CHAPTER III.
The Charming Spy.


 In the days following, Ward Arm strong divided his time between the powerhouse and trips of inspection covering all sections of the valley. He received from an electrical engineer he had met in Havana an assortmen of publications and charts relating 10 sugar culture and electrical milling. Before talking business seriously with the planters he wanted to have their subject so well in hand that he could meet them on their own ground.
 After he felt that this groundwork was reasonably secure he set out on trips each morning to the mill own CTS Most of them listened with out a sign of encouraging response. While he was met with politeness and cour- tesy. a reserve. an intangible uneas-- ness on the part of his hosts soon caused him to suspect that an antag- onistic, active factor was working quietly against him.
 For many days he was denied an explanation; he merely continued from plantation to plantation, wait ing for a chance word to fall.
 His training as an engineer made him rebel at the slack methods and mills. He explained the facts to the owners with a knowledge that they graciously admitted and in the next breath denied, with true Spanish fer vor.
 He was aroused regularly by the cheerful clang of the cathedral gong in the nearby plaza, awakening now from a nights sleep with a new and increasing feeling of vigor. His list of mill owners was checked off, with the two exceptions of Pedro Legarra
 .rwI1T- Ta dor, who had been in Havana on bus mess for the past week
 1t was Pedro Legarra who enlignr- ened him. OpDarently he was well come to the Legarra plantation but had been anticipated. Pedro Legarra, after shaking his hand cordially, led him immediately into the factory
 Legarra was a Cuban of the mod ern stamp, direct in method and out spoken in opinion. His face was tan- ned and friendly. Tiny sun wrinkles spread fan1ike from the corners Of his eyes out upon his cheeks.
 My engines have given perfect satisfa ction for the past fifteen years,- stated Legarra with a touch of pride
 Ward Armstrong cast an apprals- ing glance about him. The mill was not yet in operation as the sugar season had not commenced; so that he was unable to do more than maxe rough guess at the condition of the equipment.

Seagulls Have Wing
 Spread of 7 Feet

Burlington, Vt, Nov. 20.-(A. P)- The herring gulls of Lake Champlain left for the north earlier than usual this fall and observers are wondering whether this means a long winter. The gu1ls are given protection on the Four Brother Islands. where they raise their young, and they are highly valued by the municipality of Bur lington because of their usefulness as scavengers at the outlet of the city sewer in the lake,
 The species of gull seen here is said never to have been found farther south than Albany. N. Y. The islands were purchased by Edward Hatch, of New York, a half century ago for the purpose of protecting the birds. and the Hatch family ever since then has maintained guards to prevent the stealing of eggs and killing of gulls. The average full grown gull here measures between five and seven feet from tip to tip
 The birds shrill cries assist in scar ing poachers away. If the nest of a setting bird is visited, the male gull will attack the intruder with his wings, which can deal a powerful blow Scientists saw that one of the gulls which comes to the islands an- nualIy is more than so years old.

Antelope of Canada
 Saved from Extinction

Lethbridge, Alta, Nov. 20.-Gov- ernment plans to prevent the extinc- ton of antelope in Western Canada are proving successful. and the preserve created at Foremost, Alta, in 1918 with go animals in captivity. now holds 130 head.
 Known as the Nemiskam park, the preserve comprises nine square miles and the steady growth of the herd and the absence Of disease is good ev- idenee that the experiment is likely to result in saving this most interesting species from the extermination which otherwise inevitably awaits 1t.
 Swifter than the greyhound in flight, exceedingly graceful and beautiful, the antelope has for many years been a prize for the big game hunter. and its numbers have been diminishing of late years with a rapidity that mas aroused the concern of all lovers Of wild life
 Ten years ago Dr. W. T. Horna- day, the American naturalist, estimat- ed that there were 2,000 antelope in Western Canada Today there the re- ported t9>be only about 1000 in wild state s--yA1berta. and 250 in Sas- katohewan Rile they entirely disap- Deafed from he province of Manitoba some years aga

THE ROMANCE OF PRINCESS DACMAR
 BEGINS HAPPILY

Copenhaeen, Nov 2O-(A.P.)-The recent announcement of the engage ment of Princess Dagmar, youngest sister of King Christian of Denmark has disclosed a romance between a maid of royal blood and the poor scion of an ancient family.
 The Princess, who is 32 years old, is understood to have been secretly engaged to her future husband, Joer- gen des Castenskiold, for some time. He is a nephew of Grevenkop de Cas- tenskiold, until recently the Danish ambassador to the Court of St. James.
 The engagement was officially an- nounced late in October at Egelund, the summer residence of Dowager Queen Louise, mother of the Princess. in the presence of King Christian and bers of the royal family and those of the de Castenskiold family were present.
 Queen Louise rose at the end of the dinner and said: 'It gives me great pleasure to announce the en- gagement of my beloved daughter. Dagmar, to Joergen de Castenskiold. May God bless them both-"
 The Queen then beckoned to MT. de Castenskiold. He went to the Queen, who kissed him on the cheek, and then King Christian shook him heartily by the hand.
 There was special warmth in the congratulations of Prince Aage, who himself a few years ago married a '"commoner," the beautiful daughter of Count di Calvi, the Italian minis ter to Denmark. Before obtaining King Christians consent, Prince Aag'e had to resign all claims to the Danish throne.
 The marriage of the Princess is to take place the end of November. Wealthy members of the family have presented the prospective bridegroom with an extensive estate in North Jutland. and it is understood that Queen Louise has given the young a year, for young de Castenskiold is only a sa1aried men. He was for merly an officer of the Kings Guards, and later assistant manager of 8 sal m an fishing enterprise in Alaska.
 King Christian made it a condition, before giving his consent to the mar riage, that the couple must have country estate,
