Somewhere out in the snimmering

Amusement that there was such q
land as GrauStark At first he would
not believe, but the English bank in
Meshhed assured him that he would
come to it if he travelled long enough
and far enough into the north and
west and it he were not afraid of the
hardships that most men abhor The
dying spirit Of romance famed up In

Not until he sat down to a rare din

truly in that tabled, mythical land OF
Graustark, a quaint, grim little princi-

earth's great mantle. This was the
land of his dreams, the land Of his
fancy. He had not even dared to
hope that it actually existed.
And now it becomes my deplorable
duty to divulge the fact that Truxton
King, after two full days and nights
in the city Of Edelweiss, was quite
ready to pass on to other fields, com
pletely disillusioned in his own mind
and not a little disguised with himself
for having gone to the trouble to visit
the place.
Where were the beautiful women
he had read about and dreamed Of
ever since he left Teheran? On his
soul, he had not seen half a dozen
women in Edelweiss who We're more

One dingy little shop in the square
interested him. 1t was directly op-
posite the Royal cafe. with American
bar attached, and the contents Of its
grimy little windows presented pc

They were packed with weapons and

mighty broadsword.
On several occasions he had seen a
grim, sharp featured old man in the

had the impression that his
skin would feel like leather if you
could affect the impertinence to test it
by the sense Of touch. His clothes fitted
him loosely and yet were graciously
devoid Of the bagginess which char
acterizes the appearance of extremely !
young men whose frames are not fully
set and whose joints are still parading |
through the last stages of college de-
velopment.
This tall young man in the panama /!
hat and gray fannels was Truxton
King, embryo globe trotter and search
er after the treasures of romance
Somewhere up near Central park. in
one of the fashionable cross streets,
was the home of his father and his
fathers father before him-a home
which Truxton had not seen in TWO
years or more. 1t is worthy of pass
ing notice, and that is all, that his
| father was manufacturer; more than
that, he was something of a power in
the financial world. His mother was
not strictly social queen in the great
metropolis, but she was what we
might safely call one of the first Ia
dies i'll waiting,'' which is quite good
enough for the wife of a manufacture
er, especially when one records that
her husband was manufacturer Of
steel. It is also matter Of no little
consequence that Truxton's mother
was more or less averse to the steel
business as heritage for her SON.
Do -,
she intended Truxton for the diplo-
matte service.
But neither TruXton's father, who
| wanted him to be a manufacturing
Croesus, nor Truxton's mother, who
expected him to become a social Solo,
mon, appears to have taken the young
mans private inclinations into con-
sideration.
Young Mr.. King believed in ro-
nance. He grew up with an ever in.
creasing bump of imagination, con
tiguous to which. strange to relate
there was a properly developed bump
of industry and application; hence il
is not surprising that he was willing
to go far afield in search of the things
that seemed more or less worth while
to young gentleman who had suf
fered the i'll fortune to be born in tn,
nineteenth century instead of the sew
enteenth.

CHICAGO. April 29.-An investi.
cation of the bribery scandal in
volving the Chicago Western In
diana railroad by the Illinois leg
islature as composed two years ago,
and the city council of Chicago
and sums of money which may run
anywhere between $4,000 and tre-
BILE that amount, has been ordered
by States Attorney Wayman, who
today directed a special grand jury
be empanelled to conduct the in
vestigation. The action today was
based on allegations made by John
G. Fetzer who was sued today by
the Chicago and Western Indiana

which the railroad company AYERS
FetZer defrauded the company in a
real estate transaction.
Fetzer in turn asked for an in
junction preventing the prosecution
of the suit, alleging the part of the
money which the road seeks to re-
cover went to influence legislation
in both Springfield and Chicago.

ADVANCE IN
silver QUOTATION
VERY PLEASING

The advance in the price of silver
from 52h to SAN cents per ounce
during the past month gives the
silver miner quite an important
advance in the market price of
his ore, and is particularly notice
able In the returns on the high
grade silver ores of Tonopah, and
of Lnckyboy. the principal silver
producing camp of Esmeralda coun-
ty. On 250-ounce ore it adds more
than $44 ton to the value of the
ore at the smelter, and on a large
tonnage such as is now being ship
ped from Luckyboy, it counts up
fast
This is the highest price silver
has reached for nearly two years
and while no well defined explana~
tion is offered by insiders as to
the cause of the rise, it is gem
orally accepted as due to reduced
output of the mines that supply
the market in Mexico and Spain,
which gives those in control of the
situation an opportunity to push
up the price of the store of white
metal they have been accumulating
at a much lower figure

KANSAS CITY, April 29.-With
the calling of DR.. Frank Hall, the
patheologist, to the witness stand
today, the Hyde murder trial en-
tered the complicated realm of ex-
pert testimony Hall assisted HEX
toen to make the autopsy on the
colonel's body on January 18th.
Later he conducted an investiga-
tion to determine, if possible, the
source of the typhoid epidemic in
the Swope residence. Practically
all the examination of the patheolo-
gist dealt with the condition of the
colonel's vital organs at the time
of the post mortem The witness
said he was unable to locate the
typhoid epidemic in the Swope resi-
dence. 1t seemed to him the germs
were introduced in mass by some
one bent upon a scientific expert
ment. Mrs. William Beebe, wife
of one of the jurymen, is in criti-
cal condition in a hospital. and it is
feared the trial may be postponed
