she bent her piercing eyes upon the
prince and refused to read his future.
shrilly asserting that she had not the
courage to tell what might befall the
little ruler, all the while muttering
something about the two little princes
who had died in tower ages and ages
ago Seeing that the boy was fright
ened, Tullis withdrew him to the back
ground. The Countess Marlanx came
next She was smiling deriSively.

But the countess deliberately turned
away from the table, her cheeks fam

had swept the circle behind her grace

John Tullis' gaze. Il don't care to

Truxton King. subdued and troubled
in his mind found himself studying
his surroundings and the people who
went SO far TO make them interesting
His eye had fallen upon crack IN the
door that led to the kitchen, although
he had no means Of knowing that it
was a kitchen. To his amaZement, a
cleaning eye was looking out upon the
room from beyond this narrow crack
He looked long and found that be was
not mistaken. There was an eye glued
close to the opposite side Of the rickety
door, and its gaze was directed TO the
Countess Marlanx.
Without pausing 70 consider the re-
suit of his action. he sprang across the
room. shouting as he did 50 that there
was a man behind the door GraSping
the latch. he threw the door wide open,
the others in the room looking at him

There was instant commotiOp. With

was at his side before them. Snaring
with rage Her tulonlike fingers sunk
into his arm. and her gaze went dart
ing about the room in most coDyinc'
ing way.
Baron Dangloss was convinced that
the young man had seen the eye. With
out conjunction he began a search u
the room, the old woman looking on
with grin Of glee.

There was a man here, old woman"
said the baron coolly. Where is the

She laughed aloud, horrid sound.

inches in diameter \ man couldn't

the middle Of the room and began to
wave her hands il z mysterious man

the floor in front Of the stove. Then
before their startled eyes a thin film

\ deafening crash as of many guns
came to their ears from the outside.
With one accord the entire party rush
ed to the outer door, a wild laugh from
the bag pursuing them.

all there was Of him. And so shall We
all go some day. Fire and smoke
Just outside the door stood Lieuten-

Good Lord shouted Tullis. "What
Is the matter? What has happened:"

A great crash of thunder burst over
head. and lightning darted through the
black, swirling skies.

John Tullis found himself being drag
ged away from the witch's door to-
ward the newcomer at the bottom Of
the glen. Mr. Hobbs listened with
deepening awe to the friendly CONVEX
sation which resulted in Truxton King
going forward to join the party in
front Of the hut.
Tru1ton was duly presented to the
ladies and gentlemen Of the party by
John Tullis, who gracefully announced
that he knew Kings parents in New
York Baron Dangloss was quite an
old friend, II one were to Judge by the
manner in which be greeted the young
man. The lady in gray smiled SO
sweetly and nodded so blithely that
Tullis, instead Of presenting King to
her as he had done to the Countess
Marlanx and others, merely said:
And you know one another, OF
course" Whereupon she flushed very
prettily.
Truxton King. scarcely able TO be-
ueve his good fortune, crowded into
the loathsome, squalid room with his
aristocratic companions.
Never had Truxton looked upon
creature who so thoroughly INDICATED
the lifelong reliance he had put in the
description Of witches given by the
fairy tale tellers Of his earliest youth.
She had the traditional hook nose and
peaked chin, the glittering eyes, the
thousand wrinkles and the toothless
gums. He looked about for the raven
and the cat, but II she had them they
were not in evidence. At rough
guess he calculated her age at 100
years.
"Grewsome lady, isn't she:" whis-
pered King.
Il shall dream of her for months"
whispered the lady in gray, shudder-
ing.

You must not speak while she is
gazing into the crystal" she warned
after a quick, searching glance at his
face.
Although it was broad daylight, the
low, stuffy room would have been
pitch dark had it not been for the
Pickering candles on the table beside
the bent gray head Of the mumbling
fortune teller, whose bony fingers
twitched over and about her crystal
globe like wiggling serpents' tails.
The window gave little or no light,
and the door was closed, her grinning
grandson leaning against it Imply.
The witch began by reading the
fortune Of John Tullis, who had been
pushed forward by the wide eyed
prince. In cackling monotone she
rambled through a supposititious his

Police the Forests.
From the Omaha Bee.


Surely our government realizes that
greater protection to our forests is essen
tial. It's astounding loss of human life
and priceless timber this year must have
convinced it of that. All the different
theories and policies of conservation in
the world will do no good SO long as the
forests care left unprotected and subject
to the ravages of fire, which in the last
few months has consumed millions OF
dollars and scores of lives. wiping out
towns and homes and lifetime prospects
in various portions of the country.
One thing is proved beyond cavil or
question: our forest ranger service is piti-
i fully inadequate and should be aug
mented. 1t should be brought up to a
able hope of protection to the forests and
the people within or near them. 1t does
seem that this is the first and most essen
tal step In the process Of practical con-
servation, no matter by what theorist S
name 1t may 90. no matter whether ii
contempiates state or national control. II
lis no time to discuss mere theory when
life and the nations resources are at
stake. Here is something that could be
done-this increase in the forest ranger
service. And if that is not sufficient, take
the next step. But at all events the gov
eminent is simply marking time when il
stops to indulge the theorist when it is
the practitioner who Is wanted
Another simple thing that should be
done is to adopt such rules and regula-
/ tons as will stop tourists and hunters in
their criminally careless habits Of leav-
/ ing fires burning in timber domains
Many destructive CONGREGATIONS have
come from just such trivial causes. It IS
! also necessary to throw up better safe
| guards against sparks from locomotives
on railroads traversing forest country
These are all little nlatters that could
! and should be attended to.
