Qrlswold allies himself with Barbara Osborne , daughter of the governor of South Carolina lina , while Ardmore espouses the * cause of Jerry Dangerfleld. daughter of the gov ernor of North Carolina. These two ladle * are trying to fill the shoes of their fa thers , while the latter are missing. Both Utes are in a turmoil over one Apple- welght , an outlaw with great political In- ( taenoe. Unaware of each other's posi tion , both Qrlswold and Ardmore set out to make the other prosecute. Both have forces scouting the border. Qrlswold cap tures Appleweight , but Jerry finds him and takes him to Ardsley , her own pris- aer. Ardmore arrests a man on his - who says he is Qov. Osborne. Eopertywho anwhlle another man is arrested as Appleweight by the South Carolina STlltia. The North Carolina militia Is bailed Into action. When Col. Qllllngwa- t r , Jerry's fiance , finds that real war Is afoot , he flees. Appleweight Is taken s - fretly by Ardmore and lodged in a Jail In louth Carolina. Returning to Ardsley , Ardmore finds that Billings , the banker , .nd Foster , treasurer of North Carolina , have been arrested. CHAPTER XIX. In the Red Bungalow. "What do you think , " cried Mm. Atchlson , glowing before Jerry and Ardmore on their return ; "we have a new guest ! " "In the coal cellar T' inquired her brother. "No , in the blue room adjoining Miss Dangerfleld's ! And what do you think ! It is none other than the daughter of the governor of South Carolina. " "Oh , Nellie ! " gasped Ardmore. "Why , what's the matter ? " demand ed Mrs. Atchison. "I had gone in to Turner's to look at that memorial church we're building there , and I learned from the rector that Miss Os borne , with only a maid , was stopping at that wretched hole called the Ma jestic hotel. I had met Miss Osborne in Washington last winter , and you may forget , Tommy' that on our moth er's side I am a Daughter of the Seminole - inole War , a society of which Miss Osborne is the president general. I hope Miss Osborne's presence here will not be offensive to you , Miss Dangerfleld. She seemed reluctant to come , but I simply would not take no , and I am to send for her at four o'clock. " "Miss Osborne's presence is not only agreeable to me , Mrs. Atchison , " responded Jerry , "but I shall join you In welcoming her. I have heard that the ancestor through whom Barbara ; Osborne derives membership in the ( Daughters of the Semlnole War was .afterward convicted of robbing an orphan of whose estate he was the trusted executor , and such being the case I feel that tha commonest Chris tian charity demands that I should treat her with the most kindly consid eration. I shall gather some roses , with your permission , and have them waiting In her room when she ar rives , with my card and compliments. " Ardmore had rarely been so busy &s during the afternoon. Several more newspaper correspondents were found prowling about the estate , and they were added to the howling mob in the 'Ardsley cellars. "It.has , all happened very handily for us , " said Collins ; "we've got the highest-priced newspaper talent in the world right under our hands , and be fore we turn them loose we'll dictate exactly what history Is to know of these dark proceedings. " "When we've settled with Grlewold and proved to him that he's lost out and that the real Mr. Appleweight is in his jail , not ours , we'll have to find Oov. Dangerfleld and be mighty quick about it , " replied Ardmore. "Paul says there's a battery of South Carolina artillery guarding the Dil- well county jail , and that they're fooled the people into thinking they're 1 North Carolina troops , and nobody can get within four blocks of the jail. 1 They must have somebody in jail at Kildare. I don't like the looks of ft. " Jerry a pleasing figure to contem plate in white lawn and blue ribbons suggested that the meeting take place in the library , as more like an imperial council chamber ; but Ard more warmly dissented from this. A peace should never be signed , he maintained. In so large a house as Ardsley. At Appomattoz and in many other c&stjsthat he recalled , the opponents met in humble farmhouses. They finally agreed on the red bunga low as convenient and sufficiently modest for the purpose. And so it was arranged. A few minutes before five the flag ef North Carolina was hung from the rlde veranda of the bungalow. At the < < : - door stood an armed militiaman. Col. 4 , - Daubenspeck had been invited to be \ present , and he appeared accompanied .tor MT ral other officers in full nnij j , ' t' . - .

