SHOOTING GROUNDS ARE COSTLY
Payne Whitney's Partridges Stand
Him $10 Apiece
It is an expensive business or pleas-
ure to have an English country house
in the midst of a grouse shooting es-
tate, as many dear experiments have
proven. The luxury displayed at this
year's shooting has served as a topic
for conversation at afternoon teas
and clubs, both here and abroad.
Payne Whitney, according to reports,
has set an example which society will
Hnd costly to follow. Ridiculous re-
ports are being circulated as to the
outlay of the Whitney shootings. The
figures, if only half correct, show
that every partridge shot on the place
has cost Mr. Whitney about $10, and
every rabbit $:i or $4. Nor is the
expense confined to the host and hos-
tess, but the guests who "visit" feel
called upon to follow up the same
lavish scheme and tip the servants in
h manner far out of proportion to
their services. The tipping system
has become so overmastering at these
English shooting parties that, ser-
vants' palms have to be crossej with
silver at every turn.—New York

RACING TO FIND RADIUM
Scientists Believe Pitch Blende Is
Not the Only Source
A student of the sciences at the
Franklin Institute states that there
is an interesting race on between
scientists who are striving for the
honor of discovering radium in some
other substance than pitch blende. At
present radium is extracted only from
the latter substance.
"Radium is an element," says this
student, "and may exist In many
forms and combinations as yet un-
known. This has been the history of
numerous other elements, and there
would be nothing surprising if history
were to repeat itselfin the case of
radium. Such men as Edison are
looking for it. and there is a chance
that it may be found any tiny in such
quantity and form as to render it
very much cheaper—cheap enough,
indeed, to test fully its many sup-
posed valuable qualities in the cure
of various diseases. There is also a
chance, of course, that it does not ex-
ist otherwise than in the forms
already known, but history and the
probabilities are in favor of the other
t heory."—Philadelphia Record.
The wonderful mansion built by
Senator Clark of Montana at Fifth
avenue. New York, is nearing com-
pletion. The total cost will be ap-
proximately five million dollars. It
is not so large as one or two others
in that neighborhood, but it is by far
the most costly of anv of them.
AWFUL NEURALCIA
Mr. PorterThought He Should Go Mad
But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
Cured Him.
"It. seems like a miracle that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills should bavo cured
my neuralgia," said Mr. Porter. " They
are certainly a marvelous medicine and
lam always glad to recommend them,
"For two years," lie continued, "Iliad
suffered almost unendurable pains in my
liead. They would start over my eves
and shoot upward most frequently, but
they often spread over my face, and at
times every part of my head and face
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
pains were so intense that I actually
feared they would drive me mad.
" My eyes ached constantly and there
was always a burning sensation over my
forehead, but the other pains varied,
.sometimes they were acute, aud again
they were dull and lingering. I could
not sleep. My temper was irritable aud
I got no pleasure out of life.
" I tried remedy after remedy, but
finding no help in any of them, I be-
came a despairing man. Even when I
began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I
had no great hope of a cure.
"That was iu December of 1903. To
my surprise, a change in my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks were
further apart, as 1 kept on using Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. The improvement be-
gan with the first box, and when I had
used six boxes I stopped. My cure was
complete and has lasted ever since."
Mr. Charles H. Porter lives at Ray-
mond, N. H. He is one of ntan v gratefnl
people who have found that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have stubbornly resisted very other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia. Imt
sciatica, partial )>aralysis and locomotor
ataxia yield to them. They are sold by
all druggists, or may be obtained directly

CHAPTER XX.
Lar>g Condemned to Fight a Duel.
After a few short hours of rest, Wil-
son and Lang aroa# refreshed. With
Pearl's help the twain managed to
scare up sufficient food, easily pre-
pared, which answered for breakfast.
With the Intention of giving no visible
excuse to Schiller for further punish-
ment, and realizing that promptness
In reporting for duty was essential if
they expected leniency, they huntod
Rogers up and gave themselves in
charge.
Rogers conducted Lang and Wilson
to a cabin built In the side of the
mountain, situated in tlio north cor-
ner of the village. This was the en-
trance to the shaft leading into the
heart of the mountain. The mines
were practically only a tunnel about
200 yards long by 30 feet wide and
10 feet high at its highest point,
boarded up roughly, to keep the earth
from crumbling in and filling the
space. Over a hundred men worked
in this place. Some of these prisoners
had never seen the light .of day since
their incarceration.
"I suppose, I^ang," said Rogers, call-
ing Louis to one side, out of hearing
of everybody but Wilson, "that you
are prepared for the worsts in this
deal?"
