The chief of the administration was begun and the miserable site had been selected on the grounds of the Virginia Union University. No one enjoyed the outing more than the Pythian Cadets. Some of the officers carried two seats up there Saturday night and spent Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night there. They said they spent a fine time there. The Committee of Arrangements has been holding sessions every Thursday night at the Pythian Castle. The Committee on Decorations had Pythian flags and bunting on sale at the Castle and many, patronized them. Delegates to the annual session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythits, continued to arrive in this city during Tuesday and Wednesday.

M., Wednesday morning, Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., presented a lengthy report and read the name. Mayor George Almale entered slightly after 11 A. M. and delivered an address, having been introduced in highly complimentary language by the Grand Chancellor. His address was practical and along lines for the material and intellectual lines. When he concluded, a Chautauqua salute was tendered him after which Rev. R. G. Adams, of Farmville, made a ringing response. The committee, Col. Thomas M. Crump and W. D. J. Chavers, accompanied him to the door. A recess was taken at 1 o'clock until 2 o'clock, when the body reassembled, when the Grand Chancellor returned with Hon. Ernest Lyon, Hon. Harry S. Cummings and J. Thomas Newcome, Esq. The Grand Lodge was convened, after which the family department, known as the Grand Chancellor, came up from the lecture room below, and short ad- dresses were delivered by the vili- tora and William M. Reid, Esq. The exercises were interesting. At the conclusion a recess was taken until 9 A. M. Thursday. The public meeting at the City Auditorium was a grand success. Music was rendered by the Second Baptist Church Choir, Col. Thomas M. Crump, leader. The Scriptured were read by Rev. W. T. Johnson. D. D. Prayer was offered by Rev. T. H. White, D. D. A selection was rendered by the Sabbath Gloes Club. Hon. Ernest Lyon, LL. D., D. D., Council General from the Republic of Liberia, Africa and daily accredited to this country, delivered one of the oldest addresses ever heard in the City Auditorium. He discussed the evolution of the colored man in this country from the time of his handing here down to the present time. He made numerous pioneering progresses in industrial, industrial and fraternal lines. He gave the number of people engaged in various vocations, and placed the farm productions at $250,000,000. He declared that while the colored people had come a long way, they had a much longer way still, to go. He was enthusiastic over the progress made by the race and cited specific instances of the same. He declared that three Virginians were in the public eye at the present time and commanded the attention of the public. One was Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, a Virginian, who was handling with consummate skill the great question confronting the nation. The other was John Skelton Williams, who as Comptroller of the Currency, a Virginian, was a member of the Federal Reserve Board; and the third one was the redoubtable John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, a Virginian, who held in hands, the peace and harmony of the Pythian world. The speaker then discussed the outlook and counselled his hearers to accept competent leadership and encourage race pride. He spoke for nearly an hour and was raptuously applauded at the conclusion of his remarks. Hon. Harry S. Cummings, member of the Municipal Council of Baltimore, Maryland, spoke, but did not fail to emphasise the fact that Mr. Lyon was the "star" of the evening. Mr. Cummings, who made a profound impression at a previous meeting held here, was raptuously applauded as he proceeded to speak along the lines of racial program. He discussed the advantages and benefits of fraternal organizations and declared that all great movements proceeded from some cause, that ye foundation had to be laid and that some one must lay that foundation. He illustrated this by an acorn from which the sturdy oak grew. He concluded his remarks with a fervid and impressive recital of the poetic selection: "The strong. He spoke for half and hour and held his audience spell-bound to the close. It was 11 o'clock when J. Thomas Newsome, the brilliant lawyer and orator from Newport News, Va., was introduced by Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., Master of Ceremonies, who had assigned to the task of introducing all of the speakers. The audience had potion restraints, but in an insatiable way, he secured the attention of every one and held it to the show, being frequently interrupted by applause. The Second Baptist Church choir, Col. Thomas M. Crump, wader, again captivated the large audience with their dramatic musical selections. The applause which greeted this most popular organization showed that the body had won public favor and would easily keep it. The large Mason and Handmaid plane served to great advantage and the musical conditions were of the highest order. The Substant Gigs Club, under Leader Joseph Matthews, was a favorite. Attired in full dress suits with spartan short frock on a prominent feature the Club dug itself into popular lawyer fame who ensured agile and useful. Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr. ceded by the Knights of Lythian Municipal Band, Mrs. Monna Johnson, leader, which played many fine selections with communicate ability. What must be mild of Col. U. S. G. Patterson, that silver tuned songster from Lynchburg? Always popular, he was never more so than last Wednesday night, when he was enclosed again and again, as he became himself into public favor. Col. W. Henry Jones, on behalf of admirers, presented the Sabbath Glue Club with a box of flowers. Rev. A. S. Thomas, D. D., was to have announced the banishment, but he had left the rostrum, and Rev. Thomas H. Briggs performed that ceremony. The stage was decorated with palms, bunting and K. of P. flags. It presented a fine appearance and the committee was complimented highly upon the work done. The clanging street car gongs, the tooling of automobile horns, the rolling of rubber tired cartriages, told the story that the night's entertainment was over, and the delighted audience sought their homes, expressing their satisfaction over the evening's entertainment. The piano used was loaned by the Corley Company. FOURTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF PATRICIAR. U. O. of O. F. The fourteenth anniversary of Patrichar, U. O. of O. F., was held Sunday, June 14th, at Mt.

