that when the battleship New Mexico

should be instructed to name Charles
A. Spices national committeeman was
carried with q whoop.
MAKE II Short. Charlie"
Calls for speech from all parts Of
the han brought the national commit
teeman to the platform, and as he
passed in front of Senator Catron the
latter said, in hoarse stage whisper.
Make il short. Charle-we want to
get away from here. Mr.. Spiess
nodded to the proposition, but when
he once got wound up he evidently
forgot his promise. for his speech CON
sumed the better part Of half-hour.
MIR. Spiess began his remarks in
humorous vein, declaring that he had
already engaged six rooms in the Au-
ditorium Annex in Chicago for the use
OF the New Mexico delegation. but
that he hadn't paid for them. and he
hoped that delegates would he select
ed who were able TO pay their bills.
He thanked the convention for the
honor done him in re-e]ecting him as
national committeeman. and thereup-.
on began an attack upon the demo-
cratic administration along the lines
laid down by Temporary
Chairman Holloman in his keynote adj
dress. The allusion to Roosevelt al
ready referred to marked the high tide
OF enthusiasm for his speech.
Delegates Named.
Before proceeding with the election
of delegates to the national conven-
ton, Jose y. Sena. secretary Of the
state central committee. read two tel
egrams from Representative Il. G..
Hernandez, one addressed to A. G.
Hernandez, a member Of the Rio Ar
riba county delegation, and the other
to Chairman Ralph c. Ely, of the cen
tral committee. In both Of them Mr..
expressed regret at his in
ability to attend the convention and
predicted republican victory ut the
next election.
At this point II. @. Bursum made
his first utterance on the floor of the
arising to introduce res
olution naming the delegates ana al
ternates to the Chicago convention.
The delegates provided Tor in the res

CHAPTER v.
An Amazing Proposition.

The Duke poured out another
glass of wine, took a sip, then set
tied back in his chair.
1T Is a matter that Beauchamp
and / were discussing only the
other day." said he. "Your arriv-
al now is most opportune. 1t may
solve the question, indeed, for
several generations"
He took another sip of his wine,
considered a moment, then went
on:
1--WE were small In numbers
when Duke William settled in OBJ
livion-and we were further d.
vided between nobility and COM
mon people. Naturally, the nobil-
lity we're much the fewer; and, it
so happens, have also suffered
more by death. We were nearly
related by blood or marriage when
we came; today we are RENTED
to marrying cousins of our par
ents, who, in turn, we're cousins of
theirs. The same is true, in a less
degree, Of the common people. Do
l make myself plain?"
Perfectly" saids Brinsmade.
II can readily appreciate your sit
uation. You wish to procure new
blood among you"
Exactly" the Duke replied.
"And you wish our aid to eff
feet it?"
Exactly"
"Then I suggest that you detail
Lord Beauchamp, or someone, to
accompany us to the States, where
he can take ship for England

for colonists."

I understand It," said the Duke.

as well as otherwise.

lind commented.

anything else that may serve his

said Justine. You have your au-
tomatoes with you; save a bullet
each for Rosalind and me-"
1--WE can do BETTER" said I, and
produced the two small Colts.
"Dick!" cried Rosalind. "You
are a dear!"
by gracious, Cardigan, you
are!" exclaimed Brinsmade.
Yet you would have laughed
at me If I had suggested your
bringing them," l remarked.
Then for some minutes we dis
cussed plans for escape. We were
still talking when Rosalind nod
ded toward the stairway-from
which a column of soldiers were
debouching on the pyramid.
They were the Dukes guards.
They drew up in line, were told
off in four detachments and sta
toned at four stairways, eight at
each stairway.

Beauchamp bowed to the Ia
dies, then gravely saluted Brins-
made and me. We returned the
salute in kind.

Brinsmade.

He faced about, and returned
to the Duke.

Hardly Fresh Division Left, According

Berlin. via London, Sept. l9,-The mas
attack by the British along the SommC

OF the entire British forces. The Ger.
mans declare that there is hardly fresh

ly weakened. although il is asserted in
official quarters that the latest battle
has served to convince them once again
that Germany's chief opponent in the
west is France.
On Sunday, while the Germans were
making counter attacks. and, among 9TH
er things regaining a portion of the lost
village of Hartinpuch, both the British
and French continued their efforts at va
rious points along the line, particularly
the British, between Thiepval and Com
bles. These efforts, it is announced, were
brought TO a standstill. The French con.
centrated their efforts at Bouchavesnes,
but were thrown back.
The belief is held in Berlin that even
il Germany's opponents have not com
pletely weakened, a continuation OF the
attacks with their former intensity is an
because the Anglo French
offensive, especially that OF last week,

Reports from the front reiterate that
little as the German troops like to re-
.reat this policy is preferred, if thereby
ives can be saved at the expense of com
laratively unimportant territory.

ers Present.

The public schools of Barre opened this
morning for the fall term with regis,
tration of 2,303 school children, OF whom
45o were in Spaulding high school 1t
lis probable that the enrolment in all the
schools, including the high school, will
be increased somewhat during the next
few days. The high school registration
is not quite as large as last year when
there were 4Sl, but a number OF addition
al students are expected The freshmen
class enrolment numbered 1886
Every teacher was present at the OPEN
ing of the schools, which is considered
quite remarkable when it is taken into
consideration that there are about 20 in
structors. The pupil registration as re-
ported to Supt. White, exclusive of the
high school was | s53 this forenoon.
