the natural grape-sugar, which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is suf-

CHAPTER XVIII.
4 Meet an Old Friend.

When 1 reached Glenarm House the
next morning 1 found to my astonish-
ment that the window l had left open
as l scrambled out the night before
was closed. 1 dropped my bag and
crept to the front door, thinking that
if Bates had discovered my absence it
was useless to attempt any further
deception. 1 was amazed to find the
great doors of the main entrance flung
wide, and in real alarm 1 ran through
the hall and back to the library.
The nearest door stood open, and, as
1 peered in, a curious scene disclosed
itself. A few. of the large cathedral
candles still burned brightly in several
places, their flames rising strangely in
the gray morning light. Books had
been taken from the shelves and scat
tered everywhere, and sharp nipple
ments had cut ugly gashes in the
shelving. The drawers containing
sketches. and photographs had been
pulled out and their contents thrown
! about and trampled under foot
The house was as silent as a tomb,
but as stood on the threshold trying
to realize what had happened, some
thing stirred by the fireplace and /
crept forward, listening, until 1 stood
by the long table beneath the great
chandelier. Again 1 heard a sound as
of some animal walking-and stretch
| ing, followed by a moan that undoubt-
| eddy was human. Then the hands of a
man clutched the farther edge of the
table and slowly and evidently with

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities OF. offTeers and Or
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his cleo
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to going busi-
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. 81 understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to adj
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which 1t is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch of
the company's working organization,
gives me, as 1 believe, profound ap-
probation, not merely Of the heavy
burden you have placed on my Shout
ders. but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders in
this high office"
Best of all, perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short OF
performance. "My thanks, therefore, "
he continues, 'fcr an homer which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words; they must be read out OF
the record I make day by day."

The Two-Cent Fare Situation.

Chicago, June 14.-Western railroads
have decided not to apply any 2-cent
passenger rates to Interstate traffic un-
less compelled to by the Interstate
commission or the court. The deci-
sion was reached today by all western
lines. Eastern roads were represented
at the conference, but postponed the
question.
The railroads assumed this attitude
because they desire not to be placed
in the light of accepting the reduction
in rates voluntarily.
The 2-cent rate situation in the west
may now be summarized as follows:
Illinois-Rate in effect July l. At
torney instructed to prepare joint bill
asking courts for relief.
Missouri in effect June a..
Suits for injunction both for and
against roads pending.
Minnesota-Rates in effect Nav /.
Application made by stockholders for
injunction.
Nebraska-Rates in effect March I.
Notice served by Union Pacific and
Rock Island that application will be
made for an Injunction.
Iowa-Rates in effect July Il. De-
cision made to contest rates.
Wisconsin-2115-cent rate in effect,
accepted.

Emmett Mark, as many of those who
are acquainted with him anticipated,
returned to Princeton on Sunday
morning. On Monday an adjustment
of the financial discrepancies between
him and Aulger Rines was effected,
Mr.. Mark executing deed which
gave to Mr.. Rines an equity in prop
erty partially owned by Mr.. Mark. /
On Monday evening Emmett Mark
left for Dickinson, N. D., for the pur-
pose, he said, of attending a big horse
sale at that point and of purchasing
two or three carloads of animals for
his regular monthly sale at Princeton
in July.
He (Emmet Mark) wishes to state
through the columns of the Uni n
that he greatly appreciates the manner
in which Aulger Rines, assisted by
Swan Peterson, adjusted the differ
ences which existed between himself
and Aulger Rines. The First Ma
tional bank, says Mr.. Peterson, was
in no manner interested in the matter
from financial standpoint.

Da1rying in Beltrami,

Beltrami county, like Mile Laos,
has concluded that the dairying in
dustry is a profitable one. A dis
patch from Bemidji says that dairy
ing will from now on become one of the
chief industries of the farmers of Bel
trami county-and that this is assured
by the location in Bemidji of new
creamery and cold storage plant
which has just been completed and is
in operation.
During the past two years, and
the last twelve months,
there has been much agitation among
the farmers, merchants and business
men generally of the county for the
more general following Of dairying,
and the creamery and cold storage
now installed will do much to encour-
age this industry.

Sandy Lake Pretty Trystins Place.

Central Park, E. Grants summer
resort at Sandy lake, is surely a
pretty place for days outing, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Grant are very accom-
modating to visitors they do all in
their power to make things pleasant.
We passed Friday at Sandy lake with
a fishing party and we're on the lake
about four hours. In that time the
party caught ten fine blackbass and
twenty-five other fish of fair size. The
water in Sandy lake is so clear that
one can with ease see the bottom in
ten or twelve feet of water. And the
water fairly teens with fish. You can
see from the boat big schools of SUM-
fish and scores of black bass gliding
here and there in search of food, and
this of course adds largely to the
fascinating sport of fishing. The
grounds at Sandy lake are in fine
condition and there are plenty OF
shade trees. One feels much refreshed
after a sojourn at Sandy lake.

Rural Carriers Convention,

The state convention of the Rural
Mail Carriers association was held
in Anoka on Friday. The auditing
committee reported S254.1l as the
years receipts and s245.O6 disburse-

of s9.O5.
The secretary's report showed POO
registered carriers and a nucleus for
nine associations. There are 1900
rural carriers in the state and only
about one-tenth are members of the
association. There are thirty county
associations with fourteen charter
members. Two of these thirty had no
charter.
The following officers were elected:
L. J. Crippen, Langdon, president;
j. 81. Drew, Red Wing, vice president;
G. A. Lane, Minnetonka Mills, secre.

urer. The last named was elected as

Gain In Railroad Earnings.

April railroad gross earnings for
1907 show Is per cent gain over 1906
earnings. All sections exhibit gain.
The lowest percentage of gain is in the
south, nearly 10 per cent, and the
highest is on the Pacific lines, 26 per
cent. Western states average about
16 per cent, which is strong enough
for all practical purposes.
AS the monthly gross earnings re-
turns come in it appears that each
month records greater gains this year
than its predecessor. The percentage
OF gain is progressive. In January
and February the gain was only 2
per cent: the roads still being in the
clutches of the traffic congestion. In
March the gain in percentage rose to
8 per cent, and now April exhibits Is
per cent.
For the same month in previous
years, 1906 showed ILL., per cent over
1905, the latter 81 per cent over 1904,
the latter as over 1903, and the last
named l4.3 per cent over 1902, which
has borne the previous April record.
So April, 1907, opens new record.
