CHAPTER XII.
The Escape.


The grind of the wheels under the
brakes had hardly ceased when high
| official of the court of Grahoffen
| sprang aboard the train, looking this
way and that expectantly, peering
| through the windows and doors of
coach after coach. But he did not find
the man he sought Hurrying through
the last car of the train, at last he
half-stumbled over the limp form of
Bartel lying on the floor where Ro-
leau's arm had flung him, neck and
crop.
Quick here!" he called out. Heres
murder-but by whom? Where have
they got to? After them, mem"
But now some sort of answer to their
questioning came in a shout from the
station platform. Someone was point

side. The official sprang forward.
after them. men! They must have
done this" cried he. They have what
we seek"
A band Of mounted men an instant
later rode out of the station in full
pursuit of the fugitives. They raced
down the road, toward a bridge which
spanned the stream ahead.
Look yonder, excellency!" ex-
claimed Roleau. at length, as he turned
and faced down the slope to gaze at
these pursuers. "They will cut us on
on ahead Look-they are riding for
the bridge"
He looked this way and that, as the
three paused uncertain. At last his
eyes fell upon vast bowlder that lay
near by the edge of the ridge upon
which they stood. He cast swift
glance below, lining up the course OF
the bowlder straight down to the
bridge below. Bracing himself, he
threw his shoulders against the bowl
der, exercising every ounce Of his own
prodigious strength.
The advancing soldiery heard the
roar of the coming stone, saw how I'M
minent was the danger from it, but
some of the riders were already at
the bridge itself as it struck. 1t
crashed through the timbers as If
they had been straw What had been
the bridge was a ruin. Horses, riders
all were carried down into the
stream below.
Come, now" cried Kitty's compan-
ion to her once more as they saw the
pursuit arrested. ION ahead there
may be a better place-we may yet
get through if we hasten"
At length, well-nigh spent, they
flung themselves down in this place OF
greater security. Far below they
could see mounted men still coming.

With no special plan, she cast her

Alfalfa Attracts Iowa Farmers.

The alfalfa display in the Wisconsin
exhibit at the central Iowa fairs at
tracted intense attention. The Iowa
farmers, wisely or unwisely, have con-
cluded that their conditions are not
generally suited to the production of
this wonder forage plant. 1t is prob
able that as far as this applies to the
great black soil prairies of that state
they are correct in their conclusions.
They appreciate fully the value of al
falfa to the stockgrowar and dairy
man.
They are keen to the fact that near
ly' all of the state of Wisconsin is
splendidly suited to the production of
large yields of alfalfa. and that Wis
consin alfalfa is of the highest quality
The situation is Overwhelmingly inter
esting to the Iowa stockgrower. Scores
of Iowa stoekgrowers and dairymen
said that they were coming to locate
In Wisconsin and that they were go
ing to grow alfalfa--and yet probably
SIS per cent of the farmers of the state
have not yet started to grow this great
plant.

SIR EDWARD CARSON
QUITS BRITISH CABINET
Attorney General Resigns in Fight
Over CONSUMPTION and Row Over
the Balkan Situation.

London. Oct 20.-The first break in
the coalition cabinet organized after
the Kitchener criticism of last spring
came on Monday when Sir Edward
Carson. attorney general. announced
his resignation. The government has
made no announcement of the break.
Carson's detection was the result OF
the strenuous tight he has made in
the cabinet in favor of CONSUMPTION.
With only one or two supporters he
has held that the only way England
can raise an army sufficient to insure
victory of a permanent nature is by
compulsory military service.
The attorney generals resignation.
which has been predicted for several
days, has created a crisis which may
force Premier Asquith to name an
other entirely new cabinet.
simultaneously with the announce
ment by Carson Of his resignation
came the announcement that Gen. sir
Ian Hamilton had been relieved of his
command of the allied troops in the
Mediterranean and replaced by Gen.
Sir c. C. Monro.
The action is believed to be the d.
rect result Of the widespread criticism
Of the allies failure to break through
the Dardanelles. The tremendous
casualties which this effort has cost.
estimated to be $4,000, have been at
tributed to poor generalship.
The Dardanelies campaign and the
Salouiki expedition are said TO have
been bones Of contention. Some Of
the cabinet ministers are said to have
favored abandoning the Dardanelles
campaign.
Besides, it is reported there is in
| certain quarters much criticism Of the
landing Of French and British troops
at Saloniki to help Serbia.
