CHAPTE VII.

"Ballera! Ballera!"
AS the number went up at the side
of the stage the auditorium resounded
with a vociferous shout of welcome.
The great Hippodrome was packed in
every part, and as the turn Of the
evening was reached the excitement of
the vast crowd was raised to the high
est pitch.
Judith Ballard, the famous singer
and dancer, was a name to ~conjure
with in the variety world, and the
management was congratulating itself
upon having secured such a certain at
traction for It's hall. A sweet-voiced
singer, a most enhancing dancer, she
had suddenly sprung from nowhere
and secured fame and success at the
first bid. A young woman, almost a
girl. rather under the average height,
q perfectly modelled figure, a bewitch-
ing face lit up by laughing eyes and
crowned with a glory OF red-gold hair
such was the Judith Ballard whom
all Manchester raj crowding to see.
Percy Twist settled himself back in
his stall and lighted a cigar with the
air of a man very well content with
himself. He looked upon the blase
men and callow youths around him
with a cynical smile Of contempt,
while he shrugged his shoulders with
Impotence at the anticipatory round
Of applause
The band played through a few
back, and Judith Balara tripped on to
the stage.
As Twist glanced at the graceful lit.
tie figure dancing before him like a
gossamer fairy, his apathy was sud
denly aroused to something resembling
a faint show of interest. The thought
flashed across his mind that the face
Of the dancer was not altogether unfa-
miliar to him, but where or how he
had see her before he was unable to
remember. The dance finished amid
a tumult Of applause and Twist settled
back in his seat with puzzled brows,
searching his memory for the elusive
clue to the artiste's identity.
The band struck up the staccato &C
compartment to a Spanish dance and
Judith Ballard literally flung herself
into the wild abandon of a fandango.
The 1.-the body swayed backward and
forward to the click of the c~astanets;
in the vast audience heads nodded and
feet tapped time to the music; then
with the excitement worked up to the
highest pitch, the music ceased in a
crash of chords, and, with a final
stamp Of the feet, hands on hips, and
back half-turned to the audience, Ju-
dith Ballard smiled over her shoulder,
holding a red rose between her teeth.
And in that instant recollection
came to Percy Twist. He remembered
q photograph, taken in that very pose.
which he had seen in the possession Of
Montagu Winton. Who was Judith
BALLARD, and what part did she play in
the life of Winton? Twist soon form
ed a theory Of his own upon the sub
ject, and he determined to test It at
the earliest opportunity.
He was . nan who made ep his

When the medical profession fully

THE VERDICT STANDS. i,

The newspapers of the state seem
to be pretty generally agreed that
as a matter of justice, apart from
the wisdom of 1t all from party
standpoint, the primary verdict in
the senatorship should stand and
that there should be no move in the
legislature to set it aside. There is,
naturally, a difference of opinion
as to the best means of. electing
senators and as to the best men to be
elected to the senatorship. The fed
eral constitution provides for the
election of senators by the legis-
lative assembly, and in no other
way can senator be chosen. But
it has been held that the people of
the state have the right to express
themselves as to their popular choice
although not legally binding pledge
can be imposed upon a member of
the legislature to abide the choice
of the primaries. Inasmuch as all
the candidates for the senatorship
participated in the primaries it
would seem that all should abide
the result.
Bismarck daily tribune., 1908-11-12
WE CANNOT FLAG AROUND
THE PRIMARY. 81. -. -

According to the Minneapolis
Journal, Senator Hansbrough states
that he will not abide the senator
ial primary and if he has been cor
rectly reported the statement means
that he will be a candidate before
the legislature for the honor he fall
ed to obtain in the primary election
in June. The senator has his right
to refuse or abide the primaries on
the claim that many Democrats
voted at the primary recently held,
and that members of the legisla-
ture are not legally or morally
bound to obey the expression Of the
y people.
The Tribune has already stated
its views on this matter which will,
after all, resolve itself into a set
tiement with the Individual members
OF the legislature. There is a large
4 Republican majority in the legisla-
ture, and the members were elect
ed with knowledge of the pri-
mary to be held and the fact that
the senatorship was involved. If
there is any outcome Of the senator
ial election different from that voted
as the desire Of the Republicans Of
the state on November 8, the result
will be party result and the Re-
publican party of the state as fe@
presented in the legislature will
bear the responsibility of having
4 elected q senator other than the
one having the greatest number of
\ votes at the state primary. This
will be an important responsibility
for the party to assume, and the
leaders of the party should weigh
carefully what is apt to be the res
nit, if any are inclined to look with
favor on disregarding the primary
choice. !.

A ROYAL FUNERAL.
Strange Ceremonies That Mark the
! Burial of Spanish King.

Strange Ceremonies That Mark the
" Burial Of Spanish King.
I Strange and almost weird is the GER
emonial which accompanies the burial
Of Spanish kings. The pantheon, or
royal tomb, is at the palace Of the
Escurial, situated 5000 feet above the
level of the sea and some distance
from the capital. Only kings, queens
and mothers Of kings.are buried there,
the collins Of the kings lying on one
side, those Of the queens on the other.
After lying in state for several days
In the throne room In Madrid an enor-
nous procession is formed, accompany
ing the body to the Escurial. A halt
is made on the way, and the corpse
rests there for one night. rs Is
@ In the morning the lord high cham
berlain stands at the side Of the coffin
and says in loud tones, 'sIs your majes-
ty pleased to proceed on your jour
ney?" After short silence the pro-
cession moves on and wiads up to the
grand portal Of the palace. These
doors are never opened except to ad-
init royal parsonage, dead or alive.
When the casket containing the re-
mains is at last placed in the vault
the chamberlain unlocks it and, kneel-
ing down, calls with a loud voice:

QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.

Made of Adobe In Bolivia Growing
Trees Used In Africa.
The most original telegraph line In
the world once extended from the cap
ital Of Bolivia, La Paz, to the. town of
sOruro. In this part Of Bolivia there
are no growing trees, and wood is so
difficult to find that even the ordinary
household furniture of the natives is
Invariably made not of wood, but of
dried mud or adobe.
So when the war broke out between
Chile and Bolivia and telegraph line
became urgent it was adobe that was
chosen for the queerest telegraph poles
/. In existence. These pillars Were built
on stone foundations and measured
about five feet square at the base, with
a height Of about fifteen feet. Il i +
They were placed at intervals Of
about 361 feet and thus held the wire
at height sufficient to clear the only
animals of the country, the llama and
the donkey. The total length of the
line was 156 miles. (. a.s,. @ %.a. ST. ;.
Among other curious telegraph lines
is the growing pole line erected in
Uganda by an English engineer, who
could not find any dead wood which
would withstand the white ants and
hit upon the idea Of transporting grow
ing bark cloth trees to the side Of the
roads and using them as poles.
In the Dutch East Indies growing
trees are turned to account also, but
there a wire is stretched across the
road between the trees on either side,
and the insulator is suspended in i
middle, and the line is thus over the
road and clear from vegetation. Chi

Watch SPRINGS.

The watch carried by the average
man is composed Of nfnety-eight pieces.
and its manufacture embraces more
than 1000 distinct and separate opera
tions. 1t. h
Hairspring wire weighs one-twenti-
eth of a grain to the inch One mile Of
wire weighs less than half pound.
The balance gives five vibrations ev-
cry second, 200 every minute, $4,000
every hour, $4,000 every day and 157,-
6S0,000 every year.
The value Of springs when finished
and placed in watches is enormous in
proportion to the material from which,
they are made. A ton Of steel made up
into hairsprings when in watches is
worth more than twelve and one-half
times the value Of the same weight in
pure gold.
