According to the Scientific Amer­ican of recent issue, a method of econ­omizing electrical energy employed for domestic heating or cooking is to re­ceive the energy continuously at a low rate in a resistance apparatus iwhich transforms it Into heat and then stores the heat for use as needed. In •a new electric cooking apparatus op­erating in this way the heating unit, consuming 500 watts total or 12,000 watt hours per day of twenty-four hours, serves to keep a mass of cast Iron hot enough to cook food in or dinary utensils placed in contact with i t The cast iron block is thermally Insulated by being inclosed in a sur­rounding wall of lampblack or pow­dered silica, and a movable block is arranged to be raised above the main mass, so as to expose its upper sur­face when cooking Is to he done.

The dangers T>f submarine naviga­tion, in the present stage of its devel­opment, are greater than those of the aeroplane. In an aeroplane accident the deaths are limited to one or two, but when a submarine boat goes down and fails to come up, the calamity usually carries off a dozen or more human beings at a time. There were 15 men on the British submarine B-2, which was struck by the Hamburg-Amerlcan liner Amerika in a fog off Dover, and only one of them came up. This is the sixth disaster to Brit* ish submarines, and in each of the previous disasters the death roll ranged from 11 to 15.

Men Need Help—Not Charity. There is a higher duty than to build

almshouses; for the poor, and; that is to save men from being degfradeo? to the blighting influence of alms-house. Man has a right to something more than bread to keep him from starving. He has a right to the aids and encouragements and culture, hy which he may fulfill the destiny of a man, and until sooiety is brought to recognize and reverence this it will continue to groan under its present mleeries.—Channiijg. ; ;«c

McMANIGAL UNFOLDS PLOT Informer at Indianapolis Trial Names*

Ironworkers' Officers.

Graphic stories of h o w he caused explosions, how he earned dynamite in suit cases on passenger trains and checked the explosive at railway sta­tions without thinking • of • danger to others, and how he wa ted to place bombs so night watchr n would not Bee him, were related by Ortie E. Mc-Manigal on the witness stand in the trial of the 45 accused "dynamiter plotters/' in IndianapolH Ind.

"Ping," an alias of Herbert S. Hock-in, formerly of Detroit, JwcManigal said, was the rass word he gave the labor leaders in various cities so they would know he was the man sent to do a "job." He ^amed Frank C. Webb, of New York, Michael J . Young, of Boston, Richard H , Houlihan, of Chi­cago, James Cooney, Of Chicago, and Frank M. Ryan, all officials of the In­ternational Association of Bridge & Structural Ironworkers, as among the defendants besides the McNamara brothers who knew he was employed as a dynamiter.

Young and Webb actually pointed out non-union jobs for him to blow up, he said. Hockin, now secretary of the union, he described as the chief of the McNamara dynamiting crew, and said Ryan, president of the union, had spoken to him about, an explosion.

Uto .total of the Republican elec-tShttft column apparently was fixed at tita 12 votes of Idaho, Utah and Ver-t&ont, but the footing of the Wilson «nd Roosevelt columns flickered al­ternately during the afternoon and atfgfrt, as fate returns from Iowa, Kan-was, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyoming gave indications of change fispm the results accepted last night.

Qn the basis of the latest returns §§iiy in the evening with tho vote of Jjowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South Da-ffipta and Wyoming placed in the "lloubtftii" column, President-elect Wilson had 387 certain votes In the electors college; Colonel Roosevelt 89 and President Taft 12.

AM of the doubtful states except Qbwth Dakota gave more or less cer­tain indication during the night of fending In the list of Wilson electoral 4otes, while South Dakota's returns Showed a general trend toward a Roosevelt plurality.

Taft Ta«e& Defeat Like True Phil­osopher*

President Taft, who returned to Circinnati, received the returns at tbe home of his brother, C. P. Taft, on Pike street.

Early hi the evening a large mim­ic rsonal friends gathered at

the Taft home to hear, with the presi­dent, the result of the balloting throughout the country. The very first results carried an intimation of V*e approach of the Wilson avalanc: o.

While the president's personal friends wore entirely disappointed over tho evi! portent of the news, the presi­dent hir. self did not in the least dis­play any depression of spirts. He took the result in a very philosophical manner. He declined to make any statement.

Early returns indicated that he l:st h*s home city to Wilson. The Demo crats claim to have carried Cincin nati for «heir national, state tind coun ty tickets by more than 10,000.

Ajntstl the counting of the three corner­ed Contest !h the different states is concluded and an accurate tabulation of fee popular vote made possible.

Both houses of congress wil l prob­ably be Democratic. The house is pjflonvtemtfngly Democratic. The in­complete returns indicate that the leg-Islsitspes elected at yesterday's polls w&t elect enough Democratic senators tp give ffce Democrats a majority of die upper branch of congress

Wwh no complete figures fjom west-states, the returns show that the

- Wilson in the Lead In Illinois. Late returns which included ma/iy

Democratic counties in the southern pkrt of the state, took away the Roosevelt plurality of the early re­turns and gave Wilson a slight lead. His total on 692 precinots heard from being 14 votes more than Roosevelt. The returns on 692 precincts outride of Cook county aive Taft 42,297, Wi l ­son 63,857, Roosevelt 63,843. In Cook county Roosevelt still had a lead of approximately 15.000. Nine hundred soventy-eight precincts out of 198 gave Roosevelt 1* 3,650, Wilson 8$,Zo&, Taft, 50,4"8.

Roosevelt Leads In Washington. Progressive State Chairman Snyder,

with'returns from more than 75 pre­cincts oiu* reports from the county chairman of the big Progressive counties, says that Roosevelt's plur­ality in Washington will be 45,000 and that the immense Roosevelt rote hac carried to victory the whole itt»te ticket awl the two congressmen at huge.

Connecticut Coes Democratic. The vote of the state shows «he

Indiana Overwhelmingly Democratic. Indiana ?pparentyl went overwhelm­

Wilson Ahead In New Hampshire. Although President Taft had a sood

lead by the early returns in New iiam-sr ire, toe margin was wiped out !viter and at midnight Governor Wilson was more than 100 votes ahead.

On account of the tremendously Heavy *'Oxe cast, tVe great O J m b e r pf offices voted on, and the fact that there were three parties in the field, result­ing in much splitting of votes, the count was very slow.

Lindquist is a winner In the eleventh, but in the twelftn there Is tho Beet Joe" has pulled through victor in another t>ugh battle.

The early returns are as a rule only on president and governor, though fragmentary returns on the suffrage amendment Indicate that tho vote on that proposition is very evenly divided.

The returns on congressmen are very scattering. Tor congressman at* large what figures are at hand show Keiley and Frensdorf running neck and neck, with Hill, the Bull Moose candidate, third.

In the second district Beakes, Dem., leads Wedemeyer, the present Be* publican incumbent.

In the third the election of Carney, Dem., over J. M. C. Smith is In* dicated.

In the fiifth Edwin F. Sweet, present Democratic congressman, Is belnj*-given a hard race by Carl E. Mapee, Republican.

There is a possibility that Sam W. Smith, Rep., has been defeated In the sixth by Alva M. Cum mine, Democrat, and in the seventh Cramton, Bell and Sherman are all closely bunched.

In the eighth, as was anticipated fChan^!er, the Progressive, pultfri enough votes away from Fordney to bring Purcell, Demoorat, close up alio? it w i l l take the full returns of the district to show whether or not "St gar Bee Joe" has pulled hrough victor in another tough battle.

Too few returns are in from the tenth, the biggest district In the state* to venture a prediction as to whether Loud ta& been re-elected, o r defeated by Roy Woodruff, his Progressive opponent.

Lindquist is a winner in the eelventh, but in the twelfth there Is tho strongest kind of a probability, based on incomplete returns, that H. OI)n Young w i l l be succeeded in the next congress by W. J. McDonald, the Bulb Moose candidate.

One feature of the returns is the way the Bull Moo&e ticket ran In tho upper peninsula.

The vote cast In the state was the heaviest ever known, practically tha entire registration going to the polls <to vote.

The thrce-oided contest for all offices was, of course, largely responsi­ble for this, while good weather a n d the general closing of factories In alt cities helped greatly.

In general the Democrats held their norrral vote, a n d in many cases increased It, while the Republicans and Progressives combined polled far more than the normal Republican vote.

Later returns from the state show f practically no change in. the re­sults announced Wednesday. The plurality of W. N . Ferris, Democrat, for governor, with about half the fig­ures in, is 17,000, which will probably increase to 25,000 on the full count.