NE'ER-DO-WELL A Romance of the Panama Canal BY REX BEACH SYNOPSIS. Kirk Anthony, son of a rich man, with college friends, gets into a fracture in a New York resort. A detective is hurt. Jefferson Locks insinuates himself into the college man's party. Locka, aided by Kirk's friend Higgins, who thinks it a joke, drugs Kirk and puts a bound ship on a bound ship for Colon. Kirk is on the passenger list as Locka. "Broke" and without baggage, aboard the ship Kirk makes the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt. Cortlandt is in the American diplomatic service and is going to Panama on a mission. In Colon Kirk, as the son of a big railroad man, is taken up by Weeka, American consul. Kirk's father repudiates him, and Weeks meets him out as an impostor. Kirk meets Allan, a Jamaican negro canal worker out of a job. The two are arrested by Colon police for helping to put out a fire. Kirk and Allan are treated brutally in a Colon jail by young Alfaroes, commanded by the British consul, but Weeka refuses to aid Kirk. Mrs. Cortlandt gets a phone call. Mrs. Cortlandt obtains Kirk's release by using influence with Colonel Jolem, head of the canal. The Cortlandts are inviting to make Alfaira's father president of Panama. Kirk's father casts him off finally, and Mrs. Cortlandt demands for his position on the Panama railroad under Ranneh, master, of transportation. The girl tells him her name is "Chiquita." He learns that that means only "Little one." Kirk begins his work. Mrs. Cortlandt has learned who Jefferson Locke is. Locke (real name Weilar) is a swindler and has disappeared. His description fits Kirk. The latter tries in vain in Panama something of Chiquita and meets Alfaira again. The Cortlandts and Kirk plan a picnic on the island of Taboga, near Panama. Cortlandt is detained and his wife and Kirk are marooned on the island. Kirk kisses Mrs. Cortlandt and is then abashed to think he has violated Cortlandt's trust in him. Cortlandt alarmed Kirk from the island. In the country near Panama Kirk meets a charming Spanish girl. CHAPTER XII. The Path That Led Nowhere. WHEN "Senor Antonio" awoke the next morning he lay for an instant striving to recall what it was that had haunted his sleeping hours, what great event awaited him. Then as it rushed through his mind he leaped out of bed. This was tomorrow! But the afternoon was still a long way off, and he must be content to dream until the hour came. It was the hottest part of the day when he set out, gun on arm, yet he never thought of the discomfort. After skirting the city he awoke into the fine macadam road that had brought him home the night before, and much sooner than he expected he arrived at the little path that led into the forest. As upon the previous day, he broke into the glade before he suspected its presence. There was the tree from which she had called to him, yonder the bench where they and set together. Of course he was too early. He wanted to be in order not to miss an instant of her company, so he seated himself and dreamed about her. The minutes dragged, the jungle drowned. An hour passed. Why didn't she come? A sudden apprehension overtook him, which grew and grew as the afternoon wore away. It was a very miserable young man who wandered out through the fragrant path as the first evening shadow settled and beat his dejected steps toward the city. Evidently something had occurred to prevent her keeping her tryst, but he determined to return on the morrow and then if she did not come to follow that other path right up to her house, which must be near the pool. He would risk everything for a word with her. He wondered if she had stayed away purposefully to test him, and the thought gave him a thrill. If so she would soon learn that he was in earnest. He received to go hunting earlier hereafter and give the whole day to it. Meanwhile he would make cautious inquiries. It was considerably after dark when he reached the hotel, and his friend had dined, but he encountered Mr. Cortlandt later. If Birk's husband suspected anything of what had occurred a night or two ago, his countance gave no sign of it. For some reason or other Kirk had not been troubled in the slightest by the thought that Cortlandt might be told. He could not imagine Birk making him the conduct of her escaped feelings. Borden, would such a strangely impassioned person 'smelt any little indication in which he wrote might choose to indulge? Kirk did not know. The man was a pume to him. Cortlandt's rode was thoroughly noncommunal as he inquired: "Where have you been keeping yourself? "I've been hunting to kill time." "By the way," continued the other, "your friend Alain has been bedding him. Imploring her to use his influence to get him a position. He has set his heart upon going to work with "He is becoming a positive nuisance; I can't get rid of him." "I never saw such hero worship." "Oh, all niggers are hysterical." "Let me give you a bit of advice. Anthony. Remember, there are no 'niggers' and 'whites' in this country—they are both about equal. The president of the republic is a black man, and a very good one too." "That reminds me. I hear he is to be succeeded by the father of my friend, Alfaro." Cortlandt hesitated. "General Alfaro is a candidate. He is a very strong man, but—" "I am glad there is a 'but.'" "It isn't settled, by any means. The successful candidate will need the support of our government." "I suppose the Alfresca family is one of the first settlers—Mayflower stock?" "Oh, worse than that. The name runs back to Balboa's time." "What are some of the other leading families?" Kirk artfully inquired. "There are a number. The Martinesses, the Moras, the Garavels—I couldn't name them all. They are very people too." "Do you know the Chiquitas?" Cortlandt's face relaxed in an involuntary smile. "There is no such family. Who has been teaching you Spanish?" "Really, isn't there?" "Chiquita' means, 'very small', 'little one', 'little girl' or something like that. It isn't a family name. It's a term of endearment usually. What made you take it for a proper name?" "A—little girl told me." "Oh, naturally. All children are Chiquitas' or 'Chiquitos'—everything, in fact, that is a pet." Kirk felt somewhat uncomfortable under the older man's gaze of quiet amusement. "But these other families," he went on in some confusion. "I mean the ones like those you just mentioned, they sometimes intermarry with Americans, don't they?" "No, not the better class. There have been a few instances, I believe, but for the most part they keep to themselves." "How would a fellow set about meeting the nice people?" "He wouldn't. He would probably live here indefinitely and never see the inside of a Panamanian house." "But there must be some way," the young man exclaimed in desperation. "There must be dances, parties"—"Of course, but Americans are not invited. The men are easy to get acquainted with, charming, courteous, gentlemanly, but I dare say you will leave Panama without so much as meeting their wives or sisters. But why this consuming curiosity? Has some senoria struck your fancy? In spite of his effort to appear unconcerned Kirk felt that he looked abominally self conscious. Without waiting for a reply Cortlandt continued to give him information, as if he enjoyed it. "I suppose one reason why so few Americans marry Panamanians is that our men like at least to get acquainted with their brides before marriage, and that is impossible in this country. A man never sees a girl alone, you know. When he calls to court her he wooes the whole family, who vote on him, so to speak." Kirk suddenly realised to the full how egregious his request to call must have appeared to the Spanish girl. What a fool he had been, to be sure! For a moment he lost himself in a contemplation of the difficulties so unexpectedly presented. He was brought to himself by the words: "Temorrow you will go to work." "What's that? He broke forth in a panic. "I can't go to work. tomorrow. I'm getting hunting." Cortlandt eyed him curiously. "I didn't say tomorrow. I said Runnels planned that he would be ready for you day after tomorrow. What is the matter, with you? Have you lost your head own shooting, or don't you cure to work?" "Oh, mother!" he said hastily. "I merely misunderstood you. Of course the sooner the better." "Yes, as you say, the sooner the better," said Curtland, with a shade of meaning. "Well, good night and good luck to you in your shooting." It was with much less self assurance that Kirk set out again on the next morning, for this was his last day of grief, and he suffered that unless he accomplished something definite it might be a considerable time before he could continue his quest. In view of what the girl had said regarding her engagement defies needed particularly dangerous. He handed the vicinity of the meeting place all the morning, but no one came, and a heavy shower at midday drove him into the palm thinned but for another. When it had passed he put an end to his indaction and badly took the other path. At least he would find out where she lived and who she was. But once again he was disappointed. The trail led out through the grove to the rain drummed pants, where it disappeared, and he kind or one nome he be new them, hid in foliage and all finding in the opposite direction. They stood near the crest of a hill tracing the road, and he realised that the pool might be the bathing place for the inmates of one or all of them. He went to all three, but nowhere did he see the girl or the Barbadian woman; nowhere did he receive an intelligible answer to his questions. Whether the girl had been playing with him or whether she had been prevented from keeping her word, was of little moment now. He loved her, and he intended to have her. He was detailed to Ride No. 2, which left Panama at 6.35, returning on No. 7, which arrived at 7 p.m. For a few days he made the run in company with the train collector, whose position he was destined to fill, and as the duties were by no means difficult, he quickly mastered them. He was glad of his new found independence, moreover, for, though it did not cancel his obligation to the Cortlandta, it made him feel it less keenly. Certainly he could not complain of a lack of incident in his new life. On his first trip to Colon and back he had nine disputes and two fights and threw one man off a record achievement, he was told, for a beginner. A further diversion was furnished by Allan, who appeared early in the morning and all but assaulted the gatenan, who refused to let him pass without a ticket. It took the entire station force to prevent him, from starting it for Colon as Kirk's guest. He considered it a matter of course that his friend should offer him the courteses of the road, and he went away at last, woefully disappointed, but not discharged. On the evening of that eventful day, instead of returning to his new quarters, Kirk proceeded to walk the streets in search of a certain face. He strolled through the plaza; he died in front of the most pretentious residences; he tramped wearily back and forth through dim lit, narrow streets, gaving up at windows and balconies, barking for the tone of a voice or the sound of a girl's laughter. But he was without the slightest success, and it was very late when he finally retired, to dream, as usual, of Chiquita. Several days passed, and he began to feel a little dull. He was making no progress in his quest, and he did feel the lack of congenial society. Then one evening there came a note from Edith Cortlandt briefly requesting him to come and see her. Promptly at 8 o'clock he presented himself. "I'm a laboring man now," he said as he stood before her, and I usually hold my cap in my hand and shuffle my feet when talking to ladies. I pray excuse my embarrassment." She did not respond to the lightness of his tone. Her glance seemed intended to warn him that she meant to be serious. "I suppose you are wondering why I sent for you. I've discovered who Jefferson Locke is." "No! Who is he? Kirk was instantly all attention. He had almost forgotten Locke. "His real name is Frank Wellar, and he is an abscessor. He was a bukker's clerk in St. Louis, and he made off with something like $0,000 in cash." "Good heavens!" and Anthony. "How did you find out?" "A bundle of New York papers. They came today." "Where they catch him?" "They haven't caught him. He has disappeared completely. That's the strangest part of it. Your detective didn't die after all. But I can't understand why the police haven't discovered your whereabouts. You left New York openly under the name of Locke"— "Perhaps it was so easy they overlooked it." He smiled ruefully. "I'd hate to be arrested just now when I'm getting to be such a good conductor." "Don't worry about that until the time comes. I'll get you the papers TOMMY Chased by an Unfeeling Man With a Club. later." He began to feel embarrassed. It seemed to be his fate to receive benefits as this woman's hand whether he willed it or not. "I must go now, but first I want to make you feel how grateful I am for your kindness and for your continued trust in me. I haven't deserved it. I know, but—" He turned an if to have, but stood her again as he heard her promise his name. He was surprised to see that there were tears in her eyes. "Kirk," she said, "you're an awfully good sort, and I can't stay angry with you." "You're tremendously good," he answered, really trustful. "I can't say anything except that I'll try to be someone is calling him in. He is telling me a half wording before they are ready. "What shall of it my good?" he said. "Now do all these things you have been doing this time. Now have you been put thing along with your work?" "All these except one morning when I overheard." In the days that followed, he used his very best to make good on his job. Every evening he had to himself he spent in search of the Spanish girl. Aside from his inability to find her and an occasional moment of migrating at the thought of Frank Weller, alas Jefferson Locks, Kirk had but one worry, and that was caused by Allan. Never a day passed that the wounded black boy did not fairly bound him with his attention; never a nightly journey down into the city that Allan did not either accompany him or, failing permission to do so, follow him at a safe distance. For a time Anthony rebelled at this exploitation, but the constant effort of refusal grew tiresome after awhile, especially as the Jamaican did just as he pleased anyhow, and Kirk ended by letting him have his way. He turned up regularly every day on Kirk's trains without money to pay his fare. Because really concerned least he should be accused of withholding fare. Kirk spoke to Runnels about Allan, explaining fully, whereupon a watch was set with the result that on the very next morning Allan was chased out of the railroad yards by an unfreeing man with a club. He was waiting when the train pulled in that evening, glued to the iron belt, his eyes showing as white in the gloom as his expensive grin of welcome. For several days this procedure was repeated with variations until the dreadful threat of arrest put an end to it. Allan had conceived a wholesome respect for Spigotty police, and for a few days thereafter Kirk was rid of him. Then one morning he appeared as usual in one of the forward coaches and proudly, triumphantly, displayed a ticket, exclaiming: "It is of no avail to prevent me, boast!" "That ticket is good only to Corosal the first station. You'll have to get off there." But when Corosal had been passed he found Allan still comfortably enclosed in his seat. "Now, how shall have fine visits today," the micro predicted warmly, and Kirk did not have the heart to eject him. At the other end of the line Allan repeated the process, and thereafter worked differently to amass sufficient money to say tickets from Panama to Corosal and from Colon to Mount Hope, saying with splendid faith upon his friend to protect him once he penetrated past the lynx eyed gateman. Runnels accepted Kirk's explanation, and so far exceeded his authority as to make no objection. Allan, therefore, managed to spend about half his time in company with the object of his adoration. Although the master of transportation never referred to his conversation with Kirk on the occasion of their trip through Colebra cut, he watched his new subordinate carefully, and he felt his instinctive liking for him increase. It gave Runnels pleasure to see how he attended to his work once he had settled down to it. Accordingly, it afforded him an unpleasant surprise when he received a printed letter from a St. Louis detective agency relative to one Frank Wellar, alias Jefferson Locke (last seen in New York city Nov. 25) and offering a substantial reward, for information leading to his arrest. The communication reached Runnels through the usual channel, copies having been distributed to the heads of various departments. It was the description that caught his attention: "White; age, twenty-eight years; occupation, clerk; eye, bluish gray; hair, light, shading upon yellow; complexion, fair; height, six feet; weight, 190 pounds. No prominent scars or marks, so far as known, but very particular as to personal appearance and considered a good athlete, having been captain of U. of K. football team." There was but one man in Runnels' department whose appearance tailed with all this. Nevertheless he held the letter on his desk and did nothing for a time except to question his new collector upon the first occasion. The result was not at all reassuring. A few days later, chancing to encounter John Weeks on his way across the hallmur, he recalled Kirk's mention of his first experience at Colon. "Anthony? Oh, yes," whispered the firt man. "I see you've get him at work. There's something about him I don't understand. Either he's on the level or he's got the nerve of a burglar." "How so?" "Well, I know he isn't what he claims to be. I have proof. He's no more Darwin K. Anthony's son than" "Darwin K. Anthony" "exclaimed the railroad man, in amusement. "Did he claim that?" "He did, and he" - The speaker checked himself with admirable diplomatic caution. "Say, he's taught me one thing, and that is that it doesn't pay to buy, into other people's business. I played him to lose, and he won, and I got into a fine mess over it. Alfarnas lost his job for arresting him." "You'll get your money. Anthony told me he hold square up on pay day." Weeks smoothed at this. "Why, I've got it already. I've been paid. Mrs. Cortlandt sent me her check." He winked one red eye in a manner that set Runnels to thinking deeply. CHAPTER XIII 08. A few days after this conspiration, the master of transportation was found on to what course he should pursue. In letters and he did nothing, and the letter from St. Louis was paramount and easy. There were several reasons for this action. For one thing, he was a well-known man and could afford to take his job. What infuriated I am glad to hear you and the satisfaction of the people with whom you have been in touch the past year with the pleasure of the pleasure of the people with whom it is so warm with a sense of warmth that so hard to resist, and the two warm feelings and intimacy to commend himself in his dissatisfaction by a life inspired by truth. He was impressed by your intelligence and gave the substance promptly returned. The joint letter that accompanied it brought him a flash of discomfort. What the doctor had made him, Cordismit do that? For a time he was indulged whether to be affenced at her conduct or gratified, and he had not settled the matter to his satisfaction when he called upon her that evening. "Weeks wrote me you had squared my account with him," he said awkwardly. "I tremendously obliged, of course, and—I'll give this to you instead of him." He offered her the envelope with his pay inclosed. "Don't be ally, Kirk," she said in a matter of fact tone. "I didn't wish Weeks to have any opportunity to talk. You need this money and I don't." "Perhaps I should have offered it to Mr. Cortlandt." "Stephen knows nothing about the Weeks affair. If you choose to regard my little favor as a debt, however, please let it run on until you are better able to pay." But Anthony remained inflexible, and at last she accepted his proffer with some impatience. "You are the most foolish person I ever knew," she remarked. "You have the most disappointing way of receiving favors. I had a decent position for you, but you would go to collecting fares. I hope you have had enough of it by now and are ready to take something worth while." "Not until it comes naturally, No hop, skip and jump for mine." Elith sighed. "It is terribly dull for me here at present," she said. "Mr. Cortlandt is very busy; I have no one to talk to, no one to amuse me. Why, I've scarcely seen you since you went to work. Will you come to the dance tomorrow night?" He shook his bead. "The music is good. You will meet some nice people. If you remember, one of your qualifications for a position was that you are a good waiter." "I can't mingle with the 'quality.'" "Be sensible. This is an invitation." "I've learned something about canal conditions. What would people say if Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt were seen dancing with the new collector of No. 27. Besides, to tell the sordid truth, I haven't any clothes." Edith silently extended the envelope in her hand, but he laughed. "Perhaps I'll come to the next dance. I'll be rich then. See!" He showed her a long slip of paper consisting of five coupons, each numbered "8888." "Lottery tickets!" He nodded. "Allan had a very particular dream about the number 8, so I invested $5 'silver' on his hunch. It's the number of my automobile license." Kirk sighled at the memory of his new French car. "You don't object to such rambling." "Hardly," laughed Edith, "when I have a ticket for the same drawing. Every one does it. you know." "If I win the capital prize I'll come to the next party and claim all the dances you will allow me. The drawing comes off next Sunday, and it happens that I've been shifted to No. 6 for a few trips, so I'll have a chance to see the fun." Inasmuch as No. 6 did not leave until 1 o'clock on Sunday, he had ample time in which to witness the lottery drawing, a thing he had been curious to see since he had first heard of it. This form of gambling was well recognized, it seemed; not only the natives, but all classes of canal zone workers, engaged in it freely. The drawings were conducted under rigid government supervision. Allan, vastly excited, was, of course, waiting to accompany him. "Oh, been," exclaimed the negro, "I feel that we shall h'experience good fortune index!" "Did you buy a ticket?" "No, me. I haven't invested all my money traveling on these railroad trains." "Now see how foolish you are. If you'd stayed at home you might have bought the whining number today." "I prefer to 'hacccompany you.' But I have been thinking to make you a proposition of partnership. Master Anthony. I will stay home and dream numbers, which you can purchase with your salary. In that manner we shall certainly hear this lecture. I do not despise the profits, however, for being partners with you. I would like you to have plenty of money, that is all. I love you, sir. "Dear! You embarrass me." The drawing, which was for a capital price of $15,000 ("silver"), had drawn a larger crowd than usual, and when the two resented Cathedral angels they found the littery building and plenum thrashed to overwhelming with the usual plotty elements that make up these Latin American metaphors. By dint of considerable effort Kirk accounted for working the way through the wide double doors, and, besides much above the average height, he was able to get a good view of the proceedings. Upon a platform a group of commensurious officials were girlfriends about a revolving wire cage, as unlabeled that it could be whirled rapidly upon its axin. Into it were put ten very spherical, resembling dildo balls in size and appearance. When this had been done the cage was closed, and a very badly frightened twenty-year-old girl was selected at random from the audience, then lifted to the stage, where it required the commands and instruction of her master to prevent her from disclosing to her. As a word from the master of commensurious the cage was upon until the very bells inside leaped and opened like a creative aquarium. Then at another stage it was staged. The glass was opened, and the little girl jumped in a standing hand and selected a gobble. It proceeded to bounce, with the girl jumping over the floor, and in the final stage of the