Monuments to "vest:" '''


AS u general thing. one of the first
duties of the wife of an incoming pres
ident and one Of the things she usual
ly enjoys heartily is to attend to such
rearrangements and refurnishings of
the White House as may be necessary
or advisable according to her person
al taste. the size. and customs of her
family, and SO on.
remember one occasion, writes
Colonel William H. Crook in the Phil
adelphia Saturday Evening Post, when
Mrs. Harrison had finally decided
upon some slight architectural changes
and had brought her architects plans
to the president and asked his opinion
Of them. General Harrison studied
the drawings with care and noticed
that several inches were left, each
plainly marked. At last he said:
''Well, my dear. here is u place for
Lincoln, and here is a place for
Grants bust. And you have left
three places for Vest" Then he add
ed, with well assumed indignation. 81
am decidedly opposed to so many
monuments to Vest-in the White
House!"
Mrs. Harrison hastened to explain
what her husband, of course. knew all
the time-that the word "Vest." was
the architects contraction for vesti-
bule. of which there were three on the
plans. whereupon the president said
he was satisfied and handed the draw,
tngs back to her. with a twinkle in his
keen blue eyes.

LET THE MAJORITY RULE.

Judging by the concerted yelping, it
would look as though the Cavalier
county-seat committee had given orders
to the shared help" to howl at what they
may have considered to be somewhat of
q critical time in the litigation which
has ensued largely from the bungles
made by that committee in conducting
the canvas for votes at the time of the
election.
Some of these yelping helpers go so
far as to lmpugn the motives of the
judge of this district and one declares
that he made a bad legal errorln allow
ing Pembina to appeal to the courts at
all.
The whole thing is just intended to
manufacture public sentiment in the
hope that such sentiment may control
the courts. Cavalier attorneys find
themselves in very precarious position,
both as to law and fact. The texts of
the yelpers are the 'subversion of the
rights of the people; that the county
seat question was .effectually and finally
settled at the time of election, and that
the majority should be given their
rights, etc.
All of which sounds we'll on its face
but there is one very important matter
which these people seem to forget, or
which at least that they omit to mention.
The minority have rights. Perhaps
the origin of courts was practically for
this particular purpose. Before courts
were established 1'mlght made right"
Admitting that Pembina is in the
minority for the sake of the argument,
and suppose that it was so far in the
minority that it was reduced as the
Chronicle says it is to ''half dozen
.disgruntled citizens of Pembina," /" these
half dozen, weak and insignificant as
they may be, are guaranteed certain
rights by the constitution Of the United
States and the constitution and statutes
of the state of North Dakota.
Sec. % of the constitution Of this
state says "All courts shall be open. and
every man, for any injury done him in
his land, goods, person or reputation,
shall have remedy by due pfocess Of
law"
Fortunately for the people Of Pembi-
ma as well as for good government and
the general welfare, the courts are not
usually governed by the same sort Of
prejudices and partisanship as the

RECIPROCITY THAT DON'T
REclPROcATE,

ers, "revision of tariff" by the Repub-
lican insurgents. "free-trade" by the
democratic majority in the next House
of Representatives, have been supple.
mented this week by the publication
OF the proposed schedule of the reipro-
city agreement with Canada.
With all these going, we wonder
where the farmers of North Dakota are
at.
The farmers of the northwestern
states, particularly of the wheat and
corn growing states from North Dakota
to Kansas, have been full Of "tariff
revislon' and "progressiveism" for the
last few years.
Nobody has made bigger howls over
the late tariff measure of the Republic
can party than the Republican farmers
of these states. In retaliation for the
supposed iniquities of that bill they
have been electing progressive" re-
publicans to congress and also demo-
cratic governors by their direct ballots,
while in other cases they have made q
split in the republican ranks so that the
democrats have had little trouble in
electing their own men.
These farmers have no kick coming
at President Taft. He has studied the
election returns from the west. He
wants to reduce the "high price of
living" and reduce the high price OF
food -stuffs. The farmers said 40 by
their votes. The easy way is to allow
the Canadian farmers to send their
products free of duty, and that is the
principal matter of the proposed recip-
roc ty treaty. Locally, it will be only q
few years when the Canadian northwest
will be able to supply all the needs of
the Minneapolis mills at about the same
proportioaate reduced prices that at
present prevail across the line-and the
N ,rth Dakota farmer will sell accord
ingly.
Over across the line we learn that
there was great rejoicing over the de-
tails of the proposed treaty. The farm
ers there have been watching the
Minneapolis markets for many years
now and they have been wondering why
they cannot get as much on an average
by ten cents a bushel rs have the
farmers of North Dakota for their wheat.
Now they hail with Joy the prospects Of
the increase. But we fear that their
hopes will not pan out, at least to the
extent they imagine. While it will
benefit the Canadian farmers to some
extent, either the influx of the Cana.
dian food products will not reduce the
''high prices of food-stuffs" on this side
or else the Canadian farmers will get
less for their stuff. The thing can't
work both ways.
The increased market facilities would
doubtless add say cent or two to the
Canadian wheat, but on the other hand
the influx on the American markets
will make general reduction, hence
the net result would be q loss to them.
ON the, other hand it woald be all less
to the North Dakota farmer.
That sort of reciprocity would fail of
Feciprocating benefits except to rail-
roads and chamber of commerce people.

