LAST DAY FOR MAKING ENTRIES FOR THE FAIR The office of L, Ray Lewis, secretary of the Washington County Agricultur al society, was a busy place today, it being the last day for making entries for the fair. Last night the entries already made exceeded those of last year. and all day today they hate con | tinued to pour in so that with the time remaining until eleven o'clock tonight it is expected that the exhibits this year will far exceed any year in the history of the society. CHILDREN BARRED FROM THE LIBRARY Village Health Officer Heenan has made an order directing that until further notice children under sixteen years of age are not to be admitted to the public library.

Skating, the origin of which is lost in antiquity, was mentioned by a Dan- ish historian in 11384, and English au- thorities state that' in Lincolnshire there was skating even before the twelfth cent _, the custom having been introduced there from Holland. The Eskimos used bone skates when they were first discovered by the whites, and probably had done so for centuries. How to Prevent Blood Poisoning.

A posse of railroad men and citizens, led by a sheriff Duane sus pected was crooked, was made up be- fore the engine steamed back to pick up the rest of the train, Duane had the sudden inspiration that he had been cudgeling his mind to find; and, acting upon it, he mounted his horse again and left Bradford unobserved.

Upon returning to the tavern porch Duane saw the group of men had been added to by others, some of whom he had seen before. Without - comment | Duane | walked arqng the edge of the road, and wher- Dodge,\ said Fletcher, 1 ever one of the tracks of his horse showed he carefully obliterated it. This procedure was attentively watched by Fletcher and his com- panions, * \Wal Dodge,\ remarked Fletcher, s Duane returned, \thet's safer 'n prayin' fer rain.\ Duane's reply was a remark as loquacious as Fletcher's, to the effect thit a long, slow, monotonous ride was conducive to thirst. They all joined him, unmistakably friendly. But Knell was not there, and most assuredly not Poggin. Fletcher was no common outlaw, but, whatever his ability. it probably lay in execution of orders. Apparently at that time these men had nothing to do but drink and lounge around the tavern. Duane set out to make himself agree- able and succeeded. All morning men came and went, until, all told, Duane calculated he had seen at least fifty. Toward the middle of the afternoon a young fellow hurst into the salcon und yelled one word: \Passe t\ From the scramble to get outdoors Dunne judged that word and the en- suing action was rare in Ord. \What's all this?\ muttered Fletch- er. as he guzed down the road at & dark, compact bunch of horses and riders, \Fust time I ever seen thet in Ord! Wish Phil was here or Porgy. Now all you gents keep quiet, Tl do the talkin'\ The posse entered the town, trotted in a bunch before the tavern. The party' consisted about twenty men, all heavily armed, and charge of a_ clean-cut, lean-dimbed cowboy, - Duane experienced consider- able satisfaction at the ahsence of the sheriff who he had understood was to lead the posse. Perhaps he was out in another direction with a differ- ent force. \Hello Jim Fletcher,\ called the cowboy. \Howdy replied Fletcher. At this short, dry response and the way he strode lefsyrely out before the posse Duane found himself modifying his contempt for Fletchér. The out- law was different now,. \Pletcher we've tracked a man to all but three miles of this place. Tracks as plain as the nose on your face. Found his camp,. Then he hit into the brush, an' we lost the trail. Didn't have no tracker with us. Think he wont into the mountains. - But we took a chance an' rid over the rest of the way, seein' Ord was so close. Anybody come in here late last night or early this mornin'?\ \Nope replied Fletcher. His response was what Duane had expected from his manner, and evi- dently the cowhoy took it as a matter of course. He turned to the others of the posse, entering Into a low con- sultation. | Evidently there was differ- ence of opinion, if not real dissension, in that posse.

Then with a thoughtful mien he strode up on the porch and led Duane away from the others into the bar- room. When he looked into Duane's face it was somehow an entirely} changed scrutiny. \Dodge wher'd you hide the stuff? I reckon I git in on this deal, seein' I staved off Guthrie.\ Duane played his part. Here was his opportunity, and like a tiger after prey he seized it. First he coolly eyed the outlaw and then disclaimed any knowledge whatever of the trein- robbery other than Fletcher had heard himself. Then at Fletcher's persist ence and admiration and increasing show of friendliness be laughed oc- caslonally - and allowed | himself - to swell with pride, though still denying. Later, when Duane started up an- nouncing bis intention to get his horse and make for camp out in the brush, Fletcher seemed grievously offended, \Why don't you stay with me?

You'd be swingin' somewheres now, I tell you, Dodge, it ain't square,\ \Ill square it. I pay my debts,\ replied Duane,. \But I can't put up here all night.

But he could not send the healthy brown ' pack to his face. Pusne, watching this 'rude man, marveled at the change in him, the sudden checking movement, the proof of a wonderful fear and legalty. - It all meant Cheseldine, a master of men! \Who air you?\ queried Fletcher, in a queer, strained voice. \You gave me a handle, didn't you? Dodge,. - Thet's as good as any,. Shore it hits me hard. Jim, I've been pretty ' lonely for years, an' I'm gettin' in need of pats. Think it over, will you? See you immgnana.\ R The outlaw watched Duane go off after his horse, watched him as he re- turned to the tavern, watched him ride out in the darkmess-all without a word. Duane ' left the town, threaded a quiet passage through enetis atul tmo#- quite to a spot he had murked before, and passed the night. His mind was «o full that he found seep gloof, Luck at last was playing his game. He sensed the first slow heave of a mighty crisis, The end, always haunt» ing, had to be sternly blotted from thought. If was the approach that needed all his mind. Late in the morning he returned to Ord. - If Jim Fletcher tried to disguise his surprise, the effort was a failure. Cortainly he had not expected to see Puane again. Dunne allowed himself a little freedom with Fletcher, in at- titude hitherto Incking. t- That afternoon a horseman rode In ifrnm Bradford, an - outInw evidently ( well known and liked by his fellons, and Duane heard him say, before he enuld possibly have been told the train-robber was In Ord. that the loss of money in the holbup was slight, ; like a flash Duane saw the luck of | this report. | He pretended not to have heard.