commensurious in the second dildo ball. At night of him Kirk drew down his knees and said graffiti: "Don't poke me with that umbrella." He turned away, but again Alfaro touched him. "I will spik' wilt' you, hombre," he said. "If you keep jabbing me with that crutch I'll break it, and then you can't walk home." Ramon jerked his head toward the square outside in an imperious fashion, and Kirk, curious to learn the cause of unusual excitement, followed him without demur. When they had reached the street the Spanish turned with flashing eyes and a thirtiessmile. "Well!" he said, dramatically. "Pretty well. How goes it with you?" "So! You 'ave sooooed in your cowardly attempt." "My what?" "I lose my possession as commandant of police." "You don't say so!" Kirk's face broke into a smile of real pleasure. "Hai! Makes it you to laugh, then!" exclaimed the Panamanian excitedly. "Perhaps you shall answer to those detestable actions, senor." "Perhaps I see you blame me for the loss of your job. Well, maybe you won't beat up the next American you get your hands on." "Bot-I 'ave another possession!" Ramon exulted. "I 'ave been promote! I am appoint' yesterday by his excellency the presidents to be his secretary." "I suppose it's a good job, but you ought to be selling poison in a drug store." Narrowing his eyes, Alfarez said meaningly in a voice that none might overhear, "Panama is sometimes very healthy city for fat Americans." He ran a boottle glance up and down Anthony's burly frame. "It is the climate perhaps' of too great eat. The senor is reech man's son, ch? Those do not greve the appearance." With supreme insolence he touched one of the buttons upon Kirk's linen uniform with his cane, whereat the American-snatched the stick out of his hand, broke it and tensed it into the street. His blood was up, and in another breath he would have struck the JOHN H. HARRIS "You have won the capital prize." "You have seen the capital price." Spaniard, regardless of consequences but just at that moment Allan danced out of the crowd crying in excitement. "Oh, bese! Oh, bese! Glory to God! it is true! Oh-h-h, glory!" Taking Kirk's hands, he knelt them before the other could present. Then he ran frastically: "Omee quick! Omee! Omee! Omee!" "Look out!" mapped Kirk angrily. "What's happened?" "The drummel! The drummel is come Oh, God, nor! Teb-yo here won the capital prize, nor! Yeo--do not say you have lost the ticket or I shall do and kill myself!" "Hike it in!" in his head Anthony waved a slip of paper, out of which he handed the big, red coupon--"MILL" "Dutton" came from behind him, and he turned to behold Alfarnear. Hyd of fire and with smoking hair, lying a handful of stainer coupons after the harmous case. Without another word or a glance behind him the Fremantle mixed mole off heroin the plum, barely in time to escape the drummel that sur- rounded the two he had quitted. Bombed by a fullside of questions in a dream teengun, justified by a drammer, curious dregge, the lady owner of $500 bought his way back into the battery, building, and so he want the news spread like fanning it. There it was, plainly displayed, "1000." There could be no possible mistake, and it amounted 1000 silver pence, a princely fortune indeed for the encounter of No. 2. As yet, however, he had not fully considered what this windfall meant to him. His first thought: had been that he could now discharge his debts back to New York and clear him, if before the law. Yet the more he thought of it the less eager he became to return. Seven thousand five hundred dollars in gold to Kirk Anthony of Panama, collector, was a substantial fortune. To Kirk Anthony of Albany, distributor, it was nothing, suppose he went home and squared his account with the police, what would he do then? Nothing, as usual. Here, he was proving that the Anthony breed was self supporting at least. And there was another reason, the weightiest of all. Long before he had reached the end of his run he realised that not 300 times the amount of this capital prince would tempt him to leave Panama before he had seen Chiquita. Chiquita was beginning to seem like a dream. At times during the past week he had begun to wonder if she were not really a product of his own imagination. His fancy had played upon her so extravagantly that he feared he would not know her if ever they came, face to face. This was most unsatisfactory, and he represected himself bitterly for the involuntary faithlessness that could allow her image to grow dim. He was almost without hope, of seeing her again. And then, with the in consequence of dreams and sprites, she appeared to him. It was but a glimpse he had added a tantalizing flash of recognition from her eyes. It happened in the dusk during the confusion that accompanied the arrival of No. 7 at Panama. It lasted only a moment, and he lost sight of her again in the crowd. But there was no doubt that she had recognized him, and nothing now could prevent him, from continuing his search. The trouble was that his present occupation allowed him no opportunity. He was tied to the railroad except at night. It was perhaps two weeks later that a serious shake occurred in the office force, of which no one seemed to know the cause. There was a mad scramble for advancement all along the line, in which Kirk took no part. But unexpectedly Runnels summoned him to his office. "How would you like to make a position?" said the master of transportation, eying him keenly. "So soon." "I said I'd advance you if you made good." He patted an instant, then said deliberately. "When you get the hang of things here you'll have a chance to be my assistant." Kirk opened his eyes in amazement. "Goal. That's great! But do you think I can get away with it?" "Not at once. It will take time, of course, and you'll have to work like the devil. Look here. Anthony, I'm partly selftish in this, for I believe you're the sort I'm going to want within the next year. The dependentendent has, had an offer from a big system in the state, and he's going to quit when his patrons come. He likes me and he says I'll probably step into his shoes. Do you understand what that means? I need follow me and count on you who won't double crease me to make a dollar, for themselves, or knife "me when my book is turned. I've got to have an efficient, nonlinear organization. Otherwise we'll all go under, but we'll be into politics up to one meal. I think you're my sort, so if you'll stick to me I will help you and for every step I take I'll drag you up one." "It's a go!" The two young men shaped hands beartily. Runnels had knocked the right note. Beside his former daughter to prove himself a mall, Kirk now felt a strong sense of loyalty to the one who had recognized his worth. When he told his good news to Mrs. Durham, her news was so cleverly downplayed that he never dreamed that she had been at great points to bring it all together. Not that Runnels was indignant to not open his own initiative, but the circumstances that had made his nation perverse had been due to her. It was hard to help a man against his will, but also provided by experience and took the line of least resistance. The young man himself did not inquire the identity, into the occasion of his advancement, and Balthus Cardinalt was but little in the mind. He was consumed with the thought of Chiquito. He hoped that his new work would allow him more control of his time and patience, just him in the way of hearing her moan. He could move in better quality now. one or more of these Cortlandt made frequent trips to the various quarters of the republic, sometimes abstaining himself for days at a time. During these intervals his wife assumed the direction of affairs and continued to entertain her by entertained Her energy and resource seemed inexhaustible. Soon she became the social dictator of the city, and the most exclusive circles. American and Panamanian alike, allowed her to assume control. The result was just great had been designed. Tourists and visiting newspaper people spoke intelligently of the amity between the two nations and wondered at the absence of that Spanish prejudice of which they had heard so much. Those who chance to know the deeper significance, of it all and were aware of the smoldering resentment that lay in the Latin mind commented admirably upon her work and wondered what effect it would have upon the coming election. No one but the woman herself and her husband really understood the tremendous difficulties of their task or the vital issues at stake. All who came into contact with her recognized the master mind directing the campaign and, consciously or unconsciously, relegated her husband to the background. To the Latin impollect this display of power on the part of the woman was a revelation. Since the effect she produced and made the most of it, Old Anil Alifarez was perhaps the last fully to appreciate her. He did, however, learn in time that, while he could successfully match his craft against that of the husband, the wife read him unerringly. The result was that he broke with them openly. When news of this reached the members of the canal commission they were alarmed, and Colonel Jolson felt it necessary, to make known their views upon the situation. Accordingly, a few nights later the Cortlandians dined at his handsome residence on the heights above Culebra. After their return to Panama the co-mel, in whom was vested the supreme authority over his nation's interests, acknowledged that his acquaintance with diplomacy was as notting as compared with Edith Cortlandt's. "The thinks Garavel is the proper man," he said to Colonel Bland. "Garavel is a banker. He's not a politician." The chief engineer laughed. "All Spanish Americans are politicians, colonel. They can't help it." "Would he accept?" "It is her business to find out. I had my doubts." "But could he win? It would be a calamity if he had American backing and failed. It would mean disaster." "Cortlandt has been working carefully, and he has been in all the seven provinces. He admits that it might be done, and she is certain. Of course it will mean a light-Alfaroes won't give up easily-but if Garavel should be the next president it would be a fine thing for both countries." Over at Panama the Cortlandts were looking for a house to lease. Affairs had reached a point where it seemed advisable to give up their quarters at the Tivoli and enter into closer contact with the life of the Spanish city. Meanwhile they gave a ceremonious little dinner, the one and only guest being Andres Garavel the banker. Of all the charming peoples of Central America there are perhaps more polished and well bred than the upper class Panamanians. Of this agreeable type Senior Garavel was an admirable example, having sprung from the finest Castilian stock, as a name running back through the pages of history to the earliest conquests attested. The present bearer of the name was of distinguished appearance. He was swarthy of skin, his hair was snow white, and he had stern black eyes of great intelligence. He was courtly and deliberate, evincing a pride that sprang not only from good blood but from good deeds. His pulse was that of a man with heavy responsibilities, for Andrus Garavel was a careful banker and a rich one. He was widely traveled, well informed and an agreeable talker. "I am so disappointed that your daughter could not come." Beth told him for the second time. "It arose also objects to our American informality." "No, so my dear lady," said their guest. "She admires American customs, as I do. We are progressive we have traveled. In my home, in my private life, perhaps. I am a Panamanian, but in my business and in my contact with other people I am as they are. It is the same with my daughter. She has had a wide education for a child. She has traveled, she speaks five languages, and yet underneath it all she is a Caravel and hence a Panamanian. She is all I have, and my life is born." The meal progressed with only the customary small talk to enlighten it, but as soon as the three had adjourned to the Curtlandt suit the host of the evening proceeded to approach the subject in his mind or directly as the circumstances permitted. Through a series of meetings, transactions the conversation was brought around to politics, and Gavriel was hardly acceded. But he displayed his interest. When it last he attempted to show the disapproval of the proposition of enormously bold men against with politically insensitive. Almost of the conversation Go to Church and Get Acquainted With Your Clergyman; He's Not a Bad Sort "I CAN'T be a hypocrite," was the ready excuse of one man when asked why he didn't attend church. "I know that I am not righteous and that I cannot practice what the church preaches." There is hope for this man. He is the kind the church wants. If he is not righteous he is not happy. Let him acquire the habit of GOING TO CHURCH and he will get a broader, better and happier view of life. We cannot all be saints. But surely a man can forget the temptations of the world for one hour or one day each week. At least for the hour or so that he is in church he can really think over the big things in life. Let him listen to the word of God and do his best. Of course there are some persons in every community who will criticize as freely the man who GOES TO CHURCH as the man who stays away. NO MAN WHO GOES TO CHURCH CAN BE A HYPOCRITE LONG. DEEP DOWN IN HIS HEART HE KNOWS THAT HE CANNOT SELL GOD A GOLD BRICK. IF ORIGINALLY HE GOES TO CHURCH SOLELY TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION WITH HIS NEIGHBORS—and THIS IS TO BE ENCOURAGED—EVENTUALLY HE WILL FIND THAT HE IS GRADUALLY BEING LED TO THE RIGHT SORT OF LIFE. IT IS EASY TO ACQUIRE THE GO TO CHURCH HABIT. TRY IT ONE SUNDAY. WHEN ANOTHER SABBATH ROLLS AROUND YOU'LL FEEL A PANG OF REMORSE IF YOU DON'T GO AGAIN. GET ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR CLERGYMAN. YOU'LL FIND THAT HE IS NOT A BAD SORT. TALK TO HIM. IF YOU HAVE ANY CRITICISM OF THE CHURCH OR ITS METHODS, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT TELL HIM. HE'LL MEET YOU HALFWAY. NONE REALIZES MORE THAN HE HOW HARD IT IS TO WORK UP AN INTEREST IN RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS AMONG SOME PEOPLE. But give him and his church a chance. GO TO CHURCH once! Thon go again! "Oh-h! These young ladies!" he cried, laden with tourists, and the social life of the city grew brilliant and gay. Now that nature smiled, the work upon the canal went forward with ever growing eagerness. Records were broken in every department, the railroad ground beneath its burden, the plant human machine was strained to its fullest efficiency. Young Anthony mastered the details of his work very rapidly. Being intensely interested in his work, he avoided all social entanglements, despite repeated invitations from Mrs. Cortlandt. But when the grand opera season began he made an exception and joined her box party on the opening night. It seemed quite like old times to an evening audition; the stiff white linen awakened a pang of regret. There was a somewhat formal dinner in the Cortlandt's new home, at which there were a dozen greens, no Kirk had no opportunity of speaking with his hostess until they had reached the theater. "I've scarcely seen you lately," she said at the first opportunity. "You're a very neglectful young man. I begin to think you were avoiding us." "You must know better than that." She regarded him shrewdly over her shoulder. "You're not still thinking of—that night at Taboga!" He blushed and nodded frankly. "I can't help thinking about it. You were mighty like to overlook a break like that, but—" Unconceivably his eyes shifted to Cortland, who was conversing politely with a giggly old lady. She tapped his cheek lightly with her fan. "Just to show you how forgiving I am, I am going to ask you to go riding with me. The late afternoon are lovely now, and I've found a good horse for you. I suppose you ride?" "I love it." "Wednesday at 8, then." She turned to take in the scene about him. KEN meet Latin-American citizen. Panamanian prides herself upon her government theater. Although it punishes dark skirt wear of the year, its brief period of time is celebrated by a notable sampling of American and Panamanian friend," he said, with a quietness that intensified his meaning, "and I rejoice that he will be the next president of Panama." "You, of course, know that there is opposition to him?" "All Panama knows that." "General Alfair does not seem to be a friend of the United States. May I speak frankly?" Garnival inclined his white head without removing his intense, dark eyes from the speaker. "Don Anbil Alfair can never be president of Panama!" The banker made no visible movement, yet the effect of this positive declaration was almost like that of a blow. After a pause he said: "May I tell him you said so?" "If you wish, but I do not think you will." The licerer let his eyes flit questioningly to Mrs. Cortlanda's face to find her smiling at him. "Believe me, dear lady," he said, "I suspected that there were grave reasons for this interview, but as yet I am at sea. I am not a politician, you know. I shall have no voice in our political affairs." "Of course we know that. Senator Garavel, and of course there are grave reasons why we wished to talk with you. As Stephen has said, General Alfares cannot be president—" "Madam," he said coldly, "Panama is a republic. The voice of the people is supreme." $^{4}$ "Down in your heart do you really think so?" She was still smiling at him. "No! The United States is supreme." "Ah! That day will come, perhaps—I have said so. I look forward to it as the best solution, but—" "The day has come." "Even so, Alfarez is an honorable man, a strong man and the wealthiest man in our country." "You are also a rich man, a man of ability," said Cortlandt. "Your name is second to none in all Central America. There is no one better—" "Impassible," exclaimed the banker, in a strange voice. "I? No, no!" "And why not? Have you never had political aspirations?" "Of course. All men have dreams. I was secretary of finance under Amador, but the Garavelas have never really been public men. Politics have been a curse to our house. My grandfather." "I know," broke in Mrs. Cortlandt. "But times have changed. Panama has seen her last revolution, and she needs a business man at her head. Panama is a healthy country, with no national debt. She is growing, developing. She holds the gateway to the western world, and her finances must be administered wisely. There is no one who can direct her so well as you." "It is impossible!" repeated Garavel, his agitation growing more pronounced. "General Alfaro is my friend. His son will be my son." "Ramalel is Ramon engaged to your daughter?" "Yes," exclaimed the banker, shortly. He began to pace the room. "What difference would that make, if the young people love each other?" "Certainly." Cortlandt agreed. "They are not children." "As for love, Ramon loves, and-my daughter will love also, once she is married, for she is a Garavel." "If Ramon isn't satisfactory to her, ought you to force her incarceration!" Mrs. Cortlandt offered, eagerly. But the banker fung his arms aloft in a gesture of half humorous despair. "Oh!Ah! These young indies!" he cried. "They do not know what they want." He pinned abruptly. "This comes upon me like a food, my friend. I am swept away, and yet I—I will need to think seriously." Courtesy. "To be an excellent moll the salary will mean nothing. I have many affinities; I fear I cannot afford this sacrifice." "Would you refute in favor of some one who could defend it?" "Alainus is honest." "Alainus cannot be president." "It would require a great deal of money. I am considered a rich man, but I have disallowed the future, and my interests." "She fung out my life." "I have refused. I would be imprisoned. It is the right to my own THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. that I have invested. "It will require very little money," said Cortlandt. "I have been from David to Darlen, from Boca to Colon and I know the public sentiment." It was midnight before Senior Andrew Garvey, the bunker, bade his friends goodbye. When he descended the hotel steps to his carriage he held his white head proudly erect, and there was new dignity in his bearing. The winter season was at its height now. Every ship from the north came A Bernard Cézanne There Was the Girl of His Dreams. Mrs. It was an exceedingly well dressed audience, for although the pilt was plentifully sprinkled with men in white, the two lower galleries were in solid full dress. In the center box of the first tier, ornamentally hung with flags and a coat of arms. Anthony beheld a giant black man of majestic appearance, flanked by a half dozen aids in uniform. "That is President Galileo," Edith follombe. As the curtain fell on the first act Kirk rose with the others and, accompanied by Mrs. Cortiandi, made his way down the long passageway and out into a brightly lighted, highly decorated foyer, filling now with voluble people. It was a splendid room, but he had no eyes for it. His gaze was fixed upon the welcome open air enclosed outside, and his fingers fumbled with his cigarette case. "Oh, wait, please," he heard Edith say. "I want you to meet some one." There, not a yard away, was the girl of his dreams demurely bowing to Edith Cortlandt, her hand upon the arm of a swarthy man, phom Kirk knew at once as her father. He felt the blood rush blindingly to his head, felt it drumming at his ears, knew that he must be staring like a man beaft. Mrs. Cortlandt was speaking, and he caught the name "Garnel" like a bugle call. She was the same dainty, destruous maid he had met in the forest, but now splendidly radiant and perfect beyond his imagining. She was no longer the simple wood sprite, but a tiny princess in fliny white molded by some master craftsmans. As on that earlier meeting, she was thrilling with some subtle mirth, which flickered on her lips or danced in the depths of her great, dark eyes. How he ever got through that wild introductory moment without making a show of himself Anthony never knew. The general confusion perhaps helped to hide his emotion, for around them edged a constant human tide, through which at last came Mr. Cortlandt and the other members of his party. Then by some glorious miracle Kirk found himself moving toward the open air at her side, with Mrs. Cortlandt and the banker in advance of them. "Oh, Chiquita," he said softly, "I thought I'd never find you. I've hunted everywhere. At the tremendous intensity of his tone she flashed him a glint glance. "Chiquita is not my name," she said, reprovingly. "Yes. It is; it must be. I can't think of you by any other. Hasn't it been whispering at my ears ever since you said it? It has nearly driven me mad. Why didn't you come back as you promised?" "It was, Stephanie—she is such a ferocious person! I was brought to the city that day—but no senor. I did not promise. I said only 'perhaps.'" "Have you done your penance?" "It was finished yesterday. This is the first time I have been out. Oh. It is delightful. The music—the people?" "And I can come to see you now?" "Very well do you know that you cannot. Have you not learned our custom? Do not be foolish, or I shall be forced to walk with my father." "Don't do that. Can't you see we must make haste, while the curtain is down?" "I do not see. I am strolling in search of the cool air." She bowed and smiled at some passing friends. She seemed very careless, very slippant. She was not at all the impetuous, mischievous Chiquita he had met in the woods. "See here!" he said, soberly. "We can't go on this way. Now that I've met your father, I'm going to explain my intentions to him, and ask his permission to call on you." "My father is a stern man. In his home he is entirely a spandard, and if he learned how—we met, for instance—even under the electric light he saw flash—he would create a terrible scene." "Trust me! I shaltn't tell him." "There are no many reasons why it is insolent." "Name one." "One! like shrugged-lightly. 'In the first place I care nothing for you. Is not that enough?'" "No indeed. You'll get over that." "Let us imagine, then, the contrary. You Americans are entirely different from our people. You are ced, deliberate, wicked—your social customs are not like ours. You do not at all understand us. How then could you be interested to meet a Spanish family?" "Why, you're half American." "Oh, yes, although it is to be regretted. Why, there is no other place." D. J. FARRAR, CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER.

