Ten times he did this, and then the
grand prior pointed to two of the
masked figures in the stalls and they
came down to the table and as one
called the numbers the other wrote
them down.
When they had finished Pawter
swept the little disks into the palm of
his hand and dropped them into the
barrel. Again the barrel spun, again
he drew forth. one by one, 10 num-
bers and laid them on the table. The
two men who had examined the first
had returned to their stalls. and now
the prior pointed tottwo others. who
moved forward, called and checked the
numbers and returned to their places.
Five times this happened and when
it was finished the grand prior spoke
'"The fourth drawing is the true
drawing, by order of the priors."
Pawter checked the numbers care
fully, and as he was doing so the
priors rose, deep voice began the
chant of victory, and they filed out
one by one.
He frowned. What did that mean?
Never before had the priors left their
stalls until the names of the winners
had been announced.
AS though divining his thoughts, the
man in purple spoke.
ut is not seemly that names should
be given, for who knows what envy
they may excite. And is not envy
the very foulest of all human vices?
Come with me, my brother, to the
registry"
Pawter followed, alert, suspicious.
The registry was a small lofty room,
where, behind steel doors, were the
records of the order. The only light
admitted was through a narrow win.
dow placed near the ceiling and
heavily barred, and a swinging kero-
sene lamp supplied the illumination of
the apartment. 1t seemed to Pawter
that the lamp was turned unusually
low.
t'Will you sit on the other side OF
the table, Mr.. Pawter?" said the voice
of the masked man, courteously.
He turned, opened the safe. and
took out, not the book that Pawter
expected, the register of names and
numbers. Instead he opened thin
blotter and exposed to the astonished
eyes of the auditor five checks, already
filled.
You will sign these"
but, grand prior" protested Paw
ter, 'I have not checked the names
with the numbers. How did you know
that these men would win the argosy?"
You will sign those checks-please,"
said the voice again.
IN do nothing Of the Sort said
Pawter, jumping to his feet. What
possesses you, Mr.. Stone?'
The figure raised his hand.
There is no name here for me but
grand prior" he said. Sign"
I'm afraid / cannot" Pawter threw
down the pen he had picked up and
was moving away from the table
when:
IF you value your life. sign"
He turned his head; he was looking
into the muzzle of an automatic pis-
tol and the fire in the eyes that
| showed through the cowl blazed bale

There was a silver gilt shovel like a
sugar scoop on the table and with the
aid of this Pawter shoveled the disks
into the barrel until every one was in

and, rolling his sleeve to his right
shoulder. held up his bare arm, his
fingers outstretched. Then without

yTTITH the formal opening of Yel- w lowstone National Park for this year on June 19, there will be dedicated at the head of the recent ly completed Gallatin Gateway a distinctive structure which will provide visitors to this increasing ly popular park with the highest type of accommodations and at the same time become a practical monument to the two pioneers who blazed the first trail to the Pacific through this region.
 The new Gallatin Gateway Inn, at which tourists will transfer from the main transcontinental line of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway to the Yellow stone Park buses, takes it's name from the Gallatin River, christened by Lewis and Clark when they reached this junction point on their voyage of exploration across the

continent in 1903. The highway leading from the Inn to Old Faith ful and the other sights of Yellow stone was completed only a few months ago. Known as the Gala tin Gateway, it pierces some of the most primitive country yet remain ing. On either side of the Gallatin Canyon, which the new road fol- lows, and between the snow-clad peaks of this eastern slope of the Rockies, are mountain Businesses never trod by any white man.
 The Gallatin Gateway Inn, cost ing approximately half million dollars, will contain more than two hundred rooms and will be equip ped and furnished in the most luxurious manner. The formal opening of the Inn prior to June 19 will be marked by elaborate cere- monies. The operation of the hotel will be entirely under the direction of the Milwaukee Railroad.

 Alone and ignorant I picked out a path, but how I did cuss the prickly pears, which I found out, are called devils clubs, and believe me, they are rightly named, for every time I wanted something to hang on to, in variably grabbed a handful of thorns. Within 15 minutes my hands were bleeding and the air turned blue, for indeed I had learned a new language. I hope no one heard me. Then to cap that, found that I had stumbled upon a polecat's nest You never saw a! man scramble through deep brush and messy logs so fast. I'm almost sure I did 1OO-yard dash going up, in nine

Finding a club for an alpine-stock, I tried the grass areas. but found the snow easier to get footing. Soon the gray >monster rising before me explained that was "between the devil and the deep blue sea- for on either side were fiat, loose expanses of shale that looked too dangerous for me, leaving a ridge like a spinal column made out of boulders, that al- most gave me heart failure I chose the mountains vertebra for further | ascent.
 At each ledge from there I looked up and disgustingly said; Holy cats, another 14,OOO feet more or less" But trudging on, 1 found amusement in pushing off loose boulders to see how far they would roll, and when they bumped into multiplication, it made me start to think that if I should | follow one of them in this playful rampage, I would probably be picking myself up with blotter.

 Deciding to try, I took every pre- caution, and with my trusty old stick as a brake, sat down and became a human toboggan. This, to me, was the biggest thrill of a lifetime. It was foolish I know, for if I had hit a hidden rock, I would have no more seat in my pants than a baboon.

DICKEY COUNTY
!, HERDS GETTING
7. B. RETE STS
HOl That County May Be
PHI I'D on Accredited List
Is Expressed

Hope that Dickey county will be
placed on the accredited list of
North Dakota counties which are
fee from bovine tuberculosis was
expressed here today by DIR. w. +.
Crewe, state veterinarian.
Work Of retcsting Dickcy county
herds now is going forward, Dr.
Crewe said, and should be completed
by July /. Retests Of infected herds
also are being made i'm Pembina
Cavalier, Burke and Sargent coun-
ties, DR.. Crewe- said, and these should
also find a place on the accredited
list this year.
A county is placed on the accredit-
ed list only after it has been tested
and all, tuberculin infected cows
eliminated and a retest is made to
determine that it has not a gain be-
come infected. Whenever a retest
shows less than one-half of one per
cent of animals which react to the
tuberculin test it is placed on the
list.
Is Intended As Aid
Although intended primarily as an
aid to the herd owne~ tuberculin
testing Of cattle also puts money into
the pockets of hog raisers in ac-
credited counties, DR.. Crewe said.
The reason is that packing plants
pay premium Of 10 cents per 100
pounds for hogs from tuberculin
free counties. This premium totaled
$4,000 in North Dakota last year
and will become larger as the num-
Der Of counties in the accredited list
increases and the number of hogs
increases.
The hog premium will be es-
pecially important in Dickey and
Sargent counties because Of the
large number Of hogs raised there,
DR.. Crewe said. Both counties are
rapidly cominp to the front as pork
producing sections.
Packing plants make a rrofit on
hogs from accredited counties even
after the premium has been paid, DR..
Crewe said, statistics showing that
fewer animals from such counties
are condemned because they are un-
fit for food.
