The telephone jangled. It was Denver. Mason *alked a moment over the wire, then turned to his fellow officer. "They've got Barnham. Whafs more, he had close t£> a million dollars In , currency strapped iround him. Guess we'd better stir up some horses now and chase along, hadn't we?" "Yes, an# get a gentle one for me," cautioned Harry. , " ; < "That goes for £m, ttrt," laOgfced Fair-child, F • "And me--I like automobiles better," Anita was twisting her long hair into a braid, to be once more shoved under her cap. The start was made. A detour, then the tracks led the wu? to the Ohadi road, and behind them came the pursuers, heads down against the wind, horses snorting and coughing as they forced their way through *tie big drtfts, each following one another for the protection it afforded A long, silent, cold-gripped ' two hours--then finally the lights of Ohadi. But "en then th~ tr il was not difficult. The little town was asleep; hardly a track showed in the streets beyond the hoofprints of a horse leading up the principal thoroughfare and on out to the Georgeville road. Onward until before them was the bleak, rat-ridden old roadhouse which formed Laura's home, and a light was gleam- Ing within. • Silently th* pursuers discounted and started forward, anly to stop short. A scream had come to them, faint in the bluster of the storm, the 5 racking scream of a woman In a tem- , pest of anger. Suddenly the light , iseemed to bob about in the old house; It showed first at one window--then , another--as though some one were ' running from room to .oom. Once two - gaunt shadows stood forth--of a crouching man and a woman, one hand extended In the air, as she * whirled *he lamp before her for an instant and brought herself between Its rays and those who watched. Again the chase and then the scream, louder than ever, accompanied by streaking red flame which spread across the top floor like windi^ blow spray. Shadows weaved before the windows, while the flames seemed to reach out and" enwrap every portion of the upper floor. The staggering figure of a man with the blaze all ; about him was visible; then a woman who rushed past him. Groping as though "blinded, the burning form of the man weaved a moment before the window, clawing in a futile attempt to open it, the flames, which seemed to leap from every portion of his body, enwrapping him. Slowly, a torch-like, stricken, thing, he sank out of sight, and as the pursuers outside rushed forward, the figure of a woman aptipeared on the old veranda, half naked, shrieking, carrying something tightly locked in her arms, and plunged down the steps into the snow. ... Fail-child, circling far to one* side, caught her. and with all his strength resisted her squirming efforts until' Barry and Bard well had come to his assistance. It was Crazy Laura, the contents of her arms now showing in rtktt light of the flames as they licked <ltty window of the upper portion of the bouse--five heavy, sheepskin- /bound books of the ledger type, wrapped tight tn a grasp that not even Barry could loosen. i "Don't take them from me!" the Insane woman ^screamed. "He tried It, didn't he? And where's be now-- • up there burning! He hit me--and I threw the lamp at him! He wanted my books--he wanted to take thei-i away from me--but I wouldn't le' htm. And you can't have them--hear me--let go of my arm--let go!" She bit at them. She twisted and butted fhetn with her gray head. She screamed and squirmed--at last to weaken. Slowly Harry forced her arms aside and took from them the precious contents--whatever they might be. Grimly old Sheriff Mason wrapped her in his coat and led her to a horse, there to force her to m»uu: •ad ride with him into town.The house --with Squint Itodaine---was gone. Back in the office of Sheriff Bard- . well the books were opened, and Fair child uttered an exclamation. "Harry! Didn't she talk about hei books at the coroner's Inquest? See if there's any entry along early in July--about the time of the inquest. Bardwell turned the closely wtyteu pages. At last he stopped. "Testified today at the inquest, ha read. 'I lied. Roady made me do It. I never saw anybody quarreling. Besides, I dl* It myself.