being tickled with straw. After
a while the sensation became intol-

Sleep. however, pressed with a
heavy hand upon my eyelids.
At last a voice said, THAT will

opened my eyes and looked up
into the impressive face of Sir
Charles Venner. I was seated up
right in high backed chair,
strapped securely in position. The
negro surgeon, Jussieu, whom l
had last seen at the Kingsmere
hospital for consumptives, was
standing to the right of Sir Charles
and the three of us were grouped
about the center of a small, un.
carpeted, brick floored room. The
negro, Beudant, stood near the
closed door. Of sudden I re-
membered all. Marion had lured
me to this river park and betrayed
me with Judas kiss into the
hands Of my enemies. Too late she
had repented Of her treachery and
tried to save me. She had
swooned; I had knelt beside her
body and some one had stunned
me with a club. 1t was all very

Seven hours later Cir Charles en-
tered my prison cellar with his
ebony attendants, who bore be-
tween them a small table spread
with lamps and one or two strange,
ugly looking implements. Bidding
Beudant shut the door, he turned
to me and said:
Hume, after all, you lied to

founded. Then quickly recovering
my countenance, exclaimed: "Oh,
yes, yes. You have discovered it.
Yes, yes, lied to you. The jewels
are really hidden behind the Sec
ond volume of Buttons Anatomy
of Melancholy in the bookshelf on
the eastern wall of Sir William
Dagmar's library"
Sir Charles favored me with a
black frown. you are such an
accomplished liar!" he said, coldly,
that ! can no longer rely upon
your unsupported word"
What would you do?" l cried.
Persuade you to be honest with
foretaste of damnation!"
At that | felt my blood run cold
within me.
You monster!" I gasped. "You
would really torture me?"
II shall" he retorted. "Jussieu,
will you please operate"
"But certainly, monsieur" re-
piled the brutal black. In another
moment my left hand was encased
in curious steel glove, which held
the fingers widely separated In
rigid iron stalls.

RAILROAD RATE
DOUBLED

The Northern Pacific railroad
has served notice on the county
commissioners that no more char
ity rates will be given by that line
where the fare is under IS cents.
This. means that the cost of send
ing a patient to the county poor
farm at Spangle will now be
doubled. Heretofore, under the
charity rate, the fare to Spangle
for the 1nfortunates sent there by
the county over the Northern Pa
cific has been 30 cents, but under
the new ruling the county must
pay the regular fare, 80 cents.

TA|LORS PLAN
WORLD UNION
By PETER POWER.

The journeymen tailors of North
America are now voting on the
question of joining in a permanent
worlds federation with their fellow
craftsmen of Europe, Australia,
South America and South Africa.
This is the sequel of confer.
ence recently held in Denmark, at
which delegates we're present from
America, England, Scotland, Ire
land, Austria, Hungary, Holland,
Switzerland, German and Denmark
and who represented nearly 100000
members.
At that gathering it was decided
to invite other countries to enter
the federation, to interchange
union working cards and to extend
all possible support to any nation
ality in trouble.
If. for example, strike or lock-
out of considerable dimensions oc-
ours in America, the international
secretary, whose headquarters are
at Berlin, is notified and he in turn
sends warnings to officials in the
various countries to proven twork-
ingmen from emigrating to this
country until the trouble has been
adjusted.
Another important matter that
has been taken UP is that of the
sweating system that prevails m
some branches of the clothing
trade. 1t is proposed to organize
the Russians and Italians in their
home countries. These nationali-
ties are the worst exploited work
ers on earth, at least in the manu-
facture of clothing. BY reaching
those tailors in their own land and
language before they leave for
other shores the pressure from
their competition would be consid-
erably relieved in some of the
countries.
Still another plan that Is to 'be
worked out is that of preventing
the spread Of contagious diseases
by the shipment of clothing manu-
featured In infected districts.
Every precaution will be taken by
the unions by cooperating with
public authorities to keep disease
confined to the norrowest possible
limits, adm stamp it out by the
application of radical measures.
Although several unsuccessful
attempts have been made to feder.
ate the various branches in the
clothing trade. the promoters of
the plan are not discouraged by
their failures and will endeavor to
form a combination in the near
future. The labor people argue
that the trusts are centralizing
their forces and that 1t is neces-
sary for the workers to follow
their example or be crushed.
