he announcement that Senator
Penrose of Pennsylvania. has INTRO
duced a bill for the preservation OF the
English language Is sure hot one
right off the bat. The general impress

when 1t came to handing out the Eng
lish language in q manner that was
dead right we were pretty fly guys
Not only the preservation, but ne am
plification Of the English language has
always been the long suit Of the Amer
lean people, and no matter how fast
new punches of It were sprung, we are
always dead next In a minute. What
the Senator's game is we can't see
from here, but we can give him quiet
tip that we're for the English language
from soda to hook, and that II we can
give him a lift at this graft he won't
find any Of US with cold feet. That is,
of course, IL it's a straight deal and he
really wants to do the right thing by
the lingo that we are all so proud OF.
But IL It's anything else he wants to
keep his eyes peeled. We've a hunch
that any man who tries to monkey
with our mother tongue for political
purposes is going to get in the neck
all he has got coming to him. We OF
Indiana, where, perhaps. In politics
and literature, we use as much English
language per capita as in any other
neck Of woods In the country, certainly
won't stand for anything that gives
the language the heavy end Of the log.
II there is anything We are touchy
about It is our English. and whether
1t is being used for the hot air Of
political gabfest. or the perfectly love-
ly resolutions Of the Local Council OF
Women, We want It kept straight and
used without any marks on the deck,
and It will never lack for gang of
husky gays to see that II doesn't get
the worst Of 1t. Us for Englisa, pure

had begun to think less If Louison and
more Of Louise. In truth, one face had
faded q little in my memory; the other,
somehow, had grown clearer and
sweeter, as If by light borrowed
from the soul behind IL. Now that
saw Louison, her splendid face and
figure appealed to me with all the
power Of old. She was quick, viva
cious, subtle, cunning, aware and
proud Of her charms, and ever making
the most Of them. ShG, ah, yes, she
could play with man for the mere
pleasure Of victory-if she were not in
love with him. This type Of woman
had no need Of argument to make me
feel her charms. With her the old doubt
had returned to me; for how long? I
wondered. Her sister was quite her
antithesis-thoughtful, slow, serious,
even-tempered. frank, unconscious OF
her beauty, and with that wonderful
thing, q voice tender and low and
sympathetic and full Of an eloquence
I could never understand, although
felt 1t to my finger-tips. 7 could not
help loving her, and, indeed, what man
with any life in him feels not the
power Of such q woman? That morn
ing, on the woods-pike, reduced tbs
problem to its simplest terms: the
one was q physical type, the other
spiritual.
"M'sieur le Capitaine." said Louison,
as I rode by the carriage, what be-
came of the tall woman last night?"

Afraid of me! Why?"
"Well, l understand that you boxed
her ears shamefully."
A merry peal Of laughter greeted my
words.

harsh" said Louise, soberly.
"I could not help 1t; she was an ugly
awkward thing" said Louison. II

"And 1t seems you called her a

''She was an Amazon-like the counts

Poor thing! she could not help II"
said Louise.
WELL" said Louison, with sigh Of
regret, "if ever see her again I shall
give her a five-franc piece"
There was a moment Of silence, and
she broke 1t.
81 hope, this afternoon, you will let
me ride that horse" said she.

"And it is-?"
THAT you will let ne ride yours at

"Your father" I repeated. "He is
now at the chateau"
"Heavens!" said Louison.
What will he say?" said the bar
oness.

Louise, clapping her hands.
We were out of the woods now, and
could see the chateau in the uplands.

outlet for her energies and by e. grand
war, say for Constantinople, might
rouse to crusading height the enthusi-
asm Of her masses. Unless Russia ac-
tually broke up into some form Of fed
eral state, which is hardly within the
range Of political possibilities, any
government Of Russia, whatever the
name of the dynasty or whatever the
form OF its constitution, must desire to
feorganiZe the army and to obtain
something Of that military prestige
without which armies are only collec-
tions Of men In uniform.
Men talk glibIy enough Of the grand
financial crash which might follow any
revolution IN Russia, but how many
millions were there In the treasury Of
the terrorists or Of the directory which
followed them when they commenced
the conquest Of the states around
France, and when Napoleon, oppressed
by the national poverty as well as by
his own ambition, declared his inten-
tion to make war support war; and to
relieve rather than exhaust the nation

anarchy I'm Russia might not destroy
her strength except for short period.

French nervous excitability; much also
Of that craving for external repute

CHAPTER XIV.

There was a dignity in the manneN
Of M. de Lambert to me formidable
and oppressive. 1t showed in his tall.
erect figure, his deep one, his silvered
hair and mustache. There was q
merry word between the kisses of one
daughter; between those of the other
only tears and broken murmur.

greeted him, 81 dc love you-but /

We rode slowly, and for time no word

The merry hearted girl beside me was

never an hour Of autumn in her life.

marquis, smiling.