Roosevelt's plurality over Wilson will be weU over 40,000, with Taft about. I2,000^behind the Democratic candidate.

Sufficient returns are now in on the legislature to assure the re-election of William Alden Smith to succeed him­self as United Stales senator next January.

With two senatorial districts to hear from, the senate stands: Republi­cans, 20; Democrats, 0; Progres­sives, 4.

With five representative districts yet to report, the count on the lower house is: Republicans, 50; Demo­crats 32; Progressives, 13.

This figures out the vote on joint ballot thus: Republican^ 70; Demo­crats, 38; Progressives, 17; 67 being a majority.

One of the surprises of the legis­lative election is in the Thirty-first senatorial district, where " M Moriarty is having the race of his lite for re-election, he and Winegar, the Progressive candidate, running neck-

I and-neek, 1 In the congressional contests there are some close races which ay take the official count to decide. In the second W. W. Wedemeyer seems to be defeated by S. W. Beakes, Demo­crat, the figures at hand nearly com­plete from the whole district, show-

Official Mashers

S h o u l d H a v e

M e n a s W e l l

| a s W o m e n

B y C O L . M . A . ALDB1CH, Chicago *

IN ITS original sense the word "mash" probably came into our lan­guage from the German "maischen," through the intermediary of the old English "mischen," our "mix" also being derived from the latter spelling. Responsibility for the use of "masher" in its now widely accepted

end disreputable significance is traceable to London Punch, which origi­nally uae<J it, in a supposedly humorous way, as synonymous with "a charmer of women."

One of the best definitions of "mash" in its original meaning is given by Webster as "to reduce to a soft, pulpy state." Oddly enough, though properly enough, that definition exactly fits the condition of most of the chumps, male and female, who carry on the silly and criminal vocation against which all decent sentiment protests and police regulations are carried into effect, sometimes.

Out in Los Angeles there has been an imitation of the occasional prac­tice in some other places of employing an "official masher" to decoy into the hands, of-the police aeme of the specimens of humanity who wear pan­taloons and pose as men while acting the part of nondescript mixtures of idiocy and villainy endeavoring to force their attentions upon women and girls. Something of this kind is reported in Chicago.

Such an employment would not seem to appeal to the admiration or enlist the service of many self-respecting women or girls. But, however that may be, the scoundrel who enlists in the army of mashers without brains enough to discriminate between willing, waiting victims of his idi­otic wiles and decent girls and women is entitled to "all that's coming to him" in police cell or institution for the feeble-minded—or both.

If, however, the decoying business is to be conducted on a really meritorious system, why not send out a squad of sensible men—if such could be enlisted in the service—to "round up" a few hundred of the women and girls who haunt some of the hotel lobbies, stand in hallways, occupy vantage positions for ogling on street corners, leer out from win­dows, and otherwise carry on their share of the community's "mashing" business?

That business is not confined to one sex. What is, sauce for the gander should be proper garnishment for the goose. u

F i t t i n g S k i r t s W o r n b y W o e n

By Alex Guatafsou. St* Louis. Mo.

As one who supremely respects woman-« • #i A hood and who looks forward to a new and A i g O t blessed era for humanity through woman's

emancipation, I would like to say a word in defense of the so-called "suggestive" gar­ments.

<To me it seems almost incredible that ordinarily decent, respectable, God-fearing men should have the hardihood to denounce all women who wear such skirts as wantons, when 6urely everybody knows that multi­tudes of as good and modest women as can be found anywhere use these tight-fitting

Women's overgrown baby skirts were fur more suggestive to weak, prurient-minded men than the modern tight-fitting skirt. But they were not denounced in any brutal or ferocious manner. Why?

Not because they were considered more free from suggestion than the modern skirt, but because they gave no indication that woman intended to free herself from male tutelage.

That is the suggestion in the tight-fitting skirt which so terribly scan­dalizes women in the eye of her master. The clumsy, cumbersome, un­gainly skirts worn by woman in the past ave man a tremendous physical and psychological advantage over her. So long as she wore such garments helneed not fear losing his mastery over her, and he might humor her by granting her education, access to industries and professions and even lim­ited powers of voting. But when woman sets to work to revolutionize her dress, as she now is doing, then he knows that she is, indeed, earnest to break all her immemorial bonds of servitude. No wonder he cries, in the name of outraged morality: "Beware!"

Well, whatever is to come, of one thing we may be sure—the modern American woman has outgrown her swaddling clothes and will never put them on again. And that means that bodily she intends to become as free as man.

In due time after she has taugh| man a much needed lesson in the rudi­ments of self-control, respect for woman and in true morality, she will de­vise a garment gracefully suitable to her form, which will leave all her bodily organs and movements free and unimpeded, as the Creator intended they should be.

Malthus, the renowned writer on politi­cal economy, had mankind badly disturbed in his own day and for a much later period by his plausible theory that the human race would ultimately starve to death.

Malthus laid down the doctrine that the earth's population would increase much faster than the means of subsistence, and he predicted a time of universal famine. He argued well, according to his lights, but he took no account of the increased productiv­ity of the soil through scientific methods of cultivation, nor of the reclamation of vast

areas of land, whether by drainage of irrigation. Malthus reasoned that it would be necessary to limit the procreation

of the race to avert the greater evil of extinction through the overpopu­lation of productive,areas, and for a long time his theories were accepted.

Since his time a vast deal of water has flowed under the bridge, and today instead of a congestion of humanity the greatest peril that confront*

A C H I that'll Crown prince "Had I been treated so by my father

I would have blown my brains out, but this fellow has no honor."

Frederick William of Hohenzollern, elector of Brandenburg, was the speak­er. The "fellow" who had "no honor'* waa his son, whose face he had just slapped in the presence of the king of Saxony and his troops. This son is famous.in history as Frederick the Great.

In the house of Hohenzollern history repeats Itself. The present heir to the throne of Prussia and the German empire, Crown Prinoe Frederick Wil­liam, is having the same kind of ex­perience with his father that Fred­eric the Great as heir to the throne had with his, but with this difference: the Kaiser Wilhelm dares not disci­pline his son with the stern methods Elector Frederick William employed upon his. Times have changed.

The present crown prince thinks for himself. Fatal mistake, when one's father is head of the house of Hohen­zollern! Frederick the Great also thought for himself. He, too, was a bit wayward; he hated dismal ped­antry, drunken swashbucklers and coarse buffoonery; the German lan­guage sounded harsh In his ears. His father, who loved all these things, tried to discipline him with blows and deprivation of all that he loved. Frederick determined to flee to France His dearest friend, Lieutenant von Katte, aided and abetted him ln his

sign. Elector Frederick William discovered it, locked the two youths in a fortress dungeon, threatened to have his son shot if he refused to ab­dicate his right to the throne, had him tried by court martial. The of­ficers of the court commended the prince to his father's mercy, but con­demned Katte to lifelong imprison­ment/ The angry elector ordered that von Kmtte'B head be cut off and that the crown prince be compelled to wit­ness the execution,

Prince Used Diplomacy. Prince Frederick almost went out

of his mind after the ghastly sight, but within two weeks he had begun to beguile his father into believing that his spirit was conquered.

That was how Frederick William, elector of Brandenburg in 1730, treat­ed his son he considered rebellious. Kaiser Wilhelm II. ln 1912 has not imprisoned the crown prince, nor cut off the heads of any of his friends, but he has kept him in virtual ex­ile, doing tedious military duty at dreary fortresses far away from the joyous life of Berlin.

The great kaiser of today is con­fronted with the Bame problem as the petty king of 189 years ago; he is powerless to deprive his eldest son of the right to Bucceed to the throne.

The trouble dates from about a year ago. The exact origin of it is something of a mystery. Politicians tell us that it began when the kaiser angrily rebuked the crown prince for his actions in the reichstag on the oc­casion of a fiery jingo anti-British speech of Dr. von Heydebrand. It will be remembered that the crown prince, sitting in the royal gallery, applauded the most rabid Anglophobia of the speech, slapping his brother" on the back. Of course this was indiscreet. Even the German newspapers, reticent and timorous as they arc in comment­ing upon the actions of their royalty, chlded the young man. Nevertheless his outburst was popular, and the re­bukes only added to the hold he had upon his future subjects' hearts.

