was a powerful man, and rushed for
ward, but stopped when he saw De
ClermOnts rapier in his hand and be-
gan to tug at his fathom of a sword.
His men, however, offered no assist
ance to him, .contenting themselves
with breaking into loud laughter As
for De Clermont, he was as cool and
self possessed as if he were at q court
function.

We will go elsewhere. At your serv-

that had a sort of faded grace about it,
he staggered off, followed by his men,
who took his lead with surprising alac
rity. The people in the inn and our
servants raised cheer and were for
going after them, doubtless to admin
lister the stoning, but De Clermont put
a stop to this, saying in a peremptory
tone: "Let them go. l will see that
they are dealt with"
AS may be imagined, we were in no
mood for much supper after this. My
knees felt very weak under me, and

modest answer with his eyes fixed on

would have retired at once, but De
Clermont pressed us to stay, and ma

So we fingered yet a little longer and
found our nerves come back to us.

but at the ford of the Gartempe there
at last came good news that brought
the glad tears to madame's eyes and
the color once more to her cheeks, for
here a courier met us, riding with
red spur, to say that the vicomte was
out of danger and striding hour by
hour toward recovery. The courier
further said, in answer to our ques-
tons, that the messenger whom Nine.
de TermeS had sent on in advance to
announce her coming had never arriv-
ed, and he himself was more than sur
prised at meeting US, believing madame
to be yet at Paris. No doubt the poor
man who had been sent on in advance
had met with i'll, and we thanked God
for the lucky chance that had put us
in the way of the vicomtes messen-
ger and also that it was not with us as
with our man, for he had doubtless
been killed, and indeed he was never
seen again. Back we sent the courier
with a spare horse to announce our
speedy coming, and it was gay and
joyous party that splashed through the
sparkling waters of the Gartempe
Even l for the moment forgot every
thing with the glad tidings that had
come like the lark's song in the morn
ing to cheer my friends heart, and for
a brief space forgot De Lorgnac and
my bonds and was once more Denise
de Mieux, as needless and light hearted
as youth, high spirits and health could
make me.
1t was decided to push on to Amba-
FAC at any cost by that evening. The
news we had heard seemed to tighten
even the loads of the pack animals,
and we soon left the silver thread Of
the river behind us and entered the
outskirts Of the Viennois. AS for me,
do not know how it was, but / was, as
l have said, in the widest of spirits,

himself to her with a delicacy for
which l was grateful, for felt I want
ed all my thoughts for myself.
At Ambazac, which we reached after
a little, we found good accommodations
at large inn, although the town was
full, it being the fete of St Etienna de
Muret, and after taking some light re-
freshments madame and | retired to
our apartments to rest until the supper
hour, for we were wearied. We supped
in the common hall, but at a small
table, little apart from the others, and
De Clermont, who sat next to me, gave
madame an interesting account of the
defense of Ambazac made by her hus-
band against the Prince of Condo. 1t
was while he was detailing the incl
dents of this adventure that, with q

ing, La Coquille and his men entered
the dining room and began to shout
for food and drink Most of the
people in the inn, being common coun-
try folk and unarmed, made way for
the crew with haste, and even an ex-
preston of alarm appeared on La
lande's face, for our own servants were
but six in number, including the bag
gage drivers and madame's maid and
my own, who of course were useless,
and two of our manservants were at
the moment attending to the horses; SO
that we We're at a decided disadvan-
tage, and La Coquille was not slow to
perceive this.

ward us, there are my popinjay and his

His men crowded round our servants
with rough joking, and he, picking up
a stool, placed it at our table and held
out an immense greasy paw to me.
"Shake hands, ma mignonne! Never
mind the old lady and the silk mercer
There is no lover like brave soldier"
Madame was white with anger. l
had sprung to my feet, meditating
flight, and the villains followers raised

Then De Clermont's hand was on the
mans neck, and with a swing of his
arm he sent him staggering back al
most across the room. He recovered

go well in advance of me and, stopping
for moment, dismounted near a spring
from which little brook, hedged in on
each side with ferns, babbled noisily
off along the hillside. To me, who aft
er all, loved the fresh, sweet country,
the scene was enchanting. The road
wound half way up the side of the
spur, and the rough hillside, with it's
beech forests, among the leaves Of
which twined the enchanters night

into a wild moorland covered with pur-
pie heather and golden broom. The
sheer rock above me was gay, with
pink mallow, and the crimson of the
cranesbill flashed here and there, while
the swish Of the bracken in the breeze
was pleasant to my ears. Overhead,
between me and the absolute blue of

leaves, and wild rose thick with its

A WOMAN INVENTOR
A New Needle Devised by Mrs.
Eva ]. Hail. of Minneapolis.
EXTENSIVE PATENTS GRANTED
Not Only in This Country, but All
Over the Wor1d-A Company
Formed.

