eve can appeal to Russia in this
hour of stress. but we will have to
make an unpleasant sacrifice. Russia
Is eager to take over our new issue Of
railway bonds. Hitherto we have voted
against disposing of the bonds in that
country, the reason being obvious. st.
petersburg wants new connecting
line with her possessions in Afghanis-
tan. Our line will provide q most di-
rect route-a cutoff, believe they call
It. Last year the Grand Duke Paulus
volunteered to provide the money for
the construction Of the line from Edel-
weiss north to Balak on condition that
Russia be given the right to use the
line in connection with her own roads
to the orient. You may see the adj
vantage in this to Russia. Mr.. King,
II send word to the Grand Duke
Paulus, agreeing to his terms, which
still remain open to us, signing away
g. most valuable right In what we had
hoped would be our own individual
property, we have every reason to be-
Have that he will send armed forces
to our relief on the pretext that
Russia is defending properties Of her
own. That is one way I'm which we
may GUST Count Marlanx. The other
lies In the ability of John Tullis to
give battle to him with our own people
carrying the guns. Lieutenant Had

to overhear. II quote him correctly,

Truxton had turned a brick red.
Shame and modification surged within
him. He was cruelty conscious Of an
undercurrent Of irony In the premier's
courteous request. For an instant he
was sorely crushed. a low laugh from
the opposite side OF the room sent q
shaft to his soul He looked up. Vos

resentful frame OF mind for
nearly forty eight hours. In
the first place, he had not had
so much as single glimpse Of the
girl he now worshiped with all his
heart. In the second place, he had
learned. with unpleasant promptness,
that Count Vos Engo was the officer
in command of the house guard, a
position as gravely responsible as it
was honorable.
He had, of course, proffered his serv-
ices to Colonel Quinnox. The colonel,
who admired the Americans, gravely
informed him that there was no regu-
lar duty to which he could be assigned,
but that he would expect him to hold
himself ready for any emergency. In
case of an assault he was to report to
Count Vos Engo.
But he was not satisfied. Lorraine
had not come forward with word
of greeting or relief-in fact, she had
not appeared outside the castle doors.
Toward dusk on Monday, long after
the arrival of the refugees, he sat In
gloomy contemplation OF his own IN
happiness, darkly glowering upon the
unfriendly portals from distant stone
bench.
A brisk guardsman separated himself
from the knot of men at the castle
doors and crossed the plaza toward
him.
Judge the dismay and anger when
the soldier, bit shamefaced himself,
briefly announced that Count Vos
Engo had issued an order against
lettering In close proximity to the
castle
Truxton's cheek burned He saw in
for him and for no one else, he being
the only outsider likely to come under
the head Of 'loiterer."
TruXton turned to him with q frank
smile. please tell Count Vos Engo
that l am the last person in the world
to disregard discipline at a time like
this
His glance swept the balcony, sud-
denly becoming fixed on q couple near
the third column. Count Vos Engo
and Lorraine Tullis were standing there
together. Enthusiastically watching his
humiliating departure.
The next morning he encountered
Vos Engo near the grotto.
Catching sight of Vos Engo, he has
up to him.
Good morning" said Truxton. Vos
Engo did not smile as he eyed the
tall American. Il haven't had a
chance to thank you for coming back
for me last Saturday. Allow me to
say that it was a very brave thing to
do"
II do not like your words, Mr.. King,
nor the way in which you glare at
me-"
I'm making it easier to tell you
the agreeable news, Count Vos Engo;
that's all. Take your hand off your
sword, please-some other time per-
haps, but not in these days, when we
need men, not cripples. I'll tell you
what have discovered, and then We'll
drop the matter until some other time.
FRANKLY, count, have made the graf
nying discovery that you are a mis-
cradle cur"
Count Vos Engo went very white.
As you say, there Is another and
better time. We need dogs as well an
men In these days"
Truxton strolled Off to the stables,
picking mp Mr.. Hobbs Oh the way.
Hobbs" he said, we've got to find
john Tullis; that's all there Is to It."
- dare say. sir" said Mr.. Hobbs,
with sprightly decisiveness. "He's very
much needed

SMALL COLLEdE BEST
Rev. n. G. Leonard Gives interesting
Talk Before M. A. r. s.
Club.

