An interesting drill was held by the
Signal Corps Company Friday night The
company marched from the armory to
the rear of the Center market and was
instructed by squads in the use Of flags
for signal work. Sergt. STATE, as senior
non-commissioned officer, gave the entire.
company preliminary instruction in the
use Of the flags. taking up the first five
letters of the Morse code as a beginning
After the company had mastered these
letters Lieut.. L. II. Johnson, temporarily
commanding the company. took charge
and divided the company up into squads
Of four. Each squad had one non-com-
missioned officer or private to do the
''wigwagging,' while the other three read
the signals. The company was then di-
vided into two squads, each squad march
ed to some distance under an electric light
and groups Of three letters transmitted
by one squad and repeated back by the
other.
Owing to the fact that the War Depart
ment has decided to abandon the Meyer
code the District National Guard Signal
Corps Company will devote Its entire at
tention during the winter to the Morse
code, which is distinctively American
The Meyer code has been found to be too
cumbersome, taking up too much time
Each letter i'll the Meyer code is made
up of a group of figures and takes con-
sideraby more time IN transmitting as
compared to the Morse code. AS the con-
tinental code only differs in a few letters
from the Morse, it will probably be taken
up after the Morse has been satisfactorily
learned.

PRINCESS
SliZ3zz2

Here, 20 years ago, 1 received
30 strokes of the knout."
Litzanoff shuddered. "You?"
he said.
Yes; by order of the prince"
Then l understand why you
are a socialist.
1t is not humiliation that made
me a socialist; rather has it been
the love of justice and of truth 81
Thts wise, grave man was the
celebrated physician, Michael Fed
croft.
Prince Kryloff's residence stood
upon a hill, a short distance from
the Dneiper. 1t was an imposing
structure, built after the Italian
manner, in the midst of a large
park.
Just behind this superb build
ing, in a secluded part of the
grounds, stood a little structure,
reminding one of Swiss chalet.
Along two sides of the house ran
wide piazza supported on slen-
der pillars, all enwrapped and en-
ttwined with English ivy, American
trumpet-creeper, and strange
climbing plants from China and
Greece. A superb double flight OF
steps led down from the front
door into an English garden
which was full of fountains, water
falls, flower beds and rock work
This was Wanda's summer
home. She called it her cottage
and thiether she would constantly
retire, both for study and medita-
ton, and also to escape, accom-
panied by Katia, to take a little
run into the factories.
She had estab lished a school for
the children of the workmen
quite near the cottage, and she SUI
perintended their instruction her.
self.
The princess and Katia fire.
quently passed the night away
from home, sometimes in one vii
lage, sometimes in another; now
with her mother-who was living
for the time at Ekaterinoslaw,
now in one of the factories, giving
instruction in the doctrines of So
cialism.
Once when the prince was
away, Princess Alexandra had ven
tured to visit Wanda in her cot
tage.
Visitors were flocking to see the
prince, and among the guests Wis.,
iting at Castle Kryloff were Stack
elberg and Raymond Chabert.
Thus far Stackelberg had dis
covered nothing of the socialists,
for Wanda had secretly and
adroitly frustrated all his plans
and diverted his suspicious. More
over, he had fallen in love with
the princess, who alternately en-
couraged or discouraged him, &C
cording to circumstances. He
loved her as we'll as his vile heart
could love.
Raymond Chabert walked on
air. The bond between him and
Wanda touched him to the heart.
He worshiped rather than loved
her. Besides, she loved Litzanoff,
and Litzanoff loved her.
AS for Prince Kryloff, his time
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-03-11

was entirely taken up attending -
his factories. He had sugar FAC
tories, paper factories. and saw
mills for working up the products
of his immense forests. He en-
ployed vast number of workmen.
Raymond Chabert had been a
great help to him. The new rail-
road would double his income.
In spite of his royal generosity,
his magnificence, his exquisite
manners, the prince was very OPP
|pressive toward his workmen. At
tached to every factory was store
Tor bazaar. Instead of money, the
men received checks for which
they could obtain anything con-
tanned in the bazaar. This sort OF
exchange was considerable
source of revenue to the prince.

