Slight Effect

The Panama Canal has been given
considerable attention at the discus
sions OF the trans Mississippi Com
mercial Congress and many members
of 1.-THE Congress are of the opinion
that the completion of the big ditch
will effect but slightly the freight
rates in the inter-mountain states
These men think that the railroad
rates will be reduced only for short
radius around the gulf and both sea
boards, and that no effect will be felt
beyond that point.

Its Lesson

The lesson taught by the present
primary law and the primary cleo
ton did more TO put the law in Its
true light than any argument. 1t
showed that it was possible to swing
an election either way by the Dem
Gratis voting the Republican col
umn, or the Republicans trading
The free lance candidate helped
nominate timber that he can run
against, and the expense TO the coun-
ties will make good inroads into the
treasures. There was more chance
for fraud, for buying OF votes. and
with no detection, than at any time
in the history of Nevada politics.
The voice of the people is against the
present primary law and If submit
ted to a vote the system would be
wiped off the statutes. 1t certainly
has created a bad condition of affairs
and the more the Legislature doctors
it the worse it grows, as has been
shown.

yesterday for Calais. If only we had
known he had her with him"
That was all the instructions that
received. How was I to rescue this
helpless lady when her very where
abouts were unknown? I soon reflect
ed, however, that it would be impos-
sible for the prince, travelling with his
retinue, to keep his progress secret
from the police of the countries which
he passed through. Accordingly got
into Geographic communication with
several continental capitals, and soon
ascertained that he had landed at
Calais that morning and taken train
for the German border.
There was only one thing to do; to
stick doggedly upon their trail and
follow them. So long as they were in
Europe I should be powerless; when
they reached the no mans lands of
Asia it would be different. For it was
clear that, in order to avoid the Brit
ish ships of war cruising in the Per-
sian gulf, they would be compelled to
make the overland journey across the
Arabian deserts and through Mes
opotamia.
My first admonition that they knew
I was in pursuit came to me when l
occupied their suite in the hotel at
Belgrade, which they had evacuated

of the dressing table was a hasty
scribble in French:
Help me, monsieur. When once
we have reached the desert l shall be
in his power and forced to marry him.
Mon Dieu! I hate him more each mo-
ment. I shall stab myself to the heart
rather than wed him."
It was not my intention to attack
the prince and his retinue single
handed. I had been busy sending out
Geographic dispatches; detachment
of jackies from the British squadron
was to be placed at my disposal as
soon as they crossed the Dardanelles
and moved upon Damascus. This was
the starting point of the caravan
journey, and we were to come upon
them in a pass of the Taurus range,
between Damascus and the sea.

Put No Limit on Trust.

The late Meredith Townsend had an
affection for Scotsmen as contributors
to the Spectator, of which he was for
so many years proprietor and coed
itor. Mr.. Townsends liking for the
Scots was based on an experience he
had in Leith when boy. He was on
holiday, and had run short OF money
for his return to London. He boldly
boarded London passenger boat, in
timated his desire to the captain to go
south, explained who he was, aud
stated that he was without funde.
Seemingly favorably impressed by the
lads tale and appearance, the cap
tain, Scot, said that would be all
right, and showed him to cabin.
But" said young Townsend, this is
a saloon. AS things are, steerage

MOST LOYAL FRIEND OF MAN
to This InseparabIe and Faith
full Companion.

Where can man find in the animal
kingdom a truer friend, closer COM
panion, a more faithful guardian or
more efficient and Drawer ally than
the dog?
Friendship in life may spring from
many causes, and, under test, vanish
like mist before the sun and wind, but
the friendship of dog can always be
relied upon unless you yourself de-
stroy it.
A dog will not bite the hand that
gives it food and drink.
Can one imagine closer friendship
between animal and man than that ex-
listing between the lonely trapper and
his faithful companion? What COM
pany they are to each other! Years
Of association have made communica-
ton an open book to them, the dog to
the man, the man to the dog. A look,
nod, a gesture, single word, and
with wag of the tail the dog IN
derstands and obeys.
And mindful Of his good friend, the
lone hunter sees to it that he goes not
hungry if there's enough for one, yet
not enough for two.
At the blazing campfire in the early
hours of the night the trees have lis
tened to many a one sided converse
ton between man and dog, and not
one sided either, for with eyes and
wagging tail the dog replied. And
when the master rolled himself in his
blanket and went off to sleep, with his
faithful dog curled up beside him, a
sense of security, absolute, was his.
Let prowler come within seeming
distance of the camp and low growl
told the master to be alert and doing.
With what glee the dog trotted by
it's masters side when the rounds to
traps were made! A rabbit, squirrel,
a hedgehog or a porcupine might en-
tice him off the beaten path, but only
for moment. He had grown old in
the service and understood that such
game was not for such a staid dog
as he.
Then the day comes when the de-
cree Of war has come upon our four
footed friend, for in the tussle with
old bruin it has been MANNED to the
death. With what care does the mas
ter lave and bind the wounds and how
lovingly he beds and shelters his old
companion. Nothing is neglected to
make him comfortable and bring him
back to strength and health. But it is
no use. The old dog, refusing to eat,
grows 1ank and wan, until, when too
weak to raise it's head, it can only look
and feebly tap the ground with it's
grateful tail. And then comes the
saddest duty of his life, to open the
ground and hide away the last of
dog that was to him everything that
man or woman might have been, but
was not A dog that never lied to
him, that was always kind and will
ing, ever mindful of his master and
faithful and loyal even unto death.

Knowles, his majesty's secretary, was

fussy manner, but sudden summons
from his majesty sent him hurry1ng
out. When he returned he brought
the king with him. He greeted me
cordially.

whom I spoke. ''Rakkim Khan's got
her!"
Thereupon I had to explain the
events of the preceding evening. The
king was very grave when had con-
cluded my story.
IF Rakkim Khan gets back to Belu-
chfstan,' he said, she will lease sea-
port to Germany in return for her pro-
lection, and so give her foothold
upon the Persian gulf littoral in re-
yenge for our refusal to countenance
his usurpation. You must follow them
up at once and find means to set the
princess free. Once freed, take her to
Peshawur, upon the Beluchi border,
where a regiment of British troops
will be placed at your disposal to re-
store her to the throne. We cannot
let Beluchistan fall into the princes
hands. But so long as the princess is
in his power he holds her as a hostage,
and all our efforts will be fruitless.
