CARROLL LARGEST
IOWA WOOL MARKET
CITIZEN OF THAT PLACE HAND
LES IMMENSE VOLUME
OF BUSINESS.

Carroll, June 21.-Carroll is the larg-
est wool market in the state of Iowa.
This fact is probably unknown to more
than a dozen people in the state, but it
is nevertheless an established fact
which can be borne out by the number
Of wool buyers who come here to con-
fer with H. Krensky from time to time
in an effort to buy from him the large
amount of wool which he handles.
Last year the Carroll Hide and Fur
Co., of which Mr.. Krensky Is the own
er, handled more wool than any other
concern In the state, and the buyers
have estimated that this year their
business will be double that Of any
other Iowa concern.
Several carloads have already gone
out of Carroll this year, the last hav-
ing been sold to a firm from Boston.
The London market is received at the
Office Of the company by wire every
morning.
The company has buyers in almost
every important town in Iowa, south
ern Minnesota and northern Missouri,
and their receipts of wool come In by
the carload.
The office force is under the direc-
ton of l.. ]. Kensky, one of the
youngest men in the business and one
of the best known wool men in Iowa
by reason of his dealings with hun
dreds Of people who sell wool, hides
and furs to his company.

taken the capital before the gov

from the president calling out the

CHAPTER x.
a Grave Is Onened,

It was midday. All Sidi-bel- -Abbes
seemed to be asleep. The streets were
almost empty, and lazy hush hung
over the deserted cafes where a few
indefatigable tourists dozed beneath
the gayly striped awnings, watched
over by walters themselves half coma
tose with sleep and Indifference.
In the Cafe du TOnkin the repose
was absolute and unashamed. There
was only one watcher. Presently foot
steps sounded on the stone flags out
side. She got up and crossed the un-
even floor to the door. Her movements
were 1.-THE and noiseless like an ami
mails, and not one of the heavy sleep
ers stirred. In the narrow passage
which led from the street to the en-
trance of the cafe a man in European
dress waited for her. There was some
thing furtive and restless in his
movements that suggested fear
more subtle than that Of dam
ger The girl touched him on his arm.
and without a word he followed her
across the room of sleepers through
curtained doorway into a second apart
ment Here there was no door or win
dow. A charcoal brazier burned in the
center, and it's dull sullen glow lighted
up the shadows and revealed phantom
outlines of low divans and oriental
tables, and hid their dirt and disorder
in soft mysterious twilight.
The girl put her hands upon her
companions shoulders and looked up
at him. He had removed his hat, and
the somber light spread pale repel-
lent reflection over his white features.
1t was as though an artificial life had
been conjured into the face of dead
man.
"You are changed, Desire. What
has happened in these days? Has there
been no comfort for you?"
His eyes opened. He threw back
his head so that they looked each other
in the face.

into burlesque. If it is a confession

Destinn rose, and his heavy fist rest
ed clenched on the table,
"I have asked for your justifica tion,"
be said. "For ten minutes l am pre-
pared to Judge you by my own laws.
1t is an offer worth accepting. Arnaud."
HE is my enemy"
For what reason?"
"There are only two reasons pos
sible. When we hate. it is either be-
cause the object has injured or bene-
fted US unbeara bly,. I have both these
reasons to justify me-"
"You have still five minutes to ex-
plain. Captain Arnaud."
"Expiainv' He laughed, and in his
laughter there already sounded a note
of suffering becoming intolerable. "Ex-

months for me to realize-my Cod

on a moonlight night when the reg-
mental band played in the Cercle and

where-over Sidi-bel-Abbes, over me,

CHAPTER Vili-Continued.

