rs it possible, Herbeck, that you
do not appreciate the magnitude Of
the situation?"

wish to move slowly. Wait. Let the
police find out why they are here.
There will be time enough then to de-
clare war. They have never seen her
highness Who knows?"
"Ah! But they have violated the
treaty."
THAT depends upon whether their
presence here is or is not menace to
the state. If they are here on private
concerns which in nowise touch
Ehrenstein it would be foolhardy to
declare war"
"What do you adviser wearily.
"Wait. In a day or so arrest them
under the pretext that you believe
them to be spies. If this invasion is
harmless and they declare themselves
the matter can be adjusted in this
wise: Ignore their declaration and con-
fine them day or two in the city
prison, then publish the news broad
cast Having themselves broken the
letter if not the spirit Of the treaty,
they will not dare declare war. Every
court in Europe will laugh"
The duke laughed. You are right,
Herbeck. All, here is the chief"
Herbeck read the letter in part to the
chief, who jotted down the words, re-
peating aloud in kind of mutter: "A
mountaineer, a yintner, carter, a
butcher and baker. You will give me
their descriptions, your excellency?"
Herbeck read the postscript.
But you didn't tell him who
"Why should he know?" said Her
beck, glancing shrewdly at the duke.
His ignorance will be all the better
for the plot"
"One is as big and powerful as a
Carpathian bear. Look out" warned
Herbeck.
"And he is?"
1.-THE mountaineer."
"And the vintner?'
"Oh, he is a little fellow and hasn't
grown his bite yet" eaid Herbeck
dryly.
The duke laughed again.
81 thank you, Herbeck. You have
neatly arranged fine comedy. When
the arrest is made, give it as much
publicity as possible. Take a squad Of
soldiers. 1t will give it a military
look"

LIFE
You may speak your words of wisdom
To teach men how to live;
But naught will grow
OF the words you sow
Unless your life you give.
You may give of your gold in abundance
To ease your neighbours strife;
But the gift will fail,
Aye, be little avail,
Unless you give your life.
You may do your deeds Of duty
Up to the close of the day;
But no merit you gain,
Nor reward can claim
Unless your life you give in the way
Christ came not simply with words Of
tongue
Nor seeking gifts for duty done;
But his life he gave
Our souls to save
Thus over death His victory won.
So thus must we, 'tis His decree,
Lose life ourselves-to others reach
But we shall reign,
For loss is gain,
'Tis thus the Lord did ever teach.

But you-what are you doing in

"Well, once upon time there lived
a king. He was young. He had an
uncle who watched over him and his

TWO PICTURES


| went down to the river
And thot I'd drift to sea,
So | sat within my little boat
And let it carry me-
The day wore on, the sun rose high
And then set in the sea,
While | still sat in my little boat
And let it carry me.
lis thus some men spend all their lives
Adrifting out to sea,
Without an oar, without a sail,
Without a port to be;
But just living day by day
And-fare as we can see
Just sitting in their little boats
Adrifting out to sea.
Methot one day I'd like to fish,
So | took my line and went
Down to the river bank and sat.
There the day | spent.
When the sun went down in the western
sky
1t was a glorious sight,
But when | came to reckon up
| hadn't had bite.
So some men think they'll catch their
fish
Without goin' out to sea.
But I've found you can't get fish
Without goin' where they be.
So what's the use of living
Unless your living right,
lis just like sitting on a bank
Where you never get a bite.

OUR FATHER CARES

Remember the days Of thy childhood
When thy heart was young and gay,
When thy path was full of pleasure
And thy hardest work was play.
Remember the time that came later
When you stood as man in the way,
When the path led out before you
70 the burdens Of the day.
Remember the glare and the shadows,
The sky both blue and grey;
The rain abeating at nighttime,
The sun aburning in day.
Remember in all Of thy struggles
There is One awatching the fray;
When thy cross grows heavy in bearing
He will comfort bit on the way.
For the Master who loves US SO truly
Was heard quiet often to say
'In the day of thy need-lean heavy
Thy burdens I'll carry Away

Is on the Rise.

mission men report heavy receipts of
wheat during the past three or four DAYS,
more than has been placed on the locat
market in 10 wears. The wheat is of
good quality, clean, and hard, making al,
excellent flour. On account of the fact
that great ma FORTY of this years har-
vesting was done by machinery instead
of goats and horses, the wheat is in bet
ter condition and is bringing a higher
price. At present the commission men
are paying 80 cents a bushel. with the
promise of a rising market. Next wear
the wheat acreage will be trebled and
there will be two or three additional
power threshers in the valley. This will
mean that the increased crop will be
handled in better manner than hereto
fore and command a higher price
