Good Master Indiscretion-I have
found the house which Cook built and
am going to visit 1t tomorrow"
"Yes, yes, of course, that ancient
and interesting Roman building
well, always wanted to see Rou-
mania, and, of course, we shall do
Buda-Pesth going back. BY the way,
do you notice that acrobat playing the
cello over there? Don't turn round
yet. He's been watching you ever
since we sat down just as though he
loved you dearly"
Gavin smoked for little while
without shifting his position in any
way. Presently he said:
II don't know why he should. Un.
less they watched me from London,
which is not improbable, they are
hardly likely to know of my arrival
yet. When you have drunk your cof
fee, well go and take turn on the
Corso. The 'cellist certainly likes me.
l see what you mean"
Half Bucharest seemed to have
focked to the Corso, or public park,
by the time they arrived there. Even
the innumerable gaming tables, which
are the chief fame Of the pretentious
city, were deserted upon such night
as this; while the open-air cafes were
so many illuminated icehouses
thronged by perspiring civilians. and
equally perspiring soldiers, whose talk
began and ended with an anathema
upon the heat. Gavin Ord had travel
ed but little; his one real friend, Ar
thur Kenyon. had already been half
across the world and back; but for
both the interests of this strange
scene, with it's babble of excited
tongues, its Hungarians. Servians.
Bulgarians, Roumanians, and by no
means least numerous, its sallow-
faced Turks, were beyond any within
their experience.
mo wonder the people at the Min
istry tell you to be careful" said Ken
yon amiably, as he pointed to great
Bashi-Bazouk whose very mustache
might have been infammable. 81

rim than that fellow anywhere. And
there are plenty more of the kind. you

"All sham, my dear Arthur. Knives
made in Birmingham and pistols in
Germany! Don't worry your head
about them. We start for Okna at
seven o'clock tomorrow"
"Oh, you've found out where 1t is,
then?'
II wanted to tell you before dinner,
but these fellows were listening.
Cecil Chesny was at the Ministry to-
day and he could not have done more
for me. Okna means a stiff ride into
the mountains and some hunting when
we get there. If the old man, Georges
Odin, is alive, he is at Okna. Our
task is to persuade him that London
is healthier place"
"And the son. this man they call

500 Yards.
In the days whom the buffalo was
found in vast hcrds on the western
plains there wore I~di"ns who, while
riding at gallop. could send an ar
row through buffalo's body. Re.
markable as th!7 archery was, it did
not equal that reached hy the archers
of ancient times. 1t is of record that
the McRaes OF Gairlock, Scotland,
were such skilled archers that they
could hit man at the distance of
500 yards. In 1894 the Turkish ambas.
sador at London shot an arrow in a
field near that capital AIS yards
against the wind.
The secretary Of the ambassador,
on hearing the expressions OF surprise
from the English gentlemen present,
said the sultan had shot 500 yards.
This was the greatest performance of
modern days, but pillar standing on
a plain near Constantinople recorded
shots ranging up to 500 wards. Sir
Robert Ainslic, British ambassador to

he was present when the sultan shot
an arrow 972 Yards.

The insulation on the wire in

Have you any knowledge of that?"
None whatever, but l have heard
Of Count Odins story"
He Is as other young men, / sup
pose; neither better nor worse"
While, for the daughter you love,
you would have chosen just such a
man. Is that so, my lord?"
Here was shrewd hit, going
straight to the heart OF one who, for
fifteen long years, had striven to
shield his daughter from that which
her dead mothers genius had be.
Queathed to her-the life and passion
Of the East; the nomad's craving for
change and excitement; the gilt and
tinsel Of the theatre. Yes, truly, they
had been years of self-sacrifice and
spectre of youth reborn and of ven
geance awake.
"Mr. Ord" he said, "I perceive that
my story Is known to you. Your
judgment of me is what the worlds
judgment would be If half the truth
were known-and, remember, it is
rarely more than half a truth that the
world comes to possess. l am acting,
you say, not from a desire to do the
best for my daughter but to shield
myself. 1t may be so, for men are
blind enough when their own saliva.
ton Is at stake. At the same time,
there are reasons other than these,
and such that you will hardly discov-
er. believe it is very necessary to
Evelyn's happiness that this story
shall be hushed up, for the time being

