ERIEF ABOUT READY.
And Will Soon Ee Filed in Supreme
Court.
Arthur Muller has prepared a part
of the brief which be will file in sup
port of his application to 'the supreme
court fee a rehearing of the case of
State vs. Ragan, in which the Donohoe
non-partisan judiciary act was declared
invalid. Thus far Mullen has treated
only the limitation of signers to ,'00
in each county. He points out that
this provision is only in line with the
general acceptance as a fact that the
power of nomination is not as free as j
the power of voting. He also urges j
that this limitation was only in line
with the accepted fact that the legis
lature may make necessary restric
tions in election laws. He then points
out that voters are restricted in alt
states where a certain percentage of
the total vote must vote each ticket in
order for the party to have a legal
standing. In Nebraska a party must
poll 1 per cent, in Minnesota 10 and in
other states varying proportions.
Hu also points out that if the limita
tion of the Donohoe act was illegal
that something may be wrong with
the federal constitution which will not
permit an elector to vote for a vioe
president and a president from the
same state. Along this line he points
out that tux presidential electors are
named in six congressional districts of
the state and two at large. Conse
quently no voter in the state has a
right to dictate the nomination of
more than three of the eight electors
in Iiis state. He also urges that if the
Donohoe act is invalid on account of
Us invasion of the Dili of rights that
tlie present convention act is out of
line.
Companies Must Prove Themselves.
Companies which propose to begin
the insurance business on a very
strong basis may be required to prove
tlie genuiness of their intentions in
Nebraska, according to the statement
made by State Auditor Barton, after
his return from the meeting of state
insurance commissioners at Denver.
It is merely a question of whether the
mom y received from stock sales is
actually used to build up a surplus or
to feather the nests of promoters.
A characteristic scheme for such
promoters to use is for the promoter
to approach one well up financially
and assure him that there is a gilt
edged proposition ahead, wherein $100
share of stock is to be sold for $200.
this extra $100 being turned into the
company for a working surplus. This
idea carried out, would provide the
basis of a strong company. But it
seems that this surplus is usc-d largely
lor promoting purposes and that some
of the more unscrupulous of such com
panies thus charge the subscriber $100
for taking $200 away from him with
little promise to make good.
Australia Interested in Guaranty.
Richard A. Crouch of Australia, writ
ing on a Parliament letterhead, has re
quested the governor to send him a
copy of the Nebraska depository law
enacted by the late legislature. Mr.
Crouch wrote that he understood Ne
braska had passed such a law and he
desired full information concerning it.
Complaint Against Saloon.
R. D. Evans of Dakota county has
written to the legal department of
the state to the effect that he believes
the Sioux City Brewing company and
the Inter-State Brewing company of
that city are violating the law both of
Nebraska and Iowa. He said these
companies haul their beer into Ne
braska and ship it back to Iowa and
by tliis way lie says they violate the
law of both states.
Object to Lowering Rates.
At Lyons the Home Telephone com
pany concluded to reduce its rates and
proposed that the state railway com
mission grant the authority. Before
the commission got busy, however, the
Lyons Independent Telephone com
pany. which has not yet started busi
ness, appealed to the commission to
permit it to show cause why these
rates should not be reduced. The hear
ing will be granted.
Pullman Seats Free.
At 'tlie request of the I'nion Pacific
ited the Pullman company, the State
Railway commission has modified its
orrler relating to the sale of seat tic
kets on trains Nos. 7 and 8 of the
Union Pacific, The new order issut?d

Beubler will act as his deputy.
The places of the Burlington train
men at Wymore, who were discharged
for taking goods from ears in transit,
are being filled by new men. In ah.

