reappOinted to the force, relieving Of
ficer Lambert of duty as patrolman,

I'VE have been a little lax in the en-

morning, but, owing to The large num-
Der of complaints received, We have
decided to enforce the ordinances to
the letter. 1t is desired that all auto
informed of the provisions of the law,
in order that they may not be caught
unawares. Officers Lambert has not
only been provided with good BIZ
cycle, but he has also been given a
stop watch in order that he may de-
termine just exactly when the speed
ordinances are being violated.
There have been a number of speed
ard bicycle ordinances passed by the
city council. many of which arr,
amendments to former enactments. A
summary of existing statues is given
below:
It is unlawful for drivers of automo
biles to run their machines within the
city limits at a speed greater than II
miles per hour, while it is unlawful for
them to cross any insersecting streen
when said intersection is occupied by
anv other person, either on foot or in
miles per hour The penalty for vio-
lating this ordinance is a fine of from
S. to $25.
For bicycle riders, there are paTtiC-
ularly stringent regulations. In the
first place, all bicycles must be-
equipped with good bells, and, whe2
used at night. with Lanterns Of ap-
proved make. Bicycle riders may not
ride on any sidewalk on Main or Alder
streets between Palouse and Sixth or
on any cross street between Rose and
Alder. from Palouse to SIKH, 1nclu-
sive. No bicycle can be ridden in the
citv at a greater speed than eight
miles per hour or Oh any sidewalk
at a gerater speed than SIX miles PEI
hour. or on the sidewalk of any street
crossing at a greater speed than four
miles per hour. In passing any Wom-
an. or child under seven years of age;
the rider is compelled TO dismount al
least 30 feet from such woman or
child. A penalty of between 50 anu
500 NAV be assessed for the violation
of any of the provisions quoted above
The ordinances also provide that
collision participated in by any bicycle

idence that the rider Violated the Or

my friendY'
 The sailmaker forgot Fritz for the time, and hustled about lowing and apologizing for his delay in opening the shop. The sail-a huge thing all bundled up and wound round with rope-was dragged from the corner by the three sailors and car ried out at the order of the skipper who stopped to pay the bill.
 '"rhe heaviest sail of our size l ever helped to lift" said one of the sailors. ''The old dog must have given us an extra weight in canvas"
 "Well, if he did he got the full price, ? declared another, helping to lift the sail into cart that stood there for the pur- pose. Then the last speaker sprang into the cart beside the driver and away they rattled over the cobbles towards the pier, the other two sailors waiting outside the shop for their master.
 After the skipper had departed the old sailmaker and his frau began l. search of the neigbborhood for their poor little slave, the orphan Fritz. Their tempers grew and waxed fierce as they searched in vain at this public house and that. "I'll fog him till he can't speak when I get him again in my hands," vowed the old wife in angry tones.
 ''Il skin him alive" declared the furi- ous sailmaker.
 And so it was that little Fritz had much to be thankful for that the old sinners never set eyes on him again.
 That night the sailors on board the "Conqueror" began to unrol the new sail preparatory 10 hoisting it in place of an old one. To their astonishment q little boy. half dead from suffocation, rolled from the folds of canvas. He tried to stagger to his feet. but was too weak

 Well. he's ours till some one who can show right to him comes to claim him." said Kettle. laying n gentle hand on the old dogs head
 Old doggie wagged his tall now In earn est and looked the friendship he felt. The children started on their way, their new four-footed friend keeping close to their side. When they had got almost clear of the wood a man came suddenly from the depths of some shrubbery at the side of the road and accosted them. Plainly he was tramp, and n most evil-looking one, too; his face bloated from drink and his clothing ragged and dirty.
 Say, pard." he said, addressing his remarks to BricktOp, what you got on yer person wuth havin? I'm in need of a fe- sheckles an don't mind relleyln' n fine chap like you of the fillin of his leather. Come, shell out m save trou- ble fer yerself an them two rosey-cheeked gals"
 The Twins did not exactly understand the mans language. but they knew he meant to rob their brother from the look of defiance that came into Bricktop's eyes as he replied:
 You'd better go on your way and save yourself trouble. As for my possessions need them myself, and mean 10 keep them, too. Move out of our way, please.
 The tramp had stationed himself in the road right in front of Bricktop, and when he uid not move Bricktop, motioning to his sisters to proceed in front of him. started to walk round the hideous and thr n .9ning obstacle in his path. But the tramp thrust forth his arm and had Bricktop by the collar instantly. shaking hfm roughly and saying in a gruff voice:
 Come, my yoangster, don't try to bluff me. Out with your pockets-"
 But he did not finish the command. At the first sign of distress from Bricktop and the piteous exclamatlons of fear from the Twins, the great dog-a splendid Newfoundiand-sprang upon the tramp witt fierceness that was most terrible to behold. The tramp, loosenlng hls clutch of Bricktop began to fight the animal of, crying out at the same time: "rake i'm off! -nke i'm off. an I'll do you no harm"
 Bricktop, really fearing for the tramp's life, for blood was now running from his ha ads, where he brave dog had torn them with his fangs, ran to the animal and took hold of him, dragging him with all his might from the attack. Come, fellow, come old doggie. Downl Downl You've whipped the rascal, so let him go."
 Although the dog obeyed Brlcktop he did so reluctantly, and still kept his eye

