name for Standard Oil. He may
be relied upon to indorse an AID

The name of M. e. Olmsted was
substituted for that of John Tai
zell. Olmsted is one of the Can

he has stood upon the floor and
defended the Cannon rules and
voted for the Cannon propositions.
He is talked of as successor to
Cannon by those reactionaries who
want to save the speakership for
the system when Cannon finally
goes down. Olmsted, like Mccall
of Massachusetts, will carry out
the purposes of the Cannon-Al-
drich combination. No one fur

of Minnesota, who declined to
serve, not much is said by either
side. DENLY is a Cannon man. He
made speech not long ago sing
ing the praises of "Uncle Joe" and
giving reasons for continuing the
ubiquitous rules. He is compare
lively new member, and. while he
has voted always with the organi-
cation, he has made no direct re-
cord on the subject of conserva-
ton, so far as yet discovered and
the insurgent members hope that
he will add strength to the Pinchot
element in the committee.
Much is hoped of the two Demo-
cratic members, Ollie James and
Graham of Illinois. James is one
of the members of his party who
has upheld the hands of Champ
Clark in his attacks upon the Can

Washington, D. c., Jan. 81
The courageous stand made by the
insurgents in the house has i'm
proved the character of the Pin
chot-Ballinger investigating COM
mittee. 1t is still, no doubt. a
packed jury, but the minority of
honest men has been increased.
President Taft's successful fight
for the removal of Representative
Rainey of Illinois lost the commit
tee the services of a keen and en-.
ergetic man. In the operation,
however, the public has been fur
nished the spectacle of a president
actively taking part in an attempt
to dictate the personnel of a sup
posedly impartial investigating
body. This will, no doubt, carry
its moral.
The only charge against Rainey
is his record for activity and bold
ness of speech. He has shown him
self industrious, outspoken and
courageous-just the kind of man
likely to bring out facts. He was
the choice of the Democratic eau
Gus, and his removal was accom-
plished only by the active inter
vention of the president, who call
ed insurgents as well as regulars
to the White House and begged
them to permit the name of Rain
ey to be dropped.
Another change suggested by
Senator Aldrich and approved by
President Taft was the substitu-
ton of Senator Fletcher of Florida
for the name of Senator Hughes
of Colorado. Hughes has been
openly and avowedly opposed to
conservation, and it was suggested
that his appointment would be un-
necessarily raw" The same re-
suit could be served by the substi-
tuition of the name of Fletcher,

Gratis. The Florida senator repre-

Free City Slaughter House; a
Way to Beat the Beef Trust

PITTSBURG, Jan. 31.-When
the people of Pittsburg started to
figure out how they could beat the
beef trust they didn't thing that a
great city could get rich by going
into the butchering business. But
officials headed by Mayor Magee.
Health Officer E. r. Walters and
DR.. ]. C. Mcneil, superintendent
of the food inspection bureau, be-
lieve the city can own it's own
butchering plant, deliver fresh
meat free of expense to the meat
dealers here, and make big
profit out of the byproducts.
Accordingly, plans have been
drawn for a $4,000 municipal alb
battoir, like those in Europe.
Meat dealers will deliver live
stock to the abattoir. This will be
butchered by the city, and the
meat turned back to the dealers
free. This ought to lower the
price to the dealers IA per cent,
with a like reduction to the con-
sumner.
Smoky city, violet-scented tot
let soap, Allegheny" kettle rem
dered leaf lard. "Tristate stick 'em
fast glue and Magee's famous
chrome-tanned hides may soon be
advertised on all the billboard
here IL the plan goes through. For
the by-products. which the city
will get free, can be turned into
fancy toilet articles, washing pow
der and household necessities.
A double back handed blow at
the beef trust will surely result,
Mayor Magree is confident.
In one week here there is con-
sumner 100000 pounds of meat
The animals from which $4,000
pounds of the meat is obtained are
slaughtered in small Independent
abattoils. About 20 per cent sof
the retailers do their own slaugh-
tering, but there is no doubt that
a much greater percentage, If not
all of them would avail themselves
of the free city abattoir when they
are shown its advantages.

doughty guardsmen actually salut-
ed him with admiration in their
eyes.
But he was not satisfied. Lor-
Iaine had not come forward with al
word of greeting or relief; in fact,
she had not appeared outside the
Castle doors. Strangely enough,
with the entire park at his dispos-
al, he chose to frequent those av-
Ienues nearest the great balconies.
More than once he visited the grot-
ito where he had first seen her; but
lit was not the same. The occas-
ionalcrack of a rifle on the walls
no longer fired him with the in
terest he had felt in the begin
ming. Forty-eight hours had pass

could it mean? Was she ill? Had
she collapsed after the frightful
strain?
Worse than anything else: was
she devoting all of her time to
Count Vos Engo?

saw in an instant that the order
was meant for him and for no one

likely to come under the head of

lvealed the fact that not only were
the officers watching the little
scene, but others in the balcony
were looking on.

the point, he hastily lifted his hat
to the spectators and turned into
the avenue without a word.

