' Mliny Netv England- farmers " have found that taking summer boarders is a much more profitable and less laborious means of livelihood than tilling an unkindly soil. Such a one is a certain Old Man Stonefield, as he is generally known. Much to the surprise of his neighbors, therefore, he was seen to be engaged in planting several acres of corn about his place. "Thought you said boarders paid better'n corn," one of them remarked, resting his elbows on the fence and glancing over the unpromising field. "Do," was the laconic response, as the old fellow turned his team at the I end of the row. "What you plantin' corn for, then?" the other inquired. The old fellow chuckled. "Oh, I "ain't plantin much; jest enough to make them city folks feel they really is on a real farm," he explained. Live and Let Live. "Lire" spelled backward is "evil;" and "liyed" Is tha "deriL

NAVY LOBBY IS BARRED But Bacon Says the Barring Loots Too Autocratic for Him. Washington, Jan. 2G. Asserting that the line officers of the navy had made the challenge: "We are gains to light a fire under every senator and member, and oblige them to report the naval personnel bill," Hale presented a resolution in the senate directing the secretary of the navy to Investigate RDd report to congress whether or not a violation is being made of the presi dent's orders prohibiting lobbying on the part of government employes. Bacon opposed the resolution as a restriction on the right of petition. Ha had the same criticism to make as- to the executive orders referred to. "It does not sound like the twentieth cen tury- to me," exclaimed Bacon, "these arbitrary orders of the president. It has too much the sound of autocratic or unrestrained ruleissued to hirelings. nd not free men." Bacon maintained that the executive orders referred to affected the fundamental right of 200,000 persons. On Bacon s objections thB resolution went over. BANGS IS SHUT OUT One of the Lowest Bidders on ths Canal Is Rejected. Washington, Jan. 2t. As a result of an extended conference at tha White House it was decided to reject the bid of Oliver & Bangs, who proposed to complete the construction of the Panama canal for (5.75 per cent. of the total estimated cost, in so far as Anson M. Bangs, of New York city, is concerned. While no oificial statement was given out at the White Housa it can be authoritatively stated that if William J. Oliver, of Knoxville, Tenn., can enter into a satisfactory arrangement with some other contractor who is financially responsible he will be given the contract for the construc tion of the canal. There would have been no question as to awarding the contract to Oliver it Bangs had the credentials presented by Bangs proved as satisfactory to the officials here as those furnished by Oliver. Senate and House in Brief. Washington. Jan. 20. Resolutions to cheek naval officers from "lighting a fire under senators and members to compel the enactment of the naval per sonnel bill at this session" were pre sented in the senate bv Hale and went over after a snappy debate. The urgent deficiency appropriation bill, car rying a loan of $1,000,01)0 to the James town Exposition company was passed. The latter part of the day was devoted to the disposition of pension bills. The house passed a number of billa of a local nature, Including 3.S0 priite pension bills. The agricultural appropriation bill was then taken up, and the question of the free distribution of garden seed occupied the remainder of the day. Blocks a Chicago Scheme. Washington, Jan. 20. The army en gineers have advised Secretary Taft tha t he has no authority to grant the application of the sanitary board of Chicago for permission to reverse the flow of the Calumet river In that city and cre ate a current through that waterway from Lake Michigan. The project would certainly result in the lowering of the level of the water in Lake Michigan, and injuriously affect navi gation in the various ports and harbors which the government has improved at great expense. Booze a Special Clam. Washington. Jan. 2G. The house committee on judiciary decided to make a favorable report on the Brantley bill making intoxicating liquors a special class in interstate commerce and forbVWing the collection of money on C. O. I), shipments of such liquors in stilted where the sale of liquor is forb!dcf n bv the state laws. Postoflioe Appropriation. Washington, Jan. 2'd. The postoffice appropriation bill to be reported by the house committee on postoffices and post roads will probably carry between ?2O3.OGO.t.i00aud $2oS.(XX,000,as against an appropriation of $191,000,000 for the current year. Beall Throws Demetral. Chicago, Jan. 20. Fred Beall, of Wisconsin, made William Demetral, Chicago's aspirant for the heavyweight championship at eatch-as-catch-can style wrestling, look like a novice when they met here. Demetral had twentyfive pounds the best of the weights and the referee if his critics did not do him an injustice. But still Demetral was easy for Beall. The referee, however, gave Demetral the second fall, and was alone in the gift. Beall won the other two easily. V. 31. AY. Executive Adjourns. Indianapolis, Jan. 20. The national executive board of the United Mine Workers has finished its work and adjourned. The board decided that an attorney should be called on to draft suitable employers' liability and workmen's compensation bills. The workmen's compensation bill will provide that a specified amount shall be paid for the death or Injury of a man killed or injured whilefollowing yome hazardous occupation.

