CHAPTER ~.
When Royal Blood is Young Blood.


The mind only knows
What lies near the heart;
That alone Is conscious of our affections
No disease Is worse
To a sensible man
Thar not to be content with himself
-HAVAMAL,
Three richly dressed warriors, clinking
golden goblets across table-so much Ran
dalin caught In her first glance. On the
spot where the sentinel had released her
she stopped, stock-still and with eyes bent
on the ground tremblingly awaited the
royal attention.
Clink-clank-the golden goblet lips con-
tlnued their noisy kissing. The hum OF the
low-toned voices droned on without inter-
ruptfon. Minute after minute dragged by.
She venthrned to shift her weight and steal
an upward glance.
Her first thought was that kings tent
was very like a traders booth. Spears and
banners land gold-bossed shields decorated
the walls. while the reed-strewn ground
was Uttered with furs and armor. with
jeweled altar-cioths and embroidered pals
and wonderful soid-laced garments. The

rude temporary benches were spread with
splendid covers of purple and green. upon
which silver lilies and gold-eyed peacocks
had been wrought with exquisite skill. And
the rough-hewn table bore such treasures
as plunderers dream of when their sleep
ing bags are lying the most comfortable
ivory reique caskets, out of which the sa
cred bones had been unceremoniously
turned. gemmed chalices from earls feast
ing halls, and amber chains and silver mir
rors and strings Of pearls from their la

master of all this wealth.
He was not easy to pick out. or the
three men around the table. only one was
a graybeard, and OF the two strfpplings left
either might have been the SON OF Sven OF
Denmark. Both were finely formed: both
were dressed with royal splendor. and the
hair of each fell from under a jeweled cir
clet in uncut lengths of shining fairness.
The hair of the shorter one, though, was
finer. and no red tainted the purity OF It's
gold. When one came to look at It, It was
like royal cloak. Perhaps he might
be the king! She wished he would
raise his face from his hands. that shs
might see it, Then she noticed that his
shoulders lacked the breadth OF his COM
panion's by as much as a palms width:
and her mind wavered. Surely so great a
| king as Canute must be broader-snouldered
than any of his subjects! This youth was
hardly brawny at all; as Vikings went. he
was even slender. She turned her attention
to the other man. He was big enough.
certainly; the fist that he was waving In
the air was like nothing SO much as
sledge hammer. and there was likeness
| to the Jotuns in his fiorid, coarse-featured
| face.
As she watched it, Randaln felt a cold
ness creep over her. His great jaws were
| like the jowl of a mastin. His thick-lfpped
mouth-what was 1t that made that so ter
rible. even In smiling? Watching II with the
| fascination Of terror, It occurred to her to
endow him with the appetite Of the drunken
warrior at the table outside the tent. Sup

painted the picture SO clearly that she was
sick with horror. Sister Wynfreda's red

told her. That sacrifice Of beauty had not

alternative. The girls light-hearted bold

Control of Forest Reserves.


Mr. Richards also recommends the trans
fer of the control of the forest reserves TO
the Department of Agriculture. There are
Mt present fifty-three reserves, covering an
area of G2,354, 965 acres. The report con-
tinues:
1T is undoubtedly matter of first i'm
portance that the reserves thus far estab-
lished should be supplemented by such adj
dtiOnal ones as are needed to form a COM
prehensive series. such will insure full
protection to the water and timber supplies
of both the Rocky mountains and Pa cific
coast regions. AS yet neither of the two
great ranges of these regions has a suffi-
Gent chain of reserves protecting its entire
length. nor has the matter of reserving as
needed in connection with the irrigation
movement been fully determined
Marked Increase in Business.
The report shows a marked increase In
the business of the office over 1902, the to-
fal receipts being s11 yO24, 743. an increase of

year 1899. The total area of public land APP
propriated during the year was q, S24 900
acres an increase of 3,335, I64 acres over
the preceding year. About half the area
entered was entered under the homestead
law.
The Office is about twelve months behind
with its work. and the commissioner rec
ommends an increase of the force, in sup
sport of which recommendation he says:

OBTAINED BY FRAUD
PUBLIC LANDS THAT WERE
WRoNGFULLY GAINED.
Report of Commissioner Richards
Urgent Need of More Special Agents
to Pursue Investigations.

