NO" she said. She offered no ex-
PLANTATION. no excuse; merely stated
the fact in all its finality.
Then you won't leave us?" Carson
asked. Were going on as we were
before?' The hint of detection in his
manner had vanished. And you won't
live with him?"
Live with him?" Mary exclaimed
emphatically. Certainly not!'
Carson was still patient in his de-
termination to apprehend just what
had come to pass.
Does he understand the arrange
ment?" was his question.
mo, not yet" Mary admitted, with
out sign of embarrassment.
Carson was intently considering an
other phase Of the situation, one sug-
gested perhaps out Of his own deeper
sentiments.
He must think a lot Of you," he
said gravely. Don't he?"
II suppose so."
Carson spoke very softly, but with
an intensity that left no doubt as to
the honesty Of his purpose.
I'D say throw up the whole game
and go to him. If you really care"
There fell a tense silence. 1t was
broken by Mary.
IT married him to get even with his
father" she said That's al there IL

be here in a minute or two. When he
comes just remember not to-enlight-

Mr.. Glider" Fannie announced.
Anyone with him?"
mo, Miss Turner" the maid an
swered.
Have him come in" Mary ordered.
Carson made hasty excuses and
went out on the heels Of the maid. Ag-
gle, however, consulting her own
wishes in the matter had no thought
of fight, and, if the truth be told, Mary
was glad Of the sustaining presence of
another woman. She got up slowly
and stood silent, while Aggie regarded
her curiously. A moment later the
bridegroom entered. He was still clean
cut and wholesome. Some sons OF
wealthy fathers are not after four
years experience Of the white lights
of town. And the lines Of his face
were firmer, better in every way. 1t
seemed indeed, that here was some
one of a resolute character. not to be
wasted on the trivial and gross things.
He caught Mary in his arms with
Hello, dear!" smothered in the kiss
he implanted on her lips.
Mary strove vainly to free herself.
Don't. oh, DON'T" she gasped.
Dick released his wife and smiled
the beatific smile of the newly wed.
why not?" he demanded, with a
smile.
Agnes" 1t was the sole pretext to
which Mary could turn for momen-
tary relief.
The bridegroom faced about and
perceived Agnes. He made formal
bow and spoke quietly.
II beg your pardon. Miss Lynch

shone on his face-"you could hardly
expect me to see anyone but Mary
under the circumstances. We were

A New Explosivs.-Trotol is the
name given new explosive for which
1t is claimed that It is the safest high
explosive known. It's formula was
worked out by Lieut.. Harold c.
woodward, an officer in the New
York national guard. He proposes.
as reported, to present his discovery
without reward to the United States
government The following account
Of Lieut.. woodward's invention Is
from the columns OF the New York
Sun: &5 jsstf
Three years ago brother (of Lieut..
WOODWARD came across an old vol
ume that had been presented to Ger
man officials at the time OF the
Franco-Pruss war. In the book
were two thousand formulas for
high explosives, mainly anonymous.
The Germans had simply shelved the
book, perhaps discouraged by the
number Of receipts and the impossi-
bility Of testing them all.
woodward tried five formulas at
random, and found them all either
worthless or inferior to explosives now
in use. He tried a sixth at random
and found It extraordinarily safe and
good, but rather weak as compared
with the best dynamite. But from 1t
he developed trotol.
Trotol can be exploded only by
illuminate of mercury, the substance
used to explode dynamite. 1t can
not be set OF by any shock, however
great. In test at Fort Wadsworth,
trotol was packed into twelve-inch
shell and the shell was fired at ar
NOR plate one thousand yards away.
The shell struck the armor plate
while going at a rate Of also feet
second, but the trotol inside remain
ed unexploded in spite Of the terrific
conclusion.
Six ounces Of trotol. 1t is said, will
do the work Of twelve ounces OF dy-
Mantle. Dynamite deteriorates In
water or on the water and under
certain atmospheric conditions. Trot-
oil can be soaked in water for years
and be as good as ever. 1t looks like
wet brown sugar. and Is made up IN
sticks like dynamite. Trotol can be
carried wet or dry and the illuminate
Of mercury, which must be kept
yards away from dynamite lest a
premature explosion result. may come
as close as six inches to trotol with
out danger. Like dynamite. trotoi
can be exploded by ignition.

