When you see the Carteigjtr gliding along, noiselessly, over any road you'll see why its drivers are sO'ehthusiastic,

The friction transmission is controlled with one lever. It gives any num­ber of speeds. There are no gears—just a fibre faced wheel running against a tiriction disc. This eliminates jerks in starting. This remarkable simpli­city makes disorders practically impossible.

This transmission gives a pulling power that will take the cir easily through bad, muddy and sandy roads and even up /)0 per cent grades.

With the chain in oil drive there is no waste of power. The self starter makes starting easy. Tliree «tron» brakes give absolute safety under any conditions. Many other features just as good.

Enid Maitland. a frank, fre« and, un­spoiled young Philadelphia girl, ia taken ro the Colorado .mountains By* her uncle, Hob€rt' Maitland, Jamee Armstrong, i«tfaltland> prongs, falls ,In lo,yft.wAtli bar.

C r t A P t t r t 11—(Continued). , '.'And by what right did you take tbat one?" haughtily demanded the outraged young woman, looking at blm beneath level brows' while «the color slowly receded from her face. 8he bad never been kissed by a man other than a blood relation lb ber ttfe-*~remember, suspicious reader, that she was from Philadelphia,—and she resented this sudden and unau­thorized caress with every atom and instinct of her still somewhat conven­tional being.

"But aren't you half way engaged to me?" he pleaded in justification, see­ing the unwonted seriousness with which she had received bis impudent advance. "Didn't you agree to give me a chance?"

"I did nay that I liked you very much/ ' she admitted, "no man better, and that X thought that you might—"

"Well , then—" he began. But she would not be interrupted. "I did not mean that you should en­

joy all tbe privileges of a conquest be­fore you had won me. I wi l l thank you not to do that again, sir."

"It seems to have had a very dif­ferent effect upon you than it does •upon me," replied the man coolly. "I loved you before, but now, since I have kissed you, I worship you."

"it hasn't affected me that way," re­torted the girl promptly, her face still frowning and indignant. "Not at all, and—"

"Forgive me, EnldV' pleaded the other. "I just couldn't help it. You were so beautiful 1 had to. I took the chance. You are not accustomed to our ways."

' "Is this your habit in your love af­fairs?" asked the girl swiftly and not without a spice of feminine malice.

"I never had any love affair be­fore," he replied with a ready mascu­line mendacity, "at least none worth mentioning. But you see this Is the west; we have gained what we have by demanding every inch that nature offers, and then claiming the all. That's the way we play tbe game out here and that's tbe way we win."

"But I have not yet learned to play the 'game/ as you call it, by any such rules," returned the young woman de-

; terminedly, "and it la not the way to win me if I am the stake,"

"What Is the way?" aeked the man anxiously. "Show me and I ' l l take It no matter what its difficulty."

"Ah, for me to point out the way would be to play traitor to myself," she answered, relenting and relaxing a little before his devoted wqoing.

*"You must find it without assistance. I can only tell you one thing."

"And what is that?" "You do not advance toward the

goal by such actions as those of a moment since."

"Look here," said the other sudden­ly. "1 am not ashamed of what I did, and I'm not going to pretend that I am, either."

"You ought to be/' severely. "Well , maybe so, but I'm not; 1

couldn't help it any more than I could help loving you the minute X saw you. Put yourself In my place."

"But I am not in your place, and X can't put myself there. I do not wish to. If it be true, as pou say, that you have, grown to—care so much for me and so quickly—" ^

"If it be> true?" came the sharp in* terruptlon as the man bent toward her, fairly devouring her with bis bold,

. ardent gaze. .,<,,.. . ; ; ; . . ^ , "Well , since i t Is true," she admit-

ed under the compulsion of hie pro­test "That fact is the only possible excuse for your action."

"You find some Justification for me, then?"

"No, only a possibility, but whether Jtifee fcrue-or not. I do not feel that way-r^yet."

There was a saving grace in that last wordy which gave him a little heatt. He would have spoken, but sue suffered no interruption, saying:

"I have been .wooed before, but—'' "True, unless the human race has

become suddenly blind/' he said softly under his breath.

"But never in such ungentle ways/ "I suppose you have never run up

against a real red-blooded man like me before."

"If red-blooded be evidenced mantty by lacking of self control, perhaps 1 have hot. Yet there are men that 1 have met that would not deed to apol­ogize for their qualities even to you, Mr . James Armstrong."

"Don't say tha t Evidently 1 make but poor, progress in «ny wooing Never have I met with a Woman like ybnM**~and soma of h

The difference between their years was not quite so great as he declared, but womanlike the girl let the state­ment pass unchallenged.

"And I wouldn't insult your Intel­ligence by saying you are the only woman that I have ever made lqye to, but there is a vast difference between making love to a woman and loving hue. I have just found that out for the first time. I marvel at the past, and I am ashamed of It, but X thank Ood that I have been saved for this op­portunity. { want to win you, and X am going to do it, too. In many things I don't match up with the peo­ple with whom you train. I was born out here, and I've made myself. There are things that have happened in the making that I am not especially proud of, and X am sot at all satisfied with the results, especially since 1 have met you. The better X know you the-less pleased X am with Jim Arm­strong, but there are possibilities in me, I rather believe, and with you for inspiration, Ood!"—the man flung out his hand with a fine gesture of de­termination. "They say that the east and west don't naturally mingle, but It's a l ie; you and I can beat the world."

The woman thrilled to his gallant wooing. Any woman would have done so; some of them would have lost their heads, but Enid' Maitland was an exceedingly cool young person, for Bhe was not quite swept off her feet, and did not quite lose her balance.

"I like to bear you say things like that," she answered. "Nobody quite like you has ever made love to me, and certainly not in your way, and that's the reason I have given you a half way promise to think about It. I was sorry that you could not be with us on this adventure, but now 1 am rather glad, especially if the even temper of my way is to be interrupted by anything like the outburst of a few minutes since."

"I am glad, too," admitted the man "For I declare I couldn't help it. If X have to be with you either you have got to be mine or else you would have to decide that It could never be, andv

then I'd go oft and fight it out." "Leave me to myself," said the girl

earnestly "for a little while; it's best so; I would not take the finest, noblest man on earth—"

"And I am not that." "Unless I loved him. There Is some­

thing very attractive about your per­sonality; I don't know in my heart whether It is that, or—"

"Good," said the man, as she hesi­tated. "That's enough." He gathered up the reins and whirled his horse suddenly in the road. "I am going back. I'll wait for your return to Denver, and then—"

"That's best," answered the girl. She stretched out her hand to him,

leaning backward. If he had been a different kind of a man he would have kissed it; as it was he took it in his own hand and almost crushed it with a fierce grip.

"We'l l shake on that, little girl," he said, and then without a backward glance he put spurs to his horse and galloped furiously down the road.

No, she decided then and there, she did not love him, not yet. Whether she ever would she could not tell. And yet she was half bound to him. The recollection of bis kiss was not al­together a pleasant memory; he had not done himself any good by that bold assault upon her modesty, that reckless attempt to rifle the treasure of her lips. No man had ever really touched her heart^aithough many had engaged her interest. Her experience therefore was not definitive or con­clusive. If she had truly loved James Armstrong, in spite of al l that she might have said,'she would have thrilled to the rofhembrance of that wild earless. The chances, therefore, wore somewhat heavily against him that morning as he rode down the trail alone.

His experiences In love affairs were much greater than; hers.

what troubled present aspect. She threw off her preoccupation Instantly and easily, however, and joined read­i ly enough in the merry conversation of the way.

Mr. Robert Maitland, as Armstrong has said, had known him from a boy. There were things in his career of which Maitland did not and could not approve, but they were of the past, he reflected, and Armstrong was arter all a pretty good sort Mr. Maitlands standards were not at all those of his Philadelphia brother, but they were very high. His experiences of men had been different; he thought that Armstrong, having certainly by this time reached years of discretion, could be safely entrusted with the precious treasure of the young girl who had been committed to his care, and for whom his affection grew as his knowl­edge of and acquaintanceship with her Increased.

