"And in the present case to what end,
MADAME" l asked, bowling and taking the
chair to which she had motioned me.
For an answer she slowly raised a pair Of
double bowed gold eyeglasses, deliberately
and silently scanning me from head to foot.
"Well!" she broke forth irrelevantly. II
protest, Capt. Lounsbury! You are almost
a gentleman! Were your face but less red
and your figure less gigantic, in proper
costume you would not be amiss. Your leg
is none too delicate, but you have fine
teeth and eyes, and your hair also is ex-
celent. I am quite provoked! Sir Henry
has deceived me, though it is now perhaps
just as we'll that you are MT ill-favored
Are you so hard-hearted, Capt. Lounsbury!
You scarce look kidnaper!
Her reference to kidnapping brought ME
sharply back to the role of Lounsbury,
whose papers had shown kidnapping to have
been one of his accomplishments. Under
the sharp eye of this lady, whom l now
knew to be Clinton's reported light-o'-l love,
it would not do for me to make a slip.
That in some manner she had to do With
my coming secret instructions l instantly
surmsed, but the conjecture on my part
could clear the mystery of the nature of this
interest. Deeming it policy to lefran from
discussing the matter, simply said:
Madam, my leg is not exactly that Of
dancing master, nor has my figure the grace
Of courtier, but they are the gifts Of
God, and have seen service in this broil
against the king. As for the small compli-
ments, I am your debtor"
"Now, really, Capt. Lounsbury, you have
quite a neat gift at retort also" But she
got no further, as at that instant door
concealed by heavy hangings was suddenly
thrown open, letting in burst of noisy
laughter from what might have been dozen
men, the sound of jollty being mingled
with the clinking of glasses and Gathering
of coin. The door then shut, and was evi-
dently securely fastened, as l heard the
turn of key and the shooting of bolt;
the curtains were pushed aside, and there
entered man, who by his uniform alone
I knew TO be the commander in chief of the
British forces in America.
Sir Henry gave me but passing glance
as l rose to my feet. lie stepped forward,
and taking the hand of the lady, who
barely shifted her position to greet him,
bowed low over it, repeatedly kissing th'

Land Office Work,

For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1899, the United States land office To-
Gated in Devils Lake received for en-
tries, proofs, etc., $S7,09S.7s. During
the same time 3,1OS homestead entries,
embracing 100000 acres of land, were
made at this office; also LAOS proofs,
being 26s timber culture proofs, 763
homestead proofs and 46s cash proofs
and eNcesses. This is undoubtedly
more business than has been done by
any other office of similar character
in the United States for the same pc
riod. Most of the land which is now
being filed on is located in Benson,
Pierce and McIIenry counties, while
Rolette and Bottineau counties receive
their share of entries. Many people
from Minnesota and the eastern part
of this state are entering government
land in this district.

Blackleg is causing the death of from
three to five cattle per day on the Vas
san ranch near Medina, small village
west of Jamestown. The cattle live
but short time after becoming af-
fected. The disease is contagious and
1T seems almost impossible to success
fully cope with it. Cattle crossing the
trail are drinking from the same water
lngplace where animals afflicted with
1T have been and are sure to become
diseased. Veterinarian Moore has
been at the Vassan ranch for some
days and has divided the cattle into
groups to prevent the disease spreading
to other ranches. He has vaccinated a
number of the animals and SO far those
treated in this manner have not been
effected in the least. About 600 of the
cattle in the herd affected were brought
from Manitoba some time ago bring
ing the disease with them and the lax
methods of the inspector who failed to
inspect them when brought across the
border is severely criticised.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
