"Ilut have you any particular rea sons for thinking him a "py from tho pope?" "Why, ho is a Romish monk, and ho hangs about tho most important places in our city. Even tho cir cumstanco I havo just related iiia trying to remain in the audi ence chamber whilo private business was going on and having to bo or dered out by tho emperor is some ground for suspicion. I mean to watch him at all events." "That's right," returned the duke. And then, after a moment's thought, ho added: "I do not seo why he should Ik) around after every petty duel that may bo fought if he is a spy from Home, and, besides, I havo heard one or two persons say that they wens sure they 'had seen him before." "Oh, that may bo only tho result of some strong resemblance which ho bears to some ono else. I am euro ho was never hero beforo not in Moscow." Again tbo humpbacked priest was cautioned about the work ne had in hand, and, having promised over and over again to bo very careful, ho took his leave. And Olga, duke of Tula, was left alone with his own thoughts. Bet ter for him had that wicked priest been his executioner. Hotter for him had ho been upon tho count's bed, rucked with- dying pains. Hot ter for him hnd he been a poor pun maker, so ho had been honest. Oh, better for him liud ho been the meanest beggar that walked the earth than what he was! Uut ho did not realize this. Ilo had a goal ahead, ond ho tried to ovorlookjtha black, dreadful gulf that yawnedrbe tween him and it. CHAPTER X. A STRANGE M.XVERT. The news wont out that the Count Conrad Damonofl mtint die. A few days licfore tho best surgeon in Moscow said ho would recover, but now that same surgeon said ho must full. A strange change had come over him. It was not a fever, but, rather, a consuming of vitality, lie was failing fast, and no art of medicine could revive him. Somo thought he must lie bleeding inward ly, but others knew better than this, because in that case there would be some outward symptom. Tho wound itself wa9 herding, but the disease was not. The physician anil the priest were now in daily, and the former almost in hourly, attend ance. The Fiirgeon was Kopani, and the priest was the humpbacked Sovotano. Thus lay the count upon his bed, weak and faint, but at present al most free from pain, and an old wo man was his only attendant, the prioft having just left. It was lust after noon. The dying man had just taken a powerful stimulating draft, though it was against the in junctions of the priest, as ho said that riy such means tho invalid might die liorcft of sense and thus lose his hold nnon salvation. Ho had just taken this draft when there was a low nip upon the door. The woman arose to answer tho sum mons. She conversed A few mo ments with the girl who had knock ed, and when she returned to the bod she announced that Ruric Ne Tcl wished to enter. "Let him come in," whispered tho count- "Rut" "Never mind," he interrupted as tho woman commeneoil thus to ex postulate. "Let him eomo in. By heavens, if he is my enemy let me see him 1 It may-serve to arouse us '3 ft Vg 'l vl M ad mc". So the woman went to the door again, and soon afterward Ruric Novel entered the apartment. Ho stepped lightly, noiselessly, to the ocusluc, out It wtla Kouiu momenta ero ho could distinguish objects by tho subdued light of tho place. By and by, however, ho overcame tho difficulty, and ho started back in horror as ho beheld tho features of his adversary. 1 low pale and sunk en 1 ' How deathlike and ghastly I Tho count noticed tho movement, and ho noticed tho look. "Count Damonoll," spoko the gunmaker in a low, solemn tone, "a few days since I heard that you were recovering, and I ' thunked God. But today they told mo you were dy ing, and I have' como to abk that I may tako your hand ero you pass away from earth. As God is my Maker and my Judge, I would rath er lio down hero and dio for you than have you pass away with a curso of mo upon your soul or on your lips. Forgivo mo for what I have done and never again will I en gage in such a wicked work. For my own life, it is my country's and my mother's and I have no right to throw it away, and my antagonist's life is tho sacred property of God, which I havo no right to touch but in self defense. Forgive me." Slowly and heavily moved the dy ing man over, and then ho extend ed his thin and wasted hand. "Ruric," ho said, and his voice was" stronger now, for tho potion was working, "I am glad you have come very glad for I have wish ed, above all clso of earth, to see you. I could not send fur you, for I knew not how you' might como. I havo been all wrong in tho things that havo passed betwixt theo and me. I was mad and a fool. .1 blamo you not,, but rather do I thank you for your kindness through all tho scene. Oh, I forgivo you with all my heart. . And now tell mo that I am forgiven." , "Forgiven?" repeated Ruric, with a trembling lip, still holding the count's hand within both his own. "Oh, would to God I could call you back to life I Forgiven? Oh, God, who reads all hearts, knows how humble, how sacred, is my forgive ness to you 1 Could I call you buck, could I wipe out tho past from my memory, I coidd dio content." "Enough," returned 'tho count warmly. ."This was my holiest wish, though prido has kept back its ut terance. Oh, I feared you would gloat over my death that you would bo glad when I was gone. "No, no I r I should havo been a monster then I" - "Thcro are many such. And yet I wronged you by tho thought. But I could not help it." A moment moro passed in silence, and then the invalid resumed: "There is ono reason why I should like to live I should bo prepared for a better life. Since Death has come eineo I havo known that ho stood waiting by my lied I have wondered nt the evil life I have led, and I havo thought that if the dark king would let me remain here a few years more I could bo a better .The body can bo hidden so far in that no stench can come from it in summer time even to those in the vault itself. So, you see, that is easy." . ''Then let the work lie done at once say tonight." "Tomorrow night, my lord, will do as well, for I am engaged to night." "Very well; let it bo tomorrow night. But, mind, this is settled. There is no moro question about this affair. When I seo yon again, I trust you will havo no reason to of fer why Ruric Novel has not been disposed of." "You need have no fears on that hpad, my lord. You may consider that the gunmaker is dead." "Right I So let it be." And thus did the wicked duke dis pose of Ruric Novel. Again Olga took a turn across the room, and when ho stopped there was a dark cloud upon his brow. "Savotano," ho said, "there is one more man whom I at least would bo assured is not in rny way. I mean that infernal monk. "I saw him this morning, my lord, and I am turo ho is watching me. And he is not alone. He has others with him.

