The most recent achievement of Canada's West is winning for the sec* ond time the magnificent $1,500 silver trophy awarded by the State of Colo* rado for the best peck of oats. At Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. C. Hill & Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan* placed a peck of oats grown on their farm in competition, with oats from every part of the world. The judges had no difficulty in deciding, and the inward was given to the Saskatchewan grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Expo­sition had no exhibition, and our Ca­nadian friends, although ready for a second contest had no opportunity. In 1913, the exhibition of the Society was held at Columbus, S. C , and It is said of it that it was one of the best yet held. At this exhibition, which comprised corn and all the smaller grains, Hill & Sons of Lloydminster had on exhibition for the contest an-other peck of oats grown on their Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There was no trouble for the judges, no time necessarily lost in reaching a decision, Hill & Sons won, and for the second time their name will appear on the crest of the cup. The third space will doubtless be occupied by their name, and then this splendid trophy will be theirs.

During the past few years Western Canada grains—wheat, oats, barley and flax—have been in competition with grains from all other countries, and in every case their superiority has been shown. It is not only in oats, but it Is in wheat, in barley and In flax, that Canada more than holds its own, when placed side by side with grains from other parts.

Mixed farming Is taking a strong hold not only in those parts of Mani­toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which up to the present have been de­voted solely to grain growing, but also in the districts contiguous, where the conditions of climate, shelter, water, grass and hay make farming of this kind, easy to prosecute and large In profits. It was in the Province of Manitoba that the steer was raised that carried off the Championship of the steer class, at Chicago last De­cember. This beast had been fattened on the grass and hay of the Province and the only finishing grain it had was barley; not an ounce of corn.

Western Canada presents innumer­able opportunities for the big farmer who wants to cultivate his thousands of acres, the medium man satisfied with a few hundred acres, the man who is content to farm his free home­stead of one hundred and sixty acres; it has opportunities for "the investor, the capitalist, the business man, the manufacturer and the laborer. r '

PIRATE TREASURE NOT FOUND

Thiee Year*.

PRESIDENT AGREES TO SMALL DUTY ON SUGAR EVENTUAL­

LY TO BE FREE

TARIFF TO BE REMOVED FROM WOOL AND STEEL RAILS

The Estimated Loss of Eighty Millions In Revenue Is to be Made Up by

Graduated Tax on Incomes

With President Wilson and congres­sional leaders practically agreed upon free wool and a low duty on sugar, eventually to become free, the ways and means committee began drawing its report on the new tariff bUl, est-mating the loss of revenue from the new rates at ¢80.000,000 a year.

The revenue from the income tax will be estimated at a like amount, to be derived in this way:

Incomes of $4,000 up to but not in­cluding $20,000, to be taxed at 1 per cent; $20,000 up to $50,000 2 pe*r cent; $50,000 to $100,000, 3 per cent; all over $100,000, 4 per cent

Flat tax on corporations, 2 per cent. The exemption will be on all in­

comes under $4,000. The income tax provision now stands this way and is not expected to he changed. Among the numerous additions to the free list will be ste^l rails. Cuts will be made all along the line on the metal sched­ule.

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the lead­er of the English militant suffrage ttea, was found guilty and sentenced to three years' penal servitude at the Old Bailey sessions in Lonaon on the charge of inciting persons to commit dLma^e. 4

The trial had lasted two days. The jury added to its verdict of guilty a strong recommendation for mercy, and when the judge pronounced the heavy sentence of three years the crowd ot women in the court room rose in angry protest.

As Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in the prisoner's inclosure her sympathizers cheered wildly, and then filed out of court singing "March On, March On" to the tune of the "Marseillaise."

Mrs. Pankhurst's closing address to the jury lasted 50 minutes. She in­formed the court that she did not wish to call any witnesses. In her address1

she frequently wandered so far from the matter before the court that the judge censured her.

"In impassioned tones she declared: "Whatever may be my sentence, I will not submit. From the very mo­ment I leave the court I will refuse to eat I will come out of prison dead or alive at the earliest possible mo­ment"

Justice Lush, in summing up ,told the jury that Mrs. Pankhurst's speeches were an admission that she had incited to the perpetration of i l­legal acts.

Mrs. Pankhurst almost broke down when the jury pronuonced its verdict.

Some times it does not pay to emu late great men of the past. A Vir­ginia yduth, while trying a Benjamin Franklin experiment in flying a kite through an electrical storm, Was In ftuntly electrocuted.

The treasure hunting party from Plymouth, England, which has been searching Cocos island in the Pacific for treasure supposed to have been buried there by pirates many years ago. has arrived at Panama on board the steamer Melmore without the hoped for pirate spoils. The Melmore sailed from Barry in September last, carrying in addition to the officers and crew, two London ladies and three gentlemen financially interested in a venture which was fondly hoped to return 100 per cent profit

Two other unsuccessful attempts to locate the buried gold and jewels of the buccaneers made by Earl Fitz-William and Mr. Harold Gray did not diminish the faith of the members of the Melmore expedition, who declared they had specific information of the exact position of the accumulated hoard.

One treasure was actually brought from Lima in 1820, consisting of gold bullion and articles to the value of about $25,000,000, and the other treas­ure, which is placed at an even high­er figure, was taken to Cocos island by the famous pirate Bonito. Despite the care with which the Melmore was fitted out—the expedition was esti­mated to cost $500,000—the search ap­pears to have been fruitless.

Former Governor Lost In Desert. Letters which have been received

from former Governor Chase S. Os-born, now in Egypt, by friends tell of a dangerous experience which Mr. and Mrs. Osborn met while crossing the Sahara desert On March 5, while crossing the desert with their cara­van, a fierce sandstorm arose and Mr. Osborn and his wife became separ­ated from their party. For a whole day their camels circled the desert, fiannly makin camp at an oasis. That night the remainder of the cara­van overtook them there.

Wilson to Address Reporters, Convinced that public business

would be expedited by the practice, President Wilson has decided to set aside two hours each week for "heart to heart" talks with the newspaper correspondents.

One hour will be devoted to the writ­ers each Tuesday morning and an­other hour will be given over to the same purpose Thursday afternoons.

The presdent will discuss adminis­tration policies and sketch his official programs, much of the matter dis­cussed necessarily being in confidence and solely for the guidance of the writ­ers.

Turkey. Accepts Peace.Plan Gladly. The Turkish government declared

that it unreservedly accepted the terms of peace proposed by the Euro­pean powers.

The foreign office handed the Otto­man acceptance to the dean of the dip­lomatic corps, accompanied by an ex­pression of thanks to the powers for their mediation.

Militant Suffragettes on Rampage The campaign of revenge for the

long sentence imposed upon Mrs. Em­meline Pankhurst wh.ch the suffraget­tes threatened, is proceeding actively and seems likely' to spread. Many outrages have been comm.tted. These included the complete destruction of the grandstand of the Ayr Race Course in Scotland, where the principal Scot­tish meetings are held, the damage being estimated at $15,000, and an at­tempt to burn the new grandstand of the Kelso race course, also in Scot­land.

The strike was won and all the newcomers got work, as well as the strikers.

Bear's Grease and Baldness. In a recent volume of reminiscences

the writer states that baldness is much more common now than in his early days, and ascribes the modern man's loss of hair to the decrease in the use of "bear's grease." , This pomade was made principally of lard colored and scented, but "hairdress­ers, many of whom called themselves 'professors,' used to advertise the slaughter of another fine bear/ ex hibiting a canvas screen depicting in glaring colors a brown animal of ele­phantine proportions expiring in a sea of gore."

Socialist Editor In Trouble. Alexsi E. Georgian, editor of a

Airship as Means of Suicide. Lieut. Perlovski, of the Russian

army, committed suicide at Warsaw by delibereately shutting off the motor of an aeroplane In which he was fly­ing and dropping from a height of 600 feet to the ground, according to a dis­patch.

