CHAPTER XII.
UNDER RUSSIAN RULE.

When Dan found his seat in the
dining saloon, that evening, he
glanced up and down thelongtable
in the hope that Miss Ward and
her father might be among his
rneighbors. But they were not, and
it was not until he was half
through the meal that he deserted
them at one of the tables on the
other side Of the room. At his
own table there were the usual as
sorted types Of the middle class
tourists, his wife and family, most
Of them frankly glad that they
We're homeward bound, with the
greatest part of their pilgrimage

The sea was smooth and the
great boat forged ahead with
scarcely any motion, SO that every
seat was occupied and every one
in good spirits. There was a hum
Of talk and rattle of dishes; the
white coated stewards scuttled
back and forth, and the scene was
as pleasant as the wholesale hui
man consumption of food can ever
be.
Dan went on with his dinner
with one eye on the far table
where Miss Ward and her father
were seated; but his attention was
distracted for a. time by a discus
sion with an Anglomaniac across
the table started as to the relative
merits of England and America,
and to which he could not resist
contributing a few remarks. When
he glanced across the saloon again,
he saw that Miss Ward and her
father were no longer there. How
ever, he finished his dinner with
the comfortable consciousness that
the second class quarters were lin
tied, and. that she could not es-
cape from them except by jumping
overheard and when the meal was
ended, he made his way leisurely
through the lounge and along the
decks in search of her. There
were girls, girls everywhere, but
not the one he sought; and finally,
with a little smile, he mounted the
ladder which led to the after boat
deck.
Already other couples, scouting
about the ship, had discovered the
advantages Of it's dim seclusion,
and most of the benches in the lee
OF the boats and about the little
wireless house were occupied; but,
on that one bench, in the shadow,
of the after life boat, Dan deserted
a solitary figure. He advanced.

The boat was crowded, but he
saw nothing of the black haired
girl, and finally, after finding that
there was no hope of getting a
deck chair, he sought the dining
room steward, got his table ticket,
and made his way back to his
stateroom. But on the threshold
he paused. A mar was lying in the
upper berth, the light at his head
turned on and a paper i'm his hand.
He raised his head and looked
down, at the sound of the door,
and Dad had the impression of a
bronzed countenance. lighted by a
pair Of very brilliant eyes.
"Ah," said a pleasant voice, $50

stranger swung his legs over the
side of the berth and dropped
lightly to the floor. Again Dan had
the impression of the bright eyes
upon him.

SAY GERMANY
| WOULD ANNEX
BALTIC STATES
Frenchmen Regard "Strict-
ly Confidential" Pamph-
let as Proof
(By Associated Press.)

French Front, June 2.-What French
men regard as proof that the German
government has planned to annex the
Baltic provinces of Russia was found
in a German official pamphlet marked
strictly confidential" and found in a
house at Noyon after the German
evacuation of that place. Both German
government officials and German news
papers recently have denied there was
any such plan but the discovery Of
the pamphlet is held here as evidence
to the contrary.
The conclusions summed up in the
pamphlet are:
provinces is German and has been so
ever since the first German colony
migrated there. Tie culture Of the
Lithuanians and Esthonians is also
German. The Baltic provinces are the
most German of all the Russian from
tier territories. The Russian influence
has manifested itself there only as an
element of destruction and decomposi-
ton. 1t has remained purely super
fetal and has been maintained only
by the presence of Russian officials.
Should these disappear the Russian
influence will go with them.
THE country Is almost entirely Pro-
testant and the Lithuanians and
Esthonians are Protestants exactly like
the SCTUldISs OnIy a I6ODI6 ITdCLlOh
besides the Russian officials follow the
Greek Orthodox faith. This Greco
Orthodox fraction, whose conversion
was effected by artifce and force, has
tendency towards Professionalism and
would certainly embrace it If it
possessed liberty of conscience.
THE three provinces are a single
and unique field of civilization; they
should form one unity. The three
provinces form a geographic unity.
Being our immediate neighbors we
could maintain ourselves there much
more easily than in any oversee colony.
THE country is thinly populated and
thus offers considerable opportunities
for immigration. 1t is almost exactly
as extensive as Wurtemburg and
Bavaria together. Its excess Of agri-
culture production is so considerable
that it would make up for the deficit
in the German agricultural products.
The country possesses few railroads
and all other communications are pre-
carious. 1t thus offers vast field of
action to industry and technical
sciences. The administration of the
country presents no difficulty, its
Inhabitants having been for several
centuries accustomed to govern them
selves. s... .-.
"Only the annexation of the Baltic
provinces would give us the mastery
of the Baltic and its commerce."

Heavy Rains Do

The heavy rain storms of We'd

able damage to the roads above

perfectly good ore that had been
stored for safe keeping, awaiting
the top-notch market price fol
metal.
The Chicago Creek road was
badly washed in numerous places.
In certain places along that stream,
gardens and truck patches were
considerably damaged.

rain was not SO heavy but severa

Save Postage Stamps,
Saws Your Uncle Sam

The government printing de-
partment is working night and day
to print the millions of postage
stamps and the new war revenue
stamps, and requests the public
to be economical in the use of
stamps. The fellow. who sticks
two one cent stamps on letter
instead Of one. two-cent stamp is
not a patriot, for he is doubling
the work for the printing depart
ment and wasting Uncle Sans
good paper and mncilage. The
postal department requests the use
of stamps of the largest denomin-
alton, in each instance. Often
times people will literally cover a
package with one and two-cent
stamps.
There are several patriots in
Idaho Springs who have attempt
ed to go Uncle Sam one better by
not aftixing any stamps at all.
Such extreme economy doesn't
pay, for Postmaster Marihugh is
compelled to place such unstamped
letters or postcards in the
''rogue's gallery, and there they
stay, while their senders are
awaiting replies from people who
don't known a letter has been
written. Several such letters are
now on exhibition but will soon
be forwarded to the dead-letter
office.
