during the day.
GRUMkOW at once preached the subject nearest
- his heart, and begged the King to give his
sent to the Bayreuth marriage.
Il sent Braun Grote, and Meyer to Bayreuth
early yesterday morning to arrange the treaty with
the Margrave, said the King. 1t isn't necessary
to make the fact public till know the result of the
embassy"
Grumkow breathed sigh of relief and wished in
his heart that the Margrave of Schwedt sober
He hurried back to The Big Sausage and took his
place beside Adoph, determined to impart the glad
intelligence just the Margrave able to
receive it.
The happymoment did not come until near the hour
of eight and Grumkow could almost feel the heads
mans against his neck When the Margrave's
drowsy eyes began open he felt like dancing for Joy
" Is it too late! Is it too late. he asked. Is the
person holding the letter going to the King? 1t is
eight o'clock. Is it too late: My dear, sweet
Margrave, is it too late?
Considerable time was required bv the Margrave
in opening his eyes and his mind. His mouth was
opened many times in cavernous yawns; but it
seemed to the Baron that intelligence would never
return to his desplsed enemy. At length he became
receptive, and answered the Baron's oft repeated
question by asking another
Has the King consented?
Yes, eagerly returned Grumkow. An embassy
started for Bayreuth yesterday morning to consum-
mate the treaty; but did learn of it until this
evening Is it too late?"
On hearing the Baron's words light came to the
Margrave's mind in great flood and he wide
awake He rose slowly to his feet pressed his hand
on his forehead and muttered Zach hebey Cot!
Grumkow saying, If what you have told is true,

friend and if can"

and Grumkow knew During the afternoon of the
second day, Grumkow. who had been diligently seek
ing Adolph found him at Eur Grossen Wurst and
begged for an extension OF time; The Margrave who
was comfortably drunk, replied sternly:
Not another hour! This day at six o'clock the
curtain falls the career of Baron Grumkow unless
by that time the Kings consent to the marriage has
been g1ven have sald-much.
Grumkow begged and argued for nearly an hour
during which time the Margrave was growing drunken
every moment. The persistent Baron did not cease
his opportunities; but pleaded until he that the
clock had struck three for the worthy poentate of
Schwedt, and that Adoph asleep He tried to
arouse the Margrave, but failed. No but the
Baron and Adolph was in the room First making
sure that the Margrave could not be aroused Grum-
kow locked the door and stood for moment watch
ing the fallen hero Murder was the thing he longed
to do; but. recalling Adolphs warning he felt sure
that the letter and the evidence against him would
at be placed before the King if harm befell
the man who slept IN the great oak chair in front
Of him.
While watching the Margrave he conceived the
happy thought that the troublesome letter might be
on his enemys person and at proceeded to
investigate In of the pockets he found three
penknlves IN another pocket several affec-
tIonate letters from the Margravine some of which
seemed to the Barons excited imagination to con-
rm all that Adoph had said about the letter and the
other evidence to be placed before the King He also
found Wllheminas note to Fritz Henry. 1t was in a
little pocket over Adophs heart. In another pocket
ne found an apple and few dried figs. And last but
not least IN deep pocket of the coattail the prime
munster found two huge, reasonable looking links

my sweet Margrave go!' said GrumkoW almost be
side himself with fear. Il have the Kings word.
The embassy has gone Bayreuth, and the mar
rage shall be celebrated ! swear it before God,
swear it shall be celebrated
In that case, l it IS not too late, sighed
Adolph IN go at once; but if you try to follow
me go not step.
In Gods name, go!' cried Grumkow And l
will remain here.
In STOPPING to the floor take up his hat the Mar
grave noticed large links of sausage lying beside
his chair He stared vacantly at the sausage for
moment felt his coat pockets and turned to Grun-
kow, saying drowsily regretfuly contemptuously:
Did you find anything you wanted IN my peck
Grumkow protested; but Adolph pointing to the
sausage, continued There IS the evidence against
you; you stole my sausage. hope you don't think
| am SO great fool as to get myself drunk with
money in my pocket, when l am expecting Baron
Grumkow to visit me. You found only few pennies.
Did you take them? Perhaps you expected to ind
the letter. but can hardly believe you would pay
me the poor compliment of supposlng that would
keep the letter about where you could steal It.
Grumkow would have enjoyed numbering the Mar
grave; but he dared not he smiled kept his anger
well hidden in his heart, and said, pray you Mar
grave go at once! That is good fellow. Lose not
moment S t1me!',
A DOLPH hurried to his room in the palace, rear
ranged his toilet, and sought the Queen, who
confirmed Grumkow S words. Then he returned to
his room and went to bed.
While in the Queens parlor, Adolph had seen
Princess Wilhemina, and she had graciously given
him her hand to kiss Her smile was to Adoph what
the light of Heaven is to wandering SOUL but leav-
ing it was like going into outer darkness.
Amid all the Margraves suffering, there was one

from the ever luminous thought that she whom he
loved would be happy, and that her happiness would
all come through him. But as usual with Adolph

Collection for orphanaues.

