so your sister doesn't like me,
Tom-that's on your mind this morn
ing, is it," Murrell was saying.
Make it worth my while and I'll
take her off your hands," and Muir
rell laughed.
Tom favored him with suilel
stare.
There was a brief silence, during
which Murrell studied his friend S
face. When he spoke, 1t was to give
the conversation a new direction.

night? | saw you drive off with him

Yes, she makes regular pet OF

Plain?" inquired Murrell
THAT notion hasn't struck her yet,

she'd take him to Raleigh this after
noon"
That's the boy l travelled all the
way to North Carolina to get for
Fentress."
"Eh-you don't say?" cried Ware.
Tom, what do you know about the
Qu1ntard lands; what do you know
about Quintard himself?" continued
Murrell.
He was rich planter; lived in
North Carolina. NV father met him
when he was in congress and got him
to invest in land here. They had
some colonization scheme on foot
this was upward of twenty years ago
but nothing came OF it. Quintard
lost interest"
And the land?"
"Oh, he held on to that"
"Quintard has been dead two years,
Tom, and back yonder in North Caro-
lima they told me he left nothing but
the home plantation. The boy lived
there up to the time OF Quintard' S
the old man no one knew. Offhand,
Tom, I'd say that by getting hold OF
the boy Fentress expects to get hold
of the Qu1ntard land
That's likely" said Ware; then
struck by a sudden idea, he added.
Are you going to take all the risks
and let him pocket the cash? Ii it's
the land he's after, the stakes big
enough to divide"
He can have the whole thing and
welcome. I'm playing for a bigger
stake" His friend stared at him In
establishment I'm licking a specuIa-
ton into shape that will cause me to
be remembered while there's white
man alive in the Mississippi Valley!
Have you heard what the niggers did
at Hayti?'
You let the niggers alone; don't
you tamper with Them" said Ware.
He possessed a profound belief in
Murrell's capacity.
Look here, what do you think |
have been working for-to steal a
few niggers? That furnishes us with
money. but you can push the trade
too hard and too far The planters
are uneasy. The Clans got to deal q
counter blow or go out of business.
Between here and the gulf" he
made a wide sweeping gesture with
his arm. Il am spotting the country
with my men; there are two thousand
active workers on the rolls OF the
Clan, and as many more like you.

Shrewd Client Paid Fee in Advance to
Learn If He Had Reasonable

It was told at luncheon at the Law
yers' club the day before the Equit-
able building burned down. A group
of legal luminaries were gathered
about q table discussing the apparent
impossibility of fnsuring the honesty
Of any man, and 1t was contended that
there was no remedy for 1t save to
pick out your man and trust him abb
solutely. No matter what safeguards
you might hedge him about with, ii

to cheat somehow One of the law

has agreed to deliver a series Of lee
lures in Kansas and Colorado, and
various points east. He declared he
would not be a candidate for head OF
the proposed federal health depart
ment for which he announced he was
going to work, that he had had all the
federal positions he cared to fill. Pres
hent TAFT today sent kilograms
broadcast to heads of universities and
colleges throughout the country ask
ing them to recommend q successor
to Mr.. Wiley. The president said he
hoped In this way to get q concen-
sus of opinion as to the best and most
available chemist.
Wiley's resignation came as a dra.
matte climax to long conference he
had with Wilson, at the latter's pri.
vate office today. The secretary
would make no statement of the case
other than that Wiley had handed in
his resignation. No reasons were
given, he said, nor did Wiley outline
his plans for the future.
Despite the fact that rumors have
been current several weeks, that the
governments pure food expert was
about to leave the service, the &C.
tual news of his resignation came as
a big surprise to the officials at
Washington.
The latest report was that Wiley
would lay down the important work
he had been doing for the depart.
ment Of agriculture to become asso-
ciate editor Of a house keeping mag
azine. He had received many flatter.
ing offers from interests in other
lines Of business.
1t is known that Wiley for long
time has been unhappy in his connec-
ton with the department of agricul.
ture. He has claimed he has been
hampered in the administration Of
his office, and harrassed by other of.
ficials. The recent Wiley-Wilson
McCabe controversy was but the out
cropping of friction that had long ex-
listed. The house committee that re.
Gently investigated the affairs of the
department complimented Wiley in !
the highest terms and scored his
enemies" in the department.. Wiley
entered the service of the govern
ment as chief chemist in 1888, serv-
Ing in that capacity continuously un.
til now. Because of alleged technical
Irregularities In the employment DR..
H. H. Rushby, the New York consult
Ing chemist, Wiley sometime ago was
recommended for dismissal by Secre,,
tary Wilson and Attorney General
~
Taft set these recommendations
aside. One rumor was that Wiley
would enter political life, and become !
a candidate for vice president on the
democratic ticket, but Wiley denied
this with laugh. Secretary Wilson
today declared the relations between
him and Wiley had always leen
pleasant personally, while WileJ as.

lPAL AUDITORIUM THIS
j*'YEERr"". 49,
Residents Of State Capital are Watch
ing Development in Other Cities
With Great Deal Of Interest.

Residents of the capital city are mo-
the only ones who are attempting tt
solve municipal questions. it is in
teresting to note that Fargo is alst
considering the erection Of a munic
ipal auditorium. Bismarck people
are interested in the mass meeting
which has been called by the presi
dent of the Fargo commercial club
and the same reasons that he cites
for the need of an auditorium are ap
plicable to the capital city. In his
call, as mentioned In the Fargo pa
pers, he emphasizes the fact that
there may be differences Of opinion
as to the size of the building-the
best method of going about the prop.
Osition-the easiest way to raise the
funds-but all will agree that the
city needs an auditoriunl-and at
once. There have been so nany re.
cent evidences of the imperative me-
cessity Of a larger pl,ce for public
meetings and entertainments that ev.
cry man and woman in the city toD.
cedes Fargo should have one.
AT this meeting Friday night 1t Is
hoped that somehow some definite
plan can be agreed upon and active
work started. There are great
many conventions and other attrac-
lions that could be secured-if Fargo
had the proper accommodations"
Bismarck is in the same boat and
now that the voters have signified
their desire for an auditorium, they
are trusting that the commission
will erect the best possible building
for the money, and that Bismarck
will be able to land even more con-
ventions that It has in the past.
