ftaIph Carlton returns Unexpectedly
from India, bringing with him a lovely
young bride. TO grace his ancestral ON
IN the village OF Upper Scotney. Hoping
70 relieve his. young wife from the te-
oium or household duties, for which she

ers daughter to rematn in her self-ap-

q! soes happily enough. despite a few
aa,ssereements between the newly mar
comes, from India to visit hem. Sir
hatph objects to the mans somewhat
TOO pointed attentions to his wife and
the visit terminates. very suddenly. That
night the Young wife is found, murdered
IN the sum~rcer-house. On her BOSOM Is
an onlinouS crimson stain Of blood. A

from within" so that in due time it WILDE possible
to swing into line such bodies as the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The movement has already attained consider
has received hearty, assurances Of support from
many states which he names, and it will interest not
a few people in this state to know that North Dakota
is among the number on which this cheerful report
is made.
1t is rather unfortunate that In making his state
ment the secretary failed to name the persons or or
gained bodies from which these expressions Of
sympathy and assurances Of support have come.
However, it is not difficult to guess from what
sources in North Dakota such expressions would
come. Revolution and radicalism have been warm
ly commended by men conspicuous in the affairs OF
North Dakota on too many other occasions to per-
init doubt to exist now as to the source of further
expressions Of this sort.

SOME CONSPICUOUS 1MpoRrAr1oNs.

The administration forces have engaged a group
of speakers for the. remainder of the campaign and
several of these speakers are yimportations with
whose character the public. is already tolcrably ia
miliar. 80
One of the campaigners is Gutzon Borglum.
Mr.. Borglum sprang into notoriety just a few years
ago through sensational charges which he made
concerning the conduct of the aviation enterprise of
the government. He represented himself as a spe-'
cial emissary of President Wilson, and he is now be-
ing advertised in that capacity. The fact is, as was
demonstrated long ago, that Mr.. Borglum had no
commission from President Wilson or any other
person in authority. Of his own motion or perhaps
at the instigation of some private parties of whom
the government had no knowledge, he gathered to-
gether and presented to the government certain
statements of fact concerning aviation, and request
ed that he be allowed to continue his investigation.
He received a letter thanking him for the informa-
ton and expressing willingness to consider anything
which he might submit in the future; but he was
given no commission of any kind, had no authority,
and in no sense did he represent the government i'll
any capacity. What he discovered or pretended to
have discovered in connection with aviation is now
a matter of no consequence; but the fact is that he
misreprescnted the capacity in which he stood to-
ward the government. ~That Misrepresentation. is
being continued, and the man who n1isreprcsents
facts in this manner is employed by the state admin
%istration to bolster up its cause in this campaign.
Another imported campaigner is Frederick C..
Howe of New York, Of whom mention has already
been made from time to time. Mr.. Howe was i'm
migration commissioner in New York and because
of his demonstrated sympathy with radical outlaws
his services with the government became discon-
tinued. This radical sympathizer is another admin
~istration campaigner.
Still another is Glen Plumb, who proposes that
the government shall take over the railroads, that
the employees shall run them, and that the taxpayers
shall pay the bills. The logical conclusion of the
theory upon which Mr.. Plumb operates would be
the, confscation Of every private business i'll the
country; factory, farm, mercantile establishment,
bank-cverything, until the private ownership OF
property would be wiped out.
These are but three of the men who have
achieved some national notoriety who have been ell
gagged: to support the cause of Messrs. Frazier, Lem
Ike and Hagan in this campaign.

CHAPTER xII.-Continued.

This slip he handed to the ~coroner's
clerk. and the clerk passed it on to
the coroner himself, who just glanced
at it and nodded and went on with his
questions to the doctor. In the inter-
val he had been asking him on what
he based his estimate of the length
Of time during which life had been
extinct.
i did not follow his answer, which
had a good many scientific terms in
1t, but kept repeating over and over
in my head in numb way the words
of his conclusion: II should put it
at something like three hours"
II believe that I had a subconscious
conviction that the words meant a
great deal to me even before their

he had q wide experience in dealing

HOMECOMING DAY.

Next Saturday will be Homecoming day at the
University of North Dakota. Since the observance
of this day began it has been a day of pleasant re-
union and recollection. Former students of the in
stitution have awaited themselves of it to revisit the
scenes of earlier days, to recall some of the expert
cnccs OF those days, to mlngle again with compan-
ions from whom they have long been separated, and
to get into touch with the younger generation which
has succeeded them.
The value of such reunions is beyond estimate,
and as the years pass and the number of those who
have been graduated from the university increases,
they become more and more impressive and more
and more valuable.
A college course is not confined to the four
years, more or less, spent in attendance at college
classes and in residence on or near the college cam
pus. The university which measures up to it's OPP
portunities is so conducted that its course becomes
a thing OF a lifetime, and the years spent in residence
merely lays the foundation for an Inspiration and
guidance increasing in force with the years, and
bearing fruit in every department. Of human activity.
The associations formed during college years are
enduring, and those who are privileged to participate
IN these reunions meet, not as strangers, but as
menbersof one body, sharers in the same influences,
and participants in the same continuing enterprise.
The former students who visit the university
on these occasions come for a special purpose, and
with influences surrounding them which those who
have not been their fellow students cannot share ex-
cept as sympathetic spectators. But the people Of
a city where such an institution as the state universe
ty is Situated stand in a peculiar relation to it, and
have their own function to perform. The university
belongs to the people Of the state, but the people Of
Grand Forks are especially privileged because Of
their proximity to it and have a special obligation
with reference to it. It is fitting that proper recog-
milton of this obligation be shown, and that on the
annual Homecoming day the residents of the city
demonstrate by their attendance at the various ex-
ercises their appreciation of its work and their cor
dial fellowship with it.

