copy of the will on file. This giri had no legal rights till she was of age—see! Churchill knew this, an’ he didn’t do much o’ anything else fer ten years, but try to get his hands on her. Old Calkins was smart enough to fool him. The colonel had money enough in the deposit box. so they could live on it quietlike, an’ the sergeant never wasted a cent. He Just naturally lived for that girl, till about a month ago. He was smart enough not even to trust her; she never knew what they was hidin’ from." Hank touched a match to another cigarette, impressed with the story. “Rum kind of a business. I’d say,” he admitted at last, “but just where did this devil’s imp of a Macklin fit in?” “I ain’t got that all figured out yet,” admitted Hanley. “You know pretty near as much about him as I do. Furst time I saw the feller he rode in yere along with Cassady’s outfit, after that N. P. holdup, an’ he’s been trainin’ with Cassady more or less ever since. After I had this talk with him, when he was drunk, I put him to bed, an’ picked up a letter, or two, what fell out of his pocket. I got some o’ this stuff out o’ them. One of them was written by Churchill, an’ judgin’ from the way it read, the Kid ain’t really named Macklin at all —he’s a Churchill himself, the old cuss’ son.” “Well, I’ll be d—d!” “You know the rest; how he stumbled onto ol’ Calkins down In Ponca, an’ what happened. You can’t make me believe the old fellow V"ad himself ; wasp’t that kind, iiut, however it happened, the girl was left helpless;, then d —d if she didn’t marry that rancher over on the Cottonwood, an* spoil the whole game." r flank laughed coarsely. “Tough luck; but the Kid played Ids hand all right.”

“Sure he gid, but he had to bean this fellow Shelby. Except for that Job it wasn’t so bad, for it was easier to get her where he wanted her. I don’t know how he’d have managed pt Ponca, but there was just the three of ’em on the Cottonwood.” “And dead men don’t talk.” “Well, they’re safer than live ones, enyhow. Then this Injun outbreak cornin’ right now makes the get-away plum easy. He can hide her away back in the Hole as long as he d—n pleases. Everything will be laid to the Sioux for awhile.” “It’s a sure break, then?” “Sure; all the young bucks are already out. Macklin had four with him on this chase —took ’em on purpose, so if they was ever trailed they’d say it was an Injun job. Oh, he’s covered up things all right. You got it straight now?” Hank drew up his feet until his chin rested on his knees, the tip of the cigarette glowing. “I got it straight enough, so far as that goes, Hanley, but I don’t see what the h—l we’re goin’ to get out of it." “You’ve got the same love for the Kid I have, ain’t yer?” “Just about, I reckon. I’d sure like to take a good swipe at the ornary cuss." “That’s what I thought. Well, he ain’t goin’ to do nothin’ desperate to this young woman till he hears from the old man. This affair has been pulled off hurriedllke, an’ all the Kid has got in his mind right now 1b to hide her away somewhere, until old Churchill shows up, and decides what to do with her.” “What do you suppose he’ll decide?" “Well, my notion Is that if Macklin is the old man’s son, he’ll try to force her into marryin’ the boy. That would be the easy way, an’ I believe that will likely be their scheme. My Idea is to put a crimp In It.” “How?” “By getting hold of her ourselves before the old man shows up, an’ then doin’ business with him.” “Where’ll we take her?” “Back into Wolves’ hole; there’s hidin’ places there a plenty, an’ with them Injuns raisin’ h —l up north, it’ll be safe enough, until the war’s over enyhow. What do yer say?” “H—l, I don’t care; there ain’t nuthin’ to lose. You got the Kid them Injuns, didn’t you?” “Yes; he never told enybody what was up but me. All right, let’s mosey along; there’s no nse stayin’ here.”

THE DEMOCRAT .

GREAT FIRE DAMAGE IN CORK

Flames Sweep Irish City, Doing Damage Estimated at 916,000,000. More than three hundred buildings were destroyed by fires In Cork, Ireland, Saturday night and Bunday, laying waste to a large part of the city. Allegations are made that police auxiliaries in Cork, maddened by the killing and wounding of comrades by ambushed Sinn Feiners Saturday, loosed the Are demon on the city. Estimates of the loss run as high as $16,000,000. Hours of terror were spent by the people of Cork Saturday night, the wildest disorder prevailing throughout the city. Several lives were reported lost and dispatches said two brothers named Delaney were called from their homes and shot, one of them fatally. Two districts of Cork were swept by the flames. In the business district, along St. Patrick’s street, from Cook to Maylor, hardly a shop was left unscathed. This was the shop ping center of Cork and in untroubled times boasted many prosperous stores. .South of St. Patrick’s street the fire ran uncontrolled along Winthrop street anTT'bther narrow thoroughfares as far as Old Oeorge street. Thus an area of three blocks In this part of the town was reduced

