CHAPTER xiii.
Aleck Sees a Ghost.

Little Simon drove leisurely up the
long. rugged hill over which Agatha
and James had SO recently Travelled,
and drew rein in the shade at dis
lance Of a long city block from his
destination. He pointed with his whip
while he addressed Aleck. his sole
passenger.
"Yonder's the old red house. mister.
The parson, he hated to have his trees
gnawed, and Major here's great
horse for gnawing the bark offer trees.
So l never go no nearer the house
than this"
"All right, Simon; you wait for me
here"
Aleck walked slowly along the coun-
try road, enjoying the fragrant fields,
the quiet beauty OF the place. 1t was
still early in the day, for he had lost
no time in following the clues gath
cred from the village as to the sur
vivors Of the Jeanne dare. The aiz

HISTORIC old TOWN
AIkmaar, Holland, Has Many In
teresting Features.
Quaint Dutch City Of 10000 Il Typicaf
Of the country-scene Of Resist
ance to Spanish Siege
Of 1873.

Alkmaar. Holland.-The town itself
Is one that must abide ia the memory
ST everyone who sees 1t for the first
time. Its most important church IL
the Groote Kerk Of ST. Lawrence.
which contains among other things
the ancient tomb of Floris ", Count
Of Holland, who died in 1895. The tow
er of the Stadhuis dates from 1907.
It contains a library and municipal
museum, furnished with several not
able pictures. But the old Weigh
house, after all, remains to us the
most interesting Of the buildings In
the town. Not least Of its charms is
the prospect from the top. From It
our artist was able to secure a very
striking picture of the view as seen
from that eminent position. There
could not be anything more typical ~
Holland. First Of all there is the
canal, the national waterway, winding
sluggishly through the town and divfd-
ing 1t in two. There are the canal
boats. the wagons Of this aqueous
highway, placidly pursuing their jour-
ney or waiting by the wharves to be
laden or unladen. Most Of all there
are the Dutch houses, or rather the
characteristic roofs of them-the view
that they would present to the stars.
The town is just of the right size to
be brought within this focus. It num-
bers about 10000 inhabitants, the ma
jority Of whom are connected directly
or indirectly with agriculture. But the
place has its historical records also.
1t appeals to the historian as the
scene Of a splendid resistance to the
Spanish siege in 1573-the period Of
the Dutch struggle for independence.
The buildings, to which we have al
ready made allusion, carry us back to
that sixteenth century, which was IA
nous there as in England for the
artistic beauty and sense Of proper
ton brought to bear upon the work OF
building. Houses of this period are
fine all the world over, and not least
in Holland.
The Dutch cheese trade is an old in
dustry in one way, but its great de-
velopment is modern In character. Til
only comparatively recent period the
dairy herds in this country were neg
lected. The only requirement ap-
piled to the cow was that she should
give very large quantity of milk. It

Alexis heart would have been
stone had he resisted this all but pas
sionate plea.
"You have been faithfulness itself,
1 am sure. But do you think Miss Red
mond would see me. at least for a few
minutes?"
Sallie recovered her dignity, which
had been near collapse in tears, and
assumed her official tone. II don't
know as you can. and don't know as
you can. She's sick. too; fell over
board somehow or other, offer one of
those pesky boats. and get neuralagy
and l don't know what ALL But I'll

"Stay, wait minute" said Aleck,
seized with new thought. I'll write
a message to Miss Redmond and then
she'll know just what want. II you'll
be so good as to take it to her"
why, certainly. Of course I will"
said Sallie Kingsbury. only you
needn't take all that trouble. 1 can
tell her what you want myself"
Sallie was one Of those persons who
regard the pen as the weapon Of last
resort, not to be used until necessity
compels. But Aleck continued writing
on a blank leaf of his notebook. The
message was this:
Can you give me any Information
concerning my cousin. James Handle
ton. who was thought to be aboard the
Jeanne D'Arc"

 What came near being a fatal accident yesterday afternoon happened at the home of Rev and Mrs. H W. Steen. A num- Der of little fellows were there playing hide and seek when their youngest son, Master Forest, age five, in his eagerness to hide, crawled into box in the yard In the box was piece of glass. The little fellow placed his right hand in the box right on the peice of glass and when he bore the weight of his body on the arm the glass severed the artery. Forest came out of the box ana ran to Edwin Steen, an eleven-year old brother, scream ing. Edwin immediately saw that the little brother had sever ed an artery and that there was danger of bleeding to death. He gripped the injured member around the wrist and led the lit tie fellow to his father, who held the severed artery until medical assistance could be secured. Quite little difficulty was had in gathering the artery On ac- count of the rough cut made by the glass, and it was necessary to chloroform the injured one be- fore it could be accomplished. It was finally tied together and the little fellow is doing nicely today. Master Edwin Steen cer- talnly deserves great praise for his thoughtfulness, knowledge and quick action, wich no doubt saved his brothers life.

last week charged with trying to
accomplish the ruin of young

not possessed with such an insti-
tute and the last legislature made
no provision to send such CHI" ) as

however, that he will likeb .sedgiv-

feat of strength was performed at
the Western Pacific's EIko shops
recently. While a machinest Mr.
Kellar was working under the pom
derous main driving rod Of an en-
gine he did not observe that all
was not safe. George L. Ferrick
walking by the engine saw that
the driving rod was beginning to
slip. Quick as a fash he yelled to
McKellar to escape and seized the
rod with both hands and held il ill
Mcclellan had crawled from be-
meath. As this driving rod weigh
ed $40 pounds the strain on Fer
rick was terrific. When he released
is hold on the rod blood was
streaming from his nose. After an
examination by the Company SUI
geon it was found that Ferrick had
two fractured ribs. This heroic
deed saved McKellar from being
cut in two McKellar formerly
resided in Winnemucca where he
