call upon you forthwith"
Strathgate bowed but made no other
reply as he walked away toward the
inn.
Darlington stayed moment or two
longer to complete arrangements for
paying for the boat he had destroyed
and then with a heavy heart, turned
toward the town. He was in a ter
rible state. He had had no sleep the
night before. He had ridden both day
and night. The chase of the morning
had not conduced to quiet his nerves.
and the insults of Strathgate, whom
punctillio kept him from picking up
in his arms and breaking as he would
a stick, had not rendered him any
more easy. His first duty was to get
something to eat and to refresh him
self by a bath. He would then send
a message to some of his shipmates
in Admiral Kephard's fleet who could
be counted upon to attend to all the
arrangements of the meeting l.
outrance between him and his enemy.
Although Darlington was as angry
as a man could well be and as full of
bitter hatred toward Strathgate, he
on that account. He had other things
to do, one of which was to chase Ellen

For those contemplating tour to
Europe. Hungary offers an embarrass-
ing choice of beauty spots. The fol
lowing is Miss Alice Stronach's inter
esting story of her visit to the coun'
try of the Magyars:
Late spring and early autumn are
the best times for a visit to Hungary.
True, there are winter spots In the
Tatra to attract the enthusiast for
these, and in summers heat delicious
cool may be found at the many lovely
mountain spas. whose marvels oil
scenery and of healing springs are far
too little known to English victims OF
govt and rheumatism and other all
ments. But the extremes of cold and
heat make travelling on the great plain
of Hungary well-nigh intolerable in
the depth of winter or the height oil
summer. Autumn, when glory Of
crimson and gold begins to SWEEP
over forest and mountain, and the AL
fold, or lowland, teens with mellow
fruitfulness. is delightful time for a
tour in Hungary; and. moreover. the
traveller who times his visit then can
count on seeing something of the Hun
garian vintage. a festival peculiarly
fascinating in the land of the csardas.
the home of picturesque costume and
gypsy music.
THE Hungarians are not yet infected
with the strenuousness of their Brit
ish and American visitors. and we
found life in our little mountain spa
of Trenscen-Teplitz. on our arrival
there. n restful and pleasant change
from the hustle of London season.
We sampled the baths. whose strong
sulphur waters attracted visitors from
Vienna. Germany and all parts OF
Hungary; listened to the music of the
gypsy band. that played in the morn

Carpathians. and dined in the garden
of a little inn, where we first expert

licious wine that our host called tokay.
possibly a distant cousin of that i'm
perial wine. And always there was
the sensation of living in fairy tale.
where every peasant girl might be a
princess and every swineherd prince
in disguise. The shops with their
quaint, naive signs-a crusty loaf to
denote the bakers, realistic ham at
the butchers, a beaker foaming at the
brim. or cup frothing over with
cream, to tell where beer or coffee
might be had-deepened the sense of
fairy tale or pantomime.
Our later wanderings took us to
others of the wonderful medicinal spas
which, well known to the Austrians.

known in England.

gate had gone back to Portsmouth.
If one or the other. or both of them
had not been killed in that inter-
change of pistol shots. and he sur
missed that the first duty to which
they would devote themselves would
be to see which one could kill the
other.
He therefore determined to chase
the ship. Not in his own boat, oh, no!
He had a better plan than that. A
ready and resourceful man was Sir
Charles Seton. And while he was deep
ly in love with Mistress Debbie, the
more in love because through Ellen's
persistence his sweetheart had been,
as 1t were. dragged out of his arms
and therefore added the value Of the
unattainable to his pursuit OF her. yet
he was not in addition blinded by
passion, jealousy and hatred as were
Darlington and Strathgate. He knew
that Mistress Debbie despised men of
the Strathgate stamp, and although
everything in petticoats was fair game
for Strathgate, he also knew that the
earl was on this occasion bent toward
Lady Ellen. Therefore. he was in
saner and brighter mood than the
other two.
Not far away lay the great ships of
Admiral Kephard. The admiral had
announced his intention of posting
down to Portsmouth by coach. The
first thing he would do when he ar.
rived would be to board his flagship
which lay at the head of the line of
a dozen little ships several miles
away from the place where Sir
Charles had taken ground. ST.
Charles reasoned that the admiral
would be in a hurry to get to Ports
mouth and that even If he did not
press the post boys. he would prob
ably have reached his ship by the time
Sir Charles could get there.
Therefore, he possessed his soul in
such patience as he could until his
own boat once more got under way.
He had hidden Master whitley to
mark well the course of the merchant
man upon which Ellen and Deborah
had taken refuge. This ship headed

ALARM WHOSE
CROP Is TIMBER

In every state of the union there
are many tracts of so-called agricul-
tural land, which. owing to their billy
character, poor soil, or numerous
powders. are not suitable for farming.
The owners of such tracts are often at
a loss to know what to do with them.
Without question, the best use to
which land of this kind can be put Is
to plant 1t with trees. One OF the
fundamental principles OF forest eco
Monies is that soil which is not
good enough to make the growing of
cereal crops profitable should be de-
voted to the production OF wood crops.
This does not mean that trees grow
better on poor soil than ongfsrtile soil.

settled down for a long voyage.

