circumstances L should have obeyed
it unquestioningly. But it is not so
easy to disappear when one is far
from the highways of travel; and
there was second thought potent
enough to make me stay-and suffer.
Put together all the little odds and
ends have written about Mr.. Mac
pherson (but you have doubtless
done this long ago) and draw your
own conclusion. There is fuel enough,
God knows, to keep the shame-fre
burning all through my miserable
life, but this is not of it. Having
said SO much, you will understand
what follows, reading between the
lines if you care to.
Our first meeting-the only one in
which he has had the hardihood to
speak to me-was one evening when
was walking home from the school
house with Mr.. Macpherson. He was
riding past and he recognized me,
wheeling his horse to fling himself
from the saddle and to add another
insult to all that has gone before. Mr..
Macpherson resented it promptly,
like man and gentleman, and he
he struck him! After that, I knew
I had to stay; that 9th .rwise there
would be more misery and perhaps
bloodshed; and however rich his de-
servings, God would require his life
at my hands.
So I have stayed and suffered, not
knowing what day might bring
forth, and drinking the cup of terror
to the dregs. Thus far, Mr.. Macpher-
son has amply justified all my be-
lievings of him. His quarrel with the
land company is quite as bitter as
that of the settlers-the plans of the
company, if carried out, will practic-
ally dispossess him-but he will not
make it personal matter with the
engineer-for my sake, if for no bet
ter reason. So long as he does not
know the shameful facts, I tell my
self there is reason to take courage;
but if he should find out-oh, Pris-
sic! living as you do in the peaceful
quiet of the old New England home
you can't understand. But the men of
these wildernesses, men reared in
homes just like yours, perhaps, be-
come terribly swift to right their
wrongs with the strong hand.
You will say that, so long as
keep my secret, exposure can come
only through the man who will stand
self-confessed villain in the telling;
and this is true. But the dastardly
hardihood of this man is past belief,
and I have begun to fear that the
worst is yet to come. You will re-
call my frequent mention of Jacob
Settlers daughter. From what 1 have
seen, there is reason to fear that
she is in danger of becoming his
latest victim. They are together
great deal, and Mans dislike for me
is growing day by day. What he has
told her, I can only surmise; but her
attitude toward me has lately
changed from frank aversion to
something like contempt. Merciful
heaven! If he should boast to her,
and it should come to Mr.. Macpher-
sons ears-but I must not antici-
pate.
Write me a good long letter, Pris-
sic, dear, and try to comfort me if
you can. Lovingly,
WINIFRED.

president Baldwin, of the Glenliyat
Land Company, to Chief Engi-
neer Wykamp)

Yours of the 10th, stating that you
have made excavations on the site
last chosen for the dam in the upper
canyon is at hand.
Without going into the technicali-
ties, must say that I think YOU are
mistaken. l went over the ground
last year with our consulting engi-
neer, and he is quite sure that dam
at the point where you are working
will be entirely safe. Make such
changes in the plan of construction
as the nature of the substrata de-
mands, and push the work with the
utmost speed. With all due regard
for your opinion, I will say that L
have always found the members of
your profession inclined to err on the
side of permanence at the cost of
celebrity; and the work must be
driven. Results are what we want.
Take another week for the exca-
waiting, and if you do not strike bed
rock, put in concrete and build your
dam. A change to the former loca-
ton, as you suggest, is impossible.
Macpherson will not sell, and he is
man of means and influence, abund-
antly strong enough to fight battle
which would delay us indefinitely.
Moreover, the settlers are threaten
ing, and you must keep the peace at
all hazards. Your destruction of their
fume and ditch was exceedingly ILL
advised, and if it be not too late,
would suggest that these be re-
placed. Yours truly,
JOHN BALDWIN,

One of the interesting features of
Saturday afternoons political festiv-
tiles was the appearance of the Fells-
burg band. This band of youthful
jayhawkers was a little the warmest
thing seen on the streets that day.
Its music was not of the Sousa and
Victor Herbert style, but just plain
old-time melodies aud marches that
seemed to take we'll ind pleased the
crowd immensely.
This city is getting somewhat MOTOR
ious for the number of nuisances that
exist under the noses of the officers
and are not abated. 1t would be a
good idea to try a little vigorous en-
forcement of law IN certain directions.
When crime is so bold that our mask
of pretended virtue is rrudely pulled
aside, and the outside world sees us
as we really are, the officers should
at least restore the curtain.

