VOL. 30. MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1902. NO. 47.
THE TIGERS
WENT DOWN
IN DEFEAT
Before the Sturdy Bradenville
Foot Ball Lads
AT GREENSBURG WEDNESDAY
IN A GAME THAT WAS RUNNING
OVER WITH EXCITEMENT.
The Stripe Wearers From Mount Pleas-ant
Didn't Strike Their Gait Until the
Second Half and Then it was Too Late.
They Were but one Measly Point Be-hind
but That was Enough to Lose
Local Sports LotB of the Long Green as
well as the County Championship.
The local Tiger and the Bradenville
foot hall teams met at Greensbnrg
Wednesday afternoon last to decide the
county amateur championship that was
won by the latter by one measly point,
enough, however, to win the honor and
as good as a thousand so far as losing a
lot of wealth for the Mount Pleasant
sports was concerned. There was a big
crowd present and the contest through
out was exciting, although impartial
judges hold that the Tigers should have
won had they played their game in the
first half.
The Bradenville lads worked the hall
over into Tiger territory early in the
first half and kept it there, finally secur
ing a touchdown by straight tactics
Goal was kicked and the half ended in
a score of 6-0 in their favor.
Gemas, the TigerB’ fullback, had to
retire in the second half on account of
injuries, but the loss did not seem to
worry the Mount Pleasant players as
they settled down to steady work and
turned the tables on their opponents
whom they clearly outplayed at every
point, going through the center and
aronnd the ends for a well earned touch-down.
Everybody expected the score to
be tied,, but Hood missed a hard goal
and only five points were made. Only
eight minutes remained and the time
was too Bhort for the Tigers to make a
second score, although they were headed
that way when the referee’s whistle
ended the game. The lineup was:
BRADENVILLE. TIGERS.

SON DEFENDS FATHER.
L Exciting Shooting Scrape at the
Mount Pleasant Coke Works,
iohn Sebula and John Oberdas, two

battle in his father’s favor. The fight
led when a bullet plowed a course
>und Oberdas’s ribs, lodging in the
iscles of the back where it still is.

GUARDSMAN BOYCOTTED
By His Fellow Union Brewery Employes
at Umontown.
The workers in the breweries of Un
iontown who compose the local brewers’
union have decided that their members
who belong to the National Guard shall
either quit the guard or quit the union.
The first one to feel the effect of this
policy is George W. Brown, a member
of Company C, who went with the Tenth
regiment to serve the state at Shamokin.
Brown, since his return from soldier-ing,
has lost his job at the brewery,
through the power of the union, because
he is a member of the National Guard,
and has been notified that when he getB
his discharge from the guard he may
get back his job. Capt. Beeson has re-fused
to give him a discharge, and.
therefore, he has appealed to Gov. Stone
for it, claiming his bread and butter de-pend
on his reinstatement.
Foul Play Suspected.
The body of Martin O’Connell, of
Irwin, was found early Monday morn-ing
at Stewart station by some men
who were on their way to work. There
are many bruises about the head, and
some think that he met with foul play
and was then thrown or fell in front of
a train. His body was badly mangled.
Others are of the opinion that he met
death by being struck by the train.
O’Connell was 32 years of age and was
employed on the Weshinghouse foundry
plant being erected at Trafford City.
Morewood Children Poisoned.
. two-year-old son of Marks Rad-rtoski,
a Morewood coke worker,

who lives with his son in-law, Rev. Dr.
Keister, in the U. B. parsonage on West
Walnut street, was robbed of his watch

the thief having gained an entrance
through a window. Thieves attempted
to break into P. S. Wolfersberger’s Col-lege
avenue residence the same night,
but were scared off before they could
accomplish their purpose. The larder
at Mrs. Sadie Ramsay's West Walnut
street home was cleaned out by thieves
the same night.

I take great pleasure in presenting
this splendid company to a Mount Pleas-ant
audience. They will appear Tues-day
evening, November 25. Reserved
seats are now on sale at Overholts.
W. H. TUSSING.
A decidedly new kink has been given
the suits which Jacob Byers brought
several months ago in the Allegheny
county courts to restrain his grand-nephew
and former attorney, W. S.
Byers, Esq., of Greensbnrg, and the
Pittsburg Title and Trust Company
from opening one of that company ssafe
deposit boxes in which he claims are at
least his missing $175,000 Mount Pleas-ant
Coke Company bonds if not also
some $-10,000 in cash or its equivalent in
securities. The turn was taken by the
old gentleman’s nephew and neighbor
near Tarr, William R. Byers, who on
Saturday last petitioned the court to
admit him as a defendant.
Attorneys Schoyer and Hunter on
that day presented a petition in common
pleas conrt No. 2, where the case is in
litigation, asking that Willian R. Byers
be allowed to intervene and answer as
a party defendant. It is claimed that
neither of the litigants owns the cash
and bonds in dispute.
William R. Byers says he is a nephew
of Jacob Byers and avers that there has
always been a great affection existing
between him and his uncle apd that
sometime ago his uncle made him a
present of the stocks, bonds and cash
now claimed by the nncle.
The court granted a rule upon the
plaintiff to show cause why the prayer
of William R. Byers should not be
granted. Byers attaches what will be
his answer to the prayer of Jacob ByerR
if the court makes the order to inter-vene.
The gist of the answer is, as al-ready
stated, that neither the uncle nor
attorney owns the securities claimed.
It is also averred that Rev. C. R. Fer-ner,
who claims to be acting for Jacob
Byers, is a stranger, not bound by any
relationship and that he has some ulter-ior
motive in bringing the present suit.
Stories that have leaked out regard-ing
the late Grand Jury in this county
and its failure to find a true bill charg-ing
Lawyer Byers with larceny show
pretty conclusively that a majority of
that body had been set up against
“Uncle Jake.” Under ordinary circum-stances
the aged prosecutor's evidence
alone would have been sufficient for the
finding of a true bill, but it availed
nothing, neither did that of his nephew
and would-be peacemaker, Michael
Fritchman, of Harrison City, whose ev-idence
was something like this:
Some time after the suits had been
brought this witness said he thought the
matter should he settled and. with that
object in view, sought William R. By-ers
who took kindly to the idea and ex-
! pressed the belief that if “Uncle Jakey”
put up $50,000 he could get the “stuff”
back all right. The man of peace then
sought his old uncle, laid the proposi-tion
before him and went on home, Mr.
Byers promising to think the matter
over.
Not long after this his uncle did send
for him and Mr. Fritchman started to
keep the engagement, but he never got
there. He stopped again with William
R. Byers whose price for returning
“Uncle Jake” his lost “stuff” had
Michael said, gone np to $80,000. Even
I at that figure, however, “Bill" said he
1 would have to first consult Attorney
Byers. This he did by going at once to
j Greensburg, the lawyer returning with
him. W. R. then said $80,000 would do
all right, but Mike went straight op
home, not having the nerve to submit
the revised proposition to his uncle. In
concluding his evidence before the
Grand Jury Mr. Fritchman said that on
the last day referred to he overheard
Attorney Byersexclaim: “I never knew
until today that the missing bonds and
cash were not Uncle Jake's property!”
On the jury was an Irishman who
! took little or no stock in the evidence
offered by the prosecution, the only side
j heard. While the body was deliber-ating
before taking the vote that ignored
the bill, he surprised his fellow jurors
by exclaiming: “I’ll just bate ye that
preacher chap (Rev. Ferner) has them
I missing bonds !”
THREE NEW GRAINS
That Have Been Raised This Season by
O. K. Fox.
C. K. Fox, the well known yonng East
Huntingdon township farmer, has been
experimenting with three new grains,
speltz, sunflower and sorguin hay, and
is well pleased not only with the size of
the crops but with their worth as stock
foods.
The speltz, or the Bible corn of Egypt,
waH sown in the spring and resembles
wheat in its growth, while its head is
like that of barley. It is as productive
as oats and is well adapted to spring
grass seeding. The hail damaged this
year s crop and there was a waste cut-ting
it with a binder, but Mr. Fox still
got 28 bushels from an acre of unfertil-ized
com stock ground.
The sunflower was raised in two and
one-half rows along the corn-field and
yielded ten bushels. It makes a good
chicken and bird feed and is used by
stockmen extensively like linseed oil. It
is easily harvested.
Of sugar cane or sorgum hay Mr. Fox
had four two-horse loads off about two-thirds
of an acre, but probably left one-fourth
on the ground owing to the high
cut of the binder. It is said to be next
to clover as a stock food, horses and cat-tle
eating it greedily.