As for Mrs. Maitland and the two girls and the youngster, they were Armstrong's devoted friends. They knew nothing about his past, indeed there were things in It of which Mait­land himself was Ignorant, and which had they been known to him might have caused him to withhold even his tentative acquiescence In the possibili­ties.

Most of theae thinat were known to old Kirkby, who with masterly ski l l , amusing nonchalance aad amaz­ing profanity, albeit most of?it under his breath l i s t he shock the ladles, tooled along tbe four nervous, excited bronchos that drew the big supply wagon. Kirkby was Maitland'* oldest and meat valued friend. He had been the letter's deputy sheriff, he had been a cowboy and a lumberman, a mighty hunter and a successful miner, aad now,,although he had acquired.a reasonable competence, and had a nice little wife and a pleasant home In the mountain village i t the.entrance to the canon,, he drove stage for pleas­ure rather than for profit He had given over his dally twenty-five mile jaunt from Morrison to Troutdftle to other hands for a short space that he might spend a little time with his old friend aad the family who were an greatly 'attached to him on this outing.

Enid Maitland, a girl of a kind that Kirkby had never seen before, had won the old man's heart during the weeks spent on tbe Maitland ranch. He had grown fond of her, and he did not think:that Mr, James Armstrong merited that which he evidently so overwhelmingly desired* Kirkby was well along In years, but he wm, quite

The Story and the Letters. Imagine, if you please,. the forest

primeval; yes, the murmuring pines and the hemlocks of the poem as well, by the side of a rapidly rushing moun­tain torrent fed by the eternal snows of the lofty peaks of the great range. A level stretch of grassy land where a mountain brook joined the creek was dotted with clumps of pines and great boulders rolled down from the everlasting bills—half an acre of open clearing. On the opposite side of the brook the canon wail rose almost sheer for perhaps five hundred feet, ending in jagged, needle-edged pin­nacles of rock, sharp, picturesque and beautiful. A thousand feet above ran the timber line, and four thousand feet above that the crest of the great­est peak in the main range.

The white tents of the little encstnp-ment which bad gleamed so brightly in the clear air and radiant sunshine of Colorado* now stood dim and ghost­like in the red reflection of a huge campflre. It waa the evening of the first day in the wilderness.

For two days since leaving the wagon, the Maitland party with its long train of burros heavily pacfed, its horsemen and the steady plodders on foot, had advanced Into unexplored and almost Inaccessible retreats of the mountains)—Into the primitive In* deed! In this (delightful spot they had pitched their tents and the perma­nent camp had been made. Wood was abundant, the water at hand was as cold as Ice, as clear as crystal and as soft as milk. There was pas­turage for the horses'and burros oa the other side of the mountain brook. Tbe whole place was a little amphi­theater which humanity occupied per­haps the first time since creation.

Unpacking the burros, setting dp the tents, making the camp, building the fire, had used up tbe late remain­der of the day which was theirs when they had arrived. Opportunity would come tomorrow to explore the coun­try, to climb the range, to try the stream, that tumbled down a succes­sion of waterfalls to the right of the camp and roared and rushed merrily around its feet until, swelled by tbe volume of the brook, It lost itself in tfee-^ad depths far beneath.

But up there in the wilds she had eaten the coarse homely fare with the zest and relish of the most seasoned ranger of the hills. Anxious to be of service, she had burned her hands and smoked her hair and scorched her face by usurping the functions of the young ranchman who had been brought along as cook, and had actually fried the bacon herself! Imagine a goddess with a frying pan! The black thick coffee and the condensed milk, drunk from the granite ware cup, had a more delicious aroma and a more delight­ful taste than the finest Mocha and Java in the daintiest porcelain of France. Optimum condlmentum. The girl was frankly ravenously hungry, the air, the altitude, the exertion, the excitement made her able to eat any­thing and enjoy It.

She was gloriously beautiful, too; even her brief experience in the west had brought back the missing roses to her cheek, and had banished the bistre circles from beneath her eyes. Robert Maitland, lazily reclining propped up against a boulder, his feet to the fire, smoking an old pipe that would have given his brother the nor-rors, looked with approving com­placency upon ber, confident *nd sat­isfied that his prescription was work­ing well. Nor was he the only one who looked at her that way. Marlon and Emma, his two daughters, wor­shipped their handsome Philadelphia cousin and they sat one on either side of her on the great log lying between the tents and the fire. Even Bob Junior condescended to give her ap­proving glances. The whole camp was at her feet. Mrs. Maitland had been greatly taken by her young niece. Kirkby made no secret of his devotion, Arthur Bradshaw and Henry Philips, each a "tenderfoot" of the ex­tremist character, friends of business connections in the east, who were spending their vacation with Mait­land, ahared Iq the general devotion; to say nothing of George the Cook and Pete, the packer and horse wrangler.

Philips, who was an old acquaint­ance of Enid'8, had tried his luck with her back east and had sense enough to accept as final his failure. Brad­shaw was a solemn young man with­out that keen sense ot humor which was characteristic of the west. The others were suitably dressed for ad­venture, for Bradshaw's Idea of an ap­propriate costume was distinguished chiefly by long green felt puttees which swathed his huge calves and excited curious Inquiry and ribald comment from the surprised denizens of each mountain hamlet through which they had passed, to all of which Bradshaw remained serenely oblivious. The young man, who does enter espe-

da l ly Into tat* tale, waa a vestryman of the church In his home fn the suburbs of Philadelphia. His piety had been put to a severe strath in the mountains, _

Tbat day everybody had to work on the trail—everybody wanted to for that matter. Tbe hardest labor con­sisted In tbe driving of the burros. Unfortunately there was no good and trained. leader among them through an unavoidable mistake, and the camp, era had. greet difficulty in xeepto*tbe burros on the trail. To Arthur Brad* shaw had been allotted the most Ob­stinate, cross-grained and determined of the unruly band, and old Kirkby an4 George paid particular attention to Instructing him in the gentle*art of manipulating him over the rocky mountain trail,

"Wall ," said Kirkby with his soma* what languid, drawling, nasal voice, "that there burro's like a ship w'tch I often seed 'em w'e'svl was a kid down east afore 1 come out to Clod'*, coun­try, Nature has pervlded 'em with a

Arthur faithfully followed direc­tions, narrowly escaping the outraged brute's small but sharp pointed heels on occasion. His efforts not being productive of much success, finally in his despair he resorted to brute strength; he would pick the little ani­mal up bodily, pack and all—he was a man of powerful physique—and swing him around until his head pointed In the right direction; then with a prayer that the burro would keep It there for a few rods anyway, ho would set him down and start him al l over again* Tbe process oft repeated became mo­notonous after awhile. Arthur was a slow thinking man, deliberate in ac­tion ; he stood it as long as he possibly could. Kirkby, who rode one horse and led two others, and therefore waa exempt from burro driving, observed him with great interest He and Brad­shaw had strayed way behind the rest of the party.

At last Arthur's resistance, patience and piety, strained to the breaking point, gave way suddenly. Primitive Instincts rose to the surface and over­whelmed him like a flood. He de­liberately sat down on a fallen tree by the side of a trail, the burro halt­ing obediently, turned and faced him with hanging head, apparently con­scious that he merited the disappro­bation that was being heaped upon him, for from the desperate tender­foot there burst forth so amazing, so fluent, so comprehensive a torrent of assorted profanity, that even the old past master In objuration was aston­ished and bewildered. Where did Bradshaw, mild and Inoffensive, get it? His proficiency would have ap­palled his rector aad amazed bis fel­low vestrymen. Not the Jackdaw of RheJms himself was so cursed as that little burro. Kirkby sat on bis horse in fits of silent laughter until the tears rah' down his cheek, the only outward and visible expression of his mirth. > Arthur only stopped when he had thoroughly emptied himself, possibly of an accumulation of years of repres­sion.