"Miss Dangerfleld , and gentlemen , ' began Oriswold , with an .air of ad dressing a supreme tribunal , "I be- Here this whole matter depends upon the arrest of one Appleweight , a well- known outlaw of North Carolina ' ' - "I beg your pardon ' ' It was Jerry who interrupted him , her little fists clenching , a glint of fire in her eyes. "It is for me to ask your pardon. Miss Dangerfield ! Let us agree that this person is an unworthy citisen of any state , and proceed. It has been your endeavor to see this man under arrest in South Carolina , thus reliev ing North Carolina or her chief exec utive of responsibility for him. We , on our side , have used every effort to lodge Appleweight in jail on your side of the state line. Am I correct ? " Jerry nodded affirmatively. "Then , Miss Dangerfield , and gen tlemen , I must tell you that you have lost your contention , for Appleweight spent last night in Jail at Klldare , and to secure his , safe retention there , we generously lent your state a few of our militia to guard him. The pro ceeding was a trifle irregular , we ad mit the least bit ultra vires but the peculiar situation seemed to justify us. " "There are not two Bill Apple- weights , " remarked Col. Daubenspeok. "I assure you that the real criminal spent last night in jail at Turner Court House , guarded by trustworthy men , and we are able to produce him. " "The quickest way to settle this point , Prof. Qrlswold , is by bringing In your man. " remarked Ardmore Icily. "On the other hand" and Oris- wold's tone was confident "as there Is no reason for doubt that we have the real Appleweight , and as we are on your territory and In a measure your guests , it is only fair that you produce the man you believe to be Appleweight , that we may have a look at him first" "Certainly , " said Jerry. "Our pris oner does not deny his identity. It gives us pleasure to produce him. " At a nod from Col. Daubenspeok the orderly at the door ran oft to where Cooke and the prisoner waited. In the interval there was a general exchange of introductions at the At the Door Stood an Armed Militia man. 6 bungalow. The adjutant general of * South Carolina was In a merry mood and began chaffing Ardmore upon the deadly character < of apples found to his orchard beyond the Raccoon. "I deeply regret , " said Ardmore , * rubbing his chin , "that the adjutant general of North Carolina is suffering ° from a severe attack of paralysis agitans and will be unable to meet with us. " 'T deplore the fact , " replied the ad- n jutant general of South Carolina , "for r one of our scouts picked up a darky Q In the highway a while ago who had on a uniform < dress-coat with the in itial * H. Q. ' sewed in the pocket" It you will return that garment to me , general , " said Ardmore , ' 1 will ee that it reaches Col.

"Prof. Griswold , " Ardmore went on , 'the gentleman in charge of the pris m oner is Roger Cooke , for many years JQ t n the secret service of the United m States. He now conducts a private igency and is in my employ. Mr. 3ooke , I will ask you whether you dentify this man as Appleweight ? " "There i > no doubt of ijt whatever. have known him for years' . I once Treated him for nMunfntof ; sanfl n erred a year in tke penitentiary lui the result of that urect Yon will too me , sir , " Cooke continued , ireMintT Griswold directly , "but this te undoubtedly the man you had your self omptnred at Mount Nebo church two mights ago , but who was taken from yon , as yon may not know , by MlM Oenldine Dangerfleld.P She was lost in the woods and cam * upon the captive much to her own surprise. ' * Grtewold lifted his brows in am ie- ment and turned toward Jerry. If that is the case , Miss Danger * field , I salute you ! I am sorry to con * fees , however , that I did not myself see the man who was captured by my friends at the church , owing , it appears , to Miss Dangerfleld's prompt and daring action , and the regrettable cowardice of my men. I want to say to you , gentlemen , in .all frankness , that I am greatly astonished at what you tell me. Our prisoner is about the same height as this man , has the same slight stoop in the shoulders , and the same short beard ; but there the resemblance ends. " Ardmore was trying not to show toe plainly his joy at Oriswold'8 discom fiture. None of the South Carolina officers had ever seen Appleweight , as they lived remote from the scene of his exploits. Habersham's men , wh'o had so signally failed in the descent upon Mount Nebo church , had taken to the woods on the appearance of the state soldiery along the border , and1 could not be found to identify the man seized at the house on the creek. Habersham had discreetly declined to support Griswold's venture at the last moment ; to do so would , he pleaded , ruin his chances of political prefer ment in the future ; or worse things might , Indeed , happen if he coun tenanced and supported the armed invasion - vasion of North Carolina by South Carolina militia. The sealous young militiamen who had captured the stranger in the house on the creek had pronounced the man Appleweight , and their statement had been accepted - ed and emphasised when the man was taken before Griswold , to whom he stubbornly refused to make any state ment whatever. "Now that you cannot deny that we have the real Appleweight , " began Jerry , "who is , you must remember , a prisoner of the state of South Carolina lina , and must be returned to the Mingo county jail at once. I think we may as well look at your prisoner , Prof. Griswold. He may be one of Mr. Applewelghfs associates in busi ness ; but as we are interested only in the chief culprit , the identity of the man you hold is of very little interest to us. " "If , " said Griswold , "he is not Ap pleweight , the original blown in the bottle " "Jug , if you please ! " interposed Ardmore very seriously. "Then we don't care about him and I shall make you a present of him. " "Or , " remarked Ardmore , "I might exchange him for a ruffian I captured myself down on the Raccoon. He seemed quite insane , declaring him self to be the governor of South Carolina lina and I locked him up in a corncrib - crib for safe keeping. " ( TO BE CONTINUED. ) THREE ACTORS IN SORROW Showing How Easily Makers of Mirth May Be Involved In Personal Tragedy. A pathetic story of the tragedies of1 the stage is revealed by David Beeh- er , who has just returned from Sioux City , la. , where he encountered De Wolf Hopper and Arthur Dunn. The trio were in the West hotel in Sioux City. It was their first meeting n years. After the exchange of cour tesies had been passed Mr. . Dunn asked Hopper , "How are your folks ? " and received the reply , "Very well , thank you. How are yours ? " "Im mense/ replied Dunn. Three days later Mr. Hopper re ceived a wire announcing the death of his mother and was forced to cancel engagements. That same day , two hours later , Mr. Dunn received a tele graphic announcement of his father's death , and on the same night was in- brmed that his brother-in-law - - , Ezra Kendall , bad passed away. The m n met on the outgoing train from Sioux City and condoled with each other j over the bereavement which had befallen - 7 fallen them. Chicago America * .

If the United States should be cut off suddenly from the rest of the world you would be in a heap of trou ble about the time you should go to buy your next winter's suit of clothes. Prices % would be way up , and the took to select from scanty. You would find the same difficulty in buy ing underwear and blankets and car pets. pets.This This country produces only , a little more than half the wool it uses. With out the product of foreign countries there wouldn't be anywhere near enough to go 'round. Even as it is , wool Is so valuable that none of it is wasted. The rag man goes about and gathers up old clothes , which are chopped up. The yarn Is saved and made Into inferior grades of cloth. The shoddy and the mixtures of wool and cotton testify to the scarc ity of the pure fabric. Woolen goods are among the neces saries of life , like shoes and bread and butter. Every family must use them. Certainly It Is for the general welfare that they be produced at as reasonable a price as possible. But there are some great western syndicates raising sheep , and there are some great eastern corporations manufacturing wooten cloth , and it Is to their interest that the prices be kept high. A few weeks before the ways and means committee met to frame the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill representatives of these two branches of the wool industry conferred in Chicago cage and decided that the tariff rates on wool and woolens were "satis factory" and must not be changed. "Satisfactory ? " It Is to laugh ! On the variety of wool which is so scarce in this country that it simply must be imported In quantities to supply the people , the duty is 11 cents a pound , which is nearly half as much as the wool is worth. The American people maintain an artificial price half as much again as the commodity Is worth , on an article which every family - ily must have , in order to swell the profits of the sheep-raising syndicates of the western plains. But don't the manufacturers complain - , plain of the-price of their raw mate rial ? Not they. They are in on the , grab themselves. Lest foreign manu facturers , buying their wool at a rea sonable price , sell the finished prod- ust In the United States at a figure . that might bring woolen suits and woolen underwear and woolen blan kets wlthifi the reach of every family , $ the importation of woolen goods Is heavily penalized. The American manufacturers are first given a duty which is calculated to compensate them for the extra price they must pay for their wool. Then on top of that they are given another duty just to make sure that they have the field