HARD

That Matter of the Free Distribution of Seeds to the Grangers. NOT A DEAD ONE YET, EITHER Pathetic Plea Is Made by a Southern Statesman. Arrangements for the Funeral of Sen ator Alger Will Lie in State at Detroit Coal Trust Oflidaily Discovered. Washington, Jan. 25. In connection with the discussion of agricultural appropriation bill In the house there was a general debate on the committee provision appropriating ?238,COO for the prrchase and testing of new, rare and uncommon seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs and vines, and omitting the usual appropriation for the purchase of ordinary Howers and garden seeds for distribution. Chandler of Mississippi led the fight for free seeds, and in a long spMch In favor of the provision in Inst year'sappropriationbill he charged that the item in the present bill was the work of a lobby composed of seed men of the country, and of effective newspaper work. His "Dear Old Farmer Friends." ITe said he could not go back and look his "dear old farmer friends'' in the face, after the increase of the salaries of congreemen, if free seed;? were not to be had. He offered a substitute providing for free seeds as heretofore. He criticised the department of agriculture for interfering in the matter, and said the government was becoming n bureaucracy. Clayton of Alabama insisted that the amendment of the committee placed in the hands of the secretary of agriculture a power which he did not believe "any bureau chief should possess." Hepburn of Iowa demanded to know whether the provision carried in the bill would not put the "rare and unusual seeds" provided for there wholly in the hand!) of the seed men, as they were the only well-known experimenters. Some Remarks on the Other Side. Wadsworth, chairman of the agricultural committee, replied that he could not see how any such interpretation could be made in the reading of the paragraph. Scott of Kansas, in defending the proposed plan of distribution of seeds, said the department of agriculture had suggested tho amendment. He thought the government with the same propriety might give lead pencils to the people, jackknives to the boys, as to give free seeds. He said the press1 of the coilntrj. the agricultural colleges, and very largely the farm journals, were op posed to the congressional distribution of seeds. There was much more talk, but the matter was not acted upon. FUXEIIAIj OF SENATOR ALGER Remains Will Arrive at Detroit Sun day and Lie in State. Washington, Jan. 26. Assistant Secretary of the Navv Newberry, who is arranging the details of the funeral of the late Senator Alger so far ao that can be done from Washington, ha? announced that at the close of the funeral services to be held here at 2 p. m. today, the body will be removed to the Pennsylvania railroad station and placed on the train due to arrive at Detroit at 30:45 a. m. tomorrow. After consultation with Mrs. Alger, and telegraphic exchanges with Colonel Frank Ilecker, who is In charge of the funeral arrangements at Detroit, it was decided that when the body of the late senator arrives in that city it will be removed to the city hall and lie in state during the remainder of Sunday. Monday morning the casket will be takfn to the Alger residence, where funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. The United States army will be represented by an escort of three or four companies of infantry now stationed at Fort Wayne, and by a firing squad to give a military character to the services at the graveside. Colonel Hecker has also been authorized to provide for a participation in the funeral procession of the Michigan National Guard, and of the Detroit Loyal Legion. ITe has likewise been charged to select the pall-bearers for tho funeral. IMSCOVERS ANOTHER TRUST Interstate Commerce Commission Comes Down on the Coal Roads. Washington. Jan. 20. The interstate commerce commission has transmitted to congress its first report on the investigation of discriminations and monopolies under the joint reso lution of congress passed March 7, 1000. and known as the Tillman-Gillespie resolution. The report deals with bituminous coal carried east of the Ohio river and in territory' bounded on the south by the Norfolk and Western railway, on the north by Canada and on the east by the Atlantic seaboard. The conclusion of the board is that ths great coal-carrying roads have organized an unlawful and oppressive

