There has been a report that Gov.
Carr asked DR.. Murphy, of the Nor
canton asylum, to give DR.. Carr a
place there, and DR.. Murphy fatty
refused on the ground that his son
was incompetent and in no way fit
for the position. If anybody who
knows DR.. Carr should be asked if
he is competent to fill the position to
which he has been appointed, we
believe that person would emphati-
cally answer "no."

There is no unkind feeling or animus
behind these lines. We are not per-
sonally or harshly critical. But
some expression Of this kind, it
seems to US, ought to be made in the
interest of safety and decency.
There are all sorts of rumors and re-
ports current-none very tangible
perhaps, but they are in existence.
There has been and cannot be any
approval of the appointment under
existing conditions. If the rumors
and impressions do DR.. Carr an injus-

A famous and picturesque empire, that of Abyssinis, loses its independence with the death of Menelek, King of Shoa. Though not really emperor, Menelek exercised the power of one, and resisted the efforts of the Italians to absorb his realm. Now that he is out ot the way the l3O,OOo squsre miles oi Abyssinis will probably soon pass com. pletely under Italian control.

CHAPTER XT

When Harry Yorke, the police SER
geant, had gone to the stable when Or
dered to do so by his superior officer, he
found that all the horses were lying
down in their stalls, peacefully doing
like so many respectable human beings.
Jamie had said that he heard them
pounding the cobblestones violently, but
as the floor happened to be a mud one
it is only charitable to suppose that the
officer must have forgotten this fact,
and that his imagination must have
been uncommonly active. He waited in
the stable for some little time and
then went back to the room where his
comrades were. According to his in
structions, he told the inspector that the
blizzard had ceased. AS he had expected
the latter gave him some fresh orders.
''Then open the door, - said the hu-
manitarian, "and wake up Townley
and Pierre, and the three of you keep
sharp lookout on the opposite door, SO
that none OF these women can pass out
without you seeing them. Keep pinch
ing the third man so that you will be
able to keep awake,
A fool may have humor which wise
men may laugh over, but the wit of the
cruel and crafty is like nettle, it has
sting for all. The hand that brushes is
the proper one to handle it.
The sergeant reluctantly did as he
was ordered; the three watchers, put
ting some fresh fuel on the fire, began
their weary vigil, and Jamie began to
snore.
All inclination to sleep had been eff
fectually banished from the sergeant's
eyes. How could he sleep with the
thought of that poor girl out upon the
snowbound prairie? At times it was
very noticeable to the other two watch
ers that he betrayed considerable impa-
thence as the night or rather the morn
ing wore on. Sometimes he got up and
silently paced the hut-the officer was