SYNOPSIS.
“Mad” Dah Maitland, on reaching Ids
New York bachelor club, met an attrac
tive young woman at the door. Janitor
O’Magan assured him no one had teen
within that day. Dan discovered a wom
an’s linger prints in dust on his <l.*sk,
along vrith a letter from his attorney.
Maitland dined with Bannerman. his at
torney. Dan set out for Greenfields to
get his family jewels. During his walk
to the country' seat, he met the young
woman in gray, whom he had seen leav
ing iila bachelors’ club. Her auto had
broken down. He fixed it. By a ruse she
“hi:”" him. Maitland, on reaching home,
surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe
containing his gems. She, apparently,
look him for a well-known crook. Daniel
Anisty. Half-hypnotized, Maitland opened
hi.*t safe, took therefrom the jewels, and
gave* them to her, first forming a part
nership in crime. The real Dan An sty.
sought by police of the world, appeared
on the same mission. Maitland overcame
him. He met the girl outside the house
and they sped on to New York In her au
to. He had the jewels and she promised
m meet him that day. Maitland r. eived
a "Mr. Snafth.” introducing himself as a
detective. To shield the girl In gray,
Maitland, about to show him the jew
els, supposedly lost, was felled by a blow
from “Snaith's” cam*. Tim latt* r proved
to be Anisty himself and 1 c secured the
gems. Anisty, who was Maitland’s dou
ble. tmikqin raded as the latter. The
c riminal kept Maitland’s engagement with
the girl in gray, lie gave her the guns,
after falling in love at first sight, ’’hey
wore to mee t and divide the loot. Mait
land revived and regretted missing his
« ng.igement. Anisty, masquerading as
Maitland. narrowly avoided capture
through mysterious tip. The girl in gray
visited Maitland’s apartments during; his
absence and returned gems, being dis
covered on return. Maitland, without
cash, called up his home and hca \1 a
woman’s voice expostulating. Anisty.
disguised as Maitland, told her his real
identity and realizing himself tricked
tried to wring from her the location of
the gems. Then lie proposed marriage. A
crash was beard at the front door. Mait
land started for home. He found Anisty
and the girl in his rooms. Again he over
whelmed the crook, allowing him to es
cape to shield the young woman. Dan
himself narrowly avoids arrest. Janltoi
O’ifngan wined and dined the office's of
the law. Hickey, a delc< live, dupe 1 by
Anisty. refused to partake and mused on
his HI-fate. The girl i|* gray made he:
• c ape, jumping into a c ab. An instant
late r, by working a ruse, Anisty was at
her side.
CHAPTER XIII.—Continued.
Bitter as poverty the cruel lash cut
round I he horse's flanks: and a: the
hansom shot out at breakneck speed
toward Fifth avenue, the girl cowered
back in her corner, shivering, staring
wirle-evtd at the man who had sc
coolly placed Jiimself at her side.
This, then, was that nameless dan
ger that had stalked her on the stair
case, this the personality whose ani
mosity toward her had grown sc
virulent that, even when consciously
ignorant of its proximity, she had
been repelled and frightened by its
subtle emanations! And now’—and
now she was in his power!
Dazed wilh fear she started up. aei
ing blindly on the primitive instinct
to fly: and in another moment, doubt
less, would have thrown herself bold
ly from the cab to the sidewalk had
her companion not seized her by the
forearm and by simple force com
pelled her to resume her seat.
"Be still, you liltle fool!" he told
her sharply. “Do you think that I'm
going to let you go a third time? Not
till I'm through with you. . . . And
if you scream, by the powers, I'll
throttle you!”
CHAPTER XIV.
Retribution.
She sank back, speechless. Anisty
glanced her up and down without
visible emotion, then laughed un
pleasantly—the hard and unyielding
laugh of brute man brutishlv impas
sioned.
This silly ass, Maitland,” he ob
served, "isn't really as superfluous ad
be seems. I find him quite a conveni
ence, and i supjiose that ought to be
totted up to his credit, since it’s be
cause he's got the good taste to re
semble me. . . . Consider his
thoughtfulness in providing me this
cab! Whal'd I’ve done without it?
To tel] the truth 1 was quite at a loss
to frame it up, how to win your coy
consent to this giddy elopment, back
there in ibe hail. But dear kind Mis
ter Maitland, bless his innocent heart!
fixes it all up for me. . . . And
so." concluded the criminal with
ironic relish—"and so I've got ycu, my
ladv.”
He looked at her in sidelong fash
ion. speculative, calculating, relent
less. And she bowed her head, as
senting. “Yes-—"
"You're dead right, little woman.
Got you. Cm-inmm.”
She made no reply: she could have
made none aside from raising an out
cry, although now she was regaining
something of her shattered poise, and
with it the ability to accept the situa
tion quietly, for a little time (she
could not guess how long she could
endure the strain), pending an oppor
tunity to turn the tables on this, her
persecutor.
"What is it." she said presently,
with some effort—"what is it you
wish with me?"
"i have my purpose," with z. grim
smile.
"You will not tell me?”
"You've guessed it, my lady; I will
not—just yet. Wait a bit.”
She spurred her flagging spirit until