In a letter Lieut Perlovski expressed^ his intention of committing suicide in mid-air, and gave as a reason that he had been the victim of many intrigues.

*ESiN0L RELIEVED ITCHING INSTANTLY

And Completely Cured Skin Humor.

If you have eczema or any other itching, burning skin trouble, the best evidence of what Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment can do for you is tbe word of one who was cured by them after weeks of suffering. Adolph Schoen, 742 Shepherd Ave., Brook-lyn» writes.

Nov. 1, '1012.—"At first little red Spots were seen on my arms and body, Which I noticed were getting larger every day. They itched me so much that I scratched myself until I bled. There were times when I stood up all might and scratched. I was troubled about three weeks, during which time I used — - , which seemed to do me no good whatever. Then, finally, I thought of trying Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment. As soon as I.ap­plied Resinol Ointment I felt much re­lief. After using it a few times, I no­ticed the sore spots slowly fading awiy, and in about a month I was cured completely." ' The soothing, healing balsams in Reslnol Ointment and Resinol Soap, penetrate every tiny pore of the skin, elearing it of all impurities, driving away eczema, rashes, ringworm, psori­asis* and other eruptions, and* making pimples and blackheads Impossible. Prescribed by physicians for eighteen years. For free samples write to Dept. J-K. Resinoir Baltimore, Md.

Washington, April 8.—President Wilson's first message to the Sixty-third congress, assembled in extraor­dinary session, was read in the senate and house today. It was surprising­ly short, being in full as follows: To the Senate and House of Repre­

sentatives: I have called the congress together

In extraordinary session because a duty was laid upon the party now in power at the recent elections which it ought to perform promptly, in order that the burden carried by the people under existing law may be lightened as soon as possible and in order, also, that the business interests of the country may not be kept too long in suspense as to what the fiscal changes are to be to which they will be re­quired to adjust themselves. It is clear to the whole country that the tariff duties must be altered. They must be changed to meet the radical altera-tion in the conditions of our ecnomic life which the country has witnessed within the last generation.

While the whole face and method of our industrial and commercial life were being changed beyond recogni­tion the tariff schedules have re-mained what &ey were before the change began, or have moved in the direction they were given when no large circumstance of our industrial development was what it is today, Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suf­fering from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the na­ture of free business) instead of by the law of legislation and artificial ar­rangement.

Business Not Normal. We have seen tariff legislation

wander very far afield in our day— very far indeed from the field in whicn our prosperity might have had a nor­mal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts squarely ln the face or knows anything that lies be­neath the surface of action can fail to perceive the principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We long ago passed beyond the modest notion of "protecting" the industries of the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the government. For a long time— a time so long that the men now active in public policy hardly remember the conditions that preceded it—we have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or pro­ducers what they themselves thought that they needed in order to maintain a practically exclusive market as against the rest of the world. Consciously or unconsciously, we have built up a set of privileges and exemptions from competition be­hind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to organize monopoly; until at last noth­ing is normal, nothing is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and econ­omy, in our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted ar­rangement. Only new principles of action will save us frcm a final hard crystallization of monopoly and a complete loss of the influences that quicken enterprise and keep inde­pendent energy alive.

It is plain what those principles must be. We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of priv­ilege or of any kind of artificial ad­vantage, and put our business men and producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient, economical, and enterprising, masters oi competitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any ln the world. Aside from the duties laid upon articles which we do not, and probably cannot, produce, therefore, and the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yield, the object of the tariff du­ties henceforth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of Ameri­can wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world.

Development, Not Revolution. It would be unwise to move toward

this end headlong, with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own invitation. It does not alter a thing to upset It and break it and deprive It of a chance to change. It destroys it. We must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object Is development, a more free and wholesome development, not revolution,or upset or confusion. We

must build up trade, especially for­eign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up industry as well and must adopt freedom In the place of arti­ficial stimulation only so far as it will build, not pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this may be done will be a matter of judg­ment, exercised item by Item.

To some not accustomed to the ex­citements and responsibilities ol greater freedom our methods may iu some respects and at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies. It is our business to make sure that they are genuine remedies. Our object Is clear. If our motive is above just challenge and only an occasional error of judg­ment is chargeable against us. we shall be fortunate.

We are called upon to render the country a great service in more mat­ters .than one. Our responsibility should be met and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as if we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day, with the facts ot no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It is best, indeed it Is neces­sary, to begin with the tariff. I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can ob scure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At a later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to re forms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompany them, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and cur­rency laws; but just now I refrain. For the present, I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing—of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free channels of pros­perity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file.

WOODROW WILSON. The White House, April 8, 1918.

FAMILY NAMES OF ROYALTY

Royal Personages Descended Mostly From Counts, Existing Long Be­fore Surnames Came Into Use.

The royal families of Europe have not generally a surname because mostly (unlike the English houses of Stuart and Tudor, which were the re­spective surnames of the first kins? of each house before he ascended .he throne) they are descended in the male line from some territorial counts existing long previous to the period in which the somewhat mod­ern custom of surnames prevailed. King Georoge V derives in the male line from the ancients counts of Wet-tin (flourishing in the tenth century), afterwards electors of Saxony, dukes of Saxe Coburg, Gotha, etc. His an­cestors ln the male line were of the house of Este, one of whom, Azo of Este, married early in the tenth cen­tury the daughter and heiress of Guelph, duke of Bavaria, from which match sprang ln the male line the dukes of Brunswick-Lunenburg, after-, wards electors of Hanover, and kings of Great Britain. The members of the royal family are described by their princely titles in proceedings in the house of lords' and no allusion is made to any surname—for in­stance, they sign the test roll merely by their personal or Christian name, and we know nothing of any surname which appertained by right or by usa^e, to her late majesty, Queen Vic­toria, or to his majesty King George V.

Bermuda Fish. At the market during a recent week

many handsome fish were to be seen, several of them taken by American tourists, and afterward presented to the fisherman who "took them out." Large amber-jacks and bonitoes, splen­did game fish and chubs, as plucky and "flghty" a fish as ever took bait, were well represented.

Among the others seen on the mar­ket hooks and elsewhere were blue-fish,, yellowtails, red snappers, gray snappers, butterflsh, gags, hamlets, "hines," salmon and black rockfish, porgies and red rockfish. "Nigger fish," the long ago despised finny midget, has been metamorphosed to the now much sought after "choicest of the choice'* of sea delicacies, the "butter fish."—Bermuda Colonists.

-"Soft" Job for Constable. Pension are not the only things com-

Samuel

N the memory of "Tim" Don­ahue, twenty years a cus­toms Inspector of the port of New York—and tbey were vivid, amazing recol­lections that he had!—a tale he would tell on rare

occasions is that which is here set down under the title of "The Patri­otic Young Man."

"Georgie Tingo" is what "Tim" Donahue always called the patriotic young man, and sometimes the in­spector would look glum and grim in discussing the youth, but as often he

would end the yarn with a good na-Uired chuckle in spite of himself.

In the passenger list of the big Dcean liner which the patriotic young man boarded at Southampton bound for New York he was listed as Sam­uel Maryland Mapes—a name that fairly waved and snapped like a star spangled banner in a breeze.

And Patrick Henry, George Wash­ington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Nathan Hale all rolled Into one could have produced no greater patriot than Samuel Maryland Mapes—"named right after my Uncle Sam" he told a score of the passen­gers before the ship had been three hours out of Southampton.

"Ah! gentlemen," cried young Mr. Mapes in the smoking room the very first night out as he lifted hjs cham­pagne glass high, "drink with me to my country—I hope you are all so for­tunate as to be able to call it your country—to the United States!" He srulped down the toast and imme­diately held out his glass to the wait­er for replenishment. "I drink again!" be continued, "to home—home— HOME! Holy mackerel, how I long for the United States! It's two years Bince I waved a gay hand in farewell to Liberty ,ih New York harbor. Walt till we get back? You'll have to hold me on the deck, gentlemen, when we pass her, for I feel capable of leap­ing off the boat and landing right on the dear old girl's bronze shpul-3er—bee-lieve me!"

