F.andalin hesitated. Would it not

But no, that was not possible, in the
face of what Norman might reveal.
She began very, very carefully: 1T

HAS SIMPLE FIRE ESCAPE.
Englishman's Invention Seems to FIJI
Long-felt Want.

An Englishman has devised an in
genious traveling-bag fire escape. 1t
can be made at any trunkmakers for
little more than an ordinary port
manteau of the same kind would cost.
Moreover, the fire-escape part of 1t
does not interfere to any extent with
it's capacity for holding your dress suit,
boots. shirts or other things requisite
for the traveller. In one small COM
partment will be found hundreds OF
feet of fine, light rope used by noun
taineers in the Swiss Alps for roping
themselves together while crossing
glaciers and climbing precipitous ice
slopes. There is also a particularly
ingenious little brake arrangement
and two pairs of steel snap hooks. II
an alarm of fire is given in hotel in
the dead of night and the flames cut
of every means of communication
with the outside the possessor of this
portmanteau simply slips out of bed,
snaps one Set of hooks round the bed
leg or other substantial piece of furni-
ture, and the other set to the sides Of
the portmanteau. This last he then
throws out the window, gets into It
himself. and then lowers himself as
as quickly or as slowly as he pleases
by means Of the brake.

CHAPTER ".
Before the King.

/
| When the curtain had fallen behind
his advisers, the young king threw
| himself back upon his rude high seat
and rested motionless among his cush-
ions, his head hanging heavily upon
| his breast.
Crouching on her bench near the
door, Randalin watched him as a fly
caught in web watches the approach
ing spider. Her eyes followed his
rowing glance from spear to banner,
from floor to ceiling, in terrible antici-
patton. 1t approached her; it turned
aside; it passed above her, hesitated,
sank, touched her! Ashen white, she
staggered to her feet and faced him.
In the Trolls name, who are your"
he calculated. How came you here?"
The pale lips moved, but no sound
came from them.
He made petulant gesture toward
the half-filled goblet. "Why do you
stand there making mouths? Drink
that and get a mans voice into your
throat, if you have anything to say to
me-"
"A mans voice!" The girl stared
at him. "a mans voice." Then, like
lungfuls of fresh air, it entered into
her that she was not really the naked
fledgeling she felt herself She was
in the tolls, surely, but there was a
shell around her. Glad to hide her
face for a moment, she seized the
goblet and drained it slowly to the
last drop.
Leaning back in his seat, the king
took frowning measure of his guest,
from the toe of her spurred riding
boot to the top of the green cap which
she had forgotten to remove. With
her last swallow, he repeated his chal-
lenge.
Are you capable now of giving me
any reason why should not have you
flogged from the camp? Is it your
opinion that because l choose to

it."
did you think you had fallen into
bear pitt" the king asked with a
faint smile, that sharpened swiftly to
bitterness. After all, it would mat
ter little what anyone told Of me.
Without doubt your kin have already
taught you to call me thrall-bred and
witless."
That from the warrior whose foot
was already planted on the neck OF
England In her surprise, Randalin's
eyes met his squarely. BY no means,
King Canute; my father called you
the highest-minded man in the
world"
The young leader flushed scarlet,
flushed till he felt the burning, and
averted his face to hide it. He said
in a low voice, Many things have
been told of me that l count for
naught, but this-this has not been
said of me before. Tell me his
| name"
"He was called Erode, the Dane OF
Avalcomb." The red mouth trembled
a little. HE is dead now. He was
slain last night, by Norman Leof-
winesson. who is Edric Jarl's thane."
AS both horseman and sentinel had
started at that name, so now the
King Strengthened into alertness, for
getting everything else.
"Leofwinesson? What know you of
him or his Jarl? Where are they?
When saw you them?"
Last night; when they lay drunk
in my fathers castle at Avalcomb.
II was spoken among them that they
would join you at sunset to-day"
Canute's hand shot out and gripped
her arm and shook It. You know
this for certain? will have your
tongue II you lie to mel You are
sure that they intend coming-that II
is not their intention to play me false
and return to Edmund?'
Il know what heard them say,
Lord King. They said that Edric
Jarl had marched on to st. Adams
TO lie there overnight Leofwines-
son stopped at Avalcomb because he
wished to vent his spite upon my
father. They will be here before the
sun Is set"

