Monte Cristo, on the north coast of the Dominican republic, has been at tacked by rebels. Lord Decies has been sued for bills he owed before he was married to Miss Vivien Gould. The Canadian Brotherhood of Rail way Employes is on strike for higher wages and shorter hours. Norwegian capitalists are consider ing the erection near Portland of a gigantic nitrate plant, to cost many millions. Prince Don Jaime, o f Spain, who was born deaf and dumb, is to be edu cated by the Helen Keller method in America. Reginald McKenna was prevented from making a speech at Holberne- town hall, in England, by the uproar caused by suffragettes European powers make no reply to Turkey’s appeal for mediation, appar ently intending to let the Balkan al lies complete their victory. Before their flight from Statists, the Turks pillaged a monastery, cut a monk to pieces, impaled a 3-year-old child and massacred many inhabitants o f the town. A prominent military authority says that while the Turkish soldier learns the goose step, the Bulgarian is taught to shoot straight, and what is more important, to control his fire arm. The Turkish soldiers already are convinced of the inevitableness of their defeat and its result. A Turkish officer among those captured begged to be allowed to see K ing Ferdinand and ask him not to allow the mosque of the Sultan Soliman to be destroyed when Adrianople is taken. to the embassies in Constantinople for mediation by the powers and to end the hostilities and arrange a peace agreement. The ambassadors prior to this had asked the Porte to grant permission to each of the great powers to send one warship through the Dardanelles, und this request had been complied with. The only guarantee o f pafety for the , native Christians and perhaps foreign ers in Constantinople is to be found in the presence in the harbor of the Turkish capital o f the warships of the g reat powers. It is the general belibf that Bul garia will refuse to listen to anything in the way o f intervention until the Bulgarian army is at the gates of Constantinople, and will insist that Turkey make an appeal directly to the allies without interference from the powers. The powers have not been able to agree upon the French premier's formula o f ’’ territorial disinterested ness,” which is not acceptable to Aus tria or Germany. The powers are takng steps for the protection of Christians and their own political In terests in Turkey. One warship in addition to the vessels already dis patched to Turkish ports will be sent through the Dardanelles by each of the powers. The besieging forces are tigtening their grip around Adrianople and the bombardment is becoming more vigorous. In other directions the allies are concluding their occupa tion o f Turkish territory. The Greeks have taken Nicopolis and Prevesa, and have landed a division at Stavms, which is marching to attack Saloniki. AU T O ROAD NEARLY READY.

Portland- When is an egg fresh? The office o f the state dairy and food commissioner raises the question and will call upon the courts to decide. George Goodhue, one o f the proprie tors o f a commission house, has been made the subject of a complaint under a charge o f misbranding. The complaint sets forth that the defendant placed on an exhibit of eggs a card saying, “ Fresh Eggs, 35 cents a Dozen,” “ whereas,” says the com plaint, “ the eggs were not fresh and the defendant well knew that they were not.” With the “ moulting” season at its height, and a corresponding scarcity o f eggs, it is charged that the quality o f the offerings is being persistently misrepresented by dealers, who are handling the cold storage product as being fresh. This, contends the food commissioner, is a misbranding under the pure food law. -¿r UtLEAPKMS MI.

Th* roaring ri porta of the motor fell Into abrupt silence, as tba driver brought his car to a halt. “ You signaled?” he called across the grind of set brakes. In the blending glare of the search lights from the two machines, the ray one arriving and the limousine rawn to the roadside, the young girl stood, her band still extended In the gesture which had stopped the man who now leaned across his Wheel. "Oh, please,” she appealed again. On either side stretched away the Long Island meadows, dark, sound less, apparently uninhabited. Only this spot of light broke the monotony of dreariness. A keen, chill, October wind sighed past, stirring the girl s delicate gown as Its folds lay un heeded In the dust, fluttering her fur- lined cloak and shaking two or three childish curls from the bondage of her velvet hood. The driver swung himself down und came toward her with the un hasting swiftness of one trained to the unexpected. “ I beg pardon— can I be of some use?” he asked. “ We are lost,” she confessed hur riedly. " If you could set us right, 1 should be grateful. I—we must get home soon. I have been a guest at a house somewhere here, and started to return to New York this afternoon. The chauffeur does not know Long Island; we cannot seem to And any place. And now we have lost a tire. I was afraid— ’’ She broke off abruptly, as her com panion descended from the limousine. “ W e only want to know the way; we’re all right,” he explained. "This is my cousin; I came out after her, you see. Don’t get so worried, Em ily— we’ll go straight on as soon as Anderson changes the tire.” He huddled his words slightly and spoke too rapidly, the round, good- humored face he turned to the white light was too flushed; otherwise there was nothing unusual In his appear ance. And his caste was evident and unquestionable In spite of any cir cumstance. There was no anger In girl’s dark eyes as she gazed f * * “ name was Ignored, except for a slight lift of the hearer's eyebrows. “ How long does It take you to change a tire?" "About half an hour; It’s night, of course." An odd, choking gurgle sounded from the gray machine, where a dark figure had sat until now in quiescent mute ness. “ Half an hour!” echoed the gray machine's driver, and faced toward the chuckle. “ Rupert, It Isn't In your contract, but do you want to come over and change this tire?" "I'll do It for you, Darling," was the sweet response; the small figure rolled over the edge of the car with a cat-like celerity. "W here are your tools, you chauffeur? Quick!" The bewildered chauffeur mechan ically reached for a box on the run ning-board, as the young assistant came up, grinning all over his malign dark face. "Oh, quicker! What’s the matter, rheumatism? They wouldn’t have you in a training camp for motor trucks on Sunday. Hustle, please.’’ There never had been anything done to that sedate limouBtne quite as this was done. Even the preoccupied girl looked on In fascination at a rap idity of unwasted movement suggest ing a conjuring feat. “ By Goorge!” exclaimed her escort "A splendid man you've got there! Really, a splendid chauffeur, you know." The driver smiled with a gleam of lroqy, but disregarded the comment. "Would you like to get Into your car?" he asked the girl. "You will be able to start very soon.” “ I . see that,” she acknowledged gratefully. “ Thank you; I would rather wait here." "Is your chauffeur trustworthy?” "Oh, yes; he has been In my uncle's employ for three years. But he was never before out here, In this place." There was a pause, filled by the soft monotone of Insults drifting from the Bide of the limousine, for Rupert talked while he worked and his fel low-worker did not pleasi him. “ Wrench, baby hippo! Oh. look be hind you where you put It— you need HAY P E S T IS REPORTED. Agricultural College to Investigate and Take Action.

"You ain't well, you know. Not that I'd care if you did, but somebody might blame Darling." The car leaped forward, gathering speed to an extent that was a revela tion In motoring to Ffrench. Tho keen air, the giddy rush through the dark, were a sobering tonic. After a while he epoke to the man besldo him, nervously embarrassed by a situation he was beglnulng to appreciate. "This Is a racing car?" “ It was.” "Isn't It now?" " If I were going to race It day after to-morrow. I wouldn't be risking It over a country road to-night. A rac ing machine Is petted like a race horse until it Is wanted.” "And then?" "It takes 11s chances.

I— I didn't fancy It.” A wheel slipped off a stone, giving the car a Bwerving lurch which was as instantly corrected—with a second lurch— by Its pilot. The effect was not tranquillzing; the shock swept tha last confusion from Ffrench's brain. "W here are you taking me?” he presently asked. "W here do you want to go?
