Waring paused, feeling decidedly blank.

Poor father! We felt satisfied with each

looked again at her. "Oh pardon me, did

BISMARCK TOOK THE TABLE.
But He Had Another Like 1t Made in
a Night.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
In his private studio at the castle of
Fredrichsruhe Bismarck has a piece of
furniture of which he is particularly proud,
although he admits that he is not the
legitimate owner. 1t is an ordinary dining
room round table, made of common cherry
wood. The preliminaries of the treaty of
Frankfort were signed in February, 1871, in
Versailles, in the Rue des Reservoirs, at the
house where Bismarck had his headduar-
tiers. Theirs and Jules Favre were the
French delegates. Around the table referred
to were discussed the articles of the treaty,
which was finally signed, after several
days heated debate. The chancellor, on
that memorable occasion, closed the ar
gument, of which Theirs had the best, by
refusing to talk French any longer. The
Frenchmen being unable to understand
word of German, understood that it was
useless to insist, and gave their signatures,
granting to Germany the possession of
Alsace and Lorraine an indemnity of many
millions and many other advantages. Bis
r1arck proposed at once to the landlord of
the house to buy mis- table, offering an enor-
nous price for 1t. That gentleman posi-
lively refused, and for several years exhib-

CHAPTER 1.
When Mrs. Col Warlng sold her old
home in Virginia and went to New York
to live, she frankly confessed that 1t was
for the sole purpose of giving her daugh-
ters the advantages of social life, and the
opportunity to marry well.
Frankness seemed one of Mrs. Col War
ing's browning charms. Her poverty, the
beauty of her daughters, her motherly
anxiety and ambition for their future,
were all gracefully acknowledged; but dis
erection went hand in hand with this can
dor. The lady was shrewd enough to know
perfectly well when and with whom to
talk SO freely. Her audiences were care
fully selected. Men were apt to pity and
admire her, but a few ill-natured women
had declared her to be a deliberate and
selfish schemer. However, Mrs. Col War
ing suffered little from these sGurrilous at
tacks.
She was a small, slightly-bult woman,
with thin face, queer gray eyes and dark
hair tinged silvery on the temples. She
dressed plainly and always very markedly
as a widow, but wore some handsome
rings on her slender hands. No one ever
observed Mrs. Col. Warning without also
observing the old-fashioned cluster dia-
mond on her foreinger. 1t seemed to as
sist largely In the perfection of her plans.

derby chivalrous and reverential Barbara
laughed to herself over his unworldly faith,
while the sensation of tears stung her
eyes. She saw that his worldly experience
had not been excessively broad or else
that he had passed along with eyes closed
to the selfshness and folly of her set. He
painted well, surprisingly well for a young
man of such great expectations, and de-
voted himself assiduously to work. That
also appealed to her. HE will be great as
well as rich. and he is SO lovdDle. so low
able" she acknowledged to herself.
She had always expected to be interested
in the personality of the man she married,
but not to the extent that Noel absorbed
her. 1t was almost alarming. II think l
love him; yes, I'm sure 1 love him." She
rested her chin on her hands and unused
awhile. Why should her heart beat so fast
and loud every time she recalled tender

A fish would be warm-blooded compared to

Barbara refused to be plqued.
Mamma is admirable. but have a reason
of my own which occasionally is able to
assert iaelf."
''Your"reason be hangedr' cried Waring
rising from his seat in a passion. TT
doesn't seam to prevent you from accepting
all the alteration that is offered you."

Il don't see why 1t shouldn't have n
great deal to do with 1t, and I think If it
did there'd be fewer unhappy people in the
world-fewer divorces even. There is no
reason whatever for people throwing COM
mon sense to the wind simply because they
fall in love. For my part"

A POPULAR JURIST,
Judge F. Bookwalter Captures

HIS COURT METHODS APPRECIATED,

Prompt and Decisive ways OF Dispatching

Admiration and Eseesm OF Attornsys-
The New Judge.
Judge Hiram 8. Bigelow, of Galva.
Henry county. having received his
commission as judge of the Tenth
judicial district succeeding Judge A.
A. Smith, resigned, is in the city
and will make his first appearance on
the bench in the Rock Island county
circuit court Monday morning. In
view of Judge Bigelow's arrival,
Judge F. Bookwalter. who has been
temporarily presiding in the Rock
Island county court since the open
ing Of the January term, left this
afternoon for his home at Danville,
and it may be said that his depar-
ture is attended by the regret as
well rs the good wishes of the entire
Rock Island county bar. No jurist
has ever made the friends here in the
short length Of them that Judge
Bookwalter has since the opening Of
the January term, and yet the char
acteristics of firmness and determin-
ton have not been more forcibly ex-
empliiied in any other Judge here.
Judge Bookwalter's positive and de-
cisive manner and his promptness
and intelligence in dispatching bust
ness are the characteristics most ad-
mired, and probably quite as much
business has been disposed of as in
any similar period of time in the
county's history.
Appreciation Of the Bar.
In token of appreciation OF all
these qualities as a jurist. as we'll as
his personal geniality and high
mindedncss, the members of the
Rock Island county bar had planned
little supper for the Judge at the
Harper tonight. but his departure
having interfered with these ar
rangements, q testimonial of the
bars estimation and regard will be
sent to him at his home at Danville.
Judge Bookwalter has been on the
bench but four years. this being his
first term in the Danville district.
Circuit Court.
Judge Bookwalter this morning
overruled the demurrer of George
Baas to the answer of Thomas Corns,
treasurer Of South Moline, on the pc
tition of mandamus brought by Baas
against him for the payment of an
order of $1,000, which the treasurer
held was unlawfully drawn upon
him. 1t was argued at some length
by Messrs! Searle and Walker fol-
the petitioner. and w. H. Gest for
the treasurer, during the fore part
of the week. This is one of the diff.
ficulties arising over the South Mo-
line school litigation, and trial will
follow.

After Ali.

AFTER ALI
Austin, Tex, Sept. 25-The Austin
Ministerial association had a big meet
ing this morning, at which they condem
ned the COrbett-FitZsimmons prize fight
in uneQuivocal terms, and indoresd Gov
ernor Culberson's stand in opposing the
fight. The resolutions pledge the Gov
ernor not only the moral support of the
ministers. but further stipulate that
they will march under arms with the
governor to Dallas to prevent the fight.
They also make sweeping promises that
every man In the state who is brave and
reputable will join the governor in his
crusade against the fight.
The governor has nothing additional
to say on the fight, and will withhold
his program Of action until the writ
ten opinion of Chief Justice Hart reach
es him. He still contends, however, he
will ignore this opinion on the ground
that it is only the opinion of one judge
and not of the whole court.
1t was asserted at the state house this
morning that the fight management
was bluffing about holding the fight in
Dallas and had already made arrange
ments with Cherokee Chief to hold
the fight in the Indian Territory; that
circus now travelling through the
state and agreed to go to the Nation
and give a performance; and that the
fight was to be included in the circus
program.
A letter was received here today from
Dan Stuart saying all arrangements are
rapidly being completed for the fight,
and that it will come off on time at Dali
las and under police protection at that.
Sheriff Cabel, in letter corroborated
the assertion by saying he will comply
with Hurts opinion and protect the
hight from any and all intrusion.

feet OF lumber will be used daily. There
is no doubt here the fight will take
place as advertised. 1t is not expected
the governor will attempt to stop it, and
If he does he will be powerless. Presi-
dent Stuart says he is feeling perfect