Has Thought for Himself. This incident may. have been, prob­

ably was, the actual dividing point, but the "little rift within the lute" started many years further back. Those who are old enough to remem­ber and had the opportunity to ob­serve say that when the crown prince was still a little kiddie in knickerbock­ers he was not amenable to parental discipline. Self-willed, high-spirited, not particularly companionable, he was in a constant condition of quasi-revolt against his father's attempts to mold his character into a miniature of his own. He thought for himself. He had his own ideas, and he did not hesitate to express his dislike for many of tbe things his father, loved, and his liking for things his father loathed. But he was still too young for open breach to be possible.

In his college days at Bonn the erown prince incurred his royal fa­ther's displeasure more than once. The kaiser kept a sharp eye on the youth's behavior. The imperial eagle soars ed over tbe roosting places of its chicken, with an aye especially watch­ful for dangerous prey in the* form of girls that might lure the fledgling too far away from the parental eyrie.

And when he learned of a certain prominent American singer, he swoop­ed down to take a hand in<the chase. Berlin still snickers as it whispers tho story. As gossip goes, the crown prince waa not a bit bashful about manifesting hia admiration for the charming American singer, and was trailing after her in a way that made the services of a press agent unneces­sary.

"What's this? What's thisr the em-fceror la said to have cried. "Run­ning around making calf e eyes at an opera singer, like a shopkeeper's son after a chorus girl? We must 'see about this!"

One Difficulty Settled. Down swooped the eagle from hie

The Imperial Eagle Tries to Boss Courtship.

height. And so effectively did he "see about It" that the chicken had no more opportunity to trail after the singer. The parent bird was monop­olizing her!

Then the good burghers of Bonn be­gan to chatter about the prince's at­tention to another lovely American girl. It was Miss Gladyft Deacon. They said he had actually given her a ring, a Hohenzollern helrlopjn^Again-hdreanVdf questioning anything the em-the father eagle swooped down, and they say that Miss Deacon gave back the ring.

The kaiser has his own ideas about the proper diversions of undergradu­ates. He would show his son what kind of eport waa fitting for a royal prince. The imperial eagle descend­ed upon Bonn and ordered a kommers. He himself presided. That kommers will never be forgotten at Bonn. It was a red-letter day in the history of the local breweries. They say that when the kaiser lifted his aching head from his pillow about noon the follow* ing day he was thoroughly dissati* fled with the environment of the crown prince; he considered it do-moralizing and frivolous. Thus end­ed Frederick William's university life.

The time came to select a wife for the prince. The emperor had his own ideas about wives. So had his son. The young women who pos­sessed the qualities that fitted them to be empress were paraded before the younc man, with much advice and comment upon the form they showed. To the amazement of everybody, the kaiser especially, Frederick William picked out the very girr on whom his father's hopes were set, Princess Ce-cilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

Conducted Hie Own Courtship. But the emperor wanted to super­

vise the courtstip. The crown prince felt himself perfectly capable of managing this for himself. It was whispered in the drawing yooms of Berlin that the emperor had adminis­tered a severe reproof to the young pair, because he had found Princess Cecilie sitting on Prince Frederick's knees.

Tne crown prince has a keen sense of humor, and a way of complying with orders so literally that it is in­tensely irritating to his father. The kaiser makes a great parade of his love for Spartan simplicity, whereas he is at heart fond of luxury. The crown prince is sincerely simple in his tastes. One day the emperor sent word to Potsdam that he was going to inspect the regiment of which his son was chief and dine with the of­ficers. The dinner he sat down to consisted of bean soup, boiled pork and greens. And he had to pretend that he liked it.

Again, the emperor lectured the crown prince about not keeping up an equipage commensurate with the traditions of ^Hohenzollern splendor. The young man accepted the rebuke meekly. A few days later he was driven through the streets of the capital in a gorgeous motor car, with gilding splashed all over it and an im­perial crown as big as a man's band embossed upon the doors. Once more the parent eagle screamed, and the gaudy automobile was seen no more.

The emperor heard that the crown prince had asked for and received a seven days' leave of absence from the commandant of the Potsdam garrison. Tha wires were set working; the em­peror asked why Frederick, William wanted a week off. Word came back that be was going to tho Kiel re­gatta. A few inquiries brought out the news that Frederick William had been building a yacht which was de­signed with just one end in view, to beat the kaiser's own entry. It was not mpre than seven or eight minutes thereafter that orders flashed to Pots­dam directing tho crown prince to get right astride a charger and start on a tour of inspection that kept him busy until th© regatta was over. Fred­erick William's boat won,-but its own­er did not witness its unfllial victory.

Stilt Another Complaint Nor has the emperor forgotten that

occasion about a year ago when he reviewed the "Death's Head Hussars" and Trederlek'e' command:' ~ "three eneenrfor the kaiser!" was rettwnd-ed to with perfect military precision but with chilling lack ot enthusiasm.

Perhaps it was his recollection ot this that made him deliberately omit his son's regiment, and It alone, from his review of the troops after the summer maneuvers a few weeks ago.

This open hostility is a source of poignant grief to the empress. She adores the four grandchildren he has given her. She would love to have them about her, but she would never

peror did. Consequently, she must silently suffer her son to be banished to remote and uninteresting posts like Dantzic. Recently, however, there was what seemed on the surface a recon­ciliation; the crown prince was trans­ferred to Wilhelmshohe, where he and family were near the parental nest. But this transfer has served only to make more obvious to all Ger­mans the mutual dislike between the emperor and his heir. The people worry much about it. , They like the young man, and consider him quite capable of fighting his own battles. And they know that Kaiser Wilhelm will not mete out to the crown prince any such drastic discipline as Elector Frederick William meted out to Fred­erick the Great.—New York World.

SMALL MONKEY AS A PET Intended,to Be Mascot for Politician,

It Has Been Passed Down to Present Owner.

There ls a tiny South American ring-tailed monkey, scarcely bigger than a man's hand, in Albany, N . Y. It was cast aside by William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Republican state executive committee, who passed it along to the county headquarters, where it was in turn sent to James W. Boom of No. 18 Mosher street, Albany. It was the gift of former Governor Horace White and came from Brazil. Mr. Barnes would have no such mas­cot, and when it was delivered to him he cried out: "Take it away! Take it away!"

For several days it occupied a cage at county headquarters and was fast becoming a favorite .among visitors when its stay was again shortened. Lest it should not have proper care, the little animal, whose name ls Julia, was sent to Mr. Boom. It is remark­ably active and has the full range of his premises. It climbs trees and re­turns when it is tired of play. One day recently it was perched on tLe back of Mr. Boom's dog, chuckling in great glee. The dog frolicked about the house and seemed to enjoy its hew companion as much as Julia did. It climbs up on its Owner's shoulders, and when he asks it to kiss him, al­ways complies with the request

TAKEN PRISONER BY A BOY Major Bigelow, Now a Resident of ChJ.

cago, Relates Wild Exploit .of His Younger Days.

This incident, told by Maj. B. A . Bigelow, now a resident of Chicago, took place when the narrator was a. ,boy of 15 years in Sherman's army on the march northward after the-march to the sea. At that time Maj. Bigelow was an orderly, enlisted in* the 68th Ohio infantry regiment. The story he tells is as follows:

''The morning after our arrival at Pocotelligo a negro came into our headquarters quite early and inform­ed the general that there were sev­eral companies of confederates camm­ed two or three miles out, and that they were there to guard a herd oi cattle, which had been collected ln that locality. The general immediate­ly ordered the 78th Ohio and the 17th Wisconsin infantry to go out and get those cattle and incidentally as many confederates as possible.

"I was not on duty that day, but it? was a beautiful morning, and so F asked and received permission to go with the foraging party. We soon-started out with our negro guide, t had not heard anything about our be­ing likely to met any confederates, and it had not occurred to me to take my revolvers, saber or any other-weapons of defense. Less than a mile1

from camp we turned into a beautiful level road, bordered on each side by large live oak trees, and I bantered1

one of the orderlies for a race Off we dashed;—He was soon distanced^ or was called back; at any rate, I plunged ahead, thinking of nothing except the exhilaration of the ride.

"The roadJL was on was a bridle­path screened on each side by heavy underbrush; hence my movements were unnoticed by cavalrymen com­ing down the turnpike that I was fast; approaching. At the intersection I ran plump into three mounted con­federates. I was 'up against the real thing,' and had to think, plan and act on the instant. I was then'so far away fronv the command that any immeftate^ relief from tbe source was impossible, and so I decided I would go after them as if I had a company at my back. Yelling with al my might, 'Forward, men, forward!' I dashed up to then?' and demanded their surrender.