"Wall ," said Kirkby, "you sure do overmatch any one I ever heard Wen it comes to cursln'; w'y, you could gimme cards an' spades an' beat me, an' I was thought to have some gift that-a-way In the old days."

"1 didn't begin to exhaust myself/' answered Bradshaw, shortly, "and what I did say didn't equal tbe situa­tion. I'm going home."

"1 wouldn't do that," urged the old man, "Here, you take the horses an* I'll tackle the burro."

"Gladly," said Arthur. "I would rather ride an elephant and drive a herd of them than waste another min­ute on this Infernal little mule."

The story was too good to keep, and around the camp fire that night Kirkby drawled it forth. There was a freedom and easiness of intercourse In

. the camp, which was natural enough. Cook, teamster, driver, host, guest, men, women, children, and 1 had al­most said burros, stood on the same level. They all ate and lived together. The higher up tbe mountain range yon go, the deeper into the wilderness yon plunge, the further away from the conventional, yqu: draw, the more homogeneous becomee society and the less obvious wfa the irrational aad us> •etefltHJc dtsttectfofie of the lowlands.

It was very pleasant lounging around the camp fire and one good story easily led to,another.

ed down from one generation to another. They consisted largely of roots, baxht, herbs aud the like that could be found in the fence corners, along the roadside or in mother's garden, and were gathered when i n cer­tain etages of growth. Has the use of these old-fashioned medicines gone not, to return ? No.

The old motherly practice hag disappeared, hut I find the same simples are used by our most intelligent physicians and Kept for £ale i n most drug stores. —

Dandelion, tansy and pokeweed are often prescribed for the same disorders that our mothers prescribed them. Oh, no, not by the ©Id names, but under certain cabalistic characters, which the chemist under­stands, but the reading of which would sound learned and potent to ns laymen, i f patieuts.

I have often seen near Garfield park, on vacant lots, m masses of sweet clover, many of these medicinal plant*, aJso i n the gardens and waste places on the outskirts of the citv.

These same simples are the bases of mWi of our beet cough and vege­table compounds, but instead of being made from good American plants they are generally manufactured from costly imported products. Why? 1

Because the city man out of a job does not realize how money is planted nnder the roote of these plants; because the boy or gi r l l iving in the sub­urbs does not know 3iow to recognize the*e plants except as weeds and has never been taught when to liarvest them.

During the last quarter of a century I have been watching with interest the growth and improvements made in our great city. Mont of the improvements have been in ridewulk=, streets, buildings, trans­portation and communication, al l of which have l>een advantageous to commerce, while at the, same time in a subordinate way to all tlie people.

O n the other hand, I regret to say that my observation lias led me to conclude that this city, as well as many others, has been neglectful of one filing which is of para-] mount importance to the health and happi­

ness of her entire population, and that is suitable public comfort stations conveniently located and distinctly prominent.

For neglect in this.respect is the primary cause of multitudinous a i l ­ments, and among them are headache, indigestion, Blight 's disease of the kidneys, rheumatism and so forth. I do not deem it honorable for my-eeff, as a medical man, to remain silent on this most important question.

Ci ty authorities should see that public health and comfort stations be installed as rapidly as possible, designated by understandable signs, and they should advertise the locations in our public newspapers.

Not more than one person in a hundred in the city of Chicago knows of our excellent, finely equipped public comfort station situated in the Ci ty hal l at Washington and Lasalle streetg.

The real object in education is to cul t i ­vate i n the child a capacity for self-control or gelf-gdvernment; not a habit of submis­sion to an overwhelming, arbitrary, exter­nal power, but a habit of obeying the dic­tates of honor and duty, as enforced by active Willi power within the child. I n child­hood and i n youth it is of the utmost im­portance to appeal steadily and almost ex-

flWld * 3 l l t V clusively to motives which w i l l be operative in after life. In too much of our sys­tematic education we appeal to motives which we are^^flre^cannot last; to motives which may answer for little children of

By DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT

K\V methods of warfare and new aims have been intro­duced Into the industrial world by syndicalism. In the United States'most people made their

first acquaintance with it through the strikes at Lawrence, Mass., and at Pater son, N . J . Even then they learned little of its principles. Yet many students of the labor questions believe that those principles will have to be reckoned with more and more. Therefore an account is given here of syndicalism up to date.

In an address delivered before the Sociological society in England a few days ago A. J. Balfour declared that syndicalism has been brought into be­ing by the apparent failure of the par* 1 i amen tar y system.

"It is a pathetie fact," he said, "but . many of the most earnest men of Eu­rope regard the representative sys­tem as almost played out. It is pa­thetic when you think with what high hopes each successive development of tbe representative system has started out."

Sjftidfcalists have given up all hope of attaining their ends through par­liamentary or legislative action and look to other means for securing so­cial reforms.

Direct action is the epitome of the syndicalist platform: You want some­thing? If you are strong enough to compel the people to give it to you. take' i t Syndicalists do not preach plunder, neither do they say: If ydu want something, ask' for it. No. You must demonstrate that unless a cer­tain thing you desire is given to you.

.you are in a position to destroy "pas­sively" property equal or superior in value to that certain thing.

Mow the Idea Works Out. Every striker knows that and the

idea is not original. What is original, however, is the application of this principle to* every act of civic life.

Syndicalists are modem if anything. They do not believe in a millenium in which love and brotherhood will be the only motives of human action. On the'other hand, they refuse to share the_anarchist*s scorn for modern civ-ftjzatfcn^amt-hhr hankefing-foT^TTT* turn to nature. They are practical and businesslike. The past Is dead -and the future is unknown. The im­mediate needs of the present hour are to them the sole object of Interest.

Consider now the application of the syndicalist theory.

The primary aim of labor unions Is to have the work of the world done by their members only; secondly, they are trying to keep out of their ranks as many workingmen as possi­ble, so that their members will And employment all the year round; final­ly, they wisfi to secure for their ployed members the highest

not only been stimulated by this gos­pel and led by its '--kief representa­tives, Tom Mann, Ben Tillett and others, but from tbe very first they have been an actual application of the new Idea and have marked a long step toward the complete reorganization of the British unions.

They were started with the seamen's strike in June, 1911, when the dockers in many places struck in sympathy, at the same time adding demands of their own. When the seamen won their strike they refuse* o go back to work at several places until the dockers re­ceived what they were striking for. With the dockers were involved team­sters. The railway strife was largely due to the fact that tbe railway unions* decided to co-operate with this federa­tion.

It Invented Sabotage. If the syndicate Is not strong enough

to win a strike, or if as it has hap­pened several time in France the gov­ernment interferes and fills with sol­diers the places left vac-ant by strik­ers, the workingmen are directed to give in, resume work and begin a new form of strike, sabotage.

The word "sabotage" wzs coined in 1894 by Pouget, the most powerful French organizer. Sabotage never was generally or effectively applied until a year ago, when the French railroad men lost their big strike. Tbe strike only lasted three days. Then Premier Briand issued an order making every railroader a reservist, and all went back to work as soldiers, some 3.500 of them were discharged and then the silent strike began; sabotage was kept up until every one of the 3,500 employes had been reinstated.

Every man began to discharge his duties In strict accordance with tbe letter of the rules. Railroad men acted like the Chinese tailor who had been commissioned by a foreign con­sul to make a duplicate1 of a suit of clothes given him as a model and who carried out his instructions exactly— so exactly. In fact, that a patch on the trousers, a torn belt on the waist­coat and two grease spots on the coat were carefully duplicated on the new garment.