virtually to them selves , so that they can get their own prices for their fabrics. On one variety of dress goods , for instance , of which a large quantity Is Imported , they are allowed first the compensatory duty of 44 cents a pound to compensate them for the 11 cents a pound which they must pay extra on their raw wool , counting four pounds of raw wool to one pound of the finished fabric. In addition they are allowed 55 per cent ad valorem. The total protection to the manufacturer is more than 100 per cent on the value of the product. That is , so long as he keeps his price at about twice what the fabric could p be bought for abroad , he need fear n no foreign competition. ii And the American people stand for iiei this sort of a hold-up game , worked f ( by combination of westeAi a syndi g cates and eastern corporations ! gei Is it any wonder that President ei Taft called this whole schedule "inde eiw fensible ? " Or that the woolen trust P is in a panic lest a congress domi C nated by progressives , meeting In extra ti tiai tra session , lop off these monstrous ai duties ? it itw "Uncle Joe" Cannon says that he tl ; has had his fling.

The same situation is likely to arise the consideration of the Canadian reciprocity treaty.

The first session of a Democratic housie of representatives for sixteen years Is on. This exclusion of the Democratic party from the control of the representative branch is the long est continuous one on record. That which extended through the Civil war and reconstruction periods'was strict ly two terms less , the first congress of the Lincoln administration having been turned from Democratic to Re publican by the secession of southern members , and the conversion of many northern Democrats to the support of the administration. The long period of experience on the outside for the Democrats was due to Democratic stupidity just as the recent * cent loss of the houseby the Repub licans was caused by Republican fatuity. It is one of the instructive facts of our politics for the past twen ty years that political overturns have been caused not by the virtues of the outsiders who won , but by the blunders or offenses of the insiders , who paid the penalty by losing. The Demo crats in 1895 and 1896 saddled them selves with the free silver craze and for eight terms thereafter have never regained power. The Republicans last year handicapped themselves with standpattism and are now on the ex terior. ' The lesson should not be lost on the present situation. The Democrats start out with roseate hopes and glow ing promises. But the real test will be . in performance. And as the whole issue j sue seems to center about the tariff , if both parties can eschew maneuvers for political advantage and agree upon a moderate tariff , which will stay re vised , the relief of the country from further uncertainty will be welcome. Pittsburg Dispatch. "I Started the Canal. " The Bombastes Furioso of tragic in- vention has his occasional counterpart off the mimic stage. Note the followl ing swaggering confession of Colonel : Roosevelt on his travels in California , broadly describing the method employed - ployed in the seizure of the canal zone : "I am interested In the Panama ca- nal because I started It. If I had followed - lowed traditional , conservative methods - ods I would have submitted a digni fied state paper of probably two nun- dred pages to congress , and the de bate on it would have been going on yet ; but I took the canal zone and let congress debate , and while the de- hate goes on the canal does also. " J The territory belonged to the neigh boring state of Colombia. "I took it , " says the colonel. "I started the ca nal , " says the colonel. By the time the canal shall have been finished and paid for the people of the United States will be out of pocket some $400,000,000. It will take p $12,000,000 more to fortify it ; and about $6,000,000 per year to maintain an army of occupation. A hill was introduced in the last congress and passed by the house , Tlti which- provided that : "All the mili tit tary , civil and judicial powers of the IfTlted States in the canal zone , in v cluding the power to make all laws , rules and regulations necessary for si the government of the canal zone , sie shall he vested in the president. " e This would practically establish a n monarchy , over which the president would rule as king. It Is quite In line with the Rooseveltian preach and practice. It is safe to say , however , B that no such grant of autocratic power re will be approved by the present con reI [ gress. It was a happy day for the country when the Rough Rider ceased- ei to be president and went on his trav eib els in Africa. tl : tlr Steel and the Tariff. r The Democrats will be sustained by io ioti public opinion in any effort they .may ti ; Qiake to remove the inequalities and sc scoi injustices which characterize our pres- oi oioi snt tariff law.

