STONE WALLS DO NOT MAKE A
PRISON.
Job had no trouble in finding his
way to the lawyers house, despite
the gathering night. He walked like
man who is sure of his way. AS
he came nearer the humble-looking
hesitation.
Clocks like the abode of innocence
and peace" he 1nuttered. Foxes are
careful not to betray the character
of their holes from the outside.
wonder how the years have dealt with
the worthy Henslow? 1 hardly
thought a man of his ambitions
would be satisfied to rust in a coun-
try town all his life"
He approached nearer the house,
and stood for. moment looking up
at the windows.
"Not light in sight. 1 wonder
if the family are all away. AT least
she is here, and that is all care for.
1 should not like greatly to come
in contact with the lawyer"
He moved around to the side of
the building, and stood for a mo-
ment debating what to do under the
circumstances. The place wore such
deserted look that he was unde-
cided.
AS he stood there in the shadow Of
tree he was aware of, a step in
the road, and drew back closer into
the shadows. A man came into
view whose features he could not
make out, but who seemed to be
dressed in well-fitting clothes, and
carried himself with a certain jaunty
air
The newcomer, as he approached
the house, seemed to be looking from
right to left, as if he feared to be
seen. He walked past the building,
peering into the shadows. Job Hen
bricks crowded back against the
fence among the bushes, and Won
dered why he was not discovered.
The stranger, having satisfied him
self that there was no one in the
neighborhood, went up to the front
door Of the cottage and raped on it
softly in peculiar way.

Old Railroad Ticket Is Now q Gu
riOsity.

Mrs. Laura E. Howey, librarian of the
State Historical society, of Montana has re-
ceived from C. E. Reese, of Virginia City,
one of the tickets used in the carry COS on
The stage lines of Montana. 1t is from Vir-
ginia City to New York, issued by the Wells
Fargo company, the fare at that time being
$3.50. The ticket is composed OF eight
coupons.
The first is by stage, supposedly to Salt
filed in. From there it is over the Union
Pacific railroad to Omaha, by omnibus to
Council Bluffs and from there to Chicago
over the Chicago & Northwestern Railway.
From Chicago the ticket is over the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne & Chicago to Pittsburg
and from Pittsburg to Harrisburg over the
Pennsylvania Central. From the latter
place to New York the ticket calls for pas
sage over the Allentown line to New York.

II am not easily frightened" re-
piled Hendricks, at the same time
casting an inquisitoria1 look at his
landlord. After all it was not worth
making a fuss about. He was begin
ming to feel ashamed of his own fool
ish fears, that had such a slight foun-
dation. Hearing the rattle of the
dishes in the. dining-room beyond, he
changed the subject by asking for
some supper. He made a poor meal,
and then having inquired the way to
the lawyer, Jared Henslow's house,
he went out in the gathering night.
Declare 1 feel as excited as a
schoolgirl going to her first ball, !"
he said to himself. Il haven't the
nerve 1 was once celebrated for. Job,
you'll have soon to confess that you
are getting old and useless"
At. some distance from the inn he
paused to look back. Was it one
more of his fool fancies that the
shutters of a room on the first floor
moved as if some one was taking
a view of him?
He drew himself up with a laugh
as he strobe through the gathering
dusk down the village street.
"And / am trying to save another
man, he muttered. at would be
funny if it wasn't so melancholy a
fact-that I'm perhaps hunted for
at this moment myself"

CHAPTER VII.
PASSING SHADOWS.

Hendricks left the park in a
thoughtful mood. He had much to
ruminate on. 1t was strange how
his thoughts ran on that ragged indi-
vidual he had seen for moment out
of the window, the man who seemed
to worry Ellison SO much, more
than anything else that had happened
during the visit.
"Why was he so worried lest the
fellow should be seen?' he asked him
self on the way back to the town.
Can it be that that person is in
any way connected with the tragedy?
when he entered the town that he
remembered his brief interview with
the blind man. He felt so sure that
his fancies had misled him that he
was delighted to see that worthy
seated on the steps of the meeting
house, soliciting in quavering voice
charity from passers-by.
cit must have been a fancy after
all-that man could not be here
muttered Job, as he approached the
blind man again.
The patriarch was seated on the
stone steps of the church, his hat was
off, and he seemed to be trying to get
a breath of fresh air, a modicum of
the faint breeze that had sprung up
just then.
Here is little to help you along,
FRIEND" and Hendricks dropped a
dime in the tin cup he wore about
his waist.
The blind man uttered his thanks,
and then, taking off his glasses, pro-
ceeded to rub them carefully.
Job turned away, shaking his
head, after looking the beggar over
slowly and carefully.
well, l am certainly getting fool
fsh in my old age. There, I fancied
when 1 first saw the fellow that he
was looking for me-" He rubbed his
eyes for moment. and then: "Job,
you are getting to be an old fool!
How is it possible that he could have,
followed you here?''
he resumed his road, and yet he
did not feel wholly at ease as he
made his way to the Bluebell.
The landlord was delighted to see
him at such an early hour.
81 thought you would not come I'M
til night" ventured Mr.. Bowersox.
What does it matter to you when
L come, as long as pay for what 1
get?" said Job,- in moody voice,
though he had no intention of Of
Tending the inn-keeper.
"You would like to see yer room,
perhaps?''
"Well. yes, and go to it, if it is the
same to YOU"
As he spoke, Hendricks pumped
down on chair in the cafe. He was
plainly in no good-natured mood.
Il wish you would send to the de-
pot for my baggage, as intend to
spend some days here" he remarked,
after moments silence.
Peter, who had already learned
the value of such a profitable guest,
was at his side in an instant.
"You shall have your Stuff in ten
minutes, SIR" he said. Then, going
to the back of the hotel, he sum-
moned up small darby and instruct
ed him to proceed to the station with
wagon in search of the gentleman's
luggage.
In the meantime, the landlord,
studying his guest, who was seated
half asleep at a table, wondered what

