CHAPTER Iv-continued.

The police were stiIl active. So In
sistent was Boroday on caution that all
of September went by without so mucn
as a plan of campaign. Talbot playeu
golf and established friendly relations
that might be invaluable later. Hun
under protest, retained the taNcaO
work.
"It's a dogs life" he said. They're
not after me now. Give me somethlnS
else to do, or else let me take Vaca-
| ton"
But they kept him at work.
HUFF fell into the way of seeing Eli
nor once or twice a week. Talbot TOOK
him out, picking him up on the edge OF
town after dusk, on his way In his car
| TO a dance or dinner at the country
club, and taking him back the same
way.
And the boys infatuation for Eiinor
grew and thrIved on those late summer
meetings. Her sweetness and elusive
ness maddened him. Sometimes ne
thought her never so far from MIN us
when she was in his arms.
"Do you love me7" he would demand
hoarsely.
"I think so. / know want you to
love me-"
And he had to be content with this.
On the evenings when she was alone
Elinor sat In her arbor and watched
the road up the hill. Ward had cailed
twice, and each time she had been out
on the long rnmbles she took almost
daily. After his second visit, she
stayed in the house for days. expecting
him. But he did not come again.
She was not in love with Ward, just
as she was not in love with Walter
HUFF. But the clergyman represented
In her strange and lonely life, some
thing new and different. He typiied
all that she had never known. He was
the priest, rather than the man to her
at first. The time was coming when he
would be man only, and after that
Late in September Boroday was ar
rested. The arrest came as shock to
the band. AS a matter of fact the po-
lice could prove nothing, but the chief
had q long talk with the Russian. 1t
was the Agrarian affair of course. The
chief had recognized him. But so firm
ly had old Hilary's responsibility been
rooted in the public mind that the chief
connected Boroday only casually with
him.
"You know that cannot prove this
thing on you" he said, ''but you know
also perfectly we'll that can fix you to
the tune of about ten years"
Perfectly correct in both instances,
said BorOday. "You cannot prove any
thing and you can send me up. What
is it you want?"
"I want the members of that band Of
yours" said the chief. "And want
your headquarters. You people have
been playing hell in this county long
enough; the newspapers are laughing
at us. Sooner or later, We'll get you
and get you all. Make 1t sooner and
we'll let you off easy"
"How much time will you give meT
The chief offered twenty-four hours
and Boroday took it. At the end OF
that time he reported.
81 guess I'll take what's coming to
me-" he said. "YOu can fix 1t any way
you like"
1t was bitter disappointment to the
police.

ally crossed re-enfOrcements from the
First corps which were being sent to
DOuay himself. And now German
shells were crashing among the trees
Of the BOis de Garenne. causing such
distress that MHrguerltte's division
was ordered to charge. Marguerite
himself was killed as he rode forward
to recOnnoiter, so Gallifet succeeded to
his command.
"FOr the next half-hOur," says the
Prusslnn account, "the scene defed de-
scriptiOn."
Charging again and again, Gallifet
and his squadrons covered themselves
with glory. They numbered a bare
two thousand sabers, and they were
stOrmed at by terrific artillery fusil-
lade, but their isolated attacks we're
magnificent in courage and so effective
they proved to the experts that the
day of charging by cavalry In mass had
not yet ended.
When Gallifet's horse were exhaust
ed, however, the Germans advanced in
charge which extended over a front
of almost two miles. Wimpffen, In a
desperate counter stroke, cleared the
Germans out of Bazeilles and Balan,
and for the moment the road to escape
seemed open. What Wimpffen did not
know was that another Prussian corps
stood waiting behind the gap.
GallOping back to the town to find
the emperor and lmplore him to put
himself at the head of all available
re-enforcements, Wimpffen was aston
ished to see a white flag displayed
from the church tower. The emperor,
who during the early hours Of the fight
ing had exposed himself fearlessly to
death, had been overcome by physical
pain and exhaustion, had abandoned
hope and had offered his personal sur
render to the king of Prussia, at the
same time ordering the white flag to
be hoisted.
It was torn down at the moment OF
Its appearance by Colonel Fauve, but
1t went up again a short time later
when the Prussians were battering at
the western gate. It remained for
Wimpften only to make terms for the
SUI render of his army. Thus passed
into captivity 72OOO French soldiers
with 55S guns. The cost to the vic
tors for this victory was 1900 men
The French killed and wounded mum
bered 17,O0O 1t is indicative Of the
decentralization among the French that
this figure is 1000 less than the cost

mountebank emperor was done. There
followed dreadful days of the com

Bananas Are Nutritious.