"The guv'nor gave me three years to travel in. Two's been enough— plenty for anybody who's got the United States for a permanent home and New York for a playground."

The young man brought his voice to a more moderate key and changed the clutch on the speed of his con­versation; at the same time rounding with his glance several wealthy old

» gentlemen who were looking with in-6 dulgent consideration on his high-

spiritedness. "I'm so glad to be home­ward bound my pulse is beating about ninety above normal. I know mother and my sisters will be dreadfully dis­appointed. I know they are expecting me to come back with a sassy little French mustache .sticking on my Hp and my legs held "light in narrow Eng­lish pants, and maybe they're expect­ing a single pane of glass in my face and a top hat pushed down over my ears."

"All I want to do is get back; pick out my sweet Amerian girl; sit in at a desk as nearly next to father as the old gentleman will permit; get Into the game; put on my hustling clothes and wave* the good old star Bpangled banner till the gong rings." When he said that, two of the afore­said old gentlemen were moved to arise and slap him on the back and announce:

"Good boy! That's the talk! That's the stuff! You're the right kind of an American." And one of them said further: "Your dad ought to be proud of you."

"I'm proud of him!" replied young Mr. Mapes. "I haven't got any use for a belted earl or duke or a prince —no, not even a gosh-blamed king as a father—or anything else. My old dad—a straight American business man and gentleman—he's plenty good enough for me."

Both the old gentlemen were so overcome at this point that they simultaneously called to the steward to fetch more champagne. And even a red-faced Englishman, withja string-less monocle maintained quite mar-velously in his eye, accepted a glass. He observed with a good-humored smile that the lad had "no end of cheek/' but declared that patriotism even of young Mr. Mapes' violent brand was most pardonable on any •tad all occasions *ad graciously lift­

ed his glass as one of the old gentle­men cried:

'A toast to Mr.—Mr. V "Samuel Maryland Mapes! "Samuel Maryland Mapes of—of?—" "The U. S. A.!" replied the gay

young patriot. "Samuel Maryland Mapes of the

U. S. A.!" declared the toastmaster, and young Mr. Mapes bowed low.

It was as "Samuel Maryland Mapes, U. S. A.," also that he was listed on the roster of the ship's passengers-no town or city of residence given— just "U. S. A."

Now, not only did young Mr. Mapes win favor among the "Yankees" of the smoking room set, but though irrepressible and with his patriotism always to the fore, he nevertheless captivated the American matrons and American girls aboard.

When the ship was within two days of port it became palpable that the young patriot simply could not stand the nervous strain of the an­ticipation of once more stepping upon the soil of the land of his adoration He began to, cause the head steward worry—for fear the Champagne wouldn't hold out. He sent cham-pagne to the American ladies with little American flags on tiny staffs set in tiny corks floating over the bubbles; forty times in the smoking room he lifted a glass and burst into patriotic song. ^

The pretty girls and the matrons were saddened to hear of these ex-cessive indulgences.

So, although young Mr. Mapes paced the deck that morning and afternoon looking a trifle glum, and subdued, the greetings from all sources were as cordial as ever— even when it was rumored that the last night at sea he hadn't gone to bed at all, but had sat up with a wine bottle in one hand and the flag of his country tied turban-wise around his flushed brow, absolution was still ac­corded him and no social bars fell athwart his path.

No—not in spite of the fact that the next morning, with Fire Island in sight, Samuel Maryland Mapes gave every indication of keeping his spree goin^. He was everywhere along the deck, shouting, laughing.

"Home—home—home!" he shouted repeatedly, and did a sort of combina­tion fandango and Cakewalk the length of the shore-sio>/promenade He almost had a fit of hysterics when off the Fire Island reefs the big liner settled down to a very much reduced speed.

Everybody winked and smiled at everybody else and turned indulgently only when they heard him yell:

"Oh, what a bully idea! What a peach of a notion! Hooray!"

The patriot rushed off the prom­enade and for a few minutes quiet had an inning on the deck. But only for a few minutes.

With his arms loaded with bottles of wine, Samuel Maryland Mapes came back. There was an added decoration on the corks of the bottles. On each was sticking a little Amer­ican flag.

"These," cried out Mr. Mapes, tJ. S. A., "are for the tery first Amer­ican I meet on the pier—whoever he or she may be^-the jsr ry first real sure enough male or female citizen of the United States—without respect of race, color or previous condition of servitude that I bump Into will get these bottles—four of fem—•and each one decorated with the dear old flag."

Suddenly one of the passengers turned to Mapes and laughed as he pointed to an old, battered oyster sloop with a big, dirty white sail that was calmly sailing along beside the great ocean steamship and owing to the reduced speed of the liner Just then was able to hold her own.

"Does he get the wine?" asked this passenger, pointing out the old sharp-featured skipper at the sloop's tiller.

And a pretty girl nearby said: "He's American, I guess. The

name of his boat, she volunteered, scanning the sloop's stern, "is the 'Mabel, Rockaway, L. I.'"

"Well, you "know I said the first American I should meet on the pier," said Mapes.

"Oh!" interjected a passenger, "you're backing out!"

"I should say not!" cried Mapes it flushed indignation, "only let me bt sure he's an American and you bet your life he gets the wine!"

Many eyes were turned then on the man in the sloop. He was a sparse, hook-nosed, grizzled man under whose straggly mustache an old black pipe thrust itself forward.

"Ahoy, there, Mabel!" yelled Sam-ue! Maryland Mapes; "ahoy, there, skipper!"

"Ahoy yourself," said the man with the black pipe, none too cordially.

"Would you mind telling me youi name?" pursued Mapes.

"Ralph Smith. Why?" "Are you an American?" "What?" "Are you an American?" "I guess I am, sonny. I guess I was

before you was born. So was my great-grandfather!" ] "Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue!" yelled Mr. Mapes.

"Well, Mr. Smith, I'm tickled to death to meet you—to meet any American!" he went on, and waved enthusiastically as the man with the black pipe expressed a dry smile and negotiated his sloop somewhat closer to the liner. "And Mr. Smith, here are four bottles of wine. Here goes! Catch*'em!"

For all his experiences of the past two days, young Mr. Mapes threw the first bottle with admirable aim. Skipper Ralph Smith as neatly caught it. But even if he hadn't, the bottle probably would have landed safelv enough on the pile of jute bags at the sailor's feet.

'Smack!" wejrt the second bottle as accurately into Captain Smith's hands. And the third and the fourth the same.

So that-when a petty officer ran up to warn Samuel Maryland Mapes that It was against the marine law to pass anything off the ship until it had left quarantine and the customs, Skipper Smith hall all four bottles In his pos­session and was bowing with one hand and working the tiller to tack away from the steamship with the other, the wine bottle$: \ik his lap.

'Tm really very;jiorry," young Mr. Mapes explained, ''but I was quite ignorant of the regulations."

• • • • * . "It wasn't till seven years after­

ward," Tim Donahue would tell you, "that I found out about the young man who worked up his patriotism all the way over for the neat purpose Of tossing those bottles with Amer­ican flags on them to the first fellow citizen he should meet when the ship got Into the harbor. Those bottles contained about $150,000 worth of contraband gems. Of course, Skipper 'Ralph Smith' was 'Georgie Jingo's pal. He was a slick one, too. He ought to have called that old sloop the eel. He was always sneaking up beBide the liners ready to have some thing passed over the side before the big ship reached quarantine and cu» toms. WO finally got him, and in s string of confessions that he mad* we got the story of the patriotic young man. The worst of It was wt had a secret agent on that very boat hilt he, like all the rest of 'era. fell fo* the little scheme of Samuel Mary-landrWj&pes, IL S. A."

CAME FROM F A R M

Utility Girl Was Also From Coun­try, and Became Wife of

Good Customer.

