which excluded everything else--and
this was the realization that the wo,

him what the flowers meant The

with their golden thread. II was her
message to him-a message without
words, and yet with a deeper mean
ing for him than words could have
expressed. In flood there rushed
back upon him all the old visions
which he had fought against and he
saw her again in the glow of the
campfire. and on the trail. glorious
in her beauty, his ideal of all that "A
woman should be.
He rose to his feet and locked his
door fearing that some one might
enter. He wanted to be alone to
realize fully what had happened, to
regain control of his emotions If
Isobel Becker had merely written him
a line or two, note eXculpating her
self of what her father had already
explained away, he would still have
thought that world lay between
them. But, in place of that. she had
sent him the faded flowers, with their
golden thread
For many minutes he paced back
and forth across his narrow room,
and never had room looked more
like prison cell to him than this
one did now. He was filled with but
one impulse, and that was to return
to Lac Balm, to humble himself at the
feet of the woman he loved. and ask
her forgiveness for the heinous thing
he had done. He wanted to tell her
that he had driven Bucky Nome into
outlawry. that he had fought for her,
and run away himself-because he
loved her.
1t was Sergeant Moody's voice, vi
brant with the rasping unpleasant
ness of file, that Jared him back
into his practical self. He thrust the
letter and the flowers into his breast
pocket and opened the door.
Moody came in and said:

~7UDDENLY great thrill
shot through Philip. and
5@5s for an instant he stood
l2xsX6J rigid. What was that he
saw out in the gray gloom of Arctic
desolation. creeping up. up, up. al
most black at its beginning, and

throat. and he went on. painting now

warmer He fancied that he could
feel its heat, which was the new
fire of life blazing within him.
He went down between two great
drifts into pit which seemed bot
tomless. He crawled to the top of
the second, using his pulseless hands
like sticks In the snow, and at the
top something rose from the other
side of the drift to meet him.
1t was face, a fierce. bearded

terrible, threatening. and he knew
that 1t was the face of William De-
bar, the seventh brother.
He launched himself forward, and
the other launched himself forward,
and they met In a struggle which
was pathetic In its weakness, and
rolled together to the bottom of the
drift. Yet the struggle was no less
terrible because of that weakness.
It was a struggle between two lin
gering sparks of human life and
when these two sparks had fickered
and blazed and died down. the two
men lay gasping. an arms reach
from each other.
Philips eyes went to the fire. Il
was a small fire, burning moro
brightly as he looked. and he longed
to throw himself upon 1t so that
the flames might eat into his flesh.
He had mumbled. something about
police. arrest and murder during the
struggle. but DeBar spoke for the
firBt time now.