Station men would work faithfully until the precise minute when they were supposed to quit, and then allow a freight car they had.been moving to crash to the bottom of an incline or to obstruct the path of incoming trains. Repair gangs would keep on repairing the track in front of a limited, delaying

Alphonse Steele of Lone Star State Tells of Battle That Won Inde­

pendence for Texas.

The celebration of the anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto ^as an!* event of special significance ' to A l -phonse Steele of Mexia, Texas, who ia tbe sole survivor of the little army of Tezans who. commanded by General Sam Houston, met and crushed com­pletely tbe overwhelming force o f Mexican soldiers upon that batlefield.

When only 17 years old, Steele left Hardin county. Kentucky, where he> was born, and went down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers In a boat to> Lake Providence. LA., where be work­ed until November, 1835, when her joined a company of volunteers, com­manded by Captain Daggett and marched to Old Washington, Texas.

It was found on reaching that place> that Texas bad not yet declared her independence, and the company of soldiers disbanded. Steele remained in Washington until the Declaration of Independence was signed, where­upon be immediately started for San Antonio to join Travis and aid in de­fending the Alamo. While on bis* way be learned that the Alamo had fallen.

In company with other patriots he then preceded down the Colorado river and joined the army which Gen­eral Houston was gathering about him. As General Houston and his gathering force of patriots and ad­venturers moved onward toward the Buffalo bayou and the San Jacinto river. General Santa Ana and his army followed closely, hoping to get the Texans in a close position and make an attack.

The Texas army found itself In a cornered position on April 21, 1S36, and In order that It might be a fight to the death tbe only bridge leading across the water course over which retreat might be made was destroyed by order of General Houston. Mr. Steele gives an interesting description of the battle of San Jacinto, which took place on that day. He says:

"After dinner on April 21 Santa for an hour and disorganizing the [Ana, who was close upon us, received

salary for the shortest possible day's work.

When fighting for recognition of their unions or for higher pay union men confer and sign agrements with their employers, thereby recognizing them formally.

Work for Al l , No Employers. Syndicates, on tbe Other hand, wish

to secure employment for every hu­man being willing to earn a livelihood. Their primary aim is so to shorten the working day so that there shall not be any workers out of employ­ment. Secondly, regarding ' the em­ployers as mere parasites, they aim at driving them out by demanding a steadily higher wage until the work­ers receive the fall value of their labor. They : ever confer with em­ployers and never sign any agree­ments with them.

One labor union can only admit men belonging to one craft Locomo­tive engineers, telegraph operators and ticket agents may be working for tbe same railroad, but cannot belong to the same union.

Syndicates, on the contrary, bind all workers in one solid union, divided up for local convenience into groups of more closely allied interests. Take, for instance, the employes of a steel mill. According to the union system steel workers, machinists, truckmen, stationary engineers. blacksmiths, should belong to different groups. A syndicate would admit* every one em­ployed in the mill, from the janitor to the foreman, from the office boy to the stenographer.

Finally the labor unions have re­duced to the strictest minimum the number of apprentices. Syndicalists of France, Italy, England and Amer­ica agree on calling this a crime against the rights.of the individual. As Haywood put it:

See Evil of Trade Union Rules. "The penitentiaries of this country

and of Europe are filled with young boys whom unions have prevented from learning an honest trade.1'

The antagonism between syndical­ists and union laborers is well illus­trated by the fact that in Scranton, Pa., union men have been helping the police in breaking a strike organized by syndicalists.

It can easily be seen what, tremen­dous power syndicates may wield ow­ing to this system of organization. Should only one class of employes, say the spinners, Walk out of a wool­en mill, production would be at a standstill until the strike was, ove^ri Whether .the " ^ ' however'^t da

it schedule, or else let it pass over a stretch of unfastened rails, and conse­quently sink Into the roadbed.

What distinguishes syndicalists from unionists and socialist is their absolute internationalism. Socialists are naturally suposed to be citizens of the world, but whenever there ap­pears a war cloud on the horizon French and German socialiFts wilt very speedily under the pressure of public opinion and join the bellicose chorus of patriots.

Would Abolish War. Syndicalists, on the contrary, try to

get together and to avert the war peril by threatening their governments with reprisals in the form of a strike or a civil war.

A good example of this method of proceeding was the syndicalist meet­ing held in Paris last August, when France. Germany, England and Spain seemed on the point of drawing swords over the Moroccan imbroglio. Schmidt, Bauer and Silberschmidt speaking in behalf of the German, Barris and Negre of the Spanish. Koltheck of the Dutch, Tom Mann of the English. Yvetot, Savoie and Merrheim of tbe French syndicalists, declared that their constituencies were absolutely opposed to war, and proclaimed the brother­hood of European workingmen.

A month before Yvetot, the secre­tary of the Associated Labor Council of France, had been invited to address the Berlin syndicalists. His speech, the importance of which was fully ap­preciated by the imperial government, which ordered him to be immediately expelled, contained among other things the following remarks addressed to the French and German governments:

"Just try once, you blockheads, to stir up one people against the other, to arm one people against the other; you will see if the people won't make an entirely different-«se of the weap­ons, you put into their hands. Wait and see if. the people don't go to war •against an entirely .different enemy than you expect."

Rght Militarism. The French and Italian syndicalists

are fighting militarism with tooth and nail, for a standing army is an ever present danger in case of strikes.

As early as 1903 the government of Holland broke a general strike by tbe use of the army to operate tbe rail­roads, and the same thing was done in Hungary in the following year. In­deed, these measures had such success that the Hungarian government went further two years later and took away the right of organization from the agri­cultural laborers, while at the tame time It used the army as strike break­ers In harvest time and made perma­nent arrangements for doing this In a similar contingency in the future.

Syndicates conduct In all barracks an active underground propaganda by means of small pamphlets easily con­cealed In the pocjtft As a result of

about 500 additional troops under com­mand of General Cos. We received orders to prepare for battle. We ad­vanced upon the Mexicans in the fol­lowing order: Houston, with his artil­lery, in the center; the cavalry on the right and Colonel Sherman with his troops on our left. The Mexicans had thrown up breastworks out of their baggage about 100 yards south of a belt of timber, where they had sta­tioned their artillery.

"Santa Ana's right wing was placed in a thick grove of timber. When we got up pretty close General Houston sent word to Colonel Sherman to at­tack this position. We were ordered to move forward and hold our fire un­til orders were given. When we got within sixty or seventy yards we^were ordered to fire.

'Then al l discipline so far as Sher­man's troops were concerned was at an end. We were all firing as rapidly as possible and the man who first got

We Were Al l Firing as Rapidly <*s Possible.

(Copyright, by W. O. Chapman.) I made the acquaintance of Sir John

Trefeenna jcoen that well-known Brit­i sh scientist was visiting New York In company with his wife. He was seized with a severe attack of appen­dicitis, and it was to an operation performed by me at the eleventh hour that he owed his recovery. We grew tp be warm friends, having discovered that we had many* tastes In common; among others, a liking for exploring the mysteries of the skies. For Tre-genna was a noted astronomer, and the proud possessor of one of the larg­est telescopes in England.

During the following year I gave up practise, except in cases where I was called in consultation. I had resolved on taking a good long rest, and paying a promised visit to Tregenna. He and his wife were then at their London residence, and I was surprised and pleased to find that Sir John num­bered among his intimate friends si former great chum of mine—Dr. Hor­ace Collett. The latter had studied medicine with me, but later had set­tled In London, where his brilliant tal­ents and American push earned him a place in the front rank of the British medical fraternity. He was the Tre­gennas' family physician and was much esteemed by them. Sir John had been married several years, but had no children. This fact might pos­sibly account for the gloom which oc­casionally overshadowed his features, for he owned a large property in Corn­wall bearing the name of Tregenna Manor, and as this was, according to English law, strictly entailed, it would go to a distant branch of the family If he died without issue.

