There was the gen. tie rustic of a woman's dress. 1 had closed the slit between the curtains as Mifverton's face had turned in our d. rection, but now ventured very care fully to open 1t once more. He had re- stunned his seat, the cigar still project ing at an insolent angle from the cor ner of his mouth. In front of him, in the full glare of the electric light, there stood tall, slim, dark woman, a veil over her face, mantle drawn round her chin Her breath came quick and fast, and every inch of the 1.-the figure was quivering with strong emotion.
 '.well,' said Milv@ton, you've made me lose good nights rest, my dear I hope you'll prove worth 1t. You couldn't come any other time eh?''
 The woman shook her head.

 The woman, without a word, had raised her veil and dropped the man. tie from her chin. It was a dark, handsome. clear cut face which con- fronted Milverton-a face with a curv- ed nose, strong, dark eyebrows shad- ing hard, glittering eyes, and a straight, thin tipped mouth set in a dangerous smile.

 Milverton laughed, but fear vibrated in his voice. You were so very obsti- nate" said be. Why did you drive me to such extremiries? I put the price well within your means. You would not pay"
 So you sent the letters to my hus- band, and he-the roblest gentleman that ever lived, a man whose boots was never worthy to lace-he broke his gallant heart and died.

 Two new armies came to assist the main force at the battle of Mukden, one marching up to juncture with ei- ther end of the winter line. Nogrs men had only finished the siege at Port Arthur when they had to begin tramp of 200 miles in the cold and windy period of late January and early February.
 A Part of the Japanese Strategy.
 You may hear in Tokyo-as heard when I passed through-how the new army of the east (the Japanese right was sent through Korea in order to give the impression that its destina- tion was Vladivostok By marching around Robin Hoods barn the new ar- my of the east had fooled the enemy completely. It had sprung out of the air on Kuropatkin's left and was doing the work of the battle already in progress. This much you learned in the most confidential way from the gossip of tue capital. The truth is, so far as I can ascertain, that the Jap anese made a great secret of this new army's existence, when as a matter or fact they would have been deeply dis appointed had not Kuropatkin heard all about it through his secret service. Kuropatkin rose to the bait. He thought that the Japanese were trying to turn his left. He sent his reserves to the east, and that was precisely what the Japanese wanted.
 The real secret was to the west, the Japanese left It was simple, as all battle plans are, to wage battle along the whole of the enemy's line. feint on his left and strike on his right.
 On Feb. 20 Nogi was modified in the little town of Shapeiho, about twelve miles west of Liaoyang. The czar was not more carefully watched during the riots in St. Petersburg than
 
 Lees army upon its surrender to Grant. Most of the cavalry at Oyama's command formed screen in front of him from the left of the Japanese works to the bank of the Liao. The Cossacks never penetrated 1t or got around it: DO native took the informa ton to Mukden; Kuropatkin never smelled 6 mouse. The town where Nogi waited was sealed by sabers and carbines But the time was not yet ripe for Nogi 10 advance. When he went it must be rapidly, lest the enc my should be warned and prepare for him.
 The Beginning of the Battle.
 It was the place of the new army of the east to call attention to itself by the first movement of the battle. Its first fight on its advance was at Chin hochen on Feb. g. This was net seri- ous. It kept on advancing on the 24th, 2Jth and 26th, having to meet the enc my in little more than rear guard ac- tiols. By this time IL was on a line with the main positions of the Japa- nese. but between these two points there was g bend in the line toward the southward.
 Here Kuroki's army. which had hith- erto formed the right. was posted Its three divisions were set differing and difficult tasks in pressing forward to relieve any pressure on the new army anl to insure that once Kuropatkln had remorel his reserves to this side

The Trap Closed

But before this the regiments of Ku- roki and Nogi and Nodzu and Oku had dovetailed in crossing the railroad. Thousands of Russians were still in Mukden- Defachments of troops fresh from Europe lost their way. All plan and order ceased with the brain of the army on the other side of the paas.

 One Of Nogi's officers picked up on the field little manual by Kuropatkin himself for the information of his army about Japanese methods of warfare. In this the general says:
 Tn order to conceal the main of their attack the Japanese try demonstra- tion at another part of the line with fewer troops and more guns.

 Kuroki again faced steep slopes with narrow valleys between them. Kuro- patkin, who had been so often fooled by the old foI's work In the hills. was de termined to hold him this time.
 Turning to Nogi, we find him making no advance at all on the fth and 9th. On the 9th he swung a little farther north By this time the expected had happened.

Cotton Yarn Mil.

