QUIET WORK FOR ALGER.
Supposed Significance of Powell Clayton's
Visit to Arkansas

Visit To AfkansaS.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, March 17.-Gen.
Powell Clayton has been here in consulta-
tion with Republican managers from all
parts of the state. His visit, it is whisp-
cred, is in the interest OF Gen. Alger's
candidacy for President. When Blaine
declined TO let his name be used it was
given out that the delegates to Minneap-
oils would be instructed for Harrison.
Under Clayton's influence, 1t is said,
this programme has been so changed that
while the State convention, which meets
April Z, will cordially indorse Harrison's
administration the delegates will be un-
instructed.
They will cast their vote for Harrison
on the first ballot at Minneapolis, but il
he fails of nomination then they will vote
for Alger or any other candidate who
shows signs of winning.

NO WELSH LAND TENURE.
Mr.. Gladstone Opposed Bill to Establish
II and It Was Rejected.

LONDON, March 17.-In the House OF
Commons yesterday, Thomas Il. Ellis
(Gladstonian) introduced Welsh land
tenure bill. The bill provides that the
government shall appoint a commission
consisting OF three members, TO arrange
reasonable conditions for the tenancy of
farms in Wales, and TO fix fair rents.
Mr.. Gladstone, whose attitude toward
the bill was anxiously awaited, declared
that he would withhold his support from
the measure, although he thought the
statements made were worthy of the at
tention OF the House. His ground for
not supporting the measure was that the
time had not yet arrived for so definite 6
solution of the question. The bill was
rejected by vote of 23i 10 ll3.

innocent man. He was ruined by Pratt
and Weeks. He was himself deceived.
for he was young and inexperienced.
Those scoundrels put him forward as
the head Of gigantic swindle, in which
he had implicit faith. Stanmore was
made to seem to be the very prince of
scoundrels and swindlers, and while he
lost his fortune and his reputation, and
was obliged to leave the country to es-
cape arrest, Pratt and Weeks reaped q
harvest Of ill-gotten gains.
-Stanmore, when he fed from New
York, went to the South African dia-
mond field, where he became fortunate
digger, and soon accumulated q modest
fortune. He then became a dealer in
supplies for the mineS-a speculatOr in
claims and a broker in diamonds. Sue.
cess followed every venture and he is
now very wealthy.
Previous to the time of his acquain-
lance with any of the schemes of Pratt
and Weeks, he was engaged to Marion
Oakburn. When the speculation, of
which he was the figurehead put forward
by Pratt and Weeks, failed, and John
Oakburn, who, by Stanmore's advice,
had invested in the unlucky venture,
lost his money, he denounced Stanmore
in round terms, and forbade his daugh-
ter having anything to do with him in
the future. Her father caused Marion
Oakburn to believe for the time that
Stanmore was guilty, and she would not
see him before he fled, and when he
wrote her from the African diamond field,
as he did, she did not answer his letter
Then, as StanmOre has told me, he
vowed that he would never see her again
until he could place the proofs Of his
honesty and his honor before her.
From having some time later over
heard a conversation between Judith
Kredge and Levi, who were formerly, at
the time Stanmore became involved
with them, in the service of Pratt and
Weeks, Marion learned that she had
wronged Stanmore, and that he had
been himself duped and deceived by the
swindlers. Then Marion wrote to Stan
more, addressing him at the African dia-
mOnd field. This letter he only recently
received, as he had left Africa before it
arrived there, and it was forwarded to
him here"
This was the history Of Stanmore,
given by the chief Of police.

being paid for at low prices. The

The Supply of Whalebone.

