“And Obadiah Price!" cried Na
thaniel. sudden excitement dashing in
Lis eyes. “Does he know?"
“1 believe that be does!" replied
Neil, pacing back and forth in his agi
tation. "Captain Plum, if there is a
man on this island who loves Marion
with ail of a father's devotion it is
Obadiah Price and yet he swears that
he knows nothing of the terrible in
fluence which has so suddenly en
t.aved her to the prophet! He sug
gests that It may be mesmerism, but

harsh, mirthless laugh. “Mesmerism
be damned! Its not that!”
“Your sister—is—a Mormon," ven
tured Nathaniel, remembering what
the prophet had said to him that
morning. Couid it be her faith?—a
message revealed through Strang
from—"
Nell stopped him almost fiercely.
Marion Is not a Mormon!" he said.
"She hates Mormonlsm as she hates

pocket of the coat he had loaned Neil
and drew forth bis pipe and tobacco
pouch As he loaded the pipe he
looked squarely into the other s eyes
and smiled
“Neil." he said softly. "Do you know
that you world have made alt awful
fool of yourself if I hadn't hove in
sight just when 1 did?"
He lighted his pipe with exaspera
ting coolness, still smiling over its
bowl.
"You are not going to kill Strang
tomorrow." he added, throwing away
the match and placing both hands on
Neil's shoulders. His eves were
laughing with the joy that shone in
them. ‘Neil. 1 am ashamed of you!
You have worried a devilish lot over
a very simple matter. See here—”
He blew a cloud of smoke over the
other s head. “I re learned to demand
some sort of pay for my services since
I landed on this island. Will you
promise to be—a sort of brother—to
me—if I steal Marion and sail away
with her tonight?"
CHAPTER VI.
Marion.
At Nathaniel's astonishing words
Kell stood as though struck suddenly
dumb.
"Don't you see what a very simple
rase It is?” he continued, enjoying the
other's surprised silence "You plan
to kill Strang to keep Marion from
marrying hitn. Well. I will hunt up
Marion, put her in a bag if necessary
and carry her to my ship. Isn't that
better and safer and just as sure as
murder?”
The excitement had gone out of
Neil's face. The flush slowly faded
from his cheeks and la his eyes there
gleamed something besides tbs ma
levolence of a few moments before. As
Nathaniel stepped back from him half
laughing and puffing clouds of smoke
from his pipe Marlon's brother thrust
his handa Into his pockets with an ex
clamation that forcefully expressed
his appreciation of Captain Plum's
scheme.
"1 never thought of that.” he added,
after a moment. "By heaven, it will
be easy—”
“So easy that 1 tell you again 1 am
ashamed of you for not having thought
of It!” cried Nathaniel. ”The first
thing is to get safely aboard my ship."
"We can do that within an hour."
“And tonight—where will we find
Marion?”
“At home.” said Neil. “We live
near Obadiah. You must have seen
the house as you came into the clear
ing this morning from the forest.”
Nathaniel smiled as he thought of
his suspicions of the old councilor.
"It couldn’t be better situated for
our work,” he said. "Does the forest
run down to the lake on Obadiah's
side of the Island?"
"Clear to the beach.”
Neil's face betrayed a sudden flash
of doubt
“I believe that our place has been
watched for some time." he explained.
"I am sure that it t3 especially
guarded at night and that no person
leaves or enters It without the knowl
edge of Strang. I am certain that
Marion Is aware of this surveillance
although she professes to be wholly
ignorant of it It may cause us trou
ble."
"Can you reach the house without
being observed?”
“After midnight—yes."
“Then there is no cause for alarm,”
declared Nathaniel. “If necessary 1
can bring 10 men Into the edge of
the woods. Two can approach the
bouse as quietly as one and I will go
with you. Once there you can tell
Marion that your life depends on her
accompanying you to Obadiah's. 1
lieve she will go. If she won't—" He
stretched out his arms as if in antici
pation of the burden they might hold.
"If she wont—I'll help you carry her!”
‘And meanwhile," said Neil. "Arbor
Croche's men—“
■'Will be as dead as herring fioaters
if they show up!" he cried, leaping
two feet off the ground in his enthu
siam. "I've got 12 of the damnedest
fighters aboard my ship that ever
lived and 10 of them will be in the
edge of the woods!”
Neil's eyes were shining with some
thing that made Nathaniel turn his
own to the loading of his pipe.
"Captain Plum, I hope I will be able
to repay you for this,” he said. There
was a trembling break In his voice
and lor a moment Nathaniel did not
look up. His own heart was near
bursting with the new life that
throbbed within it. When be raised
his eyes to his companion s face again
there was a light in them that spoke
almost as plainly as words.
"You haven't accepted my prtre. yet, ■
Nell,” he replied quietly. "I asked you
if you'd—be—a son of brother—”
Neil sprang to his side with a fervor
that knocked the pipe out of his hand. !
“1 swear that! And if Marion j
doesn't—“
Suddenly he jerked himself into a
listening attitude.
*'Hark!”
For a moment the two ceased to j
breathe. The sound had come to them J
both, low. distant. After it there fell j
a brief hush. Then again, as they ■
stared questioningly into each other's
eyes. It rolled faintly into the swamp ■
—the deep, far baying of a hound.
“Ah!” exclaimed Neil, drawing back
with a deep breath. *'I thought they
would do it!”
'The bloodhounds!"

