By tb morning post that young lady received a letter, which (ba read tbrougb sev eral time, then ran to ber room, flung herself upon tba bed and expressed ber emotion In teara and hysteric. Mis Renwyck, In passing tbrougb the ball, caught the sound of weeping and went In to comfort ber.

Contrary to Mr. lteiiwyek'a positive statement, the distinguished legislator bad not gone back lo Aus tin. Instead he had quietly stopiied over In Wushliigloii, held close com munication Willi several mighty olll clals, then wired frantically to his most trusted lieutenant, the vice chnlr mmi of the statu improvement commit tee at Austin, In a cipher code. These comuiunlcatlniiH were Imperative or der. concerning (he passage of a cer tain deep water harbor bill. Tiie nou. sir.

They had enjoyed no dinners In New York, but they were confident In a certain hope of at least partaking of tho dessert vicariously through Mr. Kinwiilt. The other person Interested In teleg raphy was the heavy hearted Mr. Bill Williams, himself en route for New York. Half a day U'fore he reached Buffalo he received a dispatch from his son Itlchard, and for a quarter of an hour he was radiantly happy; then be received a second one couched In the same words, and It puziled hlra, especially In tho earnest warning to return to Texas nt once and watch his liurbor scheme. At Buffalo ho received a sheaf of yellow envelope which re sembled a lino poker baud, In that (hero were four of llieiu all of the same kind. In highly ornate Innguago the cattle king expressed his belief that a trick was being played on blm by his eue ni I -s, so be left the train and sought tho nearest telegraph office. His friend, Mr. I,oger, had failed to stale the name of the hospital In which the son lay dying, and Mr. Bill William had not seen lu the Ran Antonio papers the dispatch about his son, so the father wired all the hospitals lu New York for Information and lost three hours' lime lu waiting for answers. He received a number of replies from various Institutions, eight of which dis claimed all knowledge of the patient, while the ninth advised him that Mr. liichnrd Williams of Han Antonio, lex., was truly confined In Bt Luke's l.o-ipiiiii and that his condition was not so favorable, owing to an Increase of fever. Bill Willliims was convinced some crafty trick was being hatched, but he hoped later ou to set lie with the lieu. Meanwhile, whatever hap pened, lie must go to his boy. He seut one more telegram and then hastened on to New York by the next train. This telegram, addressed to Mr. Richard Williams, wos received St Bt I.tik"'s boepltal, and s pretty, fresh cheeked nurse took It to Ird Croy- hiud's room. A telegram, Mr. Wllliaris.

Shortly after dinner the final prepa rations were made for the evening's entertainment. A tiny stage bsd been constructed at oue end of the double drawing room and was provided with hum) some plush curtains designed to slide upon a wirewhen they worked properly, which wus Infrequent-which when opened revealed a dainty Interior scene.

To 'Judge by a fluttering chorus of feminine approval, he made the tin of the evening, though In de scribing hia stage fright afterward he used a most un-Kngllsh simile. "Ton my word,"- he confessed, "I felt as If I hud swallowed a live Jack rabbit that was trying to bolt eleven ways at ouce. Fancy!" The play went off without a bitch, except for one trifling Incident which came near spoiling It altogether. The dismal Mr. Von der Awe, true to his principles on realism, forgot about the wig aud committed the Indiscretion of kissing the bird plump upon ber tempt ing Hps, whereupon the ruffled lu gen ue gave him a most realistic box on the ears, forgot ber Hues and start ed lu on an Inpromptu but spontaneous denunciation. This, In a measure, made Miss Renwyck's subsequent part fall flat, but no oue In the audience seemed to know the difference, while both the mau and bird agreed after ward that It Improved the play. If Miss Run wyck failed to be Impress ive In the great denunciation scene, tho same could not be said of her per sonal appearance. Khe wa dressed lo an evening gown of soft, dull black, which brought out tha snowy white ness of ber throat and arms. In ber thick dark tresses a great tiara glow ed and sparkled, rivaling, It aeemed, the riviere of splendid gems about ber neck, while at her breast blazed a mammoth' brooch. Fashioned lu the form of sn eagle with outstretched wings, a shimmering blase of light, the proud bird stood as an emblem of Its country' wealth and daring, perched on the bosom of a princess of the free. To Richard, In bis present state of mind, Harriet aeemed the most ra diantly perfect creature yet produced since the world began. As she bowed behind the footlights for lh second time to an enthusiastic encore a large bouquet of American Beauties wa tossed upon h stage, and Miss Har riet blushed as she stooped for this most apposll tribute to her own charms. When safely behind the cur tains she glanced at a card attached, which bor two words, "An Ameri can." Thl signature was vague, yet somehow Miss JCenwyck picked the donor out from myriads of gentlemen who might better bsv claimed the title, and again she blushed a she buried ber face among the fragrant buds. "How splendid of blmt" she whis pered to-bef rose. "If only he bud been my cowboy perhap-perhsp" But the rest wa a secret which the roues never told.