it flashed defiance. "Mr. Anistv!"
Yes?' he responded with a curling
lip. cold eyes to hers.
“I demand—"
"No you don’t!" he cut her short
with a snarl. “You're not in a position
to demand anything. Maybe it would
be as well for you to remember who
you're dealing with."
"And—?”—heart sinking again.
"And I've been made a fool of just
as long as I can stand for it. I’m a
crook—like yourself, my lady, but with
more backbone and some pride in be
ing at tlie head of'my profession. I'm
wanted in a dozen places; I'll spend
the rest of my days in the pen, if they
ever get me. Twice to-day I’ve been
within" an ace of being nabbed—kind
ness of you and your Maitland. Now
—I’m desperate and determined. Do
you connect?”
"What—?” she asked, breathlessly.
“You—You Mf.in You Would Shoot Me?” She Whispered.
“I can make you understand, 1
fancy. To-night, instead of dropping
to the backyard and shinning over the
| fences to safety, 1 took the fire-escape
I up to the top-fiat—something a copper
would never think of—and went
i through to ihe hall. Why? Why, to
i interrupt the tender tete-a-tete Mait
i land had planned. Why again? Iie
i cause, for one thing. I've never yet
j becti beaten at my own game; and
I’m too oid a dog to learn new tricks.
Moreover, no man yel has ever laid
hands on me in anger and not regret
ted ii." The criminal's voice fell a
note cr two, shaking with somber pas
| sion. "I'll have that pup’s hide yet!”
j ho swore.
The girl tried to nerve herself. “It
i —it doesn't seem to strike you,” she
t argued, controlling her hysteria by
j sheer strength of purpose, “that I
i have only to raise my voice to bring
all Broadway to my rescue.”
For by now the cab had sheered off
into that, thoroughfare, and was rock
ing rapidly south, between glittering
walls of light. A surface car swooped
down upon them, and past, making
nigh; hideous with gong and drum
ming trucks, and drowning Anisty's
response. For which reason he chose
to repeat it, with added emphasis.
"You try it on. my lady, and see
| what happens.”
I She had no answer ready, and he
I proceeded, after waiting a monent:
! “But you're net going to be such a
j fool. You have no pleasure in the
prospect of seeing the inside of the
Tombs, yourself; and, besides, you
ought to know me well enough to
know. . .
"Wliat?” she breathed, in spite of
herself.
Aniniy folded his arms, thrusting
the right hand beneath his coat.
“.'.Init laud got only one of my guns,”
he announced, ironically. "He'd 've
got the contents of the other, only he
chose to play the fool and into my
hands. Now I guess you understand”
—and turning his head he fixed her
with an inflexible glare, chill and
heartless as steel—“that one squeal
out of you will be the last. Oh, I’ve
go; no scruples: arrest to me means a
living death. I'll take a short course,
i by preference, and—I'll take you with
i me lor company."
j "You—you mean you would shoot
j me?" she whispered, incredulous.
! "Like a dog,” he returned with
unction.
"You. a man. would—would shoot a
woman?”
“You're not a woman, my lady;
j you’re a crook. Just as I’m not a
man; I'm a crook. We're equals, sex
less. soulless. You seem to have over
looked that. Amateurs often do. . . .
To-night I made you a fair proposition,
to play square with me and profit.
You chose to be haughty. Now you
see ihe other side of the picture.”
Bravado? Or deadly purpose? How
could she tell? Her heart misgave
her; she crushed herself away from
him as from some abnormally vicious,
loathly reptile.
He understood this: and regarded
lier with a confident leer, inscrutably
I strong and malevolent.
| “And there is one other reason why
| you wiH think twice before making a
i row,'' he clinched his case. “If you
! did that, and I weakly permitted the
i police to nah and walk us oil. the busi
i ness would get in the papers—your
name and all; and—what’d Maitland
think of you then, my lady? What’d
he think when he read that Dan
i Anisty had been pinched on Broad
way in company with the little woman
he’d been making eyes at—whom he
wa.-. going, in his linn manlike way.
to reach down n hand to and yank
up out of the gutter and redeem and—
and all that slush? Eh?”
And again his low evil laugh made
her shudder. “Now, you won't risk
that. You'll come with me and be
have, I guess, all right."
She was dumb, stupefied with mis
ery.
He turned upon her sharply.
•Well ?”
Her lips moved in soundless assent
—lips as pallid and bloodless as the
wan young face beneath the small
inconspicuous hat. ,
The man grunted impatiently; yet
was satisfied, knowing that he had
her now completely under control; a
condition not hard to bring about in a
woman who, like this, was worn out
with physical fatigue and overwrought
with nervous strain. The conditions
had been favorable, the result was
pre-eminently comfortable. She would
give him no more trouble.
The hansom swerved suddenly
across the car-tracks and pulled up at
the curb. Anisty rose with an ex
clamation of relief and climbed down
to the sidewalk, turning and extending
a hand to assist the girl.
"Come!" he said, imperatively.
“We’ve no time to waste.”
For an instant only she harbored a
fugitive thought of resistance; then
his eyes met hers and held them, and
her mind seemed to go blank under his
