He stared at this letter for an hour,
trying to grasp the mystery that lay
back of its hating, contradictory
sentences. He did not know till long
afterwards that the general had written
that letter with two blue eyes tearfully
watching him and waiting to read it;
that now and then there was the sound
of great sob and two arms were around
his neck, and a still white face lying on
Mis- shoulder and that tears had washed
all the harshness and emphasis out of
what he had meant to write, and all but
blotted out any meaning to what he did
write.
But withal it was clear enough in it's
import. 1t meant that the general had
haltingly but authoritatively denied his
suit. He instantly made up his mind to
ask an interview at his home, and know
plainly all his reasons for this change of
attitude. He wrote his letter and posted
it Immediately by return mail. He knew
that the request would precipitate a
crisis, and he trembled at the outcome.
Either her father would hesitate and re-
ceive him, or end it with a crash of his
imperious will.

ASKING FOR INFORMATION
JIM YOUNGER WANTS TO KNOW

Petitions Governor for Ruling on the
Right of ParoIed Convict

st. Paul, March 19.-Jim Younger
has petitioned Governor Van SAINT for
ruling as to his right to marry. In
his petition the ex-life convict does
not say who he desires to wed. but
simply asks for ruling as to his
eligibility to the role of benedict.
Under the law Younger, as a life pris-
oner on parole has no right to enter
into civil contract OF amy descrip-
ton.
It is known that since his release
from Saltwater, his relations with a
well known St. Paul young woman
have been such as usually lead to
matrimony, and, in fact, announce
ments have been made of an engage
ment.
Governor Van SAINT has no right to
grant the permission sought by Young
er. The only way in which such a
marriage could be legally solemnized
would be through the board of con-
troll acting as sponsor for Younger,

NOUNCEMENT IN PARLIAMENT
At Least the British General is Under

London, March 13.-Broderick an
nounced in commons today that Me-
thuen had been released according to
a report, and was expected to arrive
at Klerksdorp today. The generals
condition is favorable. The exchange
of Methuen for Kritzinger had not
been contemplated. The trial of the
commandant had been postponed since
the evidence was not ready.
Healy, amid nationalist cheers, in
vited the government to show equal
magnanimity and release Kritzinger.
Broderick said subsequently that
the telegram did not say specifically
that Methuen had been released, but
from the fact that he was in charge of
a British medical officer it was pre-
sumed that the general had been re-
leased.
