that the Division Engineer had

ment should wait until the open
ing of the Intercoastal Canal.
Maj. McIndoe advises that in
terested parties have the right OF
appeal from the Division Engin-
eer's decision to the Board Of En-
gineers at Washington. He stat
ed further that he had been di
rected to notify interested par
ties that the Board desired ad'
ditional information regarding
the commerce to be affected and
the necessity for the improve
ments before submitting its re-
port.

Maj. McIndoe thanking him for

SECOND PRIMARY
ELECTION TUESDAY.
IambremOnt Next Lieut.. Gov
ernor, Capdevielle Auditor,
Gui0n, Attorney General,
and Grace Register
Land Office.

The second primary election on
Tuesday passed off very quietly.
Very little interest was manifested and
hardly fifty per cent of the votes cast
in the first primary was cast. The
official returns for the parish by pre-
cincts is given elsewhere in this issue.
Only two local contests took place,
one in the second ward for police ju-
ror and one in the third ward for JUS
tice of the peace.
The vote in New Orleans, while not
as large as in the first primary, was
heavy. but throughout the State
showed big falling off.
The returns for State officers are as
follows:
For Lieutenant Governor Bailey
32,306, Lambremont, 81, lbs.
For State Auditor - Capdevielle.
80, ,644, Frazee 23,907.
For Attorney General-Coco y, SOB.
Guion 49, 753.
For Register Land Office ce-Crandall
81, ,921, Grace 33, l89.
The above figures are based on Of
fetal returns and authentic estimates,
but it is believed that the official re-
turns when all in will show create
majority for Grace and some changes
in the other figures, but not enough
to change the result as to nominations

pronerlv INDIGNANT Reuuar.

Poor Anna Gould! Among her 9th
er troubles she has had a bitter ex
perience with the professional French
beggar. Most of the wealthy owners
of country houses on the outskirts OF
Paris are afflicted with what may be
called their "beggars in ordinary"
These fellows are highly aristocratiC
in their mendicancy and must have
their wants attended to at their own
convenience. One such was waiting al
Nine. Annals castle at an early hour.
Just after her fifth quarrel with Boni
She had been up nearly all night and
slept late. The beggar waxed impatient,
and, turning fiercely upon the foot
man, said: .-...
How long dye suppose she'll be be-
fore she comes?"
Really can't say" replied the valet
maybe ten minutes, maybe three
hours"
Then I'll tell ye what 1t is, "growled
the mendicant "she may provide her
self with another beggar-tell her that
from mel" And off he went.

Of a supply house; so it was not sur
prising that he brought news of
strange and unusual purchases made
through many sources by the United
States government. In this there was
nothing alarming, and it was rather
with curiosity that the astute de-
scendant of a Samurai looked over
these reports and vaguely wondered
whether they might have bearing on
war. He was sufficiently painstaking
to ask for others and check them up;
but in this he gained nothing beyond
the certainty that the navy depart
ment, while existing in state OF
seeming stagnation, was inwardly
very active. He made many trips to
the points where these purchases
were made, but found them innocuous
in so far as he could reason.
| AS time went on, however, he found
that the greater portion of these ship
ments were being sent to Miami, Fla,
and was driven to the final conclusion
that if the government was active in
Suy way at all, the key must be at the
small city on the southeastern coast.
News had leaked through to him to
the effect that the ships of the United
states were scattering out over many
suas instead of mobilizing in western
waters. More than this, Seigo learned
tiat in all navy yards there had been
a cessation of work. whereas an in
crease would have seemed more rea-
soaable, considering the unfinished
state of several cruisers and battle
shiDs.
Cn first thought he attributed this
latter lapse to one of the frequent
changes of policy or dearth of funds,
but now, in view of these later ship.
ments and purchases he began to
question. In Washington no news was
bfainable. The administration was

Only the world but its own people as

knew nothing beyond the declaration
OF war and the empowering of the
president and his cabinet in specia

CHAPTER IV.-continued.

