cleared and the train r1n ON to Chi
cago. 1t was Thursday. and in four
hours Norahs train would leave for
Florida. 1t was utterly impossible for
the officer to get his prisoner to Fort
Sherman and to return in time to say
good-by to his fiancee.
Kavanaugh and his charge stepped
from the train into the Chicago depot.
Bob's heart was sore. 81 must see her."
he said to himself. 81 can't stand it
for six months" At that instant he
saw at the depot cigar stand, making
purchase, Jack Bacon, a Chicago club
man and an intimate friend. Kav-
anaugh hurried his charge over toward
the young fellow. Jack, old man, glad
to see you. You have an hour or two
to spare, ! know you have; don't say
no." and with this the lieutenant
grabbed his friend by the arm, mo-
tioning his prisoner to walk ahead, and
the three went on a half trot into the
office of a hotel across the street. Kav-
anaugh threw a two-dollar bill before
tie clerk and ordered a room. He hur-
ried the astonished Jack Bacon and the
prisoner into the apartment on the
second floor.
Jack" said Kavanaugh, in a low
tone, "as you love me, watch this man.
I must see Norah Desmond. She's off
for Florida. Take this gun, and don't
fail me-" and with that First Lieut..
Robert Emmett Kavanaugh showed
revolver into Jack Bacon's hand, bolted
through the door. out of the hotel, and
on to n trolley car. In 90 minutes he
was with Norah Desmond, who was in
the midst of the last hour of prepara
tion for her Florida trip.
In 90 minutes more the doorbell of the
fat rung violently. The maid opened it.
and in rushed Jack Bacon, flushed and
fairly beside himself. Bob, he
yelled. "your prisoner skipped. He
kicked open a door into the next room
and jumped onto a low roof and then
into the alley. 1 took pot shot at
him, but missed, and when l got down
he was clean gone"
Bob Kavanaugh sank into a chair,
his face pale. Nora" he said, "this
means court-martial and dismissal for
me, unless 1 can catch the fellow. It's
n clean case of neglect of duty, awful
neglect of duty, and old Muggs doesn't
love me any too well anyway. It's
all up, dear, if 1 don't get him, and If
I'm kicked out of the army, don't
know what I'll do. 1 can't even dig a
ditch, though I'd try willingly enough
for you. But this won't catch him.
I'm off, but I'll be at the train to say
good-by," and Kavanaugh was out of
the door and down the stairs four
steps at time.

Just then from behind him came
voice loud and with something of ring

his left was holding that of a very

MUCH REJOICING.

On Tuesday night there was
much rejoicing in the city by the
antl-dispensary people, and the
city was stirred from center to
circumference by the blowing of
whistles, the footing of horns the
ringing of bells and a big bonfire
in the Lee-Grant ball park. The
city band entertained the people
with excellent music while the
small boy yelled himself hoarse.

sides.

in our city, Bishop Turner, man

His skin was dark, though not
black, and he addressed a large

ones.
But whatever, his color, he is a
man--strong and handsome,

He was unable to accept the
cordial invitation extended to
preach in the Central Methodist
church, Sunday evening, and the
public were doubtless the losers
of rich intellectual and spiritual
feast.