SOUTHERN FAST MAIL.
Opposition In the House to It's Con.
tinuance.

tinuauCc.
The Southern fast mail will continue
to run, says W. w. Price. the we'll
known Washington correspondent In
a letter to the Greenville News. The
proposition, when It was before the
house last week for consideration, car
ried by bigger margin than ever be-
fore, and yet 1t was antagonizei by the
very people whose constituents are
most interested In It. Representatives
Finley and Scarborough, Of the South
Carolina delegation, voted against 1t.
Representative Johnson answered
present" but was paired against the
bill. 1t was stated and shown In the
house that the Southern fast mail, for
which the sum of about s1S0.000 is APP
propriated, carries the mail to the
south from FIVE to twelve hours faster
than any service that has ever before
been given, according to how far south
It is. For South Carolina 1t Is about
five hours quicker. It was further
shown that where there are twenty
mail trains out Of Washington for the
north every day there is only a half
dozen to the south. It was althorita-
lively stated that the fast mail service
would be discontinued unless the ap-.
preparation was continued. And yet
members voted against the service
through whose very districts 1t passed.
They seemed to look at 1t az a pure
gift to the Southern railway, instead OF
a purely business proposition In which
the service rendered was distinctly ad-
ditional and beyond the usual mail SER
vice.
Today I asked Representative Row
ers, one Of the leading members OF the
Mississippi delegation, how he account
ed for this opposition to the measure
by the members of the house the in
terests of whose constituents demand
ed that they ought to be for 1t. He
replied:
"Oh, 1t is simply this way: There
are some men who are unable to see
the difference between a pure subsidy
and a legitimate payment for service
rendered. They cannot get 1t into their
minds that it is an additional service
and one that could not be had but for
the appropriation. They are SO AFRAID
of being regarded as subsidized them
selves that they cannot see the matter
in any other light. Therefore, instead
of voting for a measure that means
great dea' to the south they are always
ready to antagonize it. If they could
get It into their heads that the govern
ment is 5ust appropriating this money
for an extra, additional and unusual
service I believe they would be In
line. Why they cannot see so plain
fact do not know.
Moreover, these members will work
with all the might in them to get an
appropriat ton of a like amount Tor
public building in their district, where
It benefits probably three or four thou
sand people, and at the same time VIII
refuse to vote for the continuation OF
this service which Is the best the south
has ever had"

"And you-you have been in love?''
Desperately" l answered, clinging
by the inger-tips. Somehow we kept
drifting into fateful moments when a
word even might have changed all that
has been-our life way, the skies above
us, the friends we have known. our
loves. our very souls.
She turned, smiling, her beauty
flashing up at me with power quite
irresistible. I shut my eyes moment,
summoning all my forces. There was
only a step between me and-God
knows what!
Captain, you are foolish fellow"
said she. with a little shudder. "And
well, I am cold. Parbleu! feel my
hand"
She had drawn her glove quickly,
and held out her hand, white and beau
tiful, a dainty finger in gorget OF
gems. That little cold. trembling
hand seemed to lay hold Of my heart
and pulled me to her. AS my lips
touched the palm felt its mighty
magic. Dear girl! wonder II she
planned that trial for me.
I'VE must-ride-faster. You-you
are cold," stammered.
She held her hand so that the sun
light flashed on the jewels, and looked
down upon 1t proudly.
"Do you think 1t beautiful?" she
asked.
Eyes, and wonderful" I said. "But.
mark me, 1t Is all a sacred trust-the
beauty you have"
"Sacred?"
More sacred than the power Of
kings" said.
"Preacher!" said she, with smile.
"You should give yourself to the

"But do not be sad. Cheer up. dear

method of destroying same in the city

Mr.. Coffin is one of Iowa's energetic
young men, being at the age of q, and
whose home is in this city. He was a
member of the party sent to the Ba-
han1as Islands, two years ago, by
the Geographical Society of Baltimore.
in charge of DR.. George Shnttuck, to
make a scientific survey. While maxi
ing the tour of the islands Mr.. Coffin
found seventeen different varieties Of
malarial mosquitoes. He has also stud
led the characteristics of these insects,
under the direction of DR.. L. O. How
ard, of the head of the bureau of en- :
tomology in Washington, and is, there
fore, considered good authority on that
subject They will begin to show them
selves as soon as the weather gets
warmer. The late fall mosquitoes Ii :
bernate and live over until next sum-
mer. Some of the females after ex-
tracing human blood, become full ana
then lay their eggs and die, while 9TH
ers live longer.
There are two classes of mosquitoes,
the common kind, called genus culex.
and the malarial variety, called genus
anophilis The germ Of malaria de-
velops in the latter. though every ma
larial mosquito we find will not nee.
essarily give us malaria.
Thru an Investigation during his va
cation last summer Mr.. Coffin found
traces of the dangerous insects in
Iowa. The malarial variety, he claims,
is easy to recognize. In the first place
1T does not light on a spot like an or
binary mosquito, then again, its wings
have quite distinctive spots or specks
on them. He has found that there
are four stages of the mosquito regard
ing relation to posterity-the egg, the
larvae, pupa and adult-and that they
are most easily destroyed in the lar
vac stage.