*" "What's she mean--did It herself?" the sheriff looked up. "Guess we'll have to go 'way back for that." "First let's see how accurate .the thing is," Fairchlld interrupted. "See If there's an item under November 0 of this year." The sheriff searched, then read: "I dug a grave tonight. It was aot filled. Ths immortal thing left ffle. 1 knew it would. Roady had coine and told me to dig a grave and put It in there. I did. We filled It with quicklime. Then we went upstairs and it was goue. | do not understand It. If Roady wanted me to kill him. Why didn't he lay so? 1 will kill If Roady will be good to ate. Tve killed before for him." "Still referring to aopiebody she's ktUed," cut in £nlta, "I wonder If ft could be possible--" "Tve just thought of the date!" fTl'i j broke in excitedly. It waa along Fm sura It was n. mailed about June 7, 1$)2. around there." • The old books were over, one after the other. At last Bardwell leaned 'forward and pointed to a certain page. "Here's an Item under May 28. It says: 'Roady has been at me again! He wants me to fix things so that the three men in the Blue Poppy mine will get caught in there by a cave-in.'" The sheriff looked up. "This seems to read a little better than the other stuff. It's not so jagged. Don't guess she was as much off fyer nut then/"as she is now. Let's see. Where's the place? Oh, yes: 'If I'll help him, I can have half, and we'll live together again, and he'll be good to me and I can* have the boy. I know what It's all about He wants to get the mine without Sissle Larsen having anything to do with it. Sissie has cemented up the hole he drilled into the pay ore and hasn't told Fairchlld about it, because he thinks Roady will go partnerships with him and help him buy in. But Roady won't do it. He wants that extra money for me. He told me so. Roady is good to me sometimes. But that's when he wants me to do something. If he'll keep his promise I'M fix the mine so they won't gei out."" "The poor old soul," there was aching sympathy in Anita Richmond's voice. "I--I can't help it if she was willing to kill people. The poor old thing \*'as crazy." "Yes, and she's 'ad us bloody near crazy too. Maybe there's another entry." "I'm coming to it It's along in June. The1 date's blurred. Listen: 'I did what Roady wanted me to. 1 sneaked into the mine and planted dynamite in the timbers. I wanted to. wait until the third man was there, but I couldn't. Fairchild and Lgrsen were fussing. Fairchild had learned about the bole and wanted to know what Larsen had found. Finally Lnrsen pulled a gun and shot Fairchild. He fell, and I knew he was dead. Then Larsen bent over him, and when he did I hit him--on the head with a single-jack hammer. Then I set off the charge. Nobody ever will know how It happened unless they find the bullet or the gun. I don't care If they do. Roady wanted me to do it.'" Fairchild started to speak. bftt the sheriff stopped him. "Wait, here's another item: "'I failed. I didn't kill either of them. They got out someway and drove out of town tonight. Roady in mad at me. He won't come near me. And I'm so lonesome for him!'" "The explanation!" Fairchild almost shouted it as he seized the book and read it again. "Sheriff, Tve got to make a confession. My father always thought that he had killed a man. Not that he told me--but I could guess it easily enough, from other things that happened. When he came to, he found a single-jack hammer lying beside him, and Larsen's body across him. Couldn't he naturally believe that he had killed him while lu a daze? He was afraid of Rodaine-- that Rodaine would get up a lynching party and string him up. Hnny here and Mrs. Howard helped him out of town. And this is the explanation !" Bardwell smiled quizzically. "It looks like there's going- to be a lot of explanations. What time waa when you were tapped in that mine. Hark ins?" Along about the first of November.^ , The sheriff turned to the page. If was there--the story of Crazy Laura and her descent Into the Blue Poppy mine, and again the charge of dynamite which wr»««-ked the tunnel. With a little sigh, Bardwell closed the book and looked out at the dawn, forcing Its way through the blinding snow. "Yes, I guess we'll find a lot of things in this old book." came at last. "But I tLlnk right now that the best thing any of us can find is a little sleep." Rest--rest for five wearied persons, hut the rest of contentment and [>eace. And late in the afternoon, three of them were gathered in the old-fashioned parlor of Mother Howard's boarding house, waiting for the return of that digfl&art-from a sudden mission upon whicn Anita Richmond had sent her. involving a trip to the old Richinond mansion. Harry turned away from hie place at the window,/ "The district attorney 'ad a long talk with Barnham." he announced "a'nd e's figured out a wye for all the stock'older* In the Silver Queen to get what's co mi fig to them. As It la. Not Ready 'to Ota.' "A poor salesman, you nay?" "He doesn't know the psychology of salesmanship.