Philip crossed the river into the bar
rens and with each step now his
pulse beat faster. DeBar could not
be far ahead of him. Very soon he
must overtake him. And then-there
would be fight.
At noon he halted and built small
fire between two rocks, over which
he boiled some tea and warmed his
meat. Each day he had built three
fires. but at the end of this day, when
darkness stopped him again. it oc-
Cured to him that since that morn
ing DcBar had built but one.
Gray dawn had scarcely broken
when he again took up the pursuit.
It was bitterly cold, and bling wind
swept down across the barrens from
the Arctic icebergs,
Day after day he followed the trail
of DeBar into the North. The mer-
curry in his thermometer registered
so degrees below zero. The hunted
man was making for a country where
lay nothing but peopleless barrens
as far as the Great Slave. Philip
began to fear DeBar would beat him
out in the race His own weakening
legs were giving way. He came at
last to the edge of little lake.
Seeking to cross it on the ice he
lost his dogs and the sledge and
barely got out with his own life. In
the keenness of his terrible peril he
cried out for help in the hope that
even DeBar would hear and come to
his aid.
When he struggled back out OF the
lake to the edge of the broken ice
he learned then that he had lost not
only his dogs and the sledge, but
even his matches. There was no way
by which he could warm himself or
cook anything to eat. His almost
frozen fingers prevented him from
using his flint and steel.
Good Cod" he breathed.
He rose slowly, with long, shud-
dering breath and turned his eyes to
the lake into the North. Even In
that moment, as the blood in his
veins seemed congealing with the icy
| chill of death, the Irony Of the situa-
| tion was not lost upon Philip.
Its the law versus God. Billy" he
chartered. as IL DeBar stood before
him. 1.-THE law wouldn't vindicate
itself back there-ten years ago-but
guess it's doing 1t now"
He dropped into DeBar's trail and
began to trot.
"At least it looks as II you're on
the side of the Mighty" he con-
tinued But we'll see-very soon
Billy"
Ahead of him the trail ran up a
ridge, broken and scattered with
rocks and stunted scrub, and the
sight OF 1t gave him little hope.
Hope died when he reached the top
and stared out over a mile of life
less barren
AS his legs grew weaker and his
blood more sluggish, his mind seemed
to work faster, and the multitude Of
thoughts that surged through his
brain made him oblivious Of the first
gnawing OF strange dull pain. He
was freezing. He knew that without
feeling pain. He had before him, not
hours, but minutes of life, and he
knew that. too
He stopped again on a snow ridge.
He had come quarter of a mile.
though 1t seemed that he had travel
ed ten times that distance.
"Sixty degrees below zero--and
it's the vindication OF the law"
His voice scarcely broke between
his purple Inns now, and the bitter
sweep of wind swayed him as he
stood.

met in a body and decided the list
of men from whom the electorate
should choose, but the electorate did
the final choosing. The Freeman
Tribune is not averse to cutting
down the number of state officers to

is opposed to the assumption that
such cutting is necessary because
the people do not know enough to
make the nominations. 1t is claim
ed that party organization is neces-
sary to the most successful admins

A.-"Following the election of
President Wilson 1 doubled the num-
Der of my sheep; neighbors thought
that was making a mistake and told
me so; Democrats surely would put
wool on the free list, they said, and
that would bring down the price of
wool and make sheep raising I'M

this years clip and got cents a
pound more for it than I received
when wool was protected ''-Du-
buque Telegraph-Herald.
Dwell, Mr.. higgins, if you are
getting three cents per pound more
for wool than you received before
the tariff was taken off what be-
comes of the democratic claim that
the tariff is a tax upon the consum-
er? Silence from Mr.. higgins.
Off a reduction of the tariff
means an increase in the value of
the porduct how is a reduction in
the tariff to reduce the high cost of
living?
Mr.. higgins: 1 don't know.
Q.-Do you hold, Mr.. higgins,
that to put impost duties upon for
eign products reduces the selling
price of the domestic product? If
not, how can the removal of such
duties increase the price to the con-
sumner, as you claim it has as re-
CARDS wool?

EXCLUSION OF HINDUS.
Ir. higgins: Search me

Exclusion of the Hindus from
America is the subject of an inter-
esting article by DR.. Sudhindra Bose,
of the Department of Political Sci
ence at the State University of
Iowa, in the current number of the
Modern Review" the leading Eng
lish journal of India. In this article
DR.. Bose explains to his countrymen
that the agitation against the Hin
dus is largely the work of the Pa
cific coast labor unions, and that the
people of the United States, as a
whole, are well-disposed towards the
East Indians.
Americans have shown every
courtesy to our distinguished travel
ers from India" DR.. Bose writes.
"They have accorded our students
in their universities every faculty
enjoyed by their own students, and
they have materially aided in many
a good cause in India"
The proposed Hindu exclusion law
has aroused much heated discussion
in India. Some of the nationalist pa
pers have even urged the Indian gov
eminent to adopt retaliatory meas
ures, and they are calling on the peo-
pie to boycott American goods.
DR.. Bose shows in his article that
there are less than 5000 Hindus in
the whole of continental America.
They do not cut down the wages Of
the American workman. "The Hin
dus may bring with them lower
standard of living, but" he contends.
their unceasing desire to improve
their condition forces them to raise
that standard to the level of their
new American surroundings.
DR.. Bose also maintains that the
Aryan Hindus can be assimilated in
to our American population in as
much as assimilation means under
standing and sympathy with Ameri-
can ideals"
He declares that since the Hindu
immi grafton is declining of itself, an
exclusion law is therefore wholly