as the representative of the German
Emperor, was bronght up to the Frick
campany's Standard mines Friday af-ternoon
last by President Loree, of the
B, & O. railroad, in his private car in
company with General Superintendent
Kennedy. The local superintendent,
James S. Mack, had no time to “pnrty’'
and, indeed, didn't know he was enter-taining
royalty until after he had taken
the pnrty through the new shaft and
over the yards and the visitors were
about to leave. The prince manufact-ures
coke at home by the by-produot
system and kept “Jim" busy answering
questions.
The Keystone Coal and Coke Com-pany,
of Greensburg, has optioned con-siderable
coal land in Salem, Bell and
Loyalhanna townships, this county, at

TIIB MOUNT PL.EAKANT JOURNAL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1902.
PRICE CUTS LITTLE EIGURE
WHEN COKE CAN BE HAD.
Tlmt small furnace people are hard pressed for coke from this region and are
willing to pay almost any price for the fuel is evidenced by the following well
authenticated story told on an independent operator:
He was on his way home from a short vacation when he fell in with an iron
manufacturer who was on the hunt of coke. The result was an agreement con-ditional
upon the coke man’s ability to supply 500 tons at once The latter's con
tracts expired the day he reached home and he at once shipped his new business
friend the amount required, attaching a draft for $5,000 to the bill of lading, the
price agreed upon having been $10 a ton f. o. b. Not only was the draft promptly
honored, but a second order was returned for 300 tons additional at $11 a ton.
The coke producer cleared some $7,000 on the two shipments.
A Massachusetts manufacturing firm took a unique but expensive plan to get
coke last week. Four empty box cars, locked and maiked lumber, were sent
through direct to the Frick company's Standard mines with the freight prepaid.
They were at once loaded with coke and started back. MHthout the bill for the
fuel, it is estimated the freight charges alone would cost the firm $800.

X.—Honey Makers and Their
T Kindred. HE order hymenoptern, or mem-brane
winged Insects, includes
the most Intelligent of all the
class insecta. Although there
are more than 20,000 species included
in this order, we shall speak of but
very few of the best known. The ant,
the most intelligent of all, has been
given a separate article. The honeybee
is probably the best known and the
most useful. Some moderately warm
day, about 10 a. in., place a few drops
of honey on a clean blue dish, as bees
are attracted most by that color, and
carry it near the hive. Some bee will
flml your honey in a short time and fill
her crop. She will then fly away to the i
hive, but will return for more honey j
as soon as she has deposited her first
■upply in the comb. She will make a
trip every fifteen or twenty minutes,
and you will have plenty of time to
study her and other bees which may
find the honey through her assistance.
There is little danger of being stung.
Bees seldom sting those who feed them. |
They soon lenrn to know you, and 1
when they find that you intend no '
harm you are safe from their stings.
The worker, or undeveloped female,
the only bee which leaves the hive in
search of food and other necessaries,
has four transparent wings, with no
wing covers, ns in beetles. The front
pair of wings is the larger, and all of
them move with great rapidity in flight
—190 times a second. The eyes arc
large and compound, being composed
of a great number of simple eyes, but
these composite eyes seem to be fitted
for long vision only.
When laden with material for the
hive, they fly with great rapidity in a
straight line toward home; hence the
saying “straight as a bee line.” At
the hive, however, they are obliged to
feel their way In. Two jointed anten-nae,
or feelers, project from the head.
These seem to guide them about the
hive, and some writers claim that they
communicate witli each other by
means of these appendages. The
body is made up of three distinct
parts, head, thorax and abdomen. Two
pairs of wings and three pairs of
legs are attached to the thorax, while

