.There was a fracas at the Globe office
:yesterday afternoon, ana perhaps the
truth about It will be Interesting. For
many years, railroad officials have had
a habit of visiting towns on their lines
once a year. Lod by the local agent, they
• visit the newspaper offices, althought the
rxatlroad officials do not care to see the
• editors. We have stood this for twenty
nlnc years, owing to passes, but passes
having been withdrawn January 1. 1007,
we rebelled yesterday; when Jim Oarslde
appeared at this office with a party of
Santa Fe officials, we refused to let them
in. We regarded Jim tlarslde as the prin
cipal offender, since he knew the officials
did not care to see ub, and since we have
often told him we did not care to see the
officials, therefore we pushed him down
the steps, which started the story that
there had been a light. In the railroad
party were the general manager, the pas
senger truffle manager, the general pas
senger agent, the second vice president,
and two or three officials whose names we
did not learn. We are tired of these offi
cials looking over our office with a super
ior air which seems to say; “These dubs

ant intend to stand It any longer.
CHANGE IN FOOD

tfc food can cure dyspepsia. "I deem

Grape-Nuts food has cured me of Indi

"I had been troubled with It for

and now I am entirely well.

The reason this lady was helped by
•the nse of Grape-Nuts food Is that It
Is predlgested by natural processes and
therefore does not tax the stomach as
the.- food she had been using; It also
contains the elements required for
Aolldlng up the nervous system. If
dhat part of the humau body Is in per
fect working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system Is run

