MAY LEAVE OUT WARD
One Member OF Game Commission Who
May Not Be Reappolnted.

When Governor Van SAINT reappoints the
state game and fish comm ission he may
forget to reappoint Beecher II. Ward Of
Fairn1ont. who was named last January
TO succeed w. P. Hill. The relations be-
tween Mr.. Ward and the rest of the com
mission are not of the most cordial Soon
after his appointment the Farmont man
came to st. Paul and spent several days
with friends in the legislature. He pre-
sented a bill for expenses, including a bill
of $685. from swell restaurant and SIS
for incidental expenses" Two other bills
brought his account UP to $136. Execu-
tive Agent Fullerton declined to honor the
bill. and told Mr. Ward that any expense
Of that sort he would have to foot himself.
1t is alleged that from that time on the
newly appointed member of the commits
sion went abroad making charges of crook
edness, and on his allegations that things
were rotten in the affairs of the COM
mission, the legislative investigation was
started. AS is well known, this inveSti-
CATION absolutely cleared the commissions;
but the investigation. and the way 1t came
up. do not leave the members in any
friendly frame of mind toward their col

widow of small farmer, was remark

testimony bore hard upon the pris-

CHAPTER lv.-(continued.)
A ROMANCE OF NEW YORK
BY AMELIA E. BARR


There was something SO frank and
persuasive about the elegant stranger
that Joris could not refuse the cour
tesy she asked for. herself and hel
nephew. And, having yielded, he
yielded with entire truth and conf
dence.
Elder Semple was greatly pleased
at his friends complaisance. He gave
Joris full credit for his victory over
his national prejudice. and he did his
very best to make the concession
pleasant event. In this effort ne was
greatly assisted by Mrs. Gordon. She
set herself to charm Van Heemskirk,
as she had set herself to charm Ma
dam Van Heemskirk on her previous
visit, and she succeeded so well, that
when "Sir Roger de Coverley" was
called, Joris rose, offered her his hand
and to the delight of every one pres
ent, led the dance with her.
1t was little triumph for the elder.
Indeed, he was SO interested in listen
ing to the clever way in which the
bonnie woman flattered Van Heems-
kirk that he was quite oblivious OF
the gathering wrath in his sons face,
and the watchful gloom in Bran s
eyes, as the two men stood together,
jealousy observant of Capt. Hyde's
attentions to Katherine. Without any
words spoken on the subject, there
was an understood compact between
them to guard the girl from any pri-
vate conversation with him; and yet
two men with hearts full of suspicion
and Jealousy were not match for one
man with heart full of love. In
moment, in the interchange OF their
hands in a dance, Katherine clasped
tightly a little note. and unobserved
hid 1t behind the rose at her breast.
The loving girl thought it no wrong
to put it there; she even hoped that
some kind of blessing or sanction
might come through such sacred keep
ing, and she went to sleep whispering
to herself:
Happy | am. Me he loves; me he
loves; me only he loves; me forever
he loves."

Youths 1urnIno TO Crime.

Youths Turning to Crime.
The startling statement is made in
Minneapolis that of the forty-one pris-
oners in the Hennepin county Jail,
not one is above twenty-three years
OF age. The condition that brings
about this state of affairs is worth in
quiriug into. A Hennepin county
Judge commenting upon the situa-
ton says that he believes the increase
of crime among young men is due
to their being forced out of many
sources of employment by girls. The
one thing certain is the fact that
there are more young men occupying
cells in jails and penitentiaries than
there were few years ago, and it
behooves those persons who interest
themselves in criminology to inquire
into the conditions that have brought
about this increase in the criminal
tendencies OF young men.

The War Of corpuseIes.

The war between the white corpus

of disease was first described by the
Russian pathologist Metchnikoff.
While devoting himself to the study
of infiammations he in each case
noted the presence Of white cells in
the blood currents In abnormal num-
bers. Inside these white cells he In
variably found the specific microbe
Of the disease under consideration

were devouring the poisonous mi
crobes. sometimes the number taken
up by a corpuscle was too great and
it died as a result. II this overcom-

your servant, captain. Is there
any thing can oblige you in. sir?"
Joris asked the question because
the manner Of the young man struck
him as uneasy and constrained; and
he thought. Perhaps he has come to
borrow money" He was not, there
fore astonished when Capt. Hyde
answered.
Sir, you can, indeed. oblige me,
and that in matter of the greatest
moment"
''If money it be. captain, at once l
may tell you, that borrow not. and
lend not"
Sir. it is not money-in particu.

"So?"
1T is your daughter, Katherine"
Then Joris stood up, and looked
steadily at the sultor. His large
amiable face had become in mo-
ment hard and stern; and the light
in his eyes was like the cold, sharp
light that falls from drawn steel.
MY daughter is not for you to
