bound along the edges with wide braid

which, with bayOnets fixed, are stuck
into the ground to form tentpoles.

CHAPTEN NV.
There are no finer woods In England
than the woods that surround Bramber
Towers. Bramber Ia a glorious estate,
and the woods extend to Lilford. They
form the massive background OF trees
which help to render the old church so
picturesque and artistic.
The Earl Of Arlington, the master OF
the Towers, had hut one fault In the eyes
OF the cOunty-he was too fond OF tray
cling. 1t was no unusual thing for the
Towers to be closed for two or three
years, while the earl. with his wife and
daughter, delighted In fair Continental
cities. 1t was the one drawback to no.

Der.
The countess was quiet, refined wom-
an. One Of her great haracteristics was
her sympathetic manners. 1t was natural
to her to feel intensely the sorrows and
Joys of others. There were two children
the young heir, Lord Bramber, who was
still at Oxford, and Lady Maude Bran
Der, a lovely young girl about two years
older than her brother.
Lady Maude inherited her mothers Pc
culiarly sympathetic nature. She was as
gifted as she was beautiful, and the one
thing In which she excelled was art. She
set out one morning with her sketch book
and pencils. The countess suggested that
she should take maid or footman with
her. Lady Maude laughed.

30 she went alone into the Bramber
Woods. The sky was blue, the sun bright
and warm, the air full Of music and song.
As she entered the woods she fancied
that she heard a faint Ginning of distant
bells.
'"rhey are the old church bells Of Lii
ford" she said to herself; "what II mel

presently"
1t died away as she entered the beauti-
full green glades; the sound could not pen
citrate the thick masses OF foliage.
As she became absorbed In the keen de-
light Of her sketching she forgot her
feathered neighbors. They no longer dis.
turbed her. The wind sounded like an

His pride and self-love gave way; he
sobbed like child.
"Nfy dear old fricnd!' said Eve: and,
a. simply as a child might have done II,
she drew his head upon her arm, and the
first tears he shed over the great sorrow
OF his life fell on her kindly ministering
hands.
From that day a change came over
Felix. lie went home even that same
evening an altered man; he opened MS
heart to the love and sympathy that nate
had showed him. The proud. stern cold
ness fell from him-he took the children
In his arms and kissed the little faces.
He did not suffer lcss-but II was IN
another fashion now. He worked harder
than ever; he said to himself that II II
were possible he would drown his sorrow
In the hardest work he could find. And
yet he did not know the worst; he only
knew that Violet had broken her prom
Use, and declared 1t impossible to marry
him; he had not the faintcst notion that
there was really any wealthy lover at
hand. Still all Lilford--all but himself
knew that Violet was going to marry Sir
Owen; II had been kept quite secret for
some time, but now the day was fixed
the fourteenth Of September-and there
could he no longer any secrecy.
On the morning Of that day Felix went
to the office early, and 1t struck him that
there was an unusual stir In the streets.
A band Of music passed him. He saw
the people, gayly dressed, all going In the
same direction. He went into his office
even the clerk was not there. Without
loss Of time he went to work busily ut
his papers. Ha! Surely he was not mis-
taken ut the chimes Of the old church
bclls--surcly they were Ginning not an
every day chime-surely he heard burst
Of jubilant mclody-a clang Of joyful
sound! He opened the window and the
rich waves Of sound came In upon the
sunlit air.
ut Is like the sound Of wedding bells"
he thought to himself, "but no one has
been married from here"
There was something pathetic In the
handsome, wondering face leaning from
the window, listening to the bells that
were ringing MS oeath hhen.

SHE Is STILL SILENT.
Mrs. schwemberger VIII Not OF
Cannot Reveal Her Assailant.


