The reply of President Wilson to Pope Benedict’s peace proposal will meet with the instant approval of the American people, We are a} lov- ing nation and we prepared ourselves for war with more than the ordinary wrench, ‘We go into war literally to war against future war. President Wilson voices our innermost convic- tions when he says that we want a stable and enduring peace, and then adds these pregnant words: “This , agony must not be gone through with again.” A world in which such wars were always possible, in which such wars were always impending, would be too horrible in which to live. The presi upon the rulers of Germany, and, in doing so, draws at once a terrible fa- dictment of the Prussian military e and a cogent presentation of the! ns which forced us to take up he object of this war,” says the president, ‘is to deliver the free peo- ples of the world from the menace and the actual power of a vast mili- tary establishment controlled by an irresponsible government, which hav- ing secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to ca the plan out without regard either to the sacred , obligations of treaty or the long es- hed practices and long cherished principles of international action and honor; which chose its own time for the war; delivered its blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier, either of law or mercy, swept a whole continent within the tide of blcod— not the blood of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent women and children also, and of the helpless poor; and now stands balked, but not defeated the enemy of four-fifths of the world.” We are asked by the kindly pope to sit in council with the representa- tives of this kind of Germany and dis- cuss peace with a full remembrance of treaties ruthlessly broken, of solemn covenants treated as. mere scraps of paper. President Wilson truthfully says we cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a guar- antee of anything that is to endure, unless explicitly supported by conclu- sive evidence that it is the will of the German people. This a clever and adroit way of saying that any promissory note of the Hohenzollerns must be endorsed by the German people, and that as col- lateral and a guarantee of good faith, German armies must be withdrawn from Belgium, from northern France, from Serbia, from Courland, from all! the invaded territory and, further. more, that the inhuman and barbarous submarine warfare must be discontin- ued. Only when the German people! force their rulers to take such peace- ful steps as these will the civilized) nations of the world be in a mood to| discuss peace. Only when Germany| gives such evidence of a real change of heart will the democracies of the world dare to discuss peace. The allies must be convinced that when they sign a treaty it is one that will be observed. They must be con- vinced that when peace is declared, mere armistice during which the Prussian military masters will prepare for a greater war, profiting by their mistakes and ‘pi viding against all chances, Terrible as the present con- flict is, wloody as it is, destructive as it is, the president feels that it must! be waged inflexibly, so that never) again will it be possible for any band | of ruthless men to plunge the world into such a hell, And in that deter- mination he-has: the united backing of the people of the United States and of its allies. The agony through with must not be gone One strange thing about those white house suffrage pickets--they aren't on the fence. A KIND WORD FOR CHINA. We call the attention of our allies to our newest ally, the republic of China, with the suggestion that now is a good time to act handsome to- ward her. something like $500,000,000 unpaid in- demnities from the Boxer war. ‘Phere always has been doubt about China's governmental bility for the Roser rebellion, but when we, alongside of Germany, Japan, Russia, France and Britain, marched up the hill to Pekin that time, and boxed the Poxers, we marched down again with China’s promise to pay $300,- 000,000, to be divided pro rata among us civilized nations and Germany. Uncle Sam never took his full share of this loot. He took enough to pay his military expenses during the fam- ous expedition and to satisfy the dam- age claims of his citizens but, humane- ly returned the bulk of his indemnity swag to China, and the latter invested it in scholarships for young Chinamen in our colleg But the other parts of the Boxer indemnity China has been unable to pay and the total ha run upto approximately a half billion, which she cannot pay, although she has declared war on Germany and re- pudiated Germany's portion respons e A°$250,000 painting has been stolen from a Russian grand duke's palace.