"Two of them had carbines swung, over their backs and the third one-had a gun lying over his arm ready for action. I pushed my horse hard against this man, calling out, 'Give me that gun,' and took it out of his-hands. It was loaded. Until I had* possession of it I was absolutely helpless. I then had the drop on them, but, notwithstanding this, one of them' wheeled his horse, dashed down the road and -away. I made no effort to Btop him. In fact, I felt? rather "re­lieved. There was an uncertain quan­tity, but I was certain I could hold the-other two until the trops came upv This I did easily, but could not refrain from joshing them for surrendering to a 15-year-old kid, who did not have as much as a penknife to defend him­self. In due time the troops arrived' and I turned over my men, their horses-and equipment. '

"The confederates did not propose to give up their cattle without a fight,, but it developed into nothing more than a brisk skirmish. After we struck-the enemy we formed in an open pine-forest, and two companies of Indiana* from the 17th Wisconsin were deploy­ed as skirmishers. They regarded It as lark, and their dodging antics and funny Indian calls created no end of" merriment among the troops. The re­sult was we succeeded in getting & part of the cattle and returned to* Pocotelligo, but the only confederates* we brought in were the two who sur­rendered to a boy orderly out for a lark. I did not stop to think at any­time that I was in great danger, yet they could have killed me at sight o r had me prisoner for the asking.' II

The Corrector of Destinies Being Tales of Randolph Mason aa Related by

Hia Private Secretary, Courtland Parka

THE INTRIGUER By Melville Davisson Post

CopyriglH toy Edward J . Clod©

I was one of that fortunate audi­ence before which Gafki played the "Bronze Helmet" at the Broad Street theater in Philadelphia. It was a no­table event in America. Gafki came directly from Berlin, and staged the drama iri its every detail, as he had done it for the emperor at tho Na­tional theater, on Unter den Linden. Philadelphia society possessed the Broad street theater that night. A prohibitive tariff set by Gafki barred out many. ;

I can recall but few details^of the "Bronze Helmet" after the first act. When the curtain came down I went over to the box of the aged Mrs. Van Couver-Benson to talk a little with Margaret Garnett., She and her fath­er, the president of the Consolidated B'uel Railroads of Pennsylvania, were about to sail for a winter's visit with our Ambassador at London, and this was my only opportunity to present personal adieus. Mrs. Van Couver-Benson is a mere wisp of a woman, one at the road's end, painfully cling­ing a moment longer to life. She sat in a corner of the box, a bit of breath­ing wax covered with costly laces, iso­lated by deafness. Margaret Garnett was alone, but for this senile aunt.

She welcomed graciously my arrival in the box.

"How do you do, Courtlandt," she said. Then she waived a'presentation to the ancient aunt with a screening pleasantry. "Aunt Van is absorbed in the perils of Caesar; sit down by me."

I sat down, and touched at once on the motive of my visit. "I came," I said, "to wish you favorable winds."

She turned to me instantly. "We are not going," she said.

"Not going!" I echoed. "Why not?" She laughed a little. "There is a

man in the way." I flecked the chair arm lightly with

my finger. "How little a thing," I said, "to stay the sailing of Semira-mis."

"Not so little a thing," she answered to my flippant sally. "If you will look presently at the first chair of the fifth row on the right of the center aisle, you will see him. Is he, then, so little a thing?"

I looked a moment later with a ris­ing Interest. The man who sat in thai first chair of the fifth row was never a little factor in any human equation. He was on this day a star deflecting the orbits of political leaders in his state, one playing at the Grachii—the Commoner, sustained by the toiling hive, but he was not of it. He came of a family older yet than Penn; one powerful under the first congress, but afterward contentedly fallow through Idle generations, and now, by the me­dium of this man, returning actively to life.

The career of this man was some­thing of a wonder to us all. Com­manding by his birth a station of the highest order, he had of his own vo­lition become a leader of tbe people; and then, when he stood an authority to be reckoned with in the placing of federal patronage, he chose strangely and with a small spirit, we thought, the position of a United States mar-, shal. The men who usually got this office were aspiring sheriffs. Why, then, did this man, reared in kings' houses, thus strangely wish it?

I forgot on the instant Gafki and his "Bronze Helmet." Here was indeed news. The engagement of Margaret Garnett! The big Englishmen would nqt haunt now our Ambassador's house In Park Lane. The tall girl's destiny had arrived.

I made the usual conventional speeches, a bit highly colored, I fear —rather eulogistic, over-appreciative, laden with tropical platitudes.

She heard me, like a sphinx calmly to the end, then she dropped a guil­lotine knife on the dainty speeches.

"Very pretty, Courtlandt," she said, "but you are giving tongue on the wrong trail. Mr. Wood is not at pres­ent Intending to marry me. He is ab­sorbingly engaged in an effort to ad­vance his own fortunes, somewhat at the cost of my father's."

I stammered my way back, and she went on, covering thus unconscious­ly my confusion. . "I fear that father Is not coming off as he would wish in this contest with Mr. Wood. He laughed a little at the opening skirmish, somewhat like Gaf­fe!** Caesar, sitting in his tent; but within the last month he has advanced hie standards, as Caesar always did when he was being cut to pieces. You see how much I am influenced by this thing of Gafki. Father has abandoned our winter in London. He must be here, happy if ,by being here he can prevail against Mr. Wood. It ls In this manner, Courtlandt, that the man at the end of the fifth row ls standing ln the way."

' I was still deeply puzzled. How could one of hut moderate fortunes, a mere United States marshal, Interrupt thus seriously the plana of an indue* trial emperor like John A. Garnett I waited for further explanation. It did not Immediately come.

"Courtlandt," ahe said, "tell mo mfmt Randolph Mason."

"Randolph Mason,". I echoed. '•What Interest can you hare in flandolph M *

"You wil l learn that a little further on," she said. Then the dominant quality in her, in her father, in every Garnett, came imperiously forward: "Begin now, Courtlandt, please; I am listening."

1 began then with what willing splr* it I could summon.

Margaret Garnett listened closely, putting now and then a query, and glancing now and then at the man who sat applauding in that first chair of the fifth row, as though to establish somehow, a relation there with this mania of Randolph Mason. It was evi­dent that 1 was telling her nothing that she had sot already heard.

"I am almost wishing, Courtlandt," she said, "that Randolph Mason would refuse.to assist my father in the fight with Mr. Wood. It seems to be mak­ing the game unfair, like the Rhine helping the Germans there against Caesar. This drama of Gafki, like all Homeric echoes, outrages my sense of fair play. There was not, as I re­member, a clean fight in the whole Iliad; some god was always lending a hand."

She sat a moment silently watbhing Caesar's pontoon bridges sucked un­der by mysterious currents.

"I ought, as a dutiful daughter, to) hold a keener interest in my father's side of it, I suppose," she said. "If Mr. Wood is not checkmated, father's railroad^ wi | l go into receivership; and ifjfty father crushes him, he will go, in every sense, under the ax. So I ought to be fired with a certain bar-\ baric eagerness for victory, and so, in a way, I am. But somehow, at the bottom of me, I wish to see the fight fair. No handicaps, no Olympic leg­ging, the winning to the best man."

This impassioned speech was inter­rupted by a thin piping voice, little more than a bird's chirp. "Please, Margaret," it said, "I am tired. May I go home?" The old aunt'had awak­ened. Her face was plaintive, like a child's. Time, having made life's cir­cuit with her, was returning her to dissolution by the cradle.

I summoned the old woman's maids, and they got her, with the footman's assistance, to the carriage. I went out with Margaret Garnett. She harked back to her theme a moment as I took my leave of her. "Good­night, Courtlandt," she said. "Please koep Randolph Mason a neutral in this fight It is too fine a struggle to be spoiled by an outsider. If father wins, I shall have this man's head on a charger, if I wish it. If he loses let the victor sell me into slavery."

I turned to call a hansom, when one of the theater attendants touched me on the arm.

"I beg your pardon," he said; "can you tell me if this article belongs to Miss Garnett? It was picked up by an usher in her box." He held in his hand a flat gold locket attached to a chain linking alternately a topaz and an opal. I carried the locket to the light and examined it. The case was without a mark. 1 pulled it open to see If there was any inside, and I found there such a one as left no doubt remaining. The locket contain­ed the picture of her father, and op­posite it, of all persons on & i s earth, the face of Thomas B. Wood.

I returned the locket to the waiting lackey. "It is certainly Miss Gar-nett's," I said; "you would better send it immediately to her residence."

On Thursday morning the counsel of John A. Garnett called on Randolph Mason. When Pietro brought him in­to the office I took him for some cele­brated actor.

