CHAPTER XVI.
IN A TIGHT PLACE.

II was a strange and weird scene that
that lay before DonaId's eyes a few mo-
meats later. Close TO the fire. in the
narrow radius of light which made the
surrounding darkness seem all the
biaoker. squatted the convicts, some
with their backs against the wall OF
tire cavern, and some leaning on the
large stones that were scattered about
profusely.
Two or three oficiated as cooks or
helpers and passed around tin cups OF
steaming tea, plates OF biscuit, and
slices Of brOiled meat that had the odor
and taste Of venison.
The men ate greedily-for it was their
first meal in many hours-and all the
while they talked volubly. and with such
freedom that Donald CLEANED much in
teresting information
He learned. for one thing. that the
daughter Of General Tichimiron was a
prisoner in the cavern. and that the
party who carried her of had success
fully eIuded the pursuing Cossacks.
It was not hard to guess where the
girl was concealed. for presently Bar
anok himself filled a tray with food and
disappeared behind the big rock that
Donald had noticed before. He reap
Peared almost Immediately and took his
place BY the fire.
Donald ate with as much gusto as the
rest. but his satisfaction was marred
when he discovered that the convict
Gross, who sat opposite, was watching
him closely.
Although they had travelled together
from Tomsk with the exile party, Don
aid had never exchanged a word with
this man. and. in fact. had rarely been
near him. Now there was a peculiar
light OF recognition in the convict's eyes
which rendered Donald uneasy. and i'm
pressed him with the belief that some
thing unpleasant was about TO occur.
though what it was likely TO be, Donald
could not conceive
He assumed as careless and noncha-
liant a manner as possible under he
close scrutiny. but all satisfaction in his
meal was gone.
Suddenly Gross rose to his feet in such
an impulsive manner that all eyes were
instantly drawn 20 him and the hum or
conversation ceased.
4 know you now" he cried loudly.
pointing one hand AT Donald, You have
no business here--yOu arc traitor. Ii
was you who brought about poor Law
roh's death
Donald stood up, not knowing how to
reply 20 this charge. and the convicts
rose all around him. rage and couster-
nation depicted on their faces.

the traitor die,''
But suddenly Waldorf forced his way
into the center OF the throng with his
one arm. and stood by Oonsld's side

Waxahachie, Tex, June 30. The

riculture at Washington, In his re-
port today on the condition OF cot
ton, says: The condition of cotton
10 very generally improved through
out the belt, but continues late and
is suffering for cultivation in the
districts where low night tempera-
lures have checked growth. Lice
and rust have caused injury in
North Carolina and Missouri, and
in Texas boil weevils are spreading
and are more injurious. The crop
is also suffering for cultivation in
portions of Louisiana and central
Northern Texas. Sunshine and
heat are generally needed especially
in the Central and Eastern districts.

OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
The Timber and Stone Act.


TO the Editor of The Journal:
In your editorial Wednesday in which
you review an interview I gave to a re-
porter Tuesday. evening, you express ideas
that I feel called upon to. ask you to per-
nit me to reply to. You say that while
there is food for reflection" in my state
!nents, that nevertheless, the timber and
stone act is so prostituted at present, that
it is merely means of affording powerful
corporations and wealthy men chance
to raid the public forests ...
In my judgment, after a careful study
and observation for quite a respectable
length Of life, the most unfortunate ele-
ment in this country, that counts more
for the final shake-up, is prejudice reach
ing all classes of people. The lumber sup
ply. Of this country can be handled to ad-
vantage only by large. capital. Lumber is
an absolutely essential product in our
common, everyday business life and
necessary to maintain the. comfort Of the
people. There is no more reason for on
posing. this fact and fighting against large
operations here than there is in making
war against the construction Of railroads,
because it takes large capital to build
them. E
The idea which you intend to convey.
when you speak of 'raiding the forests .
| is that they have taken unlawful methods
and have fraudulently acquired title to
these lands. Well, 1 have handled about
as many lands as any one person In this
country. 1 have had special and particular
experience in purchasing lands in the two
! districts in California, against which there
was the most complaints concerning
| fraudulent nsactions. I wish to say
| that do not now, nor have possessed
an acre of land that was obtained by any
| fraudulent transactions. And taking these
repeated mistatements and misrepresent
ations, where have been opera ting, a.
a criterion to judge by, and. the fact tina
no fraud has been proved there or else
| where, as far as l know, in fact, much
less showing than YOU would naturally ex
! pect In the administration of any law per
tanning to property subject to publi
handling or even private handling, con