About this time a total eclipse of the sun was expected to take place In Ceylon and Southern India. Hav­ing never seen the great world of light under these interesting circumstances, I gladly accepted an invitation from Tregenna to join a party of solar spec-"troscopists who were starting for In­dia under his leadership. We arrived at our destination in good time, and had the satisfaction of witnessing a total eclipse of nearly six minutes' du­ration. Having made our observations In the hill country, we immediately afterward started for the coast. On a certain intensely hot night Tregenna and I were standing on the veranda outside one of the big hotels at Mad­ras, when he said abruptly:

."I am rather worried about my wife, Halifax."

"Is not Lady Tregenna in good health?" I queried.

"I hope so," he said slowly, and then added with a sudden burst of confi­dence: 'The truth is, Halifax, that when I left England there was a hope that Lady Tregenna might present me with an heir to the property. It was imperative that I should accom­pany this expedition, or I would not

|have left home at such a critical time. I expected news before now. It was arranged that Dr. Collett was to cable to me here. The silence makes me rather uneasy."

He had scarcely finished speaking when a servant appeared, bearing two cablegrams on a salver. One was ad­dressed to Tregenna, the other to my­self. I noticed that he changed color as he took his from the salver. Out of consideration for him I left the ver­anda and entered the heated room where we had just dined. I opened my cablegram. It was from Collett, written In cipher, and contained a good deal of valuable information re­garding certain discoveries in medi­cine which corresponded closely with some I had made myself. But the final news in the message startled and dis­tressed me:

"Your fellow-traveler, Sir John t r e ­genna, Is disappointed of his hope of an heir. Lady Tregenna gave birth to a boy this morning, WJJO only lived an hour.*

Sir John's eager face, the look in his eyes when he spoke of an heir to his property, flashed painfully now before my mental vision. The blow he was about to receive was a cruel one. I had Just thrust the cablegram Into my pockety when Tregenna rushed In­to t^ :;l9<!|a^ #

I am surprised, though, to find that Dr. Collett did not send the cable. It was sent by a Dr. Mason. Collett could not nave been In attendance. I shall leave for home tomorrow.

The next morning Tregenna sailed fpr England, but it so happened that I did not leave India for several months. During that time I was con­cerned to hear that my special friend, Dr. Collett, who had sent me the cipher cable, had died suddenly. His death had taken place on the very day on which I had received the message. We were greatly attached to each other, and had been associated in more than one investigation, of Inter­est. Two days before M e n Calcutta for England I received the following from Tregenna.

"Dear Halifax: I am given to un­derstand that you wil l be back in the metropolis some time in June. 1 hope as soon as ever you arrive you will come straight down to Tregenna Manor. I want to show you the boy. He is as fine a lad as the heart of a father could desire. Dayrell is jstill in the country, and sometimes visits at the Manor, but with my heir to look at, I no longer mind him. In short, I breathe freely.

Yours, John Tregenna."

I was altogether unprepared to re­ceive a letter written in this strain in view of what I had heard from Col­lett. I had preserved the cablegram, and now took it and read K otver care­fully. There was no doubt whatever of the meaning of the words. It stat­ed clearly that Lady Tregenna had given birth to a boy, who had died after an hour of life. I could only

J wait for the mystery to unravel itself. I resolved to accept the invitation ex­tended to me, and, in due course of time I arived at Cornwall. •

Sir John met me at the station. A l l his taciturnity and gloom had l<rft him—he was now a talkative and cheerful man.

"Tbe boy Is in splendid form, Hali­fax," he cried, as be wrung my hand, "and Lady Tregenna is also in fine health. You will see her for yourself in a few moments."

The baronet whipped up his horses, and soon afterward we drew up in front of the fine old mansion. Lady Tregenna was standing on. the steps, a nurse a little behind her holding a baby, in her arms.

"Well, Kate," called out her hus­band, "here is our old friend, Halifax. Bring the lad along. Now, Halifax, what do you think of him, eh?"

"He is indeed a fine boy," I re­marked to Lady Tregenna. "Curious­ly enough, I chanced to be in the same hotel at Madras with your hus­band when he received the cable­gram announcing his birth."

I surveyed the infant cirtlcally. He was a well-grqwn boy, with somewhat large features, but I could not detect the slightest likeness to either parent. The nurse, a grave, middle-aged wom­an, with a dark face and thin, com­pressed lips, took the boy in her arms and vanished with him around a cor­ner of the house.

"Look after Halifax, Kate," said Tregenna. "I must go to the stables, but wil l join you presently."

Lady Tregenna conducted me under a thick arch of roses on to a small lawn, where she seated herself by a little tea-table, f5he motioned me to a seat near her.

"It is strange," she said, "that you should have been with my husband when he received the message that he was the father of a boy." >

"There is something else stranger," I said, impelled by an unaccountable impulse to force my information upon her. "I also received a cablegram In cipher from my old friend, Doctor Collett, on the same night. It gave false information with regard to the matter. Collett told me that your baby died shortly after its birth."

Her cheeks flushed crimson, then turned pale. "What an odd mistake to make," she said. "That was abso­lutely without foundation.' But then, Doctor Collett died on the day of my baby's birth. He may not have known what he was cabling to you about."

"I have not mentioned the matter to anyone^" I began, but at that in­stant we heard Sir John's voice In the distance, and Lady Tregenna mo­tioned me to be silent.

"Not a word to him,** she said In an eager whisper. "I would not let him know for the world. He would think it unlucky. You wi l l promise?"

"As I did not tell your husband at the time, I should have no reason for repeating the news now," I said. "His affection for the child Is quite touching."

That evening Tregenna took me into his study, and we spent a short time examining the valuable photo­graphs he had taken in India of the sun's eclipse. Just before we parted for the night he spoke again of his heir.

"So you think»the boy a fine little chap, Halifax," he said. "And Lady

'raffannsi shr /iu^a^ed ls> fee

peered to take no especial interest in him.

Tregennas face grew crimson. "1 see you observe what I notice my­self," he exclaimed. "The fact is, there is no accounting for women. I thought that she would have been wild about the lad, but as a matter of fact, she isn't. Not that she neglects him; far from that. She sees that he is tfell looked after, and has him brought to her once or twice daily, but she never pets him. I sometimes think I bore her by the delight which the possession of the child causes me; but there—we wil l say no more about it. I am keeping you up, and you must-be tired."

He conducted me to my room, bade me good-night and -left me. I went to the window, and flung it wide open. Suddenly a longing to steal down­stairs and go out for a ramble seized me. No sooner did the notion come to me, than I acted uppn i t The house was already shut up, but I made my way to a side door, which I unbarred, and Let myself out. I wan­dered down the broad central avenue. I was walking on the'grass and not making the slightest noise, when voices startled me. They seemed to be close by. I stepped into a deep shadow. The first words I heard were in Lady Tregenna's tones.

"I cannot go on with this much longer, Dayrell," she cired. "I cannot possibly give you what you ask, for I have not got it. Here, if you must have it, take this ring; it is of great value. If he misses it from my finger I can but tell him another lie."

I saw her hand something to a man who stood near, then she turned ab­ruptly and walked back to the house. As soon as she had left him, the man turned to leave the grounds. I made up my mind to follow him. He reached a stile, which he mounted, and which led direct into the high road. Still keeping my distance, I did the same. Presently, in the ex-treme^puiet of tbe night, he stoppee still, as if he were listening. The be­lated moon arose at that instant, ana

the manor in the evening. Lady Treg­enna was in the garden-; a very small child was toddling by her side. She came forward and greeted me cord­ially.

"It is so good of you to come," she said. As she spoke, she made an effort to smile. I was shocked at the change in her apepaarnce. There were heavy shadows under her eyes, the eyes looked now much too big for the face, the face'was worn to emaciation. When I touched the hand she offered me, it burned as though its owner was consumed by inward fever. At this moment tbe same nurse I had seen a year ago came into view, took the child and car­ried him away. At Lady Tregennas request I accompanied her to one of the drawing-rooms, where we seated ourselves.

