CHAPTER XXxIv.
THE TITLE CLEAR.

@lWO men and woman stood in the evening glow looking out over the tranquil sea that crept @ up and licked the foot of the cliff. It was September. Five months had passed since the Kings Own steamed away from the harbor of Ara tat. The new dispensation was in full effect. During the long, sickening weeks that preceded the coming of the syndicate Hollingsworth Chase toiled faithfully, resolutely, for the restora- tion of order and system among the demoralized people of Japat-
 With the transfer of the company's business his work was finished. Two young men from Sir Johns were now settled in Arafat as legal advisers to the islanders, Chase having declined to serve longer in that capacity.
 He was now waiting for the steamer which was to take him to Cape Town on his way to England-and home.
 The chateau was closed and in the hands of a small army of caretakers. The three widows of Jacob von Blitz were now married to separate and dis tinct husbands, all of whom retained their places as heads of departments at the chateau, proving that courtship had not been confined to the white people during the closing days of the siege.
 The head of the bank was Oscar Arnheimer, Mir. Bowles having been deposed because his methods were even more obsolete than his coat of armor.
 Selim disposed of his lawful interest in the corporation to Ben Ali, the new cadi, and was waiting to accompany his master to America. It may be well to add that the deal did not include the transfer of Neenah. She was not for sale, said Selim to Ben Ali.
 It was of MT. Bowles that the three persons were talking as they stood in the evening glow.
 "'Yes, Selim," said the tall man in hannels, "he's a sort of old dog Tray, ever faithful, put not the right kind You don't happen to know anything of old dog Tray, do you7 No2 thought not. Nor you, Neenah? Well, he was"-
 "Was he the one who was poisoned at the chateau, excellency?" asked Neenah timidly.
  ''If I remember my history, he died in the seventeenth century or whereabouts It's really of no consequence, however Any good, fai1fful dog will serve my purpose. What I want to impress upon you is this-it is most difficult fol faithful old dog to survive change of masters. It isn't human nature-ol dog nature, either. Pm glad that you are convinced, Neenah. But please don't tell Sahib -Bowles that he is 6 dog" i "Oh, no, excellencyr' she cried ear nestly.
 ''She is very close mouthed, sahib, added Selim, with conviction
 "We'll take Bowles to England witt us next week." went on Chase dream lily. "We'll leave Japat to take care 1 of itself"

Special to Times Republican.
Creston, May 1.-The Burlington
railroad company is to change its sys-
tenn Of dealing with employees. An
nouncement will be made in a few
days that no more suspensions from
service will be made on the Burlington
road because of attractions of the
rules or for other causes. The merit
system will be employed and a record
kept of the work Of each man and
those who lose their positions will do
so because they have a bad record.
Daniel Willard, second vice president,
in a bulletin says that neither the
service nor discipline has been i'm
proved by suspensions, while at the
same time employees and those depend
ent upon him have been made to suf-
fer while he is out Of work, and for
that reason the system will be changed.
A complete and accurate service his
tory Of all employees affected by this
order will be kept in the office of each
division superintedent, and also in
the office of the superintendent of the
employment department.
No entry will be made a part of
the record Of any man until the case
has been fully investigated, and the
employee affected will, if desired, be
given personal hearing in that connec-
ton. Whenever a record entry Is
made. the man affected will be given
in writing an exact copy Of such entry.
Any employe found guilty of disloy-
atty to the company, of insubordina-
ton, or drunkenness, will be dismissed
from the service and will not be re-
employed. An employee whose service
record clearly indicates that he is not
a safe or fit man to retain in the
service will be dismissed.
Promotion will in future, as in the
past, depend upon the service record
of the man involved, and upon his
fitness for increased responsibilities.
When these are equal as between two
men, the one older in the service will
be given the preference.
Officers directly in charge of men
affected by this order are especially
requested to report for entry all COM
mendable actions on the part Of such
employees, as we'll as those actions
which may justify criticism OF repri-
mand.
The purpose Of this order is to as
sure constant and permanent employ
ment to those employees whose service
records indicate their fitness for the
positions held, or for increased respons
sibilities,

Charles City.
A phenomenon of nature exists on
the Lane farm, eight miles southwest
of Charles City. 1t is a large spring
flowing from the side of hill. BY the
use of a hydraulic ram the water is
forced thirty feet up the hill and is
used as a sort of water works for the
farm home, being sufficient to care FOR
the large amount of stock on the farm
and also for use in the house. and the
pressure is sufficient that 1t is forced
thru pipes into the house the same as
city water is used. The ram and the
pipes are placed under ground for pro-
lection in winter

Beware of Deadly
Uric Acid Poison.
When There Is Uric Acid in Your System That Means
Very Dangerous Condition.

A great many people do not know
what uric acid is. 1t is one of the dead
liest poisons that can exist in the human
system. And it cannot exist long in the
human system, without very serious
consequences resulting. These conse-
quences often terminate in death - If
neglected. The kidneys and bladder
are depended upon to expel uric acid
from the human system. That Is their
business.
When the kidneys and bladder are
sound and healthy, and in good work
ing order, they (with the assistance OF
the livery will effectually operate to
keep the system free from this uric
acid poison. But II the kidneys, blad-
der and liver are sick, over-worked,
exhausted, and diseased, they cannot ex-
pei the uric acid. Then the system be-
comes charged and overloaded with
this deadly poison - and the immediate
results are: foul and impure blood, ex-
IRENE nervousness, and sometimes total
mental breakdown, lame and aching
back and groins, rheumatism, govt,
lumbago, deposits of stone and gravel
in the bladder, and, later - If neglec-
ted = painful and incurable or fatal
diseases.

Y. s. Fleet Will Have to BE Rsmodslsd
Says New York World,

New York. April 30.-The World
prints the following story under a
Washington date:
The navy department has an
nounced that the sixteen battleships
which made the trip around the world
are to be remodeled. thus practically
confirming the reports current since
the return of the fleet that the voyage
practically wrecked tho navy.
Since the return OF the fleet it has
been reported at various times that
masts had been sprung, plates
loosened, and that the intricate electri-
cal machinery. including the fire con-
troll. was hopelessly out of order and
other things had happened. Neverthe-
less. the navy department insists the
ships stood the voyage better than ex-
pected. which leaves to the Imagina-
ton what the original expectation or
fear had been.
1T Is proposed to make of the six
teen battleships a type something like
the old monitor, save that the new
type VIII have more free board. All
the cumbersome superstructure which
at present adorns the battleships and
which affords n splendid mark TO the
enemy's guns will be taken off. All
that will appear above the decks will
be turret fore and aft and the fun
nels for boilers and the wire waste
basket type of mask. which will be
used for the lookouts.

Davenport lumberman will recove~

Just what amount Cavanaugh lost

$4,000. In Little Rock, where the
gang was cornered and Cavanaugh
had their effects attached, he claimed
it was s2S,S00. Then when the two
express boxes were located in Daven-
port and were supposed to contain
$4,000, he placed his loss at 1000

this amount When the boxes were
found to contain nothing of value. the
