Hamilton was astoundcd. Helm sat
staring phlegmatically. Meantime Bev-
erlet' entered the room and stopped, hat
in hand. behind Alice He was flushed
and evidently excited. In fact, he had
heard of the trouble with Farnsworth.
and. seeing Alice enter the door of
Hamilton's quarters, he followed her
ton. He met the governors glare and
parried it with one of equal haughti-
ness. The veins on his forehead sweiled
and turned dark. He was in mood to
do whatever desperate act should sug-
gest itself
When Hamilton fairly comprehended
the message so graphically presented by
Alice he rose from his seat by the fire.
whats this you tell me?' he blurt-
ed. You say you've shot Captain
Farnsworth 2"
"Oui, monsieur"
He stared moment, then his fea-
lures beamed with hate.
And I'll have you shot for it, miss,
as sure as you stand there in your silly
impudence ogling me so brazenly.''
He leaned toward her as he spoke
and sent with the words shock Of
coarse. passionate energy from which
she recoiled as If expecting blow to
follow it.
An irresistible impulse swept Bever-
ley to Alice's side, and his attitude
was that Of protector Helm sprang
up.
A lieutenant came in and respectful
", with evident overhaste. reported
that Captain Farnsworth had been shot
and was at RoussiIlon place in care of
the surgeon.
Take this girl into custody Con
fine her and put strong guard over
her"
In giving the order Hamilton jerked
his thumb CONTEMPORARY toward
Alice and at the same time gave Bev
erley look of supreme defiance and
hatred. When Helm began to speak
he turned fiercely upon him and
stopped him with:
"None Of your advice, sir. l have
had all want of it. Keep your place
or I'll make YOU"
Then to Beverley:
..Retire, sir. When I wish to see you
I'll send for you. At present you are
not needed here"
The English lieutenant saluted his
commander, bowed respectfully to
Alice and said:
"Come with me, miss, please"
Helm and Beverley exchanged look
Of helpless and inQuiring rage. 1t was
as IL they had said: What can we
do? Must we bear it?" Certainly they
could do nothing. Any interference on
their part would be sure to increase
Alice's danger and at the same time
add to the weight Of their own humilia-
ton.
Alice silently followed the officer out
Of the room. She did not even glance
toward Beverley, who moved as If to
interfere and was promptly motioned
back by the guard. His better judg-
ment, returning, held him from rash
and futile act until Hamilton spoke
again, saying loudly a. Alice passed

POTATOES AND PEOPLE.

country in food production, and one
does not have to dream extravagantly
10 see the, enormous population that
this nation will some day comprise
The October McCMre's contains story
of a great undertaking row planned by
the Netherlands whereby they intend
to build a dixie twenty five miles long
to bar out the North sea from the Zuy-
der Zee, and then reclaim for cultiva-
ton by system of inner bikes, at
total cost of SOL ,000,o an area equal
to Marshall and about half of Hardin
counties. 1t is estimated by these
thrifty Dutch that this will be very
profitable venture, altho the cost OF

the water off the land, will be. s21I per

to make Hamilton lose sight OF the
danger from Clark's direction. TO do
this he artfully magnified the insidious
work that might be done by the French
and their Indian friends should they

or exasperating action on the part of

Hamilton felt the dangerous uncer-

but, like many another vigorously self

his passions to the dictates Of policy.
When Alice was conducted into his

anger. 1t was her father who had

VALUE OF STREET FAIRS.


Council Bluffs held carnival or
street fair last week which was a pro-
nounced success Notwithstanding three
days OF unfavorable weather. With
the view OF aseertaining public sentf-
nent regarding the value of entertain
ments of the kind the Nonparei in
teryiewed a number Of business men
and others and publishes their opinions
at some length. Without exception they
are enthusiastically In favor of such
entertainments when properly conduct
ed. They are valuable, it is agreed, in
the interest OF trade during their con-
tinuance, as an advertisement and in
their effect on the city generally. SEN
timent in Council Bluffs. as reflected
In the Nonpareil, is in favor of making
the organization permanent and hold
ing a carnival annually.
Mayor Dell c. Morgan is quoted as
saying that he falls to see how they
can afford to discontinue them.
Charles Beno thinks street carnival
is the best way of advertising city
and it's different interests. Well con-
Quoted, free from all Objectionable
features, they make possible concerted
action, mutually bringing the people
to understand the fact that the city
is alive and full of enthusiastic posi-
bilities." NJ +. Rohrer. former mayor,
declares that people demand just such
an entertainment once syear and IL
they can not get it at home they Will
go elsewhere. Joseph Smith finds in a
street fair "a great advertising medi-
UNI for the entire city and indirectly
for the different lines of business"
DIR. V. l.. Treynpr would make the
fairs an annual recurrence and have
them symbolical OF something that
would add to their attractiveness. 9th
ers testify that street fairs are business
getters and still others that they are
valuable from social point of view.
A number announced their Willingness
to contribute more literally for their
support in future years
The experience of Council Bluffs is
in line With that of Keokuk in the mat
ter of street fairs This city for a Sc
ries OF years has held highly success
full fairs and has found abundant rea-
sons for their continuance. Another
one Is scheduled to begin two weeks
from today and there is every promise
that 1t will be the best in the history
Of the community. There is greater
unanimity thar ever before regarding
their value and more general and bet
ter concerted effort to make the COM
ing one success.
