81 had not heard it from you" he
said. But let us put it out of our
minds What can I do for you? Is
there anything you need? We will

Brenda would get me anything in

Brenda. what do want?'

replied Brenda. "As to Mr. Aiden's

myself. refuses tUhang him."

Alden. 81 shall submit some pictures
to it with confidence"
Thus the talk drifted from topics too
exciting. and some minutes were spent
pleasantly and conventionally enough.
Then. as Alden was about to take his
leave, Elsie suddenly began to weep
very bitterly and without apparent
cause. for it was a parting for n few
hours. To Brenda afterward she said

sponges.

Sponges grow in odd, fantastic
shapes. Some of them have an over
growth resembling huge warts. There
are some suggesting hands, hats and
figures OF idols. These are curioslties
and not marketable for practical use.
In trimming them into shape many
small sponges are made which are
used for ahildren's states, for black
ing shoes and In making paper. The
uses vary according to size.
One of the largest sponges known
Is In New York city. 1t Is fan shape
and some three feet In diameter. For
practical use 1t Is worthless, but as an
exhibit IL is valued nt 500.
The best sponges are imported from
the Mediterranean, although Florida
produces very fine varieties. These
vary in price from cent to $40
apiece, although occasionally fine
specimens bring 500 a pound. Tho
best Of these are used in surgical op-
erations.
Other sponges are the mandruka
bait. the elephant ear. velvet, grass
and sleeps wool. which is best for
washing. The cheap sponges are used
In washing carriages and by painters.

DEMAND FOR PROPERTY.

There is an active demand for prop
erty in the city. Yesterday two inn
sales were made, whereby
Alexander Hughes purchased the Quin-
Ian building and the Eisenberg build
ing, both in the block between Fourth
and Fifth streets on Main. Both are
good business locations. The Eisen-
berg building has a plate glass front
and it is understood other improve
ments will be made. The Quinlan
building will probably be remodeled, a
plate glass front put in, and the build
ing prepared as a store room.
Residence property is also finding
ready sales and many desirable resi-
dence lots are being bought up. The
city is badly in need of a number OF
small cottages for rent as families COM
ing to the city cannot find residences.

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN,
EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO MAKE

|
IT SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE
Fargo Forum: The republican cam
paign in North Dakota this fall will be
a short and sharp one. Efforts will
be made to have it ~inaugurated by
President Roosevelt.
This was decided on at the initial
meeting of the state republican CEN
trail committee at the Metropole today.
Nearly every member of rhe commit
tee was present and the session was an
enthusiastic one. The members set
forth the conditions in their respective
districts and the showing was encour-
aging. The indications are that Ne
republicans have made gains every
where and the only question this fall
will be to get voters to the polls.
On account Of the great rush Of work
in harvesting and threshing the crop
the general sentiment vored a. short
campaign. Efforts to get people to
attend a political meeting for the next
month Will be futile. ~
1t was thought that the last of Sep
TENDER would be a good time to start
the fun and efforts will be made to
have President Roosevelt extend his
trip to the twin cities SO he can put in
"a day in the Red River valley making
speeches at Grand Forks, Hillsboro
and Fargo. 1t is understood the pres
ident has one open date which may be
secured.
If he will consent to come it will
make a fitting Inauguration Of the cam
paign and inject more enthusiasm into
the work than could possible be done
otherwise.
On account of the difficulty in secur-
ing outside speakers it is not probable
that a large number will be heard in
the state. Some leading orators will
appear here in October s
1t was decided to open the state head
quarters in Fargo at once and it is
probable that the George D. Brown
building on Broadway can be obtained.
Chairman Hanna, General Secretary
Jewell and Executive Secretary Hamil-
ton will all take an active part in the
work and everything will soon be going
along smoothly.
The trouble with the two factions in
Benson county and the legislative muss
in Pierce and McHenry were fully
aired, but it was decided to leave this
to the executive committee and efforts
will be made to harmonic the condi-
lions with a view to a compromise.
Many of the candidates on the state
ticket We're present and all reported en-
couraging indications with promises OF
support from unexpected sources.
Congressman Spalding conferred
with the committee. Congressman
Marshall was out west on the delayed
train and neither Senator Hansbrough
nor McCumber were able to attend this
meeting. All Of the gentlemen will
take an active part in the campaign
when the fireworks begin.
! The new executive committee is
made up of the following we'll known
gentlemen from the different judicial
districts:
First-William Bulge, Grand Forks
j Second-Geo. H. Stevens. Towner.
J Third. E. Paulson, Hillsboro.
: Fourth-R. S.. Adams, Lisbon.
5 Fifth-John D. Black, Valley. City.
. Sixth-W. C. Gilbreath, Mandan.

CHAPTER VIII.
Tous Sauvages.