No food was brought me during the afternoon, nor had I eaten all day, yet my mental state was such I had no consciousness of hunger, I had dis- covered no means of creating a light, although my eyes were sufficiently uc- customed to dimness to enable me to move nbout my narrow quarters safely enough, It must have been between eight and nine o'clock when the key turned in the lock of my door, and Liverpool looked in, The light from the swing- i into blinding me, yet I recognized his face, and saw Dade close behind him, bearing a tray. Neither of them spoke, but Red, having assured him- self of my presence, stood aside, and motioned the steward to enter, The latter deposited the luden tray on the desk, aud backed out silently, every movement showing him thoroughly cowed by his guardian. Realizing that any, word from me.would only result in insult, I remained silent, and the two disappeared, closing and loeking the door behind them. T confess I ate the food with relish, for it was well cooked, and served with some daintiness. After n second cup of coffee I felt much more like myself, rummaging through the captain’s chest until I found some tobacco and a pipe, which I at once appropriated to my own use, No one returned for the emptied dishes, and IT sat for a long while at the open port smoking, the blue spiral swept away by the rush of air, and my eyes on the starlit waters. T had been sallor long enough to ac- cept the ordinary perils of the sea as part of the profession, Nothing was tou strange to be true at sea; and so it was not the position In which I found myself; not the possible fate of the In- dian Chief, or of her captured officers, which weighed most upon my mind—it was Vera Carrington, If those villains Ing lamp in the main cabin fl S, my seuttled the ship; if they took to the | boats to save themselves, leaving us to drowa like rats, what would they do with the girl?) Would McCann dare to take her with him? Would he venture leaving her ulive to bear witness to his crime? There was but one an- swer—not unless she was utterly in his power, Either he must quiet her by force, and thus br her spirit to his will, or else compel her to marry him, and so legally seal her lips. And the man was perfectly capable of taking either course — whichever seemed easier, This was the consideration which served partially to arouse me from coma. I could not continue to sit there waiting for Fate to approach; better far to go forth and meet it in manly fashion, I had a good strong kuife in my pocket, and the lock of the door Was a common one, the wood surround- WANTED—Competent girl by day or} week.

There was nothing in that obstacle to prevent my escape, and if I was discovered at large, my pun- ishment would merely be confinement elsewhere. I hud tnerefore nothing to lose, but everything to gain by the ¢x- periment. The hour was late, the night had thus far’ been a quiet one, and it (Copyright A. C. McClurg & Co., rortably situated, was drowsing at his task. Anyhow, I would muke Hitle noise, and the chance was worth tak- ing. ‘The labor proved easter than I had} supposed. The soft pine yielded eusily to the sharp blade, and 2 very few mo- ments sufliced to cut the lock clear, enabling me to open the door silently und take cautious survey of the muin cabin. At first I doubted the presence of anyone, and had, indeed, ventured forth before perceiving the form of a man outstretched on the divan sur- rounding the butt of the mizzenmast. The fellow was asleep, yet restl enough to be dangerous. His face wa in shadow, and I thought it best not to venture close enough to identify him, although the dim light revealed a belt about his waist, and the bulging butt of a revolver, Convinced that my only hope of accomplishment lay in the discovery and release of my fel- low prisoners, I crept across the de- serted cabin, und entered the pas leading forward, Somewhere amid- ships these were surely confined, But I was not destined to discover where. I had taken scarcely a step when the companion door opened, and a man started down the stairs, Crouched in the darkness, I saw the sleeping guard, aroused by the noise, spring upright, and as the light fell on his face, I ree- ognized a seaman named Dubois, The man on the stairs paused, gripping the; rail, staring down as though momen- turily blinded by the light. “Is that you, Dubois?” he asked in the harsh croak belonging to Jim Whit “D— you—you was asleep.” “I lay back to rest, but I was ‘not asleep, monsieur—non, non.” “Well, we won't fight over that now. You're the only Frenchman on board, and we want you on deck. Go on up; I'll stay here, Aye, man, yer better leave the gun.” 5 p “Vat ees it, Monsieur White? Why they want me on deck?” “What's the difference, you frog- eater?) But I'll tell yer anyhow. There is a cruiser showing up off our port quarter, which has caught sight o’ us, She looks Frenchy, and if there Is a hall, it will be up te you to answer— you are the only’ one aboard this hooker who talks ‘the lingo like a na- tive, see!” Dubois stood staring, his lps parted in sudden terror, “A French warsheep; eet dail us?” “Not yet; but they are bound to question us, all right. There! did you hear that? A shot across our ‘bows, politely asking us“to heave to; aye! and weinre slowingdewn'; come; hirry up on deck with you; Frenchy.” “But—but, monsieur,: what ees It I can say? I know ‘not ze words, ze— ze explanation.” * “You speak French, don’t you?” ~ < “Oui, monsieur, oul, but—but-1 know mot what to spenk.” “Well, dor’t let that worry you. Mc- Jann will tell you--but God pity you, Dubois, if you fail to repeat it, Up with you now, and be lively about it!" All thought of my ‘former purpose vanished from my mind as I realized this new chance of rcscue. At any risk T must attain quickly to ‘the open deck, w 1 could create an alarm sufli- e cient to awuken suspicion on board the approaching Frenchman, McCann's ofily hope of escape lay in some satis- factory explanation, which would lull the inander—some lie smooth enough to prevent boarding and ‘search, Assured that White was beyond ob- servation of any of my movements, J erept cautiously around the stair rail,! and noiselessly mounted the steps, I found the after part of the main deck deserted, although forward of the mainmast I could perceive dark blotehes along the port rail, where members of. the watching party were observing the approach of the French cruiser. With heart beating like a trip- hammer, I made my way along the front of the cabin, until I ventured to peer over the port rail, secure that my presence on deck was screened by the deep shadows tn which I lurked. The gleam of the stars alone re- vealed the glittering surface of the sea, but the night was clear of fog, and the The Black Outline of the French War. ship Was Plainly Visible. black outline of the French warship was plainly visible, approaching us at half-speed, and silently closing up the narrowing gap of water between the two vessels.