"I have the honor," he said, "to ad­dress Mr. JParks, I believe, the secre­tary of Randolph Mason. My name is Alger. I am here on a matter for John A. Garnett"

I hid under a conventional greeting the flaming interest which these words lighted. Here was the envoy which Margaret Garnett said ber fath­er was about to send. I did not know that this meeting was by appointment, until Randolph Mason appeared on the threshold of the folding-doors between the two rooms. He spoke to me.

"I shall be engaged with Mr. Alger for the next half hour. Direct Pietro to admit no one/' Then he went back into the room, followed by the attor­ney. I presently found Pietro, gave him the directions and returned to my table, where I could witness through the folding-doors this conference which Margaret Garnett wished so greatly to prevent It was Randolph Mason who began the conversation.

"Can you give me briefly," be said, "the history of this case?"

The attorney was not moved to a hasty recital by Mason's abrupt impa­tience. He sat down ln a chair be­fore the table, lifted his face, serene with that deep Internal composure common to those who are accustomed to speak the last Irrevocable word, and regarded Randolph Mason aa he doubtless would have regarded some strange, unfamiliar tribunal, to be carefully addressed. When he spoke, his voice was as clear as glass, al­though it seemed to loiter on the sen* fences deliberately.

"I cannot give you this matter brief­ly," be4 said; "a certain elaboration

that large plan to which they are pre­liminary I must be pardoned if I add some collateral features and some comment." h

;y$andolpb Mason's face took ojn an expression of unwilling assent, such an expression as one observes fre­quently on the face of an examiner in tha .courtroom, who,: faJHug to bring his witness clearly to the issue, aban­dons him to his own manner of recital. He sat down i n his chair, .placed hia' hands Idly before'him oh the table

, sand then dropped his body leisurely back, like one hopelessly fated to a long story. These suggestive actions were not lost on the attorney; he knew exactly by what mental concep­tions they were Inspired. A faint shade of color came for an Instant in­to his face and vanished, but his voice deliberately continued:

"The Consolidated Fuel Railroads Company, of which John A. Garnett is/ president and chief owner, is made up of the principal lines running into the Pennsylvania coal fields. They reach some five thousand workings, employ­ing several hundred thousand, men. They'are the avenues by which this product Is conveyed to the seaboard. This railroad company depends for its tonnage, and therefore for its exist­ence, exclusively upon the production of these mines. If these mines are idle the railroad is idle, but with the distinction that a mine can shut down and lie so without expense, while a railroad must continue as an active concern, no matter at what a loss. Now, as you are doubtless aware, an effort is being made to form an alli­ance of these mine workers, f he result is that an epic life struggle ls about to open between the railroad and Its mines on one side and the represen­tatives of the workers on the other, the sort of industrial conflict that means bankruptcy for the one and starvation for the other. The men have not money enough to keep their families for a month, and the railroad com­pany, having no tonnage, will neces­sarily make default in the payment of the interest on bonds, and go into the hands of a receiver."

The attorney paused. His serene face lifted into a beautiful profile. Then he continued:

"The only real authority of this Re­public is the federal courts. They alone, under every emergency, rigidly sustain the law. But a court must have officers. The hand signing the writ must be supported by the hand serving a writ. An order, no matter how fearlessly entered, must fail of its purpose if it be enforced with ex­cuses. I come now to the very heart of this matter. People do not break out Into rebellion unless they have an ally sitting somewhere in author­ity. This 'strike threatened in Penn­sylvania has such an ally. It would fail, it would collapse like a punctured balloon, if bis aid were removed. I do not mean any of the judges; they are incorruptible. I mean Thomas B. Wood, the United States marshal.

"A word must be spoken about this remarkable man to make that charge clear: He is thirty-eight years old; he intends to be a United States sen­ator, and, what is more important for the future, he intends to remain one.

"Bear in mind that Wood's inten­tion was to become a senator. He be­gan, then, with the people. He at­tached himself to all movements in be­half of labor. He observed the clamor of the man with the pick, the man with the apron, the man with* the hammer. He appeared to listen, to consider, presently to be convinced, and, finally, to advocate what they said. Then^ under that law which I do not understand but by virtue of which Mirabeau, a noble, became the idol of the French Revolution, this man, an aristocrat, became a leader of the people. So when his party came presently to national power, the great heads of it found him there to be dealt with. What did he want? They said it with a certain deference. He might have demanded his seat in the upper congress then, but he could not hope to remain there, he bad oo pedestal of gold under him; he was standing on the sands. He chose the position of United States marshal. The leaders gave it with a certain wondering contempt, and dismissed him from their catalogue of fears. He was, tjien, a person of no ambition— one^sxruggling titanically for pottage!

''Immeasurably not so! The politi­cal Warwick of Pennsylvania is John A. Garnett. The power under him ia the Consolidated Fuel Railroads. Wood wished to direct that Warwick, to control that power, therefore he chose wisely the only position in which he could destroy him, that of United States marshal Garnett, usu­ally clear-headed, usually far-sighted, usually running swiftly before events, saw the thing forty-eight hours too late, and, consequently, he is ruined."

"With Wood standing, now between the worker and judges, the greatest industrial contest in our history Is be­ginning. The mines of Pennsylvania will become smoking holes in ' tbe earth; the railroad, two bands of rust, and Garnett a pauper. All this cer­tainly, swiftly, Inevitably, la arriving, unless this man can he removed from office.

*jlt is ruin then, or the man's terms, which are a voting control of the Con-solidated Fuel Railroads, the position of first vice-president a political dic­tatorship above and behind Garnett Then he will resign. With Wood step­ping down from the position of Unit­ed States marshal, the opposition will crash through like a rotten bridge, Garnett's commercial; plana w|H go smoothly onto the piling up ot millions; but Garnett will have a master, and Pennsylvania a senator with a life jten-ure4n office." ,,,, ,., .

The attorney leaned forward In hia la unavoidable. A recital of mere overt acta will not convey a aenae of i chain hie eyes rested stead!)} on Ma­

son, the index finger of his right hand arose in a direct and a slgnifieent ges­ture.

"The problem, the*/* he said, "is to remove Wood without the payment of his price—a thing no man eari do."

" A thing any man can do," replied Randolph Mason.

"How?" said the attorney, his finger still lifted, his voice still impressively deliberate.

"Leave tha't to me," said Mason, "Very wel l / ' he said. "What am I

to do?" "What have you intended to do?"

replied Mason, "I see nothing to do," continued the

attorney, "other than to. accept tbe conditions of Thomas B. Wood—to sur­render, to give him what he de­mands."

"Do it then," said Mason. The voice of the attorney arose

again lingeringly on his words. "You give It up then, you bid me

ruin Garnett?" "I bid you save him," said Mason. "But," continued the attorney,

"when this agreement is once effected, what will be there to save him?"

"I shall be there," replied Randolph Mason.

When the attorney left after his con­ference with Randolph Mason, I wrote a note to Margaret Garnett. "Have a care," I said, "Randolph Mason is no longer neutral/'

The next morning brought an an­swer in the large, firm writing of an Englishwoman: Miss Garnett would be at the Dresden at one o'clock. Would I come there? I was there at the hour, and we lunched together.

In spite of the fact that directness was the first quality in the nature of Margaret Garnett, I thought she ap­proached the subject in question with trepidation. She did not ask me for the story of the conference. She drew out, rather, here and there a feature of it by some subtle query, put in con­sequently in the course of our talk.

Presently, when she knew in general what had happened, her face took on virile firmness.

"Courtlandt," she said, "you are evi­dently not a poet, or else you would see how deplorable a thing it would be to spoil this struggle between my father and Mr. Wood.

"It would be crude, barbaric, ugly to throw to one or the other a balance of power. It would ruin the high dra­matic tone of the game; it would be vandalism, like spoiling a canvas of Raphael, or a manuscript of Horace."

"Miss Garnett," I said, "this is all very beautiful, to quote your own ap­propriate words; but, pardon me, are you not 'giving tongue on the wrong trail?' These lines should be spoken to Randolph Mason, and not to his flattered, but powerless, secretary."

She colored perceptibly; then her face took on resolution. "Very well," she returned, "I will say them to Ran­dolph Mason."

I wished then that I had said noth­ing. It was worse than idle to go on such an errand to Randolph Mason.

There was no escape, so I went with Margaret Garnett in her carriage to Randolph Mason.

I began then, somewhat late in tbe hour, to prepare her for this meeting. I advised her of Mason's curious hab­its, of his unusual abstraction. I warn­ed her against his abrupt, indifferent manner, his rigid, searching, brutal in­quiries. If she had any sensibilities to be hurt, or any fragile ideas of courtesy to be outraged, we would do better to go back on the instant

I was glad of this elaborate warning when the girl stood finally before Ran­dolph Mason.