FIGHT IN A RAsslr
Naturalist Tells Story that Will Find
MANY Doubters.


Many Doubtsrs.
The strange fear that seems to par
alyze rabbit when 1t is attacked by
any Of the weasel tribe has often been
observed. Apparently 1t cannot make
the slightest effort at defense, and sub
mits to the fatal bite without sign Of
resistance. That there are exception
al rabbits, however, appears from an
incident that Mr.. F. st. Mars once saw
He thus describes It:
Something was creeping very quiet
ly through the grass. You could tell
this only by the waving of the blades.
About twenty yards away, out in the
field. a rabbit squatted in the AFTER
noon sunshine--a hunched, fat. COM
Portable looking little gray-brown fig-
ure He had been there for half an
hour, quite motiohiess.
The hidden creature In the long
grass was slowly and surely stalking
the rabbit. At length the waving grass
stems ceased to move. The stalker had
got to within two yards of the rabbit,
and was about to make It's rush. The
long grass ceased here, and beyond the
stalker had no cover. s.fss
Then. all Of sudden, the rabbit re-
versed its position. 1t did It so quickly
and quietly that I scarcely saw It.
Moreover. although the rabbit still
sat as motionless az before, his nose
was constantly working" and that
meant that he was smelling hard. The
hidden foe had made the blunder Of
approaching the rabbit down wind. ~
Since there was no longer any need
Of concealment the, enemy stood up
and came forth-a beady-eyed and
sinister male stoat He was really a
pretty little chap. neat and spruce as
a dandy. looking anything but the pro-
fessional slayer that he was.
He stood looking at the rabbit for e
few moments. his keen head well up
poised on his long. snal<y neck.
|, Then he made his rush. It was quite
slow-a leisurely. sidelong gallop. No
creature would have any difiicuity In
avoiding 1t.
When the stoat was within about
two inches of the rabbit he stopped
short and then, very quickly. darted
round behind bunny. This IL the reg
ular stoat manoeuver-to dart round to
the side Of the prey and, sleaping on to
the back OF the neck, to deliver that
single terrible bite Of al the weasal
tribe at the soft cartilage at the base
OF the brain. 81 s5 -
The next instant the stoat was lying
on his back. with all the wind knock

Commissioner Of Corporations
Conant Submits Annual
Report to President.
SELL TIMBER; KEEP LAND
Additional Revenues Would Pour Into
Treasury by Plan, Assuring Govern
ment Full Stumpage Value.

A plea for the retention of the IN
tegrity Of ,he national forests of the
United States and a suggestion that the
government retain the fee to other pup
lie forest lands in its possession, AT least
until the timber is removed, was Intde
last night in a letter written my COM
missioner of Corporations Luther Conant'
jr.. to President TAFT. which accompanied
part one of the Commissioner report
on the lumber industry.
1t seems clear, said the CommlsSioh-
er, that the fundamental principe u"
be followed in the sale of the timber
itself should be to insure the puphc
treasury the full stumpage value OF thS
land at the time the timber shal ne

It was suggested. could then be either
reforested or sold. according 10 'he
Judgment OF the government.
Mr. Conant stated that the inVestga-
ton of the bureau had covered about
50 per cent OF the privately owned umoer
of the country and that IN this area II
was found that three holders owned IA
per cent of the timber land; ninety, two
ffths, and 195 nearly half.
Due to Land Policy.
This concentration of timber ownership
il was stated. was palpably due 10 the
land policy of the Federal government,
especially the great Federal land grants
to railroads and the faulty operation of
some OF the general land laws. Under
these conditions says the latter. concen-
tratiOn OF timber ownership constantly
tended TO increase.
Mr. Conant continued: The national
forest policy lnaugurated in the nInetlcs.
and now in successful operation. marked
a fundamental change IN the Ideas when
had formerly prevailed as to the handIlng
Of public timber lands. The basic prln-
ciple OF this policy Is the retention OF
the fee title To the land and the sale
from time to time of the timber only,
with a view to the wISest use or the
supply and 10 its proper conservation.
BY TINS policy the government Is able TO
secure for the public the ruil market
value Of this timber at the time or cut
ting. and At the same time to retain the
land itself tor reforestauon or tor sucn
other use or disposition as may later
seem advisable.
The facts set forth clearly point TO
the desirability of maintaining the IN

extending 10 other PUBLICLY owned TIM
