Daughter.

THE Chevalier de Frontenac. gov

brown daughter. She was very beau
tifuL Her mother was a squaw; a
woman OF rare, bronze beauty her
self. They had such women among
the Indians in those days. II was in
the latter part of the 1600's. and
Louis XIV, Of France, had sent From
tenac to rule that part OF the New
World known as Konnedieya.
Konnedieya? Never heard Of It |
Why. I am surprised. Canada was
Konnedieya, In the beginning, before
the rasp-like togue of the English
man made the word less beautiful.
Konnedfeya means beautiful water.
This charming nut-brown daughter
was the apple Of the Chevalier de
Frontenac's eye He was a grim,
war-scarred soldier, full fifty years
old, when she came into the world i;
his waistline had vanished and he
was getting gray around the muzzle,
like an old beaver.
As men will do, he laid great plans
for this beautiful creature whose skin
was the color of old gold, and whose
supple well-formed limbs and muscles
had in them the grace and spring of
a panther. She was taught, in her
tender years. by the best tutors to be
found I'm Quebec and Montreal.
IF am correct, as She grew BIT
older. she visited Paris and learned
prayers I'm a French convent The
old chevalier. now called Count de
Frontenac, laid large store in the flu
ture of his daughter. Then fell his
great SORROW
War came between the French and
the Mohawks. These Indians were
brave soldiers. They carried their
war to the very walls of Quebec and
Montreal and for months knocked at
the gates of the greatest cities in
Konnedieya. And somehow, I do not
know exactly how. they managed to
carry Off Frontenac's daughter.
For months he endeavored to get
her back. Offers OF money, offers OF
gay apparel. offers Of fine knives and
other weapons-offers of every kind
failed. Years passed by.
Word came finally out of the forest
that she had become the wife Of
Kiodago, young Mohawk chief. II
was then that Frontenac, seventy
years old now organized an army In
1896. to invade the forest and rescue
his beloved daughter. Soldiers with
strong backs carried the indomitable
old man on a litter.
His guide was an enemy of Kfo-
dago, a man from Flanders-where
peoples grow-who. after a doubtful
record among the whites. had taken
up abode among the Indians. This
man, Hanyost by name. learned that
Kfodago and his bride were In hunt
ing camp on a beautiful lake. They
went there. surprised the camp, and
entered upon a debauch Of wholesale

David Burke, general manager Of the
United States Lines, arriving here to-
day on the Leyiathan, said only wines
would be carried on westward voyages
by the liner, in accordance with the
policy of the ships new owners.
He declared there was no intention OF
selling liquor over open bars nor any
idea of stocking whisky or other spirits.
Wines only will be carried, and the
quantity allowed on each westbound
trip will be determined by the number
of passengers booked for the vessel. y
he said. There viii be conference in
London this week to decide on the
amount per head.
"Tile drinks will be served to pasSen-
gers in their cabins. To obtain the
wine they will have to place an order
with the chief steward, but once IL has
been served, they viii be able to con-
sumo it either in the smoking room or
the dining room We shall be able to
take on only enough supplies at South
ampton or Cherbourg for the westbound
trip, and, not to violate United states
laws all we have on board when we
reach the 12-mile limit will have to be
thrown overheard.
we shall therefore have nothing for
sale on eastbound trips, and whatever
is consumed will have to be brought
aboard by passengers themselves.
so far as the ships medical supply
is concerned, this will only be dispensed
in cases of real emergencies and will
not be given for any slight or imaginary
ailment. We intend to adhere to this
plan."

Tells Experts.

PARIS. April 16.-Dr. Hialmar
Sehacht, chief Of the German repara- =
tions delegation, today definitely re-
tected the recent allied reparations
figures as being beyond Germany's
capacity to pay.
During this mornings session, Dr.
Schacht went over the annuities and the
total amount proposed by the allied
creditor powers in order to support his
contention that they were beyond Ger
nnany,s capacity.
He then was asked what he would
suggest as being within his country's
capacity to pay. The president Of the
ReichSbank said that he would trans
init to the allies what he termed ''sug-
geStions" tomorrow afternoon.
This was said to be a memorandum
OF two typewriter pages setting forth
his estimate OF Germany's maximum
figure and complete table of annui-
ties.
Today,s session opened with the dis
tribution Of table of figures showing
how the creditor nations had arrived
At the proposed annuities This table
had been requested yesterday by DR..
Schacht, who, without discussing the
Total. asked for more light on the in
dividual items.
This began the period of real bar
gaining which will probably result IN
more or less whiting down of the pro-
posed annuities.