the abdomen has no appendages. In
the middle portion of the hind legs is
a nearly triangular cavity, .surrounded
by thickly set stiff hairs, forming a
Bort of basket, in which hive mate-rial
is carried. The ends of the feet
are supplied with little hooks. The
other four feet are furnished with
little hnlr-brushes used in collecting
pollen, etc., and the end of the ab-domen
is armed with a sting. The
males have no sting. The mouth has
a touguelike proboscis for lapping up
the nectar of flowers. The bee has
two stomachs, the first being a sort
of crop in which the honey undergoes
a chemical change not well under-stood.
Digestion takes place in tne
second stomach.
In a swarm there are three classes
of bees—males, females and workers.
The workers were formerly known as
neuters, hut they are now known to
be undeveloped females. There Is but
one perfect female In a swarm, and
she Is called tlie queen. The number
of workers vnries from a few hun-dreds
to 40,000. Tne number of mules
Is usually one to about thirty work-ers
during the fore part of the sum-mer.
Later every male is either driven
out of the hive or killed.
The queen lays all of the eggs and
is frequently the mother of nearly all
lot the swarm. She Is much larger
than the workers and somewhat longer
than the males or drones. The drones
do no work, but are eared for by the
workers. They have no use but to
perpetuate the species. The workers
clean out the hive, collect the food
and other material, feed and nurse the
young, bulb! the coinb, stock the hive
witli honey, ventilate the hive, guard
against intruders, fight all the bat-tles
and do everything that is done
about their well ordered borne.
Upon entering a new hive the bees
carefully examine its interior, and if
any cracks are found they secure ma-terial
for cementing them so that cold
winds and marauding insects may be
kept out. The workers go to tlie sticky
buds of the poplar and various plants,
gather the gum and fill every chink.
If you put In a glass window, they will
cover that, too, with this same wax}
substance, called propolis, for they do
not like the light. During the first
twenty-four hours ill this new home
the bees that had a plentiful supply of
honey in their crops are busy making
wax of which to form tlie comb. The
wax is formed within the body of the
bees. Then a number of them suspend
themselves from tlie top of the hive,
hanging by the liookB on tlielr bind
feet. Others attach themselves to these
and hang In the same way, and so oil
until a cluster of bees Is formed some-times
weighing three or four pounds.
Here they remain for about twenty-four
hours, when the wax begins to
ooze out from under the scales be-tween
the segments of the abdomen
One bee detaches herself from the
cluster, climbs to the top of the hive,
turns herself around several times to
crowd the bees out of the way and be-gins
to pick tlie wax off her abdomen
and form it into a little lump. An-other
bee soon takes her place, then
another and another until a large, thin
plate of wax hangs where the bees
were. Cells for brood and honey are
next begun on both sides of this plate.
A few bees are detailed to feed and
care for the queen. A few more ven-tilate
the hive by fixing themselves
with their heads toward and near the
entrance and moving their wings ns In
flight. In this manner they create a
current of pure air throughout the
hive. Still another detachment is en-gaged
in guarding the entrance against
marauders.
When the bees have finished a large
brood comb, the queen begins to lay
eggs at the rate of about 200 a day,
placing one egg In each cell. All these
eggs will produce workers. After con-tinuing
this process for about a month
or six weeks she begins to lay male
eggs in the larger cells, stopping once
in two or three days to place a female
egg In one of the royal cells. If from
any cuuse the queen should be re-moved
from the hive \yhen there are
no eggs or larval in the royal cells, the
bees at once enlarge a worker cell and
feed the larva on royal jelly instead of
the pollen, etc., given to the worker
larvai. The larva develops Into a queen,
and the life of the colony Is again in-sured.
Should there be no worker
eggs or very young larvae in tbe comb
the bees become distracted, quit work,
wander about aimlessly and soon die
or are destroyed by their enemies. If
things move on normally, the first egg
placed in a royal cell is hatched, passes
through the larval and pupal stages
and becomes fully developed and ready
for liberation in sixteen days. The old
queen then becomes restless and wan-ders
about In search of the young prin-cess.
The bees stand guard over her
and close up the cell so that she can-not
escape. They keep the old queen
away from the royal cells or her sting
would soon put an end to all life there.
un tne first nne day the old queen,
with a large number of the bees, leaves
the hive and seeks a new home. The
young queen is now allowed to come
forth from her cell, and if the swarm
Is too weak to semi off another swarm
she Is allowed to kill the remaining
princesses In their cells. After a few
days she leaves the hive and, with the
drones, takes a flight in the nir, return-ing
in about half ail hour to repeat the
life of her mother.
The common bumblebee is also social
In its habits, but the number In a sin-gle
colony Is very small, usually from
ten to thirty. Their mission seems to
be to carry pollen from male to female
flowers like their more aristocratic
cousins, tlie honeybees. Their nests
are built In the ground, and all drones
and workers die in the fall, only the
queen hibernating or living over to the
following season. There may be more
than one queen In a colony.
There are several species of solitary
bees. These bees are of but two
classes, males and females, tlie latter
doing all the work. The female con-structs
from one to a dozen cells, ac-cording
to the species, in earth, clay
or wood, and deposits in each an egg
and n supply of pollen nnd sometimes
a Utile honey for food for the grub.
There are two groups of wasps, the
solitary and the social. Of the so-cial
group the common hornet Is a
good example. The social wasps live
In colonies of from 100 to 500 mem-bers
and consist of males, females
nnd workers, as do the bees. The fe-males
and workers all have powerful
slings, which they use on the least
provocation. All, except a few young
queers, die on the approach of winter.
Each of these queens constructs a few
cells in the spring and lays an egg in
each. These soon hatch, nnd the
mother supplies them with food. They
are all workers, nnd when mature re-lieve
tlie queen mother of further
labor. Additional broods increase tlie
number rapidly. The males and per-fect
females are not hatched until late
ill tlie season. Koine species build
their nests in the ground, others ou
tlie branches of trees or the timbers of
buildings. The nests of the tree wasps
are very ingeniously built of pulp made
from wood resembling paper.

TWO EMPLOYES KILLED
IN POWDER WORKS EXPLOSION.
For the fourth time in na many years
the coining plant of the Cambria pow
der works at Nineveh blew np Monday
morning, cansing a loss of $1,000 and
the death of two employes, named Jose
Franz, of Derry, aged 30, and William
Norris, of Bolivar, aged 21. Both men
were single. The former was torn al-most
to pieces, portions of his body be-ing
fonnd several hundred yards from
the scene of the accident. Norris’s
burned and mutilated body was found
in the ruins.
It is not known what caused the ex-plosion,
as no persons were permitted in
the building except those actively em-ployed
about the place. The building
was completely ruined.
GOLDEN GATE TOURS.
As Judged From the Past Week's
Trade Reports
WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS
OF THE JOURNAL
Railway StockB are Lower Than Since
Last Spring:, but This Does not Indi-cate
Loss of Traffic; on the Contrary,
There are Numerous Evidences That
Manufacturing and Transporting In-terests
Cannot Meet the Demands.
Lower prices for railway stocks than
at any time since last March do not nec-essarily
indicate loss of traffic nor a set-back
in business. On the contrary, co-incident
with the collapse of the stock
market there were numerous evidences
that manufacturing and transporting in
terests have not sufficient facilities to
meet demands, although plants and
equipment are now of greater efficiency
than at any previous time.
Distribution of merchandise is fully
maintained, preparations being made for
a heavy holiday trade, and frequent
complaints of tardy deliveries testify to
the heavy consumption. Prospects for
continued activity are bright, because
of unprecedented harvests, prosperity in
the agricultural districts assuring a good
demand for other products. Threatened
labor controversies have been averted,
in some cases wages being advanced
while a number of increases were vol-untarily
given.
Railway earnings continue to ad-vance,
the first week of November show-ing
a raise of 4.8 per cent over 1901, and
15.2 per cent over 1900. High tempera-ture
retards retail trade in seasonable
goods.
Aside from the expected decline in
prices of pipes and tubes there has been
no evidence of weakness in iron and
steel, and all the recent concessions were
caused by competition of new plants
rather than diminished business. Many
purchasers are delaying orders, how-ever,
in the hope that the market will
go lower in other departments, but
there is abnormal support in the light
movement of coke. Rail mills are fully j
booked up until next September, and a
Canadian road placed a large order in :
Germany, while structural shapes are :
in great request, especially for bridges. .
Eastern manufacturers of foot wear '
are offering no inducements to buyers,
and, while no actual advances in prices !
have occurred, the market is decidedly \
strong. Western shops are also busy.
Sole leather is active and firm, both do-mestic
and export sales being large.
Some western tanners advanced prices
which checked business. Limited sup
plies in first hands and with jobbers
have sustained cotton goods, despite the
sharp decline in the raw material.
Clothing manufacturers report encour-aging
results in their first test of the
market on spring garments.
Failures for the week numbered 241
in the United States, against 215 last
year, and 24 in Canada, compared with
27 a year ago.

