AN OLD APPEAL.

One of the bravest and mos
gallant struggles for national llb
erty in all of the history of tht
world was the war for the indie
lpendence of the Netherlands
against Phillip Ii of Spain. viii
liam of William the ST
lent-.ed his people through years
of war to ultimate victory, though
he did not live to see that great
result. In unselfish devotion to
his people and his country, In
courage and ability, he stands in
the annals Of his country as Wash
iDgton stands in ours. Of him it
was said by Motley, the historian.
"When he ditd the little children
cried in the Streets"
The great and powerful United
States arrayed against Germany
is in no such condition as was the
Netherlands Confederacy ~arrayed
against the power of Spain, yet
the Prince of Oranges appeal to
the Dutch people 10 give financial
support to the cause of liberty
possesses timely interest when
the United States Government isI
asking the American people i0I
give their financial support tol
their Government in this war itrI
liberty in the world.
The Prince Of Orange in his ad
dress to the Inhabitants of the
Netherlands used these words:
"Let not a sum of gold be 80
dear to you, that for its sake you
will sacrifice your lives, your
wives, your children, and all your
descendants, to the latest genera.
tions; that you will bring sin and
shame upon yourselves, and de.
strnction upon us who have so
heartily striven to assist you.
Think what scorn you will Incur
from foreign nations, what a crime
you will &C mmit against the Lord
God, what a bloody yoke ye will
impose forever upon yourselves
and your children, If you now
seek for subturfnges; If you now
prevent us from taking the field
with the troops which we have en
listed On the other hand, what
inexpressible benefits you will con
ter on your country, if you now
help US to rescue that fatherland
from the power Of our enemies"

Correct Method Of Cramking
Car.

Reports of Insurance. companies
show that 81 per cent of. accidents
to motorists are cranking accidents.
The correct method of craukiDg a
car is to stand directly in front of
the handle and grasp it with the
four fingers of the right hand, let
ting the thumb lie idle along the
handle. Raise the handle TO it's
highest point, press in, and turn
from left to tight. If the com.
preston is good the motor should
start on the upward pull. II it
doesn't don't push down over the
compression. Release the handle
from engagement, turn back and
pull upward again. Sprained
thumbs and broken arms often re.
suit from failure to observe this
rule. Times PicayuDe.

FOURTH EPISODE
The Earthquake.

Since the luminous hands and eyes
had appeared in the corner of Leon
tines room for the second time, Sc
bastian had ceased to persecute her.
Ostensibly they lived amicably to-
gether, yet Sebastian's heart was for
ever filed with gnawlng jealousy of
the dead Jerry, who still, as he well
knew, possessed the soul of the woman
who was his wife in name alone.
He had expected that the deadlock
of this difficult situation would be
broken long before. But the phenome-
non of the burning eyes, which Sebas-
tian attributed to the supernatural,
had shocked and stunned him. Then
he had been terrified by the sudden
appearance of One Lamp Louie, alias
Louis Lamb, his confederate in crime.
Another thing that had frightened
him was the appearance Of the mystic
rious stranger, Ravengar. Sebastian

RAILWAY FARES LOW THEN
In England During 1867 Rates Were
at the Minimum Because of
Competition.

In calculating the recent big In
crease in railway fares, the powers
that be unfortunately took the present
day ordinary rates, remarks London
Tit-Bits. Travellers would have been
better pleased had they taken as a
basis the fares in vogue sixty years
ago. Competition then reacted most
beneficially for the traveller. During
the winter of 1861 the fare from
London to Peterborough was one shil-
ling, the distance being 76 miles, and
during the same period the ordinary
return fare between York and London,
377 miles, was IS Cd.
A year later there was competitive
effort to capture the Manchester pas
senger traffic, with the result that the
double journey of 367 miles cost but
five shillings. After that the compa-
nies became more commercial and less
philanthropic.

felt instinctlvely that Ravengar's en-
trance into his life boded evil for him.
Finally, there was Louie's strange
disappearance. Sebastian knew that the
fellow had not perlshed in the fire.
It was nearly four months after
Louie's disappearance when Sebastian,
passing behind his wife's chair as Le-
ontine sat reading the newspaper,
found himself staring into O photo

Underneath the photograph was title

which he had staked out on q noun

The article went on to say that a
recent earthquake had disrupted con-
siderable part Of the mountainside, un-
covering a rich alluvial deposit,
drained, doubtless, from a mother lode
OF incalculable richness somewhere In

Sebastian stared at the photograph
in silence.
Leontlne looked up at her husband,
instinctively drawing away from him.
Sebastian noted the movement.
''We're going west tomorrow" he
said curtly.
"West? Where? asked Leontlne.
"White's Village. The place you're
reading about. Did you ever see that
man before?"
"Yes. lie looks like that queer
friend Of yours whom we saw in the
cabaret on the night of TIE fire, but