Mason deliberately laid down the pen in his fingers and lifted his head, with the expression of one who sub­mits out of necessity to an interrup­tion.

"Mr. Mason," the girl began, "I am Margaret Garnett. I wish to inquire why you care so greatly for my father to prevail over Mr. Wood."

"I do not care," he said. The young woman was evidently

surprised. "What interest have you in my father, then?" she inquired.

"I have no interest in him," replied Randolph Mason.

"No interest?" she repeated. "Why did my father's attorney come here?"

"Why do you come here?" returned Mason.

She began to speak then, her voice vibrating like the tense string of a viol. She repeated, but in finer se­quence, all she had said to me on that night of Gafki's drama, and all that she had later said over our luncheon. The spirit of the woman came forth on the flood; she was deeply, vitually, pas­sionately In earnest, speaking against a sacrilege, speaking against a wrong, demanding, urging, pleading with Ran­dolph Mason to remain immovably neutral. Let the struggle between her father and this man be fair. Let its thrilling, dramatic balance remain un­disturbed. She was the one whose in­terest for her father should be deep­est, and she, above all things In this world, wished to see the game played out by the two now seated at the ta­ble. It waa weak, cowardly in her fa­ther to come here for aid. If be could not win alone, fairly, like a man, then she, his daughter, Margaret Garnett, wished him to lose.

The woman thus fired with tran­scendent courage was superb. My blood sang under her words. The nerves in my fingers tingled, but Ran* dolph Mason sat watching her with weary unconcern.. When she had fin­ished he lifted bis face, hard as metal.

"May I inquire," be said, "why you are thus endeavoripg to deceive me?"

The girl, caught her breath aa though she had been dashed with wa* ter,^ *'l am not endeavoring to de­ceive you " she said,

"Why, then," said Mason, "have you made me these lurid speeches?"

"1 have made them," replied the girl, "to acquaint you with my motive tor wishing you to remain neutral.

"Pardon me," said Mason, "you have made them to conceal that motive."

The girl recoiled before this bru­tal thrust, like one before a blow.

I do not understand you," she said. But 1 understand you perfectly,"

replied Randolph Mason. Then he arose and walked past her

out into the hall. I returned over the flag-stone walk

with Miss Garnett to her carriage. I could find no words of adequate apol­ogy "Courtlandt," she said, "tell your cold, unemotional master that since he has so ruthlessly taken from my fingers the weapons of a man, I shall meet him with the weaxjons of a woman."

I closed the carriage door, and she drove away proudly like an empress.

The only occasion on which I have ever known Randolph Mason to go out of New York in any man's behalf was when he went to the residence of John A. Garnett at Bryn Mawr, a suburb of Philadelphia. The railroad magnate and the aspiring marshal had arrived at terms, as I understood it, or, rath­er, the one had accepted in capitula­tion the terms of the other. The con­ference was to conclude this treaty. I accompanied Randolph Mason, as I usually did.

The Garnett residence at Bryn Mawr is one of the most distinctive in America. It is a reproduction in white marble of the Petit Trianon at Versailles, set exquisitely in a forest, with white glistening roads winding among the trees and a brook and a bit of manufactured meadow.

This conference between the richest man in America and the most ambiti­ous was held in the library of this transplanted Parisian lodge.

I could not easily bear in mind in the atmosphere of such a place the hard, practical nature of this meeting. It was the hall of some stately coun­cil of Florence, sitting above the Arno, or, rather—and the fancy became al­most real—it was the council chamber of some doge, where on this night he was to meet the captain of Barbarian armies- lying with bared teeth along the Adriatic, and treat with him for the city. The men in this conference might appropriately have taken the characters of such a scene. Garnett, tall, white, impressively patrician, at­tended, like that doge, by two coun­selors, characteristic, I fancied, of an empire in the evening of decadence— his attorney and Randolph Mason; and the other, this giant, this captain of Barbarian armies, courageously alone.

This romantic medieval fancy per­sisted. It became for an instant even more real when through an opening of the door I saw Margaret Garnett.

She was not listening. She carried rather the air of one depending upon some desperate hazard, the arrival of some event, the sharp stroke of some impending fortune. She went slowly down the steps, her hands slipping along the marble rail of the balusters.

The attorney seated at the table be­gan to read the protocol of treaty which he had drawn, and I came swift­ly back to the commonplace business character of the meeting. The paper was merely an assignment under the legal form of a majority of the com­mon stock of the Consolidated Fuel Railroads to certain persons named by Thomas B. Wood. The attorney ex­plained that, in his opinion, no further writing was necessary. This assign­ment should be placed In escrow. (A fully executed writing, but put into the custody of some third person to hold until the fulfillment of some con­dition), and delivered to Mr. Wood up­on the resignation of his office. It would put a voting control of the rail­road into the hands of his agents, who would carry out his plan.

The strong, masterful face of the United States marshal set in a cynical smile. "This assignment is, I think, sufficient," he said; "but I will hardly take the chance of a legal battle over an escrow, after my resignation shall have been accepted."

The negotiation seemed on the in­stant to be conclusively blocked. Gar­nett insisted upon the protection of an escrow, and Wood upon the pos­session of tbe paper before he irrevo­cably resigned his office.

Randolph Mason came forward then, sat down at the table, dipped a pen in. to the ink pot and turned toward the United States marshal.

"In consideration of the assignment of this stock to your trustees," he said, "you agree, I believe, to resign your office."

"You have It correctly," replied the man. . Randolph Mason drew a writing pad

over to his hand and wrote rapidly a memorandum of the same date as the assignment requesting the considera­tion for the transfer of the stock. He spoke then to the attorney. "Give me the assignment," he said. Then he add­ed a* line at the bottom, showing it to depend upon an agreement of the same date. When be had finished he again addressed the United States marshal. "Prepare your resignation " he said.

Mr. Wood sat down opposite Mason at tho table. He wrote out his resig­nation of the office of United States marshal; then he placed his hand on the paper and spoke to Randolph Ma­son. "I do not see that we are any further along," he said. "I will not consent to an escrow under any agree­ment no matter how explicit."

* y Randolph Mason did not at once re­ply. He presented the jpaper he had written to Mr. Garnett for hie signa­ture,. While the railroad president was signing the assignment, the attor­ney answered for Randolph Maaon, ex-plaining that the agreement should be filed with tht trust company holding

the assignment, In order that terms of the escrow could not he taken.

The powerful hand of Thomas tt. Wood, resting on his written resign* f c

tion, clenched. "I will not consent t » an escrow/' he repeated.

Randolph Mason thrust across fan table tbe paper which he had made out. "Sign that," he said.

The man took the memorandum, mP fixed his signature and laid it on the letter of resignation »oder hia clenched baud His face darkened. *% trust," he said, "that my words are in­telligible I have twice said that I would not consent to an escrow."

"There shall be no escrow," txAA Randolph Mason.

The attorney for J*>hn A. Garnett leaned forward in his chair. "Hoij then," he said, "is Mr. Wood to obtain this assignment?"

"I shall give it to him," replied Ran­dolph Mason. Then he picked up inn assignment and handed it to tbe Hatr­ed States marshal. "Take thin? te said, "and leave on the table the pa­pers under your band."

The shadows in. the resolute face, of Thomas B. Wood vanished. He got up, put the assignment into his pocket, buttoned his great coat, took op hie driving gloves from the table, hade aa good-evening and went out of tne room, down the stairway to his horseav

I came back wonderingly to Ran­dolph Mason. His boast that be would be here to prevent tbe ruin of Garpeti was idle. He /a(her had speeded thai ruin. The attorney regarded him with cold serenity.

'Have you in tact," he asked, "any 'nterest in the success of John A, Gar-nett?"

"I have iiot," he said. Then he con­tinued, .ike one explaining briefly In an annoying query. "1 am interested only In removing this man from hia of­fice, in correcting thereby the wrong of his appointment

"Ah," said the attorney. "I under­stand, then, why you so readily cut from under us tbe only iK>&sibIe foot-bold against this man—that of an en-crow. With Wood once out of office* the delivery of this paper might havn been enjoined."

"Sir," replied Mason, "your purposed flimsy trick was patent even to Wood."

"Perhaps," said the attorney, "bnt In a shipwreck no plank can 6e al­lowed to pass You had no right tn come into this affair, if you had no regard for Mr. Garnett's peril."