Under the Personally-Conducted System
of the Penneylvania Railroad.
California and the Pacific Coast re-sorts
have become so popular in recent
years with the better class of winter
rest and pleasure seekers that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has decided
to ran two Golden Gate tours this win-ter,
one to include the famous Mardi
Gras spectacle at New Orleans. On the
going trip both tours will travel by the
Golden Gate Special, one of the finest
trains that crosses the continent. One
tour will return by this train, while
passengers by the other and later tour
will use regular trains returning. In
California, passengers will be entirely
at their own pleasure in the matter of
itinerary. Should a sufficiently large
number of passengers desire to join in
taking an itinerary suggested by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the
services of a Tourist Agent and Chap-eron
will be at their disposal.
The first tour will leave New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
and other points on Thnrsday, January
29, and will travel via Chicago, Kansas
City and El Paso to Los Angeles and
San Diego, arriving at the latter point
February 2. An entire month may be de-voted
to visiting California resorts, the
Golden Gate Special leaving San Fran-cisco
on the return trip Tuesday, March
3, and returning via Salt Lake City,
Glenwood Springs, Colorado Springs,
and Denver. The rate for this tour
will le $300, covering all expenses of
railroad transportation, including side
trips in California, as well as berth and
meals on the Golden Gate Special going
and returning. No hotel expenses in
California are Included, Tickets are
good for return trip for nine months,
excepting that passengers who do not
return on the Special must provide
their own Pullman accommodations
and meals east bound.
Tour No. 2 will leave Thnrsday, Feb
ruary 19, by the Golden Gate Special
Cincinnati, Montgomery and Mobile
will be visited en route to New Orleans,
where the party will stay during the
Mardi Gras festivities. The train will
be sidetracked for occupancy during
the three days spent in New Orleans.
Stops will also be made at Beaumont,
Texas, Houston, Texas, San Antonio
and El Paso. The train will arrive at
San Diego, February 28. So far as
special train arrangements are concern-ed,
this tour will be completed at San
Diego. Passengers may dispose of their
time in California as they see fit. Should
a sufficient number desire to take a sug-gested
trip through California, the ser-vices
of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon
will be placed at their disposal.
The rate for this tonr will be $275,
covering all railroad transportation for
the entire trip, including side trips in
California, seat at the Mardi Gras Fes
tival, and Pullman berth and all meals
on the Golden Gate special from New
York until arrival at San Diego.
Private compartments, i. e., drawing
rooms or state rooms, may be obtained
by the payment of additional charges
on both tours. A detailed itinerary is
in course of preparation, giving all in-formation
concerning these tours. Ap-plication

Jacob Byers against his grandnephew
and former attorney, W. S. Byers, Esq ,
of Greensbttrg, Judge Doty permitted
the prosecution to withdraw the other
tyro bills, as noted last week in the news
columns of this paper. But, it remained
for James S. Moorhead, Esq., one of the
attorneys for the prosecution, to add a
sensational feature in his argument be-fore
the court.
Mr. Moorhead openly charged that his
client could not get full justice at the
handB of the Grand Jury. He declared
that Jury Commissioner John C. Stough
was the constant companion of the de-fendant.
He claimed that Stough had
been seen openly consorting with the
defendant and that as late as last open-ing
he was known to have consulted
with him in his offices.
The stories that have since come from
the Grand Jury room only corroborate
what Mr. Moorhead said, and it is a
great pity that there seems to be no
means of punishing those who thus
tampered with justice.
FREIGHT CONGESTION.
The present freight congestion is the
worst in the history of the Pittsburg
district which mav be said to include
the entire coke region and the coal dis
tiicts of this end of the state, and the
trouble is there is no relief in sight. The
yards and sidetracks of nearly all the
railroads are filled to overflowing with
all classes of freight and the motive
power to break the blockade is lacking.
The condition in the coke region can
be best understood when it is stated that
there is danger of the big Carnegie steel
mills at Homestead and Duquesne being
compelled to shut down, at least in part,
through scarcity of fuel. The Carnegie
interests, which get coke when there is
any moving at all, have been cut out
recently and their stocks of coke and pig
iron, piled at the points of operations,
have been nearly depleted.
President Cassatt, of the Pennsylva-nia
Railroad Company, was in Pittsburg
this week consulting with the local of
ficials in regard to the freight situation.
Plans were formulated looking to in-creased
facilities. While this will mean
much in time, it would be vain to ex-pect
early relief only through a general
suspension of producing industries,
which may yet have to be resorted to.
of 25 cents, the second time by a fine of
50 cents, the third time by expulsion.
These Sixteenth boys are doubtless
nice fellows and all that, but that blood-less
Porto Rican expedition during the
Spanish-American war doesn’t entitle
them to be classed with the "Fighting
Tenth” that covered itself with glory in
those far off isles of the sea. The Mt.
Carmel lads have little cause to feel ag
grieved and should be ashamed of them-selves
for thus showing pique. How-ever,
if their poor, abused brothers at
Shamokin had risen up in arms we
wouldn’t be one bit surprised; for, they
do say that the onslaught on feminine
hearts there by Calonel Barnett’s Phil-ippine
heroes was something fierce.
THERE can be too much of a good
fMng. See what prosperity has done to
the railroads.
THE independent coke operator in
this region is the fellow who is making
easy money these days.
YANKEES SLOW TO LEARN.
After giving prohibition a trial for 50
years, Vermont is on the eve of a Legis
lative struggle which may place a high
license local option law on the statute
books.
The Republicans, at their convention
in June, made a party pledge that at
this session of the Legislature they
would enact a high license local option
bill, with a referendum, the law to be-come
operative after the people had
sanctioned it by a vote at a special
.■election.
The Yankee has always been credited
-with having an unusually long head,
but it seems the Vermont variety has
been slow to learn that prohibition does
mot prohibit.
OF course, Prince Hans Heinrich
wanted to see the best there is in the
coke region. That’s why he visited
Mount Pleasant.
WHEN one considers what clever
money-makers they are, it’s no wonder
the local robber picks out United Breth-ren
people for his victims.
BHADENVILLE didn’t beat ns so badly
at foot ball, but that one point was very
expensive to local sports who backed the
Tigers with the coin of the realm.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT failed to
bring down a bear in the Mississippi
canebrake, but he had a week's rest from
politicians and office seekers and that
should do him more real good.
No one feels better than THE JOUR-NAL
that it hassucceeded at last in hav-ing

