Things stood so with the prisoner
at the time of his discovery Of the
identity of his jailer and OF his Jail.
The governor at that time was away
on visit to Vienna, looking for a pro
motion, he came back elated and
good humored Ia the prospect of a
change within the year. But the heart
of Francois sank as he thought what
the change might mean to him

him shut up absolutely. It had been
so while the count WAS away. then he
had been i'll, and the lieutenant in

the ordinary treatment of prisoners.
Francois, thinking over these things
on a day. fell with a sudden accent
on the steady push OF his longing tor

get free before the count left. else op

would both be gone forever. And on

'tematic intellectual training. So the
lessons themselves are the result of
this necessity and are published in a

fundamental course, which will be fol-

two lesson leaflets, each containing
from one thousand to fifteen hundred
words and being a complete treatment
in condensed form of~one large topic.
The first lesson considers some fun

In the course only the beginning is
made of what is planned to become a
great popular system of self-education
for the workers. The second course
in the Correspondence Department will
be started about March 1st, 1914.
This course will be one for which
many requests have COME during the
past year and which will be of great
interest to members of labor unions
as well as Socialists. It's title will be
'4Practical Social Reforms and Move

borators, men well known in the So

The Engineer and
the Surprise" Tests.

notwithstanding the fact that the
differences between the enginemen
and management of ntnety-eight west
ern railroads have been submitted to
arbitration. formal notice has been
served by Warren S. Stone, grand
chief engineer of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, that If the ar
bitration fails TO regulate surprise
tests so as to eliminate danger to
the men, the enginemen of the west
ern railroads will go on strike to en-
force their demands in this regard.
The question of surprise tests was
one of the main questions at issue
when the trouble with the western
roads began some time since, and 1t
would seem from the threat OF Mr.
stone that he believes this phase Of
the situation will either be entirely
ignored by the arbitration board or
that it is the intention OF its mem
bers to uphold the contention Of the
railroads that such tests are neces-
sary.
The surprise test has been a bone
