FORMER COLONEL OF ROUGH RID
ERS WILL BE CHIEF OF
ARMY STAFF.
SUCCEEDING GEN. BELL
WOODS RISE FROM ASSISTANT
SURGEON HAS BEEN
SPECTACULAR.

washington.-Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, now in command of the Depart
ment of the East, will be the next
chief of Staff of the army. Secretary
Dickinson made this announcement
Wednesday. General Wood will sue
ceed Gen. j. Franklin Bell. whose term
at the head of the general staff will
expire next spring.
General Woods rise in the army has
been one of the most spectacular in its
history. Entering the medical corps
as an assistant surgeon in 1886, he has
been promoted by leaps and bounds so
that next April when he assumes his
new duties at the War Department
he will be at the head of the army.
He is only 40 years old.
Attention was called to Wood be-
fore he had been in the army six
months. While serving as assistant
surgeon he voluntarily carried dis
patches through a region infested
with hostile Indians, making a journey
of seventy miles in one night and
walking thirty miles the next day. In
the same campaign he took command
of a detachment of infantry without
an officer when an encounter was
hourly expected with Geronimo. For
this action in this campaign he was
awarded a medal of honor in 1888.
During the Spanish-American war,
he was colonel of Rough Riders. For
his services at Las Guanimas and San
Juan hill he was made a brigadier
general Later he was promoted to be
major general and was made governor
general of Cuba.
After the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can forces from Cuba General WOOD
was sent to the Philippines, where he
finally became commander of the Phil
ippine department.

State Supreme Court

Pierre-The calendar for the Ccto-
Der term of the supreme court is out
and it is the shortest calendar in the
history Of the court containing but
twenty-One cases. Of which sixteen are
on the criminal calendar This shOrt
calendar is caused by the ruling of the
court that no cases could be set for
argument at the october term except
criminal, preferred and rehearings
This Is to allow the court from now
until the April term to clear up al
old cases which are now before them
for consideration. and to allow them
to start with a clean slate at the
April term. and to keep the calendar
clear from that time on Such action
will allow decisions within few days
after arguments, and it is hoped, in
the future, prevent another situate n
as at present, with cases from one We r
to several years behind the arguments
in the decisions.

The cat-tail of the American
swamps is almost exactly the same
plant as the Egyptian bulrush. 1t is
no longer used for making paper, as
1t once was, but from its root is pre-
pared an astringent medicine, while
its stems, when prepared dry, are ex-
cellent for the manufacture of mats,

Revenge

CHAPTER XVil-Continued
Then he noticed, with the keen
trained ear of the motorist, that the
engines were not running as they had
done. Their song was not true, and
with new groan he knew that the
petrol also was nearly at an end.
The car began to slacken its speed
and Basil looked wildly round him
gripping the lever Of the steering
wheel tightly with one hand as he
did so. Far away in the distance be
hind he saw the little chrome square
which meant the electric train which
was following them. To the left was
the Rhine. and he saw that a steam
pleasure yacht was waiting there, a
few hundred yards ahead, at a tiny
pier built out from the bridge.
To the right were lying fields Of
rye and barley, which went stretching
away to the foot of the hills
Then. suddenly, the speed slack
ened and slackened and slackened.
The rude music Of the engines be-
came defined into a series Of eXplo-
sions: declined from that, and sounded
like the slow ticking of a clock
The car stopped
The other motor was some six hun
dred yards ahead Of them-a distant
red spot upon the white road.
They are now approaching the en-
virons Of Bonn. AS their own car
stopped Basil saw, with a sudden up
lifting of the heart, that the other
car was also slackening down.

Grant, "but the others are done, too.
1t has just happened splendidly. Now,
let us get out and run up to them.

Stiff and cramped as they were they
descended. feeling shooting pains in
every limb. and began to run towards
the distant car, which was now abso-
lutely stationary.
Grant led the way with his great
stride, which was so celebrated in the
annals of sport Marriott, who him
self was in perfect condition, followed
after few yards distance.
The road rises a little here, and
for a few seconds the other car was
almost hidden from their eyes. Then,
both of them pulled up and stopped
short
They pulled up and looked into each
others faces, and each saw that
every vestige Of colour-even the red
ness which the skin had assumed dur
ing their wild rush from Cologne
had left the face of the other.
This is what they saw.
The car had stopped indeed, but
from the tunnels of the pleasure yacht
which had been waiting at the little
pier thick black smoke was pouring.
and a tall man, carrying little child
in his arms, had walked down the
fraii wooden structure and was mount
Ing a gangway ON to the deck of the
yacht.
"We're done. Grant," Marriott said.

he spoke the siren Of the boat gave
q loud. menacing hoot; and as the
steamer glided a~' from the pier
they stood and 1 it swing out
into the tideway ..L then move up
