Frank stood on the thick, soft carpet and
looked at Miss Clauson, who had no idea that
her solitary exile was ended.
She was seated on the music bench. Her
hands were on the keys Of the piano, but
making no music. She was gazing with
grave eyes far, far nway-looking right

RO~llx Odd Fellows.

CHICAGO. January 1.-THE civil war be
tween the Patriarchal Circle and the Inde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows is now on in
full earnest 1t will be remembered that
the Sovereign Grand Lodge at its meeting
in Baltimore last summer decided that all
Odd Fellows should withdraw from the
Circle or be expelled from the order. jan
uary LIST was the date decided upon as the
limit of time to be allowed for obedience to
this mandate, and it is reported that a
large number of Odd Fellows have severed
their connection with the order rather than
submit. Among these is Peter Van Vrch.
ten, of Milwaukee, who has been an Odd
Fellow for thirty-iour years and has held al.
most every Office IN the gift of the order.
A new Patriarciai Circle with fifty menl-
bers is 10 be organized in that city next
week and still another is to be brought into
existence in Chicago. With last reports
the various State lodges had not COM
menced to enforce the mandate. but e.
pulsions on a wholesale scale are expected
during the next three weeks.

upon which the leaders devise their plans
to aid and support one another, under
the plea Of getting together to do honor
