CHAPTER ". Friends and Enemies.

In the meanwhile the two gallants were returning from their visit to the witch's tent.
 As they came down the steps. more than one voice among the passers-by enquired eagerly.
 What fortune. sirs?
 Tn truth she hath strange powers" was the somewhat guarded response.
 The two men strolled up to a neigh boring wine-vendor and ordered some wine. They had thrown their cloaks aside and removed their masks. for the air was close. The rich. slashed doublets. thus fully displayed. the fine lace at throat and wrist. the silken hose and chased daggers, all betokened the high quality and wealth of the wearers.
 Neither of them seemed much above thirty years of age: each had the air of a man in the prime of life and in the full enjoyment of all the good things which the world cah give.
 But in their actual appearance they presented a marked contrast
 The one tall and ad-shouldered, 1orid of complexion and somewhat red dish about the hair, with small, point ed beard: the other short. slender and alert, with keen, restless eyes, and with sensuous lips forever curled in a smile of thinly-veiled sarcasm.
 Though outwardly on most familiar terms together, there was distinctly apparent between the two men an air of reserve and even of decided, if per haps friendly, antagonism.

 Nay reJoined Don Miguel, affect l ing not to notice the slight tone of sarcasm in his friends pleasant voice,
 T scarce caught a glimpse of the wench's face, The tent was so dark and her movements were so swift.' There was moments silence. Lord Eyeringham seemed lost in meditation. You are thoughtful, milor,'' re- marked Don Miguel. Have the genii of the moon conquered your own usu- ally lively spiritsg'
 Nay, I was thinking of the curious resemblance, unused Everingham. A resemblance Ito whom?"
 "As "ou say, the tent was dark and the wench's movements swift. yet could see that. though coarsely clad and i'll l-kempt, that witch, whom they call Mirrab, is the very physical coun- terpart of the new court beauty. the Lady Ursula Glynde.
 The fiancee of the Duke of wessex," exclaimed the Spaniard. "Impossible.' Nay, my lord" rejoined Everingham pointedly, 'she scarce can be called His Graces fiancee as yet They were children in their cradles when her father plighted their troth."
 The Spaniard made no immediate re- ply: with an affected, effeminatet ges- ture he was gently stroking his long, black moustache. Everingham, on the other hand, was eyeing him keenly, with certain, look of defiance and challenge and, in a moment, the antag- onism between the two men appeared more marked than before.

An Open Letter
To The People of Montgom-
 cry.

To Whom It May Concern:
 of late there has been a good deal of discussion in Montgomery in regard to advertised medicines and their value the papers are full Of them
 We want to say to every man, wo- man and child in Montgomery that we believe the most valuable preparation of cod liver oil-the best tonic re- constructor, health restorer and strength creator we have ever sold in our store is VinoI.
 Vinol is not a patent medicine, it contains no injurious drugs but it actually does contain all of the medi- cinal, curative elements taken from fresh cOds' flyers, without a drop of the useless oil to upset the stomach and retard its work, and tonic iron added.
 VinoI is recognized throughout the world as the greatset strength crea- tor for old people. weak, sickly wo- men and children, nursing mothers and after a severe sickness.
 Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic colds, bronchitis. and all throat and lung troubles. We ask the people of Montgomery to try Vinol on our offer to return money if 1t fails. E. G. Fowler, Druggist.

New Plans Necessary for School
improvements.

The meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton which was called to consider the
proposition of rebuilding the Second
ward school building was postponed
indefinitely, and an advertisement has
been published for new bids under the
revised plans and specifications now
being prepared by Architect M.
Kerns of Ottumwa. Mr.. Kerns was
In the city this week looking over the
building and he Is now preparing speci-
fications for the new bids. 1t was
found that under the old plans the
work could not be done as cheaply as
had been expected. The appropria-
ton voted upon is $1,000 and the plans
were revised to come within that
amount. 1t has been determined that
the old roof of the building may be
saved by reinforcing it with steel
rods and 1t will not be replaced. The
tower is to be torn down and not re-
built and, otherwise, the old plans will
be conformed with in practically every
detail
Miss Alta M. Boyer has handed in
her resignation as teacher in the Sec
ond ward school She states as her
reason for resigning that she desires
to continue her studies in college.
The Board will act on the resignation

1T CAUGHT HIS EYE.
Editor Of the Modern Merchant Copies
.. Bee Hive Add.