"I am about to.confide in you," she said, slowly, "for I am badly in need of advice. I want you to promise that you will not divulge what I am going to tell you, until I give you permis sion."

"I will respect your secret, Lady Tregenna," was my reply.

"Thank you. Doctor Halifax, when you were here last, you mentioned the receipt of a cablegram from Doctor Colett, the contents- of which puzzled you exceedingly. Well, that cable­gram told the truth."

"The truth!" I exclaimed, scarcely able to credit what I heard.

"Yes, it was true. 1 will tell you all about it. I was married to Sir John ten years. We believed that we should never have an heir, hut two years ago I found I was about to became a mother. My husband was overjoyed, but it chanced that he had arranged for the expedition to India, in which you took part, and found it impossible to resign his post. He had to leave me, to his inexpres­sible anxiety. My child was born in London. I was very i l l at its birth, and for some time afterward was un­conscious. When I came to my senses the nurse whom I had en­gaged was standing by the bedsid

turning suddenly, he saw me. He halted and waited for me to come up.

"By Jove," he cried, as I ap­proached. "I know who you are. Your name is Halifax—you are a spe­cial chum of the governor's; you came to the manor to-day." j

I glanced at him; his feanirerVere not unlike Sir John's, *but they were much bloated, as if with excessive drinfetng. His lips were thin and cruel, his eyes too closely set to­gether. I made no response to his re­mark, but continued to look at him steadily.

"If you witnessed an interview back therer he said, harshly, "you will do well to say nothing to Sir John about It. Lady Tregenna will find herself in a fine scrape If anything happens to make me cut up rough. Good-night to you."

He vanished down a side path, and I slowly returned tophe house. I kept my own counsel regarding the meeting of Lady Tregenna and Day­rell in the grounds, nor did I see him again. I returned to New York after a week's visit, and being much occu­pied, had little time to think about Tregenna's private affairs. A year baiPpassed away, and I found myself in London again,, this time aa a dele­gate from the American Medical as­sociation to the international conven­tion of surgeons and physicians then being held in the British metropolis. The business of the convention had just come to a close, when 1 was sur­prised to receive a communication from Lady Tregenna, worded as fol­lows:

"Dear Doctor Halifax: Having heard that you were attending the medical convention, I made haste to write, and implore you to come down to the manor for a few days. Sir John is in Scotland at presentment I have several firends staying in tbe house, and if you come I can promise

you twill not have a lonely r. anxious to cone

she held a beautifully dressed baby in her arms. She bent down and showed me the little fellow; then at a sign from me she laid it by my side. 1 kissed it, and was happy as mother could bo.

" 'Has Sir John been cabled to yet?' I asked.

"She replied that Mr. Dayrell was in the house, and only waited for my authority to send a cablegram,

" T e l l him to do so without an In­stant's delay,' I responded.

^ "I made a quick recovery, but was astonished to see that Doctor Colett no longer attended me. Another very excellent physician—Doctor Mason— came to see me, however, and 1 did not suspect the truth. When the boy was a fortnight old, the nurse came to me one day and confessed what had really occurred. A few moments after the birth of my baby Doctor Collett had become seriously i l l , and had been obliged to hurry away, leav­ing the case with the nurse. When he left the house, the baby had shown signs of weakness and want of proper circulation; he thought Its life might be saved, however, and intended to re­turn again within half an hour. As a matter of fact, ten minutes after Doctor Collett left the child died. The nurse sent a hasty message to the doctor, telling him that the baby was dead. Two bours afterward she was startled by getting a message to the effect that Doctor Collett had died suddenly. Dayrell, who had spent the entire day in the house, was pacing up and down in the drawing-room when she ran in to tell him what had' happened.

" 'This will k i l l Sir John,* he said. " 'And Lady Tregenna, for that mat­

ter,' .replied the nurse. 'They built so much on that child.*

"Dayrell stood looking at her for a few moments without speaking.

'You are not welt off, nurse?* he queried at last.

"She admitted that she was not; also that she had a sickly child of her own, who depended altogether on

exertions to support i t "fesv^hall stay on here, at a high

child's nurse,* he said.

Cf-

" 'The child's nurse!—yoM forget that the child Is'dead,' she returned.

" 'Never mind that. Pay attention to me,' he rejoined, 'and I will give you five hundred pounds in addition for your help.'

"He then proposed to her that she should conceal the fact ol" the baby's death from me for the present, but he would cable Sir John, in Doctor

over a private matter, and should be glad to have you retire," I answered.

"I'll do nothing oi' the kind," he re­turned, sullenly.

"Do as you please," I responded in­differently, "After all, -what 1 have got'to say may interest you as well as this woman. Sir John Tregenna has returned, and is at present with, his supposed heir. La^y Tregenna

Mason's name, that he was the father \ haB told me everything from her point of a fine boy. Meanwhile, a living child could be substituted in the dead one's place. He knew where he could procure a baby. The fact of Doctor Collett's death would make the certifi­cate of birth wonderfully simple. He would undertake that the dead child would be disposed of without remark. This scheme was duly carried into effect, and when I was made acquaint­ed with the true facts I knew I had been lavishing my affection on the baby of some stranger for over a fort­night. What my feelings were when this revelation was made I cannot de­scribe. Dayrell attempted to console me.

" 'Don't be a fool,' he said. 'You want an heir—your husband wants an heir. If he believes you to be the mother of his child, he will be con­tent. You have the heir—and my silence can be bought.'

"I was too weak to resist him and the nurse, and yielded to the dastard­ly scheme. From that hour I have known no peace of mind. Dayrell has blackmailed me to a frightful extent; I have sold nearly all my jewels to satisfy his demands. Tbe nurse and the man know the truth. They prom­ise secrecy only so long as I can supply their demands., 1 have paid Dayrell thousands of pounds since the birth of the child. As for Sir John, he suspects nothing. He is wrapped up in the boy, and of late it is with difficulty that I can get him to return to his old interests in scien­tific pursuits: 1 never saw anything like his passion for the baby. On the day my husband went to Scotland, that wretch came to me and demand­ed two thousand pounds. I have not the money—what am I to do?"

"You must not on any account yield to fresh attempts at blackmail," I said. "I confess that I cannot see at present how to save you without telling Sir John the truth, but I should like to think over matters. On the face of it, I cannot see why Day­rell Tregenna should wish to supply Sir John with au heir, when the property would come to him, failing issue, after your husband's death."

"I can explain, that," said Lady Tregenna. "lie and my husband are very much the same age, but my hus­band's is in reality a netter life than his. Dayrell is penniless, or nearly so; he has married beneath him and has a large family. At intervals he has dreadful bouts of drinking, an/1 it is altogether likely that in thu n.uu.nl course of things Sir John would out­live him. Therefore, he concocted the scheme for the sole purpose of rais­ing ready cash."

"You must have patience, and allow me to act for you now," 1 said. "It has been my good fortune to g"t peo­ple out of difficulties nearly as bad as yours. I am glad you have had the COM rage to tell me tho truth. 1 will think things over and have an­other talk with you tomorrow."

That night, to my astonishment and disgust, Dayrell Tregenna was one of the guests at dinner. The whole party went early to bed; I spent an anxious and wakeful night. The next morning when I went downstairs I was surprised to meet none other than Sir John himself in the hall. He shook hands with me cordially. "Hall-fax, of all people!" he cried. "Yes, I have returned unexpectedly; the wife does not yet know that I am in the house, but I have just sent a message to the nurse to bring the boy down/

At that moment the nurse appeared with the child. He caught sight of his supposed father and rushed for­ward to meet him, crowing joyously. Sir John clasped him in his arms, and turned to me with his face shin­ing with triumph. It was Just then that I noticed something which 1 had failed to observe when I had seen the baby a year ago. The child now bore an unmistakable and very striking likeness to his father—his eyes, smile and the sturdy way he held his shoul­ders, were an exact replica of Sir John.

