It Isn't' like Lillian to treat se

Their entrance was picturesque.
They came in 800 strong, mount

and woman armed with rifles.
two slings of cartridge belts,
knives and pistols. Hiding at
the head was their leader, Safins,
tall and wearing a ferocious look
ing black beard. Behind the cav
olry came a train of 200 wagons,
brought from the fastnesses of
the Ural mountains to carry away
the loot.
Their actions wen regulated
with much discipline. Arriving
early on a Saturday morning, they
first cut all telegraph wires, then
rounded up the Communists and
executed them: ,
. The people of the town were
notified front the public square
that tbey would not be short or
injured, and also Safrins ordered
that C. E. Floete of San Fran
cisco, the only American la the
place and ia .charge of the relief
supplies for the children, be noti

not be looted. 5
Burin the day the Soviet sup
plies were loaded on the wagons.
; ITj prisoners were released from
ithe jails, all the available horse

lutiqnary band departed. Ob the

Her smiling, comprehending
eyes caressed me and quieted the
nervousness that I subsequently
knew was consuming me. I felt
my nerves relaxing, as they al
ways do under the influence of
Lillian's steady common sense.
"I'd dey any one to have
nerves with you on the job," I re
torted lovingly. "But I think you
will agree with me that these are
enough to upsat me."
I handed the anonymous
missive to her. She glanced at
the superscriptions of all of them
first.
"Clerer work." she commented.
'This has been done on one of
those folding typewriters which
can be carried around with you.
A person can have; one of those

much In evidence. It will be
hard to trace the authorship of
these, for those stamped envelopes

from a different place, and always
at night. Probably dropped them
in corner boxe3."
"I notice you say he" I ven
tured, tor she had not yet shut
her mind away from everything
and everybody as is her way when
studying a problem, and I was
sure the interruption wouldn't an
noy her.
"Oh. I've no doubt it's that un
speakable private detective
again!" she returned. "He'g cer

trying to frighten first one and

death. I suppose you heard from
Miss Hoi co robe today about

"Ratio, told me shortly after I
came home," I said. "I telephoned
her from the drugstore, and then
took her to Mrs. Wynne's tea
room, where the gave these to
me."
"I see."
The words were- perfunctory.
and I saw that she was fully ab
sorbed in the contents of the en
vel opes which she was examinging
carefully In the order of their
sending, as Alice Holcombe had
marked them. Whan she had fin
ished the last one she dropped
them in her lap and looked across
at me, her face flushed with an-gvsr.
"I'd like to have the lynching
of that lad.'' she said. "I've al
ways been opposed to mob law,

fingers off a iope if he were the

FOLEY'S HAS NEVER FAILED
January is a bad month for In
fluenza, la grippe and bronchial
troubles. It Is unwise to neglect
the slightest cough or eold. Fo

relief, and gets right at the trou
ble, covers raw inflamed surfaces
with a healing coating, clears the
air passages, eases stuffy breath
ing and permits sound, refreshing,
health-building sleep. Mrs. F. A.

never failed in giving Immediate
relief and I am never without It."