3 te TTTSf CHAPTER IV. A Voice from the Lake. I ran to the window and peered out Into the night. The wood through which we had approached the house seemed to encompass it. The branches cf a great tree brushed the panes. 1 was tugging at the fastening of the window when I became aware of Bates at my elbow. "Did something happen, sir?" His unbroken calm angered me. Some one had fired at me through a window and I had narrowly escaped being shot. I resented the unconcern with which this servant accepted the situation. "Nothing worth mentioning. Some body tried to assassinate me, that's all." I said, in a voice that failed to be calmly ironical. I was still fumbling at the catch of the window. "Allow me, sir," and he threw up the sash with an ease that increased my irritation. I leaned out and tried to find some clue to my assailant. Bates opened another window and surveyed the dark landscape with me. "It was a shot from without, was it, sir?" "Of course it was; you didn't sup pose I shot at myself, did you?" He examined the broken pane and picked up the bullet from the table. "It's a rifle ball, I should say." The bullet was half-flattened by its contact with the wall. It was a cart ridge ball of large caliber that might lave been fired from either rifle or pistol. "It's very unusual, sir!" I wheeled upon him angrily and found him fumbling with the bit of metal, a troubled look on his face. He a once continued, as though anxious to allay my fears. "Quite accidental, most likely. Probably boys on the lake are shooting at ducks." I laughed out bo suddenly that Bates started back in alarm. "You idiot!" I roared, seizing him by the collar with both hands and shaking him fiercely. "You fool, do the people around here shoot ducks at night? Do they shoot water-fowl with elephant guns and fire at people through windows just for fun?" I threw him back against the table so that it leaped away from him, and he fell prone on the floor. "Get up!" I commanded, "and fetch a lantern." He said nothing but did as I bade him. We traversed the long, cheerless hall to the front door, and I sent him before me into the woodland. My notions of the geography of the region were the vaguest, but I wished to ex amine for myself the premises, that evidently contained a dangerous prow ler. I was very angry and my rage increased as I followed Bates, who had suddenly retired within himself. We stood soon beneath the light3 of the refectory window. The ground was covered with leaves which broke crisply under our feet. "What lies beyond here?" I de manded. "About a quarter of mile of woods sir, and then the lake." "Go ahead," I ordered, "straight to the lake." I was soon stumbling through rough underbrush similar to that through which we had approached the house Bates swung along confidently enough ahead of me, pausing occasionally to hold back the branches. I began to feel, as my rage abated, that I had set out on a foolish undertaking, l was utterly at sea as to the character of the grounds; I was following a man wbom I had not seen until two hours before, and whom I began to suspect of all manner of designs upon me. It was wholly unlikely that the person who had fired into the windows would lurk about, and, moreover, the light oi the lafttern, the crackle of the leaves and the breaking of the boughs advertised our approach loudly. A bush slapped me sharply and 1 stopped to rub the r.tlng from my face. "Are you hurt, sir?" asked Bates solicitously, turning with the lantern. "Of course not," I snapped. "I'm having the time of my life. Are there no paths in this jungle?" "Not just here, sir. It was Mr. Glen arm's idea not to disturb the wood at all. He was very fond of walking through the timber." "Not at night, I hope! Y'here are we now?" "Quite near the lake, sir." "Then go on." I was out of patience with Bates, with the pathless woodland, and, 1 must confess, with the spirit of John Marshall Glenarm, my grandfather. We came out presently upon a gravelly beach, and Bates stamped suddenly on planking. "This is the Glenarm dock, sir; and that's the boat house." He waved his lantern toward a low structure that rose dark beside us. As we stood silent, peering out iato the starlight, I heard distinctly the dip ol a paddle and the soft gliding motion oi a cance. ! "It's a boat, sir," whispered Bates, hiding the lantern under hi3 coat. I brushed past him and crept to the end cf the dock. The paddle dipped on silently and evenly in the still water but the sound grew fainter. A canoe 13 the most graceful, the most sensitive, the moat inexplicable con - trivance of man.

