road, said
Thursday.
"The good earnings figure for Sep
TENDER, showing a gain of nearly ST.
100000 as compared with September
of last year, was due largely to the
big volume of grain and other freight
hauled by the 500 during the month, :"
Mr.. Jaffray said. "The harvesting
and consequently the marketing Of
northwest grain got under way con-
siderably earlier than in 1924 and
this meant that the 500 and other
northwest roads had a larger per-
centage of the crop to move in Sep
TENDER than a year ago. Therefore
the operating earnings showed a very
good gain for the month.
The favorable financial report of
the 500 Line revives interest in the
proposed extension of the line to the
Coast. Citizens of 500 line towns in
Sheridan County and North Dakota
were very optimistic about the build
ing of the road when they learned
of the huge earnings Of the 500 in
1925.
OUTLOOK WOULD BENEFIT
It was pointed out that the towns
affected would show a new growth
by reason of the 500 becoming a
transcontinental road Outlook, by
reason of being situated in the cen
ter of a rich agricultural territory,
would be one Of the main Montana
towns on the line, and has a pos
sibility of becoming the best town
in Northeastern Montana.
Because of the shorter route to the
east and west the 500 would draw
from the territory now traversed By
the Great Northern This would al
tend to build up the 500 line towns
with the result that the citizens OF
these places are watching the situa-
ton closely

SID BENEFITS
BRAND

There is considerable talk in town
about a colt which disappeared from
the pasture of a farmer named C. K.
Hanson some time ago. Mr.. Hanson
searched high and low for the miss
ing colt for several weeks and then
gave him up for lost. But as a wan
dering Jew turns towards Jerusalem
and a Mohammedan makes tracks for
Mecca when he gets a chance, so this
colt came back to the pasture where
he was bred and reared. He bore a
brand and the brand was identified
as Sid Benefits, the well known
ScObey Republican politician. Mr..
Bennett disclaims responsibility for
the strange occurrence and saws he
did not put his brand on Hanson's
colt. Many people believe that there
is a mistake somewhere and that Mr.
Bennett would not ccndescend to
steal such a small thing as a colt.

Sheridan county was cOmbed for
weeks for evidences of violation of
the liquor laws and the net result was
the sending to Jail of a 77-year-old
farmer who had in his possession one
gallon of stuff which he was making
for himself. They could not find
a trace of liquor in any of the pool
rooms of the Sheridan county towns.
This coupled with the fact that they
had to make a victim out of this

orably on the 'gang" here and is
