CHAPTER X
Bp.Rmrr parkrnt piuipoaRa a TOASf.
Herlsirl Darrent luvl left Astray
hnoyed np with hojia Together they
And gone page by page throngh old
Marsden's diary nnd together had come
to the conclusion that hero at last was
something like the troth.
Astray was exultant in what ho called
the full establishment of his innocence,
but Darrent's euthnsisain was a little
Iimb pronounced. He recognized that
while there wne undoubtedly much in
tho diary that was truo, there was also
much that revealed aothing but the
Wanderingnof au enfeebled intellect nnd
that in sny endeavor to get the aente-nce
passed upon Astray Jfnrsdcn revoked
there would be the greatest difficulty to
tiersuade the governor where tho truth
ended nnd imagination commenced. If
J.iaiah Marsden drcnined that he had
killed his enemy, the man who dogged
his footsteps through Europe and had
chronicled as a fact in his diary thnt he
had done an, when it could be conclu
sively proved that at tho date set down
he had not been awny from Norcombe,
Ills., it was equally possible that the
final entry, tho ono thnt said that
Astray had been nnd gono, might also
be regarded as tho outcome of a drenm,
and Darrent was Ixinud to own this
possibility to himself, although he now
thoroughly believed in the innocence of
the inuu thut Astray might have re
turned. no felt thnt Astrny was innocent,
and yet if Astray hnd tw.t committed
tho murder, who had? Was it a stran
ger, perhaps a tramp, after all!
It wonld be hard, very hard, to make
the cool hended governor lielievo that a
man who had been stabbed had in the
throe of death written, "I am dying,
mnrdered by a stranger. "
Why shonld bet That was the ques
tion that perplexed Dnrrent Why t To
exonerato his son, with whom he. had
quarrel. il thnt night in case ho shonld
bonccnHcd. Hunil It was possiblo when
one looked nt it in thnt light
Perlia thnt construction placed on
tho pnper, together with the diary,
might have some effivt npon the govern
or. Anyhow he could bnt try. Hie
efforts hnd condemned Astrny Marsden,
and now his dnty was to obtain the re
lease of Astrny, and then together they
wonld senrch nntil they bronght the
renl cnlprit to Justice.
In tho midst of these reflections, du
bious and nnxions ns to what the nlti
mate resnlt wonld be, Dnrrent was in
terrupted ns ho sat by the fire in his
own room st the Palace hotel at Nor
combe by a rapping nt the door.
"Come in I" he cried, and rolicemnn
Thompson entaed.
"Well. Thompson." ho exclaimed
henrtily, for he had taken a fancy to
tho young policeman, "what can I do
for yon t"
Thoinjison wns evidently lit at ease,
ne shiftnl awkwardly from ono foot to
tho other and twirled his helmet nerv
ously between Ms fingers.
fr'Sit don, Thompson. Make your

"Thank yon. sir."
"Now. then, coma What is it?"

"Oh. I we I Yon desire promotion,

"No; it's not thut It's abudt the

"Oh I Wsn, what is it J
"Do yon fiel" And Thompson
hesitated again.
"Do I feel what, mant Ooon.Ron."
"Well, do yon fei you've got the
right ma nJ"
"Astray Marsden is condemned Is
thnt all you've got to snyT"
'No, sir. I'm not blaming yon for j
any mistake, because yove only put i
this and that together, bnt therg hat
been a mistake.
"Well if that's thecae, we'll get
him out JCfe4. easily as we pnt bira

'tinned, rising nnd clappiifl his visitor

"Well, sir, I saw thorn when they
were frmh.
"YosT What were they like?"
"1 took this copy," Thompson said,
pnlling a piece of paper from his pocket
"It's tho exact size."
Parrent snatched the paper and ex
citedly examined it Toe tips, heel tips,
hobnails. "Confonnd it afarmerl"
And thorn rang throngh Darrent's
brain na plainly na if the man were
standing hesido him sneaking the
words. "And tho atrodlnary part of It
was thnt 1 got np in the mornin, and
20 of them cows was froso. "
"Why have yon kept this to yourself
nil this timet" Dnrrent sharply asked,
turning on thn man.
"Well, yon wero so mighty snre, I
fenr.'d yon wonld have thonght it im
pertinence for mo to hnve tried to show
yon anything. " tho other retorted, itb
some amount of irritntioA.
Dnrrent bit bis Hps, thoroughly an
noyed. He remembered how he had
taken a curious delight in mystifying
nnd sarpriHing this novice, and he had
bet n canKht in his own trnp.
"Thompson," he said afters moment
or two, "yon're qnite right I wne an
idiot, bnt wo nre together on the right
side now, and I'm going to save Astray
Mursden."
"Thnt being so, sir, I'm Sorry"
"Nothing to be sorry ahont, my boy,
bnt you shonld not hnve given way to
temper. It might hnve been bad for
Astray. Never mind. Leave me now,
and we'll soon hnve him ont of Jail and
pat the right man there instead."
"Suppose it was that thick headed
fellow who lost the cowal" Darren t
mnsed oa hia visitor departed. "Well,
strniiger things have happened. Come
in, come in. What ia itt"
"A letter for yon, Just come, sir."
"Thanks. Hnm I Chicago postmark."
The contents of the not-o caused him
to start, to his foot in snrprise.
"Astra is something toward 'Astray,'
and so it is toward ' stranger,' " he
read, and thnt was nlL