The instant I made this discovery there flashed through my mfnd a pos­sible solution of the mystery. Sir John was so taken up with the baby that he paid no auction to my move­ments. 1 went to the nurse.

"I am anxious to have a word with you in private," I said.

"Very well," she responded, with a slightly startled look. She walked down the corridor and opened a side door which led into a shrubbery, and I followed.

"I want to ask you a straight ques­tion," I said. "I had an interview with your mistress yesterday, in which she told m e the history of the child, which she believes to be true. What Is your name?"

"Mrs. Hodgkins," was the reply. "Well , Mrs. Hodgkins, the whole

story is very strange, lender ordinary

to bring a detective down from Lon» don to probe the matter. For in­stance, before believing the version which jrou and Mr. Dayrell Tregenna palmed off on Lady Tregenna, there are some questions to be answered. Where was burled the real baby to whom she gave birth? Where did you find the child who was substituted?"

"Now, what Is rill this about?*1 said another voice.

I turned and saw Dayrell standing before me. He looked more bloated and disreputable than eyer.

"I am talking w l A Mrs. Hodgkins

of view. It is my conviction that she has been deceived. And—"

"I shall tell you all you want te know, sir," interupted the nurse.

At these unexpected words Dayrell turned pale. He looked at the wom­an viciously, and made a step for* ward, as though to strike her.

"Stand back, you plotting hound" I said to him savagely, and stepped between him and the nurse. His hand dropped, and he moved a pace from me.

"I am a widow with one child " said Mrs. Hodgkins. "When I came to nurse tbe lady I happened to meet Mr. Dayrell before the birth of the child. He spoke- to me and expressed his disgust at the possibility of an heir being born. When the child arrived there were grave doubts at first as to whether be would survive. Dr. Col­lett had to leave the house shortly after his birth, owing to an attack of illness, which later carried him off. After his departure Mr. Dayrell came to me and asked me how the baby was. I told him be was in a bad way, but there was a chance for him to pull through, and hurried back to attend to bim. A n hour after the child was breathing freely, and all danger was over. I was engaged in attending to him, when that villain came to the bedroom door and called me outside. He offered to pay me £500 if 1 would act on his suggestion, and send a message to Dr. Collett that the child had died. I believe that his first intention was to send the living child away and substitute a dead child in its place, which he was confident he could procure. I needed the money badly, and consented to his horrible suggestion. I sent a message to the doctor to say that the baby had died. Almost immediately afterward a mes­sage came to say that Dr. Collett had died suddenly, and that another physi­cian would be sent to attend on Lady Tregenna. On hearing this news Mr. Dayrell completed his plot. He saw there was now no necessity to fetch another baby. Dr. Collett's death had simplified matters. When Lady Tregenna was sufficiently strong, she was to be told that the real baby had died apd that another had been sub­stituted in its place.

" 'As I can no longer inherit the property,' said Mr. Dayrell, 'the only thing left to me to do is to make money. I will make thousands out of that unlucky child. Her ladyship will believe that ho is not her own, and 1 Khali blackmail her to any ex­tent.'

"And so he did. He paid me, of course, but no money was worth the misery I endured. I saw my poor mistress fading before my eyes; she could not love the child that she be­lie-ved was not her own. At last I began to fear for her roason. Oh, what is to be done?" The woman .sobbed, and T turned to speak to Day­rell, but he had disappeared.

"Lady Tregenna must, of course, know the truth," I said; "but the ques­tion Is whether Sir John is to be in­formed or not I think it would be cruel to tell him. Your confession will give immense relief to your mis­tress—and I believe Dayrell will con­sent to Joave the country for his own sake. Come with me to Lady Tregen­na. "

We went straight to her ladyship's room. 1 tapped at the door and was admitted at once, the nurse follow* ing.

"I have come to tell you, Lad* Tregenna," I said, "that you have been the victim of a terrible hoax The child is really your own. Nurse, tell your story."

The woman did so, and Lady Tre genna listened with alternate shades of hope and fear coming and goina over her pale face. When Mrs. Hodg­kins had finished her tale, the mothei laughed hysterically.

"Thank God," she cried, "I can love the child now; be is really my own, my baby."

We finally agreed that i t was un­necessary for Sir John ever to know the real facts of the case. Dayrell left the country forever. As to the nurse, she received a month's wages in lieu of notice, but the remorse ot her own conscience was the only otb*r punishment accorded to her.

the name both Yancy and Balaam manifested Interest. They saw a man In the early twenties, clean-limbed and broad-shouldered, with a hand­some face and shapely head. "Yes, sir, hit's a grandson of Tom earring-ton that used to own the grist-mill down at the Forks."

"Where you located at, Mr. Car* rington?" asked Yancy. But Car-rington was not given a chance to ^Jgfx Uncle Sammy saved him the trouble?

"Back in Kentucky. He takes rafts down the river to New Orleans, then he comes back on ships to Balti­more, or else he hoofs it no'th over­land. He wants to visit the Forks," he added.

"I'm shortl^goln* that way myself, Mr. Car rington, xand I'll be pleased of your company—but first I got to get through with Bofr Yancy," said Ba­laam, and again he produced the war* rant. "If agreeable to you, Bob, I'll ask Uncle' Sammy to read this here warrant."

"Wise's J>een a-warranttn' Bob Yancy?" cried Uncle Sammy.

"Dave Blount has." "I knowed hit—I knowed he's try

"Didn't he say nothing about this here order from the co't, Bob?"

"There wa'n't much conversation, squire. I invited my nevvy to light down, and then I snaked Dave Blount out over the wheel."

"Who struck the first blowr "He did. He struck at me with his

buggy whip." Squire Balaam removed his spec­

tacles and leaned back in his chair. "It's the opinion of this here co't

that the whole question ot assault rests on whether Bob Yancy saw the order. Bob Yancy swears he didn't see It, while Dave Blount swears he showed It to him. If Bob Yancy didn't know of the existence of the order he was clearly actin' on the idea that Blount was stealln' his nevvy, and he done what any one would have done under the circumstances. If, on the other hand, he knowed of this order from tbe co't, he was not only guilty of assault, but he was guMty of re-sistin' an officer ef the co't." The squire paused impressively. His audi­ence drew a long breath.

"Can a body drata a word here?" Itxwas Unde Sammy's thin voice that cor into the silence.

"Certainly,. Uncle Sammy. This here con wilE always admire so listen to you.''

The encounter. Betty Malroy had ridden into the

squire's yard during the progress of the trial and when Yancy and Han* nibal came from the house she beck* oned the Scratch* Hiller to her.

"You are not going to lose-your nephew, are you, Mr. Yancy?" she asked eagerly, when Yancy stood at her side.

"No, ma'am." But his sense of ela­tion was plainly tempered.

"I am very glad. I rode out to the Hill to say good-by to Hannibal and to yon, but they said you were here and that the trial was today."

Captain Murreli, with Crenshaw and the squire,*came from the house, and Murrell's swarthy face lit up at sight of the girl. Yancy would have yield ed his place, but Betty detained him.

"Are yon going'away, ma'am?" 'he asked with concern.

"Yes—to my home In west Tesnes see." aad a cloud crossed her smooth brow.

"But ain't yen ever coming back. Miss Betty?" asked Hannibal rather fearfully.

"Oh, I hope so, dear." She turned to Yancy.. "I wearier you don't leave the Hill, Mr. Yatacy. You could so easily go where Mr. Bladen would never find you; Barest you thought of this?"

'That are a p'lnt," agreed Yancy slowly. "Might I asks you what parts you'd specially recommend?" lifting his grave eyes to borsi

"It would really be the sensible thing to do!" said Betty. "1 am sure you would like west Tennessee—they say you are a great hunter." Yancy smiled almost guiltily.

