 You managed to nit him. you say.
 70, yes, sir. I did the job in great shape. First place. l got the men down on him by tellin' 'em some fairy stories about what he done in the east, where 'em he took advantage of his men, and always got the best of 'em and a big commission. They got just simmerln' mad, and just wanted to do somethin to hurt him If they could. He was standin' just side of the bottom of the ladder where the boys take the bricks up, an just as all the rest was goin' up l stepped on to platform and dropped brick on to his head from the third fioor.'
 Did 1t kill him?"
 "I don't know, sir, It knocked him silly, anyway. and the blood just ran out of him."
 of course. No one saw you?"
 Not a soul, sir"
 Very we'll then, you have nothing to fs1r. Here's your money. Two thous- ard dollars. Count 1t and see that it is correct"
 "I'll take your word for it, sir
 Take nobody's. word in matter of business. Regan."
 Yes, sir; but this is different. You saved me from the gallows once, and 1 swore then. that if l. could do you a service, even if 1t was murder, I would do it. I'm a bad lot, know, but do not forget that,
 Well, well, Regan, that is very good of you, but as we shall probably never met again. I want to feel that all is straight between us."
 Pm not in the same class with you. sir, but I've never split on you. even if l did know who you were by accident" :"
 That's true, Began, you have been square and stanch."
 All for the same reason, sir, I have not forgotten the old country and what you did for me, and never will"
 We will say goodby now, Began, do not expect to continue in this busi- ness, and if things turn out as I hope that they will I must go back home Whether they will or will not l do not know"
 ''Goodby, sir and good luck"

 T think I'll go for a walk" he said to himself, this Is getting rather excit- ing. I am glad that I found Regan. should not have liked to do 1t myself. I'm pretty hard sinner but I draw the line at that"

T should expect fthat, and after all that he has done for you do not think that you should go contrary to his wishes. You can go out with me. attend to this work and return"
 you are.''
 Very good; we will start tomorrow. think"
 The following day the two men were speeding on their journey westward. Bobs chatted with Mir. Elliot for time, but soon lapsed into silence, as he had that strange sensation that one has when being watched. He moved un- easily once or twice, and then finally swung his seat around and looked down the car.
 He saw no one that he knew, nor did any one appear to be watching or even noticing him. Half way down the oppo- site side of the car there was a we'll hape can catch someone looking at whose eyes had been resting on him, but who turned away as the chair swung around.
 What is the matter. Bobs?" asked MT: Elliot kindly. You seem uneasy"
 do not know, sir," was the reply "1 felt that I was being watched by someone. but for the life of me I cam not imagine by whom."
 Imagination, my boy; that is all. You are tired and excited, but soon you VIII have good rest, and then you will De as good as new. You are too young eo Iiafc AdHCleS.
 Tt was no fancy, MT. Elliot. There was some one looking at me intently. Some one who knows me, though I do not know them"
 How do you know?"
 l cannot tell you, but I felt it as dis tinctly as though I could see them"
 will keep an eye out, Bobs, and per- dressed, distinguished looking man, you"
 The conversation had been carried on Tn low tones so that elo one could hear them. Most of the passengers were wo- men, and MT. Elliot could not but think that some of them might be looking at Bobs Just for the pleasure of seeing a handsome, well-made young chap in per- feet physical health. t.SE- -.--
 Bobs would have pleased any. female eye, but MT. Elliot did not think it nec- essary to tell him so He respected the young fellows feeling after all that he mad been through and determined to keen a watch for himself.
 If the lad had been kidnapped once. he argued, it might happen again, but not if he could help 1t. There must have been some very good reason for Carrying him OH and attempting to keep him. but it was mystery which he had no means of solving. He. therefore, decided that the next thing to do was to prevent a repe-
 In spite of Bobs's sensations the train ran swiftly into Chicago, and soon MT. Elliot and Bobs were at the house of the former.