By SUSANNE GLENN. Lucy Lane was a sort of utility girl

at Madam Lorimer's establishment. Most of her time was spent in the back room ripping trimmings from hats that needed altering, or chang­ing the length of garments.

Lucy did not often get a chance to wait on customers. Her face was too thin and colorless to be pretty, and she wore unlovely, serviceable dresses; Madam liked to have every­thing in her establishment exquisitely sweet and attractive.

But Lucy did not complain. She was only too thankful for the situa­tion as it stood, anu wondered why Madame kept her at all. She was too modest to realize the value of her painstaking service.

She was thankful, to, for her mis­erable little hall-bedroom, because she had always been able to keep her room to herself.

But even with this fund of "thank­fulness" at her command, Lucy would have had a hard time if it had not been for her dreams!

When the back room or the hall-bedroom became insufferably hot and breathless, she dreamed about the green grass, the waving trees, the re­freshing breezes of her beloved coun­try where she had spent early years of her life.

When the rumble of drays .arid the crash of cars made her head throb, she dreamed of the drowsy afternoons filled with the droning of bees and crickets, and the croaking of frogs at twilight.

When her fingers were blue with cold, she dreamed of the crackling of fragrant wood fires and the warmth of yellow lamplight.

Then, quite unexpectedly one day, a new impetus was added to them. She was standing near the front door wait­ing for a dress that needed altering, when a man entered and looked about uncertainly.

The face above his neat, white col­lar was ruddy from sun and wind, with a white band across the fore­head where his hat gave protection. Everything about him, from his finer steady eyes to his easy, plain suit of gray wool spoke to Lucy of the coun­try, and when their eyes met, she smiled unconsciously, as upon a friend.

"Can you wait on me?" inquired the man, stepping forward.

"One of the other girls will know more about things," suggested Lucy, modestly.

wBut I prefer you," he smiled. '-'You see, I'm not just sure what I do want, and I know you will not laugh at me. It may seem ridiculous, but do you know it is very disconcerting to be laughed at under such cir­cumstances?"

"I promise you not to laugh," said Lucy. "Now tell me what you wish'.'

"All sorts of things for a baby a year old. Yes, everything, he seems to be about out of everything. Yes, he lives in the country, and needs Just everyday thlng3, you know. And not too many white things—his moth­er is pretty busy!"

Lucy smiled, and made suggestions. The man bought lavishly,

"There, I think that will do," he agreed at last. "I naver would have thought about his outgrowing them. Now, ar couple of suits for dress-up, and I guess it will do.

Never had Lucy made up a box with greater care. She almost felt like crawling under the cover herself for the sake of getting back to the country.

That evening she was happy think­ing about the baby with his store of new things. The autumn wind that rattled the loose frame of her win­dow so dismally would make music in the chimney before which the mother would be trying on the little gar­ments.

To Lucy's delight, the man came again to Madame Lorimer's. She was in the back room, bent almost double over a bit of dark sewing in the dim autumn afternoon, but he asked for her, and Madame called her, well pleased.

"It is the little girl this time/* he said. "She is four years old and rath­er small for her age. I wanted to bring her along, but her mother thought it was too cold. I came to you again, because you did so well by me before—the little fellow has looked as fine as a king all winter!"

Lucy flushed witu pleasure and ex-citement while she picked out sensi* ble little rompers and gingham frocks and stout stockings, followed by the dainty white frocks and frilly petti-coats dear to every child's heart.

"You had better tell me your name." suggested the man, as he prepared to leave. "I'm liable to have to come again, and I'd like to know >hom to ask for. My name is Richard Falk-uer."

"I used to know ot Falkners when Mived In the country," said Lucy, giv­ing her name;

"1 suspect, then," said Faikuer, "you must belong to the. ^aytead-^rner Lanes?" And they proceeded to get very well acquainted indeed.

Occasionally through the winter Falkner came for something for the two children. Occasionally an old

^neighbor of Lucy's found ihe way Jn. following his directions. V

None of this escaped the eagle eye of Madame Lorimer. Could it be there was the making of a saleslady In her plain, little utility girl?

With the New Year, Lucy's pay en­velope had an increase sufficient to warrant a.C prettier gown, and she spent less time in the^baek room.

Yet Lucy was strangely unhappy. Her dreams of the country brought an unaccountable ache to her heart She felt a dread of Beeing Falkner. His presence had once seemed-the;only link between her and her old, happy life. ,

Lucy felt tired, too. Perhaps was the added responsibility and. ex­citement of the front, room.

Month by month her improved ap­pearance spoke of the increase in her wages. But with all her prosperity, the girl's face held the same kind look that made people trust her.

Lucy stood near the front door the night before Easter, watching the weary girls returning from their hasty suppers. The rush for the past week had been almost intolerable.

She did not notice Falkner's en­trance, until he spoke, close beside her. \ , • •

"Good evening. Why, you are so fine, Miss Lane, I hardly knew you!"

Lucy tried to smile as she inquired what he wished.

"Nothing for the children this time. I have decided that their mother ought to have her chance this trip. Don't all the ladies like new bonnets and things at Easter time. Miss Lucy?"

Lucy's courage faltered for an in­stant. Then she sensibly remembered that she was first of all saleslady for Madame Lorimer!

"I should say that anything you can wear would just about fit her. And_ you'll just have to go ahead by your­self; I am more at sea than I was with the children's fixings."

The girl mechanically made a selec­tion of serviceable garments that she though suited a busy, country worn-ah.

"Now the 'bonnet,'" she said, smil­ing.

"Try them on," commanded Falknet admiringly. "But pick out something sober—she isn't a Very lively Woni an any more."

"But she must be a very happy one," exclaimed Lucy, imperiously.

"Why do you think that?" "How could she help being With

two dear little children, ahd & pood home, and—so kind a husbatid." Hot voice trailed off, miserably.

"But that Is just exactly what she doesn't have. He is worse than a fail­ure -as a husband, if he is my.,, own brother. And her home is about as poor as you can imagine. But she sticks by him for some unaccountable reason. I try to do what I can for her. Why, Lucy, did you think—"

He paused and looked into her flush­ed, embarrassed face.

"And tell me, dear, did you care?" He crushed her hand^ln his own, tc the immediate peril of the 'sober' l i t tie hat she was holding.

"I—I—" "Listen," he said, In a matter-of-fact

voice, "this Isn't much of a time oi place to tell you what I wish to—-but I'm going to risk it.

"Lucy, I came especially to ask you to come home with me. . I've dreamed all winter what life would be like with you. Will you marry me, tomorrow?"

She looked deep Into his eyes. "And now," be said with a happy,

laugh, "let's pick out your Easter bonnet—dear!" (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News­

paper Syndicate.)

Mixed Metaphors. The British house of commons it

never so amused as when a membei is betrayed, in his enthusiasm, into a mixed metaphor. Mr. Balfour, some time ago, spoke of "an empty theitei of unsympathetic auditors," while Lord Curzon remarked that "though not out of the wood, we have a good ship." Sir William Hart Dyke ha* told how Mr. Lowther "had caught a big fish in his net, and went to the top of the tree for it," while a flnan cial minister assured the commons that "the steps of the government should go hand In hand with the in terests of the manufacturer." And it was in the lords that the government was warned that "the constitutional rights of the people were being tram* pled upon by the mailed hand of at* thority."

Not for Him. "Hello there, Mr. Broadway!1' hailed

Woodleigh as he spied his friend com­ing out of the theater. "I've been looking for you., I want you to come up to the Adlrondacks with me this summer. You know the\' sceneryis simply great!" >^

"That may be," wearily responded Mr. Broadway, "but what-«^'- i^ |}i«-ecenery without the c h o m r

hair; the men complained that the matches in the smoking-room would not strike. There was rather less activity in the deck-games now that the ship was fairly In the tropics; the demand for iced-drinks became abnormal and the lengthy menu at lunch and dinner was rather slighted. People wanted to get back to their chairs on deck, for on one side at least there was something approach­ing a breeze. A great many pej>ple slept at night in their chairs or had the mattresses brought up from their bunks and spread on the deck. In the cabins, especially those which got no breeze at all, in spite of electric fane, the atmosphere was like that of a very warm conservatory. In the bathrooms the cold shower had be­come lukewarm and the moment you left the water you felt the desire to bathe again. Dressing for dinner was a torment, but it was a torture to which everyone submitted. And^the hair which somehow or other the women had made presentable re-

Because after all we were to see so little of the islands of enchantment We rose early on the day during which we were to reach Suva In Vita Levy.

