explained tliut he had come to Amer-
ica to confer with Mr. Andrew Car-
negie and Mr John D. Rockefeller,
to Induce them if possible to pur-
chase the entire estate upon condi-
tion that li‘t cares, which will in-
clude the homestead, the lodge anil
the burial place of Tolstoy, lie set
apart for an international pack, to
be administered by the representa-
tives of all nations. If the plan is
t arried out, he said, the various na-
tions will be asked to erect penna-
wat memorials. It is the desire of
the family that the estate shall not
become the property of the Russian
government, which il is said, hopes
to gain possession of the land for
the establishment of a national Inu-
seum. If the estate he acquired by an
American, it is said, the Countess
Alexandra, Count Tolstoy's daughter,
who inherited her father’s literary
collection, including unpublished
novels and dramas, will donate these
writings, said to Tie valued at
uuo.Otiti. to a library to be erected
by one of the nations as a memorial
to 'her father. The estate comprises
some 750 acres, all of which are of-
fered for sale here with the under-
standing that tan acres bo set apart
for ttiirdnteruational Tolstoy park,
university and peace memorial._The
public does not know yet how' Mr.
Carnegie or Mr. Rockefeller will re-
spond to the proposition. This pro-
ject of an international peace memo-
rial would seem timely and beautiful
and in harmony with the spirit and
life of Count Tolstoy ami with tl)e
spirit of the age, and resembling the
pietwre the Psalmist saw:
“Behold, how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity!''—Christian Her-
ald, New York.

To the Democrat:
I am simply writinfo to express
my hearty approval of the editorial
entitled "We Are Asleep,” conlained
in your issue of Jan. 11th Wake
thou that sleesiest is meant for citit
as well as for individuals and so
long as Sherman thinks she can grow
and prosper without a commercial
organization headed by a secretary,
a hustler and a man wlio kno-wa his
job anil how to look after the city’s
interest, she will he asleep.
On last week we had the finest
Agricultural meeting ever held in
Sherman. There was nobody to pre-
pare a place for this meeting, no one
to advertise it anil no one to gather
the people to hear tlieso eminent
speakers anil it appears to me that
there is nothing left for them to do
except to go over the state telling
what a dead towli Sherman is, for
they certainly it und the city usleep.

■John E. Kern, democrat, has been
chosen to succeed Beveridge as sen-
ator from Indiana. Kern's name
was on the election ballot last No-
vember and th'e Hosier state now
has two democrats in the United
States senate, Ben Shively being the
other member. Kern was beaten
for the plaoe two years ago. Bever-
idge, has been in tlie seriate since
1899 and has been a brilliant niem-
' ber.

The inaugural ceremonies were
had at Austin without a hitch or
slipping of a cog. Every one knew
his part and performed it accord-
ing to the rules. Although the late
and the new governor have been
political opponents, they were chum-
my, dignified and considerate in ev-
ery act. The capitol was crowded
and the gayeties of the day were
prolonged into the night will; the
accustomed ball.

Come time since a note of alarm
came out of the national capital that
Congressman Randell was to be re-
placed by some other man on the
ways and means committee, because
of his convictions on the tariff and
that a protection democrat would
likely get the place. In the days of,
Sam Randall such a possibility as a
protection democrat was unheard of
until 'tlie Randall theory was an-
nounced and lie found company only
by voting with the republican side
of congress. The iron barofts of
Pennsylvania knew lie was saf“
and sent him. to congress for a long
time. Protection democrats are
now quite numerous and they are
willing to surrender the democratic,
failh they have had in national re-
generation and Jeffersonian princi-
ples and be a party to local and in-
cidental protection, which is just as
far wrong in Texas as it is in Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania. Randell
may be set out for the new brand of
democrat but lie will be found fight-
ing for the same' principles old line
democrats have stood for in tlie
years that have gone.
William A. Nash; who has become
a partner in the great, banking
firm of J. P. Morgan and Company,
was born in Hudson, N. Y., Jan. IS,
1S40. He started his business career
as a messenger boy in the Corn Ex-
change Bank in New York City and
rose in the service until he became
president of the institution in 1S83.
He was made president; of the New
York Clearing House Association in
1895, and was one of the committee
that bought the land and directed
{he construction of the new Clearing
House. In the financial flurry of
1907, as well as in that of 1893, his
activities in the Clearing House As-
sociation aided very much in the
restoration of public confidence. Mr.
Nash is probably best known as the
father of the brand!) bank idea and
tlie Corn Exchange bank under his
direction as president was the first
to establish branches after the law
to permit them was passed.
The pecan industry in Texas is
becoming colossal in proportions, is
the statement of the. state Commer-
cial Secretaries’ statistician.^ During
1.910 there were 900 car loads ot
20,000,000 pounds of pecans produc-
ed in the United States and of this
amount Texas produced *504 car
loads or 50 per cent: The finest nat-
ural pecan orchards in the world
are in Texas and are confined to no
one section of the state. From tlie,
Rio Grande to tlie Sabine and from
tlie Red River to the gulf these
trees are to be found in abundance
wherever there are streams of water.
While tho pecan industry is firmly
established thero is still wide room
for improvement and a few more
years will probably seo tlxls Industry
developed to Its fulleet. extent. The
Texas pecan has gained a place on
the market alongside the Elberta
peach.

Quite a number of the leading
democrats of the country met in
Baltimore yesterday to celebrate the
November election victory. The tar-
iff anjl its revision was the leading
issue discussed. Baltimore received
a good boost as the place to hold
the next national convention.