Katherine Of valols, youngest child of Charles VI. of France, was born October 27, 1407. at Paris, France. She seems to have been born under an unlucky star, for at the time of her birth her fathers health was in a precarlous condition, due to excesses and an extravagant manner of living, and her mothers reputation was the common subject for shameless gossip throughout the Kingdom.
 Katherine's early years were passed at the Kings residence of retirement, the Hotel St. Paul, where her royal sire was confined during his continued and terrible spells of madness. Here the little prin- cess. In the company of her brothers and sister, spent many years of sad neglect, suffering at times the most cruel hard ships of hunger and filthy surroundings, for Queen Isabeau, her mother, had de- serted her husband in his extremity and abandoned her little children, who must have died or hunger but for the generos- ity and kindness of the servants who re- mained with the Insane King, and the royal children even after their pay and provisions were stopped by the heart less and unnatural Isabeau.
 And during this time Queen Isabeau was busy pifering the royal treasury. assisted by her husbands brothers, and squandering the money in a reckless man ner. while her children suffered the most abject poverty in q palace which had not the comforts of the meanest abode of peasant.
 But suddenly Charles recovered his req son and became once more the master of his own realm. Hearing of his changed condition, and fearing his punishment of her, the wicked Isabeau fled from Paris with her brother-in-law, Prince Louis of Orleans, her partner in shame. and vert n he al Duke Louis of Bavaria, to fetch her chill dren from the Hotel St. Paul. But the abductor had scarcely reached JuyIs5y with the royal children when he was oyertaken by q troop of men-at-arms by order of the Duke of Burgundy. The dauphln and his royal sisters were at once escorted back to the King. their father, who kept them In his own charge.
 But a few years later Charles was again seized with alteration of mind and Isabeau took advantage of his condition to escape from the Imprisonment he had imposed upon her and proclaimed herself the mad kings regent Then she assumed

Then the story wound up with the fairies putting their sleeping prisoners into dark cave where, after an hour, they awoke and begged to be allowed to depart from the moon by means of their airship. The fairies, never ill-disposed, permitted them to do so, leading them from the cave to the edge of high cliff, from where they saw the airship lift itself into the air, carrying the foreigners away.
 Bricktop and Bettie loudly applauded Lettie's story; then Bettie began to ''spin her yarn of woe," as she put it. She prefaced 1t by saying that her story should deal with the familiar things about them. In fact, it should be of themselves. She opened the chapter in the woods they were now going through. The time was summer and it was raining. Of a sudden there was heard in the woods to their left a strange sound-perhaps lioness roaring. They had run away as fast as they could-so Betde informed them-when

 Hold i'm, for the love of life, till I git off round that hill" begged the tramp of Bricktop. as he wiped the blood from his hands on his sleeves.
 Not so easy, my man." said Bricktop. You'll go ahead of me to the place we are bound for, where I'll turn you over to someone who'll see 10 it that you are taken care of id way that will pre- vent your robbing children on the public highway, or I'll net this dog on you and let him do what his good dog sense prompts hin to do. Take your choice, and be duiek.'
 The tramp glanced at the dog, then sai1 in q most humble tones "I'm yer prisoner, young feller. Don't be too hard on me.
 Half an hour later grandpa and grandma Perkins saw the Twins and Bricktop coming up the lane, q dirty, bleareyed. ragged tramp in the lead while at Brick tops side walked a great dog. whose low, occasional growl could be heard when they rame within n hundred yards of the house.
 The tramp was lodged In the woodshed. wit good guard set to watch him. md Grandpa Perkins telephoned to town for
 
 his charge. Then tLey all had time to hear abont the dog, what little the chill dren knew 10 tell.
 After Briektop had finished his story his grandfather said:
 You've found a rare friend and pro tector in that old fellow. and I hone you'll have the pleasure of keeping him, for if an owner should turn up I'll pay him five times the dogs value to keep him for you kids"
 ''He saved my watch and about two dollars in money, not to speak of the humilla ton of being robbed by n dirty tra np," said Bricktop.
 And think of how he protected us." cried Bettie enthusiastically.
 "Ye5. indeed" declared Lettie: "tIli old eoggie came to orr rescue we were frightened almost to death. Never do we como here again without him. l vote that we call him Protector

from want of breath to do so at once.
 Many paths of surprise went round among the sailors. Then the skipper was called, and Fritz, breathing deeply and smiling at those round him, was pointed out to the mighty captain.
 "Ho, ho, no! What sort of joke has the old hound played on us now?" the skipper cried merrily, liking the sweet face of Fritz, with its blue baby eyes and soft elinging 1axen curls? Where came you from, ladr'
 Fritz was now feeling stronger, having filled his lungs with good sea air, and re- piled: 'I came in the sail, sir. Oh, please take me away with you, for l saw you this morning and l knew that you would be kind fin the heart You are no bad man like the old sailmaker who beat me so. And his wife beat me too."
 But how did you get inside that sailT' asked the skipper, becoming interested.
 'I loosened the ropes so that might crawl inside" explained Fritz. 'They were at their supper and merry with their mugs of beer, so l was not afraid they'd see me. They always sit at the table so long. But l had just got Inside the sail when you came. Oh. but 1t was close in there. thought must die for want of air, sir"
 Say. this omens well for us,' said the skipper. Here's a new sail to be hoisted from which rolls as pretty little lad as my old eyes ever beheld. We'll take him with us and hell be our mascot Good luck and fair weather will attend the Conqueror after this"
 Then the jolly old skipper ordered that some meat and drink be served to lis mascot in the mates cabin. tiny stateroom was arranged for Fritz, with clean little bed and pleasant surround ings. At high tide that night they set sail and were soon on the bosom of tue mighty ocean. Each day the skipper had Fritz with him, chatting and telling fish storles'' to amuse the little fellow. who was at first quite seasick. but who
