invitation. AS he leaped to the
ground and began running awaT Paul
cut the traces and selected the bet

From it he removed the harness; he
sprang on the animals bare back and
drew it out from the wreckage Of the
equipment just as the Baroness awoke
from her nap.

Her remarks ended in a shrill
scream as she grasped the situation.
But Paul was already cantering away
through the darkness in the direction
of Freiburg. At ten o'clock, and with
out further incident, he rode into the
military cantonment and demanded
immediate audience with the COM
mander.
A display of the order. a hurried ex-
PLANTATION and Colonel Heller proved
equal to the emergency.

The return ride seemed endless, the
road deserted save for an occasional
wayfarer or a belated automobile, ap-
peared to stretch itself out eternally.

said the princess.
It was less than an hour after PauPs
instaIlment in the castle when the
princess bell rang. and, passing
through the swing door, he emerged
upon a magnificent hall OF marble,
with richly carpeted grand stairway
descending toward the splendid en-
trance way and state banqueting
rooms on the ground floor. At the
head of the stairway, in the wide hall,
was the emperors suite, and at the
door stood the princess. When Paul
came up to her she clasped his hands
warmly.
"Henceforward you are groom 10
longer" she said, with a rather anx-
ious smile. "Come in, Monsieur Paul.
My uncle is in a good condition now,
and understands something Of the
plot against him. Two of his gem
tlemen are here, also. Come in"

been cut; we have no loyal regiment

Monsieur. You know the way ~
Five minutes later, accompanied by
Won Arnim, Paul was threading a by
way through the forest which emerg-
ed upon an unfrequented road in a
suburban district upon the way to
Freiburg. At this point the great wall
which surrounded the castle was
broken by swift stream, fringed with
thick reeds and underground. Won
Arnim pressed Pauls hand.
"Once safe beyond the river" he
said, "you will come upon the Fret
burg road Horses and automobiles
pass continually. Pleave the rest to
you. Watch for the sentries! Good
luck!" He pressed his hand and was
gone.
Paul crouched among the reeds, en-
tered the stream noiselessly, and
struck out toward the opposite shore.
Five minutes later, under cover of twi-
light, he had passed the besieging out
posts and gained the Freiburg road.
He waited, dripping with water, shiv-
ering in the cool of the evening. Pres
entity slowly trotting pair of horses
came along, drawing barouche in
which stout elderly lady was seat
ed. On the box was an apoplectic
coachman. Paul drew a pistol from
his pocket, walked up, and extended
his hand. The man reined in.

commanded. 'SThis is the carriage of

you want?"

foliage of the accomplishing trees. paul
drew rein; helwas trying to locate the
position of the stream which he had
formed; he was uncertain, too, wheth-
er he should turn his horse loose or
ride boldly through the besiegers.
Upon his meditation fell the sharp
challenge of sentry.
Halt! Who goes there?'
1.-THE man sprang up almost from
beneath his feet. Paul had presence
of mind to reply:
Captain Won Houzrath!"
But you must give the countersign,
sir" the man protested, his bayonet
lowered indecisively. Paul mumbled
something and spurred his horse.
leaped past the soldier, saw the gate
open, and galloped madly along the
drive and into the main entrance of
the castle. He heard shots fired be-
hind him; then followed silence. No
one was in pursuit of him. Doubtless
the besiegers felt sure enough Of
their prey.
But in that hasty flight Paul had
noticed that there was an ominous
hustle and stir in the camp.
At the gate of the castle two Of
the officers, to whom Paul had been
introduced, came running forward.
When they saw who their visitor was,
they clasped his hands eagerly.
"They attack at mornings" one of
them exclaimed. "Stepan has be-
come alarmed, and will postpone it no
longer. The servants have deserted
us-this piece of news came from a
loyal stable boy. Come with US

the stairway, and Paul saw, to his as
constituent, dim figures moving here
and there, pulling great trunks Of
trees across the entrance to the main
corridor, while Clothilde directed
them. AS Paul and the officers ap-
preached all ceased their labors for
moment, and the princess uttered a
| little cry of joy which set Paul's heart
beating wildly. The barrier was al
ready four feet high. The three
climbed over, and took their stations
among the defenders.
What time does the loyal regiment
arrlve?D asked Captain Won Thurn;
and the rest gathered round Paul In
wistful expectation.

They will be ready to attack in
half an hour" said Paul. I'VE must
hold the stairway for two hours and

No more was said, but they contin-
ued to work feverishly upon the de-
fences.
Outside it was growing light. The
trees showed green against the wide
windows, and birds were singing.
Presently a tramping. mingled with
distant cries, was heard In the court

Team With Load of Dyna-
mite Runs Away -
Great Rush of People to Get
out of the Way of On
coming Team.