Tar on English Rosdi.
The county survey >rx in England
have reported that the tarring of
roads lias resulted In a saving of 2ti
to 25 per cent of (lie cost of tlie road
maintenance. The average cost of
spraying with tar Is $105 per mile.
Experienced men say that it pays to
spend this much for tarring the roads
that cost $750 to $1,000 pet tulle a
year for maintenance. Nothing more
satisfactory than tar has been found.
Two methods are used in applying it.
If the road is resurfaced tlie material
is previously saturated with tar: On
roads that are not used too much such
treatment will last live or six years.
Tho other system is to spread hot
tar in tlie surface, and this has proved
to be more than a dust protector. It

CHATTER XVI.
’ I 1IIE room in the Fourth National
| bank of Springfield. 111., in
which the new vault had been
* constructed, was a large, som-
ber inclosure, with a door at one side,
opening from, the assistant cashier’s
otflcc,, and one directly opposite, which
led to n narrow hallway opening into
the main hall.
Along this narrow hallway were
doors opening into tire offices of vu
rious officials of the bank. The vaults
in which were kept tlie currency and
negotiable papers, bonds, stocks, notes,
etc., were on the floor below, and tlie
new vault built against the wall at
tbe rear of the room was designed as
a receptncle for the bunk's books of
account Therefore It bad a larger ih
terlor than an ordinary vault, anil as
the shelves had not yet been built in
there were several feet of free space
Inside, which would be occupied by
books and records later on.
The huge steel ribbed door bad been
left invitingly open by the workmen
engaged In adding tbe finishing touch-
es. and consequently it afforded an un-
equnlod source of delight to Bobby
and Kitty, whose active imaginations
readily converted the Interior of the
vault Into the cave of daring smug-
glers who, presumably gone on a des-
perate enterprise, had lefrlfeserted their
seeret cavern and tbe precious con-
traband articles which, Bobby assured
Kitty, wore surely to be found there-
in. So what was there for a high spir-
ited little girl to do. when her brother,
who never failed at asserting bis su-
periority over a mere girl and tlie
superiority of the “men folk” In gen-
eral, Insisted that slie go first into the
yawning blackness of the big safe?
Surely she must maintain tbe tradi-
tions of the fearlessness of her sex ns
she knew them and “take the dare”
which Bobby forced upon her.
Slowly into the steel bound shadows
she went, her waxen faced dolly
clutched tightly against her throbbing
bosom—yet in she went. Suddenly the
huge door scraped shut All was black-
ness. As she screnmod In her fright
sbe heard the click of tlie metal bars
as Bobby playfully turned the han-
dles. Then all was silent, save for
the moans of the little girl as she lurch-
ed blindly toward tlie door of the safe
and scratched the metal thicknesses
with her tiny nails. —
The dolly fell to the floor, the ends
of the soft little fingers began to bleed
from frenzied coutact with the bars
that ribbed the Interior of the safe
door, and after a few moments tbe
wee girl’s form sank limply to tlie bot-
tom of the vault, where she gasped
convulsively to breathe in the air that
was gradually losing Its life support-
ing qualities. Not many minutes
would elapse ere she had consumed all
the precious oxygen iu the suffocating
interior of the necessarily air tight
vault.
*••*•,*
■■ As Jimmy Valentine dashed into the
vault room he cried to Red Flanagan,
who was at his heels:
“Go get one of the clerks to run for
some sandpaper. Pumice stone is too
soft for tills job. My fingers are not
In shape for a trick like this. Go!
Run!”
Red turned and darted away on, his
urgent errand. Well ho knew just how
necessary It was for Jimmy Valentine
to have sandpaper to rescue Kitty if It
were true that the skin on his fingers
bad grown calloused or bad reuched
even Its natural thickness.
Jimmy Valentine pulled manfully at
tbe bandies of the vault door. Per-
haps, after all, tlie combination hud
not been turned and only the door’s
weight held It In place. But the metal
barrier would not move. He pressed
his ear to the hairlike crack. He
heard the sound as of a little body
falling’to the floor and tbe faint moans
of the prisoner calling, “Bobby, Bobby.
Bobby!"
Valentine bent over tbe combination,
peered sharply at It. then begun to
twirl the cylinders gently. Around
and then back lie turned tbe knob
No; it was of no use. Nothing could
be done until the sandpa|ier arrived.
His fingers had lost their sensitiveness
anc hence their cunulng. and In the
meantime Valentine well knew the
prisoner was consuming whatever of
tbe priceless air that remained.
The door leading from his office
swung open, and again Red Flanagan
darted in. lie flung himself on the
vault room floor directly below Val-
entine’s knees and held his ear close
to the crack of the sufe door.
“Think you can make it, Jimmy?”
he gasped.
“Guess so; never failed on a lock
like this. Why, In God's name, don’t
that fool come with that sandpaper?”
Valentine was desperate a't the delay.
“He’s gone to a—here he Is!" cried
Red as he heard hurrying footsteps In
tbe assistant cashier's office. Red
jumped to his feet and out Into Val-
entine’s room. He seized the roll of
sandpaper from tbe messenger's
hands.
“Wbat are you going to do with ItT*
asked the Inquisitive clerk
Red shored him away and darted
back toward tire vault room
“None of your business.” he cried,
“and keep out of here.”
"Give It hire What Is If?" exclaim
*1 Valentine as Red.ran to him.
•No 4.”
“That's l*e«t Is tlie bank empty?'
“Yes. thank Goil. Mr lame has
gone. There's no one here to pits'
wltst we're doin’--and even ft there
ira* we'd Just naternPy have to go
through with it-for that gir Kitty” —
"Shut up."' cried Valentine nervous
ly. lie bent over and rubbed his fin
gel's briskly across the gritty surface
of one of the sheets of sandpaper
which Red had lunch'd him rublretl
until the white tt<—-> li showed pink
Red stood and winched him breath
lessly. The sound of Valentine's fin
gers scraping buck and for:li across
the face of tile sandpaper seemed “to
