REMARKABLE FACILITIES FOR
TRANSPORTATION AFFORDED BY
HOLLANDS SYSTEM OF CANALS

There is in Holland a life I'M
known elsewhere. or at least but little
known; it is the life on the water"
writes Alphonse Esquiros, according
to the Christian Science Monitor
AT all the spots where nature has
forgotten to place rivers or streams,
Dutch industry has made canals.
These waterways lead not only from
one town to another, but even to each
village-we might almost say to each
country house.
AS the majority of these canals
are higher than the adjoining, fields,
and as they are concealed by dykes,
at certain distance off you can see
neither water nor boats, but only the
swelling sails, which have the ap-
pearance of making an excursion
about the country.
There are hoats for conveying pas
sengers; the rich and busy classes de-
spise this mode of locomotion as slow
and vulgar, but they lose those land
scape beauties, for which the speed
does not compensate. The services
rendered elsewhere by carts are here
performed by boats; the gardener
himself pulls his boat to market
laden with vegetables, fruits or flow
ers, just as in the south of Frances a
donkey is led along.
"At Amsterdam, on quarter days,
the furniture is moved from one part
of the iowa to another on the can
ais; chairs and tables, arranged with
some degree of symmetry, appear to
be awaiting visitors. These saloons on
the water move along through the
crowd, which does not even look at
them.

In the midst of water, it has none to

Flat boats, true water carriers,
were obliged to come to it's help I'M
til recently, when human industry
sought rain water in the dunes, and
brought it to Amsterdam by engines
whose strength and boldness or con-
ception are admirable.
'aThe boats especially employed for
the passenger service are called trek

gondola OF water diligence. Along
nearly the whole length, which Is
about thirty feet, runs a box or

along two sides of this cabin run

travellers sit opposite each other.
Sometimes there are on shelf a

that line the canal banks.
Beautiful Scenery.
"The scenery of Holland has been
accused of monotony; but possibly
persons have not looked twice at it.
Here you must seek variety not on
the earth but in the sky. Look up!
the sky is more diversified in the
Netherlands than anywhere in France.
Those immense clouds with their
thousand shapes, their changing col
ors and rapid wings, 1mpart a singu-
lar movement TO the landscape.

gazing on the stars, the placid light
of the moon on the tranquil waters,
the innocent attitude of the small

st. Louis Incorporated
los Years Ago Today

The first permanent settlement on
the site of st. Louis was established
in 1854 by Pierre Ligustes Laclede,
but it was not until Nov. 9, 1869, just
los years ago today, that the future
great city was incorporated ass a
town, Founded by the French, the
frontier post was fer time under
Spanish domination, but was re-
stored to France and in 1903 was
transferred to the United States. At
that time st, Louis had population
of about goo, and. was still protected
against the Indians by wall Of
brush and clay. When the town was
Incorporated in 1909 the population
was about 1,400. The Inauguration
of steamboat traffic on the Mississippi
gave the town a boom, and in 1922
1t was Incorporated as a city, with an
area of S85 acres, and a population
of about 5000. For a decade the
population remained almost station
airy, hut by 1910 it had reached the
IT ,O00 mark. The revolution in Ger
many in 1S4S gave st, Louis another
big push forward, for thousands of
exiles from the kingdom of the
Hohenzollerns found a refuge ia the
Missouri City. st. Louis also had a
large -Irish-born contingent. For a
time feeling ran high against the
foreigners, and the native American
spirit wass rampant, and resultant in
many bloody riots. Between 1856
and 1897 st. LoI.S progressed from
an evergrewn town Of 5000 to- a
real city with $4,000 population
and since then it's growth had been
steady and continuous.

CHAPTER XIII.

Again inaction and suspense drag
ged at Duane's spirit.
But one day there were signs of the
long quiet of Ord being broken. A
messenger strange to Duane rode In
on a secret mission that had to do
with Fletcher. Duane was present In
the tavern when the fellow arrived
saw the few words whispered, but did
not hear them. Fletcher turned white
with anger or fear, perhaps both, and
he cursed like a madman. The mes
senger rode away off to the west.
This west mystified and fascinated
Duane as much as the south beyond
Mount Ord. After the messengeE left
Fletcher grew silent and surly. 1t
became clear now that the other out
laws of the camp feared him, skept
out Of his way. Duane let him alone,
yet closely watched him. 4,
Perhaps an hour after the messen-
ger had left, not longer, Fletcher man
ifestly arrived at some decision, and
he called for his horse. Them he
went to his shack and returned. To
Duane the outlaw looked in shape both
to ride and to fight. He gave orders
for the men in camp to keep close
until he returned. Then he moupted.
"Come here, Dodge" he called.
Duane went up and laid hand on
the pommel Of the saddle. Fletcher

him, till they reached the log bridge.

secret Duane realized perfectly that
he loved her. The emotion was like
a great flood.
''Miss Longstreth, all this seems so
unbelievable" he whispered. "Chesel-
dine is a rustler chief I've come out
here to get. He's only a name. Your
father is the real man. I've sworn
to get him. I'm bound by more than
law or Oaths. can't break what

streth, believe II love you. It's
all come in a rush. I'd die for you
if could. How fatal-terrible-
is! How things work out!"
She slipped to her knees, with her
hands on his.
"You won't kill him?" she implored.
'If you care for me-you won't kill
him."
"No. That promise you"
With low moan she dropped her
head upon the bed.
Duane opened the door and stealth
lily stole out through the corridor to
the court. But long after he had
tramped out into the open there was
lump in his throat and an ache in
his breast.

Duane did not finish what he meant,
but instead made step toward the
door. White Of face and dark of eye,
she took hold of him to detain him.
She was as strong and supple as
panther. But she need not have been
either resolute or strong, for the clasp
Of her hand was enough to make
Duane weak.
"Up yet, Ray?" came Longstreth's
clear voice, too strained, too eager to
be natural.
'No. I'm in bed reading. Good
night" instantly replied Miss Long
streth, so calmly and naturally that

motioned for. Duane to hide in the

The door swung inward with swift
scrape and jar: Longstreth half en-

him Duane saw Lawson, and indis-
tinctly another man.
Longstreth barred Lawson from en-
tering, which action showed control as
we'll as distrust. He wanted to see
into the room. When he had glanced
around he went out and closed the
door.
Then what seemed a long interval
ensued. The house grew silent once
more. Duane could not see Miss
Longstreth, but he heard her quick
breathing.
Presently he pushed open the closet

stay till you're safe," she replied.

in a bunch before the tavern. The
party consisted about twenty men, all
heavily armed, and : evidently in
charge of clean-cut, lean-limbed
cowboy. Duane experienced consider
able satisfaction at the absence Of the
sheriff who he had understood was
to lead the posse. Perhaps he was
out in another direction with a differ
ent force.
"Hello, Jim Fletcher" called the
cowboy.
"Howdy," replied Fletcher.
At this short, dry response and the
way he strobe leisurely out before the
posse Duane found himself modifying
his contempt for Fletcher. The out
law was different now.