EARLY SETTLER VERY POMPOUS they's about a "'unnerd thoasknd short lome'eres." Fairchild looked Hp. "What's the scheme?" "To call a meeting of the stock- 'olders and transfer all that money over to a special fund to buy Blue Poppy stock. We'll 'ave to raise money anyway to work the mine like we ought to. And it 'd cost something. You always 'ave to underwrite that sort of thing. I sort of like It. even if we'd 'ave to sell stofk a little below par. It'd keep Ohadi from getting a bad name and all that" "I think so, too." Anita Richmond laughed. "It suits me fine." ' Fairchlld looked down at bar and smiled. "I guess that's the answer," he *ald. "Of course that doesn't Include the Rodaine stock. In other words, we give a lot of disappointed stockholders par value for about ninety cents on the dollar. But Farrell can look after ail that. He's got to have something to keep him busy as at* torney for the company." A step on the veranda, and Mother Howard entered, a package under her arm, which she placed. In Anita's lap. The girl looked up at the man who stood beside her. "I promised," she said, "that ft tell you about the Denver road*" He leaned close. "That isn't all you promised--just before I left you this morning." came his whispered voice, and Harry, at the window, doubled in laughter. "Why didn't you speak It all out?" he gurgled. "I 'eard every word," Anita's eyes snapped. "V . "Well, I don't guess that's < *ny worse than me standing behind the folding doors listening to you and Mother Howard gushing like a couple of sick doves!" "That 'olds me," announced Harry. "That 'olds*me. I ain't got a word to sye!" • Anita laughed. ' "Persons who live 1fl you know. But about this explanation. Fm going to ask a hypothetical question. Suppose you and your family were In the clutches of persons who were always trying to- get you Into a position where yoij'd be more at their mercy. And suppose an old friend of the family, wanted to make the family a present and called up from Depver for you to come on down and get It--not for yoursielf, but just to have amund In case of need. Then suppose you went to Denver, got the valuable present and then, just as you were getting up speed to make the first grade on Lookout, you heard a shot behind you and looked around to see the sheriff coming. And if he caught you, It'd mean a lot of worry and the worst kind of gossip, and maybe you'd have to go to jail for breaking laws and everything like that? In a case of that kind, what'd you do?" "Run to beat bloody 'ell!" blurted out Harry. "And that's just what aba did," added Fairchlld. "I know because I saw her." Anita was unwrapping the package. "And seeing that I did run." she added with a laugh, "and got away with It. who would like to shaVe in what, remains of one beautiful bottle of Manhattan cocktails?" Most Flare* Fighting Fish.

A persistent respect for the pomps and vanities of feudalism with its distinction of classes and Its conventions of respectful observance was held by the early settlers In the American wilderness. They showed a curious lack of a saving sense of humor. When the first settlement at Jamestown was starving. Sir Thomas Gates, on relinquishing his authority, fired a salute fiom the fort, and made his departure like a king abandoning his realm. De la Warr, arriving a few days later, landed with a flourish of trumpets and a procession, with banners borne before him. When he went to church he was attended by an escort in red cloaks and a guard of RO men. although there were not more than 200 in the colony. When were Eccentricity to datall rather than change in form, together with an adoption of extreme novelties in fabrics, a revival of metal and the return to use of high colors, characterizes the fashions for autumn and winter 1922-28, writes a fashion correspondent In the New York Tribune; "Fashions seem to bo roofing toward a more stately type of dress, as many of the designers have gone back to the Renaissance pe#od for the details. Hardly a dressmaker In Paris but shows some leaning toward the extravagances of the period of Francis I, Henry VIII, Henry II and on <|pwn to the period of Louis XIII. Here and there the Idea is caught in the sleeve; again one sees It In the collar and In the arrangement of the girdle. Very frequently It is the design In the fabric; again It is the, regal coloring, mixtures of gold, silver^ steel and copper in fabrics which look as jf th€y had been hammered or wrought In metal and not woven on looms. Incrustations of Jeweis,- precious and semi-precious, recall the flourishing arts of this sumptuous period. Cxploita Seventeenth Century Style* As a variation from the Renaissance there is the note of the pure Venetian. ^8 The Charming Street Dreea Developed in Imitation Broadtail and Black Broadcloth. styles of the Seventeenth century. Jeanne Lanvin uses this motif, thereby holding persistently to her wide skirt effects. She has little support, however, In this from other dressmakers/ A predominance of the slender silhouette confirms the Insignificance of other eccentric period styles. Running through all of the fashions Is the Oriental note, the Persian, the Egyptian, the Chinese, the Japanese, sometimes In Its pure form, and again in the cleverly . modernised interpretation. Magnificent embroideries, hand huntings, beadlngs. Incrustations, hammered. pressed and printed fabrics all have significant showing. France, from the standpoint tit aovelty mat* rials and trimmings, is coming back into her own. Not since the several propitious seasons Immediately preceding the war has France produced so many wonderful novelties. This elaboration of tissues, whether it he in weave or applied after the work ol the looms, will add greatly to the cost of fashionable clothes. > - > Sleeve Detalla Vary 8llhoue«ta, v-* Derails of sleeves have changed con siderably, and It )8 in this point thai the silhouette of 1922-23 will express Itself largely. New sleeves are often full length and may be large at the wrist, elbow or throughout their full length. Long mitten-shaped sleeves are also much used. Many new forms in puffed effects ere seen. Sometimes this puff breaks at the elbow; £galn It is at the wrist. Sometimes a succe» sion of flare ruflles are placed at the elbow or on tbe wrist of a tight-fitting sleeve. Many fancy sleeves are seen on evening dresses. Frequently they start from ihe elbow (downward, and they are even attached at the wrist, covers ing the hands with deep circular frills, All these new sleeve effects are practically taken from the Renaissance period, court dress style. The sleeveless idea still exists, but Is not so new as these other more fanciful forms. The waistline Is a variable point, bul a big percentage of models continues to be In low waistline style, many oi which blouse In the back. There U still every degree of low waistline from that which starts below tbe nor mal waistline to well down to below the turn of the hips. In distinct Egyptian and Oriental form. One-Side Drapery. The length of skirts is still variable^ but the consensus of opinion Is thai the street skirt will be nine to ten Inches from the ground. More dressy afternoon toilettes will be four to five Inches from the ground. Eccentric period styles, both In crinoline and Renaissance effect, often touph and trail.

