for, kindly as was his manner, the
words he spoke seemed to strike knell
to my fondest hopes.

rather coldly.
"And-and your daughter, sir" l
went on, with trembling voice; ME

A smile fitted across his face for
moment. Then he became grave again,
and regarded me earnestly. He did not
reply for some time; he seemed to be
considering his answer.
MY daughter is rather indignant;
she thinks that you are unjustly
treated" he finally said.

ing this. / sprang from my seat and
approached him.
mfr. Morley, you do not know what
it means to me to hear this. You cannot
imagine how your daughters opinion
fills me with hope. May ask you, sir,
to express to her my deepest gratitude
for her faith in my innocence? AS God
There was no controlling my voice; it

said Mr.. Morley. "She has informed me
of the sentiment you entertain for her.
But, Mr.. Conway, l believe you are a
young man of sense and honor. You
must therefore realize the position you
would place her in by insisting on the
continuation of friendship which, out
of kindness and gentleness of disposi-
ton, she would probably not refuse you.
1t would be unjust TO her, embarrassing
TO you, and wholly contrary to my
wishes"
II fully appreciate the meaning of
your words, Mr.. Morley. Believe me,
regard your daughter too highly TO
intrude upon her notice, under existing
circumstances. 1t is no sentiment l
entertain for her; it is love, sir, deeper,
truer, fonder than mere sentiment.
This love has become the ruling motive
of my life, and will always remain so.

FIRST ALPINE VICTIMS.
Some Ambitious Climbers Disregard
All Rules of Climbing,
and Perish.

The Alpine season has hardly begun,
but it has already claimed its fist vic
tim. The other day a party of six
young men set out from Vienna IN
tent on climbing the Rax Alp. They
spent Saturday night in a wayside inn
on the mountain side. The morning
broke windy and stormy, and four of
the party decided to postpone the at
tempt to climb the dangerous peak of
the Katzenkopf. The other two were,
however, not to be dissuaded by any
argument, and were joined by third
man. The result was what any climber
of experience could have foreseen. The
two friends, Pressler and Potch, were
in front, the third man, link, some
way behind, all clambering up the side
of a great rock, The leader slipped,
driving his ice-ax into his own skull in
his struggle, and fell back on his friend.
Strange to say, the man on whom he
fell was not much injured, and both
might have escaped, had not Pressler
killed himself with his own ice-ax. The
unfortunate link, hearing the noise of
the fall and the cries, lost his balance,
overcome with terror, and fell circling
in the air and bounded down the noun
tain side. He was killed on the spot.
The survivor had just sufficient strength
to drag himself down to the hut and
call for assistance.
1t is quite obvious that this latest Al
pine tragedy was due to the neglect of
the most elementary rules of climbing.
The young men took neither guides
nor ropes. They attempted a most diff
ficult peak on stormy morning when
an experienced mountaineer would not
have ventured out. An even more
dreadful tragedy is reported from the
Kaiserstein. Again all ordinary precau-
tions were neglected, and one of the
tourists fell into a snow-drift, from
which il took him three hours to extri-
cate himself, his companions mean
while being frozen to death. When will

To heredity, TO the transmission OF
traits from sire 10 son, we owe most OF the
possibilities OF growth and development.
II each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
OF life might be expected TO be that of the
digger Indian OF Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good Peculiaritics
OF feature, excentricities Of speech and
manner, birth marks, ETC., nre handed
down just as surely as manual desterlty,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental aud moral qualities In
general. A curious example of this de-
scent of family traits Is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair Is hereditary in our family.
As long as can recollect, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago,
my hair began to show signs Of turning.

MODERN WAR AND SURGERY.
New Conditions witch Have Becn
Developed by the Improve
ments OF Recent Years.

1t is quite likely that during the prog
ress of the present war there will be
entirely new experiences in the charac-
ter and treatment of the wounds in
flicted in battle as compared with those
of 80 years ago. Since that time the
destructive machinery of the battle
field has been brought TO such degree
Of perfection in regard to distance of
raage, accuracy of aim, and power of
penetration, that the percentage of
such as may receive slight wounds,
from which recovery may be possible,
will be exceedingly small in proportion
TO such as are destined to be killed out
right. 1t will be question of whole
sale slaughter, in which the winner
can show the greatest amount OF anni-
hilation in the shortest possible time.
The mill that has the best grinding
power will be the first to receive the
prize. The game is to be played with
stakes in job lots. II is to be whole
sale business entirely, the mere retail
exhibitions of personal bravery, indi-
vidual tact, or military genius being vir-
tually unnecessary for the desired end
The best equipped machine shop will
turn out the most goods. Hence II will

Der of lives that may be sacrificed. The
! wounds win be on large scale and nu-
merous in proportion. Especially will
this be the case OF the battleships un
der fire. Extensive lacerations from

torpedoes, and splinters of steel and
wood will be the rule. The wide areas
of tissue involved and the correspond
ing intensity of shock will necessitatt

and new methods of surgical technique
Comparatively speaking, amputatior
will be more necessary than resection
When once the danger of operation IL

