CAPTURE THE HORSE THIEF
Man Who Stole Horaea in Vicinity
of Canton Captured at Hia
Ranch Near Luak
(By Herald Correspondent.)
CANTON, Nobr., Dec. 30. On Sun
day, Dec. 21, W. A. Rider had three
fine mares etolen out of his paMure
and on Tuesday word was received
from tho Upper 33 that a man was
seen a short distance away trailing
three head of horses. Following up
the clue, kt was learned htat a mam
with, four horses camped at Fred
Davldeton' on Tuesday night and
probably would not have been seen
hod not Mr. Davidson gotten up be
fore the usual hour, intending to
make a trip htat required him to
rtee very early.
Although suspicion was arouned,
yut Mr. Davfetoun bad not heard of
the theft and allowed the stranger
to depart after compelling him to
eat breukfawt wtth him.
Some of the mares had colts by
their sides and when they did not
oome up, Mr. Rider ban an inves
tigation, lie wa accompanied by
John Ryan and Clif. Ilitbbell in the
soancn, and suspicion pointed to a
young man stayed over night at
Chna. Miner's, and although the
snow was very deep the trail was
followed northwest into Wyoming
This same young man made a trip
to the vicinity of Angora about a
week before and it was on his re
turn that the thft waa committed.
Considerable Information was gain
ed from the young man by M. L.
Whttaker who talked with him and
learned that his name was Ixuls
Herbst, snd that he had a ranch
18 mile northwest of Lu&k, Wyom
ing. This Information was wired to
Lusk and thfcs morning we learn the
thief has been apprehended about
25 miles northwest of Luak, that
Mr. Rider has possession of his
horaea, and that the sheriff of Con

In fact, the desire to own something

Dorothy pushed open the glaas doors
that led to the veranda. She knew
her way around the bouse better than
Allan. It was bis first visit to Sanibel
Island and ber fifth. She felt vaguely
superior and motherly toward this
stocky, tanned youngster Just fresh
from South America. Constance had
told her to take care of him, and when
Dorothy took cars of a young man she
rarely left him heart, head, or will
power.

aside a mass of shrubbery heavy with
fragrant blossoma. "He had a letter
from Mrs. Carruthers. She't Nat's
second cousin, and married to that
queer little Lawton Carruthers. I
think he's a lawyer In New York.
Anyway, he's made scads of money
since she married him. And Adele,
that Mrs. C, told Nat you were bound
this way. and for blm to waylay you
for the Christmas party here on the
Island. What's the matter?"
Forbes had stopppd dead short, his
head thrust a bit forward like a fight

while he steala the thing right under
my nose. Would you mind telling Nat
that I had to take his boat I've run
one before, up at Newport last Bum
mer. If you'll go back and tell
' him"
But Dorothy stood and looked
at
him gravely.
"I want to go with yon."
"It's impossible. I couldn't be"
"You couldn't be bothered with me.
I know that's what you were going to
say. But I'm going. I told Nat I'd
look f ter you, and we'll make sixty
miles an hour by air, fifty by water.
I don't mind it one bit We'll run
over the bay, send your message and
get back. I want to go, Allan."
He laughed shortly, ran his fingers
through his thick, crisp hair, and took
her outstretched hand.
"You witch. You've held me here
with your island holiday enchantment
Perhaps it's right for you to share this
with me. But do you know what it
means, Dorothy; do youT Do you
know why I've stayed on here?"
"You hurt my hand. Let's run be
fore we're missed."
She pulled her hand away from his
clasp and ran like a child over the
hard silvery sands. Forbes reached it
first, and wakened the boy. He stum
bled out, hitching up his suspenders,
and waited for the message Dorothy
w'rote on a scrap of paper torn from
Forbes' note book. She said:
"Come to Tampa with A. F. It's all
