Maurice Won Lynar leaned forward
towards his chief captain and whis-
pered a few words in his ear.
"Ah!" he said, and nodded. Then,
after a pause for thought, he added,

The Duchess Joan was in high
spirits. 1t had been judged necessary,
in consultation with her chief officers.
to ride a reconnaissance to ascertain
whether the advancing enemy had cut
Kernberg off towards the north. On
this matter Won Orseln thought that
her Highness had better judge for her
self. Here at last was something to
be done. 1t was almost like the old
foraying days, but now in more des-
/ perate cause.
No one in all Castle Kernsberg was
! to know of the departure of this cav
alcade. The Sparhawk was appointed
| to command during Won Orseln's alb
sence. Ten men only were to go, ano
these picked and sifted riders-choser
because of their powers of silence
and because, being unmarried, they
had no wives to worm secrets out o.
them.
Joan and her chief captain rode OF

passed the hills to drive a prey iron
the lands of her fathers enemies.
1t was grey morning when the
came to a goatherds hut at the to-
of the green valley. Already the
had passed the bounds of Hohenste1
by half a dozen miles. The goather
had led his light skipping train to tn
hills for the day, and the rude an
chaotic remains of his breakfast wer
still on the table. Boris and Jorla
cleared these away, and, with tn
trained alacrity of seasoned men

she had caused the Sparhawk to enter.
Then a new thought seemed to
strike her.
"But my nurse and my women-how
can he keep the imposture secret? he
may pass before the stupid eyes or
men. But they"
"They have been sent out or harms

Boris and Jorian had to sit with them,
though much againht their wills. be-

accustomed to the company of honest

bowling gravely before her, you see

NAY MEAN MARITAL Law.
Belfast Police strike May PM An Ireland
Under Military Rule.

Special Cable Dsspdfeh 10 rHB srN
LONDON. July 3l.-Anxiety as to tho
situation in Belfast has developed into a
discussion Of the probability OF a procla-
nation of martial law. In which event the
city will be divided into six military dis
tricts. with one resident ma eistrate quar-
tered in each district.
A despatch from Dublin says that martial
law will be proclaimed on Saturday IL the
police go out on strike then in accordance
with the ultimatum Of their leader. Con-
stable Barrett. The procia nation would
not affect Belfast only, but all parts OF the
country. with the possibility that the whole
of Ireland would be under martial law
within a fortni ght.
1t is highly improbable mat tho demands
Of the police for higher pay will be granted.
This Is nov the most serious phase OF the
situation. as the outlook for labor In brighter
and there were the strongest hopes for the
settlement OF the dock laborers' str ike until
the INSTRUMENTATION Of the police gave the
agitators fresh encouragement.
More than six thousand troops are now
quartered in Belfast. a display OF military
force which. a despatch this morning says.
is reassuring aw abiding citizens. The ar
rival Of the Berkshire Regiment was greeted
with much popular cheering.

HANLY A ROOsEvELT CRITIC.
Governor Of Indiana warns People Against
Following an Impulsive Leader.

ELKHARr, Ind, July H.-Gov. Hanly in
a speooh to h Chautauqua Assembly to-
day spoke for conservatism in dealing with
State and Federal problems.
After referring to problems resulting
from the combinations, trusts and large
accumulations Of wealth Gov. Hanly said:
In matters Of such moment we cannot
afford to thoughtlessly follow impulsive
leadership, however high its character or
pure It's purpose. As a self-governing peo-
pie we must need be thoughtful and con-
siderate, lest We open the door to greater
ills h a those we seek TO cure.
President Roosevelt has earned the con-
hdence and the gratitude Of his country
men by courageous work and signal service
and do not speak in unkindly criticism,
for l believe in the purity Of his purpose
and in his greatness. But he is not infalli-
BILE, however strong of soul and pure Of
heart he may be. Proposals., even from
him, which are calculated TO affect the re-
lations Of the Federal Government and the
several States should be thought upon,
studied and analysed before We adopt
them.
The tendency of the times is toward
GENERALIZATION of power in the Federal
Government. Public necessity az he has
viewed il and understood the public needs
has fitted well the Presidents peculiar
temperament. and il will indeed be sur
prising il these do not at times lead him
into error

In this way criminals could be traced

In discussing the n Of crime Gen.

crime in various forms settles upon conf
munities every once in a While.
Berlin just now seems TO be troubled
by attacks upon children and young
women" he said. and the police there
have done what I did not long ago--issued
a warning through the press 20 mothers
to keep their children indoors. We have

MORE PAY FOR WOMEN TEACHERS
n the ttty Puts Up $4,000. 600 and Full
BOard os Education Approves.

The executive committee OF the Board Of
Education held a special meeting yesterday
and voted TO increase the salaries OF the
public school teachers provided several
things turn out as they hope. The princi-
pal thing they hope for Is that the Board Of
Estimate will grant the 5000 900 that is TO
be asked for in addition to the regular esti-
mate for 1908.
The committee that had been appointed
to revise he's salary list made a report which
contained new schedules for salaries. The
revised schedules principally affect the ele-
mentary school teachers. An increase Of
$40 is proposed for the first year woman
teacher. with an annual increase OF sts
thereafter. The first year woman teacher
at the present time gets 5000 a year. Under
the present system the woman teacher gets
81. 200 in her sixteenth year Of service; under
the revised list she would get 81, 440.
The committee asked that the report be
approved tentatively. and II the Board OF
Estimate grants the 5000 900 which will
be necessary to carry out the revised sched-
ules Their the full Board Of Education could
adopt the revised schedules or change
them.

TAEGIER. July 3i.-News Of the massacre
OF European workmen at Casablanca.
one Of the principal sesports Of Morocco.
has been brought here by n German ship
which had on board several Jewish refugees.
They and the captain say that at noon
yesterday a large number Of Kabyie tribes
men entered the town. attacked h foreign
workmen employed on the harbor and
tramway works and bludgeoned to death
Ave Frenchmen. two Italians and a Spaniard.
They mutilated and then burned the
bodies. Afterward they wrecked the plant
and workshops and returned TO their viii
lagos. The works are about a mile and a
quarter from the town.
When the news reached the people there
was a panic. especially among the Jews,
many Of whom instantly laid in stores Of
provisions and barricad ed themselves in
their houses. About 400 others fed to the
German ship.
A general exodus Of foreigners followed
later, but the Consuls did not quit their
posts. From an recount given by DR..
Merle. a Frenchmsn. who has since arrived
from Casablsnca, it seems likely that the
deaths were more numerous than was re-
ported at first. He says that a large number
OF natives entered the town on the pretext
Of selling corn in TIN market. At about
midday they gathered at the harbor and
began abusing the native guards, whom
they ultimately attacked and killed. Some
European workmen, who made their APP
pearance with arms. were also massacred.
The captain of the German ship says the
whole blame is ascribed to the Governor
Of Casablanca. The outbreak was appar-
emily the result Of native anger at the rail-
way and harbor works being pushed more
than a mile from the coast into the country
Of the Mediouna and Shsoia kabylee. Fiji
teen hundred Of these tribesmen protested
