Don't dispose Of property covered by
chattel mortgage, seed lien, thresh lien,
or any other lien. The last legislature
enacted law which makes the selling
or con cealing ofproperty covered by a
chattel or other lien crime. Where the
property is worth over 800 the penalty
is one year in Jail or fine of $500, or
both fine and imprisonment. This is
quite severe, but the dishonest are the
only ones who will suffer any harm.

and she gathered the wood for the fires which kept
warmth in Ethel Ratchfords dainty body Hour
after hour, and day after day, too, she had lifted

day calamity lay waiting the for as, the
heels of the afternoon, they toed in the drifts,
clash of bells came out of the west-a fairy tinkle,
so faint that Sellers would have doubted his ears
only that Jeanne had also heard.
"Team the Cumberland trail" she said. Eve
must string out and find it, So, leaving Ethel with
the ponies Sellers placed Jeanne within bare hail ng
distance, then swung out to the end of the chain

Turning, he desperately toward the sleigh, for

wolves tireless hunters, had hung their trail fol-

Fainter and fainter came the cry of the
pack which, miles away, would make its
kill of the running horses. And Sellers
knew that it was useless to follow Already
the silent drift was sponging the sleigh

smother he dare not go beyond earshot of

followed five tracks in her rear.
Shortly after she paused and swept
a hand over her eyes, a gesture of in
finite WEAKNESS. Her magnificent Iimls
were tired down and refused further
office, yet she made no complaint,
uttered no cry. Standing, hand to
eyes, she watched the man she loved
disappear in the drift with the woman she
hated Around her the wolves padded
in narrowing circles, drawing a little
nearer, but always with the caution
born of dear acquaintance with that I'M

round, waiting for the end. But Jeanne

ARMY PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

Gen. and Mrs. Laurence p. Graham,
of the United States army, celebrated
the siXty-second anniversary of their
marriage in Washington last week.
Recently issued instructions pre-
scribe that, in the garrison kitchens
and canteens Of the German army,
home produce only shall be, so far as
possible, used. American lard and fat
are not to be eaten
Maj. Gen. BaCcn-Powell, ''the hero
of Mafeking," recently appointed chief
of cavalry of the British army, has re-
turned to England after visit to the
United States to study American cav
alley tactics and methods. In order
that he might accomplish his purpose
with as little publicity and ceremony
as possible, he travelled incognito and
unotficially.
AT a recent meeting of confederate
veterans in Richmond a story was told
which, if true, shows that once at least
Grant lost his characteristic imper-
durability. While lie was in Virginia
during the civil war an old lady sent
her grandson to ask where he was
going. The general answered, gruffiy:
Tell your grandmother 1 am going to
Richmond or Petersburg or Heaven or
hell" The boy came back in half an
hour and said: MY grandmother says
you can't go to Richmond because
Gen. Lee is there; you can't GO to
Petersburg because Gen. Beauregard
IS there, and you can't go to Heaven
because Gen. Jackson is there"
After 43 years former Sergt. John
Fogarty. late of the First United States
cavalry, has decided to have extracted
part of an arrow which was shot into
him by an Apache on the edge of Death
valley, California, in 1860. Fogarty,
who is attached to the Army medical
museum, was taken to the barracks in
Washington, and there underwent an
A-ray examination. The part of the
arrow was located and it is to be cut
out. Fogarty was serving under Gen.
j. Ill. Carleton, who was on a campaign
against some of the Apaches and their
friends of the southwest. Fogarty and
a squad were on their way down
mountain at the edge of the valley
when an Indian shot the arrow into
his neck and shoulder. His companions
pulled out the shaft and some of the
head. Most of the flint. however, re-
manned.

WENT DOWN WITH VESSEL.
At Least Twenty Lives Are Lost by
the Sinking of the British
Steamer HEddersfeId.

Antwerp, May 2S.--The British
steamer Huddersfield, Capt. Hamon.
which sailed from this port Tuesday
for Grimsby, England, was in collision
with the Norwegian steamer Tito.
1t is said the passengers were mostly
seamen returning to England. 1t is be-
lieved they were crushed in the col
lision. The bows of the Uto were dam
aged.
1t was ascertained later that % Aus
trian and Italian emigrants perished
when the Huddersfeld sank.
The, survivors of the Hudders-
fields passengers and crew were
picked up by the Tito, which landed
them here. The survivors say the
dead were nearly all crushed while
asleep in their berths. The collision
was so sudden that there was no time
to launch the Huddersfeld's boats.
The disaster is attributed 10 the cleo
trio lights of a dredger, anchored in
midriver, which dazzled the pilots of
the colliding steamers, who were thus
unable to see the danger of collision in
time to avoid the crash.