DOE TO FREIGHT RATES
IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING.
Millionaire Says That People Are Bled
to Pay Dividends on Nine Bil
lions of Watered Stock.
Akron. O.—Declaring that excessive
freight rates are responsible for the
high cost of living, Ohio G. Barber,
the millionaire match magnate, has
*ent a letter to every member of con
gress demanding reforms
In addition to the regulation of
freight rates, he demands that laws
be passed that will effectually limit
railroad and industrial capitalization.
He declares the freight business of
the railroads cost each family $S7 a
year. This latter, coupled with the
other earnings of the railroads, he as
serts. has boosted the average rail- |
road cost per family to $127 annu- j
ally.
Barber starts his letter to the con
gressmen with these three demands:
“What is the matter with America?
“What is the matter with congress?
“Why has the seat of government
been transferred to Wall street?"
Continuing, he says: “Personally.
1 appreciate fully the inijxirtance of
stability of vested rights in property,
corporate or personal.
“But 1 vigt rously contend that the
commission of excesses in the capital
ization of corporate companies for
feits instantly the right to claim face
value for such capitalization in the
levying of & tax upon the American
public for the payment of dividends
upon this watered stock. And in this
offense trie railroads always have set
the pace.
“Conceived in the master minds of
Huntington. Morgan. Hill and Harri
man, this (>olicy has been worked out
to a nicety. These clothed the scheme j
in the pretty catch phrase of a "com- !
munity of interests' and cleverly set
about to grab all the through trunk
lines of railroad from coast to coast, i
"They argued plausibly, and with ;
truth, that these trunk lines were the
great arteries which maintained the 1
life of commerce; that they were a
necessity for quick transportation.
“Approximately nine billions of this
18 billions of railroad capitalization
is fictitious; purely and simply wat
ered stock, upon which the people of
the United States are taxed in rail
road rates to maintain the annual div
idends.
“Despite this tremendous stock wa
tering. the railways net earnings have
advanced steadily and the average
dividend rate has more than doubled
in the last 13 years.
“In 1894 the dividend rate was 1.66
per cent. I-tat year it averaged 3.6S
per cent, and the railroads earned a
net income of IS52.153.2S0.
“And the people paid the freight:
"Railroad presidents indignantly de
ny that freight rates afifec* the cost
of existence. Jaaies J. Hill and W. C.
Browne declare low acreage produc
tion by the tanner is responsible for
high prices.
"Trust magnates disagree. All seek
to shift the responsibility. S. R. Gug
genheim says it is extravagance on
the part of the laborer. Ogden Ar
mour says it is the law of nature.
"This one problem of railroad
freight rates is the great economic
question of the age. Were it fairly |
solved all other lines of commerce i
and trade would soon adjust them
selves an1 a more equitable distribu
tion of the products of business would
result.
What are you going to do about it?
“Yours in militant sincerity.