There was a lively scene on the Jetty. It appeared as if half the in* habitants of the place had come down to greet us.

Some 6t the Fijians were black but the skin of others was surprisingly light. All of them had fair hair, for, like so many other South Sea island­ers, they bleach it with coral lime The hair stood' up straight and stiff from their heads and as if to modify the fierce appearance that this gives to them some of the men had stuck in the front of their hair a single flower. Besides the Fijians . there were a great number of Indians who had come over to the islands to work in the sugar plantations.

Samoans Dance. Before our ship sailed there came

on board a party of Samoan dancers. Why the Fijians did not entertain us I did not discover, but as specta­tors they made a picturesque back­ground to the dancers.

The Samoan men were dressed in cerise silk shirts and bright lava-lava

It rained a great deal. But the storms, which came up quickly and burst over the ship and swept on, did not cool the air. They served only to add to the general moisture and to make everyone rather more sticky. They were aerial storms that hardly affected the ocean.

Fair Voyage. From Sydney to Auckland and

from New Zealand till now, when we were approaching the .Fijian islands, t ie voyage had been fair. There bad been no day of storms; all tbe same It bad not been such a passage over smiling seas as we had pictured

Near to New Zealand we had seen albatrosses and, on the horizon, a school of whales; but for some days the only living things to watch had been the flying fishes, darting on gossamer wings over the water. Not a ship had been sighted and it really seemed astonishing that our captain was to steer us through the region of the South Sea islands—as numer­ous, according to our little map of the world, as the stars In the heavens— and give us sight of only one or two Islands in a single group! We had never really realized that the distance between Fiji and the Marquesas Is-lands, fdr instance, was roughly the same as between San Francisco and Philadelphia; that the whole of Aus­tralia could be dropped between them; that there wefe Islands in the Ftti group more than two bw«4r«4 wiles apart

At first the girls took no part in tbe dance, though they clapped their hands and joined in the musical chanting. The men squatted in a double row on the deck, clapping their hands, striking their thighs, going through a rhythmical series of mo­tions with their arms, their heads, their whole bodies. Then they swung round and one behind another as in their native canoes they swung their bodies in perfect time chanting loud­er and louder. Suddenly two of tbe girls sprang to their feet and began a low -sensuous d*nce, putting their heads on one side, biting their Mips and swaying their bodies, moving more and more rapidly. When they sank to the ground the men recom­menced.

The dancers went on shore; on the jetty native constables were arresting a number of boys who had been div­ing for coins from the end of the pier; the ship backed out slowly into the lagoon.

CHARACTER TOLD BY RECIPES

Autobiography of Housewife Is Re­vealed In Cooking Directions

Which She Keeps*

By nothing is a housekeeper move distinctly known than by her cooking recipes. A collection from different sources is almost autobiographical Between the lines one may estimate the amount of income, the sise of the family, the character of their enter* taining, and to some extent the men­tal caliber of the writer. One person may be habitually extravagant in the use of eggs and butter, another is conspicuously stingy. The house* keeper, cooking for a large family, gives directions on such an ample scale that the bride is appalled. Some cooks run to the elaborate and fussy, and and others restrict them­selves to the easiest and simplest dishes. Some evidently cater to del­icate stomachs, and show in their se­lections that there are invalids and children at their table. Others seem to revel in delicious indigestibles.

As to the form in which a recipe is given, the writer shows plainly whether £he is systematic and me­thodical or careless and haphazard. The order in which ingredients are put together and a careful measure­ment of the materials are indispen­sable features of a recipe. Nothing is so discouraging to a beginner as the vague reference to "flour enough for a stiff dough/1 or "milk enough for a thin batter." The housekeeper whose pantry shelves are kept in good order is apt to write a neat and ex­ploit recipe. The knack is worth ac­quiring.

EGGS SERVED IN A NEW WAY

Style Known as "Washington" Is Rec­ommended as a Change From the

Old Method of Cooking.

Roll 12 fresh eggs for eight min­utes; remove, plunge in cold water for a minute, lift up and shell them; cut a piece off the thicker end of each so they will stand up; cut a quarter of the white from the top so as to enable you to easily scoop out the yolks; when all are scooped out, place the yolks in a bowl with one ounce finely grated Virginia ham, one saltspoon chopped parsley, one saltspoon chopped chervil, a tablespoon of good butter and two tablespoons thick cream; season with half-teaspoon salt, a saltspoon grated nutmeg. Mix > the whole together to a puree, place in a paper cornet and carefully press In­to the ecoopedout eggs; cut 12 round pieces of bread, quarter-inch thick and one and one-half inches in diameter; toast to a nice golden brown; lay an egg on each toast and place on a tin; cover the eggs with the cutoff tops, spread evenly over the eggs the fol­lowing sauce: Heat in a saucepan one and one-half tablespoons melted but­ter, add two tablespoons sifted flour, stir well, then add one and one-half gills hot milk; season with one-half teaspoon salt, two saltspoons cayenne pepper and a saltspoon grated nut­meg; sharply whisk for two minutes; add one ounce grated Parmesan cheese and whisk for two minutes; add one egg yolk, briskly mix while cooking for two minutes without al­lowing to boil; after spreading over eggs, set in the oven to bake for ten minutes, or until of a golden color; remove to a hot dish and serve.

We will all agree that the bungalow marks a great improvement in sum­mer resort architecture. As a sum­mer cottage, whether located in the mountains, on the edge of a forest or by lake or river, the graceful, informal lines of the bungalow seem to adapt themselves Ideally to their environ­ment. When contrasted with the old-time, box-like, jig-saw ornamented af­fairs that were known as summer cot tages, the improvement is very ap­parent Commenting on this matter, the well-known architect, Wilson Byre, brings out some valuable points in a recent number of Country Life in America. His contention is that the bungalow fad is carrying us to archi­tectural extremes that are not good for domestic architecture in general.

As a style for general suburban use the bungalow appears to be misused and is generally objectionable when so used. As already mentioned, it has its place and purpose; first, as a week­end or summer retreat it forms an ideal contrast to our more preten­tious, over-luxurious dwellings; sec­ond, it is a harmonious building for an informal location; third, when an inexpensive structure is desired the bungalow offers the maximum com­fort and beauty for the minimum cost.

Because the bungalow is so widely misused and misunderstood, it may be well to try to answer the question, What is a bungalow? and to analyze

so dismally out of place as a fad that has ceased to be.

There is another fact regarding the bungalow which has become current and that is that a one-story house is cheaper to build, and In other ways more economical than a two-story house. The increased expense of floors and roof counter-balance, how­ever, the less expense of the wall. Plumbing and lighting are but little cheaper, if any; and because the structure is spread out it is not as easy to heat as its advocates would have us believe. Moreover, the bung­alow takes up more ground than a two story house of the same number of rooms, which is a matter for consid­eration while land is costly and build­ing lots small.

In India the bungalow proved to be the best solution of the heat prob­lem; not because a low, broad roof produces a cool house by any means, hut because the wide overhang of the eavos broke the glare of the intense sunshine. Bungalow rooms are not likely to be as cool as the first floor rooms of a well-ventilated two-story hoase.

Doubtless there is a reason for the popularity of the bungalow style in southern California and Florida. It is always summer there. Yet this au­thority believes that the residents of Pasadena and Los Angeles are not quite on the right track when they build whole streets of low, broad, heavy-eaved affairs that are just now "in fashion." However, he has a good word to say for the bungalow when it is in its right place.