The Holladay Case

Then, in that first moment of inac-1
tivity, the fear of Martlgny came back
upon me, Had he really gone to the
hotel? Had he deemed us not worth
watching? Or had he watched? Was
he on the train with us? Was he able
to follow? The more I though of him,
the more I doubted my ability to de
ceive him.
I looked out cautiously from the win
dow, up and down the platform, but
saw no sign of him, and in a moment
more we rattled slowly away over the
switches I sank back into my seat
with a sigh of relief. Perhaps I had
really blinded him!
An hour's run brought us to Reuze
vllle, where we were dumped out, to
gether with out luggage, in a little
frame station. An official informed us
that we must wait there three hours
for the train for Les Ifs. Beyond that?
He could not say. We might possibly
reach Etretat next day.
"How far is Les Ifs from here?” in
quired my companion.
"About twelve kilometers, monsieur.”
"And from there to Etretat?”
"Is twenty kilometers more, mon
sieur.”
"Thirty-two kilometers altogether,”
said Mr. Royce. "That’s about twenty
miles. Why can’t we drive Lester? We
ought to cover it easily in three hours—
four at the most."
Certainly it seemed better than wait
ing on the uncertain railway, and we
sat at once about the work of finding
a vehicle. I could be of little use, since
English was an unknown tongue at
Beuzeville, and even Mr. Royce's
French was sorely taxed, but we suc
ceeded at last in securing a horse and
light trap, together with a driver who
claimed to know the road. All this had
taken time, and the sun was setting
when we finally drove away northward.
The road was smooth and level—they
manage their road making better in
France—and we bowled along at a good
rate past cultivated fields with little
dwellings like doll houses dotted here
and there. Occasionally we passed a
man or woman trudging along the road
but as the darkness deepened, it be
came more and more deserted. In an
hour and a half from Beuzevllle, we
reached Les Ifs, and here we stopped
for a light supper. We had cause to
congratulate ourselves that we had se
cured a vehicle at Beuzevllle, for we
learned that no train would start for
Etretat until morning. The damage
wrought by the storm of two days be
fore had not yet been repaired, and
the wires were still down, and we were
warned that the road was badly washed
in places.
Luckily for us, the moon soon arose,
so that we got forward without much
difficulty, though slowly; and an hour
before midnight, we pulled up triumph
antly before the Hotel Blanquet, the
principal inn of Etretat. We lost no
time in getting to bed; for we wished
to be up betimes in the morning, and
I fell asleep with the comforting be
lief that we had at last eluded Mon
sieur Martigny.
CHAPTER XVII.
ETRETAT.
We were up at an hour which as
tonished the little fat keeper of the
inn, and Inquired the location of the
office of the registrar of births. It was
two steps away in the Rue Alphonse
Karr, but would not be open for three '
hours at least. Would messieurs have
their coffee now? No, messieurs would
not have their coffee until they re
turned. Where would they find the
residence of the registrar of births?
His residence, that was.another matter.
His residence was some little distance
away, near the Casino, at the right—
we should ask for Maitre Fingret—any
one could tell us. When should mes
sieurs be expected to return? It was
Impossible to say.
We went ofT along the street, leaving
the innkeeper staring after us—along
the Rue Alphonse Karr, lined on both
sides by houses, each with its little
shop on the ground floor. Three min
utes' walk brought us to the bay, a
pretty, even picturesque place, with its
perpendicular cliffs and gayly colored
fishing smacks. Rut we paused for
only a glance at it, and turned toward
the Casino at the other end. "Maitre
Fingret?” wo inquired of the first
passerby, and he pointed to a little
; house half hidden in vines.
A knock brought the notary himself
~.- .*» ui mail, wilii
keen face, and eyes incredibly bright.
My companion explained our errand in
laborious French, supplemented by
much gesticulation—it is wonderful
how the hands can help one to talk! —
and after a time the little Frenchman
caught his meaning, and bustled away
to get his hat and coat, scenting a
fat fee. Our first step was to be an
easy one, thanks to the severity and
thoroughness of French administration,
but I admit that I saw not what we
should do further, once we had verified
the date of Miss Holladay’s birth. The
next step must be left to chance
The notary unlocked the door, showed
us Into his office, and set out chairs
for us. Then lie got down his register
of births for 1876. It was not a large
book, for the births of Etretat are not
overwhelming in number.
"The name, I think you said, was
Holladay?" he asked.
"Hiram W. Holladay,” nodded Mr.
Royce.
"And the date June 10th?”
"Yes—June 10th."
The little man ran his finger rapidly
down the page, then went back again
and read the entries one by one more
slowly, with a pucker of perplexity
about his lips. He turned the leaf, be
gan farther back and read through the
list again, while we sat watching him.
At last he shut the book with a little
snap and looked at us.
"Messieurs," he said quietly, "no
such birth Is recorded here. I have
examined the records for the months
of May, June, and July."
"But it must be there!" protested Mr.
Royce.
"Nevertheless it is not here, Mon
sieur."
Could the child have been born here
and no record made of It?"
"Impossible, monsieur. No physician
in France would take that responsi
bility."
"For a large fee, perhaps," suggested
my companion.
"In Paris that may, sometimes, be
possible. But in a small place like
this, I should have heard of it, and it
would have been my duty to investi
gate-."
"You have been here for that length
of time, then?”
"Oh. yes, monsieur," smiled the little
man. "For a much longer time than
that."
I Mr. Royce leaned forward toward
him. He was getting back all his
i old power as a cross-examiner,
i "Monsieur Fingert,” he began fm
i pressively, “I am quite certain that
Hiram W. Holladay and his wife were
here during the months of May, June
and July, 1876, and that while they
were here, a daughter was born to
them. Think again—have you no re
collection of them or of the event?”
The little notary sat for some mo
ments with knitted brows. At last he
shook his head.
"That would be the height of the
season, you see, monsieur," he said
apologetically. "There are a great
many people here, at that time, and I
cannot know all of them. Never
theless, it seemed to me for a moment
that there W’as about the name a cer
tain familiarity—as of an old tune, you
know, forgotten i£r years. Yet it must
have been my fancy merely, for I have
no recollection of the event you men
tion. I cannot believe that such a
birth took place at Etretat."
There was another chance and I gave '
Mr. Royee the clew.
"Monsieur Flngert,” he asked, "are
you acquainted with a man by the
name of Pierre Bethune?”
And again the notary shook his head.
"Or Jasper Martingy?”
"I never before heard either name,
monsieur," he answered.
We sat silent a moment, in despair.
Was our trip to Etretat to be of no
avail? Where was my premonition
now? If we had lost the trail thus
early in the chase, what hope was
there that we should ever run down
the quarry? And how explain the fact
that no record had been made of
Frances Holladay's birth? Why should
her parents have wished to conceal it?
Would they not naturally have been
anxious to see that it was properly re
corded?
An hour had passed; the shops were
opening cmd a bustle of life reached us
through the open door. People began
to pass by twos and threes.
"The first train for three days Is
about to arrive,” said the little notary.
"You see, this Is a very small town,
messieurs. The arrival of a train is
an event.
Again we fell silent. Mr. Royce got
out his purse and paid the fee. We
had come to an impasse—a closed way.
we could go no farther. I could see
that the notary was a-hunger for his
roll and coffee. With a sigh. I arose to
go The notary stepped to the door
and looked up the street.
''Ah,” he said, "the train has arrived,
but it seems there was not many pas
sengers. Here is one, though, who has
finished a long journey."
He nodded to someone who approach
ed slowly, it seemed. He was before
the door—he passed on—it was Mar
tigny!
"That is the man!” I cried to Mr.
Royce. "That is Martigny! Ask who
he really is.”
He understood on the instant, and
caught the notary’s arm.
"Monsieur Fingert, who is that
man?”
The notary glanced at him, surprises
by his vehemence.
"That,” he said, "is Victor Fajolle.
He is just home from America and
seems very ill, poor fellow.”
“And he lives here?”
"Oh, surely; on the cliffs just above
the town—the first house—you cannot
miss it—buried in a grove of trees. Ha
married the daughter of Madame Alii
some years ago—he was from Paris.”
"And his wife is living?"
“Oh, surely, she is living; she her
self returned from America but three
W'eeks ago, together with her mother
and sister. The sister, they say, is—
well-” and he finished with a signi
ficant gesture toward his head.
I saw my companion’s face turn
white—I steadied myself with an ef
fort. I knew that, at last, the veil was
to be lifted.
“And they are at home now?”
"I believe so,” said the notary, eying
him with more and more astonishment.
“They have been keeping close at home
since their return—they will permit no
one to see the—Invalid. There has
been much talk about it." •
“Come, we must go!” I cried. “He
must not get there before us!”
Rut a sudden light gleamed in the
notary’s eyes.
“Wait, messieurs! he cnied. “A mo
ment. But a moment. Ah, I remem
ber it now—it was the link which was
wanting, and you have supplied it—
Holladay. a millionare of America, his
wife, Madame Alix—she did not live
in the villa, then, messieurs. Oh, no;
she was very poor, a nurse—anything
to make a little money; her husband,
who was a fisherman, was drowned,
and left her to take care of the child
ren as best she could. Ah, I remember
—one a mere baby!”
He had got down another book, and
was running his finger rapidly down
the page—1/is finger all a-tremble with
excitement. Suddenly he stopped
with a little cry of triumph.
“Here it is. messieurs! I knew 1
could not be mistaken! See!”
Under the date of June 10. 1876, was
an entry of which this is the English:
“Holladay, Hiram W., and Elizabeth,
his wife, of the city of New York,
i United States of America; from Celeste
Alix, widow of Auguste Alix, her
daughter Celeste, aged 5 months. All
claim surrendered in consideration of
the payment of 25.000 francs.”
Mr. Boyce caught up the book and
glanced at the back. It was the “Rec
ord of Adoptions.”