Fullness, when Introduced, is unobtrusive, and is usually achieved by means of the circular cut. There If less unevenness about the hem, many of the skirts being straight around. The Three-Plece Suit. Tailored suits are very pronounced in the showing of both two and threeniece effects. A great majority of the jackets are waist length and in straight, unbelted or slightly blouslng and belted styles. The exceptions arc incidental novelties In very short bos bolero -tyles, Chinese mandarin full swinging coats and three-quartet length circular-cut effects, the lattet usually trimmed with fur. The three-piece Idea Is prominent It expresses itself In two forms--the smart one-piece wool dress with matching jacket or the crepe de chine oi satin dress with a wool coat entirely covering it, tbe lining of wblch It made of the same material as the dress. Evening dresses are much less decollete than In former years. Many of them are made with a slightly rounding or bateau neck. Some of the evening dresses have full-length sleeves, and It Is only the very cer» monlous type that la extremely decollete and sleeveless. <Draped Evening Dresses Considerable moire Is used, notably i In shades of brown and beige he usea In evening dresses, the moire often | flecks of gold and copper-colored silk; having a high luster satin back, mak ing U possible to use In drapery where both sides of the material is allowed to show. In crepe weaves marocaln continuea strong, replacing to no amall degree crepe de chine. There Is, however, a new quality of silk crepe called crepe mongol which Is Deing used quite extensively. .Crepe georgette and crepe romaio are used for beaded dresses, of which there are still a great many. Georgette and sheer crepe romaln are also used in combination. Many pile fabrics ih wools are b^tng shown, notably in thick cord weavst and wafflellke checks, sheared to give a velvet pile surface. These are tn solid colors and also tn mixtures of two and three tones. A very beautiful line of this character, brought out by Rodier, has a mixture of wool and artificial silk which gives a sort of frosty look. Rodier often uses a metallic color tn the artificial silk which he uses to In blues and gray he uses silver and steel-tone silk. Thus even tbeaa wool* ens have a metallic glitter. New Tinsel Fabric. One Of tbe most popular tinsel fabrics is a novelty striped tinsel cloth that Is of singularly soft texture.

He waa a huge- mountain lion, measuring 9 feet and 8 Inches from tip to tip. He was king among the Monflna cattle killers, possessed of remarkable cunning and daring. His existence was a charmed one. For four years a bounty of $500 baa been awaiting any hunter who would exhibit bis pelt. He would strike the cattle at night, kill elx or eight steers and vanish, to show up in some place far removed. ' Hunting parties were organized and his great tracks trailed through the snow. But In all cases previously they suddenly would break off and all trace of him be lost. He was referred to as the "phantom lion." Cattlemen despaired of his ever being killed, ^o trap, however carefully concealed, tempted him. But Beebe Got Him. When dhauncey El' Beebe, whose exploits^ make him champion big game hunter of America, toofc up the trail, the cattlemen discouraged him, he reported. Where others had failed he Insisted that his especially trained hound, "Jerry," would succeed. With no one but "Jerry" for a companion, he struck off for the deer country, near Nyack, Montf In the hope that he could locate the lloh feeding on deer in the high country. After four days he found tlie trail and put "Jerry" on it. "lithe dog followed It for upwards oIKfiiteen miles, when it abruptly ended. Ik V . Beebe reports that It was then he suspected the seasoned old killer had adopted the native trick of the fox. or so and then leaping a safe distance to the side for a fresh start. Both sides of the old trail were followed and within a few hours a fresh one was picked up. Th© lion, said to be the biggest ever killed in Montana, 4 Arrived In Time to 8hoot Him.

The office reports of the biological survey show, however, that Beebe had just begun to fight. He decided that he was in good "lion country," and would stay there a few days. In doing so he established a record that is without an equal in the annals of American big game hunting. And at the same time it crowns "Jerry" as the champion big game hound of tbe United States.