Had nature indeed intended Law for the
wild life of the trail and had he indeed
spent years rather than months among
these unusual scenes. he could hardly have
been better fitted for the part. Hardy Of
limb. keen of eye, tireless of foot. with a
hand which any weapon fitted his success
Is hunter made his companions willing
enough to assign TO him the chase Of the
bison or the stag; so that he became not
only patron but provider for the camp.
Some weeks after the departure of Du
Mesne. Law was returning from the hunt
some miles below the station. His tall and
powerful figure. hardened by continued out
door exercise. was scarce bowed by the
weight Of the wild buck which he bore
across his shoulders. His eye, accustomed

yoyageur's life. glanced keenly about TAX

CHAPTER K.
By the Hit Of the Sword.

Law passed on out at the gate Of the
stockade and down to the bivouac where
Pembroke and his men had spent the night.
Now, Sir Arthur" said he to the latter,
when he had found him, come. I am ready
to talk with you. Let US go apart
Pembroke Joined him, and the two walked
slowly away toward the enclrcling wood
turned upon him at length squarely.
Sir Arthur" said he, Il think you would
tell me something concerned with the Lady
Catharine Knollys. Do you bring any mes
sage from herr"
The face Of Pembroke famed scarlet with
sudden wrath. "Message!' said he. Mes
sage from Lady Catharine Knollys TO you?
By God! sir, her only message could be her
hope that she might never hear your name
again.
You have still your temper, Sir Arthur,
and you speak harsh enough"
Harsh or not rejoined Pembroke, Il
scarce can endure her name upon your lips
You, who secuted her, who left her, who
took up with the lewdest woman III all
Great Britain, as 1t now appears-you who
would consort with this creature"
IN this matter" said John Lay, simply
you are not my prisoner, and 1 beg you to
speak frankly. 1t shall be man and man
between u.s."
How you could have stopped to such
baseness is what mortal man can never IN
derstand." resumed Sir Arthur. bitterly
"Good God! to abandon woman like that
so heartlessly-

upon our valley, and will delay over night.
It seemed well you should be advised"
Mary Connynge, gray and pale, haggard
and Mortified, dreading all things and know
ing nothing, found no manner Of reply.
Without word she turned and fed back
into the cabin.
Sir Arthur once more looked about him.
Motionng to the others of the party to re-
main outside the gate, Law led him within
the stockade. On one hand stood Pierre
Noir, tall, silent, impressive as a savage,
leaning upon his gun and fixing on the red
coat Of the English uniform an eye none too
friendly. Jean Breboeuf, his piece half
ready and his voluble tongue half on the
point of breaking over restraint, Law quiet
ed with a gesture Back of these, ranged

pons well in hand stood numbers Of the

But yet-why?"
LAS well this as any, where one leaves an
old life and begins a new" said Law. "'TiS
as good a place as any If one would leave
all behind, and If he would forget"
And this-that is to say-madam?
Sir Arthur stumbled in his speech. John
Law looked him straight in the eye, slow,
sad smile upon his face.

CHAPTER TX.
The Dream.

That night John Law dreamed as he
slept, and it was in some form the same
haunting and familiar dream. In his vision
he saw not the low roof nor the rude walls
about him. To his mind there appeared a
little dingy room, smaller than this in
which he lay, with walls Of stone, with door
of iron grating and not of rough-hewn
slabs He the door of the prison cell
swing open; saw near it the figure Of a
noble young girl, with large and frightened
eyes and lips half tremulous. To this vision
he outstretched his hands. He was almost
conscious Of uttering some word supplicat-
ingly almost conscious Of uttering name.
Perhaps he slept on. We little know the
ways Of the land Of dreams. 1t might have
been half an instant or half an hour later
that he suddenly awoke, finding his hand
clapped close against his side, where sud
denly there had come sharp and burning
pain. His own hand struck another. He
saw something cleaning in the light of the
Pickering fire which still survived upon the
hearth. The dim rays lit up two green,
glowing, venomous balls, the eyes Of the
woman whom he found bending above him.
He reached out his hand in the instinct of
safety. This which glittered in the freight
was the hlade Of knife and it was in the
hand of Mary Connynge!
In a moment Law was master of himself
"Give 1t to me. madam, If you please he
said, quietly, and took the knife from fin
gers which loosened under his grasp. There
was no further word spoken. He tossed the
hHlle lIlIO u CRACK VI the UuHh< Uty oiiQ HILL
He lay with his right arm doubled under
his head. looking up steadily into the low
ceiling, upon which the fire made ragged
masses Of shadows. His left arm, round,
full and muscular, lay across the figure Of
the woman whom he had forced down upon
the couch beside him. He could feel her
bosom rise and pant in sheer sobs Of anger.
Once he felt the wrthing Of the body be-
meath his arm, but he simply frightened his
grasp and spoke no word.
1t was not far from morning. In time the
gray dawn came creeping in at the window,
until at length the chinks between the logs
in the little square-cut window and the i'll
fitting door were flooded with sea of sun
light. As. this light grew stronger Law
slowly turned and looked at the face be-
side him. Out of the tangle Of dark hair
there blazed still two eyes, eyes which
looked steadily up at the ceiling, refusing
to turn either to the right or to the left.
He calmly pulled closer to him, so that 1t
might not stain the garments of the woman
beside him, the blood-soaked shirt whose
looseness and lack OF definition had per-
haps saved MIN from fatal blow. He paid
no attention to his wound. which he knew