"The farm production for 1007 Is well up to tbe average Iu quantity, while Its value Is much above that of any preceding year. The farmer will this year have more money, to spend and more to Invest than be ever bad before out of bis year's work." Thst is Secretary Wilson's opening state ment In his eleventh annual report, and some other pleasant items are as follows: "The starch of corn becomes the fat nf thA hoir anil the finish of the steer." thus becoming a great factor In the production of meats aud meat prod ucts for export While not as large as tbat of 1900, tbe value of tbe corn crop of 1907 Is greater and Is 20 per cent above tbe average value of the crops of tbe preceding five year. Tbe wheat crop of 1907 Is 025,570, 000 bushels, 5 per cent less than the average quantity for the Ave preceding yearn. But the value Is about 1500, 000,000, or BV4 per cent more than the average, although the crops of 1901, 1902 and 1905 bad each a slightly higher value than that of this year. Tbe seven cereal crops produced 4,135,000,000 bushels, showing a loss Of 214,000,000 bushels, or 8 per rent below the five year average, the loss being chiefly due to oats. The total value Is 12,378,000,000. This exceeds 1900 by $290,000,000 and Is 23 per cent above tbe average. During tbe fiscal year 1907 the ex port of farm products exceeded the Imports by $444,O0O,OU0, a balance that has been exceeded only four times In 1898, 1899, 1001 and 1902. Cotton Crop. TBIUO till!

For a moment the burglar listened to the low murmur of his confederate's Tolce lu the adjoining room, smiled aardonlcally and slipped stealthily through the open window.

"And-and you won't publish the copies?" quavered MTSs Imogeue as though terrified at the sound of her ow n whispers. "No," said the man; "1 give you my word ns n gentleman," with n singular misapprehension of the meaning of the term. "Hurry with the dough. It's getting hile." Assured that the letters completed Miss Imogene's Indiscreet list, Miss Hanlet tossed a roll of bills In the circle of light which was made by the bullseye lantern. "You would better go now," she said In a tone of disgust which she tnadu nn nil.., not til lllKL'UisC. "I Will, tlose the window alter you." The man counted the money hurried ly, slipped it Into his vest pocket and closed the slide of the lantern. "Thank you," he murmured, with a most elaborate bow. "I'm much oblig ed to both of you., lllch people like you won't ever miss n little sum like this, and It will make me rememlier you for many a day. even without Ihe recollection of your pretty faces. You've been square by tne, and I'll 1 square by yon. And now one kiss all around, mid we'll say good night." "You scoundrel!" breathed Harriet furious lo her linger Hps. "Co 111 ulanlly or I will call for help." "Oh, no, you wou't, my beauty!" laughed the man. "I'll lt you've kissed uglier men than me before, aud I'm going to take you down a peg You holler once and I'll shoot the man that conies to help yon." Miss Itenwyck, with the limp and whimpering Imogeue clinging to her waist, moved slowly around the bil liard table, while the burglar watched ber, breathing hard and follow ing with a catlike trend. He had taken per haps sl-c steps, and his back was now turned toward the door which led Into the hall. Suddenly he felt a savage grip about his neck and fouud himself with outllutig arms, his mouth and nose smashed flat against the table, while a tiny ring of cold steel was pushed In-hind his ear. ".Steady, you hound, or I'll give you a shot that you never saw lu bil liards!" The tone was low, but masterful, and Mr. Jack Hilda was far loo prudent a gentleman to jeopard his health by futile dlsoliedleiice. Therefore he made no Immediate attempt to move. On Harriet's brain, even In that dreadful Inslunt, flashed a vivid, In sistent memory. Again she was perch ed on the quivering broncho's back, pressed onward In a reeling, dizzy pool of dentil, while In her ears rang words of sweet encouragement.