The people along west Bayfield,
street were given a pretty bad scare
on Monday afternoon when team
owned by Frank Cabe and driven by
John Flonness, loaded with a half
ton of dynamite for the Thompson &
Fleith Lumber Company, made a
wild dash down Bayfield, street.
Flonness had been up and loaded
his wagon with the dynamite and
started down the street. When he
got to the corner of Bayfield, street
and Washington avenue he got off
the rig and went into the Holte
saloon. 1t was while he was in the
saloon that the horses became fright
ened and made the wild run down
the street. People who saw the
team start off made an attempt to
stop them but as soon as they
learned that The wagon contained
enough dynamite to wreck the entire
business section of the city there was
a scramble to get out of the road.
The team ran down the street to
the corner of 5th avenue where they
were finally stopped by Geo. Giant.
Quite a number of teams were
lined up along the street as the
wagon loaded with dynamite CAME
along and people who stood and
watched the dynamite dropping eff
the wagon as the team ran over tho
crossings they almost held tacir
breath waiting for the explosion to
follow, but luckily it did not occur.
Chief of Police Chauvin cautioned
Flonness not to leave his team alone
in future and he proceeded on his
way to Cornucopia with the load of
dynamite for the Thompson & Fleith
company.

Sentenced to Four Years in
Prison at Waupon
Was Convicted of Manslaugh-
ter in the Third Degree for
Killing Lee Wren.

Thomas Barry, charged with the
murder of Lee Wren, an Iron River
blacksmith, was convicted of man.
slaughter in the third degree by
jury in circuit court in this city last
Friday afternoon after trial lasting
the greater part of four days. The
jury was out little more than four
hours when verdict was reached.
Barry was sentenced to four years
in the states prison at Waupon, this
being the limit for the ofense for
which he was found guilty. Barry is
sixty-three years Of age and in pass
ing sentence upon him Judge Risjord
said that it would be useless for him
to lecture the prisoner upon the
enormity of the crime which he had
committed for it was doubtful if his
remarks would do Barry much good
and sentence was pronounced without
further remarks.
The ofense for which Barry was
found guilty was committed in an
Iron River saloon during the past
summer. Barry and Wren had been
drinking together and during the
evening had indulged in friendly
wrestling match in which Barry was
defeated. Barry evidently was en-
ragged at Wren for his defeat for
without warning he pulled knife
from his pocket a,d plunged it into
the neck of Wren. The victim died
within twenty minutes after the
stabbing.
At the trial Barry set up insanity
as his defense, claiming to have
suffered an operation years ago which
left him irresponsible for his acts. He
was defended by Attorney Fisher of
Bayfield,.

BONES FOUND
PLAY SUSPECTED

Coroner Amos M. Hansen was
called to Pike River on the South
Shore line Wednesday morning to
make an investigation into the prob
able cause of the death of man
whose skeleton was found near there.
From marks on the skull of the man
it would indicate that he had met
death by foul play. The skull bones
were badly nicked up, there being
fifteen separate gashes which plainly
showed on the skull. They looked
as if they might have been caused by
knife wounds, as none pierced through
the skull.
The skeleton was found about
three quarters of mile southwest
of the Section house at Pike River
by Messrs. Peter Bolander and A.
Einsfeld of Chicago who were hunt
ing in that vicinity. The condition
of the bones would indicate that the
man had died sometime between last
fall and this spring. The bones were
scattered about the ground for a
space of about twelve feet. The
bones of the hands and feet were not
found. The skeleton of the man
was about feet inches tall and the
teeth would indicate that he was
about 80 years of age. The UNDER
clothes were cotton fleece and the
pants were ordinary grey woodsmen's
trousers. The shirt was light grey.
No shoes or hat were found. There
was two silver filings in the lower
jaw and three silver filings in the
molar teeth of the upper jaw and two
other silver filings. One of the
front teeth had gold crown. There
were appearances that the man might
have had a moustache. The
remains were buried at Mason.
The coroner is endeavoring to
identify the remains and thorough
investigation will be made if the
identify ear be learned.

At the meeting of the city
council to be held next Tuesday
evening Alderman Henry john
SON willintroduce an ordinance
providing for the shoveling OF
snow from the walks of the city
by the property owners and
providing further that unless the
same is done within a certain
time limit after every snow storm
the work will be done by the city
and charged to the abutting
property.
Mr.. Johnson has talked with
many property owners OF the
city and all seem to, favor the
proposed ordinance and it is like
ly that il will be passed without
much opposition.
Under the, old practice wnere
the work has been done by the
city many of the walks remained
covered with snow for two or
three days after a storm and
people were compelled to break
the road and follow the trail
until such time as the street
crew could get around with the
snow plow. The ordinance to be
introduced by Mr.. Johnson is
much better than the ordinance
proposed a few years ago as it
does away with all fines but in
stead puts the cost of the work
unto the property owner where
it belongs. Mr.. Johnson says
that il the ordinance passes he
will personally see to it that it is
enforced to the letter. He be-
lieves that the city will save con-
siderable by its adoption.
Mr.. Johnson is also figuring
out other means of cutting down
the running expenses of the city
government for he says that
owing to the financial condition
of the city treasury something
m ust be done along that line.
He is proving a valuable member
to the city council.