The prime minister, as if recog-
nizing their informant's plight, IN a
friendly tone of voice said "Mr. Hill
lier, l presume you are tired after
your journey and would like to rest
before any further discussion of this
subject. l would suggest that you go
to your chambers and return here to-
morrow"
What sense is there in his re-
turning?" came the angry question OF
the lord of the admiralty, as the Sec
retary bowed himself out Of the room.
He doesn't even know, l presume,
that Japan is already sending every
available ship she has against the
western coast of America as fast as
steam will carry it,
Sending an invading fleet against
an apparently passive country in some
part of which was the woman he
loved! This thought reiterated itself
through Guys mind as he passed down
the corridor and out into the din and
movement of the street. Where
could she be now, he wondered, and
what of her father? Insane. perhaps,
and incapable of Offering her protec-
ton of which she would stand so sadly
in need in case of Japanese success.
The words of letter which he car
ried in his pocket, and which to HIM
was of more Importance than the dis
matches he delivered, constantly re-
Cured to him:
TT is always within the realms OF
possibility, when war is on a land,
that friends may never meet again. IL
such should be our case, | pray that
you will remember this, even up to the
last---I loved you"
In the dusk of early evening an
army of countless men and women
hurrying to the trans, the tubes and
the buses, swept past him ignorant Of
his misery. What was war to them
in country thousands of miles across
a sea and in which perhaps there was
none bound to them by ties OF atfec-
ton? The United States might iso-
late itself by sea and intrench itself
behind cordons of soldiers; but he
would go back! Yes, he would find
a way to pass all their barriers and
gain the side of the woman who mer-
tied his protection through her aVowed
love, and in this, her hour OF need,
seemed crying out to him across the
uttermost spaces of the world, be
seeching him to return-oniy to re
turn!

CHAPTER v.
In Secret Paths.

Nippon, the home of the Samurai,
in her adoption of newer methods, had
not permitted her secret service de-
partment to remain in ancient form.
Modelled on those lines which had
made the intelligence bureau of Rus
sia one of the most effective in the
entire world, and prOtiting by the pub
licity given to nearly every movement
of importance in the United States,
she was minutely informed Of all that
had been and was taking place in the
country she hoped to overcome. She
had depended upon this knowledge as
q valued factor for the subjugation OF
the American colossus. not foreseeing
that a country capable Of closing Its
doors to the world would also find
means to circumvent foreign agents.
To the last minute she relied upon her
emissaries in nearly all the larger
cities of America under the direction
of Count Seigo.
Away back in the time of the Toku'
gawa Shogunate, when the almost in
vincible leader Seigo was an idol to
the youth of Satsuma to be toppled
over only in the civil war of 1877, his
son was being educated in a leading
American university. The downfall
of the father practically eXiled the lad
in the United States until family and
political influence had time to reas
sert itself, when by progressive steps
he gained the good graces of his gov
ernment and was given responsible
positions in affairs of state. Hi!
knowledge of the American politica
situation was complete and accurate
and no man was better informed OF
the strength and weakness of the re
public.
It had been largely through his ad
vice that the dispute between the TIVE
nations, trivial in itself but porten
tous in possibilities, had been used a
q pretext for war. Thoroughly con
versant with congressional method
in the United States, he had watchet
year by year the quibblings of legis
lators over naval bills which usual,
ended in inadequate appropriations

YIELDS OF BARLEY

The highest yield of six-rowed bar
ley in 1907 at the Ontario expert
ment station was produced from
special strain originated from a Sc
lection from the Manshury barley,
originated at the college in 1906. The
college has produced a considerable
number of hybrid barleys by using
the Manshury as one of the par
ents. Of six varieties of two-rowed
barleys grown for IA years in sue.
cession two-rowed Canadian, Jarman,
selected beardless and New Zealand
Chevalier ranked first in yield, with
64.6, 63.8 and 62.2 bushels per acre,
respectively.
OF the hulless variety grown for
IA years in succession, Guy Maybe
ranked first with 48.3 bushels, Pur-
Pile second with asa bushels, and
Black Hulless third with 44.9 bushels.
The last mentioned variety is the
most extensively grown throughout
Ontario. Winter barley at the col
lege for IL years has given an ay-
erage yield of 56.5 bushels Of grain
and 1.3 tons of straw per acre. In
| 1907, Of three winter varieties, Ten
nessee was the most productive
yielding 53.4 bushels per acre. Dur
ing the past IA years winter barley
has been completely killed out on
three occasions.
