As the cheers calrned somewhat, ex- Mayor Timothy c. Murphy, who was in the head machine with Joseph T. Fan ming and Postmaster John P Murphy, arose and greeted the assembly. Elk Mayor Murphy expressed his gratiica- tion at seeing so many out. We are tonight celebrating tine victory of the president, a president of all the people, Woodrow Wilson, he said. Ex-Mayor Murphy introduced Joseph T. Tanning, who with pride pointed out the re- election Of Wilson and said every man and woman has undoubtedly read with great interest the results of the e1ec- ton of Wilson, who was reelected in return for his record, and that he re- ceived the largest popular vote of any other president. Tlse people Of Amer ica realize that he is the statesman above any other who should guard and guide this great nation in these trying times such as the world has never seen before. And in celebrating the vic tory there is no place that~we could right here in Greeneville. MT. Fan ming was greeted with many cheers and before he sat dawn he called for three cheers for Woodrow Wilson, the president of the United States. The crowd yelled at the top of their lungs and when the last veil rolled away the band hit up Auld Lang Syne.
 Although it was democratic cele- bration, several republican friends lent aid, when, as the parade started, one of the machines stalled and as the self starter failed t. work it was necessary to pusf the machine out of the way. Republican friends came to the rescue of the disabled machine and pushed it out of the line of march.
 From Greeneville the parade pro- ceeded to Taftville and returned about 10.3O, all well satisfied that they had made aD effective demonstration of their jubilant spirits over the re-elec- tion of Woodrow Wilson.

 INCREASING IN GERMANY
Falling of ;n Demand For Domestic Servants Indicates Simplicity in Liv- inn

Berlin, Nov 13.-The demand for female labor is constantly on the in crease, according to reports from the agencies that supply ne.p. This in- creased demand is accompanied by in- creased demands for pay on the part of the women, so that many of them now insist on at least 50 pfennings an hour (some' 'Sling under ten cents, according to present rates of ex- change.)
 The greatest demand for unskilled female labor has come from the leath- CT and metal trades that already em- ploy thousands if not hundreds of thousands of men whose presence in the army is more and more desired.

SPEAKS UP FOR CANADA
And No Misunderstanding His
Land He Made $3.50
Per Acre.

30 many Americans now have per-
sonal knowledge Of Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer.
leans themselves who know the facts,
and who are too fair-minded to let q
false statement go unchallenged. A
case in point arises out of a statement
supposed to be made by a resident Of
Alberta, and published recently in the
Spokesman.Review, OF Spokane, IN
which the condition Of settlers in this
country was painted i'll a very bad
way indeed. The writer of this at
tack on Canada refused to let his
name be known, SO it can be taken
for what it is worth, but Mr.. s. l..
Wallace, of N 4723 Crestline, Spokane,
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense Of the
country In the following letter which
was published in the Spokesman-Re
view of February II, 1876
ITO the Editor of the Spokesman.Re-
view:
IN Sundays Spokesman.R review was
q letter from a man in Alberta to the
chamber of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was III by the rail-
roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once a man got there he never could
get away. Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
Of Canada.
No country will do as much to help
a man to get on his feet, if he tries to
help himself, as Canada. l know Of
the government helping people to pro-
visions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and
charging only cost of delivery to the
nearest town and 6 per cent. What
more could a man ask?
l lived five years in Southern Sas.
k%atchewan and earned a patent to 800
acres Of as good land as l ever saw.
l have raised over 50 bushels of oats
on sod, 40 bushels of wheat, and 20
of flax to the acre. Until I lost my
health I neve was better satisfied any
where. I had my land rented this last
year for one.third. 1t brought me al
most $3.50 per acre, or s1,143.91 for
1876 acres.
This mar says he loves the land his
fathers died for. So do I, and l love
the land that gave me my home.

En- Voyage.
The great liner Anne of Austria lay
in her slip at the dock. her giant
pulses just throbbing now and then.
Everywhere men and women were
hurrying to and fro in the customary
orderly confusion of the last few mo.
ments before the departure of an
ocean steamer.
Calmly Kitty Gray passed on her
way to the boats office and asked for
her mail and her keys.
As she turned. she almost stumbled
against a man who had Just hurried
aboard-a dark man. thickset. foreign
in appearance. She had the strange
conviction that she had seen him be-
fore.
Then she turned to settle herself
down in her quarters. So far as she
knew, she had not an acquaintance
on the boat.
Now. oddly enough. she recalled the
face Of the stranger. the dark-visaged
foreigner whom she had met at the
ships office. Surely it must have been
the same man who had handed her
her package when she dropped 1t in
the little antique shop. Why should
he be on board this boat? Why should
he recognize her, remember her-for
he had! Trust a woman to know that
he had--he did. Yes. he had known
her. Again a cold feeling of appre-
hension clutched at Kitty Gray's stout
little heart.
She rose and tried to fling off her
depression by means of a visit to the
dining saloon. But for some reason
she felt she would be more comfort
able-or safe-in her own room.
Here she lay down upon the single
berth, which was directly beneath the
portfolio.
She woke-she knew not when nor
why-woke with her eyes staring,
passing in her instant from sleep to
waking.
A face was looking in upon her! A
man had been looking at her, or try
ing to look at her, as she lay asleep.
Kitty Gray's instinct spoke to her
some message-she could not tell
what. Swiftly she caught the chamois
bag from her bosom, and, emptying its
main treasures into her hand. placed
them in that other treasure house of
woman-her stocking. Again feeling

