In token Of their regret for the injury
he has suffered, they entreat him to &C
cept his old seat in the cabinet, while in
acknowledgment of his past services to
the country, they offer him The Blue Rib
bon Of the Garter. And who brought
all to pass? You, 1. am sure. Mr.. Ar
den. though you do not say so."
And now, indeed, sweet Viva presses
Edgar'S hand as well a. my lady, and
gives him a wonderful fash from eyes
glittering with proud tears; but though
my Lord Inchcape is mute while he
wrings his young kinsman's hand his
eye speaks language which Edgar
understands we'll; and no one Is so radi-
ant as he.
They move upward; Of all the hover
ing attendants Kenmore alone~is per
mitted place near the enchanted group;
and Edgar Is forced to explain in spite
of his gracious modesty.
Yes, il was through his entresties that
the dead mans kinsman, Archerfeld,
searched his papers for anything bear
ing upon LORD Inchcape; and when the
precious Information was discovered in
AccringtOn's diary of the year in Ques-
ton. together with the whole romance
of his hopeless passion for In hcape's
exquisite American bride. it was only
Edgar's wearied opportunities which
prevented the fiery cd sea-dog from
dashing the whole black story into the
heart of his own FIRE, to preserve Ac-
crington's reputation.
How Edward prayed him. hectored
him. threatened him: how he appealed
to his sense of Justice. and all in vain;
how he began about the unhappy wife
AID the seQuestered daughter, and sud-
denly found himself ON the AdmiraPs
soft side. and the battle won; of all this
he said little at the tina for his thoughts

wrung the honest heart Of the old sea-
dog for many day.
Hush! there may have been one other
being who could weep for lost Richard
Accrington-one who loved and betrayed
him and who had suffered deeply from
his vengeance, for death blots out many
black records, and q woman's love lasts
forever.
Yet II she wept it must have been in
shamed secrecy. for who should ioathe
his memory more than did Mrs. Della
mere?
My lords secretary. Mr.. Sircombe, did
not long outlive his disgrace.
When convinced that he was not to be
permitted to remain near his offended
patron or his family, he vanished out of
their ken so suddenly and so completely
that he left no trace behind.
But for months after Ulva's restoration
to society, when the family were in Lon
don preparing for her marriage, any one
at all interested in the old and the sad
might have observed certain forlorn
figure wrapped in Disgusting cloak.
which seemed to haunt the steps Of the
beautiful and brilliant creature when
ever she condescended to walk; which
waited hours in the harsh spring winds
at the rail to see her pass by among the
other great people who circled round the
Ladies' Mile; and grew more and more
fOr.orn as time went on; more old look
ing, more TREMENDOUSLY helpless; until he
only came once q week to sit on an OBJ
scure bench and gaze afar On the lovely
face; then once in month; then one last
time-the Test of all. for the beautiful
lady CHANGED to alight from her own car
riage to walk little way with her lover
under the royal oaks, and coming nearer
slowly, the burning eyes Of her devotee
had time to feed upon her noble form
and her adorable face-even to gather
every radiant glance she CHANGED TO
look his way, and found herself face to
face with John Sircombe.
No need to turn away in shuddering
scOrn, sweet Viva; he will never harm
your lover more!
For when she bent over him, struck by
an unutterable something in his face,
the mans heart was broken-all his life
had gone forth in that feeding gaze-he
was dead.
His shame had driven him forth, but
his grief had killed him.
The Three GraceS are once more uni
ted, Alice, Laura and EngelOnde: but
the fatal guest will never again intrude
upon their happiness, to draw down upon
their lives the curse of that passion
which is cruel as the grave--jealousy.

STOCK AND FARM.

Tonganoxie Mirror: A horse buyer
purchased a car load of fine horses from
Il. S. Robertson last week, which he
shipped to Richmond, Ind.
La Crosse Clarion: What few farm
ers there are that have their ''all in all''
| wheat stored in their granaries say
they intend to hold on to it with bull
dog grip until another crop is raised if
they cannot get fair price.
Edna Independent: W. H. Gilbert
has shipped car load of horses to
Memphis, Tenn. Mr.. Gilbert will, in
short time, import another lot Of horses
from Montana in their wild state and
break and train them for the market.
Hazleton Express: DR.. L. d. Shilling,
whose farm is only short distance
southwest Of town, had the last of his
wheat threshed about the middle of JAN
uary. His 103 acres Welded 1910 bush
els, a little over twenty eight bushels
per acre.
Garden City Imprint: S. B. Fuller
informs us that his crop of flax seed
amounted to 1923 bushels, and that most
of it will be disposed of to farmers in
the county for seed. This would give
us crop of several hundred acres. Mr..
Fuller claims this profitable crop on
sod.
Scottsville News: Every east bound
train carries from fifteen to twenty car
loads Of hogs, cattle, corn, wheat, etc,
to the eastern markets. To a person
who, is unacquainted with the wonderful
resources of Kansas, it would seem that
this ceaseless stream of our products
rolling out of the state through the
markets of Kansas City and Chicago,
would in few months exhaust the sur
plus supply of the state; but such is
not the case. There are numbers of
farmers who have in the crib from 500
to 1000 bushels of corn, and others who
are feeding from $50 to 500 head OF
cattle to be placed upon the market in
the future.

