that.
What are the objections to the divorced
husband and wife becoming husband and
wife again? Mrs. Presty has stated them in
the following order. Am l wrong IN assum-
ing that on this occasion at least, you will
agree with Mrs. Presty?
First objection: Nobody has ever done
such a thing before.
Second objection: Penitent or not peni-
tent, Mr.. Herbert Linley doesn't deserve il.
Third objection: No respectable person
will visit them.
First reply: The question Is not whether
the thing has been done before, but whether
the doing OF the thing is right In itself.
There Is no clause in the rcaS.lasc service
f~orbidding q wife TO forgive her husband,
but there b Q direct prohibition 10 any sepa-
ration between them. IL is therefore not
wrong to forgive Mr.. Herbert Lluiey, and il
Is absolutely right to marry him again.

him home and takes it for granted that her
father and mother should live together. be-
cduse they are her father q mother, inno-
cent Kitty has appealed from the law of dt
vorce TO the law of nature. Whether Her
bert Linley has deserved 10 or whether he

The summer Showers.

Before the stout harvesters faileth the
AZ when the strong storrn-wind Is reaping
the plain,
And iosters the boy in the briery lane;
But yonder aslant comes the silvery rain,
Like a long line of spears brightly bur.
n.shed and tall.
Adown the white highway like cavalry
fleet,
1t dashes the dust with its number,ess
feet.
Like a murmurless school. in their leafy
retreat,
The Wild birds sit listening the drops
round them beat:
And the boy crouches close TO the lack
berry wall.
The swallows alone take the storm on
their wing.
And, %taunt,ng the tree-sheltered labor
ers. sing,
Like pebbles the rain breaks the face OF
the spring.
While a runp.e starts up from each widen
ing ring:
And the boy in d.smay hears the loud
shower fall.
But soon are the haT-cstcrs tossing their
sheaves:
The robin darts out from biz bower OF
leaves.
The wren peereth forth from the moscow
cred caves
And the rain spattered urch,n now gladly
perce.vcs
Thai the beautiful bow bendeth over them
all.

when you force this ridiculous and re-
grettable affair on my attention II think
hear Mrs. SarraZin say, "the least you can
do is to make yOur narrative complete. But
perhaps you propose 10 tell me personally
what has become Of Kitty ana what we'll
deserved retributiOn has overtaken Miss
WcSterdeld."
NO; | propose, in this case also, to com
municate my information in writing-at the
safe distance from home of my Office in Lin
coins Inn Fields.
Kitty accompanies her father and mother
to the continent, of course. But she insisted
on first saying g0Od-by 10 the dear friend,
once the dear goyerness, whom she loves.
Randall and | volunteered 10 take her with
her mothers ready permission to see Miss
Westerfield. Try not TO be angry. Try not
to tear me MP.
We found Capt. Bennydeck and his pretty
secretary enjoying a little rest and refresh
ment after a long mornings work for the
good of the home. The captain was carving
the chicken; and Sydney, By his side, was
making the salad. The house cat occupied
q third chair, with her eye immOvably fixed
on the movements OF the knife and fork.
Perhaps was thinking of sad past days.
Anyway il seemed to me 10 be rs pretty a
domestic scene as a man could wish 10 look
at. The arrival Of Kitty made the picture
complete.
Our visit was necessarily limited by a due
remembrance of the hour of departure by
an early tidal train. Kltty's last words TO
Sydney babe her bear their next meeting in
mind, and not be melancholy at only saying
goOd-by for a time. Like all children, she
asks strange questions. When we were out
in the street again she said TO her uncle:
"Do you think my nice captain will marry
Syd?7
Randall had noticed in Capt. Bennydeck's
face signs which betraye ed that the bitterest
disappointment Of his life was far from be-
ing a forgotten disappointment yet. Ii il
had been put by any other person Kitty's
question might have met with a bitter reply.
As il was her uncle only said; My dear
child, that is no business of yours or mine
Not in the least discouraged Kitty turned
to me.
What do yoii think. Samuel?'

