The King commanded him to leave
the room, and again resumed his play.

mans word goes for naught in King
Charles court. But your Majesty, if
l have your permission, l will tell
you my reason, or rather my mission
in London"
He nodded. Having successfully
demonstrated his object lesson he was
in a good humor.
MY father, you already know, is
Lord Waters of Long Haut, and was
Master of the Bed Chamber to

The King frowned, and I thought it
best to get to the very gist of what
| had to tell at once without any pref
acing.
THE two beings he held dearest in
life were His Majesty King Charles 1
and his young wife. One night-it
was the night of the 10th of January,
1639-being stationed in an anteroom

The King took it daintily, rather

"A forgery, as you say" I said.
"and so Lord Waters. my father, in
his later years came to think. but not
at the time. The artlessness of the
page, young Kenneth, son of old Sir
Longville Che is dead, so nothing can
be proved) and the King knowing he
was on duty out of the way, all tended
at the time to lend confirmation to
the deed. Lord Waters questioned
the page. He told him that he had
made a mistake, and handed him an
other note, which proved to be merely
a message from the King sending him
upon a mission that should take him
from the court for few days. AS he
was delivering a cutting reproof to
the careless page before letting him
go, he saw something in the fellows
face that made him stop and ask him
to whom he was to deliver the other
note? The page stammered and ap-
peared so confused that Lord Waters
was determined to be answered. His
hand was not light and he soon knew
what he feared. 1t was intended for
Lady Waters, the page confessed.

would have wished, however" I ha-
stened to say, "else the war had been

How so?" he asked.

JEFFRlES WILL RETIRE.
Heavyweight Champion Means to En-
gage in the Mining Business.

Cincinnati. May flames j. JEFF
fries, champion heavyweight pugilist,
will retire from the prize ring and
from the stage and go into business
with his brother Jack in California,
according to a statement made by him
to-day. He will leave the stage May
18th, arrangements having been made
to cancel all engagements after that
date. Jeffries takes this action at the
request of his wife. In addition to
this, Jeffries says that pugilism does
not pay.
Immediately after his present weeks
engagement in Cincinnati, in the role
of 'Davy Crockett" Jeffries will go to
Chicago and fill an engagement of one
week there. This will be his last pub
lie appearance. One week from next
Monday in Chicago, is the time set
by him for his permanent retirement
as a fighter and an actor.
81 may possibly take a summer trip
to Europe with my wife, after which |
am going into the mining business
with my brother Jack, and | shall here
after devote my time to it. The prin-
clpal reason for my retiring from the
ring and from the stage is that my wife
objects. That has been the controlling
influence in my reaching this determ-
ination. l have decided to quit fight
ing for all time. The last fight | had
in San Francisco was fairly well pa
trOnized, and although l won the big
end of the purse, there was but little
in it for me. | have determined, along
with my wife, that it is not worth
while to go into the ring any more.
The public is tickle. | am well pro
vided with this worlds goods, and
am done with it all. Billy Delaney is
also well fixed and he will retire from
the business with me. When my en-
gagement ends in Chicago, one week
from next Monday, ! shall make my
bow as public character and shall
never again &C either on the stage or
into the prize ring"

Course in Agriculture.

The state board of agriculture is
endeavoring to introduce in the reg
ular curriculum of the high schools OF
Colorado short course in agriculture.
The plan is now being put in operation
in modest way in the high schools
OF Mont7ose and Delta and members
of the faculty of the State Agricul-
tural College have been engaged to
give a short course of lectures at these
schools in May, occupying about a
weeks time.
The program for these courses will
include lecture by Professor Carlyle
on live stock, Professor w. H. Olin
will talk on farm work and Miss Prem
dergast will instruct the girls In do
mestic science.
Educators OF the state will be much

Lambs for California Market.

Colorado will soon begin to slaugh-
ter lambs for the California market.
Official confirmation of this an.
nouncement will not be given until
every arrangement for shipment has
been made, but increased facilities at
the Denver packing houses and the
employment of 100 or more men at
these plants will shortly proclaim the
fact that the Colorado stock raising
and packing interests are at last de.
terminedly fighting the meat trust on
all questions.
Until now Colorado lambs have
been fattened in this state, on alfalfa
in the north and recently on peas in
the San Luis valley, and then shipped
East. The animals have been slaugh-
tered in Kansas City and Chicago and
then shipped to the Pacific coast.
Now comes the move to slaughter
fat lambs at the Denver packing
houses and ship them direct to Cali
fornia. The profit, it is understood,
will be large. The enterprise has not
heretofore been feasible because of
the control the beef trust has had over
the railroads. The larger Eastern in
terests have been able to buy Colo.

and then send the refrigerated stock

can be shipped to California and other

since January to-day. They were
quoted at 25 cents for pearls and 80

Thirty carloads are leaving the Gree

1t is estimated that 1000 carloads of
first-class potatoes are still in the Gree
ley district, and that there will be no
trouble in placing these on the market
within few weeks. The inferior po
tatoes have been used in feeding stock
and for making starch at the factory
here, which is using 600 sacks day.

His hand slid to his sword.

Fore God! I'll kill you then" he
growled venomously.

My name being called, turned my
back upon him and walked to the
room where l was to have my inter

Raoul Dwight a knife then and no
one been about l doubt not but that
l should have felt it between my
shoulders.
His Majesty sat surrounded by his
dogs, pulling the ears of one, slapping
another over the nose with his lace
kerchief, chiding yet another who
would be too fond. Doing thus he
kept me standing, inwardly chafing at
the delay.
At last, tired of this play, he con-
descended to speak; before doing SO,
however, he gave tie dog nearest him
vicious twist of the ear, which sent
him yelping back of his masters
chair.

doubtable Quentin Waters, son of that
renegade Lord Waters of Long Haut,

He looked at me long with heavy
frown on his thin face. Not an aus