The little device, for the manufacture
OF which the Hall and Clark Needle COM
pany was recently Incorporated, with a
million dollars capital, is the invention of
a Minneapolis woman, Mrs. Eva Jennie
Hall. ... .., .N
The contrivance is self-threading
sewing-machine needle, the first one to be
invented. Two twists of the right hand
fixes the thread firmly in place.
In the top of the needles shank, which
fits into, the machine, is the free end of
a spring. The other end Of the spring is
attached near the point of the needle
where is placed the usual eye. To insert
the thread, it is simply drawn up and
against the head, Or freed end Of the
spring, which gives way. A gentle twist
and the spring allows the thread to slip
down the entire length Of the needle into
the eye, where it is securely held. The
principle is exactly the same as that en-
pioyed IN harness snap. The needle is
as firm and rigid as the kind in ordinary
use.
At present the device will be manufac-
tured in the east. Later the company is
expected to turn out it's product in Mime
apolis. A good deal of stock has been
placed here. Much of it was taken by
Minneapolis bank men
1t will not be long before this little nee
die will be in general use in the nineteen
foreign countries where it has been pat
ented. Letters patent have been secured
In Cape Colony, Australia and Canada, as
we'll as in Europe.

ALDERMEN FAVOR II
The City Hall Bath Plan Approved
by City Fathers.
A QUESTION AS TO MAINTENANCE
On This Point the Council Will BE
Guided by Other Cities
Experience.

The announcement yesterday that a
minneapolis philanthropist stood ready to
bear the expense of converting the old
city hall into a municipal bathhouse the
moment the city council says the word,
was the subject of general conversation
about the building to-day. Every one
agreed that no better used could be made
of the building, and all were curious to
know the identity of the philanthropist
Aldermen interviewed could see no good
reason why such disposition should not
be made of the building IL there was sat
isfactory assurance that the sum requisite
would be Forthcoming. Some said they
would favor the project If they could be
satisfied that municipal bathhouse could
be made self supporting. A few had their
doubts as to the feasibility Of the scheme
on that account. They were informed
that municipal lighthouses were being
conducted in many large cities practically
free of cost to the municipality as re-
suit Of the trifling fee exacted from pat
rons for the special privileges at such an
institution.
DR.. P. M. Hall, health commissioner,
who is heartily In favor Of the plan,
talked it over informally with aldermen
at the council meeting last evening. He
believes that when the aldermen once
realize just what Is contemplated they
will vote for it almost to a man.
Alderman Leighton predicted that there
would be little if any antagonism IN the
council to proposition, the realization
of which will rebound so greatly to the
public good.
The council has already voted to ad-
vertise for bids for the sale of the build
ing, but such action can be reconsidered
at the next meeting. No bids have yet
been received. The matter will come be-
fore the council at it's next regular meet
ing, and there is reason to believe that
it will receive favorable action.

NUMBER 3

The largest users Of evening news
paper advertising in Chicago do not
use the weekday morning papers at
all, and find it hardly necessary to
use any Of the many extraneous ad-
vertising media that are offered. The
great middle, classes are the largest
buyers of advertised articles-people
who earn from $40 to $500 a month !;
the majority Of them have very little
time to devote to a morning paper;
those who can afford to do SO glance
at it hurriedly before breakfast, and
"in great many cases take it along
to read on the cars. The average
time consumed between the factory
astore or office and the home is,
7tthink, about twenty-five minutes
sThis gives very little opportunity fol-

SOCIALIST" TICKET
SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS NO MORE
j. e. Nash Heads the T1cket-The
SOcialist-Labor Party's
Plans.

There will be no socialist-democrat
state ticket in the field to work confusion
to democratic voters on election day.
The party has dropped the democrat"
and seeks to place its ticket in the field
as a straight socialist" ticket. George
B. Leonard, attorney for the party, at the
Office Of the secretary OF state to-day,
rendered two certificates for filing. They
named J. E. Nash Of Minneapolis for gov
error and M. A. Brattland of Ada for lieu
tenant governor.
They will not be filed until passed on
by the attorney general, but there seems
to be no question as to the party's right
to use Of the name. 1t cast 1856 votes
two years ago-40O in excess of the / pei
cent required by law.
The socialist-labor party did not come
up to this, but will try to get on the
ticket this year by petition. Its leaders
are circulating petitions now, but it Is
doubtful whether they will be permitted
to use the name "socialist.''