EMPRESS AND MOTHER AS
WELL,

In Spite Of Royal Pageants She Found
Time to Play with Her Children.
The recent visit of the German
Empress and her boys to Felixtowe
was evidently an extremely pleasant
one. A correspondent writes to a
London paper;
The five little Princes of Felixtowe
won all hearts by their unaffected
boyish manners, but, now that they
are gone, no one speaks Of them with
greater affection than the dOnkey-boy
"JOe," who, every afternoon, proudly
ran behind his three fleetest donkeys,
each mounted by a little lad in a
sailor suit. The Crown Prince par
ticularly begged that his donkey
should be a kicker, and it was pretty
sight to see the dear little fellows gal
Looping along the sands and taking the
wooden breakwaters at full speed. AS
an instance Of their kindness of heart
l may tell you. that, on the occasion
Of the birthday to which you referred
in your paragraph, seeing "JOe" pass
their windows they rushed out with
plateful of birthday cake. which they
insisted on his taking away. ''ToO
rich for me-" said Joe afterwards. Il
could only eat little bit of it," An
other day, when riding, the Crown
Prince, trying to urge his donkey to
a faster gallop, caught "JOe" good
hit across his forehead. He was so
distressed at having hurt him that he
was reduced to tears, and it was some
time before he could be comforted, re-
peatedly begging Joe to forgive him.
They wanted him to go back to Ger
many with them, but this Joe refused
to do, and if you ask him the reason
he says he does not like going so far
from home"
The little fellows bathed whenever
it was fine, and swan we'll. One
could not help a feeling of aStOnish-
ment to see the way they were al
lowed to bathe-without any ropes
and no one in the water with them.
One day as the donkey boy was lean
ing against their gate, the policeman
tried to push him away. At that
moment the Empress happened to
come up, and, noticing this, she held
up her hand and said to the policeman
in her pretty English: "You leave the
poor boy alone!" At another time
Joe was on the beach, and to his sur
prise the Empress went up and shook
hands with him. He says: Il never
felt so ashamed in my life! Why, be-
fore every One-and there must have
been over 200 people there. didn't
know which way to look!" 1t was
pretty to see the Empress sitting on
the beach surrounded by her five boys.
They seemed devoted to their mother.

Kansas City, Mo-, Journal: One who
looks over the Kansas papers cannot fail
to notice the return of better days..
The papers are filed with news items
about Improvements. Here is town in
which new business block is being put
up, the first perhaps in years; there is
another in which water works are being
talked of, and another where they are
putting in electric lights. Ottawa is
even adding to her street car mileage.
Wichita is at her old girlish trick Of kid
mapping ''institutions," and Hutchinson
is running moro scare heads in her pa
pers than she has for four years. The
papers themselves are looking up, and
the Fort Scott Monitor has been regen-
Grated and will come out in a week or
ten days with morning dispatches. A
comparison of the Kansas of today
with the Kansas Of year ago, would
read so much like patent medicine tes-
timonial that the people wouldn't believe
it. Yet it would be gloriously true.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Oswego Independent: A new church
will be built in Elm City, the necessary
funds having been raised. Rock is now
being hauled for the foundation. The
church will be open for all denomina-
tions, when not in use by the Christians.
Turon Headlight: Rev. Phillips, d.
D., preached the dedication sermon at
the new NJ. E. church. A large audi
ence was present and heartily enjoyed
the eloquent sermon. After the sermon
a request was made for donations suffi-
cient to pay of the indebtedness on the
church. Within fifteen minutes $3.50
was subscribed, to be paid within sixty
days. This will more than pay all in
debtedness. The church, We understand,
has cost about 81, 500.

A wild Ducks For..s oaeht.

W. Prentis, of Rainham, England,
describes an interesting case Of wild
ducks forethought. A moving ma
chine was set to work round the out
side of a field of lucerne bordering a
marsh, diminishing the circle each
time round the field, leaving about
two acres in the center. A wild duck
was seen by the shepherd to fly from
the piece of lucerne that was left
with something in her beak, and,
happening to fly near him, she
dropped a three-parts incubated egg.
She was again observed by the shep-
herd, and also by the sheep-shearer,
carrying another egg in her beak, this
time over the marsh wall toward the
saltings; and again she was seen for
the third time to carry an egg in her
beak In the same direction. Next day,
when the field was finished by the
removal of the last piece Of lucerne,
the wild ducks nest, from which the
eggs had been removed, was discOv-
cred.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Horton Commercial: Three new mo-
gul engines have arrived at the Horton
shops, direct from the Brooks Locomo-
tive works. They were numbers SIG,
S17 and S1S. They are being put in
running order here and will be sent out
on the western divisions. They are
similar in pattern to the new one that

The forthcoming report of the state

the following:
There are in Kansas at present S,9O1.-

places Kansas third among the states,

last his family knew Of him. He was a
sort of recluse, and no one in Detroit
knew anything of his affairs or Of any
relatives. Curiously enough, however,
the probate Judge into whose hands the
property fell for administration, had met
Tom Costello of this place out in Colo
RADIO last year, and surmising that there
might possibly be some connection,
wrote to him on the subject. All the
necessary proofs of fraternity were soon
furnished, and Tom Costello gets twenty
thousand dollars in cash and fine bust
ness property in Detroit.
Topeka Capital: Correspondence is
being carried on between E. B. Merriam
and his brother-in-law, E. K. Burnham,
Of Newark, n Y. which is likely to re-
suit in the establishment Of canning
factory here with capital Of s1OO, 900.
Mr.. Burnham is at the head of the
Wayne County Preserving company,
which has been established for forty
years in New York state and does large
business, employing no less than three
hundred hands. The demand for their
wares is greater than they can supply,
and Mr.. Durham therefore proposes to
establish joint institution in the west
and greatly favors Topeka. The chief
articles canned by them are corn and
tomatoes, both of which Kansas espe-
cially produces to perfection. He has
800, 900 to invest in such an enterprise,
and will ask no bonuses or favors of the
city or citizens. He proposes to make
the mandatory equally as large as that
in Newark, which will employ three
hundred men and women. Mr.. Burn
