At the caucus the other day, reciprocity with Can ada was endorsed and Taft's meas ur will be passed thru the house without amendment, but following right on its heels will come a FAR MORS' FREE LIST. The main objection to Canadian reciprocity has been that It removed duties off farmers' products but not off farmers' needs. The Democrat la caucus says what's sauce for the goose is a fair tidbit for the gander, and so the tariff will be taken off a lot ot things the farmer has to buy, such as agricultural Implements. wire fencing, boots, shoes and sad dies, baling wire, cotton bagging, cot ton ties, bagging ties, burlap and n't.

"Cood Lord, pal, you're' not going to dump us overboard! It's ten feet deep along here." - Pull on your left, bard.' That's right I'm going to land you on the opposite shore." Two minutes later they ran up un der the western bonk of the stream, which at this point was . fully 300 yards wide. Under cover of the dead ly revolver the two men dropped luto toe water, which was above their waists.' The 'limp form of Peter Bru tus was pulled out and transferred to the shoulders of his companions. Good night." called out Truxton King cheerily. He bad grasped the oars. , . ; I'll row over to the east side," an nounced King to the girl, "but I don't like to get too close to the walls. Some one may have heard the shouts of our friends back there." . Not another word passed between thorn for ten or twelve minutes.-' She peered anxiously ahead, looking for signs of the barge dock, which lay somewhere along this section of the Ity wall. At last the sound of rapidly work ing rowlocks came to the girl's ears. ("They're after us." grated Truxton in desperation. "They've got word to friends one way or another. By Jove. I'm nearly fagged too! ' I can't pull much farther: Hello! What's this?" The side of the boat caromed off a solid object In the water, almost spill ing them Into the wind blown river. ' "The docks!" she whispered "We struck a 'small scow, I think. Can you nna "your way in among the coal barges?"'' ' - He paddled along slowly, feeling bis way, scraping alongside the big barges wnicn delivered coal from the distant mines. ' At last he found an opening and pushed through. A moment later tbey were riding under the stern of a broad cargoless ' barge, plumb up against the water lapped piles of the dock.- -- - - - - Standing In the bow of the boat he managed to pull himself up over the slippery edge. It was the work of a second to draw her up after him. He gave the boat a mighty shove, sending It out into the stream once more. In a few minutes loud curses came from the river, proclaiming the fact that the pursuers had found the empty boat. Afterward they were to learn that Newport's shouts had brought a boat load' of men from the opposite bank, headed . by - the - Innkeeper, In whose place Loralne was to have en countered. Marlanx later on, If plans had not miscarried, By this time King bad located the open space which undoubtedly afford ed room for the transfer of cargoes from the dock to the company's yards Inside the walls. Without hesitation he drew her after him up this wide, sinister roadway. - The pursuers were trying for a land ing, t noisily-' even boisterously. . It truck Truxton as queer that these men were not afraid of alarming the watchmen on the docks or the man at the gate above. Suddenly It came to him that there would be uo one there to oppose the landing of the miscre ants. No doubt hundreds of men al ready-had stolen through these gates during the night, secreting thenmulves in the fastnesses of the city, ready for the morrow's fray. I They rushed up the narrow railway Chutes and through one of the numer ous gateways that opened out upon tbe barge" docks.i No one opposed them, No one was standing guard. From be hind came the sound of rushing foot Steps. " Lightning Bashed In tbe sky, and tbe 'rumble of tbuuder broke over tbe desolate night -: ' i- I "They'll see us by the lightning, gasped Truxton,' almost ready to drop from falntness and exhaustion. ' Following a vivid' Bash of lightning, two shots were tired by tbe men who were now plunging up through the gates, a hundred yards or wore away, The' same flash of lightning showed to .: King tbe narrow, muddy street that stretched ahead of them.

They fell over on the floor, completely fag ged.' - '- "' "' " ' - - -i i- A few minutes later the atorm broke. He managed to close the door against tbe driving torrents. k : . l : "We've fooled them," he managed to whisper close to ber ear. "They won't look here. You're safe, Loralne. Gad. I'd like to see any one get you away from me now!" She pressed his arm. Then abe was fast aaleep.

His last waking thought waa of the effort he must make to reach Dangloss with the warning. - Something stirred In tbe fsr end of tbe car a still small noise as ot some thing alive that moved wltb the un meet wariness. : A heavy, breathing body crept stealthily across the Inter vening space, so quietly that a mouse could have made but tittle less noise. Aa Instant Ister the bluish flame ot a sulphur match struggled for life, growing stronger and brighter In the hand of a man who stood above the sleepers.
