"Speak on! cried Ivan, without relaxing his Clasp upon the hand of Theresa von Lynar. Indeed, momentarily it became a grip. "The man went safely through at the Plassenburg gate. The passwords were correct. The man who challenged spoke with a Kernsberg accent! The Prince's grasp relaxed. "It is well," he said. "Now go to the captains and tell them to he in their posts about the city according to the plan the main assault to he delivered by the gate of the sea. At dawn I will be with you!" Alexis the Deacon saluted and went. The Prince rose ar.d came about the table nearer to Theresa von Lynar. She drew her breath qulekly and checked It as sharply with a kind of sob. Her left hand went to her side as naturally as a nun's to her rosary. But it was no rosary her fingers The action steadied her, touched. and she threw hack her head and smiled up at him as debonairly as though she had no care in the world. Ivan laid his hand on her shoulder, glad to see her so resolute. All In good time," he said, sitting down on a stool at her feet and taking her hand her right hand. The other lie did not see. Then he spoke confl dentially. (To he continued.) And then Theresa had spoken. Very Moiw i j Mistaken for a Butler. London society folk are much amused at a recent misadventure of who is a digniLord Newton-Butler- , fied man of rather stiff carriage and who is himself responsible for the story. It was a musical at home In nel gravia, to which the lord was invited, and. it being a rainy night, he wore a hat and a long waterproof coat over his evening dress. Tito family butler opened the door to him, looked puzled for a moment, and then asked tentatively. "Name, please? "Lord Newton Butler, wag th ret ply. ' 'ill most - "Oh, lord Newtons butler, are you? Come along, old chap, and have a drop of something In the housekeepers room. Theyve got a Job lot up stairs to iiiulit and your master ain't come yet. If you're looking for him."

"Excellency," he said, turning to his master, the Prince Is dead! His heart does not beaf. It Is the stroke! I warned you it. would come!" Prince Ivan strode hastily towards the body of Louis of Courtland. Surely not? he cried, in seeming astonishment. "This may prove very Inconvenient. Yet. after all, what does It matter? With your assistance, madam, the city Is ours. And then what matters dead prince or living prince? garrison in every fort, a squadron Df good Cossacks pricking across every In every village plain, a these are the best securities of princedom. But this Is like our good Louis. He never did anything at a right time all his life. Theresa stood on the other side of the dead man as the servitors lowered him for the Inspection of their lord. The weary, wrinkled face had been smoothed as with the passage of a hand. "I am glad he soke of his wife at the last, she murmured. And she added to herself, "This falls out well it relieves me of a necessity." "Spoken like a woman!" cried Prince Ivan, looking admiringly at her. "Pray forgive my bitter speech, and remember that I have borne long with this man! He turned to the servitors and directed them with a motion of his hand towards the back of the pavilion. "Drop the curtain," he said. And as the silken folds dropped heavily down the curtain fell upon the career and regality of Louis. Prince of Courtland. hereditary Defender ol the Holy See. The men did not hear him far. They placed him upon the boxes of powder for the Margraf's cannon, which for safety and dryness Ivan had hade them bring to his pavilion. The dead man lay in the dark, open-eyed- , as If staring at the circling shadows as the servitors moved athwart about the supper table, at which a woman sat eating and drinking with her enemy. d nd , Pr Be-- mpanys , Ian1?1 withVafM . he wire and Lovelo 'TFtcQafdtvdCxi by S.

The town of Rosebud Is enjoying one of those characteristic Nevada townslte booms. An inside lot that sold the first of the year for $50 now has passed hands at $1,500, and so on down the line. During the month of March between 23,000 and 24,000 tons of ore were treated at the milling plant of the Newhouse Mines ft Smelters company, while 550 tons of first class ore was sent direct to the smelters. All men have been withdrawn from the underground workings in the Homestake mine, at Lead S. D., la consequence of the presence of carbon dioxide gas, caused by the fire which has been burning In the mine for the past two weeks. While it Is not known Just how extensively the Standard Oil company has Invested its millions In the gold fields of Nevada, that this great corporation has made several purchases and that considerable money 4s now being spent In exploration work Is an open secret all through Nevada and Utah. After weeks of prepartlon, the Ely mining and stock exchange opened its doors on April 1. The pit was fairly well crowded with members of the exchange and considerable business was transacted. Only local stocks were traded In, but negotiations are on foot to post Goldfield stock on this exchange. Rosebud will not have trouble over the wage scale for miners. Notwithstanding a few unreliable reports which have been sent out to the effect that the miners of this camp had made demands which the operators would not agree to, there Is entire harmony between the operators and the miners. The annual report of the Utah Consolidated Mining company for the year ended December 31, 190G, shows net profits for the year of $2,835,009, against $1,887,385 In the previous year. This is equivalent to $9.45 per share, against $6.29 a share In 1905. A total in dividends of $1,650,000, or $5.50 a share, was declared. The Amerlean Smelting and Refining company will close It fiscal year April 30, aud It Is stated here that net earnings will run close to $15,0u0.-00Including the equity In the earnings of subsidiary or rontrolled companies. The statement may this year show the profit derived from the sale of United Lend company stock.