Cannot Reveal Herr Assailant.
No light was thrown on the Schwena-
berger assault mystery yesterday, and
the authorities are much at sea as on
the day Mrs. SchWenlberger was found
beaten and unconscious in her room at
327 Wabasha street. The victim Of the
savage attack is perfectly rational now
and talks intelligently on every subject
except that of the assault When this
subject is mentioned, however, she pro-
fesses to be unable to remember anything
about who her assailant was or how she
was attacked. The authorities intended
to interview Mrs. Schwemberger g. second
time yesterday, but postponed doing so
until today. The physicians at the hos
pital say there Is no explanation for Mrs.
Schwemberger's lapse of memory, and
the police declare they believe the injured
woman Is keeping something back.
Prof. Mozzara, son Of Mrs. Schwem-
from a trip through the smaller towns,
where he has dancing classes, but was
not allowed to see his mother. The po-
lice refuse to give him permission to talk
to his mother because, they say, they
want the first explanation that Mrs.
emberger gives out Prof. Mozarra
resents the attitude Of the authorities in
keeping his mother prisoner and has
consulted an attorney about damage
suit for false imprisonment.
Mrs. Schwemberger's condition remain
ed pretty much the same yesterday as on
Monday. when the authorities first en-
deavored to get her to tell something
about how she was injured. Her mind is
perfectly clear, and she talks nationally
on all subjects except that of the assault.
To no one has she given any intimation
that she knows who attacked her. When
questioned along this line she simply puts
her hand to her head and says she cannot
remember.
So far as the police have gone in the
case there Is a firm conviction that rob-
berry was not the motive Of the assault,
and the authorities Investigating the mat
ter further assert that Mrs. Schwenber-
ger was attacked by some one not much
her physical superior; perhaps a woman.
This conclusion is reached by reason of
the nature Of the aged woman's injuries.
The bruises and discolorations of the
flesh are only superficial. From the ap-
pearances the police believe she under
went fierce struggle with some one for
whom she was nearly physical match.

World-Nevv York Quotations.
The railroad commissioners do not be-
ieve reports that the grades on Minne-
sofa grain, established by the state In
spection department, are not holding
their own on the seaboard and In the
Eastern markets. They deny the truth
of the report that complaints have been
sent in regarding the weakness of the
grades and affirm that Minnesota grain
at present is holding it's own on the East
ern and European markets better than it
has for three years past
Commissioner P. M. Ringdal was asked
yesterday for a statement regarding the
standards fixed by the grain inspection
department and for Information concern
Ing the reports that they are unsatis-
factory. He expressed the belief that the
standards maintained by the inspection
department were never better, and stated
that Minnesota grain was obtaining a
superior price on foreign markets be-
cause of the reliability of its grade Said
he:
Amy general charges against the grain
inspection department, other than a COM
plant specifying an instance of unsatis-
factory grading, would necessarily come
before the railroad and warehouse COM
mission. Charges giving specific instances
In which mistakes have been made and
the like go before the state board Of grain
appeals. Such q complaint as the one al
legged to have been made against the
wi 0t rfJn ito at Of fly
ing grades would have been made to us,
since we exercise general supervision over
tins department. No such complaint has
ever come to the attention of the COM
mission. We have no official knowledge
Of anything of the kind.
Certain papers in the cities have made
these charges before. They have been
based on transformation at least, and do
not appear to carry weight when the act
ual conditions are investigated. For
three months past we have kept a daily
record in these offices Of the quotations
on grain in Liverpool and London, with
the result that we have found the Mime
sofa grades to have held their own above
all grain from other districts. Duluth
grades have sold better On the foreign
markets and have been sought after. A
premium has been paid for these grades
and they have commanded better price
than the same grades from Manitoba,
which is supposed to be the finest grain
growing country in the world.
81 have in my desk a record Of New
York quotations covering the period from
Jan. to II. I have compared the Du-
luth No. 1 northern with No. red, g.
Southern grain, which has always sold
at the same price. The comparison shows
that Duluth No. northern has sold be-
tween these dates for from two to three
cents higher, and has averaged three
cents higher for the entire period.