THE CASE OF LORIMER.
Senate Wonders How Many Votes Vo
Remove.
Washington.—Whether it would re
quire a two-thirds vote or only a ma- ,
jority of the same to unsea: Mr. Igjri- ;
mer as a senator from Illinois is an
interesting question which has arisen
in the contest about to ne waged.
The answer depends upon whether j
the opposition to Mr. Lorimer seeks
to connect him with any corrupt prac
tices or merely attempts to show that
he was the beneficiary for which he
was not responsible.
Officers are a Failure.
Chicago.—Nearly two hundred vol- ]
uuiary probation officers of tie juve- !
niie court were dismissed, following i
an investigation of the system by j
Judge Merritt W. Pinckney and his !
chief probation officers. One of the I
volunteeers was found in the county ;
jail charged with uxorcide. Another,
a negro preacher, was under arrest on
charges by children, and others were
found incapable. In announcing the
dismissal rule the court specified that
it did not convey criticism in most
cases.
The Apportionment Bill.
Washington — The apportionment
bill introduced by Chairman Orum
packer fixes the membership of the
house at 433. The bill was referred
immediately to the census committee,
where the entire subject will be taken
up.
Burned to Death.
Huron. S. D.—David Mitchell, aged
53. was found burned to death in his
cottage a mile south of the city.
Mitchell was a widower and lived
alone.
To Protect Titles.
Washington. — Secretary Ballinger
and Senator Borah of Idaho are both
interested in the question of timber
on the area burned by the gTeat for
est fires last year. Mr. Ballinger has
prepared a bill that, if passed, would
permit the government to disptose to
the best advantage of the timber on
the devastated public domain and on
the land of homesteaders who have
not perfected title. Senator Borah
discussed the matter with the presi
dent and hopes that legislation wiU
be passed.
LIVES FOR SAKE OF HER ART
Po*t Joaquin Millar's Daughter Woos
the Muss In a Cheap New
York Lodging.
New Tork.—Everyone has heard of
Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras,
who lives with his birds and his
books in a little cabin on the mountain
side above Oakland. Cal. Once in a
while the aged and bewhiskered her
mit-poet comes into civilization and
entertains people with his undisguised
contempt for society, but in the main
he prefers to commune with nature
Miaa Juanita Miller.
and the muse which he courts. He is
a scholarly man with poetic thought*.
His beautiful daughter. Miss Juani
ta Miller, is something of a hermit
herself, for her home is a tiny room in
Carnegie hall, this city—a room which
used to be a box office. Young, pretty
and very talented, she could take a
prominent part in society if she would.
But she will have nothing to do with
the pleasures and frivolities of the
world.
“I am trying to find myself and dis
cover what I am here for." she says.
“I am severely criticised by my
friends for trying to live my own lire,
but to me freedom is above all else to
be desired. My greatest horror is the
possibility of being a sheep and fol
lowing a leader. Society women do
not order their own lives. I am well
and happy and just now am living a
life which tends most to happiness. I
have solved the problem of high prices.
I pay $4 a week for my room here and
as there are no bathing facilities 1 go
to a Turkish bath once a week. My
clothes I buy on Fourteenth street
and pay almost nothing for them. My
food costs me only $2 a week; so I
may say my total living expenses
amount to but little more than $7 a
week. I make my own coffee in the
morning. At noon I go over to Sixth
avenue, where 1 get an egg sandw-ich
for five cents and a good stew for ten
cents. In the evening I make my cof
fee again and have some fruit.
“Once 1 was drifting and was bored.
Now I am happy. I have done some
water colors which my friends say
are good. I can sing and I can play.
Now I want to know which thing I
ran do best and th~n follow that line.
Why should 1 consult my friends
about my own destiny? I couldn't
stand my old life in society any long
er and I broke away. I decided to
earn my own living and be absolutely
independent. I pay my way by giv
ing piano and mandolin lessons and
have lots of time for myself. My fa
ther is heartily in sympathy with me.’’
Miss Miller's mother is very fond of
life and society, but cannot induce the
girl to give up what seem to her to be
very peculiar notions. Evidently
Juanita is a feminine copy of Joaquin.
GRAVE IN A CHICAGO PARK
Massive Couch Mausoieu-n Stands as
Last Vestige of the City’s
First Cemetery.
Chicago.—Familiar as are most peo
ple. whether visitors or residents, with
Lincoln park, this city, and its prin
cipal features, there yet remains one
object therein which causes wonder
and question by many who go there,
and which still stands an unexplained
mystery to thousands. During the
early days of Chicago’s history the
present site of the park was occupied
by a cemetery. About ISC.j Interments
The Couch Vault.
ceased and the lot owners were given
lots in other cemeteries. So the park
became a pleasure instead of a burial
ground. Among the pioneer settlers
who ultimately found a resting place
in this old cemetery was one Ira
Couch by name, who built a mau
solemn for himself and his family.
When, however, the cemetery became a
park the commissioners found that the
Couch family objected to the removal
of the tomb. Those circumstances
finally settled the question of removal.
So with its heavy blocks of stone and
massive iron door it has stood for
over half a century the last vestige of
Chicago's first cemetery.
Tightly-Laced Shoe Bursts Artery,
SL Louis.—A tightly-laced shoe,
which impeded circulation, caused an
artery to burst in the leg of Miss
Maggie Hunt of this city while she
was sitting in her home. She almost
hied to death before medical °*vist
ance was obtained.
FLAX IS PROFITABLE
Wonderfu. Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian Prairies.
So much is heard of the wheat, oats
and barley grown In the prairie lands
of western Canada, and so much has
been told of the wealth to be mada
out of the raising of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains, that a
most important product has been al
most lost sight of. Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on one of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
(at the head of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241,000 bushels of
flax valued at $5&3.220, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2SS.000 bushels valued at $720,000.
There has been a big demand for Ca
nadian flax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he is looking for. There is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free homesteads of 160 acres, ar.d
many of these are available within
short distance of the lines of railway
that are already built or under con
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur
chase from railway and land com
panies at reasonable prices.
The display of western Canada's
grains in the straw as well as j
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at St. Louis was an excellent j
demonstration of what the country can I
do. It proved splendid as an Illustration
of the resources of that vast prairie j
country, which during the past year j
has again proven its ability to pro- I
duce excellent yields of wheat, oats
and barley—and flax. Not only this, |
but the splendid herds of cattle are
a source of large revenue. There is
a fund of information to be had by
reading the Canadian government lit
erature. copies of which may be had
free by applying to your nearest Ca
nadian government agent.

A Christmas Criticism.
Orville Wright, discussing flying in
New York, said to a reporter:
“The French claim to make the
best machines, but our foreign order
books tell a different story.
“Our foreign order books give the
game away like the little Dayton boy
at the Christmas treat. He got from
the tree at this treat a pair of trous
ers. and. waving them around his
head, he electrified the entire Sunday
school by shouting in a loud and joy
ous voice:
“ 'Oh. ma. these pants must be new.
Pa never had a suit like that."
Very Different Matter.
She—Yes. I like Ted; he is so ex
travagant.
He—That is hardly the best quality
