CHAPTER XIX.


Thank heaven!" exclaimed strong
for he was sick OF the carnage.
The blue fame was perfectly visible
az the palace, and from the communr
cations which NJ. Stalvan had made
10 the king during the debate his ma
iesty was perfectly acquainted wi'H
what the flame meant, and. observing
IL from the palace. he cursed Strong
roundly.
Thereuron began civil war.
For his part though, he was pro
foundry thankful that NJ. Stalvan hau
come TO see The way of peace. STRONG
none the less wondered how he was 10
enter into peaceable possession OF the
city. The glare thrown from the burn
ing houses was still so bright that ~

troops welcomed the blue light OF sur

was passing beneath him arr exeeifent
lesson Ia the power of personality
For. while the troops about the min.
istry cheered. making no secret ot
their JOY as they took their helmets
from their heads and hoisted them
upon their rifles, the troops stationed
I half way up the main street were
su.len In their demeanor.
Strong swung the Victor over the
palace, ard here there We're no signs
/ OF surrender. Scarcely five minutes.
indeed. after the showing OF the piue
light over the roof of the ministry
the troops about the palace began TO
move.
The men stationed on the palace
roof were withdrawn. The artillery
men in the courtyard began TO timber
up. The regiments OF infantry. winch
bad been massed in the gardens on
either side OF the palace were railing
in. The troopers OF the two regl-
ments of cavalry which had been MD
Den in the old portion OF the city be
hind the palace were ordered TO their
horses.
For Few minutes Strong wondered
what this might mean, but then the
motive IT the movement became per
fectly clear
NJ. Stalvan &as not to defy the
king or pursue his own way unchal-
! lenged.
So here was apretty problem set our.
For. while Strong practically remain
ed master OF the town, yet he was un
able to enter into possession OF II.
NJ. Stalvan, as representative OF the
people. desired 10 lay down his arms.
/ The king. while any troops remained
: loyal 10 him. refused to surrender.
| With the idea Of avoiding further
bloodshed. especially the bloodshed
caused by civil war, Strong made
several efforts to get into communica-
ton with the palace. But in this he
was unsuccessful for some time.
After Il while. however, there came
faint flicker in answer He asked
who was there.
The reply was Diana
Whereabouts are you"

Physical Body in the Future LIE.

To the Editor OF The Times: Have
read ex-senator William +. Chandler s
theory as to the abode and conditions
OF those who have hidden adieu to
these mortal shores. and of the many
theories and speculations which have
been set forth by man. Mr.. Chandler .
Is as good. and is entitled TO as SER
ious consideration as any OF them.
His idea of physical form and ma
terial body in the future life is some
thing tangible. have never been
able to comprehend. TO understand.
low a body can be other than material.
though We are told of a spiritual
body" That We shall make our home
on our sun, or Sirius, the dog-star, is
certainly new idea. IL astronomers
can be believed, those great lights are
many times hotter than the furnace
used for melting iron. Astronomers
tell us also that our sun has been for
countless ages cooling of and that a
time must come when its bright light
will be extinguished and our solar sys-
TEN swing blind and blackening In
eternal space" The same Being who
said, Let there be light" Will say,
Let there be darkness" for He Is the
creator and manager OF the universe.
Theories and speculations upon the
subject of future life do not remove
doubt or. in other words, do not sat
isfy. I am not one of those who de-
clare there Ia no life beyond this. for,
no one has been able 10 prove there Is
none. neither has any one been able
to prove satisfactorily that there Is.

asked questions which have not yet
been answered. I will quote: For
there is hope OF the tree, IL it be
cut down that II will sprout again. and
that the tender branch thereof will not
cease. though the root thereof wax old
I'm the earth. and the stock thereof
die In the ground, but man dieth and
wasteth away: yea. man giveth up
the ghost and where is he?" IF a
mar die shall he live again." Is anoth-
or question asked by Job. His COM
forters did not fully answer these
oucstions. No doubt that Job In his
aff,iction preferred death II he could
be assured OF future life, but as he
could not, he said: II will wait all the
DAYS OF my appointed time until my
change come" And we must all wait
and | am very willing to walt. We

Concerning "Hinky Dink" and Bath
house john"

To the Editor OF The TtTes:-The
following facts may prove interesting
to our citizens in view of the recent
startling disclosures in the city or
Chicago.
The relations respecting The two
distinguished citizens above referred
10 and their method Of conducting az
fairs will doubtless surprise and
shock the good people OF our city,
and especially the information that
they were introduced originally and
had been endorsed and supported in
their aldermanic careers by one OF
the most prominent and respected cit.
zens and merchants of that city, Mr..
Marshall Field, now deceased. The
facts. however, are undisputed.
Proceedings were begun against
the heirs of that estate to recover
back taxes amounting to two millions
OF dollars on property which had been
concealed. The matter was compro.
missed and settled out of court by the
payment OF one and three-uuarter mil.
lion of dollars ($1,750.000.)
enclose herewith a slip published
recently in the press dispatches from
West Virginia wherein the authorities
seek to recover $1,790,00u from the
estate of the late United States Sena.
tor johnson N. Camden under a for.
feiture clause OF their tax law for
taxes on property which had not been
disclosed.
Perhaps what will surprise our citi.
zens still more Is the fact that while
this condition exists In all the large
cities we ourselves cannot claim ex.
emption. and the same relative con.
dition Of affairs is right here with us
and probably to a greater extent than
is generally suspected.
Your correspondent AYERS that dur.
ing the past 10 years more than one.
half a million of dollars have not been
contributed to the city treasury and
for reasons similar to the above.
Now In the states OF illinois and
West Virginia. the laws provide a
remedy for such delinquencies. but
such Is not the case I'm Michigan.
Here 1t Is lost and cannot be recoy.
cred.
And would It not be well while tink.
ering with the tax law tee coming
session. that being customary as you
know and not always with the best
designs, to direct the attention of the
gentlemen to this very essential point
so that In the future all contributors
to the tax budget will be practically
on an even keel and the small fry
may have more even chance with
the big fish. Yours respectfully,