His glance again swept the bal

The defenders of the Castle tore
his message in two and sent it back
to him without disfguring it by a
single word in reply. The corn
full laughter which greeted the
reading of the document by Count
Halfont did not lose any of it's
force in the report that the truce
bearers carried, with considerable
uneasiness, to the Iron Count later
on.
No one in the castle was de-
ceived by Marlanx's promise to
provide safe conduct for the
Prince. They knew that the boy
was doomed If he fell into the
hands of this iniquisous old
schemer. More than that, there
was not heart among them so
faint that it was not confident of
eventually victory over the usurp-
.er. They could hold out for weeks
against starvation. Hope is an
able provider.
A single, distant volley at sun
set had puzzled the men on guard
at the Castle. They had no means
of knowing that the Committee of
Ten and it's wretched friends had
been shot down like dogs in the
Public Square. Peter Brutus was
in charge of the squad of execu-
TONERS.
Soon after the return of Mar
lanx's messengers to the tower, a
number of carriages were observ-
ed approaching in Castle Avenue.
They were halted couple of hun
dred yards from the gates and
once more flag of truce was pre-
sented. There was single line
from Marlanx: 81 am sending in
disputable witnesses to bear testi-
mony to the thoroughness of my
conquest.
"MARLANX''
Investigation convinced the cap
tain of the Guard that the motley
caravan in the avenue was made
up of loyal, representative citizens
from the important villages of the
realm. They were admitted to the
grounds without question. Y
The Countess Prandeville OF
Ganlook, terribly agitated, was
one of the first to enter the haven
of safety, such as it was. After
her came the mayors and the
magistrates of a dozen villages.
Count Marlanx's reason for deliv-
ering these people over to their
friends in the Castle was at once
manifest.
BY the words of their mouths
his almost complete castery of the
situation was conveyed to the
Princes defenders. In every in
stance the representative from a
village sorrowfully admitted that
Marlanx's men were in control
Ganlook, an ancient stronghold,
had been taken without struggle
by a handful of men. The Count
ess's husband was even now con-
fined in his own castle under
lguard.
The news was staggering. Count
Halfont had based his strongest
hopes on the assistance that would
naturally come from the villages.
Moreover. the strangely commits
stoned emissaries cast additional
gloom over the situation by the
report that mountaineers, herds
men and woodchopers in the north
were flocking to the assistance of
the Iron Count, followed by hordes
of outlaws from the Axphain hills.
They were swarming into the city.
These men had always been thorns

1T is worse than l thought, 4"
said Count Halfont, after listening
to the words of the excited magis-
trates. "Are there no loyal men
outside these walls?" =
Thousands, sir, but they are
not organized. They have no
leader, and but little with which
to fight against such a force"
1T is hard to realize that a
force of three or four THOUSAND
desperadoes has the power to defy
an entire kingdom. A city of 75,-
600 people in the hands of hiSe-
lings! The shame of it,"
TruXton King was leaning
against column not far from the
little group, nervously pulling
away at the pipe Quinnox had
given him. AS If impelled by q
common thought, a half dozer
pairs of eyes were turned In his
direction. Their owners looked
as quickly away, again moved by 6
common thought.
The Minister of Mines gave ut.
terance to single sentence that
might well have been called the
epitome of that shrewd, concen.
trated thought:
There must be some one here
who can get to John Tullis before

CHAPTER XIX
lTRUXTON EXACTS A PROMISE
Truxton King had been in q
lresentful frame of mind for nearI,
forty-eight hours. In the first
place, he had not had so much as
a single glimpse of the girl he now
had learned, with unpleasant
promptness, that Count Vos Engc

Truxton naturally did not ex
pect to invade the Castle in search
of the crumb of comfort he so ar.
IDENTIFY desired; he did not, how.
ever, dream that Vos Engo would
deny him the privilege of staring
at certain window from a rather
prim retreat in far corner of the
Plaza.
He had, of course, proffered his
services to Colonel Quinnox. The
Colonel, who admired the Ameri.
cans, gravely informed him that
there was no regular duty to