CARPENTER MAY MAKE
FIGHT TRIP BY WATER
Challenger Considering Advisa.
biIity Of Travelling to Jersey
City in Yacht

New York, June 30.-Georges Car
pentier probably will make the trip to
Jersey City Saturday afternoon by
water. 1t developed today that the
challenger is considering the advisa-
oiiity OF journcying to his trysting place
with Champion Jack Dempsey in a
yacht. Manager Francois Descamps d.
vulged this probability In a conference
with Promoter Tex Richard at Madi-
son Square Garden.
The challenger is devising ways and
means of getting Georges into the bat.
Tie center in the quietest possible man
ner. Just two ways are available for
the French heavyweight. He must
either motor to Boyle's Thirty Acres or
Journey to Jersey City by water, land :
ing from the yacht at a point where an
auto will be waiting.
Just what medium OF transportation
Will be used Is not yet determined The
camp attendants and Manager Des.
camps are eager 10 avoid the crowd
which would follow by auto. and vet
want TO eliminate any danger of delav
from river travel.
Carpenter has been cruising about
Mnnhasset Bay considerably OF late In
the yacht Of friend. and It Is under
stood this yacht has been placed at his
disposal for use In reaching the arena
Saturday afternoon.

PASS MILLION MARK
IN SALE OF TICKETS
Tex Rickard Says Big Fight
Will Go on Exactly at
8 O'clock

New York, June 30.-About ST.
100 900 worth of tickets for the cham
pionship boxing contest in Jersey City
Saturday had been disposed Of up to
this morning, and there was a certainty
that more than GO, 900 persons will be
in attendance, even IL not another one
should buy a place between now and
gong time.
There are still about 10000 seats
available, and while it is almost too
much for Tex Richard to hope that
they will all be sold, It IL by no means
impossible that the entire seating ca
pacity of the octagonal arena-which is
81 ,613-mny be taken up.
There will be a special jail, sort of
"bullpen." erected close by the arena
where all persons offering bad tickets
will be locked up-and there won't be
much chance Of counterfeit getting
past the gate, for an expert engraver
will be at each portal 10 examine and
feel every dubious pasteboard offered
Here Is one sure tip for all purchasers :
II the ticket IL smooth on the back
it's worthless. The real ones are rough
ened by a special process that Is not
easily duplicated. Don't buy a smooth
back or you re completely out Of luck.
The big fight will go on at 3 O'Clock
exactly, It was announced today. The
articles call for that hour and that will
be the precise hour. While there are
six eight-round preliminary contests
scheduled to begin at o'clock. some Of
these will be dispensed with IL neces-
sary, or else instead Of being run rs
prelims, will be run as aftermaths. in
other words, put on after the champion
ship is decided for the benefit Of those
rabid fans who care TO stay along with
the big show.

REAL TRAINING At
END FOR GEORGES.
Challenger Will Only Engage in
Gym Work to Keep Him
on Edge
HIS CONFIDENCE UNSHAKEN

Manhasset. L. l.. June 30.-Georges
Carpenter has completed his real train
ing for the worlds heavyweight title
clash against Champion Jack Dempsey
in the arena on Boyle's Thirty three
Acres, Jersey City, Saturday after
noon.
The French heavyweight, for the two
remaining days of his camp life, will
engage in only slight gymnasium work
and calisthenic exercises. under
schedule calculated to keep him on
edge.
On Saturday Carpenter will do no
work. He will. according to present
plans, lounge about the Matthews Farm
until the start is made for Jersey City
and what fate has in store for him.
Just how he will make the journey to
tie arena is not known.
It has not been definitely decided,
and probably will not be until today,
when the camp family" gathers In
council arranged for the purpose of de-
termining battle plans. What plans
will be followed during the battle are
strictly the property Of Manager
Francois Descamps and Europe's
heavyweight champion.
The challenger boxed four rounds as
part Of his final training fling. This, OF
course. was his most important activity.
He also logged, walked and sprinted
over the roads OF Nassau County for
approximately an hour and quarter In
the morning. His boxing was done in
the opCn afr ring back of the big barn,
and was preceded by punching bag ac-
tvity. and followed by shadow boxing.
rope skipping and floor calisthenics. All
told. he devoted about two hours and n
half to the days training events.
When he had concluded his schedule
Carpenter was feeling in excellent
spirits and was absolutely satisfied with
his condition He still has that su-
preme, smiling, unshaken confidence
which has characterized his later days
In training.
No information was vouchsafed on
the names Of Carpenters partners in
the closing ring workout or the number
of thcm either, for that matter. In
fact, in keeping with the severe privacy
and secrecy of the camp, attempts to
procure the desired information were
discouraged with the simple statement
by Trainer Wilson that I'VE cannot
comment on Georges sparring.'

The strain of working constantly be .

upon the nervous system is enormous.
In this respect Carpenter, or Des.