"No, I can't say as I am," said
Louis, smiling, "but I can take it as it
comes. There is a great deal in feel-
ing that you don't deserve punish-
ment, and you know that I do not—
and I can make myself contented
under the circumstances. I brought
it on myself ignorantly, but if every-
thing goes on as it should I will be
the winner in the end. I am used to
hard labor, and as work Is all one to
me I don't care what I have to do. I
think the wife I've gained—the finest
little woman in the town is worth the
struggle. See?"
"Yes I see and I don't see! I think
I csu understand as well as anyone.
with a band of thieves later, and in
turn fell In with the convicts under
Schiller. The king had appointed him
to the position he now held, and It is
safe to assume that he was the kind
to take advantage of his power.
Cronoley conducted the twain to
their respective working stations. It
only took Lang about 10 minutes to
divine Rogers' true thoughts In as-
signing him to work wilh the "dig-
gers"—in the main, life prisoners, and
for that reason,a most desperate lot
of prisoners, whatever they had been
sentenced for. The reason, then, was
apparent to Lang. Here was the place
to stir up the insurrection! Lang set
his wits to work to get into the graces
of his fellow-workingmen as soon as
possible.
Lang fell under Cronoley's dis-
pleasure at once by his wilful clumsi-
ness in holding his pick and awkward-
ness, generally, and several times in
not too gentle terms was reprimanded
for loafing. On one of these occasions
Louis retorted back; in consequence
of his "sass," he was warned by t'*>
keeper that another offense of the
nature would mean twenty strokes of
the "cat." As a punishment, instead
of being allowed to go home for din-
ner at noon, he was compelled to load
up an extra car of dirt during the
noon hour alone, and only given 5
minutes for rest and a very light
lunch of dry bread and black coffee.
This was the first day. I-ang was
not so sure that the course he had
laid out for himself was the best, but
having started on the plan, despite
any discomfort to himself, he meant
to carry it out. In the evening Wilson
and himself were allowed their lib-
erty.
Arriving at the house they found it
deserted. No Pearl, no Dr. Hunting-
ton; phat could it mean? In silence
each ate a few scraps to appease their
almost ravenous appetite. Something
seemed to warn the lads that a strug-
gle of momentous importance was
A villainous personage was placing his rough hand over her month.
You expect to make it warm for Schil-
ler in some way though."
"That remains to be seen. It would
be foolish for me to give my plans
away at this stage in the game!"
"I know Wilson pretty well, and can
guess his plans for revenge. How-
ever, you might have done worst than
fall into my hands for safe keeping.
I'll treat you fair; but I want to give
you a little advice—whatever you do,
do it well."
"There are two meanings to this,"
said Lang to himself.
"I shall make Wilson overseer of
the cartmen, not such a hardened
rascal like yourself. I can trust him
to come and go between the mines
and Ihe river." Louis understood the
drift. "And you, Lang, I shall have
to give a pick and shovel and send
you into labor with the diggers—
lifers. We do not restrict even these
to absolute silence, so you can talk all
you want to; but I advise you not to
make a confident of any of my guards
—a word to the wise. You know, of
course, from overhearing my conver-
sation with Oolden, that I bear Schil-
't no love, but that is no reason why
I should be any too lenient with you!
Your experience must come from hav-
ing hard knocks, and your salvation
must come through your own self."
At this juncture Cronoley, Ri*?£-.V
ss!stant, entered the office.
"Give an ignorant man authority
and he will abuse It;" such was the
cose of Cronoley. He was a great,
burly, grizzled Irishman, of the typical
kind. At one time he had been a
sewer cleaner in one of our large
cities. He had killed a companion in
a fit of anger and made his escape
through the subterranean passages
which he know so well. He fell in
about to take place. Waiting until
there could be no doubt but what the
absence of the two was not occasioned
by the fact that they were simply out
walking, Lang and Wilson went to the
home of Golden aud stated the case
to him.
"Some plot of Schiller's." said
Golden, readily, "but what it is is hard
to state. I hardly think that he has
dared to abduct your wife from your
| home. He knows too well the penalty
for such a crime here! However, we
will notify Rogers, and if he thinks it
best we will call upon Schiller at bis
palace."
After^a little lime spent in scorch,
Rogers was found, and while offering
no clew, as to Pearl's whereabouts, he'
recommended a call upon the king.
The quartette searched the haunled
house thoroughly first, to satisfy
themselves that the lost ones were not
within its portals, then visited the
king's palace.
The king, not overburdened with a
surplus of servants, answered the ring
at the door, himself. "Well?" he
questioned, as if t a loss to under-
stand why he was paid a visit.
"Where is Mrs. Lang?" asked Gold-
en, who thought it best to precipitate
hostilities from the start. Schiller
was equally on his mettle. "I don't
know that that is any affair of yours,"
was the retort.