before the other could frame an an
swer, he had opened the door and
gone out.
Ellison sat watching the door in q
dazed sort of condition, as if he half
expected him to appear again, b;it
Hendricks did not appear. Then,
after a moments hesitation, he
rushed out into the hail, crossed it,
and, passing through n narrow. pas
sage and then n dressing-room,
reached the windows that opened on
the park in front of the house.
He saw Hendricks pass out
through the front door land walk
with lazy air. down the main ave-
nue. that led to the gates. Not once
did he stop to look back ut the house
that he had just left.
Ellison, who was watching, saw
him disappear beyond the lodge
keepers gate, and returned to the
library shaking his head und NUT
tering to himself.
As he entered the room, he start
ed back in dismay at the s:glt of a
strange man in tattered clothes who
was seated at the desk he had just
left, and was putting on cigar that
he had evidently extracted from one
of the drawers.
James Ellison slammed the door
behind him with an angry gesture.
which did not in the least seem to
discomfort the shabby individual with
the cigar.
81 wish you wouldn't make such a
noise, Jimmy" remarked the latter,
as he blew smoke wreath into the
air and watched it fade away. FL
lison stepped forward and pushed
him into sitting position, his every
gesture obetraying the anger he felt.
The shabby man shook off the
grasp. made a pretense to brush his
dirty sleeve, and looking up calmly,
as he drew long puff on his cigar,
said, with an air of blase WEAKNESS:
Il wish, my dear fellow, you would
not be SO rude when you meet a man.
Really, 1 expected kinder treatment
from one 1 have learned SO long to
love-
Ellison uttered an oath, turned
away, walked up and down the room
several times and then, pausing be-
fore the ragged individual, who was
inspecting his cigar with critical
interest. said:
"Could you not tell, you fool, when
warned you from the window, that
you were not to be seen around
here?''
The other waited until he had
shaken the ashes from his cigar, and
then replied, in very mild voice:
Really, my dear brother you are
getting to speak very harsh in your
old age. Why should I be warned
of the premises by a wave of the
hand, as if was under command

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.

America is the land of nervous women
The great majority of nervous women
are so because they are suffering from
some form of female disease. BY far
the greatest number of female troubles
are caused directly by catarrh. These
women despair of recovery. Female
trouble is so common, SO prevalent,
that they accept itas almost inevitable.
The greatest obstacle in the way of re-
covery is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness.
In female complaint, ninety-nine
cases out of one hundred are nothing
but catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. .

valuation of our apprehension of
mode of manifestation of force, an
alogous to those forms which we call
gravitation, light, heat, etc.
Next he says that value is form
of force, not to be measured at any
given time or place, in action" but
that it is a force measurable "as ap-
pretended, or appraised, or valued
by u.s." (February 12.)
Further on he says that value is
"a mental estimate of the quantity of

things endowed with utility" (Feb-

Mr.. Ashby uses the expressions
quantity Of value" and quantity of

thing; and as though that thing were
susceptible of measurement, by itself;

measured; that is to say, without ref
erence to any other thing, except the
measure. '(March 12.)
| In brief, MIR, Ashby's idea Of value

appears to be quantity of demand
for things of utility; such demand be-
ing form of force. Expressed still
more briefly, value, according to Mr..
Ashby, is quantity of force. If we
admit these premises, and Mr. Ashby
proves to possess any logical power.
we may be obliged to admit some very
strange conclusions For my part. I
object to both of them. Said a re-
noWned philosopher of past century:
Every truth or error which the word
value introduces into mems minds is
social one" l refuse to accept Mr..
Ashby's definitions, because I regard
them as erroneous and (if logically
followed up) likely to prove empar-
RAISING and mischievous.
value, according to the best writer's
on the subject, is neither a thing nor
quality of thing. 1t is simply IAN
arithmethical relation between two or
more commodities or services, which
makes its appearance during the act
OF exchange" Such is the definition
in Del Mars well-known Science of
Money" 1t is briefly and clearly ex-
pressed; it covers every conceivable
application of value; it is difficult to
see how it can be improved. That au-
thor must have foreseen how likely