CHAPTE XXV:
 The work on the house goes on we'll does it, Bobs?" oN
 Yes. MT. Elliot, very we'll We have some trouble among the hodcarriers. but cannot find out where it arises. There seems to be a continual mild warfare going on, and yet not the symptoms of a strike." ~
 You cannot account for it?'
 Not in any way, sir. When I am there all is quiet, but as soon as I go away the boss says that the trouble commences. It is of an indefinite nature, but 1t is there."
 Cannot you get at the root of it?''
 There appears to be no root; it is all blossom. I should says It is a mild growl about nothing in particular and every thing in general
 cifc thing?"
 No. and that Is the difficulty. If they would only come put flatfooted he would know what to do. As 1t is he is at sea. :" harmy I guess"
 Bobs put on his hat and coat and started for the new house. He was en- toying himself immensely with hts work but this matter had disturbed him con, siderably, 1t was so intangible
 Arriving at the building, ne went about ms usual duties, and having finished the detall work, stood with the foreman near the front door and close to a ladder. up which the hodmen were moving in reg ular rotation.
 Then we will go right along, MT. Nor gan and not notice the growI?"
 Yes, Prentiss, go right ahead till we get at something definite" The words were hardly out of Rohs' mouth when a falling brick struck him on the Side of his hat cut a deem hole through it and the lad fell to the around with the blood streaming down his face,

background for the coarse stitchery of
the raffia.
Green burlap is the favorite color for
the natural color raffia, although thu
different shades Of red combine almost
as artistically with it's buff tones.
The lone stripes of raffia must be cut
before attempting to apply them to the
burlap, the reason being obvious when
the first attempt is made to carry it
with a needle through a fabric. The
most successful patterns are the SIM
plest in design, and without minute
stitches. A long and short stitch is
adopted, as any cross stitches would
look bulky.
Besides the regular pattern that &C.
cupies the center of the cushion, or is
carried around the four sides as a.
border, the raffa can be applied along
the outer edges of the burlap as q
finish. Table covers need only this
plain edging to be both useful and
ornamental.
For summer homes, on land or water
Or porches or wherever rustic furni-
ture is used, the table spreads of en-
broidered raffa seem to fill a place that
has not before been adequately filled.

Mrs. Secord herself determined, if pos
sible, to warn the British of the pros
pective attack.
She left her house toward evening in
her ordinary dress, not even changing
her light slippers for stout shoes, or in
any way giving indication of a long
and perilous journey by foot. At first
she strolled along leisurely and cajoled
an American sentry into letting her
pass with tale that she was looking
for stray COW. AS darkness fell she
began to walk rapidly, taking the
most unfrequented and toughest roads
and occasionally short cuts through

are criminally remiss i'll not raising
their warning voices against the danger
into which tens of thousands OF Amerl-
can farmers, whom they are so solicit
Gus to protect, are now running by go
ing into single tax country to make
their homes. Surely these humane
guardians of the American farmer
ought not to remain silent at this time.
If they fail to sound the alarm now the
farmer may lose faith in their sincerity.
The American farmer has been a lit
tie slow to learn the advantages that
must result to him from the freeing
from taxation the products of his in
dustry. But, like all slow learners, he
is tenacious of what he learns. It Is
creditable to the intelligence Of the New
Zealand farmers that local option has
been made more Roadway in the rural
districts than in the urban localities Of
that country. The intelligent Amer1-
can farmer who is going into Manitoba
will have an opportunity to learn much
in short time, and what he learns
there he will be sure to impart to those
he left behind him in the old home. 1t
is sad to think Of Americans having to
leave their native land to find homes
under a foreign flag, while there is so
much land in this country unused, but
if they must go there is compensation
in the fact that they are going to a
country where they can, under even a
partial application of the single tax,
enjoy the fruits Of their industry and
retain their heritage of freedom.

AGED SPINSTER's ROMANCE.
(Orange, N. j., Telegram to the New
York Times.)


A pathetic romance is brought to light
by the ppraoaching ninety-fourth BIRTH
day Of Miss Mary Ann Terhune, who
lives with her niece, Mrs. Harvey
Green, at Is Ward street, Orange. Miss
Terhune has never been married be-
cause of VOW she took when she was
twenty-three years old. She is the
daughter Of the late Garrett Terhune,
Of New Brunswick, and at the time she
was engaged to be married to young
physician of that place.
The day had been set and the bridal
trousseau prepared, and invitations had
been issued for the wedding, when the
bridegroom to be was stricken with an
illness that quickly caused his death.
Miss Terhune grieved over her loss and
delared that she would never marry.
She has outlived nearly all of her i'm.
mediate relatives, and now, although
her great age makes her feeble, it is
her boast that in all her life she has
never required the services of physi
clan. She posed for picture the other
day for the first time since she was
young girl.