What is lost in one direction will b.
gained in another. Hospital gangrene

in our late war, will be virtually impos
sible, and suppurating stumps will NJ

waited itself almost to science, an,
death on the field, virtually inevitable
before, is now most effectually thwarte,
by the modern and ingeniously skillfu
methods of the present day. Thus, Will
the war may infiict larger and NOR
dangerous wounds than ever befor,
there is comfort in contemplating tn
compensatory balances of odds in favo
of the corresponding advances in opei

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.
From the Free Press, Detroit. Mlcl

From the Free Press, Detroit, Mich.
A prominent business man recently ex-
pressed the opinion that there is one thing
that will prevent women from completely
filling mans place in the business world
they can't be depended upon because they
are sick too often. This is refuted by Mrs.
G. w. Mansfield, business woman of So
Farrar St., Detroit, Mich, who says:
"A complication of female ailments kept
me awake nights and wore me out. could

slipping away from me. A young lady in

quented by me. l held my head erect,
as had right 10 do; but il was with n
heavy heart and chastened spirit that
1 realized that people summed me.
Houses where had been on most friend
y terms were closed against me.
1 was tempted many times to seek
consolation and encouragement in the
presence of Florence Morley, but 1t did
not seem right nor kind to burden her
bright life with my troubles, even
should she consent to see me, of which
was doubtful under the changed cir
cumstances. Perhaps it was this fear
which kept me away, as much as any
other idea.
About a week after the robbery let
ter came to my boarding-place:
''Mr. Nelson Conway-Dear Sir: If con-
venient, kindly favor me with an oppor-
tunity for conversation this evening at
eight. remain in town over night, and you
will find me at my city residence.
SYLVESTER MORLEY"
Wondering what he could wish to say
to me, 1 repaired to his house at the
time mentioned.
Mr.. Morley received me in the library
and arose from his chair as entered.
Good evening. Mr.. Conway" he
gravely said, bowling his head. "Please
be seated"
After l had chosen a chair on the op'
posite side of the room, and he had re
sumed his seat, he began, somewhat re
luctantly, but in his stately, courteous
way:

RUMoRs OF CHANGES.
The Force at Detective Headauar-
tcrs Involved.

Rumors are again prevalent to the effect
that changes are to be made in the detail
of men now doing duty at detective head
quarters and speculation is lively as to
when they via occur and who will be af-
fected by them. Recently an order was
issued detailing Detective Boyd. who had
been doing duty in the second precinct, to
work at headquarters under Inspector
Boardnan. This detail, 1t was said, was
a temporary one, and was only for the
holiday season.
1t is customary at this time of the year
to augment the regular detective force at
headquarters by temporarily adding to it
such men from the different precincts as
the chsef of police may designate for spe-
ciaI duty. The detail of Detective Boyd
was the first to occur. and il is more
than probable that other men Will soon
be assigned in a similar manner.
1t has been rumored for some time that
changes were to be made In the person
mel of the detective Office. Detectives now
on duty there. it was said. would be re-
moved ard sent back to precinct duty.
while men from the precincts who had
shown a particular adaptability in the
prevention and detection of crime would
be detailed to fill the vacancies caused by
the removals. The removals. it must be
understood. should they occur, will not be
due to any inetficiency on the part of the
present headquarters men. They will sim
ply be returned to former duty in order to
make way for and give a chance TO the
younger talent which is being developed
This being the holiday season. the mere
fact that runors of changes are current
would ordinarily have but little signifi-
canoe but inasmuch as at the time ot
the recent change in the inspectorship
there was talk of a general shake-up
among the subordinates. il is generally
conceded that any change made at pres
ent would be of a permanent. rather than
a temporary, nature.

WEARING STOLEN JEwELRY.
Detective HRrtigan Captures
Clever Thief.


Bernard F. Keenan,. thirty-four years
old, who gave his occupation rs dry
goods clerk, but who is said to be known
as a clever crook, who has served two
Jail sentences, was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Detective Hartigan. of the
Sixth Precinct, ard locked up at No. 6
station. on charge of grand larceny.
The complainant appears as Milford
Kaufman, manager of the :gentleman's
furnishing department at Friedlander's,
and the amount involved, including a
handsome diamond ring, a watch and
chain, and cash, is Si32. The robbery was
committed a few days ago at the home
of Mr.. Kaufman. at No. 600 IL Street
northwest where Keenan, had been stop
ping.
Detective Hartigan, after a prolonged
search, succeeded in locating Keenan, in
company with 4 woman at No 5G3 Sheri-
dan Avenue. The woman, il is said, is
married. and through the jealousy of her
husband the pair was located.
Keenan, was wearing the diamond ring
when arrested. The watch and chain had
been disposed of, but will be recovered.
Keenan, was cool and refused TO make
any statement.
keenan, at one time was arrested by
Detective Weldon for the larceny of $lI0
from the room Of n man with whom
Keenan, had been living. For that offense
he was sentenced to serve three years in
the pentitentiary. When arrested yester-
day, Keenan, was on his way to the rail-
road station to take a train for Pitts
burg. He Will be taken to the detective
headquarters this morning and photo
graphed for the rogues' gallery. He will
probably be arraigned tomorrow.