Even as I stared a. the grim spectacle, the slim figure of a man ap- peared at the end of the bridge, and a voice hailed us in French, “Ahoy there!

What shape are your boats in?” “Shree of them left, monsieur.” “Send the captain, with the French- man, over with the ship’s papers. lively about it.” “Oui, monsleur; what is the name of the warship?” “The French cruiser Descartes, on patrol, Get your boat over.” What would McCann do? Was he rendy for such an emergency as this? Had he taken the precaution to alter the ship’s manifest, or even forged a new one? There was & moment of ex- cited talk on the deck above me; ther McCann descended the starboard lad- der, and disappeared through the com- panion, evidently after the ship's pa- pers, Liverpool’s, voice ordering the watch to lower number five boat, and stand by, sung out from the poop rail. McCann emergéd from the companion, called up to Liverpool, waving his hand with a lnugh full of confidence, and went forward. A moment later he was joined by Dubois, and the two men claumbered over the rail and dropped into the lowered bout. His ‘fnetions, his sy manner, startled me; those must | be carefully forged papers in his pocket fidence. Slowly I lifted myself until T could peer over the side at the dark expanse of water between the vessels, ‘The searchlight of the warship rested in a glare of white on thé small boat bobbing up and down, revealing the men at the oars, and McCann and Du- bois in the stern sheets, Neither glanced back, but T ‘could see their faces clearly, and McCann was smiling jas though at an excellent Joke. “(To be continued.)

During his visit} east he had observed the location of ; the white men’s cities, and he foresaw that the natural advaniages of Bis- marck’s present location would appeal to the early pionee: The bottoms south of where Bismarck now stands were favorite feeding yrounds for; great-herds of elk back in the fifties and sixties, and hunting parties came from west of the river every year to Kill ‘the elk, whose flesh was a prime favorite with the Indians, while its thick hide was utilized for moccasins and other articles of wearing apparel.” eo ORPHEUM OPENS SEPT. 3 Manager Bauer of the popular Main street play house announces the op- ening of his theatre Monday, Septem ber 3, with a matince daily at 3 p. m. and two coniplete performances night- ly starting at 7:15 and 9.
