WELDER BUILDING
WILL Be REMODELED

VICTORIA, Tex, April 8. - Page
Brothers, architects of Austin, who
made the original plans for the five
story Welder building in this city,
have completed the plans for remodel
ing the first floor of the building so
as to arrange the floor into one large
storeroom with the exception of the
corner quarters occupied by the Vic
toria National Bank.
The first floor as originally design
ed included quarters for two banks
and a dry goods store. The store
room has been vacant for some years
and since the consolidation Of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank with
the Victoria National Bank the quar-
ters provided for il have been used
by Fly and Ragsdale, lawyers, for
their offices.
The enlarged storeroom will be &C.
cupied by the Halter Dry Goods Com
pany, now doing business at the cor
ner of Liberty and Santa Rosa Street,
and Fly and Ragsdale will move their
offices to the second floor Of the Fritz
building on South Main Street, at
present the lodge room of the Elks.
The plans for remodeling the We'll
der building, the finest business build
ing in Texas outside of the large cit
les, provide for a change in practically
the entire ground front as well as in
terror of the building so as to fur
nish quarters for a modern dry goods
department store.
The changed front will include a
large central show window thanked
by two show windows nearly as large
and a spacious vestibule with a tile
floor. The interior will be 60X90 feet,
with provision for rest rooms for both
ladies and gentlemen. The Hallel
Company will also occupy the mezza-
nine floor and basement, giving the
company approximately 1900 square
feet Of floor space.

storm In the Wholdaia Lake country,
and when their fortunes looked dark-
est Carvel stumbled on cabin In the
heart of a deep spruce forest, and in
this cabin there was dead man. He
had been dead for many days, and
was frozen stiff. Carvel chopped a
hole in the earth and buried him.
The cabin was a treasure trove to
Carvel and Baree, and especially to
the man. It evidently possessed no
other owner than the one who had
died; It was comfortable and stocked
with provisions; and more than that,
its owner had made splendid catch
Of fur before the frost bit his lungs,
and he died. Carvel went over them
carefully and joyously. They were
worth thousand dollars at any post,
and he could see no reason why they
did not belong to him now. Within a
week he had blazed out the dead
mans snow-covered trap-line and was
trapping on his own account.
This was two hundred miles north
and west Of the Gray Loon, and with
each day that passed, the sun rose
higher in the sky; it grew warmer;
the snow softened under foot, and in
the air was the tremulous and grow
ing throb of spring. With these things
came the old yearning to Baree; the
heart-thrilling call Of the lonely graves

cabin, the abandoned tepee beyond the

Old Monarchical ldea

The name "Divlne Right of Kings"
is given to a doctrine that was pro-
mulgated in England In the Seven
teenth century. 1t asserted that
kings held their authority by divine
appointment and were earthly repre-
sentatives Of the Deity. This princi-
pie relieved the sovereign of all re-
sponsibility toward his subjects, and
gave him absolute claim to their obe-
dience. The chief defenders of this
dogma were Salmasius, Hobbies and
Sir Robert Filmer; while Milton. Al
gernon Sydney and Harrington were
its Incorporating opponents. The
controversy died natural death on
the accession Of the House of Ham
over. In the Bill of Rights (l6S9) the
right Of the people to depose the SOW
ereign. to alter the order of success
sion, and to confer the sovereignty
on whomsoever they may think prop
er is distinctly set forth.-Kansas

Chapter XVI

A strange humor possessed Carvel
as he began the southwark journey.
He did not believe in omens, good or
bad. Superstition had played q small
part in his life, but he possessed both
curiosity and love for adventure, and
his years of lonely wandering had de-
veloped in him a wonderfully clear
mental vision of things. which In other
words might be called singularly &C.
tive Imagination. He knew that some
irresistible force was drawing Baree
back into the south-that 1t was pull
ing him not only along a given line Of
the compass, but to an exact point in
that line. For no reason in particular
the situation began to interest him
more and more, and as his time was
valueless. and he had no fixed destina-
ton In view, he began to experiment.
For the first two days he marked the
dogs course by compass. 1t was due
southeast. On the third morning Car.
vel purposely struck course straight
west. He noted quickly the change
in Baree-his restlessness at first, and
after that the detected manner in
which he followed at his heels.
Toward noon Carvel swung sharply to
the south and east again. and almost
