him, perhaps 300 feet beneath him,

sight and yet avoiding discovery.
In his bitterness he gave way to an
impulse springing up in his heart

had stolen her. He would kill Dufour.

TWO ON A TRAIL
BY J. F. Peters


When Johnson reached old Le-
oranges cabin he-Was just ten min
utes too late. He had travelled four
hundred miles that spring to WOO
Marie Lagrange. His winters catch
had been better than at any time in
his ten years of trapping. He meant,
to ask the pretty French girl to come
south and marry him at Winnipeg.
AS has been said, he was just ten
minutes too late. Dufour had antici-
pated him by that amount of time.
He had heard that Dufour was ahead
of him and though he had no reason
to suppose that Marie cared for the
man, he had been vaguely uneasy.
He had seen Dufour at last, when he
was within ten miles of the cabin, and
had spurred his tired horse onward.
But when he reached the top of Birch
Rise, where a few dwarfed trees af-
forded an uncertain cover, he saw
Marie and Dufour standing in front
of the cabin and he saw Dufour take
the girl in his arms.
He mounted and rode away, round
ing the ridge and proceeding aimless-
ly along the water hollow. His only
thought just then was to get out of
sight of Marie She must never
know his disappointment. He off
saddled and built little fire in the
hollow. He fad just finished cook
ing his bacon when he saw Dufour
ride past along the top of the crest
= Dufour was going northward. At
first Johnson wondered why. Then he
remembered that the man set out a
Iinelof traps every spring in the North
Fork country, where winter always
fingered and some of the best furs
were to be taken. In April the fur
bearing animals had not yet shed
their coats, rich and silky from the
prolonged cold.
The lie of the land was peculiar in
this direction. Johnson had de-
scended to the trail that ran along

sion that Dominican. one Jose Nolasca,

sponsible for the conduct Of the depart
ment during his term of office.
John l.. Mann was director OF public
works at the time the defalcatiOns are

rraI of Dominican customs. Both Wick
and Mann have testified against Minister
Sullivan in the investigation OF the lat
ter's appointment and official conduct NO"

HIT ROOTS ARGUMENT
New York Senator Asks that Partisan
ship Be Laid Aside in Con-
sidering Measure.

Debate on the administration ship pur-
chase bill in the Senate yesterday dis
closed that it was not the intention of the
President to buy interned ships of any
belligerent until he had received assur-
ances through diplomatic channels from
the enemies of the country from WHICH
such ships might be bought that the
transfers would be recognized.
Statements to this effect by Senator
Simmons. one of the Presidents special
representatives in the Senate, and Sena-
tor Williams, OF Mississippi. demolished
the foundations upon which Senator Root
and Senator Lodge built their arguments
that enactment of the bill into law and
the operation OF these ships under sane
ton of the government would involve this
government in grave International COM
plicatiOns.
Root Gives Warning.
Senator Root delivered an impressive
speech warning the Senate and the coun-
try against the grave international perils
presented by the bill. Mr.. Root gave 1t
as his sober judgment that any attempt
on the part of the government to pur-
chase and operate informed vessels of
belligerents as is now proposed will be
inviting grave international complica-
tons
Senator Root appealed for the laying
aside of all partisanship in consideration
of the bill.
