Under ANIlIo,u I,ING2

The rose garden seemed To be as quiet
as n chtrchYard. No sound was heard
SAKE the faint souGhing OF the evening
wind ampng the rose bushes, no sight
resembling humanity save the face of
Pan looking down mockingly upon the
crimson blossoms that grdled him
Yet In Il few seconds 1T became plain
that the god Pan Was not the only oc-
cunant of the garden. Through quiet
alleyways, cloaked and cowled figures
came stealing, six in number-men with
pilgrims cloaks about their shoulders
and pilgrims hoods upon their heads
men who carried cocl1leshclls upon the
sleeves of their sabardines all con-
ccrging through the dark wallis of the
garden To ~ common center, and that
center the grassy space before the
huddled together at the base of the
image of Pan. One of them who seemed
To be their leader, a man of giant form,
spoke, and the voice was the voice of
Ihibaut d'Aussigny.
Are we all here" he asked.
The nearest pilgrim to him answered
With the voice of Rene de Montisny.
AYE, and ready to gather the royal
rose of this garden"
AS he spoke there came II faint click
at the latch Of the tower door. Thibaut
waved his companions apart.
Keep close" he said and four of the
pilgrim forms disappeared swiftly into
the spaces of shadow. Only Thibaut
and Rene remained, standing masked
and attentive, their eyes fixed upon the
tower door. 1t opened and Noel lie Jolys
emerged, followed by the slight hunch-
ed figure in faded black velvet for
whom the eyes of the conspirators We're
so eager. Noel advanced questioning
is the Star-gaZer here?"
Rene de Montigny answered him
glibly as a Snowman in the praise of

AYE. He is the wonder of the world.
He can read the stars more easily than
IA tapster the score on his shutter. He
can spell you the high luck and the low.
Bohemian, Egyptian, Arabian wisdom
have no mysteries for him."
AS Rene ceased, the royal figure with
sweeping gesture of his hand made a
sign of dismissal to Noel, who bowed
respectfully and withdrew into the
tower. The king then beckoned to the
mighty figure in the palmer's weed,
and Thibaut advanced slowly until he
was within touch of his prey, when he
suddenly flung out his great hand and
caught his enemy by the throat, grip
ping him into silence while his right
hand barred and brandished a dagger.

WILL HUNT OCTOPUS.
Funston Goes to Alaska to Investigate
Trade Combinations.


! Washington, March l9.-Genera,
Frederick Funston is to become a
trust buster" His operations in this
role will be directed toward CONNER
icial combination at ST. Michaels,
Alaska, which Is within the jurisdic-
,tion of the Department of Columbia,
ito the command of which he has just
lbeen assigned. The facts in the case
We're laid before General Funston last
week by William Carey Sanger, assist
;ant secretary of war.
! In the last two dcades several navi-
,gation and trading companies have
acquired from the war department re-
Nocable licenses to occupy certain por-
'tlons of the military reservation at st.
'Michaels. The land they hold is on the
water front, and there is now but little
ispace suitable for wharfage whichisnot
used under license by one or another of
these companies. When the trade of
ALASKA made an upward bound five
years ago competition between the
companies became very keen, but last
summer the spirit of organization ami
mated them and they We're combined
lnto single company. Tho question
was then raised as to whether each of
.the companies in the consolidation
could carry into the combination AL
of the holdings for which ii had OBJ
tained Individual license. Objection
WAS made to their doing SO on the
ground that one company would then
hold practically all of the water front,
leaving no place for any opposition.
yIhis, 1T was pointed out, might be con
strueG as restraint of trade and a vio-
iation of the Sherman law. The war
department took the matter under con-
sideration. No final decision has yet
been rendered.
In order to get at the facts of the
case General Funston has been ordered
ITO make a trip to Alaska for the pur-
pose of Investigating the combination
and its effect upon commerce. The
war department will base Its action an
the reports and recommendations made
by General Funston.

He Means II.

New Berlin, Ill, March 1o.-Ms.
Frank Newton OF this place speaks
very earnestly and emphatlcally when
asked by any Of his many friends the
reason for the very noticeable improve
ment in his health.
For long time-over two years---he
has been suffering a great deal with
pains in his back and an all over feel
ing Of illness and weakness. His appe-
tite failed him and he grew gradually
weaker and weaker till he was very
much run down.
\ friend recommended Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and Mr.. Newton began to
take two at dose, three times Il day.
In very short time he noticed an i'm
provement; the pains left his back and
he could eat better. He kept on inn
proving and now he says:
eyes, indeed! l am a different man
and Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all. l
cannot tell you how much better feel.
I am new man and Dodd's Kidney
Fills deserve all the credit

English Liberal Proposes Powers Agree
to Lessen Naval Expenses.

London. March 10. During the dis

house of commons today Sir Robert
ltied. a liberal, acknowledged that with
the international situation as 1t was,
the government is entitled to ask the
house to support 1t i'm the proposed en-

The speaker believed, however that
the public here and elsewhere would re-
volt at the inscnate competition in

European powers were concerned. for
the United States had no naval base
in Europe and would remain, he be
lieved. substantially AN American

government open friendly negotiations
with the powers concerned in this race
with Il view to arriving at an under
standing in regard to limitation Of

EDITORS TO BLAME.
Dull Magazines Not the Fault OF