steadfast and domineering regard.
"Come!" he repeated sharply. Trem
bling. she placed a hand in his and
somehow found herself by his side
Regardless of appearances the man
retained her hand, merely shifting it
beneath bis arm, where a firm pres
sure of the elbow held it as in a vise.
"You needn't wait,” he said curtly
to the cabby; and swung about, the
girl by his side.
“No nonsense now," he warned her
tensely, again thrusting a hand in his
breast pocket significantly.
“1 understand.” she breathed faintly,
between closed teeth.
She had barely time 10 remark the
towering white facade of upper Broad
way's tallest sky-scraper ere she was
half led, half dragged into the entrance
of the building.
The marble slabs of the vestibule
echoed strangely to their footsteps—
those slabs that shake from dawn to
dark with the tread of countless feet.
They moved rapidly toward the cle
vator-shaft, passing on their way de
serted cigar and news-stands shroud
ed in dirty brown clothes. By the dark
and silent well, where the six eleva
tors (of which one only was alight
and ready for use) stood motionless
as if siumbaring in utter weariness
after the gigantic exertions of t'ne day,
they came to a halt: and a chair was
scraped noisily on the floor as a night
watchman rose, rubbing his eyes and
yawning, to face them.
Anisty opened -the interview
brusquely. “Is Mr. Bannerman In
now?” he demanded.
' The watchman opened bis eves
wider, losing some of his sleepy ex
pression; and observed the speaker
and his companion—the small, shrink
ing, frightened-looking little woman j
who bore so heavily on her escort's
arm, as if ready to drop with ex
haustion.
It appeared that he knew Maitland
by sight, or else thought that he did.
"Oh, ye're Mister Maitland, ain't
you?” he said. “Nope; if Misther Ban
nerroan's in his ofils, I dunno nothin’
about it.”
“He was to meet me here at two,”
Anisty affirmed. “It’s a very import
ant case. I’m sure he must be along,
immediately, if he's not upstairs.
You’re sure—?”
“Nali, 1 ain't sure. He may ’ve
been there all night, fr all I know.
But I'll take you up 'f you want,” with
a doubtful glance at the girl.
“This lady is one of Mr. Banner
man's clients, and in great trouble.”
The self-stvied Maitland laid his hand
in a protecting gesture over the
fingers on his arm; and pressed them
cruelly. “I think we will go up, thank
you. If Bannerman’s not in, I can
'phone him. I’ve a pass-key.”
The watchman appeared satisfied;
Maitland’s social standing was guar
anty enough.
“All right, sir. Step in.”
The girl made one final effort to
hang hack. Anisty's brows blackened.
“By God!” he to’d her in a whisper.
“If you dare . . .!”
And somehow she found herself at
! his side in the steel cage, the gate's
| clang ringing loud in her ears. The
motion of the car, shooting upwards
with rapidly increasing speed, made
her slightly giddy. Despite Anisty's
supporting arm she reeled back
against the wall of the cage, closing
her eyes. The man observed this with
covert satisfaction.
As the speed decreased she began
to feel slightly stronger; and again
opened her eyes. The floor numbers,
black upon a white ground, were
steadily slipping down; the first she
recognized being 19. The pace was
sensibly decreased. Then with a
slight jar the elevator stopped at 22.
“Yous know the way?”
“Perfectly,” replied Anisty. “Two
flights up—in the tower.”
“Right. When yous wants me,
ring.”
The ear dropped like a plummet, I
leaving them in darkness—or rather j
in a thick gloom but slightly mod- !
erated by the moonlight streaming in
at windows at either end of the cor
ridor. Anisty gripped the girl more
roughly.
“Now, my lady! No shennanigan!”
A futiie, superfluous reminder. Tem- !
! porarily at least she .was become as j
wax in his hands. So complex had
been the day's emotions, so severe her
nervous tension, so heavy the tax
upon her stamina, that she had lapsed
into a state of subjective conscious
ness, in which she responded without
purpose, almost dreamily to the sug
gestions of the stronger will.
Wearily she stumbled up the two
brief flights of stairs leading to the
tower-like cupola of the sky-scraper;
two floors superimposed upon the roof
with scant excuse save that of giving
the building the distinction of being
the loftiest in that section of the city
—certainly not to lend any finishing
touch of architectural beauty to the
edifice.
On the top landing a door confront
ed them, its glass pane! shining dimly
in the darkness. Anisty paused, un
ceremoniously thrusting the girl to
one side and away from the head of
the staircase; and here fumbled in a
pocket, presently producing a jingling
bunch of keys. For a moment or two
she heaid Iiim working at the lock
and muttering in an undertone—prob
ably swearing—and then, with a click,
the door swung open.
The man thrust a hand inside,
i touched an electric swileh. flooding
the room with light, and motioned the
girl to enter. She obeyed passively,
thoroughly subjugated, and found her
self in a large and well-furnished of
fice, apparently the ouier of two
rooms. The glare of electric light at
first partly blinded her: and she
halted instinctively a few steps from
the door, waiting for her eyes to be
come accustomed to the change.