faltered, 1t is true, and his knees
trembled beneath him, and yet, slow
ly and with many pauses he made his
way forward.
He was horribly afraid all the time,
but curiosity was all the while over
powering fear He was not more than
200 yards away when Cayley alighted
beside the girl.
At what he saw then, Roscoe
dropped his rife on the beach, with a
whispered oath, and rubbed his eyes.
The light which diffused itself from
the open window of the hut was not
much, but 1t was enough to reveal the
fact that this great man-bird, this
golden winged spirit which had kept
him in terror for his own sanity all
these months, was taking of his wings
and folding them up into bundle, in
as matter-of-fact way as II he were
furling an umbrella. He stood there
now. Just an ordinary human figure
of a man; the very man, in fact, that
he had seen before and would have
killed long ago had 1t not been for his
over.mastering terror of the thing
with wings.
He presented a fair mark now, and
was in easy range, but Roscoe was toe
thoroughly astonished to seize the op
portunity, and in a moment It was
gone again. The two figures shranl
into the, shadow of the hut, and thu
next moment the light disappeared.
For a moment, an accession o
Okolona messenger., 1911-06-29

rage against the two who had bafied
him and enjoyed immunity from him
so long, almost led him to attempt to
break into the hut then and there, and
settle matters; but his saner common
sense told him that the settlement
would almost inevitably be against
him should he attempt it.
He was still entertaining this no
ton, however, when luminous idea
occurred to him. Around on the far
side of the hut, the west side, which
looked toward the headlands, was a
good-sized heap of flre-wood, which
Philip had not been able to find
room for inside the hut, Roscoe had
with him flint and steel and a
quantity Of tow. He never travelled
without them.
With infinite precnution against
noise he began laying fire against
the windward wall of the hut Squat
ting, with his rifle across his knees
ready to use In case Of an emergency
he methodically whitfield quantity Of
dry splinters off a few of the sticks,
ignited them and carefully nursed the
blaze, until under the rising wind, 1t
grew to the beginning of a fair-sized
confagration. Then, catching up his
rife, he slipped around the other side
of the hut, crouching down not more
than 20 PAGES away, and waited.
Already the fire was burning finely
and the silhouetted outline Of the hut
was plain against the glow Of 1t.
His plan was a good one. The peo-
pie inside the hut would have nc
choice and, probably, no thought, but
of escape. When they rushed out, as
they almost certainly would, bewild
cred and confused, and plainly visible
to him against the glow Of the fire be-
hind them, 1t would be easy, from the
safe shelter of the darkness, to shoo'
the man.
1t was only, indeed, by the meres'
hairs breadth that Roscoe's plair
failed to work. The instinct Of es
cape by the nearest way from burn
ing building Is almost irresistible, ant
it led Philip and Jeanne to the very
edge Of the destruction, which Roscoe
had planned for them.
Cayley had his hand upon the Dol

bear, and the belated observation tina

what once had been shirt, suficed
to put It into commission again.
Then, with the rife over his shSul
der, he staggered out Of the cave.
With his first glance abroad, he
started. His devil was being kind to
him today. There could be no doubt
of that. Only, was be being too kindI
Roscoe wondered a little uneasily.
For, shambling along the ice, through
the thickening twilight, not 100 PAGES
away, was a big bear. Roscoe was
tired of walrus meat. The thought OF
bear steak made his mouth water.
Three years disuse, however, had
made his craftsmanship somewhat
uncertain. He fired too soon, and
though he did not miss, the only ef-
feet his shot had was to make the
bear turn about and go shambllng
down, the glacier toward the beach,
with ungainly haste. Roscoe hurried
after him, and fired two more shots.
Whether they hit or not, he could not
tell. Certainly they did not serve to
check the bears flight. The next mo-
ment he had rounded the corner OF
the cliff and disappeared down the
beach in the direction Of the hut.
Roscoe hesitated, but only for q
moment; then, with an oath, he set
out in pursuit. 1t was not 30 much
the protection which the rife afforded
him that was responsible for this new
courage as 1t was that the mere feel
Of 1t In his hands brought him back
in touch once more with the every
day matter of fact world and made
his visions and ghosts seem a little
unreal
1t was fully dark down here in the
shadow of the cliff The numbering vel
low shape OF the bear was indistin
guishable against the Icy beach. Tha
didn't matter, for he could follow
along we'll enough by the bloody
tracks the wounded beast had left.
The last of the twilight was still IL
the sky, and half his glances wert
directed thither, looking for some
thing which he told himself could no
possibly exist, except in his owl
fancy, yet fully expected to see never
theless, the shadow of Cayley's grea
wings. And at last he saw it i'm
pending in the lower air, like brood
ing spirit, just above the tiny squar
Of light which marked the location c
the hut.
Roscoe abandoned his pursuit of tn
bear; all thought Of 1t, in fact, wa
gone from his mind; but he did no
as on a former occasion, drop dow
prone upoa the ground, his face burie
in his arms; nor did he turn and file
like one hagridden up the beach. H
Okolona messenger., 1911-06-29

