THE DESPERATE AMERICAN TOSSED HER
INTO THE COACH.
for day and night, awaiting the re-
turn of master who was never to
come back to them. God rest his SIM
pie soul!
Truxton King picked himself up
from the street, dazed, bewildered, but
unhurt. The revolutionists had begun
the assault on the paralyzed minions
Of the government.
He looked back toward the CORY en-
trance to the circus. There was Mar
lanx, mounted and swinging saber
on high. Ahead was a mass of car
riages, filled with the white faced, pal
sled prey from the court of Graustark.
From somewhere near the spot where
Olga Platanova fell came a harsh, pen
etrating command:
"Cut them off! Cut them off from
the castle!'
1t was his cue. He dashed into the
street and ran toward the carriages,
shouting with all his strength:
"Turn backl 1t is Marlanx! To the
castlew
The boy was standing on seat on the
royal coach Of state, holding out his
eager little hands to some one In the
thick Of the crowd that surged about
him. He was calling some ones name,
but no one could have heard him.
Truxton's straining eyes caught sight
Of the figure in gray that struggled
forward In response to the cries and
the extended hand.
"Aunt Lorraine! Aunt Lorainew BE

with all his little heart.
Two officers struck at the uncouth
desperate American as he lifted the

| tossed her into the coach.

man rode him down. He looked up as
the plunging animals hoofs clattered
about his head. Vos Engo, with
drawn sword, was crowding up to the
carriage door. shouting words of re
joicing at sight of the girl he loved.

Quinnox as he waited inside the gates
for the wild rider.
General Braze, with few Of his
men, bloody and heartsick. was the
last Of the little army to reach safety
in the castle grounds.
The fortress. with all guns, stores and
ammunition. was In the hands OF the
Iron Count and his cohorts.
Baron Dangloss had been taken pris-
oner with whole platoon OF lighting
constables. This was the last appall-
ing bit of news to reach the horri6ed,
disorganized forces in the castle
grounds.
A wise as well as cruel man was
Marlanx. He lost no time In issuing
a manifesto to the stunned. demoral-
ized citizens of Edelweiss. Scores of
criers went through the streets during
the long, wretched afternoon. announc'
ing to the populace that Count Mar
lanx had established himself as die
tator and military governor OF the
principality pending the abdication
Of the prince and the beginning Of a
new and substantial regime. All cit.
izens were commanded to recognize
the authority Of the dictator.

L. Berland and family leave Sun

them he may enter into business

with the growth and social life of

prosperity in their new home.

Toward evening, after many con-
sultations and countless reports, Mar
lanx removed his headquarters to the
tower. He had fondly hoped to be in
the castle long before this.
The cells and dungeons In the great
old tower were now occupied by
bruised. defeated officers of the law.
Baron Jasto Dangloss. crushed In
spirit and broken of body, paced the
blackest and narrowest cell of them
all.

small group Of people gathered In the
square. A meeting was soon In prog
ress. A goods box stood over against
the very spot on which Olga Plata
nova died An old man began haran-

In the group might have been seen
most members of the committee of ten.
In the midst of his harangue the
hand of William Spantz was arrested
In one of Its most emphatic gestures.
Peter Brutus was approaching at the
head Of a group of aliens, all armed.
"One moment" called out Peter
Brutus, lifting his hand imperatively.
The speaker ceased his mouthings.
"Count Marlanx desires the Immediate
presence of the following citizens at
his Office In the tower shall call

ANY STAR BOARDERS
AMONG YOUR HENS2
COLLEGE PROFESSOR TELLS
HOW TO PICK OUT THE
EGG LAYERS.

Corvallis, April 27-The conversion
of a flock of hens that barely pays
for the feed it eats into one which
will lift the mortgage from the home
farm is largely matter of the elm
ination Of the "star boarder," and
the conservation of the 200-egg-a-year
hens. Prof. Dryden of the Oregon
Agricultural college has made spec
ial study of this subject, and is
firm believer in the trap-nest.
ITO discover the egg type Of hen
we have got to use the trapnest, or
some method of keeping a record
Of eggs laid by individual hens" he
has said. "The trapnest is about the
best thing we have discovered in
the poultry business. We will make
slow improvement in breeding with
out an egg record for each hen in
the flock. The objection to the trap
nest is that 1t requires too much la
Dor for the farmer. That is true.
Not many FARMERS can give III the
necessary time. believe that the
state or experiment station should
come to the rescue here. There
should be breeding station, or sew
eral breeding stations, in every state
where farmers could secure at nom-
inal prices cockerels of good egg-lay-
ing pedigree to mate with their
flocks. 1t would not take very long
to furnish every farmer with male
bird whose ancestry for two genera
tions had an egg record of $50 eggs
a year or more.

Soldiers came riding up from be