Lots of Wild Ducks.
Wild ducks were plentiful in this sec-tion
Wednesday morning last. A num-ber
were bagged on Rumbaugh’s pond,
near Spring Garden; while scores were
shot on the Bridgeport dams where the
slaughter would have been greater had
not the gunners’ supply of ammunition

tFASClNATING BRASS BUTTONS.
The boys at Mt. Carmel, Pa., have
just organized an Anti-Girl Club. The
constitution and by-laws adopted forbid
a member from showing the lr»st atten-tion
to any girl of that town who asso-ciated
with or even smiled upon Six-teenth
regiment, N. G. P., men while
that command was on duty there during
the late anthracite coal strike trouble.
The pledge signed by the jealous mem-bers
is this:
“We, the undersigned, do hereby
pledge ourselves not to associate with
sany girl that has associated with soldiers
during their encampment in this vicin
sty. We pledge ourselves to withstand
uuanfally their charms and coquetries,
and on no account will we escort them
to dances or entertainments, or call on
them. We agree to abstain altogether
from the company of ladies rather than
mingle with those who allowed them-selves
tc be escorted about by the
guardsmen. Any violation of this pledge
will be punished; the first time by a fine

E5JTtjN00th0e peicvkeendingmoenf Ooeft.Jefl)>, 1S8Ctu2-, TJnj art’s renowned cavalry corps
ijJ assembled on the camp pa-rade
at Charlestown, W. Va., for orders.
The troopers wore divided Into three
detachments and placed under the
leadership of Genera! Wade Hampton,
Colonel W. H. F. Lee and Colonel \V.
E. Jones. Then Stuart spoke to the
command ns follows: “Soldiers, you
are about to engage in an euterpiise
which to insure success demands at
your hands coolness, decision and brav-ery,
Implicit obedience to orders with-out
question or cavil and the strictest
order and sobriety ou the march and in
bivouac. The destination, and extent
of this expedition had better be kept to
myself than known to you. Suffice it
to say that with the hearty co-opera-tion
of officers and men I have not a
doubt of its success, a success which
will reflect credit of the highest degree
upon your arms.”
At the close of the speech the men
retired to their blankets to catch a few
hours’ rest, and the jolly snbreur, with
his boon companions, passed the even-ing
at The Bower, a typical planter’s
mansion, where Stuart made his head-quarters.
With fiddle, banjo and bones
the gay cavnllers serenaded their
friends, then went to their tents on the
lawn. Before daylight every officer
and man was in the saddle, galloping
toward the Potomac, where an ad-vance
party led by Colonel M. C. But-ler,
the present senator from South
Carolina, had preceded the cavalcade
to look out for the freedom of the ford-ing
place.
Butler had sent a handful of men
over the ford to capture a Federal
picket station on the Maryland side,
but the Yankees were too quick for
the Johnnies and got away. Butler
then dashed into the stream nt the
head of the vanguard and deployed a
line of troopers around the ford. Stu-art's
whole command crossed without
alarm and struck out along the nation-al
pike running from Hancock to Ha-gerstown.
When Butler’s vanguard
struck the pike, he captured ten strag-glers
from General Cox's Federal di-vision,
which had just pnssed that
point on the way to Hancock. Cox’s
division belonged to the Army of the
Potomac, which was at that time en-camped
in Maryland in the vicinity of
Hagerstown. ,
Fortunately for Stuart, there was a
heavy fog in the valley that morning,
or hiB stealthy movements would have
been seen from the signal station on
I'Yiirview heights, near Hancock. But
.iigs have the gift of vanishing in a
twinkling, and to make sure the argus
eyes on the height should not reveal
his secrets to the army close at hand
Stuart sent twenty picked men to cap-ture
the signal party. Crawling up the
RAIDING THE FEDERAL SIGNAL STATION.
steep under cover of the fog, the gray
troopers dropped down upon the sta-llon
like visitors from the skies. Two
Federal officers in the station made a
rush for life and escaped, but the pri-vate
soldiers were captured and all the
flags and equipments. Thus the last
danger was suppressed, for, barring
signals, Stuart’s troopers' could travel
as fast as anything In the Army of the
Potomac. All Stuart asked was a clear
road to get beyond the camps of that
widely scattered army. In fact, he was
prepared to fight for the road against
any common foe and carried with the
cavalcade four guns of the horse bat-tery
commanded by Major John Pel-ham,
the noted boy artillerist.
In spite of the cleverness of Stuart In
passing the ford the Federal troops
nearest the river heard of the expedi-tion
and sent word of it to headquar-ters.
Meanwhile the raiders galloped
on to Mercersburg, across the line in
Pennsylvania. Even the strange garb
of the Confederates didn’t open the
eyes of the people along the route, for
It was Impossible to believe that 000
southern horsemen would cross the
horde t in the face of 100,000 soldiers
encamped along the river. The chief
business of the raiders was seizing
horses. Scattering over a wide stretch
