Under the caption, "The Union Pa-
cific Railroad and Louisiana Terri-
tory," the new World's Fair folder is-
sued by the advertising department of
the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
Interesting facts:
"While the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad, its trials and
triumphs, are a part of the history of
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad In the develop-
ment of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up of this vast domain it has been one
of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula-
tion of the region was estimated at
20,000. Up to the inception of the
Union Pacific (in 1860) it had In-
creased to 3,233,529. In 1900 It num-
bered over 13,000,000 of Inhabitants.
In this wonderful growth, with Its stu-
pendous Increase in all the many-sided
phases of commercial, material and
Intellectual prosperity, the Union Pa-
cific—as a glance at the map will
show—has had a conspicuous share.
It has opened vast regions of fertile
country to settlers, and brought great
areas of an unknown and unproduc-
tive wilderness Into close communion
with metropolitan centers and mar-
kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham-
lets, through its efforts, have sprung
up in every direction.
It may be of interest to know that
the total number of manufacturing
plants, and the value ef their outputs,
combined with that of the national
products as reported In the census of
1900, give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region of J3,500,000,000
annually, or 223 times the original pur-
chase price. The same census reports
(1900) also show the total population
to be 13,343,255, of which 8,303.096 in-
habitants are living in the states and
territories reached by the Union Pa-
cific. On the 1900 census figures, it Is
estimated that the true wealth of the
Louisiana purchase can be stated at
about $13,051,868,359, of which |9,360,-
621,387 Is represented In the state*
reached by this treat railroad."
CHAPTER I—Ccr.i.nued.
"They were Fridtjof"s." She spc^e
his narre very softly. ""I found them
hanging on the chamber wall. In the
night the men began to entertain
:hemseiTes with singing, and it could
be heard that they were getting drank.
I waited till they were ail still, and
then ( crept into the women's room,
and found the bondmaids huddled in
their beds. I got through the guard-
room, where the Englishmen were
snoring so loud that they would .not
have heard if I had stamped. In a
niche in the wall outside 1 found Alm-
st"in, the steward, hiding, full cf
fear. I made him follow me out of the
postern and around to the gate where
—my father—and—Fridtjof—" Her
voice broke, but she struggled on.
The English dogs had left them
there, and Fridtjofs sword was in his
hand. There was a smile on his lips.
I made Almstein dig two graves. I
kissed Fridtjofs mouth—and—ar.d 1
laid—my father's cioak—over—over
his—face."
It was useless trying to eo on; a
deep sob shut off her voice and threat-
ened to rend her when she tried to
hold it back. Sister Wynfreda strove
with gentle arms to draw her down
upon her breast.
"Suffer the tears to come, my daugh-
she urged her tenderly, "or
■loner or later they must."
"They shall not!" Randalin cried
brokenly. "They shall not! Am I a
weak-minded English woman that I
should shed tears because my kindred
are murdered? I will shed blood to
avenge taem; that is befitting a
Danish j;Irl. I will not weep—as
though there were shame to wash
out! I vill not weep."
The older woman shrank a little. To
ears attuned to the silence of the
grave, such an outburst was little less
than terrifying; she was at a loss
how to soothe the girl. To gain a

mouths have told of him. 1 know him
from my father's lips. No man on the
island is so true as he. or so generous
to those who ask of him. He is the
higher t-minded man in the world."
My daughter, my daughter, shake
off this sleep of your wits, I entreat
you! The men you are trusting in
are dreams which you have dreamed
in the safety of your father's arms.
They among whom you are going are
barbarians—yea, devils! It were
even better had you married the son
of Leofwine. Think you I know noth-
ing of the Pagans, that you set my
words at naught? Who, but Danish-
men laid low these walls and slaugh-
ered the holy nuns as lambs are torn

horrid wickcdness? You think a nun

came on my face? Three times, with
my own hands, I pressed a red-hot
Iron there to destroy the beauty that
tllured—else had the Pagans dragged
me with them. Was I a coward?
Randalin's eyes v.'ire very wide. "It
seems to me that you were simple-
minded," she breathed. "Why did
you not thrust the iron in his face?"
But Sister Wynfreda's expression
changed so strangely that the girl
foresaw an attack along another line,
and hastened to forestall it "It is not
worth while to tell me further about
the matter. Do you not see that it is
by no means the same? I shall be a
Danish woman among Danish men.
I shall not be a captive, to be made a
drudge of and beaten. I shall be with
my own people, my own king. Let