Ouce more sharp symptoms of hys terica threatened to develop, and Misa Harriet's most persuasive mwer were taxed to avert an nlarmlijg outbreak. "Hush, dear, hush!" she whispered soothingly, then turned to Klchnrd. "Lord O'oylnnd," she said, "there are circumstances connected with this strange nlTalr which prevent me from explaining fully. Tomorrow, when Imo geue aud I are less nervous, crhaps we can make you acquainted wlih the reasons. For the present I U'g you to let this man go quietly. We have nothing more to fear from him." Klchnrd hesitated, glancing from Miss Harriet to the prisoner. "Of course.

I Imagine they would lie Inordinately glad tu see blm. Hut-Just as you like. There Is one more little matter, however, which I must Insist upon." He turned tu the prisoner. "This young lady." he said, quietly pointing lo Miss Imogene, "has paid you a somewhat exorbitant price for ber own rightful property. Oblige tne by returning the amount." "Oh, no, no; let lilm keep It!" begged the victim, but Klchnrd wns obdurate upon this point. Mr. Roderick Flt.george, having ac complished Ihe real object of his vis It, was glad, to be released ut any price, especially as the disposal of the letters was merely a device fur enter ing the house nnd holding the ladles while his confederate rifled the safe. Without- more ado be took the money from his pocket, tossed It upou the billiard table aud turned to the library door. "One moment," Richard demanded. "Miss Renwyck, turu this light upon him, please. Thank you. Now on me. I want this gentleman to knuw me If we chance to meet again.' After a moment's silent scrutiny the Texan spoke In a stern hut level voice: "My friend, I arn forced to let you go this time, though sadly ngulust my liicllnntlou. You owe your release to the kindness of the ladles. The next time the affair will be mine. If you ever molest llietn again lu any way I'll settle with you lu n way we make use of lu Texas. You understand? You are marked, my friend. I'd know your hnd eye lu Jerlrbo. Yes, and I'd follow you there, too, for the pleasure of wringing your worthless neck. Now apologize to these ladles, then gll!" In Richard's present tone there wus uo suspicion of un English drawl, and Hurrlet marked it Joyously, though half unconsciously, for the slrulu of fear aud auxlcty was now beginning to tell upon her nerves. Miss Imogeue was ready for complete collapse, and the two stood trembling lu euch other's arms. The burglur mumbled a aUmibllng apology, then passed luto the library through the door which Itlchard open ed for bis eilt He lost uo time lu stepping through the still open win dow and tu moment more wns skulk ing across the lawn. "Lord Croyland," began Miss Har riet, who Md followed from the bil liard room with Imogene clinging hope lessly to her arm "Lord Croyland. I want to thank you for" Tbe words died suddenly upon her Hps, and she leaned for support against the wall. "Who's there?" called a voice In the darkues from the stairs ln the ball. "Quick!" whispered Richard to the terror stricken girls. "It's your fa ther! Oo back Into the billiard room and slip upstairs wheu you get the chance. There! It's all right lav it to me." He gave them no chauce to disobey, but pushed them through the door, while he spurred his bruin for some Bowl excuse to account for bis presence In the library at this unseemly hour. "Who's there?" Mr. Heuwyck culled, nd this time lilcliard answered back: "Hello! It I I! Wll-er-I meau Croyland. Is Hint you, Mr. Heuwyck 7' He grablied a book al random from one of the shelves, then drew tjje ball portieres aside, to discover his host, revolver lu hand, on the dim lit stair, arrayed tn a long white night robe, which made hliu lock more gaunt and angular than ever. "Oh, It's you!" suld Mr. Heuwyck In great surprlne. "I thought I beard a noise a shot or somethlng-and got up to Investigate.

