Of Constable's pith helmets was upon her
her, the sleeves rolled up to her hands;
and pair Of his shoes was laced over her
own. It was difficult to move about in
this regalia, but it kept off the whitening
draughts. The boat was lowered.
A half-hour later, they were forced to
put back to the ship. Ernst was whim-
pering at the oars, his lips twisted in ag-
ony. Macready was silent, an eloquent
signal Of his failing endurance. Lara had
not swooned her will was not broken, but
conditions had been encountered which
flesh could not conquer The boat was
pulled about to the lee of the steamer, and
at portfolio glass she saw the sneerlng
face of Pugh, still in irons.
There in the boat the three renewed
their strength, and another terrific down
pour came to aid them. Lara sat in the
stern, hands and lips tense, during the
cloudburst 1t was nearly two in the af-
ternoon when the boat was bailed, the
stock of ice replenished, and a second
start made. The sailors gave them
cheer.
Deeper and deeper in toward the gray,
low beach the little boat was pulled, It's
occupants the first to look upon the heap
ed and running over measure of Saint
Pierre's destruction. Denny and Ernst
took turns at the oars, sometimes pulling
a single blade together. Rare running
mates, they were, odd as two white men
could be, but matched to hair in cour-
age. Ernst bent to his work, a grim,
stolid mechanism. Denny jerked at the
oars, and found breath and energy re-
naming to assail Pugh, with his barbed
and poisoned tongue. The woman, in the
stern of the boat, knelt before them, prais-
ing, cooling their faces with ice, her words
often incoherent, but her spirit unconquer-
able.

CHAPTER XVI.

IT was after eleven when the Madame
de Stael regained the harbor. The cloud
burst had spent itself. Out from the
land rolled an unctuous smudge when
bore suggestions of the heinous impartial
itv of a great confagration. The harbor
was cluttered with wreckage, doom-plc-
ture for the eyes of the seamen. Dimly,
ftfullv. through the pail, they saw the
Ghosts of the shipping-black bulls with
ont helm or hope. The Madame vented
deep-toned roar, but no answer was re-
turned-not a voice from the Wreckage,
not the scream of a gull sailor hcaVed
the lead. and the scathed steamer bored
into the rising heat.
Ahead was emptiness. The woman was
standing forward on the main deck. The
wind tunnelled through the smoke, and
che saw the hills shorn of her city. The
hone that the guns of Pelee had been
mod seward was crushed with other
homes. A cry was wrung from her breast

Trial by Jury, Too!

Referring to the decision of the United
States Court of Appeals in overturning
Judge Lands fine of the Standard Oil
Company, the Chicago Record-Herald
says:
"The members of the court scathingly
arraigned Judge Lands, by inference, as
denying the right of trial by jury to the
defendant corporation, of attempting to
visit punishment upon a corporation
which had not even been indicted and of
setting his personality and beliefs above
the law"
Many Republican papers heartily ap-
prove the decision. Some of them are
indignant that Judge Lands ''by infer
ence" denied to the Standard Oil Com
pany "the right of trial by jury" but
they condemn the efforts of Democrats
who insist that the right of trial by jury
be accorded to individuals in indirect con-
tempt cases.

TO LIFT UP FARM LIFE.
Roosevelt Appoints Commission to Make
Report on Conditions.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. 10.-With
a view to bringing about better social,
sanitary and economic conditions on
American farms, President Roosevelt
has requested five experts on country life
to make an investigation into the whole
matter and to report to him with recon-
mendations for Improvements. The men
President Roosevelt has asked to act as
an investigating committee are Prof. l..
II. Bailey of the New York College Of
Agriculture; Henry Wallace of Wal
lace's Farmer, Des Moines, Ia; Presi
dent Kenyon L. Butterfeld of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college; Clifford
Pinchot of the United States forest re-
serve, and Walter H. Page, editor Of
The Worlds Work, New York.

Unfortunate.

In the light of the bitter criticism WIS.,
tied upon Judge Lands by Judge Gross
cup in releasing the Standard Oil Com
pany from fine, it will not do of course,
to criticise the court, although we have
eminent Republican authority for such
a course, l. e., Theodore Roosevelt's criti-
cism of Judge Humphreys beef trust de-
cision. We make bold to say, however,
that the New York World puts it force
fully, although calmly, when it says: ut
is unfortunate this most harsh condem-
nation of judge by his higher associates
should have been for his attempt ade-
quately to punish the Standard Oil Com
pany."

No Law for MonopoIists.

Expressing the opinion that the Gross
cup decision in the Standard Oil case will
be generally accepted as responsive to
the facts" the New York Mail says:
'The fine was factor and no small one
in the progressive uncertainty in the
American business world that eliminated
in the crash of last October"
How did it all happen? With what
reason may it be said that the fact that
a notorious offender against the law is
called to account produces business disas-
ter among free and progressive people?
If this is true, why undertake to en-
force law?

''You like dis-perhaps?" said the
pretty Syrian woman, holding out some
crocheted lace toward the lady Of the
house. It was in a New York home,
and there was possibly something In
congruous about the beautiful sur
roundings and the poorly clad woman
seated on the floor in the midst of her
laces and embroideries. The incongru-
ity did not strike either mistress or
visitor, however, for each was, In her
way, dignifed and simple.

asked the lady, interestedly.

"Ah! Did you have to pay much
duty on them? The lady was think

face as she answered, II pay not one

Held I'm the Armv.

