the good marquis extenled 70 them, one

celebrate the happy return ef his lost
children. And then, among that joyful
family, there were feryent thaBksgiyings
and explanations followed and reeitals OF
past plot and peril; and not the least
blessed Of all was Helen Montauban,
who rejoiced none might know how deep
ly, for II was as II life itself were re-

seek master Hugh" he said, "and follow

parted. Rose was deeply affected when
she heard Of this resolution. She longed
to see her father, and confde to him all
the trouble she had 80 lately endured
all that had been on her mind concerning
Robin; but, with further thought, she
decided that 1t was better to retain her
yexation and trouble within her own
breast until she had confessed all to the
marquis; for now she resolved 10 delay
that confession no longer.
And SO Jacques went, and Rose only
gave him thousand loving messages for
her father, and badc him tell or her ad-
venture, and her final safety, and Of the
death Of the villain Gasparde. Nothing
OF all her sorrow did she desire her father
to know yet. He must think Of her only
as happy and content.
The next day there was a gathering Of
stout and sturdy men from far and near,
armed with servlceable weapons; and the
forest was searched, and the robbers
cave discovered-a place never known till
then by the dwellers in that region. But
the brigands had Hed-their chief no long
er with them; and the cavern was empty
deserted. The robbers never returned
to It. 1t Is probable that the horde broke
up, and the men went In various direc-
tions to gain an unlawful living else
where; but they never were heard Of
again. Raimonde went to Italy, and
thenceforth was unheard from.

YOUNG INVENTORS.

Useful Discoveries Made By chiIdren
In Their Play.
Many cases are reported where mere
children have made discoveries In their
youthful diversions which have ex-
erted a wonderful influence on i'm
pOrtant industries In their deleYop-
ment The children of Dutch spec
tacle maker happened to be playing
with some c9 their fathers glasses in
front Of the shop door, Placing two
of the glasses together they peeped
through them and were exceedingly
astonished to see the weathercock of
a neighboring steeple brought, SEEM
ingly, within a short distance of their
eyes. They were very naturally puz-
zled, and called their father to see the
strange sight. He was no less sur
prised than the children had been. He
conceived the idea that he might utilize
this strange feature In the construction
of a curious toy which would be pro-
ductive Of both wonder and amuse-
ment among his friends. He did so,
and Calico, hearing of this toy that
was said to make distant things appear
close at hand, saw at once what help
1t would be to the study of the heavens.
This was the first inception of his tele.
scope.
When the poor Geneva mechanic Ar
gand invented his burner, after secur-
Ing an adequate and controllable flow
of air to the interior, making what he
termed double current" burner, long
endeavored to devise some means by
which the current supplied to the outer
circumference of the flame could be
strengthened and regulated, and his
efforts might have been longer de-
layed had 1t not been for the thought
less juvenile experiments Of his little
brother. One day. while Argand was
busy In his workroom and sitting be-
fore the burning lamp, the boy was
amusing himself by placing bottom
less glass flask over different articles.
Suddenly he placed 1t over the flame
Of the lamp, which instantly shet ND
the long, circular neck of the flask with
increased brilliancy. Argand was not
the man to let such suggestive occur

lamp chimney was born, and in short

against Russia's attitude to the pow

to preserve the integrity of the Chi

DID NOT FIX LINE.
Alaska Commissioners Let One Stretch

Washington. Nov. 7.-Contrary to
the general understanding, II develop
ed In Washington today that the Alas
kan boundary commission, recently in
session In London did not finally To-
cate the entire boundary line between
British and American territory but
stretch OF over 139 miles between
Kate's Needle and the Devils Paw,
two prominent mountain peaks lying
southeast Of Skagway, is yet to be de-
finitely located. Because Of the fail
rre Of the commission TO determines
the location Of this line the Joint sur
yeying commission that win be charg-
ed with marking of the boundary as
recently determined will be unable to
operate over this stretch OF territory,
which is about one-fourth OF the entire
length Of the boundary that has long
been in dispute.
1t SO happens that the country lying
between Kate's Needle and Devils
Paw is desolate, and apparently worth
less mountains Of snow and ice. The
determination of the actual location
OF the boundary is therefore of no i'm.
mediate Importance, but should mines
be developed, or should other resourc.
es be discovered, there would be rep
etirion Of the dispute that has existed
ali over Southeastern Alaska since the
discovery Of gold in the territory.
The boundary commission did not
have before it sufficient data to enable
it to fix this portion Of the boundary
with any degree OF satisfaction.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON

Advice Given to Growers by ex-commIs-
sloner Reynolds.

o"SA NSyADtabs
Salem-"Prunegrowers who have
not already sold their fruit should hold
II for price that win give them a fair
profit" says Lloyd T. Reynolds, for
merly horticultural commissioner for
the second diatxlet.
Dealers are around Offering to pay
a basis price Of IL cents. Probably a
majority Of the prune crop this year
viii average in the 5000 to-the-pound
size, and at this basis growers would
get only cents pound for their fruit.
Since the cost Of labor and fuel has
advanced, cents pound is about the
actual cost Of production. Growers are
cutting their own throats when they
sell at such figures.
The condition of the fruit market
does not warrant such low prices.
France had very short crop and Is
buying prunes heavily in this country.
The dispatches from New York tell us
that the packing houses in this country
have had difficulty in filling the orders
as fast as they are received. The
apple crop of the United States is / ,O00,-
900 barrels short and prices for that
fruit viii be high. Canned goods have
advanced very materially. In every
view Of the situation / can see no rea-
on why prunegrowers should not re-
ceive a fair price, IL they will ask for
II.
1T seems to me to be certain that
all the prunes will be wanted and the
proper course for the growers is to
wait until living price is offered. /
do not advise holding for speculative
prices, but for living price. Oregon
prunes this year are Of first-class quail
ty and they give satisfaction wherever
sold

Greatest Book Thief of All,

Probably the most audacious and
successful book thief that ever lived
was Count Libri of Florence, who,
emigrating. to France, became in 1912,
secretary of government commission
to examine and catalogue the books and
manuscripts in the many communal
libraries of the country. Awaiting him
self of his opportunities. Of the care
lessness and ignorance of the custoCi-
ans, and consummate knowledge of
the treasures unveiled to him, he quiet
ly and lelsurely despoiled the libraries
Of hundreds of their choicest manu-
scripts and most precious heirlooms
carefully obliterating afterward all
signs that might lead to their identifica-
ton.
How the collection thus acquired
came into possession Of the late Lord
Ashburnham; by what means Librps
robberles were afterward discovered
and traced back to him; together with
the recent sale of the library at stu.
pendous increaseo of price, and the meth
DDS by which the French government
finally recovered a portion of their long
lost treasures, form most remark
able and romantic chapter in literary
history