THE MAXIMUM RATE Law


There Is no particular call for
another law to enforce the maxi
mum rate law. The maximum
rate law Is enjoined for the time
being by the decision of the SUI
preme court Of the United States.
The decision was based on the
opinion of the court, after hearing
all the evidence offered that the
limited revenues of the railroads
i'm Nebraska would make it inn
possible to execute the law with
out depriving the owners of the
roads Of the reasonable profits
they were making out Of the bus
mess. No supplemental act Of the
legislature would brush away that
decision. If, as is claimed and
may well be the fact, the CON-
ditions have so changed that the
rates could be put in force now
without reducing the receipts OF
the roads below the limit of rea-
sonable profits 1t will be neces-
sary for the state to bring an
other action SO that the court
may try the case on its merits
again. Such action can probably
be brought by any local shipper
as we'll as by the ate.-State
Journal.

PRESCRIPTIONS

The Independent contains an
able editorial discussing John d.
Rockefeller as a dominant and
dangerous element in the affairs
Of this country. 1t relates how he
obtained and holds that power and
is increasing it as the months go
by. All this is calculated to in
spire and augment our fears, and
nothing more. What interests us
moro than all else Is to know
what to do with the wretch. What
process, legal or otherwise, can be
taken to put him out? If an en-
envy comes down upon me when
I'm not looking and fetters my
limbs and piles me up In cor
ner and sits down on me, what
thanks do I owe the man who
comes along and tells me l have
been fettered and sat down upon.
The world is looking for men who
can do more than recite and mag
nifty it's ills; for men who can
suggest an intelligent remedy and
give particulars concerning its ap-
plication. The diagnostician with
out the dope is more aggravating
than the disease A. L. Blk
by, in Daily Drift" State Jour-
nal .
Well, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Sy-
rup, alias the Elkins Bill, is not the
sort of dope" that is needed. The
Independent does not know the par
ticular school" to which DR.. Bixby
belongs, but it is safe to say that he
would advice removing the cause
as the only sure cure-the proper
dope.
But what is the cause? That de
pends upon the opinion of the
"diagnostician." Doubtless DR.. Blk
by will affirm that God and Rockefel-
Ter together built up the Standard Oil
trust; hence, removing the cause
would be somewhat severe on at least
one of the partners. The single takers
affirm that the cause is to be found
in the private ownership of land
the oil lands and the refinery sites;
hence, the cure is to compel Mr.
Rockefeller to pay over to the gov
ernment the economic rent on all his
holdings.
The socialists say the cause is to BIZ
found in the private ownership of the
means of production and distribution
hence, the cure is the collective own
ership of Mr. Rockefeller's oil lands
his refineries, his railroads, etc., al
well as the collective ownership O
all other material means of produc
tion and distribution.
The populists say that the cause il
to be found in the special privileges
franchises, etc. which are neces
sary feature in the private ownership
of certain lines of business whicl
ought to be publicly owned and op
Grated. They say that the STANDARD
Oil trust was built up in great meas
ure through determinations in freigh
rates accorded Mr.. Rockefeller, whicl
enabled him to have an immense ad
vantage in every market. Their cur
would be the public ownership AM
operation of the railroads.

GETS A NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Reverses the Trial Court
on Error.

Bismarck, Dec. 3O.-The supreme
court has just handed down a decision
in the famous Barry murder case, re-,
versing his conviction, and ordering
a new trial on the ground that the
judge who presided at the trial COM
mitted errors in his charge to the
jury, and that they were Of such a
character that they were %prejudicial to
the defendant.
The case of the State VS.. VIM. Barry
was tried at Langdon, the trial begin
ming on the 10th of July, 1901, and
was one Of the most famous trials in
the criminal history of this part Of
the state.
On the third day of January, 1901,
VIM. Barry, an unmarried man, re-
sided on a farm near Milton, killed
his hired man, Andrew Mallen.
Barry was indicted by the grand jury,
and his case brought to trial as above
stated. W. B. Dickson and John
M. Cochrane represented the state and
Tracy Bangs, Judge Templeton and
W. W. Erwin were retained by the
defense. The defence put up a plea
of %epileptic insanity of their client.
The defense claimed that Barry murd-
cred Mallen while suffering from an
epiletic stroke, and therefore was not
to be held on a charge of murder in
the degree charged. The CASE lasted
thirty-two days, and created int RESI-
all over the northwest. The jury
rendered a decision of guilty az
charged, and sentenced Barry to life
Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Barry then retained Tracy Bangs fo1
the purpose Of appealing the decision
to the supreme court. The appea
claimed that the judge had made
errors of law in charging the jury
and this appeal was granted.
Barry is now serving his life sen
tence in the ~penitentiary at Bismarck
but will be brought tt
Cavalier county and confined in tn
Jail to await a new trial. Judg'
Kneeshaw presided at the trial a
Langdon in 1901.