CaT&cr sas or &aas trn Co. may dip up stars along quiet shores or steal into the very harbor of dreams. I knew that furtive splash Instantly, and knew that a trained hand wielded the paddle. My boyhood summers in the Maine woods were not, I find, wholly wasted. The owner of the canoe had evident ly stolen close to the Glenarm dock, but had made off when alarmed by the noise of our annroach throuch the wood. "Have you a boat near here, Bates?" I asked. "The boat house is locked and I haven't the key with me, sir," he re plied, without excitement. "Of course you haven't it," I rejoined, full of anger at his tone of irreproachable respect, and at my own helpfulness. I had not even seen the place by daylight, and the woodland behind me and the lake at my feet were things of shadow and mystery. In my rage I stamped my foot. "Lead the way back," I roared. I had turned toward the woodland when suddenly there stole across the water a voice, a woman's voice, deep, musical and deliberate. ."Really, I shouldn't be so angry if I were you!" it said, with a lingering ncte on the word angry. "Who are you? What are you doing there?" I bawled. "Just enjoying a little tranquil thought!" was the drawling, mocking reply. Far out upon the water I heard the dip and glide of the canoe, and saw faintly its outline for a moment; then it was gone. The lake, the surrounding wood, were an unknown world, the canoe, a boat of dreams. Then again came the voice: "Good night, merry gentlemen!" "It was a lady, sir," remarked Bates, after we had waited silently for a full mmute. "How clever you are!" I ineered. "1 suppose ladies prowl about here at night, shooting ducks or Into people's houses." "It would seem quite likely, sir." I should have liked to cast him into the lake, but he was already moving away, the lantern swinging at his side. I followed him, back through the woodland to the house. My spirits quickly responded to the cheering influence of the great library. I stirred the fire on the hearth into life and sat down before it, tired from my tramp. I was mystified and perplexed by the Incident that had already marked my coming. It was possible, to be sure, that the bullet which narrowly missed my head in the little dining room had been, a wild shot that carried no evil intent. I dismissed at once the idea that it might have been fired from the lake; it had crashed through the glass with too much force to have come so far; and, moreover, I could hardly imagine even a rifle ball finding an unimpeded right of way through so dense a strip of wood. I found it difficult to get rid of the idea that some one had taken a pot shot at me. The woman's mocking voice from the lake added to my perplexity. It was not, I reflected, such a voice as one might expect to hear from a country girl; nor could I imagine any errand that would justify a woman's presence abroad on an October night whose cool air inspired first confi dences with fire and lamp. There was something haunting in that last cry across the water; it kept repeating it self over and over in my ears. It was a voice of quality, of breeding and charm. "Good night, merry gentlemen!" In Indiana, I reflected, rustics, young or old, men or women, were probably not greatly given to salutations of just this temper. Bates now appeared. "Beg pardon, sir; but your room's ready whenever you wish to retire." I looked about in search of a clock. "There are no timepieces in the house, Mr. Glenarm. Your grandfather was quite opposed to them. He had a theory, sir, that they were conducive, as he said, to Idleness. He considered that a man should work by his ecu science, sir, and not by the clock, the one belns more exacting than the other." I smiled as I drew out my watch, as much at Bates solemn tone and grim, lean visage as at his quotation from mv erandsire. But the fellow puzzled and annoyed me. His unob trusive black clothes, his smoothlybrushed hair, hi3 shaven face, awakened an antagonism in me. "Bates, if you didn't fire that shot through the window, who did will you answer me that?" "Ye3, sir; if I didn't do it, it's quite a large question who did. migrant you that, sir." I stared at him. He met my gaze without flinching; nor was there anything insolent in his tone or attitude. He continued: "I didn't do it, sir. I was in th pantry when I heard the crash in the refectory window. The bullet came from out of doors, as I should judge, sir." Thefact3 and conclusions were uni doubtedly with Bates, and I felt that j I tad not acquitted myself creditably j la my effort to fix the crime on him. j My abuse of him had been tariless, to ' Bay the least, a&d I now trie ther lias, at Attack.

"Of course, Bates, I was merely Joking. What's your own theory of the matter?" "I have no theory, sir. Mr. Glenana always warned me against theories He said if you will pardon me there wis great danger in the speculative mind." The man spoke with a slight Irish accent, which in itself puzzled me. I have always been attentive to the peculiarities of speech, and his was

not the brogue or the Irish servant class. Larry Donovan, who was English born, affected at times an exaggerated Irish dialect that was whollv different from the smooth liquid tones of Bates. But more things than his speech were to puzzle me in this man. "The person in the canoe? How do you account for her?" I asked. "I haven't accounted for her, elr. There's no women on these grounds, or any sort of person except ourselves." "But there are neighbors, farmers, people of some kind must live along the lake." "A few, sir; and then there's the ecnooi quuw a mi uejona your own west wall." His slight reference to my proprietorship, my own wall, as he put it. pleased me. "Oh, yes; there is a school girls? yes: Mr. Pickering mentioned it But the girls hardly paddle on the lake at night, at this season hunting ducksshould you say. Bates?" "I don't believe they do any shooting, Mr. Glenarm. It's a pretty strict school, I judge, sir, from all accounts." "And the teachers they are all women?" "They're the Sisters of St. Agatha. I believe they call them. I sometimes see them walking abroad. They're very quiet neighbors, and they go away In the summer usually, except Sister Theresa. The school's her regular home, sir. And there's the little chapel just beyond the wall; the young minister lives there; and the garden er's the only other man on tha grounds." "Show me my cell," I said, rising, "and I'll go to bed." He brought from somewhere a great brass candelabrum that held a dozen lights, and explained: "This was Mr. Glenarm's habit. Ha always used this one to go to bed with. I'm sure he'd wish you to have it, sir." He led the way, holding the cluster of lights high for my guidance up thai broad stairway. The hall above shared the generous lines of the whole house, but the walls were white and hard to the eye. Rough planks had been laid down for a floor, and beyond the light of the candles lay a dark region that gave out ghostly echoes as the loose boards rattled under our feet. "I hope you'll not be too much disappointed, sir," said Bates, pausing a moment before opening a door. "It's all quite unfinished, but comfortable, I should say, quite comfortable." "Open the door!" He was not my host and I did not relish his apology. I walked past hira into a small sitting-room that was, in a way, a miniature of the great library below.
