In sharp contrast with the manifestations of en-

we commented yesterday, is the

ened his mules. According the story as first tee-
graphed the Negro had other provocation than this
but it now appears probable that it the automo-
bilist who began firing after alteration But even
if the Negroes act had been first reported what can
be thought of the civilization of community in whicn
such crime is punished not only by summary execu-
ton by mob but by burning the accused at the stake?
The plea that used to be made by apoogists for such
savagery that it is evoked only by one kind of outrage
has been thin that it now resorted to only
by quite unscrupulous quite ignorant persons But
what terrible hndrance these barbartes must be to
the good work of Booker Washington and of the white
who are holding up his hands! Hardly has his
wise counsel to Negroes to uphold the law in all ways

LAWYERS attorneys were not able to figure

His attorneys knew he as
guilty as dog and if they had have done their duties
as citizens and rsclass lawyers they would have had
the sefconfessed criminal to plead guilty and be taken

ago. but being petty foggers they stood ready to do
ANYTHING to defeat the ends of justice just SO they got
big bunch of money for so doing. Such attorneys at
law in our opinion dangerous criminals than
the real embezzer and prisoner at the bar and such
awers are largely responsible for the state OF mobo-
cracy so common to the United States.

LEAD IN WATER TURBINE WORK.
Swiss the First to Develop Long Dis
tance Electrical Power.

Switzerland produces no coal and no
iron. In the manufacture of ma
chinery the raw material is nearly all
brought from Germany, which also
supplies the greater part of the coal.
The tools used in the machine shops
however, are for the most part, made
in America
The country has an enormous
amount of water power, however, and
in its development the Swiss have
gained prominence in the water tur-
bine work throughout the world, one
firm being called upon to design the
original water turbine which was in
stalled at Niagara falls. Hand-in-
hand with this turbine development,
practically the superlative in electrical
engineering has been attained, and to-
day Swiss machinery is being sent to
all parts of the world
The Swiss are able to maintain their
position only through their superior
technical knowledge, for which they
are indebted to their engineering in
stitutions. In their vast experience
they lay claim to being the first to de-
velop the transmission of electrical
power over long distances, and it is
believed that before long all the Swiss
state railways will be working under
electrical power.

AS there is only one genuine Syrup of

David paused and glanced medita-

strained voice.

not come back"
But that splash in the lake?"
Il don't know what it was, sir"

frightened the duck and the snipe

we heard the tinkle of plates and bot
ties and the low hum of Barris' musi-
cal voice.
Half an hour later they came out
again, saluted Pierpont and me, and
galloped away in the direction of
the Canadian frontier. Ten minutes
passed, and, as Barris did not appear,
we rose and went into the house, to
find him. He was sitting silently be-
fore the table, watching the small
golden globe, now glowing with scar
let and orange fire, brilliant as a live
coal. Hewlett, mouth ajar and eyes
starting from the sockets, stood petri-
fed behind him.
'Are you coming?" asked Perpont, a
little startled. Barris did not answer.
The globe slowly turned to pale gold
again-but the face that Barris raised
to ours was white as a sheet Then
he stood up and smiled, with an effort
which was painful to us all

The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, infam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, flatulency,
Indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailmentsI don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound trial.
If you would like special advice
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass, for it. She has guided
thousands to health, free OF

CHAPTER vi.

At two o'clock that afternoon, at
Barris' suggestion, we gave up the
search for the fountain in the glade
and cut across the forest to the spin
ney where David and Hewlett we're
waiting with our guns and the three
dogs.
Pierpont guyed me numerically
about the "dream-lady," as he called
her, and, but for the significant coin
cidence of Ysonde's and Barris' uues-
tions concerning the white scar on
my forehead, l should long ago have
been perfectly persuaded that 1 had

only a dream, it irritated me to hear
Pierpont's mocking voice. Perhaps
Barris understood-I don't know, but
he bade Pierpont drink his wine with
out further noise, and that young
man obeyed with a childish confidence
which almost made Barris smile.