On Sunday, Oct. 10, throughout the
length and breadth of the diocese of
Denver there will be a collection for the
support of the orphanages under the
control of the Catholic church. Bishop
n. c. Matz has issued a circular letter
70 his clergy making touching appeal
for these little charges of the church.
There are four Catholic orphanages in
Colorado-St. Clara's, St Nincent's and
Regina Coeli in Denver, and the Sacred
Heart orphanage in Pueblo. These four
institutions care for 660 children, at an
estimate of p cents per child per day.
This aggregates close to 100000 for the
years maintenance, regardless of new
buildings and repairs. OF this 100000 the
diocese Of Denver last orphans day
gave only $S29. OF course many of the
people belong to societies engaged in
looking after the orphanages, and many
Others give their mite regularly to
make the annual picnic or the annual
charity ball a success. st. Clara's in
North Denver has the greatest burden,
caring for 229 children: St Vincent's s
gives a home to 1S9. and the Regina
COeli to sixty little Italians In Pueblo
the Sacred Heart orphanage is crowd
ed with 182 children. A more generous
response has to be made this year if the
good work is to go on without Interrupt

The west is now inclosed. The free
land has been taken up There is now
no homestead to be had for the asking.

nificance. The national domain is a
thing of the past. ''The public lands

which for three centuries has been open
to all, has finally been closed by title
deeds or fraudulently appropriated by
individuals and corporations in collu-
sion with the government.
The inclosure of the free public do
main terminates the greatest epoch in
American history. In big perspective
it may be likened to the fall of Rome.
the opening up of new route to India
by Vasca da Cana, or the discovery
of America by Columbus. 1t marks the
end of the westward drift of civiliza-
ton, a drift which, with occasional in
terruptions, has been going on since the
beginning of history Ever since the
seventeenth century the old world has
had vent in America. During these
centuries Europe has been relieved of
its discomfort by the broad, hosnita bIe
prairies of the west. America has hean
a hospital for all of the world. The on
portunity which it offered has relieved
the explosive elements of other lands
and brought them back into harmony
with life.

Garner who formerly followed the west
ward trail, is now entering the trade
union. Here he will find expression for
the energy which formerly found an
outlet In the west. 1t is this that ex-
plains the present industrial unrest. II
is this that accounts for the political
ferment. No longer can the discontent-
ed hope to improve his fortunes in an
other longitude. He must remain at

1t is this, too, that explains the COM

closed forever. 1t is this that exn1ains
the change which has come over tbe
spirit of America during the last fen
years. And as time goes on This sririt

is the mirror of all history. An under

mines of Tonopah.
Tonopah has started a night school
and began sessions last Monday with
an enrolment of twenty pupils. The

The mining congress opened last Mon
day with 300 delegates in attendance.
An important item of the first DAYS
transactions was the sending of a tele-
gram to President w. H. Taft and Sec
retary of the Interior Ballinger, urging
the forming of a federal bureau of mines
under the control of the government. In
the evening the mineral palace was
opened, and under the glow of the hun
dreds of electric lights the Wealth of

exhibit from Nye county was voted the
grandest of all. The congress will close
socially with grand Malapai mixup"

Rev. Father carrigan's New Home

Father ]. P. Carrigan moved on Tues
DAY of this week into his new home ad-
joining the mission church of st. Pat
rick's parish, opened last May. The
delay in completing the rectory was
caused by industrial troubles which
have upset Denver. The new house is
in the mission style of architecture. and
is connected with the church by long
corridor
The parishioners of Father Carrigan
did not wish that the old furniture of
the parochial residence be taken to the
new home, and so a purse of $500 was
made up among them for the purchase
of new household goods. The money
was given Father Carrigan, but for fear
he would turn it into some of his nu-
merous charities, committee was
named to go with him and select furni-
ture. New carpets were bought for the
library and parlOr, and new curtains for
both these rooms. Father Carrigan's
own personal suite was completely fur
nished out of the money.
1t was a touching tribute to his serv-
ices to the congregation, and Father
Carrigan accepted it with tears in his
eyes.

YOUNG Wo,ne . s aodaIity.

In order that tn 7Cu Women's
Sodality and the Children Of Mary may
see the library which The Jointly own
enlarged to splendid Iropo, tons, a re-
quest was made from the sanctuary of
Logan avenue chapel las, Sunday for
gifts of fiction from the members of
the congregation. Father II. L. McMen-
amin announced that he was gTatified
to say that much of the current litera-
ture is decidedly good reading, and that
after the parishioners read the new
books they may send them to the libra
~. There they viii of course be passed
on before being placed on the shelves.
Many have had the idea that it is
only books of a religious character
which are wanted in the library. For
this reason little fiction has been do
mated. The pastor called attention to
the fact that few people desire to keep
new fiction after they have finished
reading it, All of this will be gratefully
received at the library room on the
north side Of the chapel The library is
well patroniZed and when it is enlarged
ct will have even more subscribers.