The symptoms were first noticed last
Friday and by the first of the week
the little one had so little control of
herself that it was thought best to
take her away for treatment at once.
Her case will probably respond to
treatment readily and she will be at
home again in few days. Mr.. Fish
er says the little one has been very
attentive TO her studies but he does
not think she has studied hard
enough to hurt her but that she has
been riding q bicycle to excess and
her trouble probably comes from that
source.

A Conflict over Swiss Cheese.

Henry H. Morgan, United states
Consul at Lucerne, Switzerland, re-
ports to the government
There is a conflict between the
producers and the dealers In SWISS
cheese in Switzerland, causing a sus'
pension of the usual business OF the
season, through which our own deal
ers in this article might profit. Inc
conflict Is caused by the dealers In.
sisting that the producers should
comply with the old-fashioned GUS
tom Of giving as bonus an add
tional per cent Of the purchased
weight. The same difficulty occurred
last year, and American buyers pur-
chased direct from the producers, put
the latter soon gave in and their en-
tire output was Immediately bought
by the Swiss dealers.
This year, the Dealers Association
has agreed to impose a penalty Oh
1000 francs ($193) on any member
of the association who buys cheese
without the bonus of per cent and
in retaliation 500 cheesemakers
have entered into an agreement not
to give more than the weight actually
bought and paid for, in default OF
which they bind themselves to the
payment of fine Of from 1000 to
5000 francs ($193 to $579).
The situation offers an excellent
opportunity for foreign dealers to buy
the finest and most valuable SWISS
product at an exceptionally low price.
Upon reliable authority, l am In
formed that French dealers have al
ready awaited themselves of the open

Process Butter Makers Organize.


About forty manufacturers OF proc
ess butter have organized themselves
into an association under the name OF
the National Association OF Process
Butter Manufacturers. They have
set forth their reason for combining
as "the desire to prevent the inJu-
rious effects of individual competi'
ton" In other words they will pc
in position to fix the price that shall
be paid for the butter that goes into
their factories to be worked over. II
they are paying twelve cents for II
now they will doubtless find eleven
cents all it is worth and little later
may conclude that ten is enough. me
butter makers of the country may as
well settle down to the conclusion
that the price fixed will always be in
favor of the factories and not OF the
country butter maker or OF the corner
grocery keeper that sells it to them.
Al this time about the only way TO
escape from a condition where the
maker of the butter will have moth
ing to say about the making OF tne
price is to learn to make butter SO
good that it will not have to be sold
to the manufacturers of process but

White oleo at Illinois Fair.

Probably it will do little good TO
remark that on the state fair grounds
at Springfield last week white oleo-
margarine was being used freely by
the restaurants. The writer saw nun
dreds eating it, but heard no COM
plant 1t was evidently looked upon
as quite the proper thing, when
cheap meal was being set up to the
visitors. The people of course had
the right to refuse to eat the oleo,
or even to eat at the restaurants
handling the oleo, but in that case
they would simply have had to go
without their dinners, on some OF the
days when the attendance was the
largest. The use of white oleo at the
time and place mentioned is but one
straw pointing to the probability that
white oleo is to become popular. The
future verdict is going to be in this
order of approval: Good butter,
oleo, poor butter. The white oleo Is
going to outclass the poor butter. The
maker of poor butter is to find him
self at the foot of the line as to repu
tation and profits.-Farmers' Review

BIBLICAL TALE OF POWER.
"Jezebel," by Miss Lafayette Nc
Laws, Has Won Favor.

Laws, Has Won Favor.
Miss Lafayette McLaw's when
the Land Was Young" instantly
sprang into popular favor, and for
a first book was a pronounced sue
cess. The promise in her first book
has been more than realized in "Jez-
ebel," work of singular power and
insight. 1t is Biblical tale of the
days when Omri and Ahab were
kings of Israel and Elijah was a
prophet of Jehovah. Ahab, the Is
raelite. takes to wife Jezebel, the
worshiper of Baal. When Ahab
comes to the throne and Jezebel sets
up the worship of Baal, the prophets
and believers of Israel are incensed
against the queen, and Jezebel be-
gins a fierce persecution of her ene-
mics. This contest is the chief mo-
tive of the story.
Miss McLaws has endeavored to
throw new light upon the character
of Jezebel, and, while she does not
depart from the Biblical account, she
surely presents this strong-willed,
beautiful queen in a somewhat novel
and striking manner. We get
glimpses of Jezebel the woman as
well as Jezebel the queen, and it is
as a woman with warm passions and
Jealous instincts that Jezebel is
most and best portrayed.
The book is replete with dramatic
situations, the action is rapid and
stirring. and the denoument is orig
inal and startling. Altogether it is
one of the books of the day and a
distinct contribution to the novel
literature of Biblical days.