articulated themselves into a perfect
ly clear perception of Roscoe's plan.
"The other way The other way!s
he cried, motioning Jeanne back
through the storeroom. Into the
cave. He is waiting for us outside.
That's why he fired the hut. Quick.
We must save all we can"
And so it happened that Roscoe
waited in vain. He saw the blaze he
had kindled reach its fiery climax,
and then in spite of the icy gale which
was tanning 1t, die down into an
angry, sullen, smouldering glow But
no man appeared to furnish a mark
for his waiting rifle, and no woman
was delivered defenseless, shelterless,
into his british hands.
The failure Of his plan brought
back moment or two of the old sup
erstitious horror, but his mind was
braced against 1t now and did not
readily give way. Somehow, the fail
ure must be ountable-humanly ac-
countable.
At last he solved this mystery, too
partly solved 1t, at least, for he re-
membered the ice cave back of the
hut His first impulse, when he
thought Of 1t, was to attack them
there and now, to charge in over the
red hot Goals Of the hut and settle
matters once and for all.
He was sane enough to see that the
advantage would be all against him
In close quarters he could not d,
Okolona messenger., 1911-06-29

That's why l sent you into the hut
It occurred to me that he might be
following the bear, and that the light
ed windows might give him a chance
for a shot at one Of us. No matter
what superstitious fears he has. he
could hardly be too much afraid to fire
at us from a safe distance, If we hap
pened to offer fair mark"
But we must have offered him that
hundred times in the last weeks
that Is, If his rifle had anything like
modern range"
THAT bullet is certainly modern
piece of ordnance" said Cayley. ITS
soft-nosed and steel -jacketed."
He laid It down on shelf and went
into the storeroom to wash the stains
of the encounter from his hands.
after ALL" he said, ITS only one
more mystery, and l don't know that
one more can make any great differ
ence. Not in our way Of life, GER
tainly,"
Both tried to stick to that view OF
it and, for the present, to dismiss
conjecture upon the new topic from
their minds, but they did not succeed
very we'll. The idea that forced itself
upon them, in spite of their attempt to
discredit It, was that Roscoes acqui
sition Of modern, long-range weapon
with ammunition to match did moi
date back to the murder Of Captain
Fielding, nor to the disappearance Of
the Aurora, but that he had found the
weapon, by some strange chance, only
very recently, perhaps within a day
or two. It was q disquieting thought
at best.
1t was time for Cayley to turn IL
and for Jeanne to begin her evening
watch alone, but before that happened
they paid an extra amount of atten
tioa to the security of their doors an'
windows.
1t was little before IL oclocl
when Cayley came out of deep slee
to find her bending over him, shakln
him by the shoulder and crying ou
his name.
Okolona messenger., 1911-06-29

Philip had been enjoying, he was,
again, the very man who, during those
long years Of exile, had dominated
crew and captain Of the Walrus and
bent them to his will.
He was returning from the ledge
along the crown Of the glacier, when,
on the day of this discovery, he found
that his accustomed path was inter
rupted by new f1ssure in the ice; 1t
had occurred since he had come that
way in the morning, and was too
broad to leap across. So he was forced
to descend by the rougher and more
difficult track which lay along the
moraine.
Before he had gone three PAGES
along this track his eye made out
something, Just off his patch and lit
tie below 1t, which caused him at first
to utter a snarl of anger, but led him
the next moment to give wild bias
phemous yell Of Joy.
The great fssure which had opened

what the party from the Aurora had
failed to do after hours of hard labor
it had yielded up the body Of Perry
Hunter, which, during all these
months, It had kept imprisoned.
Strapped across the dead mans
shoulders, Just where he had carried
1t in life, was rifle and around his
middle a belt full Of cartridges.
The next instant Roscoe was bend
ing over the body, Jerking savagely
at the frozen buckles which resisted
his impatient fingers. But they were
not to be denied. II they were clum
sy, the hands were strong.
1t was not flve minutes later when
Roscoe, rife and ammunition belt II
his hands, was hurrylng on toward his
cave once more. The body lay just
where his desecrating hands had left
It.
The rifle was uninjured; that he haC

none Of Cayley's shots could have ac-
counted for, he explored with prac-
tised hand.
Watching him as he did 80, the
girl could see that he had found some
thing unexpected, something which
surprised him greatly And there
was more than surprise. There was
alarmed urgency in his voice when he
spoke to her He offered no explana-
tion. Merely told her to go into the
hut and make fast the solid wooden
shutters over the windows. He would
come in and would tell her what 1t
was all about, In moment.
The girl had hardly finished the
task he had given her, when he came
in. In his blood-stained hand he was
holding out something for her inspec-
tion.
Conquering a feeling Of repugnance,
she bent over the hand, cast one
glance at the thing 1t contained and
then started up and gazed. wide-eyed,
into his face.
"A bullet!" she said. "But-but we
thought that Roscoe wasn't armed
not with fire arms, mean"
Cayley nodded. But this seems to
be pretty good evidence that he is.