"Since I came into the affair," re­plied Randolph Mason, "Mr Garnett has never been in peril.'*

This conversation with Its last en* igmatlc answer of Randolph Uafon was interrupted by the abrupt en­trance of Margaret Garnett

She spoke to Randolph Maaon, Ig­noring the rest of us as though wn were interminably distant

"You, even yot\" sho said, -could not defeat him. He got what he want­ed ln spite of you."

Mason regarded ber with a leisure­ly, ironic interest.

"Thomas B. Wood," he replied, "baa got nothing."

"Nothing!" she repeated. "Do you call a control of my father's railroads nothing? a control of millions noUt-ing? a seat in the United States sen­ate nothing? And what have you tak­en from him for it? indeed, what saw you taken! A paltry federal office!"

"I have taken," replied Randolph Ma­son, "tbe little that he had, and 3 have given nothing." Then he added though likewise in explanation to rest of us, "In the removal of tbta man from his office it was not my In­tention that he should obtain any ben­efit from John A. Garnett."

"Then/* she cried, "jou have failed."

'1 have not fertfoaV' replied" Ran­dolph Mason, speaking with cold pre* cision. "This assignment of •stock was delivered to Thomas B, Wood In consideration of the resignation ef Win office. Such contracts are void an against public policy. The Consol­idated Fuel Railroads will refuse to recognize the validity of this agree­ment, and it cannot be enforced In the courts. It cannot avail this naan that the paper is in legal form and recites another and valid consider* tion, when tbe moving consideration was in fact the resignation of a fed* eral office."

The' atmosphere of a victory rising about John A. Garnett waa leas Im­pressive than that atmosphere of dis­aster fallen thus swiftly on,hia daugh­ter. The wondrous vitality-of ber fig­ure vanished; the light fled from the silver, the blood from the( porcelain. Then, as by some masterful effort going to the very springs of Hfe, it all splendidly returned. She looked steadily at Randolph Mason, her eyes two lines of light*

"I repeat it," she said slowly,, "yon bave failed. This man shall reeeJvn everything that he expected to rn-ccive—my father's influence, the con­trolling interest in this railroad, and a seat in the United States senate."

The lips of Randolph Mason parted ln a cynical smile. "i should he In­terested to learn," he said, "by what avenue of propitious fortune he la tn obtain these benefits."

' "I shall marry him," replied Ma* garet Garnett.

"And Mr. Slosson, Uncle Bob—did you smack him like you smacked Dave Blount that day when he tried to steal me?" asked ttannibai, whose childish sense of justice demanded reparation for the wrongs they had suffered.

W r c ^ ^«aded a^ big right hand, the knuckle of which was skinned and bruised.

"He were the meanest man I ever felt obliged fo' to bit with my Hot Nevvy; it appeared like be bad teeth all over bis face."

^aho'—Where 's bis bide, Uncle bob?" cried the Uttle Cavendishes in an excited chorus. "Sho*—did you for­get that?" They themselves had for­gotten the unique enterprise to which Mr. Yancy was committed, but tbe allusion to Slosson had revived their memory of it.

"Well, he begged so piteous to be allowed to' to keep his bide. I hadn't the heart to strip lt off," explained Mr. Yancy pleasantly. "And the winter's comln' on—at this moment j?an. .|o»i a chill in "tbe air^dbn't you-ail reckon he's going* to need It fo' to keep the cold out? Sho', you mustn't be bloody-minded!"

"What was It about Mr. Slosson's bide. Uncle Bob?" demanded Hanni­bal. "What was you a-goln/ to do to that?"

"Why, Nevvy, after he beat me up and throwed me in the river, I was some peevish fo' a spell ln my feel­ings fo' him," said Yancy in a tone of gentle regret. He glanced at his bruised band. "But I'm right pleased to be able to say that I've got over all them oncharltable thoughts or mine."

"And you seen the judge, Uncle Bob?" questioned Hannibal.

"Yes, I've seen the judge. We was together fo' part of a day. Me and him gets on fine?"

"Where is he now, Uncle Bob?" "1 reckon he's back at Belle Plain

by this time. You see we left him in Raleigh along after noon to 'tend to some business he had on hand. 1 never seen a gentleman of h i s weight so truly spry on h i s legs—and all about you, Nevvy; while as to mind! Sho'—why, words flowed out ot bim as naturally as water put of a branch."

Of Hannibal's relationship to the judge he said nothing. He felt that was a secret to be revealed by the judge himself when he should see flt.

"Uncle Bob, who'm I going to live with now?" questioned Hannibal anx­iously.

'That p'int's already come up, Nevvy—him and me's decided that there won't be no friction. You-ail will just go on living with him."

"But what about you, Uncle Bob?" cried Hannibal, lifting a wistful little face to Yancy's.

*'Oh, me?—well, you-ail wi l l go right on living with me."

"And what wil l come ot Mr. Ma­haffy?"

"I reckon you-all wil l go right on living with him, too."

Tbe Judge fteeeiyes a Letter. After he bad parted with Solomon

Mahaffy the judge applied himself diligently to shaping that miracle* working document which he was pre­paring atT ah offset rto whatever risk he ran ln meeting Fentress. As san­guine as he was sanguinary he confi­dently expected to survive tbe en­counter, yet it was well to provide for a possible emergency—had he not bis grandson's future to consider? While thus occupied be saw the afternoon stage arrive and depart from before the City Tavern, ' Half an hour later Mr. Wesley, the

postmaster,, came sauntering up the street In bis band be carried a let­ter.

"Howdy," be drawled, from just be­yond the judge's open door.

Tbe judge glanced up, bis quiu pen poised aloft.

"Good evening, sir; won't you step inside and bo seated?" be asked gra­ciously. His dealings with tbe United States mall service were of the most insignificant description, and in per* sonally delivering a letter, if this was .what bad brought bim there, he felt iMr. Wesley had reached the limit of official courtesy and despatch.

"Weff; it*} Itlooksilke you'd bever told us more than two^irdi of tbe triitit!" said tbe PCrstmaster. He sur-

I Vexed tbe Judge curiously. "I am complimented by your opln-

Idm df iby T^ra4tT/ responded tbat tewtleman promptly; "I oo&tldir two-

tnird9 an enormously high per cent to nave achieved."

•*Tbere is something ln that, too," agreed Mr. Wesley. "Who is Colonel Slocum Price TurberviUe?"

The judge started up from his chair.

"I have that honor," said he, bow­ing.

"Well* here's a letter come in ad­dressed like that, and as you've been using part of the name X am willing to assume you're legally entitled to the /rest of i t It clears up a point that off and on has troubled me con--siderable. I can only wonder X wa*nJt smarter."

"What point, may I ask?" "Why, about the time you hung out

your shingle here, some one wrote a letter to General Jackson. It was mailed after night and when I seen it in the morning I was clean beat I couldn't locate the handwriting, and yet I kept tbat letter back a couple of days and give it all my spare time. It ain't that I'm one of your spying sort—there's nothing of the Yankee about me!"

Certainly not," agreed the judge. Candid, judge. I reckon you wrote

that letter, seeing this one comes un­der a frank from Washington. No, sir —I couldn't make out who was cor­responding with the president, and it worried me, not knowing, more than anything I've had to contend against since I came into office. I calculate there ain't a postmaster ln the United States takes a more personal Interest in the service than me. I've frequent­ly set patrons right when they was in doubt as to the date they had mailed such and such a letter." As Mr. Wesley sometimes canceled as many as three or four stamps in a

aud that a quid of tobacco waa throwed ln anger/* Having; thus clear­ly established the fact tbat be waa a more or less national character. Mr* Wesley took himself off.

"Recalls me with sincere esteem and consid­ers my services to the country as well worthy of recognition—" the judge breathed deep. What would Mahaffy find to say now!

No Strangers Allowed. Frank H . Hitchcock, the postmaster

general of the United States, takes the deepest interest in gven the smallest details of the postal service. One eve­ning he was at the Union station in Washington, when he decided to go into one of the railway mail service cars to see how the mail matter was being handled. Being a tall man and very athletic, he easily swung himself from the platform into the car, but ho did not find it an easy matter to stay put. A burly postal clerk grabbed hira by the shoulders, propelled him toward the side door, and practi 1

cally ejected him to the platform be­low.

"What do you mean by that?" ask­ed Hitchcock indignantly.

"I mean to keep you out of this car," replied the clerk roughly. "That fellow Hitchcock*has given us strict orders to keep all strangers Out of these cars."—Popular Magazine.

NO MEDICINE But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen­tary canal—stomach and bowels.

