forbade her the use of her books, and
in that only she would not obey him.
For a nature like hers to die men
tally or even stagnate was impossible
She was above him as the stars she
loved were above her, and she knew
it, and he knew it also; he hated her
for ii.
She was a school teacher. and as
school teachers did not thrive that side
of the mountain he offered her home,
and she accepted his offer, believing
him noble because of this generous
act, as women will believe Of the men
they love until they have been proved
otherwise, when the sweet If rather
blind faith in them can never return
once being destroyed.
Her daughter inherited her nature
only in far higher degree. Her hus-
band knew it, and the neighbors knew
it. Never, however, did the girls
father know that her mothers books
were her constant companions; that
she lived in them and on them; that
nearly every word of theirs was known
to her by heart.
Betsy Glenn had been her mothers
schoolmate and friend. Betsy Glenn
taught Dolores with all the power she
was capable. She had long been dead,
but the seed she sowed grew and
grew; some time it would ripen and
bear fruit.
Had her father known of this he
would have stopped it from the first.
He did not know it, for he had never
taken enough interest in her to know
1t. Had he asked her she would have
told him, but he never asked.
The jealousy he had already felt to,
ward his wife for her love of books
seethed and scorched in his heart as
he stood facing her daughter and his.
She possessed not one of his traits;
the mothers nature had deepened ten
| fold in his daughter.

Japan to Wait
Until October
Should Russio Then Fail TO Get
Out, Action Will Be Taken

London: Japan has decided to OBJ
serve the policy Of waiting and watch
lng Russia, advocated by Great Brit
ain. In the meantime, she will urge
China to carry out the assurances CIV
en- to the United States respecting
Manchuria, and will endeavor to OBJ
tain the opening Of additional ports.
At the Japanese Legation here, the
following statement was made by an
official:
81 can assure you, that talk of war
between Russia and Japan is an inyen-
ton. Japan has not the least inten-
ton of taking that course. She pro
poses to wait. Japan and America are
acting on the same lines, and 1t would
be difficult for any other power to
withstand the pressure they and Great
Britain could apply"
1t is said that Japan intends to do
nothing till October, when the final
evacuation of Manchuria must occur.
The failure of Russia to withdraw
from Manchuria would be followed by

Valet g. r. Jones is
Said to Be Dead
Principal Witness Against Patrick in Rice Murder
Case Was Last Heard From in Texas

New York: II the Court Of Appeals
grants a new trial to Albert T. Pat
rick, now under sentence Of death for
murder, 1t is improbable that he can
be convicted a second time, as Charles
+. Jones, the valet who confessed that
he murdered his employer, William
Marsh Rice. and who was the chief
witness against Patrick, has disap-
peared and is believed to be dead.
Conflicting reports concerning Jones
have reached the District Attorneys
offce for some time past. George
Gordon Battle Of counsel for Lawyer
Patrick has been informed that Jones
is dead. The valet, Mr.. Battle said
Friday, was Ill with consumption when
the trial of Patrick was concluded and
was not expected to live long. Mr..
Battle did not care to state where his
advices came from.
There is no information in the pos
session of the District Attorney to dis
prove what Mr.. Battle says. Assist
ant District Attorney Garvin, who
kept track of Jones until some time
ago, has not heard from him in
months, and the last time Jones wrote
to Mr. Garvan was from Texas, where
he had gone to secure employment.

500 Typhoid Gases

Said to BE Caused BIS, Drinking
Infected Water

Kansas City, Mo-: The typhoid sit
uation in Kansas City is becoming
serious, principally as a result OF the
flood. Saturday there were SO cases
in the five leading hospitals, and it is
estimated that the aggregate number
OF cases in town was 300. More than
20 deaths have occurred within a few
days and dozen of the hospital pa
tents can not live. In almost every
case the doctors are of the opinion
that the typhoid fever is due to drink
ing infected water. For upward OF
three weeks the city water was cut

CHAPTER
The an.

The Girl.
The day was dreary when she was
corn, not only because the rain was
falling In a drizzling fashion and a
mist hung over tho hills, but because
she was born. Her mother, having
a soft heart, felt all her tenderness
awaking for her weak daughter, and
gathered her into her arms with half
plying caress. But her mother did
not live long, and some Of her friends
went so far as to say that It was well
she did not, for she would have spoiled
the girl.
Her father-well, there was no dan.
ger Of her father spelling the girl
WIN tenderness. He considered her
birth one OF the blows fate dealt him,
and he said he had had many blows
from fate. He said fate was against
him; people said he was shiftless; they
said also that there was hardly a
doubt that the girl would be the same.
None Of the JohnsOns amounted to
much-at least that branch OF the fam
EF. Lemuel Johnson, this mans
brother, was rich, rumor said, and they
did not blame him for having nothing
to do with his shittless brother. He
sived in a fine house in New York;
WAS enterprising and shrewd; how
could anyone blame him for dropping
this ne'er-do-well brother?
His brother thought differently.
Lemuel was rich; fate had been good
20 him; It was but right that he should
help him; II was an unheard OF thing
that he had never offered to help him,
especially when this added burden was
laid upon his already too heavily laden
shoulders. OF what good to him was
q girl? Girls were OF little use. Had
she been a boy-but she was not
boy. and she was motherlcss from the
time she was three weeks old.
With a pathetic appreciation of the
fitness of things her mother named
her Dolores. And from the time she
was taken from the dying mothers
arms her large brown eyes, shaded
by long curling lashes. looked out upon
the world with a strange gravity and
a knowledge of what it meant to be
brought into the world unwelcome and
runloVed.
She seldom cried. She never cooed
as other and happier babies do. And
as she grew older silence grew upon
her. She said little and the neighbors
seldom ran in to gossip with her as they
did with each other, for there was
no use; she took no interest in them
or their gossip; no one could talk
easily with her eyes upon them. So
when she grew old enough to attend
TO the household matters herself, they
left her alone; even the children of
her own age dropped her as though
she had been dead.
She was an excellent cook, and kept
THE house WELL In these things her
father had no fault to find. He sci
dom spoke to her; If the food were
we'll cooked he never found fault; he
never praised 1t or her; he ate his
meals in silence, and went out of the
house. She saw him only at meal
times; his evenings were spent at the
tavern; hers were spent at home

was SO years old before he had hair
cut, and that he win never be shaved
again, unless 1t is done by an under
taker.

Jones kept his promise, but was

its decision will be rendered 1t is, OF

that 1t was divine Institution.
Miss Kearney drew an optimistic pic
ture of the country when the white

braced the entire land and then those
who are opposing temperance will, like
the southern people ask, Is 1t possible
that ever opposed this movement?
"Would to God that Ohio, the state
that gave so many presidents and will
furnish more. would step forth and en-
brace prohibition. 1t would be the
noblest thing she could do. People
should ask how the Lord would vote

Church people were urged to vote
right. Between right and wrong there
is no debating ground. An appeal was
made to the young women to save the

The preachers got little attention
from the speaker. 'They go to confer