The Modern Merchant, a leading
trade paper, noticed a recent page adj
vertisement which the Bee Hive store
of this city had in the Herald not long
ago, and it reproduces it in the issue
of July 4. Criticising the advertise
ment 1t says:
The critic thinks pretty well OF
your ad, Mr.. Bee Hive. do think,
however, that you have too many dis
play heads at top of ad and II your en-
cravings could be a little better and
more up-to-date it would be better. But
perhaps that not your fault. I've
done advertising for firms who would
not spend a cent for cuts and as a
consequence the ads were not very
slightly. Pictures attract attention
and they sell goods, too. At an ex-
pense of fifteen or twenty dollars a
season for good illustrations a coun-
try store can make its advertising
much more attractive and greatly in
crease its pulling power. Buy more
cuts-buy better cuts. Oskaloosa,
Iowa. is a nice little city with daily
paper and this is all the more reason
why good cuts should be used.

DECISION IS UPHELD. WORK is DELAYED.
Judge Willcockson Sustained In
Local Road Case.

A decision of the Supreme Court of
Iowa has just been handed down in
an interesting Mahaska county case,
affirming the findings of Hon. K. n.
Willcockson. The case is that of G..
w. Davis VS.. M. X. Pickerell, ct al.
The suit was brought by Mr.. Davis
In the fall of last year against Mr..
Pickerell, road supervisor of West
Des Moines township, and the three
trustees of that township to collect
damages in the sum of 5000 claimed
to have been sustained by the alleged
destruction of runaway under the
road. The plaintiff, Davis, alleged in
his petition that he had constructed a
runway three feet wide and fourteen
feet long under road, which divides
his land with the permission of the
county board of supervisors secured
about twenty-five years ago. The run
way was constructed to enable the
stock, pastured in the north field, to
go under the road into the south field,
where there was spring of water.
IlC uliSbCu lhdl hNpI
way and the road at that place in good
repair and that he had never heard
any complaints regarding the same
until in June, 1907, when Mr.. Pick
erell, working under the instruction
of the township trustees, without Civ
ing the plaintiff due notice, removed
the runway and filled in the road with
dirt. On account of having his two
pieces of pasture land separated with
out any convenient means of access
from one to the other, the plaintiff
alleged that he. was required to en-
ploy additional help to care for the
thirty head of cattle he was raising
for the fall market, and that he was
compelled to sell them earlier than
he had intended and at sacrifice in
price. .N ...
The defendants filed a motion for a
more specific statement to this petit
ton and, in compliance with the order
of the court, the plaintiff amended his
petition and showed that the consent
of the board of supervisors to con-
struct the runway, which he had
claimed he secured twenty-five years
ago, was a verbal agreement. The
amendment also showed that in the
last year the runway had been rebuilt
at different location in the road from
where the original one was construct
ed, whereupon the defendants demur'
red to the petition. .....
On November IL the cause came on
for hearing before Judge Willcockson
on the demurrer, and the same was
sustained and judgment was rendered
against the plaintiff for costs. The
case was appealed and the supreme
court affirmed the finding of the lower
court The opinion was handed down
by Laid. John o. Malcolm, Z. Y. Or
Wis and David Waggoner were attor
neys for the plaintiff and J. +. & w
R. Lacey and J. C. Williams for the
defendants.

MEASLES IS DEADLY
CAUSES MORE DEATHS THAN
SCARLET FEVER-CASES
NEED GUARDING.

Des Moines, Ia, July 11.-"More
deaths resulted from measles than
from scarlet fever in Iowa." SAID DIR.
Louis A. Thomas, secretary of the
state board of health, yesterday, land
as many deaths resulted from it as
from some of the other more dreaded
diseases.
Complaint has been made that the
board of health has been too stringent
in requiring restrictions to be placed
over cases of measles, but the reason
ought to be obvious when it is known
that the mortality from that disease is
SO great.
During the first five and half
months of the year there were 4,19l
cases of measles in Iowa or just 40 per
cent of all of the cases of infectious
diseases reported to the state board Of
health. The total was 10,39S.
Following were the number of cases
of each disease reported to the board
for the first five and half months of
the year, according to the report made
public yesterday by the state board of
health.