Sylvia Arnaud came out into the
clearing. She was still singing lit
tie louder than before, as If in defiance
Of reawakening dread-and in the
sudden hush her voice sounded luringly
sweet.
"Viens pres de moi, viens plus pres
encore,
Mon amour t'appelle-"
The passing shadow stopped midway
between darkness and darkness. The
light was on them both. There was
smothered exclamation. A revolver
shot rang out and all was quiet again
The last echo of song hung in the vi
brating air. Then slowly, the man
standing against the light, sank to-
gether into limp piteous heap. Col
oneI Destinn raced across the interven-
ing space. his Indifference was gone.
He cursed somberly.
"The inso1ent devils-One Of my ruff
fians-oneI Of my ruff1ans-name Of
God"
He lifted the unconscious head
against his shoulder, his experienced
hands wrenching open the breast Of the
heavy military coat. Sylvia Arnaud
crept up to him. Her face was ashy
and expressionless, like that of a sleep
walker. He waved her impatiently
aside.
Don't stay here. There may be
some more Of them. As you value your
life, run back to the villa and give the
alarm. Ah!" He sprang to his feet
instinctfvely, placing his body between
her and the three men who had started
out Of the darkness. His hand had
flown TO his pocket. "Who goes there?"
''The patrol, my colonel
"Goet-you" A sharp sigh of re-
lief broke from between his set teeth.
Then he drew himself up. The red-hot
rage froze to deadly precision. "How
did you come here"
I'VE were warned by a lady, my
colonel"
You heard that shot Did you see
no one2"
"Tes, my colonel
"And did you not lay hands on him ?"
MY colonel, it was beyond my duty.
It was Captain Arnaud."

BELGIAN BELLS WAR VICTIMS
Famous Towers and CariIIons in Un-
fortunate Country Have Been De-
stroyed in the Conflict.

Among the many unfortunate con-
sequences of the European war is the
destruction of many of the bell towers
and carillons of Belgium. Mr.. William
Gorham Rice, in his "Carillons Of Bel
gium and Holland" explains that the
carillons are set of tower bells at
tuned to intervals of the chrOmatic
scale. Sometimes there are more than
four octaves of bells, the lowest sew
eral tons in weight, whereas the small
est scarcely weighs twenty pounds.
The bells are connected with key
board by means of which the perform
er causes their clappers to strike the
inside of their sound bow, or with
clockwork mechanism that causes a
hammer to strike the outside.
The correspondent of London
newspaper, describing a recital CIV
en- by Joseph Denyn, municipal caril-
lonneur of Mechlin (Malines), wrote:
"In these northern countries the day
is long in August, and it was still twi-
light. Against the southern sky rose
the broad, rugged tower of st. Rom
bold's. High up near the top Of the
tower shone faint light. After the
clock ceased striking and the vibra-
ton Of It's deep and solemn tones had
died away, there was silence. So long
silence it seemed that we wondered
If it was ever to be broken.
''Then, pianissimo, from the highest,
lightest bells as if very gently shaken
from the sky itself, came trills and
runs that were angelic. Rapidly they
grew in volume and majesty as they
descended the scale, until the entire
heavens seemed full of music.
Seated in the garden, we watched
the little light in the tower, where we
knew the unseen carillonneur sat at
that the music came from somewhere
far above the tower, and was pro-
duced by superhuman hands. Some
times in winter there comes thaw,
and one by one the icicles tinkle
down; gently and timidly at first, then
louder and louder. until, like an ava
lanche. the largest ones crash down
with a mighty roar. All that the
music suggested.
SIT was low, it was loud; 1T was
from one bell, and it was from chords
of bells; it was majestic, it was sim
pie. And every note seemed to fall
from above, from such heights that
the whole land heard its melody.
Sometimes the sounds were so
faint and delicate that we found our
selves bending forward to hear them.
At other times, great chords, in the
volumes Of many organs, burst forth
rapturously. y."-Youth's Companion.

are ready-made suits of moderate
price that command the respect of the
most discriminating of women. The
most effective suits follow current
modes with so much reserve that they
are not out of date with the passing
Of a single season. This is especially
true of the materials of which the
best tailored suits are made.
The suit shown here is an excellent
example Of standard suit, made Of
black and white checked material,
which is never out of fashion. The
skirt is plain and rather full and
flares sufficiently to be in the mode.
The coat is plain cut, with an easy
adjustment to the figure, which is
always smart, and has full peplum