To his mind, the bungalow should be not only a one-story house, but a very simple, informal one-story house. It is a style for the woods

its real purpose in the general scheme of American home building.

The term bungalow is one which Is variously applied to rustic camps, to one-story seaside cottages, low, broad one-story dwellings and even to two* story houses built on broad, extended lines with a low pitch to the root It is not, however, properlv used when applied, as is so often done, to houses

and the seaside, for the place where rest and not luxury are sought It should be free from architectural em­bellishments, simply furnished, adapt­ed to hot weather. For these purposes the bungalow Is a vast improvement over the average log camp or the us­ual jig-saw cottage of the seaside re­sort. It is graceful in line and sug­gests comfort Because it is intend­ed to be informal, it does not demand expensive construction or finish.

If one has only a small amount of money to spend, one can undoubtedly secure greater grace and beauty of outline by placing all the rooms on one floor, than by piling them up on top of each other. A five-room, two-story house built for $1,500 or $2,000 must necessarily be a plain, uncom­promising cubical box. If these same five rooms were to be grouped on one floor, the unpleasant square propor­tions are avoided, the angle of the roof becomes more pleasing and the whole effect more graceful, with no addition­al cost

A very good illustration of what Is meant by this is shown In the accom­panying perspective and plan. This is a five-room cottage, 30 feet 6 inches in width by 40 feet 6 Inches long. It has been successfully built for $2,000. It is appropriate not only for summer cottage use, but also for rural or sub­urban site where a small, home-like dwelling is desired for use the year 'round. It has just a suggestion of the bungalow style, just enough to give it attractiveness without making it look out of place.

It is supposed to b* the up to-date fashion in many localities; but as with many ^called fashions, there is little reasonable excuse for its prev. alence. tike many fads, it ts bound to run Its course and there Is nothing

He secures a tug and when near the yacht drops overboard,, Aleck Van Camp, friend of Hambleton; had an ap­pointment with him. Not meeting Ham­bleton, he makes a call upon friends, Madame and Miss Melanie Reynier. He

The Englishman swung into the road, but did hot endeavor to overtake the other. They were traveling to­ward the main village, along a road that m ore or less hugged the shore. Sometimes it topped a cliff that dropped precipitately Into the water; and again it descended to a sandy lev­el that was occasionally reached by

CHAPTER XIX.—Continued. It was not difficult to get on his

track, even though the village people were constitutionally reluctant to let any unnecessary information get away from them. A mile or so farther up the shore, beyond the road that ran like a scar across the hill to the gran­ite quarry, Chamberlain came upon a saloon masquerading as a grocery store. A lodging house, a seaman's bethel and the reading room were grouped near by; the telegraph office, too, had been placed at this end of the town; obviously for the convenience of the operators of the granite quarry. The settlement had the appearance of easy-going and pleasant industry pe­culiar to places where handwork is still the rule.

Chamberlain applied first at the gro* eery store without getting satisfaction. The foreign looking boy, who was the only person visible, could give him no information about anything. But at the reading room the erstwhile yacht owner was known. Borrowing money is a sure method of impressing one's personality.

The Frenchman had been in the neighborhood two or three days, lat­terly becoming very impatient for a reply to his New York telegram. A good deal of money had been applied for, was the opinion of the money­lender. This person, caretaker and II-brarian, was a tall, ineffective indi­vidual, with eyes set wide apart. His slow speech was a mixture of Dr. Johnson and a judge in chancery. It was grandiloquent, and it often took long to reach the point. He Informed Chamberlain, with some circumlocu­tion, that the Frenchman had been extremely anxious over the telegram.

"I tried to persuade him that It was useless to be impatient over such things/' said he. "And I regret to say that the man allowed himself to be­come profane."

"I dare say." "But it would appear that b* has re­

ceived his telegram by this time," con­tinued the youth, "for it is now but a short time since he was summoned to the' station;"

Chamberlain, thinking that the soon­er he got to the telegraph station the better, was about to depart, when the placid tones of the librarian again casually broke the silence.

"If I mistake not, the gentleman in question is even now hastening to-! ward the village." He waved a vague hand toward the open door through which, a little distance away, a man's figure could be seen.

'/Why don't you run after him and

Set your money?" asked Chamberlain; utfce didn't know the youth. "What good would that do?" was the

surprising question, which Chamber­lain could not answer.

But the Englishman acted on a dif­ferent principle. He thanked the Ju<Jge Jn qhancery and made after the Frenchman, who was casting a furtive eye in this and that direction, as It

? ^ o s „ e l ^ l h ^ 1¾!! ll r ^ I " s ? £ w ! the higher tides. Near the main village the road as­

cended a rather steep bluff, and at the top made a sudden turn toward the town. As Chamberlain approached this point, he yielded more and more to the beauty of the scene. The Bay of Charlesport, the rugged, curving outline of ttye coast beyond, the green islands, the glistening sea, the blue crystalline sky over all—it was a sight to remember.

Not far from the land, at the near end of the harbor, was the Sea Gull, pulling at her mooring. A stone's throw beyond Chamberlain's feet, a Small rocky tongue of land was pro­longed by a stone breakwater, which sheltered the curved beach of the village from the rougher waves. Close up under the bluff on which he was standing, the Waters of the bay churned and foamed against a steep rock wall that shot downward to unknown depths. It was obviously a dangerous place, though the road was unguarded 6> fence or railing. Only a delicate fringe of goldenrod and low juniper bushes veiled the treacherous cliff edge. It was almost Impossible for a traveler, unused to the region, to pass across the dizzy stretch of highway without a shudder­ing glance at the murderous waves below.

On the crest of this cliff, each of the two men paused, one following the other at a little distance. The first man, however, paused merely for a few minutes'-rest after the steep climb. Chambertain, hardened to phys­ical exertions, took the hill easily, but stood for a moment lost in spec­ulative wonder at the scene. He kept a sharp eye on his leader, however, and presently the two men took up their Indian file again toward the vil­lage. ' . . » ' '-

Some distance farther on, the road forked, one spfr leading up over the steep rugged hill, another dropping abruptly to the main village street and the wharves. A third branch rah low athwart the hill and led, finally, to the summer hotel where Chamber-

'lain and the Reyniers had been stay­ing. At this division of the road Chamberlain saw the other man ahead ot him sitting on a stone. He ap­proached him leisurely and assumed an air of business sagacity.

"Good day, sir," said Chamberlain, planting himself solidly before the man on the stone. He was rather large, blond, pale and unkempt in ap­pearance; but nevertheless he carried an air of insolent mockery, it seem­ed to Chamberlain. He glanced dis­gustedly at the Englishman, but did not reply.

"Rather warm day," remarked Chamberlain pleasantly. No answer. The man sat with his head propped on his hands, unmistakably in a bad tem­per.

"Want to buy some land?" inquired Chamberlain. "I'm selling off lots on this hill for summer eottages. Water front, dock privileges, and a guaranty that no one shall build where, it will shut off your view. Terns reasona­ble. T4ke to buyTV

"Non!" snarled the other. Chamberlain paused in his imagina­

tive flight, and took two luscious yel­low pears from his bulging pockets, ' "Have a pear?" he pleasantly of­fered.

The man again looked up, as if tempted, but again ejaculated "Non!"

Chamberlain leisurely took a satis­fying bite.

"I got tyredmyself/' he went on, "tramping over these country roads. But it's the best way lor me to do business. You don't happen to want a good hotel, do you?"

Coarse fare and the discomforts of beggars' lodgings had tfcld on. the Frenchman's, temper, as Chamberlain had surmised. He looked ytp with a show of human interest. Chamberlain went on. ^ • / - /..,/ \

"There^ a ftni hotel, the Hillside, over yonder, on^ a mile or so jiway. Best place in i l l , the region "here­abouts; tip-topping set* there. f%o. Count 8ome-body^^ Ger­

many, .and no end of bigwigs; so of course they have a good cook."

