With the Envoys

Peace was to be the object Of it could,
by any honorable means, be brought
about. But war was the alternative
which the hardy mountaineers did not
hesitate to offer to the most warlike
and powerful prince in Europe.
The delegation of Switzers was to as
semble at Geierstein and take their de-
parture from there. They were to have
an escort composed OF a picked COM
pany of young men. of whom Rudolph
of Donnerhugel was to be the leader
All central Europe being at that time
in a disturbed state such an escort was
necessary.
Arnold proposed to Philipson that he
wait tho assembling Of the delegation
and Journey with them to Dijon. His
offer was accepted and in due time tho
embassy for the cantons set out.
With the landerman went his niece,
Ammo. and her attendant Annette.
For, shortly before the party was

lie was, In fact, a distant cousin of the
family, by name Rudolph of Donner-
hugel.
Rurolph was unusually tall, well-pro-
portioned and actives with quantity
of dark brown hair curling around his
face, together with mustachios of a some-
what darker hue.
lie wore small cap set upon one side
of his head and his clothes, while of the
same style as those of the sons of the
landerman, were of much finer texture
and ornamented in a rich and fancifuI
manner.
Rudolph, having delivered to Arnold a
sealed packet. took a seat beside Anne
and paid her an attention which, though
coldly received by the maiden, showed
in what direction the hope of the young
gallant lay.
Arthur and Rudolph took a dislike to
each other at once-they felt instinc-
lively that they were rivals; though in
the young Englishmans brain, at least.
such an idea was, naturally, not formu-
lated. as his acquaintance with Anne
had been matter of only a couple of
hours.
This feeling between the two young
men resulted that evening In a quarrel
over some trifling matter, and they
agreed to meet at daybreak in the court
yard of the ruined castle.

New York, Jan. 25.-Windows

arrested last night in the first riot

A band of strikers, headed by

RESPONSIBILITY.

We ask the question often why
our college graduates do not take
Il more active part in some form
Of social service so splendidly
organized by the modern city
church. Some may answer this
question by insisting that it is
due to Il certain lack in their col
legee training: that the attention
of the undergraduate has not
been sufficiently directed to the
responsibilities of life and to the
duties he must assume when he
leaves his college pursuits be-
hind him. Others there may be
who would say that the difficulty
is with the church; that its
claims are not sufficiently strong
nor sufficiently urgent to com
mand the allegiance of our young
graduates us they enter upon
their life work There may be
some truth in each of these
criticisms. Both college and
church may be partly ut fault
There is. however. Il natural tend
ency due to the combined fac
tors Of hanan nature on the one
hand and its environment on the
other which should be definitely
recognized in order that it may

A Business Forecast


Some Is years ago p. A. Valentine
who was associated with one of the lead
ing packing industries of the United States
and was also a director of one of the
very large banks in New York city, Wis
tied Argentina for the purpose of getting
good information respecting the business
feasibility of securing large cattle ranches
in that country The completion of the
Argentine transcontinental railroad had
solved the problem of quick and fairly
economical transportation from the great
ranches of mid-Argentna to tidewater.
Mr. Valentine foresaw, as almost every
one who was 10 years ago engaged in
the meat product industry did, that the
time was near at hand when much the
larger part of the great cattle feeding
grounds of the southwest and the remoter
west would be taken up by farmers.
These men of the beef industry also made
good the deficiencies between demand and
supply.
Today the company with which Mr.. Val
entine is associated is exporting from
Argentina nearly one-half of the beef
sent from that country to other parts of
the world and probably will speedily be
found importing large amounts of chilled
beef from Argentina to the United States.
Other Capital There
Inc venture made by the capital which
Mr. Valentine represents speedily Tempt
ed other American capital in large
amounts to investment in ranches and the
beef cattle industry in South America.
The recent increase in the price asked for
cattle ranches in the little republic of
Paraguay tells a story of the investment
of capital in South America in the beef
industry. The appreciation of the price
of cattle lands within single year in
Paraguay has been phenomenal. About
a year ago the highest price paid for
land in Paraguay, which was TO be util-
lied as cattle raising was $4,000 gold per
league. A few weeks ago similar land
fetched in Paraguay from SIS, 900 to $40 00O
per league. The Paraguay ranges are COW
cred with as good grass for cattle feed
Ing as is to be found anywhere in the
world A year ago steers ready for the
market could be bought in Paraguay
for from $12 to $14 per head. Today none
can be bought in the republic for less than
S22 per head. Much of the increase in
these figures from the prices that were
maintained year ago is due to the COM
ing of American capital in large amounts
into Paraguay.
Developments In Other Republics
Paraguay, however, is not the only coun-
try which within very short time has
seen large developments in the cattle rais-
ing industry in South America Some of
the great capitalists of Chicago who are
prominently identified with the beef in
terests are now buying great cattle ranges