German Butter Trade.

It is evident that Germany is in the
future to be a good market for butter,
and that she will soon cease to be
a competitor in the sale of butter in
the English market. She has in the
past been supplying herself and
sending some butter abroad. But
this exported butter has decreased
year by year till now she is export
ing little and importing a good deal.
Her butter exporters claim that they
find the Canadians and Australians
too strong to compete with in the
English market; but the truth Of the
matter seems to be that the increas-
ing demand at home has raised the
level of German prices till it no longer
pays to send butter out Of the coun-
try.

siaoest Mixer Not Always Best.

Biggest Mixer Not Always Best.
A cow produces 400 pounds butter
in one year and she consumes $50
worth of feed; estimating the butter
to be worth 20 cents per pound, this
gives you a gross income of $50;
minus the $50 cost of feed, and we
have a net profit of $50. Supposing
another COW produces 300 pounds OF
butter and only consumes $25 worth
of feed. We have a gross income OF
$50 OF net profit of SS5, which is
S. more than the cow which produced
100 pounds more butter, which, with
a herd of 20 or 80 cows, would
amount to quite an item. These are
figures which are duplicated every
year on a number Of dairy farms. l
think that the stockmen throughout
the country are realizing more fully
each year the Importance of yearly
record, and the insignificance OF
weekly record.-J. A. banks.

CHAPTER XII.
The Dog Courier.

Paul Miller drew his rifle to his
shoulder and let drive two or three
shots in quick succession, sending
their late captors flying heller SHELTER
to the rear of the cavern. Whether
any of them were wounded by his
bullets or not he did not stop to
learn. He then seized the rifles,
blankets and caps and the two men
FASTENED away from the cavern, TAX
ing the precaution to secure not only
the rifles, but three pistols and all the
belts of cartridges they could find.
Both of them had filled their capa-
cious pockets with dried moose meat
until they stuck out like stuffed tur'
keys.
They broke two of the rifles because
they could not carry them and
strapped the others on their backs.
Long they travelled in a western di'
rection, guided by the stars. They
had given up all hope of finding their
Metlakahlan friends, who no doubt
supposing them lost, had returned to
their home on the island. After wan
dering three or four hours into the
forest and being completely ex-
hausted, the two fugitives rolled
themselves in their blankets and
slept. They dared not build a fire,
for it might attract the attention of
their pursuers.
When day dawned they made
- @LA vi cd
they had brought with them and pre-
pared to resume their journey. They
discovered that they were gradually
ascending mountain side. On all
sides of them were forests of scraggy
spruce, the trees seldom being over
five or six inches in diameter, and
ferns and other forms of plant life
were occasionally noted.
At last they came to a great cleft
between gigantic snow-robed noun
tains.
The first night after they began
their ascent they camped on the
mountain side near spring and
spread their blankets under the lee of
a large bowlder.
Hope had been revived in the breast
of Paul Miller, but his companion, who
had been deceived and cheated so
often by outrageous fortune, evinced
little or none of his spirits.
1--WE are a long way from civiliza-
ton yet" he said to one of Paul's
remarks about their being safe. so
often, my friend, have | had my hopes
raised only to be blighted that | al
low myself to believe nothing good
can come to me. A terrible fate
seems to have taken possession OF my
being-I seem doomed" The old gray
head was bent on his hands, and he
was silent. while darkness came over
the scene.
The next days travel over this I'M
known region was but repetition of
the experiences of the day before.
Higher they climbed, up, up and up,
approaching on the mountain side the
line of eternal snow. A few hundred
yards more of climbing brought them
to the summit of the divide, where
there was pile Of stones which
seemed to have been placed there by
human hands. No life of any kind
was visible, unless that white speck
on the distant ledge be a dog or a
goat.
