"Pish! was welded in Musso's very
presence" answers the girl, proudly;
then cries: Il am Edwin Gerard An
struther's wife, by the church and by
my love-"
"'Tis pity; you compel me to make
you his widow"
"Edwin's widow" At that awful
word, Marina shudders and sinks over

Listen to met" Cipriano's voice is
deep with menace, yet soft with pas
sion. "On the further cliff down the
coast are quarries of dazzling-hued
green Orezza marble that is taken
from this island to deck palaces"
"Orezza marble, what has that to
do with Edwins life?" half SCOTS the
girl.
But 1t may have something to do
with his DEATH" observes Danella.
For the blasting of the rock is used
much dynamite. / have robbed the
quarries and have mined the base of
yonder turret with the explosive. In it
are three men: one, old Tomasso,
whose knife entered my brothers
heart; the other, an American detec-
tive who has placed his Yankee nose
into this vendetta, unfortunately for
himself. Emory is in that turret. You
will give something for these mems
lives?"
For Emory and dear old Tomasso?
Certainly-anything in reason" The
lovely eyes are filled with q strange
alarm.
'Ah, but it must not be in reason
it must be in passion as exalted as
my own-for you. When direct my
nephew, who is bound to me not only
by ties of blood, but of gratitude, and
who is intiamed against you all by his
oath of vendetta for the murdered
Musso, he Will light the fuse leading
to the mine, and puff!-that tower,
with every man who's in it, goes into

Murderer" shudders Marina, who
has listened astounded.
"Ah, you have sympathy for these
poor fellows! That is well; / shall
love you more for your tender heart"
continues Cipriano softly.
But the law!" half screams the
lady.
Palm Corsica-in a vendetta.
Besides, the blown-up tower will be
thought but another outrage of the
rioting 'Lucchese.' oh, this is no worse
than dagger thrusts or blows from
bullets which always come in a blood
feud. And in that mined turret," CT.

there is another man, who following
the cyclamen flowers you dropped in
the road and few more we added to
lead him into that fatal tower"
Edwin" Marina's limbs hardly up
hold her.
The man you foolishly call hus-
band" The finger of the suave wooer
points to the turret's upper floor.
Then the game is on!
Her eyes following his gesture, a
shuddering cry, low, broken, despair
ing yet full of tenderest love, issues
from the girls lips that have now be-
come white as death itself: Edwin,
my husband-my flowers brought you
to this-following for love of me-"

sIn spite Of these drawbacks, how.

,In spite Of these drawbacks, how ever, the work has been so successful that the Chinese Government is now undertaking forestry schemes in a number Of places under advice from German experts. This work centers about Mukden, Mauehuda, where sue eess has already been obtained with acaeias and experiments are now being made with other trees. The first Chinese forest school was established at Mukdeu two years ago. Six hun dred and twenty five acres have al- ready been set apart fur cultivation, and Z4 ITO .-cres are to be purchased for reforestation.
 Three large mines in China, in the provinces Of Chihli and Shansi, which are under the management Of Euro. peans, are making plans for reforesta- ton, and the Shantung Railway is planting acacias along 26D miles of it's track. This, however, is simply a be- ginning of the work, and the Chinese Government now has in contemplation the inauguration of extensive reforesta- ton work in different parts of China.

Germans Planting Forests 10 Chi As.

In considering the progress of the
 almost world wide movement for pro
 tection of forests, an interesting review
 has just been made of the work In
 China--a country which Is so often
 cited as an example of the evil effects
 of deforestation.
 In a portion of the Celestial King dom earnest efforts arc now being
 planting. Consul Wilbur T. Gracey
 of Tsingtau, China, reports that the Germans in that region are making successful attempts at reforestation.
 The success of the work was practical
 ly assured at the start, for to Germany | Is given the credit for having the high
 est developed system of forestry, and Il was natural to expect that the long ! experience in forest work in the Fa- therland would lessen preliminary ex-
 pcrimentation and hasten progress in China.
 When Tsingtau WAS occupied by the Germans about eleven years ago the hills were found bare and barren, with only \ sporadic growth Of scrub pine and weeds. Plans for reforestation were at once made, and about 2,ses acres have already been planted, About half of this Is planted in acacias, fss balance In pine, lateh, walnut, oak of. .t has this planting been that the point has already been reached where the sale of timber can be made. Small branches are sold for fire wood and | some of the timber is used for mining purposes. The sale anu eNportation of
 acacia Is expected to become con. siderable source of revenue during the
 next few years.
 1 IL is particularly remarkable that | this work should have been se success. l ful in view ot the difficulties to which
 the plantation was subjected. The
 rainfall Is light and lack of moisture
 considerably retarded the development | of the trees. Ky far the worst enemies, however, were insects. Various spe-
 cies of caterpiilars and other insects have been so destructive that thou. sands of Chinese boys and women ars
 now engaged annually to destroy them Various measures of prevention have
 been tried, such as placing girules oI glue on the trees, but these have mol
 been effective and II was found neccs ! ssFs ,o .eSaFs tc sySgeals,ic destfge tion of the insects by hand
 During lsls over seven million cater 1 pillars were gathered by hand, smash. 1 ed, covered with lime, and afterward, | used as fertilizer. This method has
 been successful in protecting the great.

 and the sammits of the mountains arc now being planted with these trees in al eiioft te cheek future destruction
 h addition to these enemies, Chinese
 thieves are another source of difficulty { aud on one occasion a band of thirty six thieves was captured in the act of stealing wood.

High Cost of Living Greatest National
 Danger.

"History shows that the high cost of living |. the beginning ef every nation al decline.H This is James J. Hilfis warning to the country delivered at the White House after a talk with the President. MT. Hill did not 20 into details, but indicated that his meaning was obvious, and advised economy.
 "The cutting down Of expenditures, both governmental and individual. will be necessary before the country can regain its equilibrium continued Mir. Hill, ''and this period of extraya- gance must be ended
 Mr. Hill is serious in his view of the danger threatening the country in the constant increase in the cost of living He believes that this condition bears heavily on the masses, while the rich are in no way affected by 1t. He thinks the great minds Of the nation should be turned to this question as the most important one confronting the country.
 "The great statesmen Of our country he said, "spend years trying to devise laws for reform, yet apparently neglect the question Of how the vast majority of the people are living
 As Mf. Hill sees IL, there must be a speedy consideration of questions deal. ing with the cost of food and dress. He does not believe that great prosperity is cure for the evil, but admitted that II was a help to the masses. He is in- cined to be pessimistie regarding the future unless some steps are taken to reduce the cost of living. He is still a great believer in the conservation of | national resources, but does not be- | lieve that water power trust is in ex- | istence, at least, he has never seen any evidence of 1t.