There are the white people of Spanish descent, the mestizos (half Spanish, half native and the Indians. The Indians themselves are of two races—those of the mountains and those of the forests. The highlanders are the descendants of the ancient people of the Incas. Both lowlanders and highlanders are treated as hearts of burden by the other classes. So accustomed are they to being cheated that when an English traveler recently exploring the Andes paid his portions without a grumble or a deduction he overheard them excitedly commenting upon the fact that the "eggler" had paid up in full. They All Do. An enthusiastic citizen, on the verge of a trip to Europe, was relocating over the fact and descending on the pleasures to come. "How delightful it will be," said be to his wife. "to tread the bounding blow and inhale the invigorating oxygen of the sea! The seal. The boundless sea! I long-to see it! To breathe in great draughts of life giving air.

Herb Growing in England. The production of medicinal herbs is a very considerable industry in England. Throughout Surrey, Suffolk, Hertfordshire and Norfolk there are many large herb farms. Among the herbs chiefly grown are rue, wormwood, comfrey, horebush, peppermint, rosemary and lavender. The English oils of lavender and peppermint are particularly famous, bringing from two to five times as much as the same oils produced in other countries. Of late years the street sale of little bunches of fresh lavender, especially in London, has consumed a considerable part of the large annual supply. - London Opinion.

