alone here with the hermit, I'll go
with you up the Moosehorn and show
you that cabin. 1t may not be occu-

When morning came, Officer Scott
proved himself worthy of respect by
accepting Martins word, and keeping
away from the hermit

Martin, land We hope to get him out Of
the woods and back to Greenvale and
his daughter. If We can't coax him
to go, am nonplused, and we may

contrived to live here winter after

The new plan of Martins going away
met old Cy's approval.
'Amzi and me, is gittin' real chum-

It was a pleasant picture of wood
life, but it failed to relieve Martins
mind much, or show him q way to Sc
cure Angles inheritance. It set him to
thinking, however, on what would be
gained after all by the return Of this
childish hermit to Greenvale, and
would Angie be made the happier by
it? 1t was a question, and one hard to
solve. So far as the law went, deed,
and all necessary legal papers, could be
signed and witnessed here. 1t was too
soon to propose that now, but it must
be kept in mind.
II am going to leave Jean here to
hunt for you and AMI while I'm gone,"
Martin said to old Cy,' when ready to
depart with the officers; che can get
you one or two deer to cure for winter
use, and may decide to let you stay
here after all. When the right time
comes, show AMI the two pictures of
Angie and take good care of him.

EASILY-MADE BARREL SLED.
runners, says Michigan farmer In
Farm and Home, are made of two-by-
six-inch pieces. The CROSS pieces, a,
are tWO-inch boards mortised into
runners to give added strength. To
prevent the barrel from moving off
the sled in passing over uneven
ground, blocks are cut from two-by-
four pieces and joined on the cross
pieces of the sled in such way that
they will fit snugly about the bottom
OF the barrel. The longer blocks
should be hewn or sawed out to make
a neat-ftting job. This sled is very
useful about the farm where light
hauling not requiring more than one
horse is done.

NEW MEDAL OF HONOR.
Correspondence Which Resulted in It's

Acting Secretary Oliver of the War De-

the correspondence between Gen. Horace
Porter. former ambassador to Paris and
Major General Gillespie. U. s. A. retired.
formerly assistant chief of staff. which re-
suited in the adoption by the War Depart

TO HEAD NEW SUBWAY
PERSISTENT RUMoR ABOUT EN-
GINEER VILLAGES FUTURE.
Report in New York That Panama
Work Will Revert to Army
Engineers.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 27.-That John F. Wal
lace. engineer of the Panama canal. who
rendered his resignation to Secretary Taft
last Sunday. for presentation to President
Roosevelt. Is to become the head Of the
Metropolitan Railway Company's new sys-
tenn Of subways is the persistent rumor to-
day.
Another report that has gained credence
in some quarters is that William Barclay
Parsons will be asked to accept the Inn
portant post left vacant by Mr.. Wallace.
A new reason for Mr.. Wallace's leaving
the canal work has been given in that he
was the recipient Of $4,000 a year by a
private corporation. His salary from the
government was only $4,000. This. added
to the belief in some quarters that he will
go to the Metropolitan subways, has been
taken to indicate that Mr. Wallace was
influenced by other things besides the fric-
ton over the question of authority that
arose between him and Mr.. Taft.
Secretary Taft went to Cambridge yeSter-
day afternoon to confer with the President.
and 1t is believed that the question of the
selection of the new chief engineer was dis
cussed. This will be the last time Mr..
rotary of War goes to the Philippines with
a party of statesmen and prominent citi-
Zens. and 1t Is thought that the necessity of
selecting chief engineer at once is felt by
both.
The report is gaining ground that the
canal construction work will be turned over
TO the army engineering officers.

ST. PETERSBURG. June 2S-At Great

SUES FOR ACCOUNTING.
Deal in Land Scrip-share of Profits is
Sought

A suit in equity for an accounting was
today filed by Robert A. Fennell against
Frederick w. McReynolds. The complai.r'
ant alleges that he Is engaged In buyirs
and selling United States land scrip and
that deft n!ant is engaged in the same busl-
ness; that last March he received an order
from a customer In Minnesota for certain
amount of Valentine scrip, and. not having
any on hand, he asked the defendant TO
fill the order offering to divide equally the
profits accruing.
The defendant shipped scrip for 100 acres
to the customer. Mr.. Fennell charges, and
was paid for it. but refused to dfvulge the
amount received for it by him and refuses
to divide the alleged profits.
1t Is charged in the bill that without no
tice to the comp lainant. and after state
ment to the complainant of his inability to
fill the order, the defendant procured scrip
for about ], 2SO acres and delivered same to
the customer In Minneapolis and received
more than $50 per acre for the scrip. The
court is asked to decree a discovery OF the
profits on the alleged transactions and TO
require Mr.. McReynolds to pay to COM
plainant a just share OF them.

Special CabIegram to The Star.
PARIS. June 2s.-The impression In dip
lomatic circles regarding the tenor OF the
German reply Is that, while Germany is stu
insisting upon a conference. she no longer
ignores the agreement to Morocco be-
tween Frapce. England and Spain.
There IS little doubt that il Germany shall
modify further its attitude to a full accept
ance of this agreement the conference will
be easily arranged. 1t would. however. be
scarcely more than farce. and the prin-
cipal object In holding 1t would be to save
Germanys face
This point has. however. not been reached
yet. and while much hope is based upon
Germanys more friendly position. it cannot
yet be assumed that the crisis has passed.