During the past four years 105,771
Americans enMgrated from the Unlted
States to the Dominion of Canada. The
figures for the four years are 1880 in
1903. $4,000 in 1902 $4,000 in 1901, and
5,791 in 1900 The New York Evening
POST says that this immigration OF
Americans into Canada shows no sign
of diminution. And it is generally esti-
mated that the number who will emf
CRATE from this country next year Will
greatly surpass that of any previous
year.
The vast majority Of these imtai-
grants have settled in the Province OF
Manitoba, which lies Immediately north
of states of Minnesota and North Da-
kota. Last year the government of
that province gave away 100000 acres
Of land to homesteaders, and the rail-
way company sold 100000 acres more
at low price. Our countrymen have
gone to Manitoba to get free and cheap
land for settlement and cultivation.
In 1901 the province produced 50,502,-
005 bushels of wheat, the average yield
being 25.1 bushels per acre; and 1885,
5SS bushels of oats, the average yield
per acre being 1913 bushels.
It will be interesting to American
single takers to learn that this province
into which 50 many of the farmers of
the United States are moving, has made
more progress toward the practical ap-
plication of the single tax than any
country in the world, not even excepting
New Zealand. In October, 1898, Mr..
George J. Bryan of Toronto, who has
since written a very interesting and
instructive booklet on Advances in
Tax Law" wrote Of Manitoba: "Under
the prevailing system which has been
in force for upwards Of eight years, all
cereals, flour and stock, the produce of
the farm or field, all houses, barns,
fences, implements, draining or other
improvements added to the land: all
household effects and furniture, books,
and wearing apparel Of every kind, are
free from taxation. And all lands i'm
proved for farming and gardening pur-
poses are taxed only on their unim-
proved or prairie value. In respect to
two items implements and live stock),
the law enacts that exemption is al
lowed up to $1,000, but in effect prac-
tically no farmer in the province is
taxed other than on the unimproved
value of the land.
That the system in Manitoba is emf
nently just and satisfactory to the en-
tire community affected is proved by
the fact that from no tiller Of the soil
has any complaint been heard against
the method in vogue" This statement
shows that except those parts Of New
Zealand which have awaited themselves
of the local option law Of that country,
Manitoba has applied d larger INSTALL
ment of the single tax than any other
country in the world. In the city Of
Winnepeg, the capital Of the province,
which had q <population, Of St, 900 in 1902,
all personal property is exempted from
taxation. Mr.. Bryan informs US that
the average amount OF the: yearly. tax
on; 4 quarter section OF land is about
$12.A nd that Sis al the tax the farmer

morning in, state of exhaustion at
Beaver dams. The first people that
she saw were Indians. They conducted
her at once to Lieutenant Fitz Gibbon,
who had heard nothing of the danger
that threatened. He instantly prepared
himself and that very day, after a
slight skirnish, he captured 500 Amer
leans and two field pieces.
When the Prince of Wales now king
of England, visited Canada he called
on Mrs Secord and presented her with
f100 pounds in acknowledgment Of her
heroism. The old lady, in her fervent
loyalty, would fain have knelt before
the queens son, but he would not per-
nit it, and gently replaced her in her
chair. She died in her house in Chip
peWa in the late SOS.

PRESENT COUNTESS PoTockA.

The name Of the Countess POtOcka
is perhaps best known to American
readers through the pastel portrait Of
a Countess Potocka in the Berlin Mu-
scum, and by the memoirs translated
by Lionel Strachey. The present ooun-
tess, whose story of the life of the
great piano teacher, Leschetizky, is
about to be published by the Century
company, is a sister of the musicians
wife. The name Potocka is pro-
nounced "Pototska," and a Countess
Potocka is the wife of Count Po-
tockl-"Pototski." Theodore Lesche-
tizky's life is said by those who have
seen the advance sheets to read like
romance.