to masses of debris. It vas not In this district, however, that the heaviest loss of the Are was centered. The magnificent city hall of Cork, on the southern end of the Parnell bridge that spans the River Lee, also was laid in ruins* In addition the Carnegie library/ Just across Anglesea street, to the west, was burned, and the Corn Exchange, just behind the city hall and to the south, was at least partly destroyed. Reports state that Albert quay, lying along the southern bank of the river, is a mass of desolation. Exact details of the events leading up to the conflagration of Saturday night have not been received ..here. Some reports tend to question the accuracy of earlier dispatches, but otthers repeat the story told in first reports. All indicate that the disorders and fires had a direct connection with the attack made on the lorry carrying police auxiliaries. Some newspapers are frankly skeptical of these reports and suggest that the fires might have been caused by the explosion of stored explosives, such as were found Saturday In the city of Dublin. Others indicate their belief that the fires were a reply to the establishment of martial law In southwestern Ireland, and It Is remarked that dispatches have not given proof that the fires were set by men bent on reprisals.

Here fervent prayers and praises From eager lips upsprtng That strive through finite phraaea To laud the Immortal King. The little trees stand steadfast. Green martyrs to his praise.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS FROM THE FARM

AST Christmas I spent with a schoolmate who lives In the country. I had gone to her home in the early autumn to board because I had much writing to do and needed quiet. At the same time I needed the sweet, pure country air. When we

first began talking of Christmas, fully six to eight weeks before that date, Ruth, my friend, began the old-time plaint; “I know I shall get a lot of pretty things from my city friends and relatives, and what on earth can I get in this old ark that is fit to send them?” “This old ark" was the village general store, where we were when we brought up the subject of Christmas giving. “Ruth Preston,” I answered her, “with all the opportunities you have for making the most delightful, unusual and really worth while gifts, you should worry about about Storekeeper Wlggln’s limited stock of cheese and chewing tobacco.”

“What do you mean?” gasped Ruth. “Well, you never lived In the city, cooped up In an apartment, or in a house In a big town where the nearest woods and nearest garden were miles and miles away. Did you,

now?” She admitted that she never had. “Imagine that you did live In such a place. What would you say If you

were to receive a beautiful little baby flr tree eighteen inches high, a luscious deep green, growing in a pretty little wooden tub painted deep green? Suppose It came to you carefully wrapped 'in wet burlap so that the

express people could see what it was. and keep It right side up 7” “It would be pretty,” admitted Ruth. “And suppose you lived in a big elevator apartment with a tiny kitchenette and a new maid every week or so and all the goodies you had you made yourself or got at a case or dug out of cans with a can opener. How would you like to get a great big fat

mince pie, packed in a box so carefully that It couldn’t crush or break?”

I had set her to thinking. Soon after that we brought up the subject once more. I sent back to the city for .two dollars’ worth of narrow red ribbon, Christmas labels, tags and stick-

era. “What are you going to send him?” I asked Ruth one day as she mentioned her very wealthy brother who had lived In a distant city for twenty years, and whom she wished to remember. “Oh, dear, Tom has so much money that anything I could afford would look cheap?” she complained. “Neckties are silly and I don’t know the latest styles. I’d love to surprise him once—”

“Make fifty r of those oldfashioned big cookies, such as your mother used to make for you and Tom when you were youngsters. I know how they taste—want one right now! Wrap each in white tissue, stick a tiny fancy label on, to fasten the tissue together, pack them firmly in a box and send them along to him. Watch his mouth water!” Ruth did it and the letter she got from her brother brought the quick tears to her eyes. To my brother’s wife I sent a small crate of mixed vegetables. She was* delighted. I sent them early-enough for her to use them for the Christmas dinner. There was a small Hubbard squash, some choice potatoes, onions, beets, carrots, tur-

nips, a cabpies, a dozen pears and a licious crab aped in.

The names of the Injured are: Frank Spears, Dr. J. A. Stewart, Gary; Joe Dent, Gary; Lee Sewell of North Liberty, and Bryan Sewell, 335 East Seventh avenue. Gary.

Every year Ruth’s great aunt sends her something of value. This great-aunt owns a string of business blocks in a big city and keeps a lawyer busy attending to her estate. At my suggestion, Ruth prepared a goose fpr the oven, stuffed It, sewed it up in a cloth and pack-

pies and onions for roasting. This she sent to great-aunt, not without fear and trembling. “The very idea of sending her something to eat,”

she gasped, “she’ll think it an insult.” She Invited a select few in to dinner, she wrote, and boasted of the “home-grown goose straight from my dear niece who lives on a farm.” And all her guests raved. To friends who had chil-

dren we sent baskets of native nuts: walnuts, butternuts, hickory nuts, chinquepins and the like. We also made some delicious molasses kisses, wrapped them in waxed paper, packed them with sprigs of evergreen and sent them along.