"A TACT which Is likely to cause
women immense pain and difficulty is
the failure in the supply of whale
bone. When one considers that
nothing can take it's place or cause a
gown to fit so we'll the outlook is
truly alarming. AS matter of fact
the supply has fallen off just One-half
in the last few years. Until recently
the American market handled $780,
600 pounds annually, now it is barely
200, 900. In the matter of price, in
1912 the best quality of bone in the
raw state sold for % cents per pound,
now the same grade costs 1915.
Adding the profits of manufacturers,
the cost of the finished bone is SO
per pound to-day. The reason for all
this is that the bowhead whales,
which furnish the bone, are moving
further north every year and become
constantly more difficult to capture.
These animals, each of which is
worth about $4,000, have an enor-
nous head, larger than all the rest
of the body. The mouth is furnished
with double row of whalebOne
blades, about 500 in number, varying
from seventeen to three feet in
length. These are used by the
creature to strain its food. 1t is a
very difficult matter to capture a
whale even after it has been har-
pOOned. Last year at whaling
station bombs were shot into 200
whales, but only fifteen or twenty
were captured. The greatest catch
last year was only twenty-one. The
average catch is eight, but many
steamers get only two or three. The
preparation of the bone is not diff
cult 1t is taken in quantities Of
500 pounds and soaked in water till
1T becomes soft enough to work. 1t
is then cut into strips. The bone is
sold by the gross, and gross weighs
about two and half pounds.

gems of great value, and his jewels
are probably the most gorgeous in
Europe. In the Russian scepter is
the famous OrlOff diamond, weighing |
1943 caratS. This stone is rose cut, |
resembling half a pigeons egg. 1t is

CHAPTER XXXI.

1t was suspensetul silence which
had fallen upon the thrilling scene Of
the drama in the room where Marion
had been imprisoned, and where Paxton
had surprised Stanmore, who now con-
fronted him weapon In hand.
All present breathlessly awaited .
renewal of the action which was tran
silently suspended.
The policemen who accompanied the
detective would have rushed upon Stan
more en- masse had the former given
them q word of command. But no such
order Was given. On the contrary, he
gave his auxiliaries signal to fall back.
Marion's dilated eyes were riveted
upon the detectives face, and the ter
ror-stricken expression Of her counter
ance told Of the fear that was in her
heart.
The hunted girls brain was frenzied
with fright; but even in her terror her
beauty was so grand and imperious that
Paxton was the first to speak.
Suddenly extending his hand to STAN
more in frien lily way, he said:
Il know all. The chief Of police has
intrusted me with your secrets, and 1
honor you for your devotion to the
woman you love. Your error was in not
cOnfiding all your secrets to me.
Stanmore returned his revolver to his
pocket, and grasping the detectives
hand with a friendly pressure, he an
Swered:
L was waiting for the day of my vim
dication. In my judgment, the time had
not come for such q revelation. But
tell me, did the chief tell you who I
really am?"
Yes; you are Donald Wayburn,
Marion Oakburn's affianced husband,
answered Paxton.

anxiety on her account, Stanmore called
at the house of the good woman with
whom he had left her. and he was star
tied by receiving the information that
Marion had become delirious after he
had left her. and that q physician who
had been summoned In haste, pro-
nounced the unfortunate girls malady
brain fever.
Stanmore was terribly alarmed, and
he remained in the house until he saw
the physician who was attending Ma
rion, as he came to make q morning
call.
The doctor assured StanmOre that
MariOn's condition was exceedingly pre-
carious, and that he could not decide on
q positive prognosis as to her recovery
as yet.
AS it was thought that his presence
might further excite Marion, Stanmore
refrained from seeing her.
When Paxton visited the Chief Of
Police, to inquire about Stanmore, the
official in question in reply to the other S
interrogatories said:
Il am an old and confidential friend
of Mr.. Stanmore' but under the pres
emit circumstances think it best for him
that should confide his history to you.
You have told me that you have dis
covered that Stanmore is only an as
sumed name. You are right. Donald
Wayburn is my friends real name.
You know that he fled from New
York some years ago, and that he was
accused of defrauding and swindling. I
knew all that. StanmOre has not de.
ceiyed me, rest assured on that point
But tell you now that Stanmore Is an