very large number of Mormons among
his constituents, is of a different be-
lief. The senator adds that it is i'm
possible to account for the extraordl-
nary and often incomprehensible
changes in the political attitude OF
Mormons, except upon the hypothe-
sis that they are influenced by divine
revelation When the Democrats are
in power the revelations usually have

dates for office. That was the reason
why Senator Dubois was so insistent
that the investigation of Senator
Smoot should proceed He thought
perhaps some of the witnesses who
are to appear before the committee
would offer a reasonable explanation
of the many lightning political chang
es that have been brought about in
Utah and Idaho through the Mormon
church. The senator may be disap-
pointed, but he hopes he will not be.
The testimony along this line, how
ever, will be directed into channels that
will go to establish the contention
of Mr. Tayler that the divine revela-
ton is as applicable to politics as it is
to other temporal affairs in Utah. It
will be ccntended among other things
that the election Of Smoot was partly
the outcome CT a divine revelation, Or
something akin to- one; that the Nor
mon members of the legislature were
commanded to vote for the apostle, re-
gardless of their party affiliations, and
that they obeyed without word CT
protest. No point will be male of
this, however, for the reason that Mr.
Tayler has 10 means of proving its
accuracy.
Senator Smoot's assertion that the
divine revelation does not bind the
political conscience of a Mormon wiz
be fiercely assalled.

TIE COST OF WAR.

The cost of war and warfare from
1888 t. 1903 Inclusive, says Edward
Atkinson, the we'll known antl-imperI-
alist, has been over $900,O00 .00O. The
2cst OF the war with Spain and Of the
warfare upon the people CT the Phil-
lppine islands to the end OF the last
hSeal year J,ire 50, 1903. had been
ever S50,o00,o00. an addition in that
hseal year 10 the previous charge up-
on the taxpayers OF this country cf not
less than $150,V00.0o0. This charge is
increasing rather thar diminishing.
AT the end of the present year, Decem-
bel 81. 1904, We shall eXpend in war
and warfare mot less than 1920 ,OOO,-
700, which sum will be slightly in ex-
cess of the outstanding bonded debt
:. the United States bearing interest.
OF this sum about $3O0,000 900 is COM
monty assigned to the cost of war
with Spain. There are no exact data
outside the government accounts by
which this can be apportioned.

A WORD FOR PARENTS.

In an article in the April Delineator
on Growing up With Ones Children
which is filled with sensible advise to
mothers, Mrs. Theodore w. Birney
has some excellent remarks about the
treatment of children that are grown.
Many parents will do we'll to take t.,
heart the following paragraph:
There is one thing parents should
recognize: That their children are
growing up and that their authority
as auch grows weaker every Cay,
while their influence wakes stronger
in proportion as their government has
been wise, tender and just. Many a
household is discardant because pa
rents insist upon treating their grown
sons and daughters as though they
were still children. They issue COM
mands, criticize and find fault, for
getting apparently that the season is
practically ended, and, We're it not,
such methods would result in more
narm than coed. | know a family in
Which are tw~ daughters, both past
twenty-five. and son in his thirties;
they seldom. if ever, leave the house
without being questioned as t. where
hey are going, when they will return,
Why they go, why they wear such a
Sa"n@.' Hnstead of some other,
wouldn't they best take an umbrella,
are they warmly or coCliy enough
dressed, as the case may be, &c,
etc. Personal liberty is such pre-
| cis'as possession, and life is so much
sweeter and happier in houaaholUs
when there is mutual confidence and
where trivial personal questions are
es&rded almost as a discourtesy."