“But supposing I didn't skip about just

‘‘then I’d be all mixed up.”

HOT WEATHER AHEAD.
How to Keep the Kitchen Cool and
Comfortable in Mid-Summer.
Many a housewife is wondering how she
Will pass through the coming summer
months with the stove she well knows will
make the kitchen unbearably hot—to eay
nothing of the dirt, dust and ashes that
will add to the discomfort.
There is a way out of it all—a way that
not only lessens the work and keeps the
kitchen cool, but that also reduces fue!
expense. This convenience, comfort and
economy is all effected by the New Per
fection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove,
an oil stove so superior to other makes
that it is fast replacing the coal and wood
range, the old fashioned oil stove, and in
many cases the gas stove.
Anyone who has had to wait ten or fif
teen minutes for the fire to get started
will appreciate the New Perfection, which
gives a strong working flame at moment
of lighting. “Blue Flame” means the hot
test and cleanest flame produced by any
stove. The flame Is always under Imme
diate control and can be raised or lowered
instantly. The convenience of this will be
understood when it is considered that
while the flame of one burner is boiling
the kettle or roasting a large joint, that of
another can be reduced to simmering point
—in this way enabling the housewife to
cook a variety of dishes at one time.
Then the comfort of it. While the flamt
of the New Perfection Is intensely hot,
yet the heat is not thrown off into the
kitchen because it is concentrated by blue
enameled chimneys.
On washing and ironing days the com
fort and convenience of the New Perfec
tion will be greatly appreciated. It gives
best results in the least time, and does
away with all coal and wood carrying and
the many other disagreeable jobs that
have to be done with other stoves. The
New Perfection is made in three sizes,
with one, two, and three burners, and is
warranted to give full satisfaction.
Another home comfort is the Kayo
Lamp, which produces a light of unusual
brightness, yet soft and mellow—a light
that will not hurt the eyes. The Hayo
Lamp can be used in any room, whether it
be library, dining-room, parlor or bed
room. It is highly ornamental, being made
of brass throughout and beautifully nick
eled. Every lamp is warranted and makes
a valuable and handsome addition to any
home.
The New Perfection Wick Blue Flame
Oil Cook-Stove and the Hayo Lamp are
two real essentials to home comfort. Their
easy operation, absolute safety and hand
some appearance commend them wherever
stoves and lamps are used.