MUCH NOW DEPENDS
ON DEVELOPMENTS
Labor Leaders Holding a Confer
ence the Result of Which
May Be interesting.
GonpERS IS READY TO ASSIST
Arbitration Boards of Several States
May Hold "a Joint Meeting TO
Try and Effect an Early
settlement.

Pittsburg. Pa, July 10.-Develop-
ments the next twelve hours promise
to ave an important bearing on the
miners strike. The result OF n confer
ence of.prominent labor leaders here
today to consider a proposition for the
cooperation of the various trades Is
awaited with anxious interest. Presi-
dent Gompers Of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor arrived to confer later
with President Ratchford of the mine
workers. Gompers says he is anxious
to aid the strikers in every possible
manner. 1t is thought hat il may be
decided To have the trades organiza-
tions refuse to handle coal during the
strike. Gompers had a conference with
w. L. Rend a big coal operator of Chi
cage. The latter favors arbitration.
and saws the condition of trade will
not permit the advance asked for. 1t
is suggested hat "a joint meeting OF
the arbitration boards of Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois and Pennsylvania be held
here next week aud an effort be made
to settle the strike. IL is believed it
would be welcomed by both miners
and operators.
Among the other national leaders in
the city to confer with President
Ratchford of the miners, are President
Garland and Secretary Madden of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers: President Mahon of
the Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employees; Secretary Hughes
OF the Federated Metal Trades; Presi.

ference was set for this afternoon.
At 3 p. III. President Ratchford had
not arrived and the conference has

KANSAS CITY PHYSICIAN KILLED
DR.. A. L.. Berger Ii Shot and Killed
by John SchIegel a
G-rOcervmau.


Kansas City, Mo-, July 12.-Dr. A. L.
Berger, of the city's foremost ply.
%sicians, was assassinated on the street
by John Schlegel, "a grocer, DIR. Berger
was standing at Twelfth ard Main
streets, a busy section If : city,
reading n newspaper. sclleg ! ap-
preached from behind and fired two
bullets into the doctors back. DIR. Ber-
ger was taken to All Saints hospital
where he died a few minutes after the
shooting.
Schlegel made no effort TO escape.
He was disarmed by men in the crowd
which quickly gathered around him
and his victim. The assassin asked
one of these men whether Berger was
dead, and was told that the doctor ap.
pcarca 70 be alive.
"Tm sorry / didn't kill him." Schle-
gel replied, " for he has ruined my
home"
Witnesses who were within n few
feet of the two men when the tragedy
occurred state that as Schlegel began
firing at the doctor. he exclaimed Wild
ly: II tried to get you before, but,
d-n you, III kill you now!"
When taken to police headquarters
Schlegel stated again that he hoped he
had killed his man, and reiterated his
charge that the doctor had ruined his
wife and home, making the charge
that his wife had been assaulted in the
doctors office in November last.
Mrs. Schlegel, when seen after the
killing made the same charges against
the physician, and inquiry in the vicin-
ity of the Schlegels' home developed
the fact that the story was general
among their neighbors and that sever
nj men had advised the grocer to kill
the doctor.
Friends OF DIR. Berger, however, Wig
orously deny the story Of the assault
They say that Berger had been the
Schlegels' family physician for over
nine years and hat recently Schlegel
had become insanely jealous of the
doctor. rs early as two years ago DIR.
Berger told his wife and friends that
Schlegel was threatening him and that
he thought he ought TO cease attending
the family. 1t is known, however. that
he continued to wait upon Mrs. Schle.
gel and the children.
DR.. Berger was the son Of DR.. Adolph
Berger OF Lebanon, ILL.,, who was one
of the German patriots who sought
refuge in this country years ago, he
coming to this country in company
with Carl Schurz of New York.
