WHEN THORA entered the big

about without seeing any sign Of her
friends. Inquiries resulted finally in
the information that Miss Marsh and
a gentleman were in a rear room
with Mr.. Edmond and that Miss Dahl
was to join them.
She followed the attendant to a
small apartment lighted by single
high window. At a table. covered
with black felt, she found Wilma and

placed in action to clear the Indians

both killed.
The soldiers gradually drove the In