In another column we print in full
the proposition for the establishment
here of cotton yarn mill, as sub
mitted by Arnold B. Sanford, of
Boston, together with report of the
work so far done and being done to
secure the mill.
From the thorough investigation
made by the committee of the board
of trade appointed for that purpose,
the committee is prepared to state
that in its estimation the industry is a
desirable one, and the investment
likely to prove paying one.
This report puts the matter sharply
up to the people of Ellsworth. Each
must do his or her part toward rails
ing the required sum. While no
subscriptions to stock have yet been
solicited, the verbal promises so
far made are cause for encourage
ment.
Not only Ellsworth, but all neighbor-
ing towns-in fact the entire county
would feel the stimulus of the estab-
lishment here of such mill.
When it is realized that every year
thousands of good dollars are taken
out of Hancock county by agents for
mining and other stocks about which
investors know nothing, and get moth
ing but promises, it is not unreason-
able to hope that the selling of stock
for an industy right here at home can
be accomplished, after careful investi-
cation of Mr.. Sanford's responsibility,
ability and experience, and what SINH
lar mills are doing elsewhere give rea-
sonable assurance that the investment
win be paying one.
On every hand is expressed the
hope that Ellsworth will secure the
mill. The people will be afforded
early opportunity to give concrete
form to this expression in subscrip-
ton to stoek-not a bonus offered to
bring an industry here, be it under
stood, but an investment which
promises to yield fair returns.
VIII we rise to the occasion? We
must, or some morning we win
wake to the sad realization that
the mill has gone elsewhere - that
Ellsworth, dreaming of a cotton yarn
mill, has moved in her sleep without
awaking, and lapsed into deeper
slumber than before.

The President has offered the i'm
portant post of secretary of state to
Elihu Root, and Mr.. Root has ac-
cepted. This brief announcement
from Oyster Bay viii prove an oc-
casion of qualification to the Ameri-
can people who may rest assured that
with the international relations of the
United State in the hands of so able
man as Elihu Root they win be well
safegnarded. The feeling seems to be
unanimous among public men and
many men in private life who keep in
touch with public affairs that the
President and the nation are to be
congratulated on the wisdom Of the
Presidents selection and on the ae-
ceptance of a place at the cabinet
table by Elihu Root. The splendid
work which Mr.. Root performed as
secretary Of war is regarded as a
certain guarantee Of his success as

The Auto Terror .

THE AMERICANS North Penobscot cor
visit there OF B. T. Sowle, of Ellsworth, in
his automobile, says: 'Mr. Sowle is very
| careful driver, and so far has occasioned
no accidents. II all autoists were equally
prudent it would allay much of the wide
spread prejudice that exists in the coun-
try, not without reason, against the auto
mobile.
''It is fact that many ladies in the
country-farmers' wives and farmers
! daughters-who have been accustomed to
ride out for health, pleasure and business
are deprived of this privilege in eonse-
quence of the sudden and possible
presence of the automobile in places that
would absolutely endanger their lives.
The reckless speed of a few sporting
dare-devils who like to have little fun
al the rish-o of human limbs and lives, and
stir up the sleepy hamlet with a little
breezy excitement in way of runsways and
knoekouts, will find their sport limited
and their costly vehicles worthless when
the travelling public becomes thoroughly
aroused. They thus become a menace TO
public travel and an injury to business in
the villages and country towns. In many
places farmers wives and daughters do a
large part of the marketing in busy sea
sons, and to deprive them of this privilege
is to strike at the interest of the tillsr of
the soil.
"Pnblie highways are built to..meet the
necessity and convenience OF the travel
ing public, and should be under such reg
uiations and restrictions as to confer the
greatest good on the greatest number.
This principle obtains in every enterprise,
institution and means of intercourse and
commerce established and carried on by
the government, and any uncommon and
unusual mode OF conveyance which by its
appearance, noise or great speed tends to
brighten ordinarily safe horses, and en-
danger human life, and is not of itself a
great public necessity, is defect in the
way and should be removed. The most
discreet management of the auto is neces-
sary to its assured and continual use in
our country towns"

manner in which he conducted the
affairs relating to the Philippines in
surrection, his broad craftsmanship, as
demonstrated in bis conduct of the
relations of the United States with
Cuba, and his remarkable foresight
and constructive ability as displayed
in his reorganization of the army

all served to demonstrate his ability

The interest in the proposed cotton yarn
mill is not confined to Ellsworth. Our
Surry correspondent writes: 'The people
here are anxiously watching the outcome
of the movement for building a cotton
yarn mill in Ellsworth, as We know it viii
help this town as well as others" And
what is true OF Surry is true of all other
towns in the vi,inity, in fact, of the whole
county. There will be an opportunity for
these towns to help in the effort to bring
the mill here-an opportunity to invest,
with fair prospects OF good returns, in an
industry at home.

The gossiper overheard good and pre-

county speak deprecatingly the other day
of the noisy manner Of celebrating the
Fourth. ''Why so much noise and buster
and waste of money in fireworks?' Why?
If that old patriot in Philadelphia 129
years ago had not rung that bell, our early
morning slnnbers would not now be dis
turbed each Fourth of July by the ringing
bells. II the salute Of thirteen rounds of
cannon and musketry which greet the
reading of the Declaration of Independ-
ence back IN 1776 had never been fired, we
would not burn powder and red fire

many times magnified, of that first great