Chamberlain .paused and finished his second pear.; The man on the stone was furtive and uneasy, but masked his disquiet with the Insolent sneering manner that had often served him well. Chamberlain, having once adopt­ed the role of a garrulous traveling salesman, followed it up with seat.

"Of course, a man can get a good meal, for that matter, at the red house, a little way up yonder over the hill. But it wouldn't suit a man like you—a slow, poky place, with no style."

The man on-the stone slowly turn­ed toward Chamberlain, and at last found voice for more than monosylla­bic utterances.

"I was looking for a hotel," he said, in correct English but with a foreign accent, "and I shall be glad to take your advice. The Hillside, you Bay, is in this direction?" and he pointed along the lower road. h

"Yes," heartily assented Chamber* lain, "about two miles through those woods, and you won't make any mis­take going there; it's a very good place."

The man got up from the stone. "And the other inn you spoke of—

where is that?" "The Red House? That's quite a

long piece up over the hill—this way. Straight road; house stands near a church; kept by a country woman named Sallie. But the 'Hillside's the place for you; good style, everything neat and handsome. And fine people!"

"Very well, thanks " cut in the oth er, in his sharp, rasping tones. "I shall go to the Hillside." '

He slid one hand into a pocket, as if to assure himself that he had not been robbed by sleight-of-hand dur ing the interview, and then started on the road leading to the Hillside. Chamberlain said "Good day, sir," without expecting or getting an an­swer, and turned the hill toward the village.

As soon as he had dropped from sight, however, he walked casually into the thick bushes that lined the road, and from this ambush he took a careful survey of the hill behind him, Then he slowly and cautiously made his way back through the underbrush until he was again in sight of the cross roads. Here, concealed behind a tree, he waited patiently some five or ten minutes. At the end of that time, Chamberlain's mild and kindly face lighted up with unholy Joy. He opened his mouth and emitted a sound­less "haw-haw."

For there was his recent companion also returning to the cross roads, tak­ing a discreet look in the direction of the village as he came along. Seeing that the coast was clear, he turned and went rapidly up the road that led over the hill to the old red house.

When Chamberlain saw that the man was well on his way he stepped into the road and solemnly danced three steps of a hornpipe, and the next Instant started on a run toward the village. He got little Simon's horse and buggy, drove into the upper street and picked up the sheriff, and then trotted at a good rattling pace around by the long road toward Ilion.

CHAPTER XX.

Monsieur Chatelard Takes the Wheel. Sallie Kingsbury would have given

up the ghost without more ado, had she known what secular and unminis-terial passions were converging about Parson Thayer's peaceful library. As it was, she had a distinct feeling that life wasn't as simple as it had been heretofore, and that there were puz­zling problems to solve. She was al­most certain that she had caught Mr. Hand using an oath; though when she charged him with it, he had said that he had been talking Spanish to him­self—he always did when he was alone. Sallie didn't exactly know answer to that, but told him tha hoped he would remember thai bhe was a professor. "What's that?" quired Hand.

"It's a Christian in good and rigu lar standing, and it's what you ouj&ht to be," said Sallie.

And now that nice Mr. Chamber lain, whom she had fed in the early morning, had dashed up to tha kitch­en door behind Little Simon's best horse, deposited a man from Charles­port, and then had disappeared. The mat! had also unceremoniously left her kitchen. He might be a minister brought there to officiate at the church on the following Sabbath, Sallie sur­mised; but on second thought she dis­missed the idea. He didn't look like any minister she had ever seen, and was very far Indeed from the Parson PThayer type. = Hercules Thayer's business, includ­ing his ministerial duties, had formed the basis and staple of Sallie's affec­tionate, interest for seventeen years, and it wasn't her nature to give up that interest,, now that the chief actor had -stepped from the stage. So she Speculated and wondered, while she i id more thah her share of the work, i She picked radishes from the garden tor supper, threw white screening over the imposing loaves of bread stift cool* ing on the side table, and was sharp* ening a knife on a whetstone, prepara­tory to carving thin slices from a veal

loaf that jitood near byr.when she was accosted by some ono appearing in the doorway.

"Is this the Red Hous^r < It cool, sharp voice, •bunding even more outlandish than Mr. Bead's- Sallie turned deliberately toward the door and surveyed the ijeweoiper.

"Well, yes; I guess so. But you don't need to scare the daylights outer me, that way."

The stranger entered the kitchen and pulled out a chair from the table.

"Give me something to eat and drink —the best you have, and be quick about it, too."

Sallie paused, carving knife in hand, looking at him with frank curiosity. "Well, I snumi You ain'ratte new minister either, now, are you?"

The stranger made no answer. He had thrown himself into the chair, as if tired. Suddenly he |at up and look­ed around alertly, then, at Sallie, who was returning his gate with interest.

"Where are you from, anyway?" she inquired. "We don't see people like you around these parts very oft­en."

"I dare say," he snarled. "Are you going to get me a m*al, or must I tramp over these confounded hills all day be^ore^i lean ea t r

"Qh, 111 get you up a bite, if that's all you want I never turned anybody away hungry ir<6& this door yet, and we've had many a worse looking tramp than you. I guess Miss Red­mond won't mind."

"Miss Redmond!" The stranger started to his feet, glowering oh Sal­lie. "Look here! Is this place a ho­tel, or isn't it?"

"Well, anybody'*; think it was, the way I've been driven from pillar to post for the last ten days! But you can stay; I'll get you a meal, and a good one, too." . - . .

Bailie's good nature was rewarded by a convulsion of anger on the part of the guest. "Fool! Idiot!" he screamed. "You tric% me In here! You lie to me!"

"Oh, set down, set down I" inter­rupted Sallie. "You don't need to get so het up as all that! I'll get you something to eat. There ain't any ho­tel within five miles of here—and a poor one at that!" Thus protesting and attempting to Soothe, Sallie saw the stranger make a grab for his hat and start for the door, only to find it suddenly shut and locked in his face. Mr. Chamberlain, moreover, was on the inside, facing the foreigner.

"If you will step though thtjiouse and go out the other way/: Mr. Cham­berlain remarked coolly, %t will oblige me. My horse is loose in the yard, .and I'm afraid you'll scare him off. He's shy with strangers."

The two men measured glances. "I thought you travelled afoot when

pursuing your real estate business,1" sneered the stranger. -

"1 do, when It suits my purposes," replied Chamberlain,

"What game are you up to, anyway, in this disgusting country?" Inquired the other.

"Ridding it of rascals. This way. please;" and Chamberlain pointed be­fore him toward the door leading in­to the hall. As the stranger turned, his glance fell on Sallie, still carving her veal loaf. "Idiot!" he said dis­gustedly.

"Well, I haven't been caught yet, anyhow," said Sallie grimly.

Chamberlain's voice interrupted her. "This way,, and then the first door on the right. Make haste, if you please, Monsieur Chatelard." ^

At the name, the stranger turned, standing at bay, but Chamberlain was at his heels. "You see, I know your name. It was supplied me at the reading room. Here-^on the r ight -quickly!"

The hall w&s dim, almost dark,..the only light coming from the open door­way on the right. Whether he wished or no, Monsieur Chatelard was forced to advance Into the range ot the door­way; and once there; he found him­self pushed unceremoniously into the room.

It was a large, cool room; lined with bookcases. Near the middle stood an oblong table covered with green felt and supporting an old brass lamp Four people were in the room, besides the two new-comers, Aleck Van Camp was on a low step-ladder, Just in the act of handing down a book from the top shelf. Near the step-ladder two women were, standing, with their backs tdwafd the dbdr. feoih were In white, bdth' w«*r% tall; totf^ttf had abundant dark hair. One of the French windows leading out on to the porch was open, and Just within the sill stood the man from Charlesport

"Here's a wonderful book—a tore* one—the record of that famous Latin controversy," Aleck was laying, when he became conscious of the entrance of Chamberlain and a stranger.

