CHAPTER XII.
The Green Knight.

The Duchess of Breakwater had
x,ade Dan promise at Osdene the day
he went back to London that he
would take her over to her own place,
Stainer Court, and with her see the
beauty, ruins and traditions of the
place.
When Dan got up well on in the
morning. Ruggles had gone to the
bank Dams thoughts turned from
everything to Lefty Lane. With irri-
tation he put her out of his mind.
There had come up between himself

giles as II the Westerner had been his

his shadow. The simplicity of Dams
life, his deceut bringing up, his i'm

aloofness from the world, made him
naive. but he was not dull. He waited
not like a skepic who would MT
every one into his pigeonholes-on
the contrary, he waited to find every
one as perfect as he knew they must
be. and every time he tried to think OF
Lefty Lane. Poniotowsky troubled him
horribly and seemed to rise before
him, and sardonically look at him

that he would be back late and not to
wait for him, and set out In his own
car for Blankshire. where the duch-
ess was to meet him at Stainer Court
at noon. On his way out he decided
that he had been a fool to discuss Let
~ Lane with the Duchess of Breakwa-
ter, and that 1t had been none of his
business to put her duty before her.
and that he had judged her quickly
and unfairly. He fell in love with the
lovely English country over which his
motor took him. and 1t made him
more affectionate toward the English

CHAPTER XIII.
The Face of Lefty Lane.

AS Dan went through the halls
of the Carlton on his way to
his rooms that same evening, the por-
ter gave him two notes, which Dan
went down into the smoking-room to
read. He tore open the note bearing
the Hotel Savoy on the envelope. and
read: las

night and see me about five o'clock?

Dan looked at the clock; it was aft
er nine, and she would be at the Gale
ty going on with her performance.
The other note, which he opened
more slowly, was from Ruggles. and it
began in just the same way as the
dancers had begun:

Captain Thomas Haines of the steamer Tetlin arrived here from the upper Koyukuk and brings the follow ing interesting information.
 Word reached the Tetlin just before she left the upper Koyukuk on her re- turn trip that Government Surveyor Jackson who was taken up to Hammond river from Fairbanks for the purpose of surveying and establishing the title to supposedly rich frction in the Hoosier association, had finished his work and had found no fraction.

In the course of his address he took up the Wickersham home rule bill, and made some telling points against it. He states that if the bill is passed it will not benefit Alaskans as there are altogether too many restric- tions in it.
 Mr. Harrais departed for Cinema and Fairbanks at noon today on the steamer Tetlin, He will return to this place in about three weeks, on his way to the lower river towns. On his next trip he will travel in his own launch and will address the people at all of the small settlements as well as the large towns.

Arizona Gets Down to Business

Immediately after an organization had been perfected the Arizona sen- ate did, on single day, pass recall amendment to her constitution, reso- lution granting woman suffrage, and she also ratified the income tax amendment of the federal constitu- ton. Not a vote was cast against any one of these propositions. A resolution was also introduced re- questing Congress to submit consti- tutional amendment providing for the direct election of United States sena- tors by the people. This was certain ly a day of activity, and it was in the senate, too, which generally poses as standpat body to restrain an impet- uous house.
 In the other new state, New Mexico, jackpot scandal has sprung up over the election of United States senators, and this must be disposed of before New Mexico will be ready to become progressive also. In due time both states will keep step with California and the far west in general. Arizona will in particular be eager to replace f m her constitution the recall provision that President Taft compelled her to cut out. The President might have known that Arizona would promptly replace it in her constitution, and no one outside the state could gain a hearing in the matter.

