A MEDIATION RUMOR
Report That Transvaal Has Asked us
tO-Help end the War

Washington, Jan. 4.-There is rea-
son to believe that the Transvaal
government recently requested this
government to use its good offices to
bring to an end the war with Eng
land. The proposition comes through
the American consul at Pretoria. No
answer has been given by the State
Department and probably will never
be, unless England intimates that
she desires interference.

Hugh Gordon took his stand IN the

as would enable him to see.

the key through the broken glass.
They had been in their respective
positions but short time when car

gravel, as 1t approached the house, and
In q moment more Herbert, Clarence
and Fannie entered the room.
Clarence little dreamed that his
brother Tom was under the sofa on
which he and Fannie were seated.
Aunt Mag came and took Fannie's
wraps.
"Is the parlor lighted, Aunt Mag?"
asked Fannie.
