THE UNsETTING SUN

My days and my sleepless nights were a compound of misery and of wrath. Alternately was para lyzed with horror and galvanized by rage against those who had dared to tear the child from home and keep her prisoner.
 The police, score of detectives, and other private individuals were constantly at work.
 Those in a position to know best, assured me that I should very soon receive some communication from the kidnapers, making pro- posals for the safe return of the child as soon as certain conditions had been compiled with.
 Again and again I was assured that it was perfectly certain that, the child had only been kidnapped for ransom and that. as soon as the criminals had laid their plans for the safe receipt of the ransom money, the child would be returned unhurt and I was advised instant ly and fully to comply with the demands of the kidnapers.
 There would be time enough, when my child was returned to me, to consider the question of punishment.
 The advice was unnecessary. Should they demand the payment of everything I possessed in the world, they should have it; and if they demanded twice as much, they should have that, for I would bor- row it.
 But I promised myself that, un- less I died before my mission was fulfilled l would have them. Yes. they should have it; and yes, l would have them.
 Sure enough, some three weeks after Rosemary's di app e arance, and just when I was about at the end of my tether, I received a business like letter in good style and obviously written by person of education and experience.
 This document set forth the terms on which I should receive Rosemary back, safe and sound. There were no vulgar threats or anything of that nature, but mere ly plain and straightforward business offer.
 was assured that, on my conl- pleting my side of the bargain, my daughter would be returned to me, and that I should never be mo- tested again
 If, on the other hand, failed to fulfill my part of the contract, should never see my child again; and if she were recovered by the police and returned to me, the child would promptly be Kidnapped again. n There was, as I have said, no I threat of murder or injury, Or any, i thing of that sort. but merely the I statement that if wanted to re- 1, cover, and to keep my child-l must fulfill their demands.

I quite agreed with the detectives to whom I showed the letter, that \ this was not one, of the old-fash- toned gangs but a criminal or band of criminals of superior men, tality; and therefore far more diff | ficult to circumvent. y as \ And there was further evidence of this in the demands themselves which meant colossal loss to

the diamond to the indicated ad- dress.
 Within fortnight I had dis patched to the other address parcel of 100 beautiful diamonds, not one of which was worth less than $l0,000.
 Eleven days later I received a letter, bearing some village post mark, informing me that my child would be found waiting for me, three days hence, at a house in Chicago, the address of which was given.
 The letter went on to say that the sooner I went there after that date the better for the child.
 Communication with the police would be futile, for the writer would be out of the country by the time this letter reached me. l will not dwell on this story, the telling which, even after these years. makes me tremble from head to foot.
 The address proved to be that of dilapidated house, standing alone in an upfrequented part of the out- skirts of the town, hideous and sinister house, long abandoned and empty empty save for the fact that locked in small, bare, and filthy upstairs room, a child lay on the foul floor beneath a grimy window situated beyond her reach.

Rabbit Spreads Flames

A stiff breeze and flaming jack
rabbit combined to spread fire near
Santa Barbara, Calf, recently that
destroyed 600 acres of wheat before
it was put out. A jack rabbit was
trapped in some burning brush. The
frightened animal ran into nearby
grain field with it's fur on fire. The
rabbit rolled in the dry grain in an
effort to extinguish the flames and
ignited the grain. The wind famed
the fire until 600 acres of grain and
brush land were burned.

madness. Yet she was so straight and
tense, waiting for death, that she did
not seem to be wholly possessed by
fear or terror. Something unconquer-
able was with her, the soul of Tonteur
himself struggling in her fragile breast
to make her unafraid to die and giving
to her an aspect of defiance. This
courage could not hide the marks of
her torture. Death had miraculously
left her flesh untouched in passing, yet
she stood crucifed in the mill room.
Expecting a savage, she recognized
Jeems. The musket fell from her
hands to the floor with dull crash,
and she drew back as If retreating
from one whose presence she dreaded
more than that Of a Mohawk, until
her form pressed against the piled-up
bags of grain, and she was like one at
bay. The cry for vengeance which
was on Jeems' lips broke in a sobbing
breath when he saw her. He spoke