"Do you know who I am?" she was asking urgently.
respite, she stole away and renewed
the wounded man's bandages.
After a moment Randalin rose and
followed, buckling her cloak as she
went.
"Since I am become this man's lord,
I think it is right for me to see how
he fares before I leave him," she ex-
plained.
"Before you leave him?" The form
in the faded robes turned inquiringly
toward the erect young figure in its
brave scarlet cloak. "What is it you
say, my child?"
But Randalin was bending low over
the green couch. "Do you know who
I am?" she was asking urgently of the
woodward. "Fix your eyes on me and
try to gather together your wits."
Slowly the man's wandering gaze
focused itself; a silly laugh welled
up In his throat
"It would be no strange wonder if
I did not," he chuckled. "Odin has
changed you greatly; your face was
never so beautiful. But this once you
cannot trick me, Fridtjof Frodesson."
There came a time when this mis-
take was a source of some comfort to
Randalin. Frode's daughter; but now
she stirred impatiently.
Sister Wynfreda's hand fell upon
the girl's arm. "Disquiet yourself no
further," she whispered. "It is use-
less and to no end. Come this way,
where he cannot hear our voices, and
tell me what moves you to speak of
leaving. Is it not your Intention to
creep in with us?"
As she yielded reluctantly to the
pressure, Randalin even showed sur-
prise at the question. "By no means.
My errand hither was only to ask for
bread. I go direct to the Danish
camp to get Justice from King Ca-
nute."
us end this talk. Give me the bread
and let me go. The sun is getting
high."
She glanced at it as she spoke, and
found it so much higher than she
realized that her haste increased.
Clutching at her belt, her arm, her
cloak, the nun strove desperately to
detain her. "Randalin! Listen! Alas
how you grieve me by talking after
this manner! Wait, you do not un-
derstand. It is not their cruelty I
fear for you. Child, listen! It is not
their blows—"
But Randalin had wrenched herself
free. "Oh, fear, fear, fear!" she cried
impatiently. "Fear your enemies;
fear your friends; fear your shadow!
Old women are afraid of everything!
No, no, do not look at me like that; I
do not mean to behave badly toward
you. but it will become a great mis-
fortune to me if I am hindered; it
will, in truth. See now; I will kiss
you—here—where your cheek Is soft-
est. I cannot allow you to take hold
of my cloak again. There! Now lay
your hands upon my head, as you do
with the children when you wish them
good luck."
Because there was nothing else to
do, and because the thought of doing
this gave her some comfort, Sister
Wynfreda complied.
"God guard you, my fledgeling," she
whispered over and over. "My pray
ers be as a wall around you. My love
go with you as a warm band in your
loneliness. God keep you In safety
my most beloved daughter!"
CHAPTER II.
Where War-Dogs Kennel.
This morning there were but few
tr T W upon the Watllng street
South of thr highway the land was
held by English farmers, who would
naturally remain under cover while
a Danish host was in the neighbor-
hoot.: while north of the great divid-
ing line lay Danish freeholds whose
masters might be equally likely to see
the prudence of being in their watch-
towers when the E^rli^h allies were
passing. Barrel across by the shad-
ows of its mighty trees, the great roa/
stretched away mile after mile in cool
emptiness. At rare in;- rvals, a mount-
ed messenger clattered over the
tones, his hand upon his weapon, his
eyes rolling sharply in a keen watch
of the thicket on either side. Still
more rareiy, foraging parties swept
through the morning stillness, lowing
cows pricked to a sharp trot before
them, and squawking fowls slung over
their broad shoulders.
On they came. When they caught
sight of a sprig of a boy drawn up be-
side the way with hlB hand resting
sternly on his knife, they sent up a
shout of boisterous merriment. The
blood roared so leudly in Randalin's
cars that she could not understand
what they said. She Jerk' 1 her horse's
head toward the frees and drove her
spur deep into his side. Only as he
leaped forward and they swept past
ber, shouting, did the words reach
home.
"Look at the warrior, comrades!"
'Hail, Berserker!" "Scamper, cu;j, or
your nurse will catch you!" "Tie
some of your hair on your chin, little
one!"
As the sound of hoof-beats died
away, and the nag settled back to his
steady Jog-trot, the girl unclenched
her hands and drew a long breath.
"Though it seems a strange wonder
that they shouid not know me for a
woman, I think I need give myself no
further uneasiness. It must be that
I am very like Fridtjof in looks. It
may be that It would not be unadvis-
able now for me to ask advice of the
next person how I can come to the
camp."
The asking had become tit matter
of necessity by the time she found
any one capable of answering the
question. Three foreign merchants
whom she overtook near noon could
give her no information, and she cov-
ered the next five miles without see-
ing a living creature; then it was only
a beggar, who crawled out of the
bushes to offer to sell the child be-
side him for a crust of bread. The
petition brought back to Randalin he>
own famished condition so sharply
that her answer was unnecessarily
petulant, and the man disappeared
before the question could even be put
to him. Two miles more, and nothing
was in front of her but a flock of rag-
ged blackbirds circling over a tram-
pled wheat-field. Already the sun's
round chin rested on the crest of the
farthest hill. In desperation, she
turned aside and galloped after a
mailed horseman who was trotting
down a clover-sweet lane with a rat-
tle and clank that frightened the rob-
ins from the hedges. He reined in
with a guffaw when he raw what met-
tle of blade it was that had acosted
him.
"Is it your Intention to Join the
army?' he inquired. "Canute will con-
sider himself in great luck."
"I am desirous to—to tell him some-
thing," Red Cloak faltered.
His grin vanishing, the man lean-
ed forward alertly. "It is war news?
Of Edric Jarl's men?"
Before her tongue could move, Ran-
dalin's surprised face had answered.
The warrior smote his thigh resound-
ingly.
"You will be able to tell us tidings
wo wish to know. Since the fight this
morning we have been allowed to do
no more than growl at the English
dogs across the plain, because it was
held unadvlsable to make an onset
until the Jarl's men should increase
our strength. It is to be hoped that
they are not far behind?"
"You make a mistake," Randalin be-
gan hesitatingly. "My news does not
i concern the doings of Edric Jarl, but
the actions of his man Norman—"
A blow across her lips silenced her.
"Hold your tongue until you come
in to the Chief," the man admonished
her, with good-humored severity.
"Have you not learned that babbling
turns to ill, you sprouting twig? And
waste no more time upon the road,
either. Yonder is your shortest way
—up that lane between the barley.
When you come to a burned barn, do
you turn to the left and ride straight
toward the woods; it should happen
that an old beech stock stands where
you come out. Take then the path
that winds up-hill, and it will bring
you to the war booths before you can
open your foolish mouth thrice. Trolls!
what a cub to send a message by!
But get along, now; you will suffer
from their temper If they think it
likely that you have kept them wait-
ing." He gave the horse a stinging
slap upon the flank, that sent him for-
ward like a shaft from a bow.