The longest dog derby ever staged Was completed at St. Paul on Febru- ary when Albert Campbell, Trench Canadian completed the dis ,ance Of 5l6 miles in exactly ten days to the hour. Twenty five thousand people were at the finishing point and gave the winner ,grea: ovation.
 The feature of the grueling contest was the supreme effort to win of Fred hartman, the only American in the race. Louis Hill. son of the late J. J. Hill offered Hartman one thousand aolars if he would finish and he did.
 1t was mighty heavy going all the way through, s:i,l, us here in Alaska will sure have to slnIle when we read about the extraordinary bursts of speed referred to where the teams actually made twelve miles in two and q half hours.
 However we greet St. Paul into the arena of dogdom and if they make it worth our while we will send .hem teams that will make that journey in half the time.
 The following is from the St. Pau, Dispatch:

 NO one who followed the five men through the ardous last four days of .heir trip could have any other view. Albert and Gabriel Campbell, Joe Metcalf and Bill Grayson did not want to hurry and if Hartman had not kept pushing them the race might have lasted until next week,
 But consistently. tirelessly. Hart man hung on with :he tenaclty of a shadow.
 BAFFLEO BY WARY RIVALS
 Until yesterday morning at Elk River, Hartman had chance, al- though slim one, to slip in ahead. If he had obtained a two-hour lead out from Elk River while the others

 HANSON DESERVES CREDIT.
 In addition to the five who finish ed, credit should be gwen 70 Hyur- them Hanson, the Icelander who quit at Alexander because of .tn injured knee. 1t was an actual injury and Hanson was. forced out. He had planned to continue the race next day but the condition of his left leg made it Impossible,
 For more :han 300 miles he had led in the race from Winnipeg with a lead averaging eighteen miles. Re- peatedly he could have pulled away but desire to assist Gunnar Tomasson and Mike Kelly, companion fishermen, held hlm back until the opportunity was gone. Hanson already is plan ming for next years race.
 HARTMAN TO VAUDEVILLE. It IS probable that Hartman will go into vaudeville for Il few weeks, but if he does his act will be ar ranged under the supervision of Louis w. Hill and the contract inspected by the same man. There will be no easy money for promoters.
 The act contemplated would in clude an endless, moving flooring on which Hartman could drive his dogs on the stage while motion pictures ot him in the derby could be shown Tn the background The carnival as- sociation obtained q large amount of movie film showing Hartman in ac- tion and this would be available for the act.
 Hartman is clever, kcea and bright. He would prefer one of the larger vaudeville circuits and so would hls managers.
 LEVERAGE FIFTY MILES A DAY..
 The derby started at noon Janu- ary 24 at Winnipeg and ended at St Paul, 6l6 miles away, exactly zen days later The mon averaged fifty miles Il hdSi oi Sll5nlIS ltSo lll'ill IN | iIllItS an hour for the distance
 No statistics were kept of the num- Der of hours the men actually had on the road.
 From information already on hand. the race next year should draw suffi- cient entries to neccsstatc a prelm- mary with the best twenty running to St. Paul. The twenty should hn clude representatives of as many factions as possible to obviate a re- occurrence of this years trouble.
 The four Hudson Bay trappers ia their running did not exceed the mile age ordinarily maintained by them on hunting expeditions. In travelling 1.000 miles they should go from forty 10 fifty miles day.

 But the paid watchers of the four who at last realized that in Hartman they had a genuine competitor spoiled Hartman's designs. Thirty minutes after he had stolen out into the night the first of the others followed
 LEAD IS SOON LOST.
 Although Hartman left Elk River half an hour m advance, he reached Anoka, twelve miles away an hour behind the others. That was the final blow. From then on it was e question of whether he could finish, not whether he would win.
 From A. NJ. yesterday until AL bert Campbell passed the line at Como park at 1:44 P. M., the four trappers showed what they really could do if they desired. A flash of their great speed possibilities was seen. They made the twelve miles from Elk River to Anoka in two and a half hours.
 CEASE TO WORRY OVER FINISH.
 During the breakfast at Anoka, their last meal before the finish, they laughed and chatted as congenial,y as ever and plainly showed entire lack of worry over the race.
 Leaving Anoka at 730 A. M., they never stopped until the finish, twen- ty-three miles away. They made the distance in six hours, averaging four miles an hour through roads inn passable to horses. They deserve great credit for the speed made under difficult conditions. The pity was they showed no speed before.
 From Anoka 10 Frldley they follow ed the interurban tracks and made good tlme. They took .urns breaking trail
 HARD GOING FOR FIVE MILES
 From Fridley to New Brighton is five miles. The official score cards of the race gave twelve miles erroneously and this led to a belief that the men would be much later than they were in
