CHAPTER XIII.

ESTERMENS DEATH WARRANT.
In the untidy salon of his bachelor
apartments in the Boulevard Maupas-
SAINT Estermen awaited the coming Of
his master in veritable fear and trem-
bling In all his experience he had
never been compelled to face a crisis
such as this. There had been small
failures, punished, perhaps. by a sar-
castle word or biting sentence. There
had been no failure to compare with
this one. Herr Freudenberg deliberate
ly, and of his own free choice was
accustomed to take huge risks. When
they came he accepted them, but when
they were not inevitable he as sedul-
ously avoided them. The wrecking of
Julien's apartments in the Rue de
Montpelier was by far the most haz-
ardous enterprise which had been at
tempted since the days of the toy
makers first secret visits to Paris
Half a dozen human beings had been
done TO death in a manner wrich in
vited and even challenged the atten-
tiOns of the French police. A terrible
risk had been run and run in vain. The
blow had been struck at the very mo
ment when its object was unattain-
able. Estermen shivered as he tried
to imagine for himself the coming in
Of pleasant luxury among the flesh
pots ard easy ways of Paris; his bach
elor apartments, occupied in name by
him, but Of which the real tenant was
his dreaded master. And behind all
this apprehension lurl0ed another grisly
and terrible fear. For the goth time
during the last few minutes he peered
through the closely drawn Venetian
blind, and his blood ran cold. On the
pavement opposite, before the small
table Of a cafe, a man was sitting
the same man! For two days he had
been there-a gaunt and silent person
with a wonderful trick of gazing away
into space from the columns of his
newspaper. But Estermen knew all
about that He knew. even, the mans
name. He knew that he was one OF
the most persistent and successful Of
French detectives. His name was Jean
Charles and he had never known a
failure. Estermen looked at him
through the blind and his pale face
was ugly with fear.
The moment arrived. The long, gray
travelling car, covered with dust,
swung around the corner and stopped
below. Herr Freldenberg was travel
stained and almost gnizable in
his motor clothes as he stepped out
end passed into the block of apart
ments. Contrary to his usual custom,
he did not at once present himself be-

OLD SOLDIERS GET TENTS
Shelter to Be Provided for Veterans at
the Gettysburg Encampment.

Washington.-The war department
is making plans to care for the feeding
and shelter of the army of veterans,
confederate as well as federal, who
are to attend the encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic on the
battlefield of Gettysburg next July,
when the 50th anniversary of the great
battle will be celebrated
1t is roughly estimated that 10000
veterans must be placed under canvas
and fed next July so that a deal of
work must be done to prepare quar-
ters and secure proper water supply.
The president of the United States,
the governors of states, and other no.
tables who attend the celebration will
be Quartered in the academy buildings
and fraternity houses of the local col
leges, but the bulk of the visitors must
be sheltered in tents. AS the average
of the survivors of the battle will be
about u years next July, this will be
a somewhat hazardous proceeding.

THIS DISC HARROW HAS
A DOUBLE PURPOSE
New Farm Machine Will Be of Great
Benefit to Fruit Growers.

Benefit to Fruit Growers.
Eugene Brown of Colfax has a dou-
BILE purpose disc harrow which gives
promise of being a great boon to the
farmers and orchard owners of the
Inland Empire The harrow is built
so that one end can be attached to the
tree, the team attached to the other
end and the horses walk round and
round the tree, pulverizing the soil to
the hearts desire.
One horse can easily do all the work
necessary. The harrow is equally we'll
suited for field work and many farm
ers who have examined it have ex-
pressed the opinion that it has no SUI
perior on the market as weed killer
and soil pulverizer.
1t is easy of draft, completely con-
trolled by the operator as to depth and
can be operated to throw the soil all
down hill going either way or all up
hill, or part either way as the operator
may desire.
One great advantage of the machine
is that farmer having small orchard
on his place will not be compelled to
buy two harrows to do his work prop
erly. He has only to get the tree at
tachments and he has the field and
orchard cultivator.
AS an orchard machine the great
advantage is in its thorough cultiva-
tion of the soil and that each and every
tree can have all the cultivation that
it needs leaving the ground level. If
desired the discs can be set to throw
the soil away from the tree or towards
the tree. Another advantage is that
the branches of the tree may be left
within two feet of the ground and still
the ground can be thoroughly Guilt
waited.

CONSTANTINOPLE-The signing
of the protocol of the armistice was
signed Tuesday.
1t is said the duration of the armis-
tice has been fixed at eight days, but
that it will be prolonged another seven
days if necessary.
Although the exact terms will not
be known, it is understood they have
been considerably reduced as COM
pared with the original demands of
the league. They provide virtually for
the maintenance of the positions which
the belligerents at present occupy and
for revictualling the beleaguered
towns.
1t is believed the latter point is re-
sponsible for the hesitation on the
part of the Hellenic delegate by rails
ing the blockade with regard to food
stuffs. The question, therefore, has
been referred to Athens for decision.
The armistice provides that fortified
places may be provisioned and that
the siege of Turkish ports and islands
is to be temporarily considered as
raised.

arrived early, buttrere was no sign of

Presently the approach of a train
from Tchatalja was reported. Nazim

Bulgarians could not repair the
bridges, which had been blown up. A
Bulgarian train soon appeared, how
ever, and IA sat down to luncheon. 1t
seemed to be a cordial meeting.