Advertising ia thu fnrpa which bax developed Western America, and more csiiecially tho Pacific Coast, so Mpidly that its growth has been little short of miraculous. AH of the advertising in the world cannot posxlttly make a permanent mieeeiw of a proposition which U not what it purports to bo. Misrepre sentation amy sometime bring tem porary heneSt, tiut ran never pro duce a permanent success. The ad verlislng which has forced this western country forward so rapidly has been grounded on tho sure foun dation of merit. Nature provided the stock of eoods. The men who first came to realize the qualities of the stock in hand set about promot ing it. The result Is a stupendous triumph for the modern Idea of pub licity. Now, if you grasp the full Import of my Idea, you will understand that every one who has been In any way Instrumental in building up the west has been to just that extent one oi the promoters of this gigantic adver tising scheme. The outreauhing of this idea U m wide that it calls up many thoughts which havo not oocurred to the ordi nary advertiser thoughts which it will pay him to ponder in order to apply tiie principles to his own Indi vidual huiduesa. In tbe nature of things, you and 1 have not been so situated as to make our effort count for very much In the advertising propaganda of tho west. Who have been the leaders in this work? First of all, I should place) the newspapers. It is the common fault with most people to lose sight of the true relic tions of the newHpsper to the com munity in which it is published. Recauso of its semi-public charac ter, because it exerts itself to further the Intercuts of the community at large, it comes to be looked oh as a sort of public proMrty. The good offices of a paper In behalt of a com munity come to be taken as a mattor of conn e. I do not proKHo to discuss, the ethics of the case, becauRii there is a great deal to lie said, pro and con, but it will pay you to lake the repre sentative papor iu your community and go over It pige by pago, with tbe idea constantly In mind that that paper Is the private property the bread-earner for its nwuer. If you live in a city of 60,000 peo ple or less, my point will bo mure obvious than It will be In a larger city, although the same observation holds good : Any newspaper which is what it pnrports to be In the com munity in which it is published, is an insistent promoter of the Interests of that community. There are newspapers galore lu every section of the country, but it is my contention that tho newspapers of Western America have done more to develop the territory In which they are published than has been done by the papers in most other sections. It would be easy by instituting comparisons lietween the more im portant dailies west of tho Itocky Mountains with tho diilica in cities of tbe same size east of the Rocky Mouutains, to show pretty conclu sively that our large dailieegivea more complete service in every fea ture than do the eastern dailies. Not only Is their service interests of local readers more complete, but many of them have attained to posi tions of such Influence that their edi torial expressions are looked for by other sections of the country. This fact has secured for these ja pers a place in the newspaer world and has made them of inestimable value to our section, because it hss given them a broader circulation and more careful reading than is ordi narily accorded to papers of like caliber. It has consequently enhanced many fold the advertising value of these publications. Our imsrtant papers give much more attention to development news to write-ups of our advantages, to illustrations of our commercial enter prises, to articles bearing on business openings and possible investments; they give much more space to all this kind of matter lhau the same sort of a daily In the east. This is tho reason that they have ben so valuable to their section. This Is the reason that I feel that our important newspapers are in an altogether different class from the eastern publications. The local newspaier Is the bt ad vertiser of toy community. The outsido benefit which a com munity is to detitti from such a news paper ' ues'u'is, hVwever,"on getting the phper into the hands of outside people who might perhaps be inter ested in the community if its advan tages are proiierly brought to their Htteiitiuu. This phase of the matter has been very much neglected In most com munities. Sometimes a board of trade or other commercial body has seen to it that a curtain number of copies of the local papers were mail ed to eastern addresses. In few cases advertising In eastern publica tions has been usbdt) seeuro the names to send these local papers to, hut I nm sorry to say that this prac tice is altogether tix rare." It pre sents the only rational nccthod of placing this valuable locul advertis. ing matter In the right hands. I say, then,' to every man who feels that he would like to have some In fluence in the upbuilding of the Coast : Whether you live at a coun try cross-road, or in a metropolitan center, support your local pajier In every way possible, and help to cir culate it where it will do your com munity good.

