"Then why in the name of Heaven
did you suecor us?'' Frank asked, dazed
at her revelation.
"a mere woman's whim,'' she replied,
jauntily. 81 saw you struggling against
fearful odds, and could not resist the
impulse to come to your rescue. 1 shall

too, ut that moment the mob behind,
impelled by the false alarm of soldiers
advancing in the rear, hurled his assail-
ants forward, and he had time to rccov-.
er himself and drag his wounded Captain
inside the house. The heavy door was
slammed and bolted, and for the time he
was safe.
Well might he stare around him with
wondering eyes. Before him stood q
young girl, pale as a sheet with excite
ment, but beautiful beyond his dreams
of woman's loneliness. He had never
seen that peculiar type of feminine per-.
lection found only among the Southern
ladies, which combines the flashing
beauty of the daughter of Italy with
the healthy vigor of the Saxon maiden,
Somehow or other he had got it into
his head that all the young women
south of Mason and Dixon's line were
sallow specimens of humanity with
lackadaisical manners and feeble con-
stitutions; so this glorious young Great
ure was a revelation to him.
She blushed under his ardent gaze,
and said, demurely:

gle through the window-blinds, and at
last summoned up courage enough to
unbar the door and give you shelter"

Consul General Guenther Not Alarmed
at the Situation.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.--Richard Guenther,
consul general to Mexico, reached the
Grand Pacific yesterday morning on his
way from his Wisconsin home to
the capital of our sister republic to the
south of u.s. Mr.. Guenther has been en-
joying a vacation at his home in Oshkosh.
He returns to Mexico without any fears
that the government of President Dias
VIII be overthrown. "In my opinion the
pr esent disturbance in Mexico is indica-
tive of nothing more serious than the up
rising of small faction thBt is always
dissatisfied, said Mr.. Guenther, 'and this
30 called revolution will be short-lIved.
Times Have Changed.
1T used to be in the days when the rail-
roads and telegraph were not established
and communication from one state to an
otf er was difficult that a revolution could
gain some momentum before the govern
ment was aware of it and took measures
to suppress it. Now, however, the gov
ern ment is able to cope with any uprising
as soon as it is started. and that is why
say that revolution in Mexico will not
be successful. Aside from this there is
no necessity for any uprising. President
Diaz has made good executive aud the
country is prosperous and the people are
contented.n

WASHINGTON, Sept. APPROPRIATIONS
for the great ecumenical conference of
Methodism, which is to open here on Oc-

greatest gathering Of religious brain
force ever seen in this or any other

two continents will be present; and al
though already a city of large and import

this as the most important gathering of
this decade. The conference will last

as THE Influence of Modern Scientific
Progress on Religious Thought" "Ecumen-
ical Methodsm." "the Christian Church. :"
sUniversity Education" "Romanism,"
international Arbitration" and many
other religious problems by the foremost
minds of the day, bids fair to hold for "a

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Inquiry at the

report that that organization will oppose
The loan to be asked of congress by the
Worlds fair national commission. n. A.
Cunning, editor of The National Econo-
mist, the official organ o. the Alliance,
said yesterday morning:
"The bill will not be met with the oppo-
sition Of the Alliance. We have taken
no steps regarding it, and there is not the
slightest likelihood that we shall oppose
The measure Our only fear is that the
bill viii not be reported by the commit
tee We sincerely hope that it will be re-
ported, because we shall then have an op-
portunity for getting our sub-treasury
land loan theories fairly discussed In con-
gress. We were unable to do SO last ses-
zion, but if the fair loan bill comes up
we shall have our chance this time, and 1t
would be very poor politics on our part
not to embrace it.
For the Government, Not for Chicago.
1--WE have never been advocates of the
lair, believing that those who would have
to pay for il would not be able to benefit
by it. But we favor its being held in Chi
cago as the central point for the farmers
who might be able to attend it. And as
tor our opposing the bill because of the
request coming from Chicago, that is ncn-
sense. We recognize that the bill is for
the government, not for Chicago. But
we also recognize that if it is proper for
the government to loan money to a cor
poration, national though that corpol a
ton is, it is also proper for the govern
ment to loan money to the people. Some
say that the constitution permits such
loans Us this one, but does not permit the
government to loan to the people. Loans
were made TO the centennial and to the
New Orleans fair.
An Opportunity Wanted.
ITO the latter place because the govern
ment desired to give the people an oppor
tunity to exhibit their colton. Very well.
But if that is constitutional why is it not
constitutional to loan money to the peo-
pie to permit them to raise cotton to ex-
hibitf No, you can say that we do not
oppose the loan. To show our belief in 1t
we may vote for it; that l can't say Of
fcally, for the reason that no official ac-
ton been taken upon it, but in voting for
It we should simply testify to our belief
in the principle of the government loan
Ing money upon security for the benefit
Of the people. And we only want the ol-
portunity which the introduction of the
Worlds fair bill will give to US to obtain
= hearing for our claims"
