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 verse county, Wyoming, baa the Chief. The increase of sickness which usually acoompaniei moderating vmther may be partly aoooentad for la thii way: The rue tn tempera rare outside ceases closing of This in turn permits the brick smokr smoldering coal must throw off. instead NEW TOY IS QUITE AMUSING Manikin Makaa Lusty Swipe at Baae balt Whan Spring la Releaeed BaU Like Ty Cobb.

It will not only increase the boy's hspplness. . but will teach him the value of acquisi tion within proper limits. Ha should have hia own playthlnga, his own tools. hia own books, hia own clothsa and a place of his own In which to keep them. A boy who Is permitted to do this will take better care of thlnga than If owned in partnership, and ha will learn eagerly to have a place for hia ! ' things and to keep tham In their place. And this la a valuable lesson. Do not make a younger boy wear his older brother's clothing which the latter has outgrown, if it can bs s voided. Of ourse in some families, where every cent counts, this cannot be helped. Ev ery boy, and wa speak from experi ence, hates to wear another's clothes. Hs wants his own.

V It's too hot to dance any mora." , 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. "I love to walk down through the. palm grove In the moonlight," ah, went on, tripping ahead of him under the great ahadowy fronds. "Don'tj you like the sea at night, Mr. Forbes H "Rather. After months In the An des I can't get enough of the water: It waa bully of old Nat to ask me hers! for the holidays. Yon know I was' bound north to Washington. No! thought of loafing at alL Wonder why, he did If 1 know." She hesitated, and held 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 rag bull, his eyes sparkling in the darkness as she looked up at him. "What is itr "Nothing special," he returned short ly. "Only you've saved my Ufa Where is the nearest cable station T" "Across the bay at Tampa. It's a three-hour trip In the motor boat Why?" "I've got to reach it tonight Listen. I've known you Just three days, haven't I? I know you'll think I've gone mad tonight if I tell you that I never intended staying here more than a day. I had to get up North to keen this same little Lawton Csrnith- nere, teiiing tnem to get an extension of time until I could get there. I didn't know any one besides ourselves knew of the plana to put the railroad through Perez to Qualtlpoco. Can yon see what it means now to me to hear this this to know that Carruthers has stolen a march on ua, had hia wife get near old Nat even to pull me off my course and stay over her 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 right Just like a big brother to me. Special business demands trip tonight to reach telegraph station before clos ing. DOT, In less than fifteen minutes they were ready, and she took ber seat in the cockpit, every nerve tingling for the coming fight It was twenty minutes to 12 when Mr. Forbes walked into the telegraph office and sent his wire north, the message that stopped Lawton Carruth ers' game, and kept the control of th railroad concession in the hands of Forbes' company. He went back to her down the old street to the water front. She knew the place where 'her brother mad his landings and bad guided Forbes to it Her hood had fallen back from. her head. Both hands reached out to him swiftly. "Did you get there in timer "We must get back to th island." she began, but Forbes gave a little un steady laugh, and drew her close la his arms. "You said I waa just a big brother. didn't you? Am I now, Dot, am If I'm going back with you tonight and tell Nat I've stolen you for good, yoa plucky, trueblue sweetheart" Dorothy closed her eyes aa his anna crashed her close. Th great winged bird boat waited for them, th bails pealed out their message. Sh drew back her face and laughed, her handa rumpling hia hair. "We forgot Allan.
