Though he spoke with the utmost re-
| spcct of Fanny, and did not hint, nor
indeed think, that she had acted from
an unworthy motive, his story made
the facts absurdly plain TO Helen, and
she was filled with wrath For the
poor little girl was already in love with
| Donald, had already set his image on
a lofty pinnacle, and she ragged at the
| thought that her idol should have lost
his heart to the commonest of money

! Delicacy restrained her from eX-
| pressing her real sentiments, and so
she could say only that she was sorry
he had suffered so much pain. She
said it so tcnderly and so sincerely
that it went straight to his heart,
which was not really SO seriously frac

After this experience there was Il
! new JOY in life for Donald. He could
| sit in IIclcns studio and talk about
! Fanny. \ beautiful girl was Fanny,
| if one would take D0nald'S word for

| 1t seemed to Helen that whenever
she herself felt doubtful of her at
fractions Fanny was an absolute
ideal. This was bad enough, but she
suffered worse, perhaps; when Donald
described Fanny's beautiful hands and
! never gave Il hint or word that he
thought Hclen'S pretty. Now, Helen
knew they were pretty. She could
prove it by all the canons of art, but
what was the use if Donald did not
know? And then her eyes! People
whom she didn't care Il penny about
! were always telling her that she had
the finest eyes in the world, yet Donald
would sit there for an hour talking
about Fanny'S eyes and looking into

little glass marbles.
All this the unhappy girl bore for
many weeks, but she rcbcllcd at last
1t was after they had become real

Donald and he called her ITclen-that
is, he called her Helen part Of the

sDISEASE APPEARS ON ANN
ARBOR STUDENT.
IS IN MILD FORM
Expert Says No Danger
Of Spread Need Be
Feared.

Detroit, April Ga Tribune special
from Ann Afbor, Mich, says: A
student of the University Of Michigan,
whose name is withheld, was taken
from the university to the contagious
disease hospital today and it is said
that he has a mild attack of the bu-
lbonic plague. The case was under the
care of DR.. Dock and it was by his
order that the patient was removed to
the hospital. !
DR.. Frederick Novy, the expert on
this disease, who recently made a trip
to San Francisco on behalf Of the gov
eminent to investigate the alleged
plague cases there, has been called in
consultation, but declines to state
positively that the patient is afflicted
with the plague. He says that fur
Their tests must be made to ascertain
the exact nature of the disease,
which at present mystifes the physi-
clans. DR.. Novy says there is no dan
ger Of a spread, if it is the bubonic
plague, and is inclined to avoid a dis
cussion of the subject.

in this city, and a recognized au-
ihority on matters pertaining to that
business, was seen tonight with re-
gard to today's dispatches from Lon
don that a large combination Of the
packing interests was being formed.
Mr.. Cudahy said he knew nothing of
such a consolidation. He said, how
ever, it was possible for such an Or
g~anization to be in progress without
his knowledge, but that this was the
first information he had had of such
an amalgamation.

Storms Continue in Northwestern
Kansas and Much Suffer-
ing Prevails.

Mcdonald, Kan, April 5-Another
ieIrific blizzard has been experienced
IN northwestern Kansas and has in
creased the suffering in the towns
llllpngg the lines of the Burlington &
Missouri River railway. The storm
started at 8 o'clock last night and last
3D. ten hours. Burlington train No.
~, with 10 days mail, express and
freight for the beleaguered towns of
Bird City and St. Francis, was caught
nalf a mile east of Mcdonald, and
svery effort to bring in the train has
20 far proved futile.
The Burlington officials ordered a
snow pillow with a double header that
aad barely reached St. Francis to4turn
back and relieve the train. The pillow
mad gone but a short distance when it
was stalled and the train is still in a
lrift 500 feet long and from four to
ave feet deep. The train just missed
being caught in the Brakeman cut,
which is 70 feet deep, and if it had
been stalled there the entire train
would doubtless have been completely
buried in the snow.
Much suffering exists at half of TIT
towns within a radius of 40 miles,
many Of the people having been short
pf fuel and provisions for 10 days.

Washington, April 6-The opinion
prevails among officials here that the
excitement existing in Japan over
the Manohurian question and the talk
of ultimatums is all based upon a
statement Of affairs that existed be-
fore the delivery of Russia's note yes
terday to Secretary Hay. A simple
calculation assures them that the
Japanese could not have known of the
last note when the belligerent publica-
tions were made in Japan. 1t is
thoroughly believed that when the
tenure of the note is learned and the
Japanese find that the proposed secret
treaty has been abandoned they will
accept the situation with satisfaction.
Sonoer or later this note is sure to find
publicity, for it is necessary to make
up the record Of the case, but the time
is not now suspicious. =

TURBULENT RUSSIA
Numbers Of Unemployed
Likely to Cause Much
Trouble.

London, April Ga dispatch from
st. Petersburg says that Lieutenant
General Viasemski, a member of the
council OF the empire, who was re-
Gently severely reprimanded by the
czar for his protests against the con-
duct Of the police during the recent
student demonstrations, has left
Russia to avoid the consequences
which would result socially. He is
regarded officially as almost a con-
spirator.
The stoppage of the works in the
province of Eketranoslav has caused
10, 900 workingmen to become idle.
The government, with a view to pre-
venting disorders, political agitators
being busy, is seeing the unemployed
gratuitously to the places whence they
originally came. The clerks, or fac.
tors, in Khrakof have produced much
unrest there and trouble is likely to
occur during the Easter festival, not
only in tho district of Eketranoslav
and Khrakoff, but also in the factory
quarters of st. Petersburg, lula,
Moscow and Brinsk. where work is
almost at a %standstill.

SATISFIED WOUNDED HONOR.
Cossack and Hungarian Settle Dispute
with Swords.

Nice, April 5-In the duel fought
on the frontier of Monaco yesterday
between Count Kontonzofa Tolstoy, a
lieutenant in a Cossack regiment, and
Count Tarnowski, secretary of the
Austro-H Hungarian legation at Washing
ton, the seconds were Prince
Korohguibey and Prince Podorani,
for Count Tolstoy and Counts Rohozin-
sky and Ronickes for Count Tarnowski.
The seconds selected an umpire who
decided that owing to the gravity of
the effense, the honor of the principals
required the use Of pistol first and
then swords. The meeting was in con-
sequence of a public alteration, the
cause Of which is not known. Two
shots were exchanged without a hit
and in the first assault with swords
Count Tarnowski was wounded in the
forearm.