"Ah, hello, Chamberlain, that you?" he cried. Agatha and Melanie, turn­ing suddenly to greet Chamberlain, simultaneously encountered the gim­let gaze of Chatelard. | t was fixed first on Melanie, then on Agatha, then feturtcd to Melanie with an added increment of rage an* teafflement.

"So!" he sneered, find yon after all, Princess Augusta Sttiihlnle of Krolveta! Consorting With thdsew these swine vw

Melanie looked at him keenly, with

hesitating suspicions. "Ah! Dukev Stephen's cat's paw! I remember you^weil!" But. before the words l r

were fairly put of her .mouth, Agatha^ vptce had :cul i n : - M r . Van Cai that is he! That is he! .The man 6i the Jeanne D'Arc!"

"We thought as much,"v answered Chamberlain. "That's why he is here,"

"We only wanted your confirmation of his identity," said the mm who had been standing by the window, as he r

came forward. "Monsieur Chatelard; you are*tb come with me. I am the sheriff of Charlesport county, and have a warrant for your arrest/'

As the sheriff advanced toward Chatelard, the cornered man turned on him with a sound that was half hiss, • halt an oath. He was like a panther ; standing at bay. Aleck turned toward Melanie.

"It seems that you know this man* Melanie?"

"Yes, I know him—to my sorrow.11

"What do you know of him?" "He is the paid spy of the Duke

Stephen, my cousin. He does all his dirty work." Melanie laughed a bit * nervously as she added, turning to ; Chatelard: "But you are the laaj , man I expected to see here. I sup* pose you are come from my excellent cousin to find me, eh? Is that the case?"

Chatelard's eyes, resting on her, burned with hate. "Yes, your High* , ness. I am the humble bearer ot a message from Duke Stephen to your*, self."

"And that message is—" • . "^command tor your immediate re-;.

turn to Krolv|JzV-Matters of im)por*-tance Wait you there."

"And if I refuse to return?" Chatelard's shoulders went up and

his hands spread out in that Insolent; gesture affected by certain Europeans. Chamberlain stepped forward impa­tiently. >

"Look here, you people," he began, "you told me this chap was a bloomfh' kidnaper, and so I rounded him up— 1 nabbed him. And here you are ex* changin' howdy-do. What's the mean* ing of it all?" s

As he spoke, Chamberlain's eyes rested first on Melanie, then oh Agatha, whom he had not seen before. "By Jove!" he ejaculated.

"Whom did he kidnap?" questioned Melanie.

"Why, me, Miss Reynier," cried Agatha. "He stole my car and drugged me and got me into his yacht' —heaven knows why!" 1

"Kidnaped! You!" cried Melanie. "Just so," agreed Aleck. "And now

I see why—you scoundrel!" He turn­ed upon Chatelard with contemptuous fury. "For once you were caught, eh? These ladles are much alike-*— that is true. So much so that I my* self was taken aback the first time{

I saw Miss Redmond. You thought Miss Redmond was the princess—mas­querading as an opera singer."

"Her Highness has always been ad* mired as a singer!" burst out Chatei lard.

"No doubt! And even you Were de« ceived!" Aleck laughed in derision. "But when you take so serious a step as an abduction, my dear man, be sure you get hold of the right victim."

"She was even singing the very song that used to be a favorite of her High-ness!" remarked Chatelard.

"Your memory^serves you too well." But Chatelard turned scofflngly to­

ward Agatha. "You sang it well* Mademoiselle, very well. And, as this gentleman asserts, you deceived even me. But you are indiscreet to walk unattended in the park."

Agatha, unnerved and weak, had grown pale with fear.

"Don't talk with him, Mr. Van Camp* he is* dangerous. Get him away," shop pleaded.

"True, Miss Redmond. We only waste time. Sheriff—"

Again the sheriff advanced toward Chatelard, and again he was warned off with a hissing oath. At the same moment a shadow fell within the other doorway. As Chatelard's glance rest* ed on the figure standing there, his face gleamed. He pointed an accus­ing forefinger.

"There is the abductor, if any such person 1b present at all," said he. "That is the man who stole the lady's car and ran it to the dock. He is your man, Mister Shbriff, not I."

The accusation came ^ i t h such a tone of conviction on the part of the speaker* that for an instant it confused the mind of every one present. In the pause that followed, Chatelard turned with an Insolent shrug toward Agatha. "This lady—" and every word had a sneer in it—"this lady will tes­tify that I am* right."

Agatha stared with a tape of alarm toward the doorway,, where Hand stood stood silent.

"If that is true, Miss Redmond," be-gan the.sheriff.

"No—no!" cried Agatha. "He had nothing to do with lit9

POWERS.

VICTORS A0OPT AN INDEPEND­ENT POLICY.

Seem to Wish War Prolonged Until Scutari it Captured by Monteri*

egro Nations In a Ollemt.

The progress of Balkan affairs is giving European diplomacy some un­easy moments.

The allies have t a k w * . 4 t ^ t f W independent attitude ar d refuse to ac­cept orders from the powers^ The question is, if It becomes necessary to coerce them, how can that be done.

The allies recognize this dilemma and realize that the concert of Europe Is not as harmonious as a month ago. The present policy of the Balkan states is to debate the.peace terms and continue the war at least until Montenegro has captured Scutari.

The smallest kingdom in Europe continues to defy the six great powers. King Nicholas talks freely to inter­viewers, declaring that he will take and keep the town, which he considers necessary to the prosperity of his kingdom.

The allies have submitted to the powers their formal reply to |he sug­gested basis for peace negotiations with Turkey. f

The reply purports to J>e an accept* ance of the mediation conditions, but the acceptance is subject to reservat­ions which practically repudiate the proposed terms.

To Debate New Constitution Arrangements were completed at

Columbus, Ohio, for a series of joint debates to be delivered from coast to coast next fall'between Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow of Cincinnati, president of Ohio's recent constitutional conven­tion, and former Governor Frank Hanly of Indiana, on the question: "Resolved, th|t the federal consti­tution is outgrown and obsolete and should be amended or altered in its fundamentals, or a new one substitut­ed." Rev. Mr. Bigelow will take the affirmative and former Governor Han­ly the negative Aide of the question.

CHARGE ON T H E COMMUNITY

Care of Those Afflicted With* Tubercu­losis Plainly a Draff on tha

General Wflfart.

Dr. H. L. Barnes, superintendent of the Rhode Island state sanitarium, has recently demonstrated by some interesting studies of patients dis­charged as "apparently cured" from that institution, that a sanatorium is a sound Investment for any state or city. The gross earnings of 170 ex-patients obtained in 1911 amounted to 8102,752, and those of 211 cases in 1912, to 8112,021. By applying the same average earnings to all ex-pa­tients of the sanitarium living in 1911 and 1012, Dr. Barnes concludes that their Income in these two years was $551,000. This sum is more than three times the cost of maintenance ,pf the sanatorium, including interest/^ tour per cent on the original invejithjent and depreciation charges. Dr. Barnes concludes, however, "While institu­tions for the cure of tuberculosis are good investments, there Is good rea­son for thinking that institutions for the isolation of far advanced cases would be still better investments."

BREAKING OUT ON L E G

Hilltop, Kan.—"About two years ago I began to notice a breaking out on my leg. At first it was very small but soon it began to spread until it formed large blotches. The itching was ter­rible and almost constant Many nights I could not sleep at all. After scratching it to relieve the Itching it would burn so dreadfully that I thought I could not stand It. For near­ly a year I tried all kinds of salves and ointment, but found no relief. Some salves seemed to make It worse until there were ugly sores, which would break open and run.

"One day I saw an advertisement of Cuticura Remedies. I got a^ample of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint­ment and began by washing the sores with the Cuticura Soap, then applying the Cuticura Ointment twice a day. I noticed a change and got more Cuti­cura Soap and Ointment and in a few weeks I was cured. It has healed so nicely that no scar remains." (Signed) Mrs. Anna A. Lew, Dec. 17, 1911.
