CHAPTER XIX.
BY Wireless.


They paused in the office, the three
of them, and while Miss Thorne was
giving some instructions as to her
baggage the prince went over to the
telegraph booth and began to write a
message on blank. Mr.. Grimm ap-
peared at his elbow.

demanded the prince sharply.

may you speak to any one" Mr..
Grimm informed him quietly.

prince.
1T depends altogether on the view
point, your Highness," said Mr..
Grimm courteously. IF you will par

needless to attract attention by your
present attitude. You may-I say you
may-compel me to humiliate you.
The prince glared at him angrily. II

gratuitously.
"Handcuff me?"
Il shouldn't hesitate, your Highness,
II 1t was necessary"
After a moment Miss Thorne signi.
fed her readiness, and they started
out. At the door Mr. Grimm stopped
and turned back to the desk, as If
struck by some sudden thought, leav-
ing them together.
IoFf for

the clerk. She's decided it is I'M
necessary" He turned and glanced
toward her, and the clerks eyes fol-
lowed his. please give it to me-"
1t was passed over without com
ment. 1t was a sealed envelope ad-
dressed to Mr.. Charles Winthrop Ran
kin. Mr.. Grimm glanced at the su-
prescription, tore the envelope into
bits and dropped 1t into basket. A
minute later he was assisting Miss
Thorne and the prince into an auto
mobile that was waiting in front. AS
the car moved away two other auto
mobiles appeared from corners near
by and trailed along behind to the
station. There a private compart.
ment-car was in readiness for them.
1t was a long, dreary ride-a ride
of utter silence save for the roar and
clatter of the moving train. Mr..
Grimm, vigilant. implacable, sat at
ease; Miss Thorne, resigned to the
inevitable, whatever it might be,
studied the calm, quiet face from be-
meath dropping lids; and the prince,
Bullen, scowling, nervously wriggled in
his seat. Philadelphia WIS passed,
and Trenton. and then the dawn be-
gan to, break through the night. 1t

Destructive Volcano.

Mount Taal, the volcano in thd
Philippines whose eruptions caused a
tidal wave that destroyed five towns
and carried death to not less than
300 people, rises from the middle OF
Lake Taal, body of water about fif.

thirty-four miles from the city Of Ma
Mia. Tails height is 1,O5O feet and
It's crater is 1850 feet in diameter.
It's last severe outbreak was in March,

BUILDING GOOD
SUMMER COMPOST
Rather Hard Job and Requires
Much Tine-aeap Should be
Made Under Shelter to
Prevent Washing.
CBy r. C. wEATHERsToNE3


Composing is rather hard job
and requires a great deal of time. The
compost heap should be made square
and with perpendicular sides, four or
five feet high and as nearly fiat on top
as possible. The leaves may be COM
posted with stable manure thoroughly
mixed. Hen manure. COW manure and
some lime will do no harm.
If the heaps are made now the com
post will be ready for use early next
spring. 1t requires long time for
leaves to become thoroughly CON-
posted
The compost heap should be made
under shelter else the rains will wash
away much Of the valuable liquid
The compost heap can receive nearly
everything -slops from the Kitchen.

vided it is cut up fine). Great care
must be taken, however, that the vines
of vegetables which have been dis,
eased should not get into the heap
as they will infect the entire compost
and do much harm.
The pile must be forked frequently
and kept damp enough to aid in the
rotting process.
To thoroughly compost eight or ten
tons of leaves will require many
months and the matter should be
placed in at least four or five heaps
to facilitate the forking and handling.
These heaps may be made in the