Alleging that he was made a con-
frmed dope fiend" because of NOR
phine and other drugs given him to
alleviate his pain, Henry Hersh has
filed suit in the Linn county district
court against DR.. w. A. York, of
Lisbon, Ia, for $11,750 damages.
The case, if it ever comes to trial,
will be interesting from many
standpoints. There can be no doubt
OF the damage to a man to be made
a "dope fend" and it would be
worth something to know to what
extent the court would hold a ply
stefan responsible for the after re-
suits of the use of his prescriptions.
Perhaps the doctor pursued the
course necessary to save the life of
the patient. But even in that event
the patient is damaged. He would
be thousand times better off had
he died.

Republican newspapers are much
exercised over the size of the pork
barrel this year. But it's the same
old pork barrel. 1t only makes a
great difference as to who handles
it.-Waterloo Times-Tribune.
1t appears to be the same old bar
rel and the condition that now con-
fronts the country demonstrates con-
clusively that when the democratic
party is bowling for economy it is
only playing the hypocrite. 1t will
be well to remember this in Iowa
this fall. The democrats are now
starting campaign to stop extrava-
gance in state affairs, but the con-
clusion is forced that if they get in
to power they will not only not stop
it, but will be even more extrava-
CANT than the republicans have been.
Then such papers as the Waterloo
Times-Tribune will laugh at the
voters and tell them it is the same
old game of grab with a different
set of grabbers whose only fault is
that they grab a little more than
their predecessors did.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

In Mexico they are having taste
of religious intolerance that Is bear
ing down heavily upon the Roman
Catholic church and the governor OF
Nuevo Leon has issued orders for the
expulsion of all foreign priests from
the territory over which he has jur-
isdiction. He also DEGREES certain
practices shall not be followed by
the Catholics in that country, taking
away their liberty to worship &C.
cording to the set rules of the
church. The following dispatch Of
recent date, from Tampico, Mexico
sets forth the orders and statements
of the governor, Antonio R. Villar.
cal:
During the life of the nation the
church has been a pernicious factor
in destruction and discord and has
entirely forgotten its spiritual mis-
sion."
The most drastic feature of the
decree is the prohibition of confes-
sion. Villareal gives as his reason
for this, the change that the comics.
sional and the sacristy in Mexico
have become a menace to morality.
The decree issued in Monterey
makes the following orders for gov
eminent of Catholic schools and
churches:
mo ALI foreign Catholic
priests and Jesuits of whatever ma
tionality will be expelled from the
state of Neuvo Leon.
mo. 2.-Of the remaining Cath
Ollie priests, those who can not prove
their complete abstention from poll
tics will be expelled.
mo. 3.-Churches will remain
open daily from six o'clock in the
morning until one o'clock in the af-
ternoon. Only priests who have per-
mission to do so will be permitted to
officiate.
mo. 4.-Confession is prohibited.
"No. 5.-The public is prohibited
from entering the sacristy.
"No. 6.-Church bells shall ring
only to celebrate feasts as in honor
of the country or triumph of the
constitutionalists arms.
"No. ALI Catholic colleges
shall be closed which do not obey
the programs and tests ordered by
officials and which do not have at
their head, some professor who is
a graduate of the normal schools of
the country who will be responsible
to the government for any infrac-
ton of the rules.

laws will be penalized by fine Of

unnecessary. The Hindu laborers.
in the opinion of DR.. Bose, should
not be excluded by harsh legislation,
but it could be excluded or restrict
ed by diplomatic arrangement be-
tween the United States and the gov
eminent of India"