Manicurists and Chiropractists Also Called to Time for New State Regulations. Richmond, Va., June 10 (Special)—For the protection of the public and for the prevention of diseases carried by bearer's tools and similar instruments, the State Board of Health has adopted new regulations which are to be enforced in barber shops, hair dressing establishments and public bath houses in the State. The full text of these was given out today. The Board adopted these regulations at its last meeting, but its officers have not insisted upon their enforcement until full publicity was given to the requirements. Discards are now in press and will soon be sent out, containing the text of the regulations. One of these discards must be posted in every shop coming under the provisions of the law. The regulations for barber shop, hair dressing parlors and public bath houses in full are as follows 1. No person with any disease of the skin of the face shall be shaved in a public barber shop. 2. Barbers must wash their han is thoroughly with soap and water before attending any person. 3. No alum or other astringent shall be used in stick form. If used at all to stop flow of blood, it must be applied in the form of powder. 4. The use of powder puff is prohibited. 5. No towel shall be used for more than one person without being laundered or sterilized. 6. The use of sponges is prohibited. 7. Mugs and shaving brushes must be thoroughly washed after use on each person. 8. Combs, razors, clippers and scissors shall be thoroughly cleaned after every separate use thereof. 9. Floors must be swept or mopped every day, and all furniture and woodwork kept free from dust. 10. Running water shall be provided wherever it is possible to be had. 11. All bath tubs shall be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water after each separate use. 12. All tools or instruments used by barbers outside the shop in serving any person suffering from infectious or contagious diseases are required to be thoroughly and efficiently disinfected with 15 per cent formaldehyde or by boiling immediately after using the same. 13. No person suffering from any infectious or contagious disease, including tuberculosis or venereal diseases, shall serve any person in any barber shop, school, public bath room or bath house or hair dressing parlors in this State. The regulations for manicurists and chlropodists are very similar in scope and content. In particular, they provide that no person suffering with any disease of the skin, hands or feet shall be treated in any public manicure or chlropodist shop. Persons suffering from infectious or contagious diseases, including tuberculosis, are prohibited from working in these establishments. Paragraph 9 provides that "all scissors, clippers and other instruments and utensils shall be thoroughly cleaned after each separate use, either by being disinfected with a 15 per cent. solution of formaldehyde or by boiling immediately after using." The Board announces that it will send a copy of the regulations for posting to all establishments the address of which it can assert. Proprietors, however, are urged to for- Mrs. E. V.