Traveling through the state of Iowa the other day , and Iowa is no excep tion to the story about to be related , the writer was shown a farm that was offered three years ago for $250 an acre. That appeared to be a high fig ure for land upon which , the owner depended upon the-crops of corn , hogs and cattle that could be raised upon it But itwasn't. . A few weeks since the farm changed hands at $325 an acre. Over in Illinois , down in In diana , up in Wisconsin , across the line In Minnesota , the same experi ence was met with. And then atten tion Is directed to Canada , which has * been the Mecca of so many hundred thousand Americans during the past few years. Not only in Eastern Can ada has the price of lands increased , but in Western. Canada , during the past few weeks , farm lands have In creased ( from three to five dollars an acre I , with the prospect of a similar II advance I during the next three months. The reason for this Is very apparent , and J in a few words it may be pointed out < that the lands are worth a great deal < more than the present prices. The Northwestern Agriculturist of 1 Minneapolis ] , a paper that was one of j the 1 first of the American farm papers to 1 discover the real merits of the 1I lands I of Manitoba , Saskatchewan and Alberta , says : "The reciprocity schedule - ule would encourage American farmers - ers to move to Canada , where the vir gin soil will produce greater crops of fI grain with less labor than can be pro duced in our own farms in the North west. The result will be to enhance land values in Canada. " This paper is afraid land values in Canada will be 1c enhanced at the expense of land values in the United States. In face of the fact that land values in the United States are increasing the reasoning 1E soning scarcely holds. 'The reason for the advance in value of Canadian lands is partly accounted from the fact , admitted by this paper , that Can ada's virgin soil will produce "greater crops of grain with less labor. " But J that is not the only reason. During the past twelve months 320,000 people ple have made Canada their home and these are mostly of the farming class. They want farms , and the demand as well as the wealth of the soil is regu lating the price. A study of the in crease . in the acreage of land put un der crop last year , which can be had from any Canadian government repre sentative * , will prove the point , that the demand is increasing at a greater ratio than even the most sanguine would have predicted. Baby Teethes on the Table. "We are called upon to repair all kinds of damages , " a furniture dealer the other day * said. "But the most puzzling defacement I ever saw was that which appeared on a beautiful mahogany table brought in for refin- Ishlng. All around Its margin were rows of scratches and small indenta tions which were hard to explain , as the ] table was otherwise uninjured. ' "What happened to it ? ' I asked when the owner came in. ' "Well , she replied , 'the baby in sisted on cutting his teeth around the edge of it. Of course , it was rather expensive : , hut we both think there is nothing too good for the baby. ' " Symptoms Were There. "Your husband might have a little solid ( food directly he begins to mend , " said the doctor. "But how am to tell ? " inquired the anxious wife. "The convalescent stages of influ- jnza , " replied the doctor , "are marked t . V. ay : a slight Irritability. " The next day he called and found he patient's wife radiant. "When I refused to order bis steak and on- ons , " she explained , "he came into he kitchen and smashed fourteen soup plates and a dinner service ; so , f course , I sent out for steak at mce. " Stray Stories. Too Fresh. "Will you promise to support my laughter in the style In which she is iccustomed if I consent to your mar- iage ? " demanded old Skinflint , when Debby made his formal proposal. "Well , I I'll promise to be tolerably lose with her , Mr. Skinflint , " said Debby , "but you know , I'm a soft- learted cuss , and I'm afraid she'll be ible to wheedle a few things out of ne that you were strong enough to re use her.