In a talk at his home to the members
of the NJ. A. r. S. club on the Small
College, Rev. H. G.. Leonard made, a
strong plea for the smaller institutions
of this country. BY statistics, he show
ed the most great men have been
graduated at the small school than at
the large universities. Prominent men
of fame now who were graduated from
Yale, Harvard and Princeton gradual
ed from those schools thirty years ago
when those institutions were small col
leges.
Rev. Leonard showed that the larger
universities had bigger men as profess
ors thirty years ago. One who attends
them at present rarely comes in con-
tact with the heads of the departments.
students of considerable ability are lost
In the great numbers of the larger in
situations.
Ii is Rev. Leonard's opinion that the
small college is conducive of more of
the, interests of the students. In a
school of less than 500, he or she is
able to take active part in nearly all
the activities of school life. In this
way a student is rounded out and bet
ter able TO cope with the difficulties Of
life Rev. Leonard would have the
Young people of Fargo attend the coll
leges to this city and then take up
their graduate work In the larger uni
yersities. The talk was fully appre-
ciated by those present, After the talk

The Massey woman was charged
with running a disorderly house and
after a weeks adjournment. she this
morning entered a plea OF guilty.
The Judge took occasion to give the
head of the institution an unmerciful
scoring for running the kind OF a place

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA
Miss Mildred Wheeler Gives Interest
ing and Instructinu Grafton
at High School.

Miss Mildred Wheeler this morning
spoke on The Causes of the Present
Conditions In Russia in an Grafton at
the high school The condition In
which people live their homes and
surroundings were wildly pictured.
Education was next spoken of, which
Miss Wheeler says is in a deplorable
condition, there being only eight uni
versities in all Russia.
Miss Wheeler gives as a cause for
these wretched conditions the lack of
a seaport and market for their pro-
ducts she then went on to show the
various attempts made by Russia to
secure seaport and traced the strug
gle up to the Russian Japanese war.
In conclusion Miss Wheeler said tThe
blame must be placed upon the great
powers of Europe In keeping Russia
from securing seaport Her re-
sources are lying idle her people are
iiieducated. all for the lack of sea-
port" f 49, s

PROGRAMME At
GRAND ENJOYED
LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS CON-
CERT GIVEN LAST EVENING BY
FACULTY OF THE. VALLEY CITY
NORMAL SCHOOL - COMPOST
TONS BY MASTERS.

concert programme was presented
by members of the faculty of the mu-
sic department at the normal school.
Valley City, last night, at the Grand
theatre, under the auspices of the Free
Lecture association. Those who pre-
scented the programme were Miss Fam
nice. Amidon, soprano; Miss jeanette
Dedrick, ,contralto, and Miss Mabel
Underwood pianist. The audience was
a large one, all of the seats on the
lower. floor and most of the balcony
being occupied. The programme, made
up of eight groups of compositions by
the masters, was given aceeptably.
Miss Amidon opened the concert with
group of three numbers by Neid-
linger. She has not strong voice.
but there was a. sweetness which. was
very pleasing. Miss Underwood dis
played marked ability at, the piano.
Miss DERRICK sang with force and ef-
feet and she won her way into the ia
yor of the audience. She. knew how to
pleasingly express the shades of feel
ing from the grave to gay. She closed
the programme with a group of four
we'll known songs which included The
Merry. Merry Lark, oh, That We Two
Were Maying, and Schaeffer's capti-
waiting oh. True Love Is Bonnie
Flower.
The course OF the programme was
married by the coming and going of
people-there were late arrivals. and
there were those TO whom the pro-
gramme evidently did not appeal and
they got up and left Just as the spirit
moved them greatly to the innOva nee
