had spent many years of their lives

came into his eyes.

Haggard and despondent, Gen. Bos-

staff, dropped his eyes as Jerry ap-
preached to within few feet of him,
and without looking up he held out his
sword with a trembling hand.
II vaccept your surrender in the
name of the Confederacy. of .Urania,"
said Jerry, with great dignity, being
duly delegated by Gen. Barado, com
manding the forces of the confederacy
in the field"
Then Gen. Bostos glanced up for
the first time and held out his sword
again, Jerry continuing: Gen. Ba.

sword, Gen. Bostos."
Bostos' eyes dropped again, but
when he lifted them the second time
his chin fell and he took a startled
step backward. For a moment his
eyes were fixed in a CLASSY stare.
"You-you who escaped-!"

Gen. Bostos, now flrnnly reconciled
to the situation, promised the presi-

agreed that Marina, if found, should
share the honor of the proposed recep-
tion to the beloved Capt. Jerry.
The reception was set, for May 5,
when the first great fiesta de paisanos

should be in full sway at the capital.
AS the time dragged on, Jerry be.
came more and more despondent over
the fate of Marina Bostos. At last,
he had come to share the general be-
lief that she either had succumbed to
illness or had been killed.

CHAPTER XII.
On to Pandaro.

ION to Pandaro! On to Pandaro!
This cry rang exultantly from the
throats of thousands in the drawn-up
ranks Of the victorious army as Jerry
Chambers escorted the fallen leader
of the governments forces past the
soldiers to Gen. Barado's tent.
The rigid. etiquette of war was for
gotten when the two grizzled leaders
met: Apparently oblivious to their
surroundings, they embraced each
other, and the tears from Gen. Ba-
RADIOS eyes were as sincere and fast
falling as those which dimmed the
sight Of the vanquished Bostos.
"On to Pandaro! On to Pandaro!"
again and again burst from the ranks.
Gen. Bostos shall be my guesst,"
said Barado, after he had regained
control of his emotions; 'he shall en-
Joy every privilege, every honor, every
respect to. which I am entitled.P
"On to Pandaro! On to Pandaro!"
"Yes-on to Pandaro!" cried Ba-
rado, bringing his form TO it's full
height, see1ning g for a moment to for
get his old friend. Then. his eyes mel
lowing and his. voice softening, he
placed his hand on Bostos' shoulder
and said: 1T is the fortune Of, war,
my old friend, and it has been against
you. Though the tide of battle has
swept you from your feet, my love%for
you now is even stronger thantit was:
when we stood side by side and fought
for the old cause-fought for the re-
public Your freedom shall be unre-
stricted; your every desire shall be
gratihed."
Barado ,grasped the hand Of. the
fallen leader with the warmth of true
love, and with a whispered word of
comfort, left the tent. The few mem
bers of the staff, excepting g Jerry, de-
parted with him. Gen. Bostos sat down
on a campstool and Immediately fell
into deep meditation. Jerry, standing
near the entrance to the tent, keenly
symDathized with him. The general
was the first to break the long silence
"Tell me, Capt. Chambers" he said,
laboriously, where is my Marina?"
THAT cannot tell you, Gen. Bos-
tos," was the answer.
'You do not know?"
''She may return to you."
Mono, mol" the old man cried;
'she must not come to me, against
whom she has so deeply sinned! l
shall not look into her face; I shall
I shall strike her Gowl!"
Jerrys first impulse was to retort
sharply, but it expired in pity for the
vanquished leader, who seemed almost
ready to collapse. ..
Gen. .Bostos," he began, slowly and
calmly, "you cruelty wrong Senorita
Bostos, who, in the face of what she
has done, still remains the little saint
Of all Urania-the first woman in the
heart of every soldier. You still have
the fathers heart, and, though the for

must retain some of the old love yes,

man, tremblingly, his eyes showing the
fear that was behind them.

TO TAKE CENSUS
County Commissioners Take First
Step in Incorporating
Roundup as City.

The county commissioners have
appointed Wm.J. Jameson to take a
census of Roundup to determine
how many bona fide residents the
city has, this step being necessary
to the incorporation of the city.
The census will have to show that
there are at least 800 residents here
after which the commissioners will
set a date of election at which the
people will decide whether they
wish to incorporate or not. AS
Roundup has a good many more
than the required number Of resi-
dents no trouble will be experienced
in this step toward incorporation.

WOOL MARKET IN CHICAGO
Woolgrowers and Chicago Busi-
ness Men Join to Build
Big Warehouse.

Jos. L. Asbridge, of Pine Grove,
sheep commissioner for Fergus
county, recently returned from a
meeting of sheepmen at Lewistown
which was called for the purpose of
discussing the project OF establish
ing a wool warehouse in Chicago.
Mr.. Asbridge presided at the meet
ing which was unanimously in ia
vor of the proposed innovation, and
he was authorized to look after the
securing Of the cooperation of the
woolgrowers Of Fergus county in
this movement which will mean
much to them.
The object in view," says Mr..
Asbridge in talking Of the project,
is to establish western wool mark
ct in Chicago and to eliminate the
middle man. The commission man
is one bad feature the wool grower
has had to contend with for many
years. For example, the producers
this year got on an average of about
fifteen or sixteen cents for their
wool, while the buyers in turn dis
posed of it at from 22c to 26c,
Their is no reason why this should
exist and it is up to the wool
growers to do away with this.
The purpose is to organize a
company with capital of $780,
600, $15O,OOO Of which is to be sub
scribed for by Chicago business
men and the remainder by the
woolgrowers. For three years from
the date of the organization of the
company the producer contracts to
deliver 5000 pounds Of wool for
each $50 share he holds this mean
ing that there will he $4,000, 900
pounds delivered to the Chicago
warehouse every yeal for that per-
iod. The establishing of this ware
house will mean much to the wes-
tern woolgrowers."
Mr.. Asbridge is veay enthusiastic
over the new project and is conf
dent it will be pushed thru to a
successful completion. The ware
house will be 1OOx6OO feet in size,
six stories in height, of reinforced
concrete. AS Chicago is getting
to be a great manufacturing point
