WHERE DOES DECAYED BAYLUS
COME IN?
&c. Ellington on an Interesting Feature
of South Dakota Suit.

Col. f. A. Olds. of this city, has sent
out in his correspondence to State papers
the following interview with Road Sup
j. C. Ellington, formerly State
To-day ex-state Lbrarian Ellington
shed a rather bright light on one feature
of the South Dakota bond suit. He said
that in the summer of 1901 at Morehead
City that he heard Rev. Dr. Baylus Cade
who had been Governor Russells private
secretary telling all about the plan to
sue on the bonds. DR.. Cade spoke about
the examinations in the state Treasury
which led to the discovery that there were
York, held them. The intimation was
that DR.. Cade and Governor Russell were
gcing to collect the money for these bonds
out of the State, Dr. Cade stating that
over half a million dollars was involved
ard the Democratic party would have to
suffer whatever odium there was The
question now is, Where did DR.. Cade come
in? In the hearing of the bond matter
Before a referee here. Governor Russell
was asked some questions, but many which
were not asked him were really important
lie acknowledged, however, that he had
matter The State had witness, ex-
Clerk Denmark, of the State Treasury,
on hand ready to be put on the stand,
but he was not put on. A coed many
persons have never understood why
more questions were not asked eX-Gov-
ernor Russell at that hearing. AS nearly
as the state Treasurer can figure, about
$3.50 600 of the bonds issued July 1, 1867,
are outstanding. all of these being in the
hands of Schaefer, except the $4,000
which he put in the hands of South Dako-
la. through his agents. There are now
outstanding enough bonds to require $780,
coo of per cent bonds to take them up
under the sale of Is cents. % cents and
40 cents There are also % bonds of the
G per cent class, which are supposed to
lie lost as these are redeemable at their
face value. State Treasurer Lacy says
that very few bonds are now registered.
During the first six months Of his term
more were registered than during the six
years of Treasurer Worth's administra-
ton, but since that time very few have
been registered. Perhaps 100000 will
cover the whole amount registered. It
really appears strange that these bonds
are not registered

every 1000 of the population of the
city of London is homeless.
A census of the persons who could
not pay for nights lodging In the
cheapest of lodging houses and passed
the night out of doors in the streets,
or under arches, or in the recesses of
front doors, or on landings and stair
cases of tenements where the doors
had been left open. revealed such a
number in certain district that the
officer felt justified in making the esti-
mate presented to the council. On
the night this investigation was un-
dertaken there were 5000 vacant beds
in the lodging houses.-New York

lishman. even though you have been
hindered in the giving of it," he said
politely.
Standing there, watching the young
noble advance, it seemed to Randalin
that there was not room between her
heart-beats for her breathing. How
soon would no look up and know her?
How would his face change when he
did? Presently it occurred to her to
suspect that he had already recog-
nized her-perhaps from the doorway
and in her rush of relief at the idea
of the shock being over, she found
even an impulse of playfulness. Bor-
rowing one of Elfgiva's graces, she
swept back her rustling draperies in
ceremonious courtesy before him.
Again he bent in his bow of stiff
embarrassment; but he did not meet
her glance even then, returning his
gaze, soldier-like. to the king.
The awkwardness of the pause
seemed to afford Canute a kind of
mischievous amusement, for all the
courtesy in which he yelled 1t. His
voice was almost too cheerful as he adj
dressed the Etheling. Now as always

His glance sharpened little as he
pronounced those last words. and the
girls hands clasped each other more
lightly as she perceived the snare in
the phrase. If the Etheling should
answer unheedingly or obscurely. so
that it should not be made quite clear
to the king
But it appeared that the Etheling
was equally anxious that Canute
should not believe him the lover Of
Frode's daughter. His reply was dis
tinct to bluntness: Part of your
guess is as wrong as part of it is
right, king Of the Danes. Certainly
came here with no thought of evil
toward you, but neither had I any
thought soever of the Lady Randalin.

On the verge of an angry retort, Sc
bert paused to regard him, a suspicion
darting spark-life through his mind.
Did the Jotuns words smack of jeal-
ousy? 1t was true that 1t needed not
that to explain their bitterness. and
yet What more natural than that
the kings foster-brother should love
the kings ward? If it was so, 1t was
small wonder the girl had said that he
would STAY her when he discovered
her unfaithfulness. Unfaithfulness!
Sebert started. Had she not in that

only did he love her. but she must
have returned his affections. The
spark of suspicion fiared into a flame.

glanced at the warrior beside him, at