Expensive Picture Frame.
The most expensive pictur- frame
in the world is that of the "Madonna

is made of gold, ornamented with
pearls and Jewels, ana is valued at
$125,000.
Natural Gas.
Natural gas is used for cooking in ■
more than half a million homes and
more than four and a half million per-
sons use It as an llluminant, according
to the report of the Geological Sur-
vey. It is the fuel in 8,000 factories
and supplies the world with lamp

Chromophone.
The "chromophone" was exhibited
recently to an invited audience in a
London theater. It combines the cin-
ematograph and gramophone. C a-
versations and vocal and instrumei. il
music, synchronized with the mc.e-
ments of the figures, accompany tue
pictures.
Smoking Match.
A smoking match recently amused
the public at Lille, Fiance. Fifty of
the hardest smokers of the district
sat down together to consume two
ounces of the strongest tobacco in
the shortest possible time. They used
clay pipes, and were helped by a big
jug of beer. The winner finished ia
a quarter of an hour.
Thought Vehicle.
That thought must have some defi-
nite vehicle, even when unexpressed,
most psychologists agree. That this
vehicle is the mental image of speech
has been asserted by.some, while oth-
ers believe that it may be also the
image of written language or some
special combination of images that is
neither of these.

Some grocers say they don't keep De-

stock on hand of othor brands containing
only 12 02. in a package, which they won't
be able to Sell first, because Defiance con-
tains 16 oz. for the s&mo money.
Do you want 16 oz. instead of 13 oz. for