Tuese are accomplished facts. Thru
three so-called off years the opposi

powerfully than ever. The demo

One new national issue, expansion

HOLLAND TORPEDO'
ISOAU SUCCESS
Built arjjd planned bij John
P. Holland of XZ
York.
COXKKMMl A IT KNACK
VYHAt it would roat to start a Mast
furaace with a rapacity of 200
tens p"r day.
The Holland submarine torpedo
boat has been severely tested by nav
al otllcera, acting for the government,
ana found not wanting. Mtie was
found to bfe easily controlled, when
under water as well as on ttie surface.
When the naval officers shook hands
with John P. Holland, the inventor
of the boat, and congratulated him
on his success, after he had worked
and struggled for 25 years perfecting
and making practical bis Idea, tears
streamed down his cheeks. It is
great victory for any man, to perfect
a boat to steam under water at eight
kuots an hour, without disturbing
the surface, not giving au inkling of
her presence. The government will
doubtless purchase the invention and
make use of the boat for naval pur
poses. The requirements for the test
as laid down by the naval board was
() Have three torpedoes in place.
(t) Have all arrangements made for
discharging torpedoes without delay,
(c) Be prepared to fire torjiedoes at
full spnfd when submerged as welt
as when at full speed on the surface.
(d) Have crew exercised by actual
practice sots to be able to make re
quired submerged runs and steer a
straight course. The boat met every
tost tith full satisfaction to the
board. .

IT IgANS TO START A
BLAST TRA('E.
FevV propl who have not actually
run a blast furnace realize what it
mear) to fill the cf. pious maw of one
of these monsters. A stack of 200
tons daily capacity running on 50
per cent ore, must hive delivered to
it each day something more than 400
tons of ore, 2"i0 to 300 tons of coke,
and over 100 tons of limestone besides
sand, coal sod minor supplies say
!)00 tons of raw material. Add the
200 tons of pig iron product shipis
out and we have daily freight
movement of 1100 Ions, taking no
note of the disposition of the slag.
The mining of the ore requires the
labor of 160 to 300 men, the coal
mining, coke Sating, quarrying of
limestone, at least 300 more. The
furnace itself employs about 160 or
more hands.
Starting up t furnace of ordinary
capacity, therefore, calls immediate
ly for tho labor of nearly a thousand
men, for at least a thousand railway
cars and many hrcoruotives, for -r-
haps several steamers and vessels on
the lakes, for capital, from the mines
to the pig iron, ol one or two million
of dollars, and last, but Dot least, for
a high order of managing ability.

It comes to light that the last leg
islature adopted t measure calculated
to a fleet the Administration of road
matters In all tha counties of the state
Altho the new law-i does not repeal
any of the lawn already on the stat
ute txsiks, that is, in so many words,
by a specific reisjaling clause, it prac
tically repeals the ethers or parts of
them. The statutory provisions of
this state for rmd business Bp-ar to
be somewhat mixed. At the present
time there are three road laws upon
the statute books. One provides for
the old system of road supervision by
road d Strict supervisors appointed by
the count court, and each one abso-
iS-Jy independent of each other L
OAie.
Then the other tew was enacted
empowering fiejrounty court to ap
point county 'superintendent over
all the public roads of the county,
and tn impose a cash road tax for
maintenance, of the hlfhways, in
place of tejil of labor with which it
has formerly been tlrQcuaftrn ui der
warrant of the statute to permit the
payment of the annual road assess
ment. Then, later stiff, at the last session
oil he frUUiiK thffd lav? was en
acted maklgtbene provisions:
The county court 'must" dfylde
the county Into distils', Tirjxrd ing
to its discretion, and at the general
state election of 1900 and annu dly
thereafter a supervisor must be elect
ed by the toten. of each district. )ne
provision of the law is that r.o voting
precinct may be partially in oneSsTlnobn and cmiders Ieey merely
trict and nartially in toother. An
other provision of the law is that
when a candidate Is elected to the
poaitloo of oad supervisor and refus-
es to serve in that capacBy he slia,ll
be fTie d by the )ii-s7i.j court f.
his ilis'rict, the tine money going In
to the funds for the n in intai nance of

All these various laws leave mat

In part the memorial to tho male
vot rs of Oregon, reads:
"We believe that only a small ier-
ceutagc of the women of our slate
ask for or desire the ballot. Our
svhool elections prove as do those of
every state iu the union which per
mits women to vote at such elections
that the great majority of Oregon
women do not use the ballot even in
school matters, in which they may
be presumed to take siecial interest
on account of their children.
"We believe thnt the majority
should rule iu this, as in other polit
ical matters, and that a small tho
eager minority of our sex should not
force sitting on Juries and running
for office upon the far larger number
of women who do not desire to vote.
We have no quarrel with our suff
ragist sisters; but we protest against
their being regarded as representa
tives of the true opinion of Oregon
women upon this vital subject.
"We also believe that the adoption
of this suffrage amendment would
necessarny lead to serious complica
tions in both the political and social
conditions of the sU te, and that such
complications would lie harmful to
the state in every way.
'lielieving these things, we. have
organized ourselves into au associa
tion known us the Oregon State As
sociation Opposed to the Extension
of the Suffrage to Women. We are
an absolutely non-political associa
tion, representing no creed or class,
with only one aim to keep our sex
out of politics. We desire to bring
the subject to your thoro attention as
voters and to ask you to defeat the
amendment if, after thinking over
the whole question you agree w ith
us that since Oregon women do -lot
want the Ini'lot, it should not be
forced upon them.
" We '.request that you read the
pamphlet which we inclose. It is

tion of women in the east. There
are now such ass'irttinns as ours in