A great deal of our stomach and bowel troubles come from eating too much starchy and greasy food.

The stomach does not digest any of the starchy food we eat—white bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.— these things are digested in the small intestines, and if we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should digest this kind of food are overcome by excess of work, so that fermenta­tion, indigestion, and a long train of ails result.

Too much fat also is hard to digest and this is changed into acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a. bloated, heavy feeling. ,

In these conditions a change from indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders ,|n ( not only relieving the distress but in building up a strong digestion, clear brain and [steady nerves. A Wash, woman •writes:

"About five years ago I suffered with bad stomach—dyspepsia, indiges­tion, constipation—caused, I know

[now, from overeating starchy and j greasy food. [ "I doctored for two years without any benefit. Tbe doctor told me there was no\bure for me. I could not eat anything vvwithout Buffering severe pain tn my"baok and sides, and 1 be­came discouraged.

"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts and I began to use it. In leas than two weeks I began to feel better and Inside of two months I was a well woman and have been ever since.

Newspapers and Literature. All this over emphasis of the un­

meaning surface is due to a confusion of newspaper and literary standards, ends, aims. The word literary has come to. suggest an absence of red-blood; epjnners and knitters in the sun; the 35"cent magazine crowd; this is non­sensical, of course. In its elemental meaning literature is at least as stern & lab as journalism, albeit the inten­tion and function of the latter is mere­ly to present things that happen, of the former to volatilize such material Into hovering and potent meanings, to strike the rock and raise a spirit that Is life.

Built Her Owrr Home. ;

Miss Frances Lyon of Westwood has the distinction of being the only woman in "New England who lives in a house literally built with her own hands. Miss Lyons belongs to a club whose members are practicing the doc­trine of going back to the farm. The club is limited to 40 members and owns property to the amount of $1,000 and about 70 acres of farming land not far from Westwood. Each member holds a deed to one acre and the bal­ance of the land is held in common to be rented to any member who wishes to try farming on a larger scale.

House Plans Important. The care in the home and all other

forms of household work are greatly facilitated by right planning and the use of suitable materials for the construction and furnishing of the home. An adequate and* convenient water supply and other conveniences are essential, not only for comfort and for saving labor, but also from the standpoint of home hygiene.

PRETTY LAMP SHADES •t 1

SOME NEW IDEAS A N D NOVEL S H A P E S iRE^OtfT. I

Color Scheme Is Main Idea In Ar* rangement That Colhes From

Pi»ris««-Distinct and Sharp . Outlines in Favor. 1

--Paris has**at- tbe fashions in , two novel shapes in lamp shades. The soft silks of which they are made must be of the same tone, when not precisely; of the exact shade, as the room's color scheme* > This silk, shailowly fluted, is fitted about the Joundation of finest wire in a rounded or distinctly point­ed oblong. None of tho shades are perfect Circles, and in this respect; their shapes differ radically from those formerly fashionable. Another marked difference is that the top opening is not materially narrower than is the bottom opening. Conse­quently, the shade has a rather tall appearance, sometimes oddly at vari­ance with the base of the lamp which it surmounts. On these new shades there are no frills or ballet dancer skirt effects. Their outlines are kept sharp and distinctive, and although they are trimmed with garlands of tiny flowers and foliage in silk, these garnishlngs are placed about the cen­ter of the shade while the top and bot­tom edges are finished with the nar­rowest of headings, These finishings, attached with the utmost neatness and regularity, consist of the dissect­ed necklaces in composit ion.^ glass or coral, which cost only a retail sum and may be obtained in any of the shades needed for one of these Em­pire shades, as they are called in Paris. Another way-of making the rounded or distinctly pointed oblong shade is to stamp upon the plain silk a fine design in Grecian pattern, and then embroider it with the tiniest of crystal beads in the same tone as the covering material, which, of course, is not fluted. The light of the lamp shining through these* beads gives them a charming radiance like unto jewels, and the design stands out in amazing relief. A shade thus em­broidered should have its edges fin­ished with the finest of silk cordage, and if this cannot be obtained in a tone accurately matching the silk, white cordage should be specially dyed for the purpose, for the idea is to make the beading on the center of the article the chief attraction. There­fore, no other detail must be promi­nent.

Turnip Charlotte. Cook slices of carrot and turnips

one-fourth of an inch thick until ten­der, drain and use them to line a but­tered charlotte mold. Boil white turnips until tender; drain and press through a fine sieve. To one cup of puree add one-fourth of a teaspoon salt, a dash of white pepper, a grat­ing of nutmeg, one-fourth of a cup of thick cream and, lastly, the stiff beaten whites of three eggs. Bake in the decorated mold, standing in a pan of hot water until the center be­comes firm. Turn from the mold and serve with white sauce.

Tapioca Custard Pudding. One-half cup of pearl tapioca soaked

over night in plenty of cold water. Next day throw off all the water, add one pint of milk, two eggs beaten, two even tablespoons of sugar, very little nutmeg, one-half tea'spoon salt, one even tablespoon of butter. .Bake slowly, so the custard wil l not boil. If it should boil it will be watery, Rice custard pudding is made the same, by omitting the tapioca and putting in three-quarters cup of boiled rice.

Banana Cake. Three eggs, two cups sugar, one

cup milk, two tablespoons butter (scant), one teaspoon soda (even), two . teaspoons cream of tartar, es­sence of lemon, three even cups flour. Bake in four layers.

Banana Filling.—Mash three or four bananas with a fork, juice of one lemon, two-thirds cup sugar, one egg. Boil until thick, stir all the time. Spread between layers. Sprinkle con­fectioner^ sugar on top.

Finger Cakes.. Beat four eggs very light; add two

teaspoons of vanilla extract and two cups of granulated sugar. Stir in two cups of flour, sifted with three tea spoons of baking powder and a tea­spoon of salt Then add flour to make a stiff dough. Roll into a thin sheet, sprinkle with sugar, cut out with a "finger" cutter and bake in a quick oven. This amount makes about forty little cakes, which are excellent with fruit or ice cream.

To Freshen Carpet. If your carpet looks dusty and dull

after being swept, add two teaspoon-fuls of ammonia to half a gallon of cold water, wring a clean cloth out of it, and withH&is rub the carpet thor­oughly all over. Rinse your cloth fre­quently and change the water if it gets very dirty.

Cake Tin Arrangement. When filling a cake tin remember

that tbe center of the cake is the Part which* w|U usually be the highest, sp spread the batter as much to the sides as possible, leaving a depression in tbe center; then the cake, when baked, wild be'level and much more convenient for icing.

"Eutered as second-class matter June 8, 1912, at the postoffice at Pinckney, Mich­igan, under the Act of March 8, 1879. t»

Uncle Sain Wants Farmers Un cle Sam wants five hundred

men to take up homes on the irri­gation projects he has been build ing in the West. More than 800, 000 acres are receiving water from tbe government ditches' and late reports from the field indicate that bumper crops have rewarded the farmer in practically aU sect­ions of the irrigated West. The crop yields on the projects of the Reclamation Service are truly re­markable in view of tbe fact that much of the land is practically new and many of tbe farmers were unfamiliar with irrigation methods until they acquired these farms.

A surprising feature that im­presses visitors to these lands is the .modern conditions that already surround the settler on many of the projects. Rural telephones, centralized graded schools, good transportation facilities, and towns at short intervals are some of the things that rob life on these new lands of many of tbe the trials of pioneering.

The available lands are all in tbe Northwest, mainly in Mon­tana, South Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho. This is the best season of tbe year to make personal inspect­ion of the farms, and different railroads offer low round trip rates to various sections. Residence does not have to be established for six months after filing and tbe act of June 6,1912, reduces the re­quired residence from five to three years. Payments for water right are divided into 10 anneal instaU meets, and if necessary 5 months leave of absence is permitted, so that it is practical for a man with from $1,000 to $2,000 capital to ac­quire one one of these desirable farms and make it pay. Booklets and information will be furnished on request by tbe Statistican of the Reclamation Service at Wash­ington, D. G.

Tbe Youth's Companion The publishers of The Youth's

Companion will, as always at this season, present to every subscrib­er whose subscription ($2.00) is paid for 1913, a beautiful souvenir This year it takes tbe unique form a Window Transparency, to be hung in the window or in front of a lighted lamp. Through it the light shines as through the stain­ed glass of a cathedral window softly illuminating the design—a figure of Autumn laden with frai% aud all around, wreathed in clusters of grapes and green foliage, is the circle of the months. It is the most attractive gift ever sent to Companion readers,