more upon the little couch and re-
signed herself more comfortably to
slumber.
But again she woke-this time it
was with a scream of terror. She
had felt the touch of a hand. Some
thing had tugged at her neck.
She raised her hand. The cham
ois bag was gone-it was the jerk
of the broken silk cord that had

Sure" said Kitty. and turned to
leave, her coin clutched tightly in her
hand. So intent was she on her pur-
chase that she did not notice she had
dropped the package containing the
s%hell-ribbed fan. Vaguely missing
something as she emerged into the
open air, she turned back. and almost
ran into a. man who had passed her
as she came out. He was a foreign
looking individual, dark Of hair and
eyes and skin. strongly built, q figure
such as one would note. He bowed
now courteously enough as he handed
her the package she had let fall. Kitty
thanked him and hurried on her way.
This stranger entered the shop and
spoke in some foreign tongue TO the

"No." said he. answering in English.

CHAPTER v.
The Encounter,

Meanwhile, during the interview Kit
| ty Gray had with the American consul,
a scene of other import was enacting
elsewhere in the Gretzhoffen capital.
In the interior of a white marble
fronted palace. perhaps a mile or SO
distant from the humble quarters of
the American consulate, a tall, dark,
imperious man was pacing up and
| down restlessly, his eyes now and
again turned upon the door of the
great apartment. as though he expect
ed someone to enter. At length the
door did open. A %soft-footed servant
appeared.
Monsieur Roleau, e~xcellency." he
announced.
What, Roleau!" exclaimed the tall
man i~mpetuously, as the visitor en-
tered. What has kept you? The ship
locked hours ago.. And have you got
it? Come. come, mani"
The individual addressed as Roleau
bowed deeply. "Excellency." he said,
Il came as soon as l could be sure l
would not be watched"
He was a man of dark complexion,
of strong and sturdy build, of broad
shoulders and deep chest-a man half
a giant, one would have said-but his
eyes dropped as they met the stern
gaze of him he addressed, as though
he might have been his master.
You found it-you succeeded, then
tell me-"
Observation-Disclosures"
The newcomer extended a hand
which trembled slightly. Il swear it
was in this bag"-he was offering a
little chamois bag tied with a ribbon
at the top-a bag which apparently
had been once suspended by the
broken silk cord attached to it.
You say it was in this bag-then
why not now?"
The tall man caught the little re-
ceptacle from the others hands
ripped 1t wide-shook out the con-
tents. There fell into his hand upon
the table near which he stood, only a
few trinkets of a woman's toilet-a
little dainty handkerchief-a coin, yes,
a coin.
The tall man held this up in his
hand, his face distorted with rage.
What! a %half-dollar of their cursed
and as he did so flung the piece full
in the others face, with such violence
that the skin broke under its i'm
pact.
THE coin!" went on the enraged
speaker-"what do you mean? Do you
mock me, Frederick, your real mon.
arch? You shall die for this. You
have failed-you have not found it
you have lost it,"
His own eyes half starting from his
head in his anger. he strobe forward
and caught the throat of Roleau In
his two mighty hands, shaking him
as he would have shaken a child.
"Go!" he said, and flung him toward
the door.
1t was as Kitty Gray, after leaving the
American consulate, was speeding to-
ward her hotel in her hired vehicle
that she caught sight Of a man stag
gering from the side entrance of a
great mansion house Of white marble
front. He seemed to have escaped
from some calamity-from an attempt
ed robbery or murder. Without paus-
ing to ponder upon propriety, she halt
ed her vehicle and sprang out, hasten
ing over to the sufferer, who stood
at the edge Of the curb.
what is wrong?" said she. "You
are in trouble-you are hurt! Shall
| take you home-to some hospital
to the hotel? Come in, you are well
come"
The man looked at her mutely, hes
itatins.
Come. 1 will carry you where you
like" She had him by the arm now.
and unsightly as he seemed. hurried
