CHAPTER Xxx.
Turninu the Tables,

Through the door which the aide
had left open the division chiefs, led
by Turcas, filed in. To Westerling
they seemed like a procession of
ghosts. The features of one were the
features of all, craven with the weari-
ness of the machines treadmill. Their
harness held them up. A moving plat
form under their feet kept their legs
moving. They grouped around the
great mans desk silently, Turcas, his
lips half-opened seam, his voice that
of crinkling parchment, acting as
spokesman.
"The enemy seized his advantage"
he said, when he found that our re-
serves were on the march, out of touch
with the wire to headquarters"
Westerling forced a smile which he
wanted to be knowing smile
However, we had not prepared our
positions for the defensive" continued
that very literal parchment voice.
"They began an assault on our left
flank first and we've just had word
that they have turned 1t. Nor is that
the worst of 1t. They are pressing at
other well-chosen points. They threat
en- to pierce our center"

ADVANTAGE of SiIencer,

This crash of the bullet makes the
value of the Maxim silencer very little,
SO far as military efficiency is con-
cerned, in the way that the fiction
writer imagines the silencer to be use
full, but not to prevent the enemy from
discovering the position of the men
firing as many fancy.
It's value lies in the fact that 1t
eliminates fully half of the recol Of
the rife from the action of the gases
In its chambers, and it gives the off,
GERS much better control over the fire.
because Of the lessened noise of the
rifles. 1t cuts down the roar of the
Springfield to about the noise of the
$500 and thus the roar of the rifles
at the firing line Is much reduced, and
the commands of the officers can be
heard.-Outing.

The irritating litter of the ben in
the closet off the library only increased
his defiance of facts beyond control.
He went to the long distance with
reply to the premier's inquiry ready to
his lips.
we got into the enemy's works but
had to fall back temporarily" he said.
Temporarily What do you mean?"
demanded the premier.
81 mean that we have only begun to
attack" declared Westerling. He liked
that sentence. It sounded like the
shibboleth of a great leader In crisis.
81 shall assault again tomorrow
night"
Then your losses were not heavyf"
mo, not relatively. Tomorrow night
we press home the advantage we
gained tonight"
But you have been so confident
each time. You still think that"
THAT mean to win! There is no
stopping halfway"
We'll, I'll still try to hold the situa-
ton here" replied the premier. But
keep me informed"
Dragged by his desperate stubborn
ness, Westerling was believing In his
star again when he returned to the
library. All the greater his success for
being won against skepticism and
fears! He summoned his chiefs of
divisions, who came with the news
that the Browns had taken the very
redoubt from which the head of the
Gray charge had started; but there
they had stopped.
"Of course! OF course they stopped"
! exclaimed Westerling. They are not
mad. A few are not going to threw
themselves against superior numbers

own panic! Lanstron is not a fool.

Meanwhile, we'll get that mob Of ours

night we shall have as many more be.
hind them. We are going to attack
again."
The staff exchanged glances OF
amazement, and Turcas, his dry voice
cracking like parchment, exclaimed:
Attack again? At the same point?'
"Yes-the one place to attack" said
Westerling. "The rest of our line has
abundant reserves; needless mum
Der for anything but the offensive
Well leave enough to hold and draw
off the rest to Engadir at once"
But their dirigibles! A surprising

Shooting Array at Tolovana.

The first case to come before the U. S. commissioner at Brooks, Tolo- vana camp, was a shooting affray, which had taken place in the saloon of Anton Christopher. It appears that Sam Barber, a prospector, appeared at the saloon and demanded bottle of whiskey, and when refused left the saloon only to return in a few min utes with a rife. AS he entered the saloon he called to the patrons to step aside as he did not wish to hurt any one else while he was killing the proprietor. The bystanders grappled with Barber while Christopher went out of the window. Barber is pow erful fellow and although a number of men had hold of him he took a shot at the fleeing saloonkeeper. He was finally overpowered and badly used up as the miners had walked all over his face during the fight.

DANIEL GUGGENHEIM ><
 HOLDS THE CONTROL.

BOSTON: With 167,972 shares outstanding in his name, Daniel Gug- genheim heads the list of the Kenne- colt Copper Corporations stockhold- CTS. During the few months inter- vening since the company was form ed it's shares have been distributed to more than 800 persons. On the other hand the Braden Copper Mines com pany, to be taken over by the Ken necott, has in excess of 20O0 stock holders, but this company has been in existence for years.
 Three holding concerns will figure in the proposed merger, all being dominated by the Guggenheims. Ken necott was owned entirely by the Alaska Syndicate, an equal partner ship divided between the Guggen- helms and J. P. Morgan & Co. A por- tion of the Guggenheim participation was several years ago turned over to Kuhn, Loeb & Co. M. Guggenheim's Sons are believed to have been the factors in Braden, which minds confirmation in the large hold ings standing in the names of the Guggenheim employees. The Gug- genheim Exploration Co. will dis solve after distributing it's assets and turning over a block of 404,O00 shares of Utah Copper to Kennecott.
 In view of the approaching merger the following compilation showing some of the largest holdings of Ken necott and Braden may be of inter- est.

WH|SKEy CRAzED
 MAN RUNS AMUCk
John Rankin Attacks and Wounds Members of Zharoff Family
 While Drink Crazed.

John Rankin, a native of Una laska, who ran amuck with a knife at the home of Mike Zharoff early last evening, is in the Valdez jail, and Mike Zharoff and his daughter Mary are under the care of physician, suffering from severe knife wounds.
 It appears that Rankin, who is a distant relative of Zharoff and had been a frequent caller at the home, called last evening while under the influence of whisky, and despite the protests of the woman he continued to get still farthurer under the in fiuence of the liquor.
 Becoming quarrelsom he insulted Mary Zharoff and received slap in the face which turned him for the time being into wild beast with the desire to kill or maim all who cane within his reach. Drawing his pock- ct knife he slashed the girl across the left arm, making a deep and ugly wound. The girls cries brought her father and brother George to her as- sistance,. when Rankin turned upon them with the knife, cutting Zharoff in the right shouledr. He struck with full force and the blade sank to the depth of two inches into the flesh but fortunately did not touch vital spot. In attempting to save his father George had grabbed Ran kin's hand and received slight cut in the palm of his right hand.
 After being forced from the house through the front door, Rankin at tempted an entrance through the rear door but was scared away when George Zharoff fired shot gun through the door with the intention of warning him. He continued to terrorize the family for fifteen min utes until U. s. Deputy Marshal Moss man, who had been summoned by thss neighbors, arrived and took him in charge.
 The knife with which the cutting was done is an ordinary pocket knife, the blade of which had been worn to a thin strip of steel with an edge like razor.
 Dr. Dalton, who is caring for the injured members of the family. re- ports that while the wounds are deep that they are not seriously so if in- lection can be guarded against.
 Rankin is being given a prelimi- nary hearing this afternoon.
