The girl smiled.
Yes, quite possible. l think he is

Maine, and she looked at the Ameri-

For moment It was like passage

were, shook her feathers and her
beads.
And I don't care in the least about
being duchess! My father made
his money in oil. am not an aristo-

Then" said the Comtesse de la
Maine, forgetting that she was a
Jesuit, you will marry Robert de

But nothing on earth would in

Redmond. That's what I'm telling
you, Madame. l don't love him!"
The Comtesse de la Maine looked
at her companion and bit her lip.
She blushed more warmly than is per-

but she was young and the western
influence is pernicious.

The Comtesse de la Maine broke

rose above all the smallness of CON

formal education.
You are wonderful" she said,
laughing softly. her eyes full Of tears.
"Will you tell me what makes you
think that he is fond OF me?"
But you know it SO WE'LL" said
Julia. Hasn't he cared for you for

Madame de la Maine wondered Just
how much Julia Redmond had heard,
and as there was no way of finding
out, she said graciously:
He has seemed to love me very
dearly for many years; but am
poor; / have a child. He is am

CHAPTER XIX.
The Man In RAGS.

The Marquise d'Esclignac, under the
stars, interviewed the native soldier,
the beggar, the man In rags, at the
foot OF the veranda. There was a moon
as well as stars, and the man was dis
tinctly visible In all his squalor.
What on earth is he talking about,
Robert?"
About Sabron, marianne" said her
godson laconically
The Marquise d'Esclignac raised her
lorgnon and said:
Speak, mani What do you know
about Monsieur de Sabron? See, he is
covered with dirt-has leprosy, proba-
bly," But she did not withdraw. She
was great lady and stood her ground.
She did not know what the word
"squeamish" meant.
Listening to the mans 1argon and
putting many things together, fremont
at last turned to the Marquise DIES
clignac who was sternly fixing the beg
gar with her naughty condescension:
Marianne. he says that Sabron is
alive, In the hands of natives In a GER
tain district where there is no travel,
In the heart of the seditious tribes. He
says that he has friends in a caravan
OF merchants who once a year pass
the spot where this native village is
"The mans a lunatic." said the Mar
quise d 'Esclignac calmly. Get Abime-
lee and put him out of the garden,
Robert. You must not let Julia hear
OF this"
"Marraine," said fremont quietly,
"Mademoiselle Redmond has already
seen this man. He has come to see
her tonight"
How perfectly horriblel" said the
Marquise d'Esclignac. Then she asked
rather weakly Of fremont: Don't you
think sol"
well, think" said fremont, that
the only interesting thing Is the truth
there may be in what this man says.
II Sabron is captive. and he knows
anything about 1t. we must use his in
formation for all 1t is worth"
"Of course" said the Marquise DIES
clignac. of course. The war depart
ment must be informed at once. Why
hasn't he gone there?"
He has explained" said fremont.
that the only way Sabron can be
saved is that he shall be found by out
siders. One hint to his captors would
end his life"

method for ending the war would be
for the allies to build and send a ire

Kellogg-The council is at its wits
ends to make the annual estimate. The
members met recently and after the
several items were shaved to the limit
it was found that the amount actually
needed TO run the city was about $4,000
short.
There are two causes. One is that
the prohibition law will cut off the
revenue from liquor licenses. The
error made at the courthouse in Wal
lace was body blow. 1t was found
that $4,000 due to Mullan and Wardner
for liquor licenses had been turned
over to Kellogg by mistake and the
county officers are now holding out this
amount from the taxes coming in,
$1400 having been retained thus far
and the remaining $1,000 to be held out
this coming month. The error was
discovered by special auditor en-
gagged by Mullan.
The total amount required, accord
ing to the estimate, will be $15, 725.
The assessed valuation will be approx
imately $575, 900 and the new law
places the maximum levy at ID mills.
1t will require 20-mill levy to meet
the requirements of the city.
The matter of a franchise for the
Kellogg Power and Water company
was postponed until the first meeting
in July.

 President Wilson, upon recommen- dation of Secretary of the Interior Lane. has just signed an order creat- ing the Big Lake reserve in Arkansas, for the protection of native birds.
 The tract embraced within the bird reserve contains low marsh land, over flowed for a considerable period each year. about $500 acres and a large tract covered with water from two to six or eight feet deep. The tract is about nine miles long and varies from loo yards to a mile ard quarter in width. Big Lake is in the so-called sunk land" country, famous for its vast numbers of waterfowl and plume birds.