COUNCIL CUTS DOWN
ON SARCENTICH'S
EXPENSES

AS a result of the tilt between
the finance committee of the coun-
Gil and Health Commissioner Sar-
gentich 1t is not unlikely that a
new ordinance may be passed by
the council laying down specifical-
ly what the health officer shall do.
DR.. Armstrong says the health
commissioner should do some
work besides drawing his sal
ary." He does not think Sargen-
itch earns his 500 a month.
Sargentich has a different opin-
ion. He said yesterday that he is
doing much work he is not paid
for, In fact he figures he has EARL
ed $4,000 more than he has re-
ceived since he has been in office.
There was a lively tilt in the
council last night over paying a
bill for $54 for vaccination. Sar-
gentich had called in another
doctor to vaccinate school chill
dren when the school board re-
fused to admit them to school.
The finance committee rejected
the bill and the council did like
wise.
Wilkeson and Armstrong said
it was time to call a halt to the
health officer. They said he was
running wild in expenditures. DR..
Armstrong declared it was ex-
pected that the health commits
sioner should do such work as
there was to be done and not call
in outsiders.
The city attorney was appealed
to as to whether or not the health
officer had authority to hire as
sistants. 1t was found that the
gave him great latitude
In this respect when an epidemic
was threatened. Judge Stiles
thought it was stretch
ing it to vaccinate people just be-
cause the school board wanted to
enforce a rule. The council, how
ever, went on record to call a haht
to the big bills in the health de
partment. EsSt
AS the ordinance now seems foi

CHAPTER XVI.
Tho GAnonatsa-

Two days after her marriage,
Wanda left Petersburg with her
father, for the Ukraine.
Before she went away she gave
Padlewsky letter for Litzanoff.
In 1t she told him they must not
meet again:
my nature is such that 1 can
only love one thing at a time,
and l have consecrated myself to
the love 70 humanity; must
serve it alone" the letter said.
1--WE must not see each other
at least until the final triumph OF
the Cause.
Besides, 1t is necessary for
your safety that you quit Russia
Take Nadege with you and go to
Italy or Switzerland. In either of
those countries you will find
friends"
When Padlewsky handed this
letter to the convalescent, he was
taken with violent attack OF
fever and delirium which lasted
for three days.
AS soon as he came to himself
he wrote to Nadege:
my Dear, Sweet Nadege: am
going to give you a great deal of
plan; but 1t is necessary. You
love me, and I am unworthy of
your love; and our characters are
80 unlike that we can never be
happy together.
1.-THE ties of marriage are more
hateful to me than were the
chains of my prison. I am
obliged to leave Russia. Where to
go l do not know. do not wish
you to sacrifice your youth and
beauty more.
II have determined to devote
myself to the cause. l wish to
dedicate all my fortune to it. /
have written to our steward to
prepare our respective accounts,
and he will hand you over your
own fortune.
III you will take my advice, you
Will sue for divorce and marry
someone else. You could not pos
sibly find a worse match than my
self"
That very night, in disguise,
Stepans and Koroleff set out for
Moscow.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The Declaration OF Love.
Wanda fully comprehended that
the time had arrived for Stacked
berg to propose. She had kept
out of his way all that morning;
but in the evening after dinner,
Notwithstanding the number of
guests that were present, he man
aged to find her alone.

THAT is not a very difficult
thing to do"
What is it?"
THAT you want to make me a
formal offer of your hand"
viii you allow me to do SO,
.Wanda?"
He looked at her fixedly; she
cast down her eyes. He thought
that she loved him, and was
ashamed to let him detect that
love In her face. He drew near
er and fastened upon her his
greedy gaze. Wanda was trem-
bling all over.
"Pity mel" he whispered.

"Why?"

81 would rather not tell YOU"
"Why not?"
"The idea of marriage terrifies

"Dear Wanda, love is the only
thing that makes life worth liv-
ing. I love you passionately."
"Passionately?" said she, look
