of the miners that the operators are
amassing fortunes from the par prices

Several weeks ago, before going to
the mountains, the child swallowed
several large fruit seeds. At the time
her parents thought they had all pass-

However, she had been troubled with

ever since. Last night after retiring,
she was seized with a violent coughing
spasm and her mother hurled to her.

So sudden was the attack that no
guard had time to Interfere. Frank
fell to the floor, his cries calling the
attention of the guards, who switched
on the lights. Blood was spurtins;
from Frank's wounds and his assail
ant was trying to make his way back
to bed. A knife made from a file and
