CHAPTER IN.


Having made the arranged signal, |
spent the day as usual, feeling certain
that my new ~friends-or enemies; l
scarcely knew which to call them
would give me further instructions
when it seemed good to them, and
that | need not trouble myself about
opening communications with them q
second time. Yet several days passed,
and | heard nothing either from Raoul
or Won Mitschka. l began to think
that they had changed their minds,
and that the conspirators did not i'll
tend that | should see the Prince.
However, the message came in an
unexpected way.
One afternoon having occasion to
write a note. l put my hand into the
envelope case for an envelope, and
my fingers encountered a thick enve-
lope, closed, and evidently containing
a sheet of note-paper. / drew ii out.
and found that ii was addressed TO
myself.
Who could have placed 1t there? was
my first thought. 1t seemed certain
that II the Government OF the Car had
its spies everywhere. even In the re-
mote village Of Lovna, the Black Ter
ror also had its agents everywhere,
even In the households Of its bitterest
foes.
A glance assured me that the mis-
sive was, as | had expected from the
revolutionary leaders; and without
waiting TO read 1t, l called the house
steward, and asking him whether any
stranger had been allowed to come
into the library that day.

MANITOBA'S CAPACITY,
Enough Wheat to supply Britain All
She Requires from Abroad.

She Isequires from Abroad.
Toronto, Nov. 10.--The World"
comments on the report of tho United
Empire trade league on the capacity OF
Canada as a granary for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area OF forty-seven
million acres. Deduc.iug ten million
for lakes, rivers, town sites and waste
land, 1000, 00o acres are left for farm
cultivation or homes for lie, 900 famil-
les on 800 acres each, and as up TO now
there are only 81 Geo farmers there al
together. that leaves room in n prov
ince for S9,00S more wheat growers.
Surprising, then. we got them there
and each ore OF them out OF his 800
acres grew on an average 100 acres at
20 bushels TO the acre; IL you figure it
up you will fnd it IS quite possible for
Manitoba alone to supply us with all
the wheat we require from abroad. 1t
Is only a question OF money and COM
paratively speaking not money either.
The cost OF one nrst-class b1ttlesLlp
(about f750, 000j would put 5000 fam
lilies onto farms IN the Northwest, al
lowing $3.50 20 each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, ETC., and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres of wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre. means an
extra 10, 200, 900 bushels, for IL that
scheme Is not liked Britain would put
q duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands CT Manitoba there
are the millions OF acres In Assiniboia,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.

HAD TO Rustic FOR FOOD
Great Northern Passengers at
New Glasgow Nearly Starved.
THE TRAIN WAS BLOCKED
This Was Caused by the Washouts-Pas-
sengers Retarded for Five Days.
The Hotels Could Not
Serve Any Meals.
THE TRAIN WAS BLOCKED

r. P. O'Rrien, an old resident of this
city, returned yesterday from his trip
to ireland. Mr. OBrien left Anaconda
on June 20 of last year and went to
his native country to pay visit to his
sister. His trip was very enjoyable
one, and as the weather was very pleas
ant on the two occasions on which he
elated over his journey.
Although Mr.. O'Bren talks very high
~ of his trip across the water, this is
far from being the case with his jour-
ney from st. Paul to this city.
Mr.. O'Brien, in an interview. related
the incidents of his trip as follows:
st Travelled over the Great Northern
and it was the greatest trip ever made.
There were panics among the passen-
gers at New Glasgow, where there was
an awful washout. Three other passen-
ger trains aside from our own were
blocked there, and the women passen-
gers were greatly frightened.
ION Wednesday we only Travelled 60
miles in "a hours and that made us 80
hours late when we reached here. l
had great laugh at New Glasgow, as
there was a passenger train there which
had left st. Paul five days before US.
when our train reached New Glas-
gov myself and several others got off
the train and entered a hotel there so
as to eat a meal, but we were greatly
surprised to learn that we could not get
anything, as they We're all out of food.
We decided to drink beer if we couldn't
eat and this time we We're more sur
prised than ever by being told that it
had all been drunk up.
1T was then decided by the passen-
gers to go to private houses and get
something to eat. There we were told
that the families had hardly enough for
their own supplies. There was really a
food famine in New Glasgow on that
day and there were men on the train
who would have given S. for a square
meal Alger's embalmed beef would
have been all right then. We at, last
reached Havre and we amazed the pop
ulation by the way we made the food
disappear Everything in sight was
eaten up and there may also have been
a food famine in Havre after we had
left"

YOUR BABY is SICK!
The Sheriff Officers Tried to Queer Dave
With Butte Belle.

The boys in the sheriff's office have
the reputation of being bad ones
when it comes to playing jokes, and on
Thursday evening they again added
one more victim to their already large
list.
This time the victim was one of their
own number, Under Sheriff Dave Nor
gan. On Thursday evening they learn
ed that Dave would go to the Lowland
club dance with a Butte belle, and they
could not let such good opportunity
go by without having a little fun.
In the evening they telephoned to the
B., A. & P. and informed the conductor
that Mr.. Morgan would be at the depot
at 11:5O o'clock They asked the con-
ductor if he would notify Mr. Morgan
that his wife was waiting at home for
him, as the baby was sick.
MIR. Morgan and the, young lady ar
rived at the depot at 11:45 o'clock and
the conductor then approached him and
asked:
Are you Mr.. Morgan?"
"That's my NAME answered Dave.
"Well, your wife wants you to go
home right away, as the baby is very
sick"
Dave says that. the young lady end
he laughed at the joke. for he rad
already told her that he was expecting
they would play a joke on him, but
it is nevertheless true that he had to
square himself with the young lady by
accompanying her to Silver Bow.

He Was One of the Pioneers of Deer

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Deer Lodge, April 21.-Uncle Esma
Dashiell, as he was familiarly known
to his friends, died at his home on First
street, this city, at a few minutes past
9 o'clock this (Friday) morning. Mr..
Dashiell had suffered for many months
past with an affection of one of his
eyes, but had gotten well of that when
a complication of stomach troubles set
in from which he died. He was one of
the earliest settlers in Deer Lodge and
had lived here for over so years Mr..
Dashiell first passed through where Deer
Lodge now stands in 1852 or 1858. and
went on to the Bitter Root valley,
where he remained for time. and from
there he went to the Kootenai coun-
try in British Columbia, during the
early gold excitement and remained
in that section until his return here in
1867 or 1868, since which time he has
been a hard working, honorable and
respected resident of this place. Had
he lived deceased would have been 6S
years of age in October next, and was
a native of Baltimore, Md The only
near relative Mr.. Dashiell leaves here
is Joe Johnson, nephew, who tenderly
nursed and cared for his aged uncle
during his last illness. Uncle Esma
was one of the sturdy old-timers whose
ranks are becoming so rapidly thinned,
and his memory will be lovingly cher
ished by many old-time friends.
The funeral will take place Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from st. James