ENVOYS CONFER WITH REBELS MOTOR TR.P KEPT SECRET They 'Go to Buffalo and Get...More Names For Provisional President of Mexico. The American commissioners to the mediation conferences at Niagara Falls, Ont., received over to Buffalo to confer with representatives to General Carrion in the Constitutionalist "First Call." Notley was known of their departure from Niagara Falls until about the time they were due to return. They expect to obtain the names of prominent Micans whom the Constitutionalists will be willing to have selected as provisional president. Dr. J. Loege, secretary of the American commissioners, made announcement of the trip of Justice Lamar and Mr. Leammann in a statement, the purport of which was as follows. "The American commissioners have constantly found themselves in need of information as to the character of persons under discussion for the provisional presidency. In their desire to get this information the American commissioners have for a considerable time been endeavoring to have a conference with the Constitutionallists, and so informed the mediators. "The commissioners thought they had the opportunity of getting the desired information if they went to Buffalo, and with the consent of their government they decided to make the attempt to obtain it." Mr. Doe would not give the names of the Constitutionalists with wooom the delegates had arranged to confer. The S. S. C. convoy, in a sense, have closed, and double-locked the door to the people against representative Carranza. Another development is that the deadlock between the Americans and the Huerta delegates over the question of the man to be chosen to the provincial presidency is erotic. The most development came as the result of the result of Carranza's reply to the recent note of the mediators. To this reply the mediators responded accordingly to Carranza that only two in the granting of an armistice could be entered mediation. This the Constitutionalists so far have flatly returned to do. The second development followed a two-hour conference of delegates and pollators. When an adjournment was taken until Friday there seemed no possibility of an agreement being reached them. In some quarters it was reported that the mediators had informed broadly that if no progress was made Friday they would bring the peace parliage to an abrupt termination. The ostensible reason for the adjournment with Friday was to enable Senator Robert A. Argentine minister, to go to the White House and Harvard, where he is coronary degrees, but Lawyer J. Thomas Howlin..... 76 Only the names of those who have had more than 25 ballots cast for them will be published in the voting This break in the proceedings will afford the American and Mexican delegates an opportunity to consult their governments and to meet together and talk matters over informally. LIQUOR DECISION REVERSED Delaware Court Upholds Right to Ship to Private, Consumers The Delaware supreme court, in session at Wilmington, reversed the judgment of the court below in directing the conviction by a jury of Benjamin S. Van Winkle, an express agent, at Smyrna, on a charge of violating the Delaware anti-shipment law by delivering shipments of liquor into "dry" territory. The constitutionality of the Webb Kenyon federal law in relation to liquor shipments in "dry" territory and the Delaware law is sustained, but judgment is reversed on the ground that the shipments of liquor which Van Winkle delivered were for a lawful purpose, private consumption—and therefore not contrary to the state law. The court held that it was not necessary to pass upon the decision of the lower court in respect to the federal law. Thaw Denies He Will Flee. In a signed statement issued at Dorham, N. H., Harry K.

