CHAPTER XIV.
A Mistake in Assassination.

A Mistake in Assassination.
Let his future be what 1t might,
Jack Keith would never again forget
the girl who held the door open for
his passage with one hand, her other
clasped in his. Interested before, yet
forcing himself into Indifference now
that he knew who she really was, the
man made full surrender. 1t was a
struggle that kept him from clasping
the slender figure in his arms, and
pouring forth the words Of tenderness
which he sternly choked back. This
was neither the time, nor the place,
yet his eyes must have spoken, for
Hopes glance fell, and her cheeks
grew crimson.

turn this time, 90 I?'' she questioned
her voice trembling.

men loitered in the Office. Keith

not stop to make any inquiries of the
clerk 1t was growing dark, the lights
already burning, and from the plash-

Attack Right to Hold Office.

Madison.-The right of Assembly
man Grant U. Fisher of GAINESVILLE to
hold the office of member of the
state livestock sanitary board is be-

the board by the state board of agri-
culture, of which he is also a mem
Der, is called contrary to the state
constitution, which provides that no
member of the Legislature shall be
appointed to any civil office which
shall have been created or the emolu-

creased during his term. The 1911
Legislature increased the mum Der OF

TOUR TO FOLLOW
GREAT NORTHERN

Bismarck, N. D., April 21.-State
Engineer Atkinson has received a let
ter from c. s. Harrington Of ST. Paul,
who is the pathfinder for the Minneso-
Ia State Automobile association. Mr..
Harrington advises that the Minneso-
Ia Automobile association contemplates
a twin city to Helena tour, which win
be run in July. Mr.. Harrington. the
pathfinder, will leave ST. Paul on a
map making trip May 10, and will
cover approximately 1850 miles between
st. Paul and Helena. laying out the
best route to be taken by the tourists
when they make their trip in July.
The route will generally follow the
main line of the Great Northern
through North Dakota.
The state engineer desires to call
the attention of the road officials along
the line Of the proposed rout in order
that they may have their roads In the
best possible condition for the path
finder, in order that the different towns
interested may be sure OF the passage
of the tourists on their trip.
It is urged upon all commercial clubs,
county commissioners and others who
are interested to urge upon their road
officials the need of getting their roads
into first class shape for the path
finder, In order that the best possible
showing may be made, which in itself
will be a great advertisement for that
part Of the state through which the
tourists will travel.

Mccall Claims Farmers Have
Been Used
RAPID FIRE DISCUSSION
BELIEVED THAT VOTE WILL BE
TAKEN ON THE MEASURE IN
THE HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON.
LEADERS ALL SPEAK IN CLOS
ING HOURS OF DEBATE.

Washington, April 21.-Six days of
debate on Canadian reciprocity came to
an end in the house Of representatives
this afternoon with the speeches of the
three leaders in the fight. Representa-
tives Underwood of Alabama, Mccall
OF Massachusetts, and Dalzell of Penn
syIyania. Crowded galleries heard the
concluding speeches. The house began
a rapid fire consideration Of the bill
under the privilege of an amendment
and FIVE minute speeches were made.
Mccall declared that the farmers of
the United States had been pushed
forward to hide the real interests OPP
posed to the agreement. Mccall said
that he spoke in behalf of all repub-
iicans who are in favor of the measure.
He ridiculed the "eulogies upon the
farmer which he said has characterized
the majority"
"The advantage of this reciprocity
agreement will be not that Of reducing
the price of a single bushel of wheat
but when the time of our scarcity
comes it will prevent rise in price
by giving US free access to the Ca
madam supply"
The house of representatives entered
today upon what the leaders hope is
the final stage of the consideration of
the Canadian reciprocity bill. Strenu-
Gus efforts are being made to force a
vote before adjournment today.
1t was agreed at a conference be-
tween Chairman Underwood and Rep
resentatives Mccall OF Massachusetts
and DalEell Of Pennsylvania that the
general debate would close at 3 p. m.
and remarks under the five minute
rule will be in order.
Today's debate includes speeches by
Mr.. Mccall and Mr.. Dalzell, the for
mer in advocacy of the measure and
the latter against it. Mr.. Underwood,
as the majority leader, claimed the
privilege of closing the debate.