The~annual report of w. A. Richards
commissioner of the general land ONCE
which was made public today says that
there was in the past year a large increase
in the total number Of supposedly fraudu-
lent land entries over the preceding year
He attributes their discovery largely to an
order of the Secretary OF the Interior dated
/ November . 1902. directing the investfga-
ton of all entries made under the timber
and stone act in the states of California,
. Oregon and Washington. Under this order
/ alone 10000 entries have been suspended
Aand there are now fifteen special agents
: of the land Office In that field engaged in
: ferreting out the fraudulent entries.
Commissioner Richards also says that
I during the year there were reported 13o I'M
! lawful Enclosures of public land. covering
J an area of 2.GIo,3SO acres. Seventy-nine OF
! these Enclosures have been removed and
proceedings pending to compel the re-
/ moval of the remaining number He says,
however, that the total number here men
: toned is only fraction of the Enclosures
maintained in violation of the law. the
| special agents having found 1t impossible
! to give attention to many others because
} of the order for special investigation of
! the entries under the timber and stone act
Complaint is made of the operation of the
| act of March II. 1902, to facilitate entries,
! Referring to this law the commissioner
; says:
The privileges gained by the act have
been greatly abused particularly by United
States commissioners. who have often been
parties to wholesale frauds in connection
with entries made before them Afidayits
and entry papers have been prepared in
the names of fictitious entrymen, and a
variety of other ways have been devised by
these officers to assist parties to evade
compliance with the requirements of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-11-02
More Special Agents Needed.

The report makes a strong plea for a
larger force of special agents, saying:
Complaints come to this office from
every section of the country of fragrant
violations of the various laws relating to
the public lands Thousands of entries are
being made for speculative purposes with
scarcely any attempt q compliance with
1ht legal requirements. vast areas
l3wiuily inclosed to the exclusion of actual
settlers, and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of public timber is being taken
Gnlawfully. To put stop to these prac
tices and to preserve the remaining public
lands for the home builder a large field
force is absolutely necessary. 1t will be
remembered that the public domain covers
about one-half of the entire country. The
appropriation for the past year allowed the
employment of only about fifty-eght
agents and their duties consisted not only
In investigating and reporting on thou
sands of alleged fraudulent entries. tim
Der depredations and unlawful Enclosures,
but in doing a large part of the supple
mentary work necessary to establish VIOLA
tiuns of law discovered by them"
Speaking OF the forest lieu land selac-
tiCns the commissioner says there were
b.,t4 of them pending the LIST of last
July. and they involved an approximate
area of 1263 1876 acres. He recommends a
change in the law permitting the exchange
of patented lands within the reservation for
unp8tented land the outside. saying:
In the exchange of land within forest
reserve for other public land 1t frequently
occurs that land from which the timber has
been cut is exchanged for land heavily tim
bered. This is manifestly unfair to the
government. but cannot be prevented under
the law. While it is considered to be i'm
practicable to require that only land of
Ike value shall be taken in exchange for
land in a reserve, it might be provided that
timber land should not be selected in lieu
of such land. just mineral land is now
excepted from such selection"

by series of beautiful tabeaux and
was highly artistic in their presentation.
The costumes worn were beautiful, es-
pecially in the bridal scene, which rep
resented pink wedding. About forty
young society people took part in the
entertainment, and it was decidedly one
of the most attractive and artistic af-
fairs taking place in the city for some
time. Owing to the illness of Mrs. Roth
stein, the quartettcs were obliged to
be omitted from the program, which was
much regretted. Miss Duncan sang two
very pleasing solos, which were received
with great pleasure by the audience. The
entertainment was most successful, both
in attendance and financially. The pro-