Charles to run alongside the Britain

CHAPTER XIV.

Admiral Kephard Joins the Pursuit.
We left Sir Charles Seton hard and
fast in his boat on the shoal. Sir
Charles had nothing to do but study
the ocean and observe that which
TRANSFERRED upon it, for a few moments
of hard work convinced worthy Master
whitley that only the rising tide
would float his vessel. Sir Charles
saw the whole drama enacted before
him. He saw Ellen run down the
Flying Star; he saw that vessels way
checked; he could see Deborah fol-
lowed by Ellen Chamber aboard. He
marked the other two boats chasing
down the channel and made shrewd
euess that one carried Darlington and
the other Strathgate. He saw the
collision, although of course he was
too far away to know who was re-
! spunsible or what was happening. He
even saw the smoke from the two pis-
tolls which were discharged by the
belligerents on the boat and after
time detected the report family, but
other than that he knew nothing.
II was some time before the rising
tide coupled with their own tremen-
dous exertion got the boat on the
shoal. Sir Charles had had plenty OF
time to mature his plans. He knew
that Ellen was on that ship. He

truth. He did not believe Strathgate's
extravagant assertions about the earls
arrangement to meet Lady Ellen on
the ship, but there was possibility
of truth in 1t and that at least kept
him from entire confidence in his wife.
AS for Strathgate, he was not feel
ing any too happy either. He had
risked everything, got himself en-
broiled with a man of Carrington's
determined character, had upon him
all the odium of having run away with
another mans wife, and yet he had
lost the wife!
His sensuous admiration Of Lady
Ellen was turned to something like
hate. He did not want to throw away
any points in the game either, and he
made up his mind to kill Darlington.
If it was in his power. and to wreak
such vengeance upon Lady Ellen as
would cause her to remember to the
very last hour of her life the time
in which she flouted him.

A test case was recently tried in
Mitchell of the legality of selling
lagerlne, a substitute for beer, in q
prohibition town. Some of the ga
loon keepers of that town put in q
stock of lagerine which they sold
during corn palace week, their
claim being that, while it was q
matted beverage, it did not con-
tain enough alcohol to produce in
toxication and could therefore be
legally sold as q temperance drink.
The court ruled that all matted or
brewed liquors, no matter what
amount Of alcohol they contain,
are prohibited under the local op-
ton law, and the vendors were
found guilty Of violating the law.

Stare Treasurer Cassill in hi,

STAGE Treasurer Cassill in his
last annual report will make some
new suggestions to the legislature.
He recommends a depository law
for the state funds, and that the
salary of the state treasurer be in
creased by a constitutional amend
ment to reasonable amount. He
says no man of reasonable busi-
ness integrity and ability will as
sumo the responsibilities and lia-
bilities of the treasurer's Office and
furnish bonds of $500, 600 all on a
salary of $500. He calls atten-
tion to the fact that the state debt
was increased during the last fiscal
year 5000, ,O2O; that while the rev.
nues Of the state have increased to
large extent through new lands
placed on the tax roll and the in
crease of corporate property, yet
the legislature goes on year after
year blindly appropriating large
sums of money, regardless of the
revenues that the members of the
last session were lavish in their ap-
preparations for the state institu-
tions, "giving no heed to the nu-
merous suggestions from this de-
partment that their appropriations
would exceed by far all possible
income" The misleading feature
of Mr.. Cassill's report is the in
sinuation that lavish appropria-
tions have been characteristic of
all previous Legislatures. This is
not the case. For six years previ-
GUS to last year our debt was
steadily diminished. Our bonded
debt had all been liquidated, and
from his OWE statement the out.
standing warrants, less cash on
hand, we're only $183,O64. The
past year that debt was increased
by over $500, 900 and there is every
indication that this deficit will be
more than doubled this year.

A light fall of snow came last
Saturday afternoon, followed by a
cold blast from the northwest which
by Sunday night sent the mercury
down to IA degrees below zero.
This was colder than at any time
last winter, and the coolest that it
has been for several years so early
in the season. It is said that in
North Dakota there is about two
feet of snow, which probably ac-
counts for the severity of the north