JUNE 20, 1914 OFFICE OF 'FURIES RAIDED BY POLICE HIGH WAGES FOR BURNING Detectives Get List of Contributors and Criminal Prosecutions May Be Started. Scootland Yard raided a secret, headquarters of the militant suffragettes in Tutthil street, London, from which the "turles" have been directing their campaign of destruction and retaliation since the offices of the Woman's Social and Political Union was placed under police surveillance. As the result of evidence discovered in the raid four women were arrested and were arraigned on the charge of conspiracy. They are Emmeline Hall, Nellie Hall, Helen Arnes and Julin Jameson. During the hearing they attacked the wardresses and policemen, kicking, kicking and scratching them. They howled at the judge and had to be retrained from upsetting the counsel table. The detectives asked many papers and books, some of which contained the names of those who have been contributing to the militant campaign fund. It is said that criminal prosecutions will be started at once against those persons. Documents were also found containing plans for burning buildings and committing other outrages and showing that high rewards were being paid for carrying them out. Fifty-detectives took part in the raid, surrounding the building so that none of the occupants could escape. The women had cleverly disguised the nature of the offices and it was only by accident that the Scotland Yard men found the place. They were on thell of a well known militant leader, who was suspected of being in a plot to do personal violence to the king, when she led them to the building. the police did not act at once, but waited until a number of women were in the offices. Word had reached the police that the militants had planned a desperate demonstration at the state ball at Buckingham Palace, with the intention of disrupting this aristocratic function. It is believed that details of the plot were worked out at the Tuthill street place. Ravages of the "furies" have aroused public feeling to such an extent that it is expected the session of parliament, which has just begun, will take action designed to curb the growing violence of the women. One of the peculiar features of the suffrage situation is the attitude now adopted by many clergymen. Destruction of church edifices and interruption of services have worked up the clergy to such a state of wrath that many have written open letters to the press advocating that militants be allowed to starve themselves to death in prison if they so desire. BLAMED FOR SIX DEATHS Mine Engineer Believed Intoxicated at Time of Disaster.

The coroner's jury placed the responsibility for the accident on David Williams, engineer, who, they found, had intoxicated drink before the accident, alleging that the company knew his habits. The jury recommended that the company be strict in the use of safety devices and strictly recommended that it be careful in selecting engineers hereafter.

A special train from Mexico City, Mex., took many very wealthy Mexicans to Vera Cruz on their way to Europe, and it, stronger than any thing else at has appeared, indicates the collapse of the Huerta government and to American expert observers and Mexicans at Vera Cruz. Members of the great ruling families of five years ago, the land owners, the cientificos of the Dlaz regime, have come to the conclusion that it was time to alter their estates and see. They have hung persistently all along to the ope that the provisional government did save something out of the wreck for them, and they have contributed to their large means to the many legal loans that have been made. They are the great resource of Huerta. Since they are deserted the capitals it is the option that one more important truth can leave the capital, and that will bring Huerta himself. The Mexican who came out beg that their names be withheld from any quotation, but they agree in this one important thing. A fair election in Mexico is possible now and will be impossible to the near future unless it is supported by the United States. POSSE HUNTS ASSAILANT Joina Police In Search For Man Who Attacked Girl of 12. Attached a short distance from her home, while on an errand, Anna, the twelve-year-old daughter of Richard Powell, of East Mines, near Pottsville, Pa., was the vicious mof an assault by a man for whom the police and a pose are searching. A detail of Troop C of the state constabulary is hunting through the woods for miles around, and it is believed will soon capture the assailant, said to be a tramp about thirty-five years old. The little girl, after she broke away, dragged herself home and dropped exhausted into her mother's arms. A poses of citizens is assisting in the man hunt, and vengeance is threatened if the assailant falls into their hands before the police get him. DIVA WINS DIVORCE Mme. Schumann-Helink's Matrimonial Bonds.Again. Savered. Mme, Ernestine Schumann-Helink the singer, won her divorce in Chicago from William, Rapp, Jr. Judge Sullivan sustained a motion made by the diva's attorneys and directed the jury to find, for the plaintiff. William Rapp, Jr., lawyer husband of Mme, Ernestine Schumann-Helink and author of the "Dearest Nonnie" love letters, conceded before court convinced that the prima donna had won her suit for divorce. Rapp's defense was shattered absolutely when his attorneys were barred from going into the singer's past.

The bride to be up to date should have a cupboard full of shelves as well as a bureau full of drawers to accommodate her lingerie. And these shelves must be fitted with an edging of ribbon and lace and chiffon put on in the manner of pantry shelf paper. This edging costs, according to the elaborateness of its pattern and the fineness of its material, a good price. But it can be made less expensive. It consists of a strip of satin ribbon or a hemmed strip of satin about three inches wide. Over this lace is plaited, and the two are fastened together with chiffon roses or little satin flowers. The edging is tacked on the edge of the shelves under the little flowers. Thumb tacks can be used for the tacking. Dust collecting? Of course it is. And foolish and frivolous to boot. But it is dainty and a fit finish for the piles of filmy lingerie which are stowed away on the bride's shelves. WITH THE COOK. How to Make Deliciously Toothsome Jams Without Sugar. This is a fine way to make jam without sugar. Wash, dry and pick the fruit and boil it till thoroughly cooked. Soft fruit, such as currants, etc., requires no water, but it is better to put a very little with stone fruit. Sweep it to taste with saccharine, and if the jam is a red one add a few drops of cochineal or carmine to color. Draw the jam to one side of the fire, allow the jam to keep hot, but do not let it boil again. Next prepare the jars most carefully, for the whole success of the jam depends on the thoroughness with which this is done. Unless every germ is excluded the fruit will ferment. Choose glass jars, as these are less likely to contain any flaw than the earthware jars. Wash the jars with strong soda water, rinse them in hot fresh water, wipe them, being especially careful to dry the crevices. Soak the covering papers, use good parchment, dry them and leave them till wanted) on a clean cloth. Place a small table within reach of the preserving pain, and on it put a tray with a clean plate containing a scaled soup ladle, have ready to hand a small coal shovel, a box of matches, two hotplates, a stick of sulphur and as many small bits of sulphur as there are jars. Light the stick of sulphur over the coal shovel and hold it in the left hand. Take a jar and hold it upde down over the sulphur for a few minutes, and when it is full of the sulphur fumes set it on the tray, upde down, so as to retain the fumes. Put the shovel on the window all outside and shut the window. Stick a tiny piece of sulphur on the end of one of the hatkins. Take up the jar and fill it quickly with fruit to within half an inch of the top of the jar, using the soup ladle to do this. If any gets splitted on the edge of the jar wipe it quickly but thoroughly off. Light the small piece of sulphur at the end of the hatpin and let it fall burning on top of the preserve, using the second hatpin to push it off the point of the other. Cover the jar quickly with the parchment and the it down tightly with string. Proceed in this way till all the jars are filled. Let them stand for twenty-four hours, then store them in a cool, dry, dark place. If exposed to light the jam loses color. On opening a jar for use remove the piece of sulphur. It does not leave the slightest flavor. After opening, use the jam at once, as it will not keep. How to Use the Casperole. An American housewife who is not acquainted with this little brown friend, the cassereole, feels a certain amount of fright at the French name. So called plain cooks feel themselves too lowly to dabble in French cookery. Yet the cassereole has no hidden mysteries to appall the simplest housewife. It is a covered dish, made of brown fireproof pottery, which can be used in the oven or on top of the stove. It comes in large sizes and small individual dishes. The food cooked in these dishes is called a cassereole of rice, chicken, spaghetti or whatever it may chance to be. The beauty of these little brown pots is that the cheapest meals, and all the most unheard of lofters will issue forth after the cooking as the most delicious of dishes. Inb a casserole may be put all the odds and eeds of the week, so the housewife learns to save the smallest amount of food. Such a mixture as the following is very common: A little cold meat or fish, a spoonful of macaroni or spaghetti, one carrot, a tablepoonful of peas or corn, a little soup stock and seasoning, and the whole comes out a most delicious mixture. The next time you have food left over try a casserole dish and see if it isn't voted a success by the entire family.