promises to Count Odin other than
those you know. II his father is still
a prisoner in the mines at Yoliska,
then / will do my best to obtain his
liberty when 1 have assurances that
such liberty will not be used to my
disadvantage or to Evelyn's. I tell
you upon my word as an Englishman
that l am guiltless Of such knowledge.
When he fought with me in Bucharest,
more than twenty years ago. met
him as man of honor and nearly
paid with my life for the folly. They
now assert that my friends laid the
complaint which induced the Rouman-
ian Government to arrest him. I do
not believe 1t to be true. Georges
Odin, the records say, died in the for
tress prison Of Krajova nearly ten
years ago. Prince Charles Govern
ment arrested him, l admit, on the
score of the duel he fought with me;
but they had been trying to arrest him
for many years, and that was their
excuse. OF the rest I knew nothing.
If he is dead"
"My lord, have you taken no steps
to ascertain the truth of his DEATH"
"My solicitors are now making all
inquiries at Bucharest and Krajova."
Il should have thought that solici-
tors were scarcely the people to en-
ploy."
"Who else is to be trusted with
such story as this"

GROUND BURNS IN
CALIFORNIA PARK
Unusual Forest Fire Menaces
Red Wood Preserve.

HERALDSBURG, Cal. June 1.-An
unusual fire, now raging in redwood
grove at Guerneville, near here, is con-
Stunning westover Park, and not only the
big redwoods. but the very ground OF
the park itself
Many years ago the plot which now
constitutes the park was the site OF an
old lumber mill
During the years that the mill oper-
ated the layer of sawdust and old wood
en- refuse became thicker and thicker,
until it reached n depth Of 80 feet.
The action of the elements distntegrat-
ed the wood particles into soil, and
young redwoods sprouted.
OF late years these trees have grown
to large size and the place has become
a park.
About week ago, fire started in the
dry sawdust, and the blaze spread rap
idly.
A savvdust fire is said to be one Of the
, hardest in the world to extinguish, and
the Guerneville fire department has been
unable to cope with the flames.
Several trees have already been under
mined and have fallen.
The sawdust en- top, burning, dries out
that beneath and thus the thirty foot
layer Of decaying wood is gradually eat
ing itself up.
It is thought the fire may burn for q
month or two.

The shortage is seriously interfering

The heav.rst shortage is among eight

to the greatest extent in building.
Some merchants have been without this
size OF nail for months
Wholesale hardware houses in ST
Louis and Kansas City are distributing
their supply 4 reg at q time to their
many customers throughout the state
and even at that they frequently run
short
The strikes in the steel mills and con-
gested freight service are given as the
cause for the shortage.

OF SPAIN
AY BE FIRST
OVISIT ITALY
~ Encyclical Issued by
Pope of International
Importance.
ONE PROTEST SURVIVES

ROME, June 1-An encyclical docu-
ment recently published announcing an
arran cement whereby Catholic sovereigns
win be permitted by the pope to come
to Rome to visit the king Of italy, is
considered one of the most important
that has appeared since the fall Of the
temporal powers.
Indeed, it is only surpassed in i'm
portance by that issued by Pope Plus
x giving Catholics permission to vote
In political elections and serve as depu-
ties IN parliament.
Prior to that the watchword was
'neither electors nor elected" and in
the general elections it was the custom
Of Catholics to send their ballot papers
to the pope as a sign of loyalty.
Ia present document is Of interna-
e1a1 importance while the other was
merely Of national character.
FRANZ JOSEF NEVER
Returned THE VISIT.
The former document forbidding them
to visit Rome had momentous conse-
quence. Emperor Francis Joseph Of Aus
tria despite the alliance with Italy. never
returned the visit King Humbert and
Queen Margherita paid him at Vienna
IN 1881, because the king of Italy in
sisted that the visit take place at the
capital Of united Italy, TO which Francis
Joseph refused.
This incident contributed TO becloud
the Austro-ItaIian relations, which be-
came strained to a menace of war he
tween these two partners in The triple
alliance. Germany is credited with having
interviewed to avert this.
King Carlos Of Portugal. brothe--in-
law Of King Humbert. started on visit
TO the latter at Rome once, but was
stopped at Paris by the threat that If
he continued his journey the elericsls
OF Portugal were ready to Join with the
republicans in his overthrow. King Hum
bert, indignant, thereupon broke of dip
lomatic relations with Portugal.
Word that President Leboudt Of FFsnce
had decided TO visit the Italian sovereign
at Rome in April. 1904. led to the break
ing OF Of diplomatic relations between
the Vatican and France.

Belgium, Spain and Saxonv TO Onfain

These efforts resulted in the encyclical