•'What's an this here fuss between you and Bob.Yancy?" demanded the squire when he had administered the oath to Blount. Mr. Blount's state­ment was brief and very much to the point.

"He done give me the order from the judge of the co't—I was to show it to Bob Yancy—"

"Got that order?" demanded the square sharply. With a smile, dam­aged, but clearly a smile, Blount pro* duced the order. "Hmm—app'lnted guardeen of the boy-~" the squire was presently heard to murmur, The crowded room was very still now, and more than one pair of eyes were turned pityingly in Yancy's direction.

There have been various systems or methods of classification by pomol-Qgists for centuries past. Some of them have been very curiously, not to say absurdly, founded on certain real or imaginary characteristics, while others were quite reasonable anof prac tical. TfceHaest of them all, according

Ate'my* judgment, is the. system devised and published by Dr. John A. Warder, of Ohio, in 4iis American Pomology. The first divisions in his classification are based upon the shape of the ver­tical sections and are four in number: Class I, Oblate or Flat; Class II, Con­ical; Class III, Round or Globular; Class IV, Oblong. Next comes the shape of the cross or transverse sec­tions, called Orders, of Nvhich there are two, Regular and Irregular. The

third stage in the system is regarding the flavor, which are termed Sections, of which there are two. Section 1 in­cludes the varieties that are sweet and Section 2 t*. se that are subacid or sour. The last set of this descrip­tive classification is made up of three Subsections. The first of these in­cludes all varieties that are yellow or green and may be blushed and even quite covered witl* f retf in, some rare cases, bu£ never sinned. f By this sys­tem almost any apple may be proper­ly classified, and if listed and de­scribed in detail might be identified by any careful student of pomology. While there was never but one edi­tion Dr. Warder's book on apples, American Pomology, and that was is­sued in 1867, and many valuable va­rieties have been introduced since that date, it is even now the best of all our books on apples, by which they may be studied and Identified. While there are great ranges of variation within the individual limits of any va­riety, there are certain characteristics that are quite constant and depend­able, and upon these any intelligent classification must be based. Mere al­phabetical or other ordinary arrange­ment is of much less value.

To describe an apple in such man­ner as wil l lead to an understanding of its individual peculiarities I have made a drawing of a specimen of the Delicious that was grown in California The most important parts are named and pointed out in such a way that they may be studied. To begin with, the form, which is one of the first points fhat anyone wil l notice, may be fiat, conical, round or oblong, as looked at from the side, and round, elliptical, irregular or even angular when observ-, ing from either end. The size may he large, medium or small. The depres­sion In which the stem is set is called the cavity, and it may be regular, ir­regular, or lipped; large or small; deeih medium or shallow; ''with a

have russet* markings that are ffirge," medium or faint, or none at all. The stem may be long, medium or short; slender, stout' or fleshy. Sometimes a variety wi l l have stems of all these, descriptions, but they are generally of one type. The depression at the calyx or blossom end of an apple is called the basin. It may b^ regular^ irreg­ular, waved, furrowed or knobby; deep, medium, shallow or wanting; wide or narrow; marked with russet either cracked or smooth. The calyx may be open or closed; with the se­pals long or short, upright or refiexed. The surface is smooth, rough, bloomed or russeted. The color, yellow, green, blushed, red striped and with all pos­sible variations of intensity and light­ness of shadings, mottling, splashings and suffusions. The dots are very characteristic and quite constant. They are numerous or scattering; large or small; dark or light; round or pointed; with light, dark, green and sometimes on raised bases. The skin may be thick and tough or thin and tender. The flesh ia yellow, white or stained with red and very rarely pink throughout; and its texture may be fine or coarse; "firm, tender or soft; and in weight light or heavy. The core may be large, medium or small; conical, round or oblate; open o r closed; meeting or separate from the tube. The calyx tube large or small; long or short. Axial diameter long or short. Seeds numerous or few; large or small; plump or narrow; light or dark brown. Flavor sweet, subacid or soar; rich aromatic or spicy. Qual­

ity good, very good, best or poor. Sea­son very early, early, mid-summer, fall, early winter, mid*winter and late win­ter.

Thus it is that a pomologist would describe an apple. Blanks for de­scriptions .are prepared for the gov­ernment records-aid also by some of the states. I have them for my own private use in keeping records of the varieties I have examined. Paintings, models and .historical notes of all in­teresting fruits are also made and care­fully preserved in the office of the U .

Porno log ist at Washington, which is vork that I planned and Instituted when I was in charge of that office over 20 years ago. These records are of inestimable value and will be more more so as time advances.

Easily Answered. "These kids"'I teach aren't a bit

slow"" observed a school teacher yes­terday. "In fact, I'm afraid they read the papers, jfrhe other day I proposed the following-problem to my" arith­metic class:

" ' A rich man dies and leaves'$1,-000,000. One-fifth is to go to his wife, one-sixth to his son, one-seventh . to his daughter, one-eighth to his broth­er and the rest to foreign missions. What does each get?*

" 'A lawyer,' said the littlest boy in the class."—Case and Comment.

Her Excuse. "These people have a plausible and

self-righteous excuse for their mis­deeds," said Senator Bankheaii, apro­pos of certain hypocritical lawbreak­ers, in an address in Fayette.

'They remind me, in fact, of a cer­tain parson's domineering wife. The parson said meekly one day:

" 'My love, you told me before the wedding that you knew our marriage was made in heaven, yet you now or­der me about as if I were a slave.'

"'Order,' the woman calmly an­swered, 'Is heaven's first law.' "

Leather Device Can Be Put Over Eyes ef Ugly Animal, Giving Good

Ventilation and Light.

The following description of a hood for a bull that has become breachy Is written by a contributor to Hoard's Dairyman:

I got a flank of leather for about $1.25, took a good five-ring halter that fit (you can vary the size), cut the front, 13 Inches at top by 8 inches at bottom and 12 inches long; two side pieces 8 inches wide at top bv 6

Bull hoodwinked.

Inches bottom, 12 inches long; cut front of aide pieces square, back on a miter. Put inside of leather together, black side down of front and up of side, rivet about three-fourths of an inch from edge with copper belt riv­ets and burs long enough to rivet well, and 1¼ inches apart center to center (as he will try it severely).

The hood wi l l stand open like a box at corners over his eyes, giving good ventilation and some li^ht. Rivet back of side pieces to side strap of halter between the r in |s , make a loop around back of upper ring and rivet; rivet a strap to lower corner of side piece; rivet bottom of front to nose

Jrtece of halter. The drawing shows how it is used.

Those who have tried it recommend it.

and Fireside. I am using one of these devices and rind it a pleasure to milk now, when I was always in fear before.

The Kerry Cow. The Kerry cow is a light framed

cow of varying size, but generally smaller than the-*Ayrshire. She is black in hair. The Dexter, although derived from the same stock, is quite different, being tttick and blocky, and in color may be either black or red. Both of these cattle are particularly goed dairy cows, doing well in mod­erate feeding and giving surprisingly large quantities of milk, very rich.

Many Kerries give quite as rich milk as is produced by. the Jersey. The Kerry does not fatten kindly un­t i l she has reached full age, but the Dexter may be fattened younger.

Does Silage Affect the Flavor? Have you noticed anything differ­

ent in the flavor of the milk since you began feeding silage? If there is any change at all the flavor wil l be a lit­tle more pleasant, says O. E. Reed, head of the dairy department at the Kansas State Agricultural college. But if the silage is allowed to ferment too long and then fed, the milk wil l have a taint much like that noticed when weeds are eaten in the summer. •

Ground Grain \W Best. If a farmer who is really trying to

learn how to conduet his business most economically wil l make a com-mon-sense test during a season of, say, six months, feeding a portion of his cows ground grain, and the same number whole grain, noting the dif­ference in milk flow, he wil l then come pretty near knowing the truth.

Profits Prom a Creamery. The total profits from a creamery