"Perhaps it is mine!" said Louis.
The quartette, while conversing, were
following Schiller into his office,
which was the front room off from the
hall leading from the front door.
"She is my wife. I desire to know
whor she is."
"Your wishes can't be many—a con-
vict!" sneered Schiller. "What do I
kuow of your convict wife'"
It was with effort Louts restraincfl
himself from sulking the intuiting
man.
"Listen to n:e, then!" thundered
Rogers, speaking for the first time.
"I know that Mra. I.cng Is in this
house. Her husband may bo a con-
vict. but she. as a wife, is bound to
receive protection from every honest
man."
"That will do. Rogers!" said t'.s
king, very calmly. "When you say
Mrs. Lang Is in this house, you lie!"
What might have taken place after
this declaration is hard to say.
Whether Rogers would have tried
conclusions with his superior or not
never was demorstrated. Schiller had
scarce hurled the threat, when a pierc-
ing scream was heard, whose echo
filled the half-empty palace.
Lang made a dive for the rear of the
house. "My wife!" he cried, and had
darted through the hall and into the
kitchen. There he met a sight which
riled his very blood, and made him for
a moment u very madman. A villain-
ous looking personage, dressed in the
garb of a guardsmau, was struggling
to keep Pearl from shrieking, by plac-
ing his rough hand over her mouth,
while supporting her in his arms.
Ostensibly he was attempting to carry
her from the room.
It took Lang but a second to kuock
the fellow down and catch his wife in
his own arms before she fell to the
floor. When the party, headed by
Schiller, arrived upon tho scene, Lang
was master of the situation.
"Who brought you here?" Louis
asked of Pearl. Between sobs Pearl
managed to tell her story. "Early
this morning father came here to noti-
fy Schiller that he was ready to prac-
tice—he never came back. I waited
and waited for his return; at last un-
able to bear the suspense, I came to
find him. Schiller would not tell me
where he was, and against my will he
forced me to remain here. Hp confined
me in a darkened room and has dared
to ask me to become his wife, again!"
This was too much for Louis. "You
cur!" he cried, and sprang upon Schil-
ler, bearing him to the floor in his
frenzy.
Louis, in laking this means of re-
dress, had simply robbed himself of
any legal right to impose punishment
— and at the same time laid himself
open to the law. Before Golden or
Rogers could Interfere, the guardsman
who, livid with chagrin and passion,
had gained his feet, hurled himself
upon our hero, striking him upon the
head with the butt end of his revol-
ver. Schiller rose to his feet, smiling.
"I have the advantage here," he said,
"and I will have his life for that
biow!"
"Schiller," said Golden, and he was
terribly in earnest, "you ure a greater
scoundrel than I supposed. From this
time on you and I are enemies! You
condemn Lang lo death for this, and
so help me, I'll make it more than
warm for you!"
"I do not fear your threats, Golden,
I am king here, and this is my palace.
This man—a convict—has assaulted
me, and as my right, I sentence him
to fight a duel to the death with
Whalen in the amphitheater to morrow
night! We will see who has the up-
per hand here!"
"So be it," said Golden, furiously,
and there was a look of resolve in his
face, "and in the meantime 1 will take
his wife under my care."
Rogers was rather taken back at
the unexpected turn of affairs. "Schil-
ler, where is Dr. Huntington?'' he
asked.
"At tho hospital," was the dogged
reply of Schiller, who now desired to
cultivate Rogers as a witness to the
assault.
"For how long?'' demanded Golden.
"Forever!" retorfed the king.
"If Dr. Huntington has consented to
do his duty, you have no right to fur-
ther punish him."
"That, will do, gentlemen," said the
revengeful man. "That is my busi-
ness. The people have granted me
the privilege of being revenged on
him, and I refuse to be balked by
you!"
"Then I will appeal to the people to
take away your arbitrary power!" said
Golden. "Rogers and I, as two of the
supreme councilmen, must pit our-
selves against you!"
"Do so! You dare to interfere with
me, and see what 1 will do with you!"
"Set the ball to rolling," was
Golden's retort. "Your downfall will
be on your own head!"
Without more ado the party left
the house. Golden took Pearl into his
charge. Rogers placed Lang under ar-
rest, taking Louis to his own home
Wilson alone slept in the haunted
house.
In the evening, sure enough, upon
the public bulletin boards, appeared
this notice:
"NOTICE!
"Be it known by all mon, that
whereas Louis Lang being duly con-
victed of assault with intent lo kill
the person of the king, he is hereby
sentenced to fight a duel to the death
with one Whalen, convicted of big-
amy, at the amphitheater, on Wednes-
day night. July 10. By order of
"SCHILLER. King."
