up at him and at Mrs. Mason, who
followed close behind him, but con-
tnued the reading of her book.
Quincy said lightly, as he reached
over and took the right hand and
gave it a little shake. you're not
shaking hands with the left, Miss
Mason"
NO" said Huldy. 81 wish could
shake it, but nurse says it will have
to stay on for two or three weeks,
and it is SO heavy, Mr.. Saw
yer"
Mrs Mason went to the nurse and
whispered TO her, Don't let him stay
too long" The nurse nodded and Mrs.
Mason left the room.
Quincy said in low tone as he sat
in the chair by the bids;de: Miss
Mason, ! cannot express my sorrow
for this unfortunate occurrence. Your
mother says you have told her 1t was
your fault. But l insisted it was my
fault in allowing you to drive a strange
horse.'
Huldy smiled. at wasn't the horse
changing the subject, she asked:
Where are you going to board
now"
"Old Uncle Ike Petteneill has taken
pity on me-" replied Quinc", thinking
he would not say anything about go
ing to Ezekiel Pettengill's house.
But" said Huldy, Ezekiel called
here this morning before he went to
Boston for his sister and told me that
Uncle Ike was coming to live with
him. Didn't ] hear them take your
trunk away little while ago?"
Quincy saw it was useless to pre-
varicate, so he said: MY trunk was
taken to Mr. Ezekiel Pettengil's
house."
81 hope you and Ezekiel will be good
friends" said Hubby, with a grave look
on her face.
Il trust we may become so" re-
not now, and I am still more afraid
it is my fault that we are not on the
best of terms"
HuIdy turned her face towards him,
a red flush coloring her cheeks and
brow. NO" she said, with vehem-
ence, sit was my fault, and you know
it, Mr.. Sawyer. How you must hate
me for having caused you so much
trouble" She gave a convulsive sob
| and burst into flood of tears.
Quincy was on the point of assuI-
| ing Hubby that he could never hate
| her and that they would always be
| good friends, but he had no opportu-
| nifty to frame the words
| As Hubby sobbed and began to cry
| the nurse jumped to her feet, dropped
| her book to the floor. and came quick
| ly to the bedside. She said nothing
| but the look upon her face convinced
| Quincy that he must wait for a more
| auspicious moment to declare his
| friendly sentiment. SO with Good
| by, Miss Mason, I'll come again soon,
| he quilted the apartment and left
| the victim to the ministration of the
| nurse.

ENaLAND's, INCONSISTENCY.
Dickinson's, Strong Speech Before
 Boundary, Commission.


 London, Oct. 6s--On entering this morr- ing on the third day of his argument before the Alaskan boundary commission. Jacob M. Dickinson, of counsel for the United States. summed up the question Of the Portland canal line, declaring that the American contention was the usual. simple, natural and consistent method of determining the boundary, while Great Br1tain's contention arbitrarily changed tne direction of the line through the ca- nal to the 56th parallel and introduced a new direction in the boundary line. un- provided for in the treaty, and which in- stead of carrying the line direct to the 56th parallel. only seven miles distant, carried the line sixty miles to the coast before reaching that parallel
 Counsel denied Attorney General Fin lays and Solicitor General Carson's ar- gument that the tribunal had no power to determine what constituted the coast. IT that was true the proceedings might as well have not been commenced, for an answer to every question submitted required determination in regard to what constituted the coast.
 Dealing with the British argument that Article of the treaty of 1925 applied only to the Lisiere Cor strip which Russia was to obtain by the treaty., MT. Dickinson quoted Chief Justice Alverstone's and the late Lord RusselPs arguments as show ing that they as counsel for Great Britain at the fur seal arbitration of 1893, took exactly the opposite view from that now advanced by Attorney General Finlay and Solicitor General Carson. Counsel said he was surprised at Great Britain's change of attitude on the Lisiere question with. out addueing any new grounds therefor Lord Alverstone listened with evident amusement to MT. Dickinson's use of the interpretations which he and the late Lord Russell of Kilowen, the former Chief Justice, formerly urged in Paris.
 The commission then adjourned for the day and proceeded to the memorial ser. vice of the late Michael Herbert.

Burton Back From Europe.

 .'"The United States has 9. lot to learn, Tn the mater of waterway improvement rom Europe" said MT. Burton. "Fhe aggre' gate expenditures at London and Liver pool alone exceed the total sum expended in this country by many thousands Liv- erpool alone has O0OO,0O0 worth of i'm provements, while at London the expendi- ture cannot be estimated. The most ex- tensive improvement in the United States Is in New York harbor, where little over 5000. 900 was appropriated. Calves ton comes next with a like expenditure" "

Kansas City. Oct e,--An investigation of alleged boodling on the Board of Edu. cation of Kansas City, Kas., promises to end in sensational disclosures
 A grand jury may be asked to probe the matter. The admission of M. ]. Jones, clerk of the board. that he had received rebates from insurance agents on pre- miums paid by the board for insurance on school buildings. has started an investi- gation of charges of boodling in other lines. A member of the commission as- serted today that he has positive proof that several teachers in the public schools have been forced to pay from $5 to $So before being guaranteed appointment Other teachers upon making application for reelection had, 1t Is said. been so- licited for money in consideration of get ting a guarantee that they would receive the votes of certain members Of the board.

BERLIN NOT SURPRISED.
German PoIice's View of Attempt
 on Presidents Life. 's

Berlin, Oct. 6.-The department or police has noted without astonishment the several instances recently of danger to the hfe of President Roosevelt only
 wondering that they have been so few and so evidently without intelligent direc- tion.
 Inquiries show that the arrests of per
 sons suspected of designs against mem bers of the imperial family average one daily. The arrests are rarely reported in
 the newspapers and then only against
 the wishes of the police, but the latter
 believe the mere mention of such arrests
 prompts i'll regulated minds to plan kill ing the sovereign.
 Quite fifty definite clews to such plots have been investigated during the last
 night months largely upon anonymous declarations. The members of the im-
 perial family, however, are so hedged in
 by police precautions, that it is difficult for mentally diseased persons to get near them.

SETTLED THEIR DIFFERENCES
Western Railroads Come to a Full Agreameut

western Railroads Come to Full Agreement Chicago. Oct. e.-western railroads have settled their differences regarding mileage and rate questions and the chances are fair for the ultimate return of the Rock Island to membership in the Western Passenger Association, and 8 restoration of harmony. The mileage question was settled by the amalgamatton of the three existing mileage bureaus and the adoption of three mileage tickets. which will result in test of the merits of the credentials system as against 8 mileage book good on trains. The three mileage books which twill be placed on sale in all western territory on and after December 1 are as follows:
 First-A new 4.00o-mile interchangeable credential book which must be honored by all roads in the amalgamated bureau.
 Second-The present 2.OO0 mile inter- changeable credential book. the use of which is optional.
 Third-A new 2.o0O-mile book good on trains. use being optional.
 All roads must use ticket No. 1 and must choose between Nos and 3. The compromise permits the Rock Island to retain its 2.o00-mile credential ticket. also permits other roads to use proposed book good on trains. and by the substitution of new 4,000-mile ticket. The two systems are fairly pitted against each other.