of country the troopers gathered in
everything in the way of blooded ani-mals.
only sparing those in use by
women. The hungry cavalrymen were
in.t allowed to take provisions from
the natives except where volunteered.
In the midst of a drizzling rain But-ler
planted two camion on a knoll over-looking
Chunibersburg, about 8 o’clock
tlie night of the loth, and sent forward
a summons to surrender under penalty
of bombardment. There was no re-sistance
and Stuart’s troopers mus-tered
In the public square, with their
newly acquired horses, lending their
own tired steeds. On orders front
Stuart, Butler demanded the funds in
the bank of the town, but tlie cashier
could only show empty vaults, the
funds having been sent north that
morning owing to nows of the raid
heralded by telegraph. The bank
cashier was courteous enough to trent
Butler’s party to the best lie had In his
house and other residents of the town
dhl the same for the rest of the raid-ers.
A committee of citizens made terms
with the raiders, and In the best of
good feeling Yankees and Johnnies
passed the night, the southerners be-ing
freely supplied with food and cof-fee.
Colonel A. K. McClure, a promi-nent
citizen of the town and also an
officer in the Federal army at home on
leave, regaled nearly a hundred of Stu-art's
officers and soldiers nt his resi-dence.
In the enrly hours of the 11th
the tired raiders turned Into their blan-kets,
some to sleep the sleep of the
happy go lucky trooper and some to
ponder how the cavalcade would get
out of the net into which it lmd so
easily ridden. It was plain that the
whole country was in the secret of the
raid and the Federal army alert The
rain had' Increased to a downpour, and
In n few hours the I’otomnc might rise
and obliterate the fords.
Before leaving Chambersburg Stuart
destroyed an ordnance storehouse and
railroads and other public property
amounting to $250,000. He also took
away thirty officials and prominent cit-izens
as hostages for civilians of the
Confederacy held by the United States.
About 1,200 captured horses went with
the cavalcade on its ride back to Dixie,
which was far more exciting than the
trip from the l’otomae to Chambers-burg.
Meanwhile the Federal cavalry,
such as it was, took the warpath to
head off the daring raiders when they
should attempt to recross the river.
The mouth of the Monocacy river be-low
the camps of the army was the
point fixed upon by the guesses of the
Federal cavalry lenders. To that point
one body was directed and would have
been there in time to do something but
for misleading reports which delayed
progress. A force of Infantry was sta-tioned
at Frederick, Md., and two bri-gades
lay on the cars at Monocacy
Junction ready to move at the word,
either to Frederick or eastward,
wherever Stuart might appear.
What are known as the lower fords
of the I’btomne were nearest the camps
of the Federal army and farthest from
Stuart when he set out homeward from
Chambersburg. Stuart reasoned that
the enemy would not look for him at
the lower fords because of the risk
he would run in that direction and the
fact that in order to reach them from
Chambersburg he must ride east to-ward
Gettysburg and treble the dis-tance
of his march. Stuart turned off
the Gettysburg road southward as soon
as he had crossed the mountain. At
that time there was a body of Feder-als
hurrying to Gettysburg from Balti-more
to catch the raiders. Reaching
Emmitsburg the night of the 11th, the
troopers were regaled by the Maryland-ers
and at once started for the Poto-mac,
forty-five miles distant. Soon
after leaving Emmitsburg Stuart
passed within four miles of Pleason-ton's
cavalry, which had been march-ing
and countermarching all day to
meet the raiders. At midnight Pleas-outou
learned of Stuart’s movement
and started in pursuit, but the raiders
were four hours ahead of him.
From Emmitsburg the southern cav-alcade
trotted the long night through
and made thirty-three miles by day-light
of the 12th. It was twelve miles
to the ford, and the troopers had rid-den
sixty-five miles within twenty-four
hours. All the lower fords were guard-ed
by Federals, and Pleasonton was
tipidly closing down by another and a
i hortcr road than the one used by Stu-art
to the only unguarded crossing,
the mouth of the Monocacy. At 8
o’clock Stuart’s advance came within
sight of Federal cavalry, which proved
to be Pleasonton’s. The Confederates
were all muffled in Yankee overcoats,
which they had captured at Chambers-burg.
Stuart rode at the bead oi the col-umn,
and when be saw that the Feder-als
hesitated at sight of the strange
command clad in blue coats he ordered
a charge. The Federals retired. Plant-ing
puns on a knoll, the raiders began
to shell the Federal cavalry, and the
main body dashed for the ford. That
was guarded by Federal Infantry.
Colonel Lee, who led the forward col-umn
and sent a flag of truce demand-ing
instant surrender, and to the sur-prise
of Stuart the Yankees retreated.
Covered by Pelham’s guns, the raiders
rode over the ford, and the last man
and the last gun were on Virginia soil.