No Man Too Busy to Give an Hour Each Week to God Is there a man in any community who is too busy to spend one hour each week in church? There are one hundred and sixty-eight hours in every week. No man is too busy to eat during the week. No man is too busy to snatch a few hours of recreation in every week. No man is too busy to sleep during the week. Yet there are men who will declare that they are so busy they can't afford to give one-hour in every one hundred and sixty-eight to worship in God's house. In church you will find spiritual food and rest. Of all excuses for lack of attendance at church the "too busy" one is the filmsiest. Why isn't a man honest and admit that he doesn't want to go to church? Isn't it a fact that a man has a better feeling within himself and the world in general after he has spent an hour in the house of God?

Smith, in Pottsville, Pa., as the referee in bankruptcy, Joseph Strylzyk, of Shenandoah, who recently failed with liabilities of $50,000 and assets of $35,000, testified that from 1909 to 1914 he lost $12,000 play- ing poker. All the games in which he partic- pated with so much bad luck were played in Shenandoah, he said. According to the testimony given by Strylzyk, stiff poker games are not at all uncommon in Shenandoah. He said upon one occasion he "sat in" at a game on Saturday afternoon and played until Sunday morning, dropping about $1200. While Strylzyk did not say that the games in which he lost his money were fraudulent, he intimated that they were considerably off color. Where is Europe?

The light thus returned to the eye is "blue" simply because the particles of the air are of such exceedingly diminutive size that they can effectively deal with only the smallest of the luminous vibrations—that is, with the "blue" humulations. There are a few faint interminglings of the other colored rays in the blue of the sky, but they are in such triding quantity that the blue swallows them up. Being a Good Boxer In a story in the American Magazine by Elmer E. Ferris one of the characters comments as follows on the advantages of learning how to box: "The good of it lies right here. It increases a man's self confidence, and that protects him from trouble. Haven't you ever noticed among dogs that when a dog is a scraper the other dogs leave him alone, but if he is afraid they pitch into him? Men are something like that. Another thing: Boxing increases a man's aggressive spirit, although if he is anything of a gentleman it does not make him quarrelsome. Then, too, it is better than any other exercise in taking the fear of physical injury out of a man." "Setting the River on Fire." setting the river on fire. In old English times, when each family was obliged to sift its own flour, it sometimes happened that an energetic man would turn his sieve so rapidly as to cause it to catch fire. The style of sieve used in those days was called a "temese," and it became a customary saying that a lazy man would never set the temese on fire. Now, it happens that the name of the river Thames is pronounced like the name of this old flour sieve, and after many years, when the old fashioned temese was forgotten, it was thought that setting the temese on fire meant setting the river on fire, and that it why today we say that a stupid person will never set the river on fire.

Most people are aware of the power of agglutinates to resist external pressure on the ends, but not many would credit the results of tests recently made, which appear to be genuine. Eight ordinary hen's eggs were submitted to pressure applied externally all over the surface of the shell, and the breaking pressure varied between 400 pounds and 675 pounds per square inch. With the stresses applied internally to twelve eggs these gave way at pressures varying between 25 pounds and 65 pounds per square inch. The pressure required to crush the egg varied between 40 pounds and 75 pounds. The average thickness of the shells was 18-300 inch—London Globe. So It Does.

Epictetus says: "Appearances to the mind are of four kinds—things either what they appear to be, or they neither are nor appear to be, or they are and do not appear to be, or they are not and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task." A Shlewrock. Magnificent, gaiting intently at a dead dog, in a assigned tone at last said: "Here is another shipwreck." "Shipwreck!

A novelty in clockmaking consists of a timepiece whose case is made of English pennies. The coins, of which there are ninety six, all bear the date 1787, and were bent out to almost double their original size and then riveted together, while the coins were made of small strips of copper dented on to the face. The clock stands fourteen inches high and is eight inches broad at the base. "That time is money" is an adage with which we all sense, or less agree, but this is a name in which the saying might be severed still with innumerable twin. The clock is owned by a number of Lennard Bank, Bank, Yerkes, Englewood. + Meme estates rola fh , 7 3 Me tee 2 Satie Saturvay 75.00. 5.00. .Junn aot gti Ne’er Do. Weil.

NE DISAF PEARED MARCH 12 Philadelphia Police Do Not Knew If Boy Was Crowned Accidentally or Thrown into the Water. The long search for Warren McCarrick, seven years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. James McCarrick, of Philadelphia, who disappeared from his home on March 12, was ended on Tuesday. Edward McCarrick, a police sergeant, identified the body of a boy taken from the Delaware river as that of his nephew. The body had been in the river, so long that identification could not be established from the features. The only things by which the police could make a positive identification were the underwear, stockings and a garter. Sergeant McCarrick, who assisted for two months in the search for his nephew, examined the clothing in the morgue for half hour before he could be certain. Warren's father was not permitted to see the body. Recovery of the body so far from the McCarrick home has given the detectives a mystery to solve. They do not gnaw whether the boy was drowned accidentally, perhaps by falling down an open sewer, or was thrown into the water. The detectives will renew their search for the writer of two anonymous letters in German. He wrote to Warren's parents and the police that his horse had kicked the boy when Warren tried to get a hoop which lay beneath the horse's hoofs. There also is a theory that the boy was kidnapped and thrown into the water. A country-wire search had been made for the boy and rewards aggregating $6000 were offered for information leading to his recovery. Any doubt the detectives had as to whether or not the body was that of FIRST PRIZES. We Offer a Suit of Clothes or a Gold Watch to the Male Order of votes.

Warren McCarrick was dispelled when it was learned that the underwear found on the body is identical with that worn by the missing boy. The underwear bears the patent name of a brand, two suits of which were bought by the boy's mother shortly before his disappearance. To mask the identification more positive it was learned that Mrs. McCarrick had altered both suits by making a tuck in each around the waist. The underwear on the body taken from the river was altered in this way. EUGENICS BAR MARRIAGE Reading Girl Then Has Flance Arreteed. Register of Wills Newman, of Reading, Pa., has refused a marriage license to Herbert Good and Miss Leona Helman, both of that city, on the ground that the would-be bridegroom did not measure up to the requirements of the new engenic marriage law in some respects. Miss Helman then had Good arrested on a misdemeanor-charge. He was taken to jail, though willing to marry the prosecutrix. The problem was finally submitted to Judge Bushong, who directed that the license be refused on the ground that the young man is not mentally strong. KILLED UNDER AUTO Bey Dead, Grandmother Injured and Chauffeur May Die. Eyre Wright, the fourteen-year-old son of De Courcey Wright and grandson of Judge D. Girand Wright, of Baltimore, Md., was killed when an automobile turned turtle on the state boulevard near Annapolis.

AL BARTLETT FILM Mfg. Co. presents BILLIE ARNTE A GEORGE BELL and 40 others in a big, rip-roring comedy entitled An Old Stone Weapon. A remarkably stone weapon, extremely heavy and shaped like a "mere"—a small and effective Maori club—but fitted with a long handle, was recently found by a New Zealander in a cave in the Walkaermount district. It was so heavy that it required two hands to lift it, and it is not therefore likely to have been a weapon carried in battle. Some of the Maoris themselves suppose it was merely used for dispatching prisoners taken in war, others that it was left in the cave by Te KooD in his histori- trek from Kaihauoanaa. The probability is that it is very much older and belonged to the Tūhoe or, Urewera people, who fought in earlier days all over that district. --- We Offer a Gold-headed Cane to the Minister receiving the Second Highest number of votes We Offer a Gold-headed Cane to the Physician or Dentist receiving the Second Highest number of votes.

An old player was entertaining some friends with baseball stories. One of them was about a game between Mobile and Sayannah, in the Southern league. The score stood 5 to 4 in favor of Sayannah when a row occurred, and the enspire awarded the game to Mobile by the usual 9 to 0 score. On the way home from the grounds two nooses were discussing the affair. "But if Ravannah had five runs," said one, "how could the scab be nine to pothin'?" "That's easy," replied the other. "Didn't Mobile hav' foosh runs?" "Ya-aa." "Word, dear, don't foosh an' five make noise!"—New York lost. SECOND PRIZES. THE PLANET VOTING CONTEST. COUPON OR BALLOT.

Any information leading to my people will be thankfully received. Now this is the condition of the case and it might seem very late for I have been promising to try for a long time. On or about 1855 or 1858 I think according to grandma's information, grandma and her four girl children were sold at Jackson, Miss, and the slave traders had been prompted to not let her write back for she was minor heirs property and they said the heirs would pursue and take them, therefore she never did get any correspondence with her people. Now her people, her owners, were named Thomas Tucker and her brother was named Bill Tucker. Her name was Rosa Tucker and her four girls names were as follows: the oldest was my mother, her name was Margret; next was named Jennie; next, Matilda and the baby or younger, Josephine. Her owners were prominent white people and lived in the city of Richmond, Va. If there are any, of the Tuckers in or around about, please see the oldest ones to see if they can remember Grandma Roma, she was small in status, weighing about 105 pounds.
