his experience must have told him lay
In his path. What meant suffering to

what were life should he fail to rescue
her? The old, old song hummed in his
heart every phrase OF 1t distinct above
the tumult Of the storm. Could cold

wild beasts aid scalp hunting savages

that can hinder love. He said this over
and over to himself after his rencoun-
ter with the four Indian scouts on the
Wabash. He repeated it with every
heart beat until he fell in with some
friendly red men. who took him to their
camp where, to his great surprise, he
met Nj. Roussillon. 1t was his song
when again he strobe of toward the
west on his lonely way.
He did not know that Long Hair and
his band were Fast on his track, but
the knowledge could not have urged
him to greater haste. He strained ev-

nerve to the highest tension. Yonder
toward the west was help for Alice.
That was all he cared for.

CONNECTS ON THE ROADS.

Way down in Georgia the people are
Just beginning an experiment with a
convict labor law that allows felon con-
victs TO be farmed out 10 the counties
for road construction work along with
the rnisdemeanor convicis already used
for that purpose. Georgia has a prison
commission which assumes charge of
the convicts and within the last week
the capital city of Atlanta has wit
messed lively convention of county
trustees assembled to secure conces-
sions from the prison commission re-
garding the rules and regulations to be
followed in using the felon convicts on
:he roads. A compromise was effected
whereby the prison commission finally
adopted for the regulation of felon
convicts the same rules in force by the
counties for the misdemeanor convdcts
and allowed the counties TO provide
their own guards and designate their
own whipping bosses"
AS criminals in Georgia are largely
negroes and as public sentiment in

heves, Will be of grea; benefit to the

practicable means for lowering tariff
schedules to the protective point. In
his speech at Clinton he cites the his
tory of defeated treaties and explains
that it is almost impossible to secure
the passage of reciprocity treaty IN
yolving many articles of trade, Be
cause of these difficulties the senator
favors experimenting with maximum
and minimum tariffs: tht, passage Cd
general law providing maximum
rate to be applied on the products of
foreign factories unless concessions
are made by said foreign country when
the minimum rate shall prevail.
The senator points out the danger IN

leaves a very gloomy prospect ahead