in our English equivalent, “the revival j
of learning.” lly the term is now j

limits to the period, we cannot figure |
on any date so positively as to say

THE PROLIFIC QUEEN BEE
i ne queen nee is a great antagon
ist of race suicide. She strites to
perpetuate the race with an ardor and
an understanding that is worihy of the
highest commendation. Some have
been known to lay 4,000 eggs a day for
a year, the number lessening after
that to 1,200 and going forward at
that ratio for another two years.
With 00,000 bees to the colony that
single praiseworthy queen laid enough
eggs to establish 40 colonies. Bee
keepers litres cm a net income of
three dollars a colony each year. If
the owners of the bee under discus
sion profited from her labors to that
extent the gain was $14S. It is not
tj be presumed that any such results
' ~ i
were obtained. To argue so much in
favor of one bee would bo to place j
belief in the statement that a man ,

Consumptives Need Not Leave Home.
Consumption can be cured, or ar
rested, in any section of the United
States, and the percentage of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician, therefore, who
sends a person to the southwest with
out sufficient funds, or in an advanced
or dying stage of the disease, is guilty
of cruelty to his patient. Renewed
efforts are being made to stop this
practice, and to encourage the build
ing of small local hospitals in every
city anu town in the country. At
tempts are also being made in South
ern California and in Texas to ex-,
elude indigent consumptives or to
send them back to the east.
Care In Preparing Food.
In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is mens
ured largely by its purity; the re

laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi

food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats:
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
nnd brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black

Than His Stomach
A strong mnn is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomacli and its associated organs, which im

is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a msn “doesn't feel just right,”
when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable
