V 'Ultl gi., hi a ■ . !!■■•> to develop

freed hi:.;, and he succeeded In get
tins sot: ■ inl ro'.n a relative.
Then he vlurncd to California after
mi alwiiii' of five months.
There he found 1 partner In Jail
charged with his (Treat's) murder.
Dirkinsen wi'.s r it-. ,1 at once, and
the two held a ee.ilV. 0. When their
stories were put toj. tlnr It came out
that Barker had id out a plan to get
po>.-> -ion - f tl;< r ie. lie wrote
Treat's cretiaoij. tl; t he had made
money, and they an ed for his kid
naping, petting him j<wny so secretly
that no one knew what had become of
him. Then Burner through paid stool
pigeons manufactured evidence to
show (hut Oiekinson had murdered his
partner.
The li.">t impulse "f the partners on
seeing through a scheme by which
both had suffered and Dickinson had
been sentenced to be banged was to
punish Barker legally. But after ln
Testlsuthm they f mid tljat he had
vuvereu his uucks su aurunij mut uu
would hove every advantage. Besides,
the law was not well administered,
and even if they could convict Barker
they would find it difficult to get him
punished.
They therefsne decided to fight him
In the way he had fought them. Treat
had brought money with him to devel
op the mine, but this they concealed
from Barker They pretended to be
discouraged and begged Barker to visit
| their mine, see for himself what it was
j worth and invest on his own terms.
They had no difficulty in convincing
I him of the mine's value, and after
j much haggling he agreed to let them
have 110,000 If they would cede to him
a half Interest.
They at once engaged a lawyer to
drivwr up an agreement and submitted
it to Barker. He was satisfied with
j It, and Dickinson copied it. Then all
; signed it, and one of the copies was
j delivered to Barker on payment of the
money.
For a time after that the mine did
well, but the partners soon told Bar
ker that they must have more money.
He grumbled, but agreed to give them
$.1,000 more for half their Interest,
making his own three-quarters. The
transaction was completed, and Bar
ker, who knew what the ore was pay
ing, was well pleased. But the part
ners soon wanted more money and got
it from Barker for half of their quar
ter interest, giving him all the mine ex
cept an eighth. The partners begged
him not to be so hard on them, but he
was relentless.
When the partners once more called
on Barker for more money he denied
them, but offered to buy their remain
ing eighth interest They finally as
sented, but with great apparent re
luctance. The money was paid and a
bill of sale made out and sighed by
Dic kinson and Treat, who were given
a month to settle up their affairs and
turn over the property.
The month passed, but the partners,
instead of settling up their affairs,
seemed to be developing the mine. On
the thirtieth day Barker got out all the
bills of sale they had given him and
went to the mine to demand posses
sion.
"We own this mine," said Dickinson,
"and we propose to keep it"
"We'll see about that," was Barker's
reply, and he opened his documents.
What was his surprise to see nothing
but blank paper.
When the miners had laid their
scheme to circumvent Barker, Treat
who before coming.to California had
been a manufacturer of Ink, knew of a
mixture that would look like ink, but
would fade entirely out within a few
days after being used on paper. Be
fore making any papers for Barker he
hud gone to San Francisco and pro
cnrcfl'some of this Ink, ana every noc
ument given Riwkor had been written
with It.
Barker, who was ruined, threatened
criminal proceedings, but (he partners
had covered their tracks as well as he
had covered his in his diabolical
scheme to net their mine. Dickinson
& Treat sold their property for $200,
000 and a half interest. Treat paid his
debts in full.
MILK AS A FOOD.
It Has More Dry Matter and Nutrftion
Than Some Solids.
The food value of milk, though a
hackneyed topic. Is worth a moment's
consideration, writes L>. S. Burch In
Farm and Fireside. Though It is a
liquid, milk contains more dry matter
than some solids. Skeptics can sur
prise themselves some dull day by put
ting a pan of milk iu the inner part of
a double boiler, evaporating It and ob
serving the dry matter it contains.
The figures that follow are interesting,
too, from a food basis:
Per cent Units of
Foods. ' dry matter, energy.
M^lk 12.5 310
Mushrooms 11.9 1S5
Oysters 11.7 2X
Spinach 1.7 95
Tomatoes 5.7 100
Notice that milk contains more food
solids and units of energy than any
article in the list Milk also is more
nourishing than tea, coffee or the com
mon soups as ordinarily made.
It also has this advantage, that prac
tically all of its solid matter Is digest
ed. It really contains no waste.
A quart of milk weighs about 2.1
pounds, which makes milk almost al
wnys cost less than 5 cents a pound,
the cheapest of all common foods ex
cept flour and grain products, cheap
cuts of meats nnd starchy vegetables
such as potatoes. All these products
require preparation and cooking, which
add to ali their original cost and should
be considered in preparing foods.
The method for selecting the best
grade of mills from the kinds availa
ble is a question which the consumer
must help himself to answer. The best
general rule is to observe the keeping
quality of the milk. If kept In a
clean place at a temperature of <!0 de
grees F. or less, good milk will remain
sweet twenty-four hours after delivery.

"Mamma." exclaimed little Elsie, "I
knew something awful about our min

"Why, what fcs it, dear?" asked her
mother In surprise.
"Why," continued Elsie, "he was
talking to a man on the street today,
and I heard him laugh right out loud."

SCENE FROM "A KINGDOM AT STAKE."
»• * KINGDOM AT STAKE" la a
/I now multiple reel release in
which the power of child lore
plays the leading'part. The leader of
the revolutionists is made tutor of the
little queen, nnd he falls in love with
her. He gives evidence against his
fellow conspirators, hut the tiny child
frees theuj and wins their loyalty.
Margarita Fischer Is put to an un
usual test In "The Other Train," a dra
ma soon to he released. She plays the
part of a character that is first seen-in
girlhood and Is at old Tige at the end
of the play. Mirs Fischer's versatility
is su !i that she successfully accom
plished lite feut.
A brand new animal picture, its
main plot centering about the life of
the circus, with its sawdust rings and
tight ropes, is the proposition upon
which director Fred Wright is now
working for a summer release.
Versatile Donald Crisp has produced
"On the Brink," which has Just been
released. He also plays the lead In the
drama which tells the story of a. wife's
narrow escape from a misstep through
the thoughtless words of her child.
"Meg o' the Mountains," by Richard
R. Rlilgely, In two parts. Meg, In an
unbalanced condition, of mind, recog
nizes Gregory as the father of her
child. Grant plans to get Gregory out
of the way, as they both love the
same woman. His plans are upset,
and Meg, in a moment of understand
ing, Identifies Grant and not Gregory
as the guilty man.
"The Stuff Tha't Dreams Are Made
Of," a new version of the celebrated
comedy. This is a burlesque melo
drama in the true sense of the word.
It carries a laugh with every turn of
the crank to the point of bringing tears
to your eyes.
HELEN LINDROTH.
Helen Llndroth hns created so many
"adventuress" parts that she says she
can hardly walk along the street now
without assuming a stealthy, snakelike
tread or dodging every" policeman In
sight.
In ''Lillian's Dilemma" a girl is re
fused admittance into a strict boys'
school, but determines to get "In any
h<Jw, Just for spite*and disguises her
self in a boy's suit of cloLhes, which
she had been commissioned by her
mother to bring her brother Dick. One
of the boys wears her clothes and gets
everybody into trouble. After confess
ing her deception and satisfactorily
explaining everything, Lillian finds her
brother and a" little later finds herself
engaged.
