 Kane later told other state wit nesses, according to testimony yes. terday, that he had been swimming at a distance of from 200 feet to 300. yards from shore when his wife screamed for his help.
 A number of clam fishermen who witnessed the drowning at a dis tance of at least a quarter mile succeeded Graham to the stand. They said they heard the screams and saw the couple struggling in the water. Their testimony dif- fered in some respects as to the nature of the screams and the struggle, as to whether the pro- lessor might have been trying to help Mrs Kane ashore.

CHAPTER III

Long before the end OF that first
nightmarish day in Usage, Sabra had
confronted her husband with blazing
eyes. II won't bring up my boy In
town like this! r.
1t had been night and a day fan
tastic with untoward happenings.
Their wagons had rumbled YEARLY
down the broad main street Of the set
tlement--a raw cash in the prairie.
All about, on either side, were wooden
shacks and Indians and dried mud
and hitching posts and dogs and crude
wagons like their own. 1t looked like
pictures Sabra had seen Of California
in 40. They had spent that first
night in a rooming house above one
of the score of saloons that enlivened
the main street-Pawhuska avenue,
it was called. The street stopped
abruptly at either end and became
suddenly prairie.

sound Of piano hammered horribly.
Horses clattered by. Voices came up
in jocose greeting; there were con-
versations and arguments excruciat-
ingly prolonged beneath her window.
Yet somehow she had fallen asleep
in utter exhaustion, only to be awak-
ened by pistol shots, series of blood
curdling yells, the crash and tinkle Of
broken glass. Then came screams Of
women. the sound Of horses galloping.
She lay there, covering. CHM stirred
in his bed, sighed deeply, slept again.
She was too terrified to go to the
window. Her shivering seemed to
shake the bed. She wanted to waken
the child for comfort, for company.
She summoned courage to go to the
window; peered fearfully out into the
dim street below. Nothing. No one
in the street. Yancey's bleeding body
was not lying in the road; no masked
men. Nothing again but the clink of
glasses and plates; the tinny piano,
the slap Of cards.
She longed with unutterable long
ing, not for the sweet security Of her
bed back in Wichita-that seemed I'M
real now-but for those nights in the
wagon ON the prairie with no sound
but the rustic of the scrub oaks, the
occasional stamp of horses hoofs on
dry clay, the ripping Of nearby
stream.

thing important to say, and when she
did not want to have anyone inter-
rupt her or disagree with her.
"And so, if we have parties in the
woods she continued, think what
great help it will be to all the wood
and elves If we have supper room
attached to our store-where after
the parties the wood creatures can
come and have supper.
"Well both be here to serve them
and they'll think great deal Of such
a plan and Of my great wisdom in
thinking it up.
"It will save them great deal Of
work and thought about what to have
to eat. It's such hard thing to
think that is, for so many animals
but for me well, it is SO easy that
it would be quite wrong if didn't
think for them"
Mr.. Owl sat up very straight and
said:
'To-wit, to-woo," and "To-whit to.
who" or it sounded very much like
that.
He meant that he thought it an ex-
cellent scheme. And he went on to
tell Mrs. Owl that she could fix up all
the dishes for the supper and decorate
the tables-and he would 60 3oFth and
hunt for the good things to eat
The store was started right away.
The animals came to buy their things
in the daytime, for Mr.. and Mrs. Owl
shopped at night.
To be sure, in the daytime they
could just take the things right away
as Mr.. and Mrs. Owl were always
half asleep then.
But the animals helped bring more,
too, when they had taken things away,
so although it was a strangely run
store it worked out very well.
Every evening, though, 1t was SO
gay with the chatter Of the wood ami
mails and the fairies and gnomes and
brownies and elves gave many parties
there.
Mrs. Owl made things look most at
tractive, and she always had delicious
goodies.
Mr.. Owl put on big white apron
and a white hat and waited on all
who came to the supper room.
And late into the night the owls
would talk wisely Of this and Of that
sometimes of this sometimes of
that

The greasy food set before them in
the eating house sickened Sabra. She
shrank from the slatternly bold-faced
girl who slammed the dishes down In
front of them on the oilcloth- covered
table. At this same table with them
there was only one, long board ac-
commodating perhaps twenty-sat red

voices, eating with mechanical and
absent-minded thoroughness, shoveling
potatoes, canned vegetables, pie into
their mouths with knives. CHM was
terribly wide awake and noisily I'M
ruly, excited by the sounds and
strangeness about him.
Sabra had taken him up to the bare
and clean enough little room which
was to be their shelter for the night.

become suddenly limp with sleep.

horses, to get what information he

"'For my part, had rather be the

her; was gone with a great fiirt Of his
coat tails. She heard his light step
gathering down the fimsy wooden
stairs. She could distinguish his beau
tiful vibrant voice among the raucous
speech of the other men below.
The boy was asleep in rude box
bed drawn up beside theirs. Black
Isaiah was bedded down somewhere in
little kennel outside. Sabra sank
suspiciously down on the doubtful mat

wafer thin; mere pine Stats with
cracks between. From the street be-
low came women's shrill laughter, the