It evidently was colder at Astoria last week aiuce the Astoriau rexrts lee on the streets that was used by the small boys for coasting. There were four hold-uia in Salem last Saturday night, one oecured within 160 yards of the Sheriff who was looking for tho highway men, Frank Phillips was arrested in Portland last Saturday night charged with boating Ids wife. Frank is a big hurley fellow who handles grain, and his wife a slender woman. The Dalles Mountaineer of la-t Friday reports that there la opposi tion on the Columbia River between that town anil Portland, A cut rate fare of 60 cents by boat Is quoted. The Salem Sentinel thinks the frightful wreck on the S. P. (Jo's road at Salem last week might havo been prevented If the train had been a p. proaching thu station at a loss speed. At the municipal election held last week in Astoria 120H votes were cast. Astoria has neen claiming a popula tion of 10,000, but recoiling five ieople to each voter, it looks as though the claim is a very liberal one. The Pokegama Sugar Pino Lum ber Comiany has commenced work on a 65 milo soction of railroad from tho statu line northward to Upper Kalamath Lake. In addition to the railroad tho company will put boats on Kalamath Lake and tributary rivers. , , The Dalles people are getting ready to jubilate when power from White river is delivered to tho city. The Mountaineer does not so state, but It Is supposed that electrical pow er Is generated at a dynamo station on White river and carried to The Dalles on wires. , One of the men held in jail ou the charge of having heled wreck the train near Colilo ia putting up a bold front and threatens to cause the United States a world of trouble, lie declares he Is a British subject ami proposes to maao his arrest the subject of International controversy. He is,however, more likely to stretch hemp. The project of building electric car lines from Tho Dalles south ward to Dufur and northward to Uoldendale is bruited, reports tho - Mountaineer. Pres. Seolyo of the White Colar transportation company prolllcs financial assistance. As the crow (lies Dufur Is 12 mile south of The Dalles and Uoldendale 14 north In Washington. E. E. Lytic, president of the Co lumbia Southern, was in Thu Dalles last Friday, returning Irom a trip to Shunlko. In speak lug of the devel opment of the country tributary to Shunlko, Mr Lytle told the Moun taineer that Immense quantities of land are being locatm! south of Shear er's bridge on Doschutos as far south aa Auteloe, and thu settlors are pre paring to seed largo tract- in that country to wheat. Ho thinks that locality will become ooo of the great wheat producing sections of the state. Astoria and Hammond tho Cap italist are not gelling on well togeth er. Hammond wants to ouiiu a uig mill, but Astoria refuses to make the concessions demanded, whereupon Hammond threatens to go to Seattle or Ticoina with his mill. So far this threat has not frightened tho city by tho sea into compliance. The Astor iansseem to think that Mr. Ham mond will not b able Ut transistrt his logs from the Columbia to the Sound. The Eugene Register lolls a gotsl story on Attorney Woodcock of its city who for n-crcatinn goes to his farm and the woods In his pastures whore ho makes a ham! at manual lalsir. The other day, dressed in his ranching clolhfw, ho ho irdod the nor thbound local for his ranch. Wear ing the farm tbo train slowed up and let him off. A new comer and his on wcr'i standing hy and the lsy asked his father what made the train stop there? His dtd replied that they wen- putting a hoist off tho train and said it was not right for the railroad roinr:ny to turn trHinps loose on the farmers, for they bother ed their wlv ts-ggingat tho Iwck door and stole everything in sight.