"Oh, that!" he laughed. "I turned the lever before I raised the susli Mis Renwyck explained It to me yes terday. Jolly little contrivance, 'pon my word. I should like Immensely to have tbe system installed at Croy laud Park." The bogus earl looked Innocent to the point of childishness, and the mys tified host was forced to accept Ibe very Inadequate explanation of the episode. Without comment he closed Hie window, set the alarm once more, switched off the llglil and slleutly, not lo say grimly, led (he way upstairs, meekly followed by the Texan, glad to have escaped further Inquisition. "I'm awfully sorry lo have caused yon all this bother," Richard apolo gized again ns they reached the upper lumllng. "I'm no end of a nuisance, renlly." "Don't menllon It, I beg you," an swered the tlnuncler, with forced cour tesy. "I hope you will sleep now. Oood night." Then the two parted and entered their respective rooms. "Strange," muttered Mr. Renwyck as he pulled the sheet about bis chin. "A peculiar lot, these Kngllshmen. Hut I dure say I appear Just us peculiar to them. He acted so strangely, too, about that check the other ulght One hundred thousand dollars! Humph! I wonder If be has a hundred thousand dollars. I begin to doubt It-doubt It exceedingly." Meanwhile Ihe Texan reached his room, mopped his brow and bunted for bis brandy flask. It seemed (o him that be wauted a good stiir drink as be wanted nothing else In all the world. He fulled to And his flask In Its accustomed place and surmised ac curately that If be found Woolsey Hills he might strike Its trail. The valet's sleeping room was next bis own, so without ceremony the master pushed open the door, admitting n HikmI of light. He did uot find bis flask, nor did he nud bis servant either, for the room wos deserted, and the bed bad not been occupied. "Ah!" observed the Texan thought fully. "Hre'r Fox has changed mas ters for the second time. Humph! A little awkward to explaln-for me, I mean." On Rest more a heavy silence fell agalu, which was brokeu, as before, only by that nntique clock and its soft chime, as It struck another quarter hour. Then two dim, ghostly figures crept slowly up the stairs and entered Miss Harriet Itenwyck' room. In a Utile while they were safely tucked lu bed nnd lay whispering In each other's arms. "Oh, Harriet, darling," breathed Miss Imogeue, "wasn't be er-Just splendid when he told that bouncer? I don't be lieve he's no Englishman ot nil.",,. "Nonsense!" the other laughed. "Of course be' an Englishman. Now try to go to sleep." It would be discourteous lu tbe ex treme to stute that a lady hod been guilty of another "bouncer," but at any rate Miss Harriet clasped a drowsy little figure to ber breast, thought of Texas aud smiled luto the darkness happily. CHAPTER XIX. jfl T 7 o'clock the next morning Mr. Renwyck hnd a telephone call from his partner In New York. It was of such a serious na ture as to cause blin to dress hurried ly and leave without waiting for his breakfast, though Mrs. Renwyck fol lowed blm to the front veruudn. beg ging hlin to wait for a cup of coffee. "No; haven't time!" he snapped a he climbed Into the waiting trap. "CJo along, Walter. Wboa! Walt a min ute. Hy fieorge," be exclaimed, with a frown of annoyance. "I forgot about those Jewels!"

