'Malotte! Who is she?" Helen ques-

He seemed surprised. II thought ev-

II am sure Mr.. Glenister would not

watched him. What a splendid figure
he made in his evening clothes! The

tense and talon-like, thrust themselves
forward as though reaching for the
riches she had snatched away. They
worked and writhed and trembled as
though In dumb fury, the nails sinking
into the oilcloth table cover. His face
grew livid and cruel, while his eyes
blazed at her till she shrank from him
affrightedly. bracing herself away from
the table with rigid arms.
Reason came slowly back to Glen
lister and understanding with it. He
seemed to awake from a nightmare.
He could read all too plainly the gam
bler's look of baf1ied haas as the man
sprawled on the table, his arms spread
wide, his eyes glaring at the covering

rabbit before a snake. She tried to

him and said:

was yours anyhow, SO I don't mind"
His meaning was plain. The Kid sud
denly jerked open the drawer before
him, but Glenister clinched his right
hand and leaned forward. The miner
could have killed him with a blow, for
the gambler was seated and at his
mercy. The Kid checked himself,
while his face began to twitch as
though the nerves underlying it had
broken bondage and were dancing In a
wild, ungovernable orgy.
"You have taught me a lesson" was
all that Glenister said, and with that
he pushed through tie crowd and out
into the cool night air. Overhead the
arctic stars winked at him, and the

rose from her seat at the breakfast ia

silvered head with affection.
He took her cool hand and pressed
it to his cheek, while the worry that
haunted him habitually Of late gave
way to a smile.

At the same moment Cherry Malotte

St, Petersburg, June 17--The first of series of party proclamations was issued today by the Octoberists. mem bers of the late parliament, who dis claim all responsibility for the disso- lution of the douma. They say the guilt for this upheavaI in the national life must rest with the irreconciiabie enemies of the new legal regime, who were determined to paralyze the re forms granted by the Emperor and conducted their criminal activity -witla- in the precincts of the house.

There are no differences as far as the prices of mining go. the maximum being 57 l-2 cents per ton.

while such questions have frequently been discussed by the ablest of men, such questions have not yet been de- cided. simply mention 1t as a great national question.
 It is urged that because penal ties are af1xed 10 the statutes of 1901, the criminal courts of the State only take Jurisdiction. I do not stop to review the various Missouri stat utes upon the subject of both passen- gers and freight, all of which must be construed as in pari matria. But 1t is sufficient to say that the infiicting of penalties Is not the only remedy. The Attorney General and Railroad Com- missioners will have much to do with the enforcement of these statutes which the railways contend are void in part In the original cases, the question was whether all the earnings in the aggregate were remunerative. That question is still present under the statutes of 1901 Whether these laws. by raising the freight rates and lowering the passenger fares, are remunerative in the aggregate must be considered by the court. The State is not in effect party because the charge is that these officers are seek ing to enforce void statutes in more ways than by inficting penalties. ss
 The orders heretofores made will stand until vacated or modified. The cases will be set down for hearing as to whether temporary Injunction shall issue. and If issued, what shall be the scope: shall they restrain the enforcement of the recent freight rate statute? Shall they restrain the en- forcement of the recent 2-cent pas senger rateg Tentatively. subject to argument and subject to change of opinion, if should hear the cases, my present view is that the 2-cent pas senger fare statute should be put in force and kept in force for some months. at least with the right of the railways later on to renew their mo- tions to en1oin the enforcement of the sfa et-a asA
