it was decided to let Robert. one OF
his attendants, wear it. William N.

a confidential statement made TO his
Japanese attendant. was keeper OF

equal to the dignity that was his. In
his capacity Of valet he preceded the
party to the palace assigned to them,
and discovered there abundance OF
wines and spirits. which he consumed
until they arrived. He was found
asleep in the kings bed chamber. with
the silk hat far down over his head
and the gorgeous cloak askew on his
shoulders. He was at once deposed
from his Office Of groom Of the feath-

CHAPTER v.-continued.

For such a stroke there was no
parry. Canute threw his shield be-
fore him, but the blade cleft wood and
iron and golden plating like parch-
ment, and falling on the horses neck,
bit 1t to the bone. Rearing and plung-
Ing with pain, the animal crashed into
those behind him. missed his footing
and fell. entangling his rider in the
trappings. Bending over him, the
Ironside struck again.
But the son of Lodbrok had still
his left arm. Bearing his shield, it
shot out over the body of his king.
The falling brand bit this screen also,
and Topped off the hand that held it,
but the respite was sufficient. In a
flash Canute was on his feet, both
hands grasping the hilt of his high
flung sword.
1t was mighty blow, but it fell
harmless. A sudden surge in the tide
of struggling bodies swept the Iron
sides out of reach and engulfed him
in whirlpool of Danish swords. He
laid about him like mad, and was like
to have cleared passage back, when
second wave carried him completely
from view.
Canute cursed at the anxious faces
that surrounded him. What means it,
this swaying? Who are flying?"
"The English" beloved Rothgar.
''The English are fiying-Edmund's s
head! Yonder!"
Frode's daughter had Viking blood,
but she hid her face with cry. There
it was, high upon a spear-point, drip
ping, CHASTITY. Could the sun shine
upon such a thing?
To stare before him, Rothgar let
the blood pour unheeded from his
wounded arm. "Yonder Edmund rides
now!" he gasped. You can tell him
by his size Yonder! Now he is

Ban on American Dentists.

The Supreme Court of Germany has
rendered an opinion that the title Of
doctor conferred by American dental
colleges Is not to be recognized in
Germany, constituting a violation Of

HUNGER KILLS A V0HAN'S AFFECTION
she Alleges That Ffer Wealthy Husband Allowed Her
Only Fifty Cents MontI, Spending Money.

Judge Jones Of the state circuit court
in Sioux Falls, after a trial extending
over several days, has rendered a de-
cision in the divorce case of Della
Whitman VS.. Joseph H. Whitman, a
real estate dealer of Sioux Falls, who
is reputed to be worth about 100000.
The plaintiff is now a resident Of
Chicago, DR.. Burroughs, well-known
physician of that city, being her
brother.
The suit was one of the most stoutly
contested divorce cases ever tried in
the local court. Mrs. Whitman herself
took the witness stand She testified
in substance that Whitman was miser-
ly, and that although he was a wealthy
man he never gave her mbore than SO
cents to 81 a month for spending
money.
She testified that. she loved her hus-
band when she married him, but had
not an atom Of affection for him now
When asked how long her love lasted,
she said:
'Well, it didn't last long. Starvation
soon drove love out Of the door"
In the course of her testimony she
stated that an attempt had bene made
poison her. She alleged that on one
occasion she was abducted and taken
into the country at the instance Of ner
husband, where she was strapped to
bed and men tried to force her to take
poison with the object of getting her
out OF the way.

In Western South Dakota the north
fork of the Cheyenne river has consid-
cradle food discharge and is subject to
sudden rises caused by rains. If the
floods could be impounded all the agri-
cultural land along its course could be
reclaimed, but there is little oppor-
tunity for storage. Possibly 10000
acres could be reclaimed on both sides
OF the river with reservoirs of sufficient
cvapacity Only one reservoir was
found. on Pass creek, above the Bur-
i1ngton railroad. Those on Dry creek
and Moss agate creek are Of small ca
pacity.
Lower on the south fork of the Chey-
enne, 10000 acres Of bench land might
be reclaimed by dam seventy feet
high, covering about 1000 acres and
backing the river I'D seven Or eight
miles. 1t is good site, and with
plenty Of sandstone in sight. but the
cost would probably be excessive.
N inc western part Of the state two
possible reservoir sites were found on
French creek. which would water
about 1900 acres Of land. On Battle
creek there is one, three miles west of
Hermosa, under which there are about
70 GOO acres Of land in private owner
snip. One at Spring Canyon pass, on
Spring creek, would water about co.
coo acres OF land. One above Rapid, on
Rapid creek, Is unavailable because all
the land Is cultivated and occupied by
the Indian school. The water in Rapid
Creek canyon can probably be diverted
by canal ten miles long to reservoir
on Boxelder creek, on which a dam
could be constructed near Black Hawk,
covering 1000 acres, which would wa
ter large quantity of land
On Elk creek there is a possible res
ervoir about three miles below Pied

the ground of desertion. Whitmas was

and the defendant, while willing for
the divorce to be granted, was opposed
to the decree being granted on these
grounds.
Several months ago, after the d.
vorce suit had been Instituted, Mrs.
Whitman created a sensation by coming

curing her little son, who was in the

two women completely deceived Whit

and Mrs. Whitman was compelled to
return the child to him.

farmers in many other portions of
South Dakota will experiment on q
small scale this season with winter
wheat
One incentive which leads the farm
ers OF the state to take an interest in
winter wheat is that it natures from
three to four weeks earlier than the
spring variety, and thus would be out
OF danger before the setting in of the
customary excessively hot weather
which South Dakota experiences dur
ing the latter part of June and fore
part OF July.
The farmers who will experiment
with winter wheat have been very
careful In selecting seed, and expect
their experiments to result success
fully.