HARD TO GET WHEAT
Some of the Local Millers Are Up
.. Against It.
ONE FIRM CONTROLS SITUATION
1t Has Plenty Of Wheat While Com.
petitors Must Depend Upon
Light Receipts.

unless the cash wheat situation in Min
neapolis is relieved shortly, some of the
big flour mills will close. 1t is impossi-
BILE to get eLcugh good milling wheat
mere TO keep the mills grinding. Millers
do not like to admit this and fight shy Of
any discussion of the question. Neverthe-
less the cash wheat situation from the
mlllers' standpoint is worse than it has
been in years. The situation is unique.
one miller has cinch on the supply of
good milling wheat Immediately available
The others are dependent upon the daily
offerings in the cash market and find
1T hard to get what they require.
The difficulty comes from the fact that
receipts are very light. For a week they
have been running 100 to $50 cars day
less than at this time last year. Yester-
day, for instance, there were 1O2 cars re-
ceived here against 2o2 on the same day
last year, and over half of these were
winter wheat, and only II cars graded
No. 1 northern. To-day's receipts were
only 139 cars against 1928 last year, 3S of
these were winter wheat.
Receipts always run lighter when
country st tocks are cleaned up as they are
this year and farmers are busy with the
harvest. This does not bother the mill
ers ordinarily. Minneapolis has AZ eleva-
tors, with 35,000,O 900 bushels storage ca
pacity, and miller unable to get what
ha wants from the cash tables can turn
to the elevators. But this year the sit
uation is different. With all their man.
moth capacity these elevators are bare
Of wheat, and the entire stocks of every
kind and grade in Minneapolis aggregate
only 3,220,442 bushels, and this has been
decreasing Of late at the rate of 100000
bushels a week. Even with these light
stocks-the lightest in years-the millers
could ordinarily get through until the
new wheat begins to move freely, but it
happens this year that the bulk of it, or
2,812, ,526 bushels is No. 1 northern all
owned by one miller. This miller bought
it months ago when it was cheap. He
could sell it all at a handsome premium
over what he paid, but it is not for sale,
as he needs it in his business.
Meanwhile good old dry No. northern
wheat has sold as high u cents over Sep
tember in this market, and even at a
premium of 10 cents for ordinary No. /,
it is hard to pick up any quality.

LESSONS AT THE FAIR
Week Is. Therefore,
Approved.

AS the time for the opening of the
school year approaches the school children
of Minneapolis are rejoicing over the fact
that the public schools will not open until
after the state fair. This is an experiment
here, although it has been tried with great
success in St. Paul. People are likely to
think of the state fair simply as a place
of amusement while in fact it is one of
the greatest educational influences fos-
tered by the state. Harrington Beard of
this city, who has given some Of these
semi educa tional subjects very careful
study believes in the educational influence
of the state fair and allows himself to be
quoted as follows:
Freedom is the emphatic note in twentieth
century progress. 1t is clearly to be heard
in the science Of education. Book learning
is supplemented by many means for the de-
veopment Of the child mind. Among these
experience is emphasized. To see thing
intellgently seems to be of larger value than
to be told about a thing. The value then
of such exhibitions as our state fair as a
means Of education for the children should
be considered. It would be well worth While
for teacher or parent to plan to take each
child to the Minnesota state fair every year
or two, for it would be hard to imagine a
day in school Of equal value to day spent
under careful guidance at the fair.
Our teachers are giving Of their best to our
boys and girls, but fear that amid the care
Of business in an American city few fathers
are appreciating their opportunity of con-
tributing in this sort of way to the we'll
being of their boys and girls. The advantages
of a day spent at such place as the fair
by father and son may be incomparably
greater to both man and boy than the ad-
vantage Of the day at business and at school.
The way, too, has been opened by the decision
of our school board to postpone the open
ing of the school until after fair week.. Shall
we not hope then, that the, fathers and
mothers will plan that some day IN TINS
week be devoted to visit at the fair 1t
will be day of experiences In natural his
tory and geography with possibilities IN 1t
also of larger import in the days compan-
ionship of parent and child.
Our fair managers may wisely, perhaps, be
mindful of this educational value of theil
work and seek to eliminate the worthless
and sensational and add from year to yea1
features which will contribute to the broad
healthy and useful development of the peo-
pie CT our state
In his closing sentence Mr.. Beard has hit
on Just the policy which the state fair
board has adopted. 1t is striving each
year to Improve the character and infiu-
ence of the fair and it has become notably
clean and more and more influential In
recent years.