The battle was going against him. The
commander in chief, himself ruler Of the
South American republic, sent an aide
to the rear. ordering Gen. Blanco to bring
I'D his regiment at once. Ten minutes
passed, but it didn't come. Twenty,
thirty, an hour-still no regiment. The
aide came tearing back hatless, breath
less. 'My regiment My regiment! Where
is it? Where is itY' shrieked the COM
mander. General" answered the excit-
ed aide, "Blanco started all right. but
there are couple of drunken Americans
down the road and they won't let it go

A sueeestion to Mr., Sherman,

Associated Press dispatches say that
Representative James S. Sherman, the
Republican nominee for Vice President,
will make tour of the West in behalf
of the Republican ticket. We suggest
that Mr.. Sherman, who is Speaker Can
mons right hand man in the House, tell
the people what he thinks of the Repub-
lican revolt against Cannonism.
By the time Mr.. Sherman gets through
explaining to Republicans the methods
of the Cannon Sherman oligarchy in the
House, he may have some time to devote
to his widely advertised arrangement of
Democrats"

and drenched as if risen from the sea,
who pulled at his coat and called above
the deluge

needs his ship?"
go below, miss. I'm trying to save
his ship for him."
In a stunned way she stared at the
officer. Don't you know he was to be
back in two hours?'
Pugh whirled around to Macready, who
was standing behind the woman. "You
don't seem able to manage one passenger"
he said in an ugly tone. "I'm shorthand
ed, but I'll get help for your

"But you must turn back ~ the woman
cried hopelessly. Captain Negley would
never leave his owner to die back there ''
Captain Negley is not in command
now" Pugh said, his small eyes burning
wickedly. Get below or I'll call the sail
ors to help you down. 1 don't need a
woman and a sniveling valet to help me
run the ship"
Lara turned to the ladder brushed back
the drenched hair from her eyes, and said
coldly, slowly, Il see there is a coward in
command !"
For that one instant she was vivid
replica of her mother. The viperine face
of Pugh turned ashen under her eyes.
Reaching the main deck she told Mac
ready to bring two sailors into the own
ers cabin. A moment later she was bend

ed his we'll hand.
Captain Negley! Oh, Captain-Cap-

Her voice ranged higher.
The lips of the seaman moved.

In a slight opening of the bandages
appeared a dazed gray eye.

Nature was trying to right herself in

Laird and Plass The simple problems

Macready entered with two sailors.
Command Pugh to turn about! Oh,
speak for me-for me" she implored.
Negley tried to rise. Bring Pugh
| here ~ he mumbled.
1t was a sweet duty for Macready,
| whose colors had been lowered in the
presence of the woman. Pugh gave an
order to the man at the wheel, and fol
lowed the Irishman below. Lara had held
| the light in the gray eye.
"What do you mean by putting out
without the owner?" Negley demanded
thickly.
Pugh's black eyes roved from the face
of his superior to the sailors; to the
drenched woman who had caused It ali: to
the hated Macready at the door. They
were enemies all.

But They Forgot 1t.

The New York Tribune says: "Mr.
Bryan is not fortunate in his efforts to
create political capital out of the rea-
sonable popular desire for publicity in
respect to campaign receipts and expen-
ditures. A few weeks ago, while both
the nominees were still in the position of
candidates for the nomination, Mr.. Bryan,
in what he conceived to be master stroke
of adroitness, invited Mr.. Taft to ex-
press an opinion as to the propriety of
shedding full light on the funds employed
in a contest for the presidency, their
sources, amounts and distribution. There
upon Mr.. Taft, who had hesitated to as
sumo an authority not yet bestowed upon
him, caused the fact to be made known
that he had already declared in writing
for complete publicity, which left Mr..
BRYAN in a somewhat less comfortable
position than he had supposed himself to
be assured of when he addressed his COM
placent suggestion to the prospective Re
publican candidate"
But several important facts are to be
remembered in this connection.
Chairman Burrows forgot to tell the
convention about the publicity letter" he
received from Mr.. Taft.
The Republican Congress forgot to pass
a law providing for publicity.
The Republican national convention,
which nominated Mr.. Taft, defeated, by a
vote of $50 nays to "a yeas, the LaFol-
lette plank providing for publicity.
And the best the Republican party is
willing to do on this line is the promise
that sAFTER the election" Republican

"After the Election"

A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune I'M
der date of New York, July %, follows ::
'The report that the Standard Oil Com
pany is about to announce an increase OF
$5O0,0OO0OO in it's capital stock was re-
ceived with great interest in the financial
district here to-day. Similar rumors have
been circulated several times in the last
few years, particularly in the West, but
generally they have been met with denials
by the Standard Oil interests. A promi-
nent fnancier who has close relations
with the Standard Oil Company said: l
am sure that it is the same old story re-
vived again and that there is nothing in
it. Certainly this would be a most in
opportune time to take any such action,
with a presidential election only a few
months ahead of us. | suppose it is pos
sible that something of that kind may
be done some time in the future, but not
this year-not now"
This would be 'a most inopportune
time" to pump half billion gallons of
water into the Standard Oil stock. If
anything like that is done it will be in
latter the election"

paign funds from the special bene6ciaries

"After the election" the contributions
to the campaign fund will be published
when it is too late for the people to learn
that the trusts pay the bill for the Re
publican campaign.
"After the election" Standard Oil trust
stock will be watered-if that course suits
the purposes of the Rockefellers and the
Rogerses; and "after the election
should the people re-elect the special priv
ileges' party-they will pay dearly for
their Indifference to the solemn warning
confronting them on every hand.
