Carduicci, with an Italians vOllblllty,
commenced to hurl imprecations uponi
the heads of the unknown sons of dogs
who dared to tamper with his masters
safe, and while we were engaged in put
ting the scattered papers in order the
doorbell rang, and the clerk went to att
tend to the caller.
In few moments he returned, SAYING:
"The English yacht left suddenly last
night, signore, and the Captain of the
Port has sent to inquire whether You
know to what port she is bound"
"Left" | gasped in amazement
why, I thought her engines were dis
abled!"
A quarter of an hour later | was sit
ting in the private Office of the shrewd,
gray-haired functionary who had sent
this messenger to me.
"Do you know, Signor Commentators"
he said, "some mystery surrounds that
vessel. She is not the Lola, for yester-
day we telegraphed to Lloyd's, in LoIi'
don, and this morning | received IL reply
that no such yacht appears on their
register, and that the name is unknown.
The police have also telegraphed to your
English police inquiring about the
owner, Signor Horribly, with a like re-
suit. There is no such place as Wood
croft Park, in Somerset, and no member
| of Brooks Club of the name of HOrnby."
| sat staring at the official, too
amazed to utter word. Certainly they
had not allowed the grass to grow be-
meath their feet.
UNFORTUNATELY the telegraphic re-
plies from England are only to hand this
morning" he went on, because just be-
fore 2 o'clock this morning the harbor
police, whom specially ordered to watch
the vessel, saw boat come to the wharf
containing a man and woman. The pair
were put ashore, and walked away into
the town, the woman seeming to walk
with considerable difficulty The boat
returned, and an hour after, to the COM
plete surprise of the two detectives,
steam was suddenly got up and the yacht;
turned and went straight out to sea-"
Leaving the man and the woman?"
Leaving them, of course. They are
probably still in the town. The police
are now searching for traces of them"
"But could not you have detained the
vessel?" | suggested.
"Of course, had | but known | could
have forbidden her departure. But as
her owner had presented himself at the
Consulate, and was recognized as a re-
spectacle person, | felt that I could not
interfere without some tangible infOr-
matiOn-and that, alas! has come too
late. The vessel is swift one, and has
already seven hours start of us. I've
asked the Admiral to send out couple
of torpedoboats after her, but, unfortu-
nately, this is impossible, as the fotilla
is sailing in an hour to attend the naval
review at Spezia."
| told him how the Consul's safe had
been opened during the night, and he
sat listening with wide-open eyes.
"You dined with them last night" he
said at last.
"'rhey may have surreptitiously stolen
your keys"
"'rhey may" was my answer. "Prob-
ably they did. But with what motive?o
The Captain of the Port elevated his
shoulders, exhibited his palms, and de-

SUBSCRIPTION S. PER YEAR

Judging from the expressions
of the press over the state the
retirement of the old president
and the old secretary of the state
drainage league is meeting with
widespread approval. The fol
lowing from the Minneapolis
Journal is typical:
G. FL. Warner, as secretary of
the republican state com mittee,
and president of the state drain.
age league, will have his hands
full. The drainage league, how.

tions, and ia j. s. Gold of Grand
Rapids. the new secretary of the
leaeu :, Mr.. Warner will have an
efficient co worker. ..:...
The change of administ, alton
n the drainage league seems to
give satisfaction in the north
country, where the feeling that
Messrs. Bernard and Hays were
misdirecting their energies
finally led to the turning-over at
Wadena.

SMOOTH MIR. BRYAN.

Among other accomplishments
picked up in the last ten years,
W. J. Bryan has learned a few
new wrinkles ia the game of
politics. Was there anything
more polite than the following,
coming as it does from Bryan,
who wants to be president, and
firmly believes that nothing can
prevent him from being the
nominee of the democrats two
years hence. In discussing the
political situation with London
newspaper men a few days ago
Mr.. Bryan said: -
"While I appreciate the in
dorsements of the state conven-
tions, I do not regard it as bind
ing upon them or upon the
parties of their states. I shall
not prosecute them for breach of
promise if they transfer their
affections to another. The party
is entitled to it's most available
man, and the question of avail.
ability cannot be determined so
far in advance. circumstances
and issues may strengthen the
claims of some one of the gentle
men not mentioned and the list
should be an open one until the
time comes to choose.

Nine Men Threaten to Tic Up All
Shipping at Chicago.
Chicago, July 5.-Nine men threaten
to tie up the shipping interests of this
port and it is said that unless they
can be pacified within the next forty
eight hours it is probable that not
single vessel may be able to move out
Of the Chicago river. This will be
due to the fact that it may become
impossible to swing many of the
bridges that are operated by cleo
tricity. The nine men are members
of the Electrical Workers union.
Their pay has been cut down.
Business Agent Charles Bloomfield
of the Electrical Workers union
served notice on the city that the
time had expired wherein his organ
ization insisted that the old rule of
double time for overtime should be
recognized by the city and the com
munication which went to the city
gave notice that unless the old rule
was Immediately restored every cleo
trician employed by the city would
quit work. This means 1T not only
the bridge electricians !. those who
take care of the lighting plants will
quit, thus placing the city in darkness.
. Prior to Jan. Of this year the men
were paid double time for overtime.
After that the officials of the city cut
1t down to time and one-half.

WOrnan's Trials.

The bitter trail In q woman's life is -
be childless. Who can tell how. hard the
struggle may have been Gro she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence OF this link to bind marital life
to mutual affection is common disap-
pointment, Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even II they
90 not drift apart, one may read the whole
EXTENT OF their disappointment In the eyes
OF such childless couple when they rest
on the children Of Others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
. In many cases of barrenness or child.
lessness the obstacle to collaborating is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part OF the woman. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vOrite Prescription has been the means Of
restoring health and fruitfulness to many

been found to be of surgical character,

proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
ments, prolapsus, Inflammation and de-
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases OF nervousness and debility, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
It has to its credit hundreds of thousands
OF cures more In fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,

that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she Is taking. DR.. Pierce takes his pa

can afford to do as the formula after