From the Columbus, Ga., Ledger.
 Nuscogee county is to go overNheim- irglv for Underwood in the approaching primary, May l. if the unanmity of sen timent and great enthusiasm as expressed at the mass meeting last night counts for Anything.
 The newly organized club, formed for the purpose of boosting the interests Of the able House leader in the presidential campaign, was well officered and it starts out under most favorable auspices That it can, and will accomplish much in the interest of the candidacy of the Ala bamian, not only in Muscogee, but in ad- joining counties, is confidently believed by the Ledger.
 Every voter in the county should have his name enrolled on tive books during the next few days-first on the registra- tion list at the courthouse, and then on the Underwood club book, which can be found at the Pitchford book store, lo3- Broad street.
 All indications point to the fact that Georgia Is to honor the brilliant Ala bama statesman with a great majority in the coming state primary-and why shouldn't she?

Prosperity Hereabouts

Many things are concurring to heighten prosperity in the Birming- ham district. The growing apprccia- tion of Alabama coal has made a more active fuel market this year than usual.
 The pig iron market advances slow ly, but after long period of dullness the advance of 50 cents which has taken place recently is a decidedly helpful gain. There is probability of seeing S11 iron before the middle of next month; and s11 compared with SIC, or even S10.50, which is the price today, will mean great deal to every interest hereabouts.
 A building boom in Birmingham is already in progress. The people here are usually optimistic but they are more so now than usual and never before was there better cause for talk ing bright view of the business situation.

in this state this year if the orchard ist negleets the great duty of spray ing. No tree now days can bear a full crop unless it is sprayed. Profes- sor Williams stands ready not only to explain the various washes needed, but he also will send trained students to make demonstrations where six or more fruit growers desire them.
 The only exception to the spraying process seems to be the boil weevil. It's depredations are hidden in the young boil, and it cannot be treated to a dose of cold poison, the more's the pity.
 The fruit crop of the state can, how ever, be retained at an expense of about 12 cents a tree, and surely the expenditure would be returned in a more desirable, wormless crop.

Congress stands so overwhelmingly com mtted to such tax supplies it's own lesson and significance. The large vote. it Is thought will give the measure great impetus in the Senate and make it prac- tically impossible for the President to veto, even if he cared to do so, wtich may be doubted, for the bill is built to no mean extent along the lines of the corporation tax which he suggested. At all events, with the republican party as represented in the House voting for the bill, two to one, it will be impossible to make a party attack on it." The News and Courier pointed out at the time the bill was announced that Mir Taft would find it difficult to discover grounds upon which to oppose it, in view of the stand which he had taken in the matter of the corporation tax, and the developments have been confrmatory of this prediction

Alabama Coal at Panama

Congress has duty to perform in relation to the passage through the Panama canal of steamers. owned or controlled by transcontinental rail roads, and it has another duty in all fairness to perform by not giving West Virginia coal monopoly at the isthmus.
 The Age Herald asserts that Ala bama coal is the better of the two, and that it can be laid down at Colon or Panama at least one dollar a ton cheaper.
 Colonel Goethals is committed to West Virginia and New River coal only. He does not know what Ala bama coal is. He talks as if but one grade of coal lis suited for use in the tropics" This is mere nonsense. Ala bama coal is several degrees more tropical than West Virginia coal.
 The Age Herald trusts that when the interstate commerce bill comes up the officer in charge at the isthmus will be left free to buy the cheapest and best coal offered. The matter cannot be left to Colonel Goethals, who is full of bias, and perhaps of prejudice, although he has nothing to base prejudice on. He could not tell Alabama coal if he met it coming down the middle of the road Colonel Goethals is good builder of canals, but he is not judge of coal.

Railroad Efficicucy Test

over 5oo,C00 efficiency tests were made in 1911 by the Pennsylvania railroad and the reports, recently made public, show that the employees have d record of 20 | per cent perfect" said a railroad man yesterday. Efficiency tests-at one time called surprise tests-as conducted on the Pennsylvania railroad cover a wide range of subjects, such as conformity to speed regulations, observance of all kinds of signals, leaving or arriving ahead of time ear doors not properly closed and many others of similar na- ture.
 Tests are conducted by division of fcials of the railroad who at unusual times and places check up employees in their work, to see that all rules and reg ulations are obeyed. Failure to observe any of the rules regarding the use of sig naIs is immediately reported, and the of fender is called before the proper official for discipline.