"Ho!’' chuckled the old nmn. “You
have come too Boon. See, nothing Is
being done. We are about to leave this
place for a spot nearer tin1 railway.”
"Business Is not good, then?”
“Oh. Is It not?" said Vladimir. “When
one has a powerful friend to send the
Ironwork to him, It Is easy to get along.
We shall have a line shop and ten men
employed In the work. Instead of this
hovel my father and mother shall live
In a line house, and my father shall
work no more. I shall make money for
all.”
“Ah! Then I suppose you will bo get-ting
married?"
“That Is something I have not thought
of. 1 do not know.”
“Somebody else knows,” chuckled the
doting Papa Pnulpoft. “There Is an
American girl who thinks well of
our”—
“Husk.!” exclaimed Vladimir Impa-tiently.
"You are speaking of some
one whose name must be sacred.”
Ills face was Unshed, and Neslerov
looked at It senrehingly.
"You are very fortunate,” said Nesle-rov
Jokingly. “I can get no one to mar-ry
me.”
"You but Jest. Any one would be
A pleased to marry one of Russia's
wealthh'St princes."
“But such a one!” continued the In-discreet
old man. “She Is beautiful,
nhe Is rich, and she sends him books.”
“Good! She Is educating vou. She
must love you,” said Neslerov.
“Oh, as to love, that Is different. Her
acts are kind, and I feel grateful. '0it
for marrying — It will require a tine
man to mnke her happy.”
“He will make any one happy,” put
In the old woman, with a glance of
pride at the young giant. “Any girl,
even though she might be a princess,
would get no better for n husband.
Look at those arms! Can they not pro-tect?”
“They could felt n bull!" said Nesle-rov.
“How do you pass the time here?
Do you go to the nearest village or to
Perm and play?"
“Not he!” said the old man, pausing
long enough In Ills work to add Ills
tribute to this son they loved so well.
"That young man spending Ills time at
a village! I think not, your excellency.
■With Ills books lie spends his nights.
He studies or he paints.”
"What’s that? Paints!"
“Aye, Indeed yes. lie is n born paint-er.”
“And shoeing horses?"
“One gets a kopeck or two for shoe-ing
horses. One must pnlnt for the
pleasure of It. unless one Is well known.
It will come in time,” said Vladimir.
"See, he is not so simple as he looks,”
said Papa Paulpoff, nodding his head
townrd the big boy.
“Very far from simple, I should say,”
answered Neslerov.
"Old woman!” shouted Papa Paul-poff
suddenly, so suddenly that she
Jumped in alarm. “Go get the picture.
Let the prince see the face of her who
Is so kind to Vladimir.”
The old woman obeyed and rnn out.
“Her picture! You have her picture
' painted!” stammered Neslerov.
"Yes, I, and the good part of It Is
that she knows nothing of It. I shall
give It to her when she comes again to
see us,” said Vladimir.
“But I do not understand. How could
you draw a fnce without having It be-fore
yon?” naked the prince.
"Ha! It Is never from my sight. The
most beautiful face! A face that one
could not forget. I drew It—I painted
It—two—three and four times from
memory, and always alike.”
At this Juncture the old woman re-turned
with n picture In a frame. Si-lently
she handed It to Neslerov. He
sat with it In Ills hands, gazing down
hungrily upon the features he knew so
well. It showed two things—first,
that there was, undeveloped In the
young man, n talent that would make
him famous If It ever got a chamV; sec-ond,
that he must have the picture of
the girl Indelibly In his mind to paint
so true a picture from memory. And,
knowing Frances Gordon, Neslerov
knew that this man was a most dan-gerous
rival for her hand.
“But that Is not all he has done,” said
the old woman exultingly.
“Pshaw!" exclaimed Papa Paulpoff.
“He has done nothing else worth men-tioning.”
Vladimir looked up In surprise and
caught a swift look of warning flashed
from Michael’s eyes to those of Ills
wife. The warning flash was also seen
by Neslerov, and his curiosity was
whetted.
“Surely this cannot be all,” he said.
“Such a talent must have an outlet.
There must be something else. Come!
I will look at all you have and buy
what I want.”
“But not that,” replied Vladimir. “I
could not sell that.”
“But another of the same face?”
“No, I could not sell that face.”
“Then let me see something else—
something as good as this—and I will
buy It.”
“There Is nuotker woman’s face”—
began Mamma Paulpoff.
"Yes, and as beautiful a face as this,
but a Russian.” added Vladimir. “It
was a picture. Papa Paulpoff had It.
I found It one day and painted one
from it.”
“Show it to me.” said Neslerov.
1-lis eyes wen* fixed on Ike face of
Vladimir with soiueihing like I’car In
them now. lie glanced from one to
another of the group.
Papa Paulpoff showed evidences of
nervousness, but Vladimir was eager
to satisfy the prince, lie sent the old
woman for the other portrait.
She brought It and placed it In the
hands of the prince. At the first glance
his face went white to the very lips.
Ills hands shook. Ills frame trembled.
‘Good heavens!” was breathed under
1:1s mustache. The words were not
heard, but the manner of the man did
not escape Papa Paulpoff.
‘Who Is this—It Is a beautiful wom-an—
but her name?” asked Neslerov,
and his voice had turned suddenly
hoarse in spite of the effort to control
himself.
"I found a small picture one day aft-er
a party of nobles passed by,” an-swered
Papa Paulpoff.
A swift glance of suspicion shot from
the eyes of Neslerov to the face of Papa
Paulpoff. But the old man’s face was
perfectly Impassive.
“I will buy this. Name your price,”
said the prince. “And 1 will buy the
jther, the one you found.”
“Alas, It is lost!” exclaimed Papa
Paulpoff. “It was In a small house we
had years ago, and it burned down.”
"And the picture destroyed?”
“Alas, yes. It was so pretty, a noble
woman, perhaps even a princess,” said
Papa Paulpoff. “I wept like a child
when It was lost.”
Tears came Into his eyes now at the
remembrance of it.
“I will buy this. How much do you
ask for it?” he asked of Vladimir.
“On second thoughts. It Is not for
sale.” Vladimir answered.
"I d< aot wonder,” he said. “It Is a
beautiful face. We do not have them
in this part of Russia. In St. Peters-burg,
perhaps."
He shot a glance at Papa Paulpoff
ns he spoke, but the old man was bend-ing
down putting the hot shoe on the
horse’s hoof.
The Job finished, there remained
nothing but to pay the Pnulpoffs and
depart. The prince did this, bade them
a pleasant farewell, mounted Ids steed
and rode away.
“Explain the mystery!” cried Vladi-mir.
“You have not lost the picture!
You commanded me never to lose It!
Why the lie about the lire?"
"The picture.” replied Papa Paulpoff,
turning white under his thick beard,
“is that of a noble lady who was a
friend of my family and whom we as
children worshiped as a saint. 1 do
A JEALOUS GREENSBURG GIRL
THREW VITRIOL IN GROOM’S FACE.
George Longhner, a young employe in the Greensbnrg postofflee, and Miss
Pearl Lucas, a Lndwick lass, whose parents objected because of her youth,
eloped to Youngstown, Ohio, Saturday and were married. The young groom
met with a frightful experience Monday morning while on his way to work.
When in front of Coshev’s undertaking establishment he met Pauline Anker, n
county seat girl to whom, it appears, he had formerly pnid marked attention.
As he was about to pass on after having spoken to her, the jealous girl hurled a
tumbler of vitriol at his face. Fortunately, he threw up his arm in time to pre
vent the acid from striking him fairly. As it was, the side of his face and neck
were severely burned.
The fair thrower was promptly arrested and placed in jail. Later in the day
she wns released on bail, showing evidence of remorse for what she had done.