He then in a fine tenor voice broke into chant, low and noCl, which wa noon answered from the crowd; higher and trouger rose the chant, until it seemed the whole log bouse vibrated. The men kept xplendid time and when at ast the chant mauk almost to a whisper the priest by a wave of the band (imp. ped the other voice and then snug a wed old song in a form few could fol low, hi voice being full of patho, trong and clear, yet sad, and when he ended there wa not a dry eye in the place and you could hear the deep drawn breath of suspense, the aong waa "Watching on the River." Not a word wait spoken for many moments. The men ban heard from home though few of them had ever een France, yet that love of country still dwells in every French-Canadian' heart and although under Rritish rule for centime yet they are Frenchmen both in language and at heart. .Hoori the Episcopalian mau stepped forward and in a clear,weet voice aang an vld familiar Canadian winter aong in French, many of the singer in the crowd joined iu and although it did not have the effect of the priest' effort yet he joined heartily iu it and noon another deep drawn breath wa heard.

Then each one preaent dropped a coin into Mc Donald a cap he adding two aovereign and then divided it equally between the visitor.

And for week afterward no trouble waa heard on the job and all the logs were hauled in just a Ibe big spring thaw com menced and the hone and rig were nent out on the snow.

Most of the so- called "inferior" wood are well adnpt ed to the treatment, and thi is espec ially true of oottonwood, aspen, willow, sycamore, low-grade pines, and some of the gums. When properly treated, these woods outlast untreated cedar and oak, which are becoming- too scarce and too much iu demand for other uses to allow of their meeting the demand for fence posts. Impregnation with creosote has been greatly cheapened by the introduction of the "open tank," which can be in stalled at a cost of from 930 to Hri, or much Una if an old boiler ia used. A tank with a bottom 12 square feet in area will suffice for treating 40 or 50 1 6-inch posts a day, or double this num- CLARK OF THE OREGON. He Corrects a Comparison of His Passage Through the Strait of Magellan and Evan's. Having just been shown a four-column article in the Evening Transcript of Jan I, about the voyage of the bat tleship fleet to the Pacific, I wish that in justice to my shipmates on board the Oregon, a well as to myself, you would publish this letter In the heading of the article these words appear: "The Oregon's east ward passage was much easier than this westward one;" and in one of the columns the following: "When Cap. tain Clark brought the Oregon through on his memorable voyage from ocean to ocean in IWOfhe anchored once. The Oregon wa favored iu her passage, for calm weather and westerly gales pre vailed, and Admiral Evan's ship, but ting into these westerly gules, will find progress more diflleult." dales are to be dreaded in the straits, on ber when two runs per day can be made The Mhanrntion nf craniuita tie nost is I i i i art.A antiivnicr -i .ti I i I n Buoiit as ioiiows: r.iicaiypvu, one-1 ni,. tenth gallon; willow, two-tenths gallon; sassafras, ash, hickory, red oak, water oak, elm, and maple, four-tenths gal Ion; Douglas fir, quaking aspen, and black walnut, six-tenths gallon; syea more, cotton wood, and lodgepole pine, seven-tenths gallon. The price of creo sole ia aliout 10 rents per gallon in the East and Middle West, 10 cents per gallon on the Pacific coast, and 27cents per gallon in the Rocky Mountain States. The cost of treating a post will therefore vary from i to 15 cents. Properly treated, it should give ser vice for at least twenty years. Experiments of the Forest Service show that with preservative treatment the durability of lodgepole pine in Idaho is increased sixteen year. The cost of creosote is there relatively high, yet by treating posts there is a saving, with interest at 0 per cent, of 2 cent per post yearly. More important than the saving, however, is the fact that through preservative treatment other woods are fitted to take the place of cedar, of which'the supply is rapidly becoming exhausted, A detailed de scnption of experiments in preserving fence posts, together with practical suggestions for treating them on a commercial scale, are contained in Cir cular 117 of the Forest Service.

This is not written in any spirit of detraction, but in the interest of fair dealing. The Oregon secured recogni tion in the mindn of many people from what appeared in the press, and not from official estimate, which practical ly ignored the way she passed and led the other battleships in the fight off Santiago, and the fact that the placing of responsibility upon her command ing officer for advance or Attack by our force on the coast of Brazil was the only instance of the kind during the war.