Bananas are always wholesome, nu'

in season, all meat, easy to handle,
good cooked or raw. Nature hermetic-

are produced without drawing on the

thank you for stopping.
Ward found himself dismissed, and,
rather dazed, went down the steps to
the road. But one thing he carried
with him down the hill that night:
II watch your window very often"
The reverend Mr.. Ward left his light
on all Of that night, so fearful was he
that she might look for II, and not find
Il.
And while It burned. under the very
shadow Of Saint Jude's once more the
vault in the basement room at the hall
swung open to EllnOr's practiced fin
gers.
The village rang with the news Of
the outrage the next day. No one had
been hurt, but Jewels Of large value
had been taken.
To Hun and the others, the raid had
been practically a failure. There had
been less than a thousand dollars In
money-not enough to begin negotia-
tIons for Boroday's freedom. 1t began
to look as though the dangerous busi-
ness of selling some of EllnOr's jewels
would have to be resorted to. Leth-
bridge was willing to undertake 1t, try
ing London first and then Paris.
Elinor offered all the diamonds. II
she must keep a part, she would keep
the pearls. Talbot sorted out the
stones to be sold, but left them with
her for safety. She had never cared
for her Jewels. They were not half
so lovely as her fiowers-and she part
ed from them without pang. But
there was one pink pear-shaped pearl
that had come in the night before, that
she would have rather liked to wear.
On Monday afternoon Ward called
on Elinor. The memory Of that short
meeting in the garden had been with
him ever since. There was new light
in his eyes, but she greeted him de
murely, although she flushed with
pleasure.

ALLIES SEARCH FOR
MYSTERIOUS SHIP
IN SOUTH ATLANTIC

Buenos Aires. Jan. 6.-The mysteri-
GUS schooner Tinto, believed to be at
large and in charge OF German crew
bent on preylng upon allied commerce,
has it's headquarters at an uninhabit-
ed island in the southern Pacific. ac-
cording to reliable information"
quoted tonight by the newspaper Ra-
ION. The information, it was said,
came from trustworthy sources in
Chile.
The Tinto, according to this plan, Is
keeping watch for steamer flying
the flag Of one OF the entente nations
which 1t hopes to capture. In such an
event the crew would be transferred
to the Tinto, and the present German
crew aboard the Tinto would take
charge of tho prize and start on a plan
to destroy all allied ships carrying
nitrates necessary in powder making)
from Chile bound to allied ports
1t is stated that because of the fail
ure of the Chilean navy to locate the
Tinto number of British cruisers
| from the F'allslands are now securing
the ocean looking for the vessel.
The Tinto has had an adventurous
| career. She was originally interned
but later put out to sea, being re-
leased, and was reported to have beer

PART OF SECTIONS
IN STATE OF NEVADA
Courts Have Held That the
States Having Greater
Part of Border Sections
Are Entitled to Them or
Land in Lieu Thereof
Situation to Be Investi-
gated.

Idaho stands to recover lands valued
at half a million dollars. which sum
will go into the school fund, II it can
establish its right to school sections
36, part of which are located in the
border state Of Nevada, but the greater
portion in Idaho. J. Fred Williams,
business agent for the department of
education, yesterday addressed q letter
to the state land board calling its at
tention to the states right to these
lands and urging that the state pro-
coed. through the land board. to es-
tablsh it's right.
The discovery that the state had
failed to take possession of these lands
or secure lands in lieu thereof, was
made by L. F. Reinhard, of the ac-
counting firm of l.. F. Reinhard & Co.
who has been spending several months
in the city making a survey of the
books and accounts of state depart
ments. While investigating the land
selection in the land department he as
certained that for some reason the
state had failed to assert its claim to
these school sections,
There is $4,000 acres OF land within
line alone. to say nothing of the sec
tons along the Utah, oregon. Wash
ington, Wyoming and Montana lines.
The tier of townships east and west
across the southern boundary line OF
Idaho bordering on Nevada Is so To-
Gated that the border between these
two states passed through sections So.
which are school lands. About one
third of each section is In Nevada ana
about two-thirds in Idaho.
CLAIM sUBSTANTlATED.
IT is said to be well established by
the rulings OF the interior department
and the courts that where such Il
situation exists with regard to school
lands the state having the greater
portion of the sections within It's bor-
der is entitled to a selection of lieu
lands for the entire section or sections
A case involving lands similarly To-
Gated between Oregon and California
was decided in favor of Oregon, that
state making similar claim to the
one Idaho will make. 1t is also of
record that the attorney generals

a case involving a school section, the
greater portion of which was Id Mon
tana and the lesser portion in Idaho.
that Montana was entitled to the land
or lands in lieu thereof.

1 Sections 1s and SO were given to>the
state by section of the admission
bill, admitting Idaho into the union.
If all of the school sections located
! similarly to those along the Idaho
Montana line were checked up Idaho
might recover many thousands of
acres of land valued in the hundreds
| of thousands of dollars.
1t is understood that the land board
proposes to lay claim to lieu lands
in place of those school sections along
the border of adjoining states.
