conversation with the girl, and during

" 'Para told u thnt toiae men were

often tat I believed what he ald. I
coul I not but wonder what tlw world
was conlnj to. But, anyway, we be
lieved that what papa told us was
true.' "
The Bherlff continued by saving that
the girl's statement throughout was
most rational and reaao-inble. "She
n undoubtedly Impressed with the
absurdity of her father's statements."
snld he, "but, gill like, she finally
gave In to the conviction ' that her
father wan right ami that hi best
friends were really seeking hi life.
"The mother expressed herself In
something of a hlmllitr vein," said the
sheriff. "I asked her If she did not
krow belter than to believe that men
who had befriended her hut band ns
Lake, Mooers had done would wilfully
seek his life?
" 'Yes,' she said, 'I looked at It ln
that way myself but he held out that
they Intended to kill us nnd I was fin
ally persuaded to believe what he told
me. I can see now that he must have
been crazy.' "
It was with the utmost difficulty that
bherlff Llnvllle could at first convince
Mrs, Hllstrom thnt her husband had
not been hanged. Convinced of the
truth, however, she readily consented
to accompany him to Astoria. ,
