Miss Judith?" ■She Isn’t here," replied Lee briefly. "Hirn't been her since Saturday light.’’ ”'Fow, wtih more cause than ever, M Canon stare at him. ■Then wbat did Pollock Hampton lay sell for? By crlpes, If this Is one d that young hop-o’-my-thumb's jokes, Tb joint up to the house an' murder Jia. That's all. An' right now." Lee laid a hand on Carson’s arm. “Hold on, old-timer,” he said shortly, "Well have a talk with him after I while. Now I wunt to tulk with j»u." Contenting himself with the coldest •f brief outlines. Bud Lee told Carson it Judith's absence and of his own iwplvlons. Carson, who had listened to him gravely, at the end shook his lead, "That's a pretty bald play, Bud.” he Hid slowly. "I don’t believe Trevors would get that coarse in his work. It doesn’t look like him a little bit." “Does this sale look the least little hit like Judith?" demanded Lee sharply. "Is ft her style to go over our heade this way, Carson? If she's got to sell heavily, why pick out this particular set of buyers? Why is the deal reohed through while she’s away? I ttll you there's a nigger in the woodpile and it's up to you and me to •woke him out. Come up to the toise with me.” Marcia did not see them as they Ire* near in the moonlight. For. with a plan shaping in his brain. Lee Judged beat that they should not be W»a. He and Carion passed In a wide •h about the left end of the courtjam, around the end of the house and * to a door opening from the office to the back of the house. This door he found unlocked and pushed quietly op*n. . I Hampton lifted swift eyes, sensing •ometliing siern and ominous In this silent approach. “We want to talk things over with Jou." began Lee. ' "If you’ve come to bulldoze me out °f that deal In the morning,” retorted Hampton, "you might as well keep •till. I'm going to sell.” “I don't know that you'd exactly rsll it bulldozing," smiled Lee, determined to be pleasant with the young fellow as long as possible. “But Jou ve got sense enough to listen to reason, Hampton." "Have i?’> je er ed Pollock. "Thanks.” If Miss Sanford wants the deal to. *" through,” continued Lee, "why, 'tn, of course, through It goes. If Le doesn't, there's going to be no, •tie." I tell you she wired me to sell; I •Wed you the telegram-” But you\dldn’t prove to me that; Le sent it. You didn't know jvursftlf whether It had been sent by her or, ‘’o»n, Rockwell & Haight, or 'by, uyne Trevors or. the devil himself J’; * took up the telephone and said Into, * 'Western Union, Rocky Bend. ’ • That you, Benton?

That's our reason In this. Now will you come with us to her room?" "Trevors?" said Hampton. Then i he laughed. "You ure like the rest. Bud. Trevors Is a gentleman, and you try to make him a crook. Such a scheme as you Imagine Is absurd and ridiculous. And I won’t go prying with you Into Judith's room.” "Come on, Carson," said Lee. "If Hampton wants to stay here, let him,” But the young fellow was on Ids feet, his face flushed, his eyee excited. ’ •‘You'll get out of this house and , do it quick'." he cried sharply. "If you think for one little minute that I'll stand for your high-handed ac-' tions, you're mistaken." At a look from Lee, Carson stepped J quickly forward, so that Hampton stood between them. “You come with us," and now Lee 1 no longer sought to be pleasant. “And keep still or we’ll stop your mouth with a yard of doth. This way; Carson." | With right and left arms gripped, with lagging feet and furious eyes, Hampton went between them to the door. For an Instant only did he struggle; then, with a snort of disgust, seeing the futility of making a fool of himself, he went quietly. I Just what he expected as a result , of a visit to the gill's room, Lee did not know. He hoped for some sign to tell him something, anything. Quietly the three went through the house until they came to Judith's dainty blue-and-whlte bedroom. Here all had been set in order by Mr*. Simpson. On entering the room a sort of awkward shyness fell over both Lee and Carson. Hampton, freed now and standing alone, though under Carsdu's bard eye, stared at them angrily. “When you get through with this foolishness," he told them stiffly, "you can either apologize or call for your time.” Neither answered. Carson little by little had come to share Lee’s uncertainty and anxiety; and now, like Lee, sought eagerly to tind a sign—something to tell that Judith had been lured away by Trevors or Quinnion; or that she had been overpowered here and taken out, perhaps through a window.

Tile mid-spring ter m Is organized l at Nonmil for the purpose of taking' c.iie 01 the mtidenu who are teaching ‘<l 'oven and eight month terms in the various schools of the state. These students arc not out in time In the spring to enroll in the regular spring quarter while, if they were compelled to wail until the summer quarter which opens late in June, they would hav„ practically no vacation period. The mid-spring term arrangement gives them time to take a regular course during rhe year and yet have some time left for recreational purposes before the opening of the regular terms of the schools* .throughout the state in early SepI tember. Every bit of room available around 1 the Normal school is pressed into I service for class-rooms during this I period of congestion while a large , number of instructors are added to the regular force. The mid-spring term will also overlap the regular .summer quarter by four weeks and the present congestion is only anoth er indication of the fact that the rapid growth of State Normal sends forth a crying need for more room and more equipment. Indian Population Is Densest In Northwest Washington. June 4—(United Press —The Dutchmen who bought Staten Island for $24 would have had to pay more if they had started their land investment out in Washington along the Columbia River The Columbia river region harbored one of the densest populations of prehistoric America, according to a Smithsonian Institution survey by Herbert W. Kriege.r, of the National Museum here.’ Krieger found a chain of homesites stretching for nearly 500 nti’.es along the river. Before the horse was extensively used in redskin migration, the Columbia river region, according to Krieger, was more metropolitan and more thickly-fettled even than the Pueblo and Aztec regions of the southwest. — o —— Bumper Fruit Crop Is Forecast In Michigan East Lansing.