CHAPTER III.
AVLADlMIlt SENT TO SIBERIA. TTACHED to the police of the
government of Perm was an
inspector named Ignntz Jan-sky.
He was ambitious to rise
and was of thnt mental and physical
caliber that makes a nmn successful
when he bends all his energies, regard-less
of all scruples, to the attainment
of his goal.
Inspector Jansky, having received a
message from Prince Neslerov, hasten-ed
to obey, for he knew the power of
Neslerov, and if there should chance to
be promotion in his path at any time
Neslerov. as a wealthy noble of Gras-lov,
could further his possibilities.
Inspector Jansky entered the palace
of the prince with a humility that
would have charmed the poor devils
whom his eagerness had sent to Sibe-ria.
“Sit down,” said the prince, and the
inspector sat down with a suddenness
that proved his desire to please his
sponsor. “I sent for you.”
"You did, your excellency. I received
your message ami made all haste to
obey.”
“I trust It did not Inconvenience you
to a great extent,” snbl the prince, who
was quite familiar with the peculiari-ties
of the inspector’s nature.
‘Not at all. your excellency—that Is,
not so much but what It gave me pleas-ure
to obey. I am always busy, as you
know.”
‘Yes, you are assiduous. Well, 1 have
news for you. But first I should be
pleased to receive from you an answer
to a question. Wlmt do you wish for
the most?”
Jansky hesitated. His servile mind
saw far Into the future, ns a rule, but
It could not fathom the meaning of
this strange question. What did It
matter to the prince wlmt he wanted
most unless the prince wns disposed to
grant It?
“I should like promotion, your ex-cellency.
<>f course. I make no claim.
You have befriended me. You have
made me what 1 am. I have In my
humble way endeavored to so acquit
myself that you would not be displeas-ed.
I would not ask you for more.
But. since you ask my dearest wish. It
Is promotion.”
“It Is a possibility,” the prince re-plied.
Having said this, he deliberately
lighted a cigar, leaving the Inspector
on nettles, wondering if the possibility
were to materialize Into a fact.
"As I said before, It Is a possibility,”
Raid Neslerov and relapsed Into silence.
‘I suppose It Is always a possibility
to one so powerful ns your excellency.”
said Jansky, who had a tine talent for
flattery.
‘At this particular moment It IR more
easily accomplished than nt any other
time.”
“If your excellency will explain—If
anything Is expected of me, I would”—
“Duty, only duty,” broke in the prince.
‘But I will explain. You are already
aware that when you were made In-spector
of police In Perm the field of
police activity extended but little far-ther
east. The Cossack guards and the
Tartar cavalry composed the police
over the border. But this new railway
Is revolutionizing all that. In encli
government through which Ibis line of
travel passes or is to pass a depart-ment
of police Is to be established.
There will be new cities develop. There
will be railway stations. The popula-tion
if Siberia will increase and. though
complex enough at all times, will now
present a far greater variety than ever
before. The entrance of foreigners, of
conspirators, will have to be made less
difficult. The escape of a convict will
now be almost a mere act of stepping
upon a train and saying farewell to his
guards.
“It will be, therefore, quite necessary
to establish a system of police with
officers of more ability and shrewdness
than the Cossacks who now command
the rude guards who stand sentinels
over the czar’s great dominion In Asia.
“Such n department of police has al-ready
been established In Tobolsk,
through which the railway is now com-pleted.
it is time now for us to think
of such n department in Tomsk.”
As the prince and governor paused
the inspector's breath came short and
fast.
"And, your excellency, In the good-ness
of your heart you have thought
of me?"
“I lmve been thinking—of several. I
have befriended you. I desire to do so
again. But there are difficulties which
we must consider. Your present posi-tion,
while not a low one, still is so
low thnt the leap from it to the posi-tion
of superintendent of police of the
government of Tomsk would excite the
Imaginations of certain people at St.
Petersburg.”
“Superintendent of police of Tomsk!”
Jansky cried.
“Certainly. That Is the position for
which I intend you. I have watched
your career. You are eager, ambitious
and resourceful. What better man
could I have in such a position? It Is
upon you whom I must rely to prevent
the encroachments of our enemies. It
will be the superintendent of my police
who will be my closest confidant. Who
could be more acceptable to me than
you ?”
“I thank you, your excellency. I
thank”—
“Walt. Thank me with deeds when
wo succeed. As I said before, tbere are
difficulties. One cannot leap too great
a distance at once without a cause. We
must find a cause.”
“A cause, your excellency?”
“What I mean is some potent reason
for this great promotion. The chief of
the Tomsk police will have a palace, a
large income and will be second only
to myself in power. To obtain that
one must do something worthy.”
“Oh, if I could but win that distinc-tion!”
“I tlilnk it even now within your
power.”
“You have discovered something?”
“Yes—a very nesting place for ni-hilists.”
“Good! Give me an Idea where this
place is, your excellency. There will
be no more nesting.”
“Do you know a forge on the forest
road leading out of Perm to the south?”
“A forge? A horseshoeing Diace?”
“Well. Hint anil all Ironworking. It
Is kept by a mail named Paulpoff.”
“Paulpoff. the giant who breaks hotse-shoes
with Ills thumbs and forefingers?
The simple minded son of old MIchuel7
What has he to do with nihilists?”
“He Is their leader." Neslerov said
quietly.
Jansky turned white, whether from
surprise or horror nt the devilish plot
he scented we do not know. But he
sat there wnlthig. The police of Tomsk
needed a chief. The chief would have
a palace and a large salary.
“Yes." continued Neslerov. "this Paul-pofT.
ns I accidentally discovered, is the
lender of a hand of nihilists who meet
there In the shops. I chanced to pass
there yesterday and overheard a bit of
conversation between the son and the
old man. It seems there is to be a
meeting In a few nights.”
“A meeting of nihilists In the shops
of Paulpoff?”
“Yes. Now, It 1ms long been suspect-ed
that there were many nihilists nt
Perm, but the police have not been able
to uncover them. Let me advise you.
Keep this to yourself—a secret between
you nml me. We will go to the forge
and arrest these Paulpoffs. If we find
proof that they are nihilists, they will
go across the border and you will be
mentioned for promotion. Then the
opportunity will come to me to speak
to the minister of justice for you. and
undoubtedly you will he given to me as
the chief of the Tomsk police.”
Jansky nodded. It wns not for him
to ask questions now.
“I am ready,” he said.
"Then tomorrow. I will make still
further Investigations In my own way,
and we shall he ready to net. We must
both go to Perm from here.”
Jansky, not being asked to remain
longer, took his departure. And then
inddenly from his repose the prince be-came
a man of quick action. He called
from his estate four men In whom he
knew he could place the most implicit
confidence. Ho spent some time nt his
desk writing. To each of the four he
gave a letter, unsealed, unstamped, but
addressed to each and apparently hav-ing
been delivered by the hand of a pri-vate
messenger.
“Go with me, do what 1 bid you. and
you will have gold rubles for a year’s
pleasure," he said.
Inspector Jansky, happy and yet agi-tated
nt the result of the conference
with the prince, sat In Ills office in
Perm on the following afternoon. It
was growing late, and he had looked
hours for Prince Neslerov.
“He was mistaken or he has failed,”
he said "He would have come if there
wns a possibility of success.”
As he spoke the prince’s horse gal-loped
to the door.
“Good! Then success Is possible!”
said Jansky, grasping the hand of his
noble benefactor.
“Possible! It Is certain. Come with
me.”
Jansky’s horse was soon by the side
of the steed ridden by the prince.
“I made it my business to ride past
the shops of Paulpoff,” said the prince.
"I met there, just leaving, a man who
wns, to say the least, discreditable in
appearance. I spoke to him, anil he
was frightened. 1 saw him crumple a
paper in Ids hand. I snatched it from
him. It was a message addressed to
‘Number Five’ of some mysterious cir-cle,
calling upon the person bearing
that name to come to the shops at a
certain hour tonight. We shall be In
time. Let us ride.”
It had so chanced that a number of
accidents to Imrses bad taken place
that day on the forest road. When
the inspector of police and Neslerov ar-rived,
four men were within the shop,
their horses standing outside, and all
were apparently in the greatest eager-ness
to have their horses shod. Papa
Paulpoff was visibly disturbed by this
sudden influx of the horseshoeing busi-ness,
but the giant Vladimir, who nev-er
refused a request if he could help a
human being, wns beginning to mnke
the shoes. The men did not apparently
know one another, and each growled
continually at the others for being
there.
Neslerov, upon arriving at the shop,
whispered to the inspector, and both
leuped from their horses.
“Seize the old nmn nml the son!” said
Nc-sleroT. “I will search these fel-lows.”

frarewell to Autumn.
Go, autumn, since you can’t stay with us,
go!
We would not seek to keep that which
Is dead;
The leaves are gone that dangled over-head,
The flowers that bloomed have ceased,
alas, to blow!
The ferns are withered where the stream-lets
flow,
The robin and the tuneful lark have
fled,
The cows are all humped up behind the
shed,
And leaden clouds are hanging thick and
low,
But what care I? Though angry winds
ere long
Will sweep across the hills all brown
and bare,
I will not sit and sing a doleful song,
For in my heart is gladness rich and
rare;
The whist club that they made me Join
last year
Is busted! I care not that winter’s near.