INDIANA PEOPLE IN WESTERS
CANADA.
“Wh»t Shall We Oof I’ve Got to
Bail* Granaries.”
A letter written to a Canadian gov
ernment agent from Tipton, Ind., is
but one of many similar that are in
the hands of the Canadian government
agents whose privilege it is to offer one
hundred and sixty acres of land free,
and low railway fares. But here is a
copy of the letter:
“Tipton, Ind., Nov. 28, 1900.
“At your earnest solicitation a party
of us from Tipton left May 15 for
Western Canada. Our Interviews with
you and a cureful study of your litera
ture led us to expect great things of
your country when we should arrive
there, and we were not disappointed.
We went prepared to make a careful
examination of the country and its re
sources, and we did so. At early dawn
the second morning out of Tipton we
awoke in a new world. As far as the
eye could reach was an apparently lim
itless expanse of new sown wheat and
prairie grasses. The vivid green of
the wheat just beginning to stool out,
and the inky blackness of the soil con
trasted in a way beautiful to see. An ^
hour or two later we steamed into
Winnipeg. Here we found a number of
surprises. A hundred thousand souls
well housed, with every convenience
that goes to make a modern, up-to-date
city-—banks, hotels, newspapers, stores,
electric lights, street railways, sewer
age, water works, asphalt pavements,
everything. With eyes and ears open,
we traveled for two thousand miles
thrnncrh Vfnnitnhn Snclfitphownn nnil
Alberta, going out over the Canadian
Pacific Railway, via Calgary to Edmon
ton and returning to Winnipeg over
the Canadian Northern Railway. In
the meantime we made several side
trips and stopped off at a number of
points where we made drives into the
surrounding country. On every hand
were evidences of prosperity. The
growing wheat, oats, rye, flax, barley,
not little patches, but great fields,
many of them a square mile in extent,
the three, five and sometimes seven
horse teams laying over an inky black
ribbon of yellow stubble, generally in
furrows straight as gun barrels and
at right angles from the roads stretch
ing into the distance, contrasted
strangely with our little fields at home.
The towns, both large and small, were
doubly conspicuous, made so, first by
their newness and second by the tow
ering elevators necessary to hold the
immense crops of wheat grown in the
immediate neighborhood.
“The newness, the thrift, the hustle,
the sound of saw and hammer, the
tents housing owners of buildings in
various stages of completion, the piles S
of household effects and agricultural
implements at the railway stations
waiting to be hauled out to the
•Claims,’ the occasional steam plow
turning its twenty or thirty acres a
day, the sod house, the unpainted house
of wood, the up-to-date modern resi
dence with large red barn by, all these
were seen everywhere we went, an ear
nest of prosperity and wealth to be.
We talked with men and visited their
places that four years ago was unbro- J
ken prairie. Their houses, barns, im
plements and live stock were the equal
of anything in Tipton County and why
not. when they were raising five, ten
and twenty, yes in one instance forty
thousand bushels of wheat a year.
Tlie fact that such large yields of
wheat are raised so easily and so sure
ly impressed us very favorably. And
when we saw men who four or five
years ago commenced there with two
or three thousand dollars, and are now
as well fixed and making money much
easier and many times faster than lots
of our acquaintances on Indiana farms
fifty years cleared and valued at four
times as much, we decided to Invest.
So we bought in partnership a little
over two thousand acres, some of it
improved and in wiieat.
"Before leaving Indiana, we agreed
that if the opportunities were as great
as they were represented to be, that
we would buy, and own in partnership
a body of land, and leave one of our
number to iook arter anu operate u.
This we accordingly did.
“Just before time to thresh I re
ceived n letter from him. ‘What shall
we do,’ said he, ‘I've got to build gran
aries. There’s so much wheat that the
railways are just swamped. We can’t
get cars and the elevators are all full.
I never saw anything like it.' In re
ply we wrote ‘Good for you. Go ahead
and build, your story sounds better
than the letters we used to get from
our friends in Kansas when they be
wailed the fact that the hard wheat
laid been destroyed by the chinch bugs
aud the corn by hot winds, and that
they must sell the stock for means to
live on.’ ‘Yes, build by all means.’
And he did, and our wheat put in by
a renter made twenty-seven bushels
per acre.
