Nearly $40? Oh, it cannot be so

can tell us! All, yes! Is that you,
Mr.. Falkland? How fortunate!" broke
off Mrs. Courtenay, with a sigh of re-

his seat after the interval. "You will
be able to give US the right time"
'The right time? Certainly" Falk-

After all, it seemed that her aunt
was right when she SO emphatically
declared that they would have been
utterly at sea without the kindly help
Of Mr.. Falkland; and she began to
think that for the future she. would

terminus Of Satellite as Evelyn and

made their way quickly through the
throng of hurrying porters and trucks
of baggage Falkland made rush for
the ticket office, and then fastened for
ward to find Evelyn, who had gone On
to the platform, looking anxiously
around for signs of her aunt and maid.
Aunt Lydia must have lett by the
express-she is not to be seen any

"but Parker-both Parker and Sambo
they must be here"
"Yes-of course they must; have

and find Parker at once and bring her

But II she Is not hcre-if she has

was thoroughly hopeless.
"Take your seats! Take your seats!"

he said to Evelyn.
What was she to do? She was In

To . ProdIgal Turned Out Into the
World Many Years Ago.
Philadelphia Times: After moro
than twelve years OF dire poverty
Douglas Wilhelm is walking from New
York to his home in Eastern Tennessee
to claim a fortune Of 100000, which
his father left to him. Wilhelm
started from New York the other
morning, and intends to walk all the
way to Memphis. He says that he has
managed to live twelve years in want
without asking for charity and that
he does not intend to ask for 1t now.
He has enough money to pay for his
lodging and food on the trip, and does
not intend to ask for transportation.
Wilhelm was at the Twenty-f1fth els
trict police station, and was there seen
by a reporter for the Times, to whom
he told his story. His father, he said.
owned a large cotton plantation about
forty miles from Memphis, and he and
his son lived together until twelve
years ago, when the son fell IN love
with the plantation overseer's daugh-
ter. Several months later they ran
away and were married. The boys
father would not be reconciled to the
marriage and turned the son out on
the world. Wilhelm's education was
not good, and he and his young wife
wandered from place to place. making
q living as best they could. They
finally drifted to New York, where the
wife died. Wilhelm made a living by
selling papers, and continued to strug-
gle on alone until few weeks ago.
when he saw in a southern paper that
his father had died leaving him his
entire fortune. Wilhelm wrote to the
administrator Of the estate. but re-
ceived no answer. and is now on his
way to his home to claim the estate.
He looks worn and haggard, but seems
confident that he will be able to make
the trip.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. o.-Shortly
after midnight the republican and
democratic conferees in session at the
Gait house came to an agreement. A
stenographer was summoned and .
document was signed BY the part'c'
pants in the conference. 1t Is said the
agreement is decidedly favorable to
the democrats. Governor Taylor Is to
withdraw the troops from the state
buildings at Frankfort and send them
home. The order converting the legis-
lature at London is to be revoked, and
the regular sessions of the assembly
are to be resumed at the state capitol
without molestation. The agreement
provides that in order to leave no
question as to the title of William
Goebel and J. c. Beckham to the offices
! of governor and lieutenant governor
respectively, the general assembly
shall pass resolution in joint assem-
bly, validating the acts on that suD]ect
since the legislature has been prevent
ed by troops from holding its regular
sessions at Frankfort. AS soon as the
legislature does this, Beckham's title
to the office of governor is not to be
questioned. The democrats grant inn
munity to Governor Taylor and his as
sociatcs from prosecution for treason,
usurpation of office or contempt OF
court for what has been done since the
shooting of Goebel. These matters
are to be held in allegiance until next
Monday. The republican Legislature
is to be withdrawn from London i'm
mediately and no flibustering or other
attempt of this character is to be re-
sorted to by the republicans to obstruct
the carrying out of this agreement in
the legislature.
