Clara Sc levanto LENA de an
gustia y, como de costumbre,
volvio a sentarse a los pocos mo.
mentos. La atenaceaba ell re-
mordimiento de haber abando-
nado a la pobre Berta sin decir-
lie una palabra. Durante vein
ticuatro horas su desdichada
amiga debia sufrir sola y sin
cousuelo, creyendo tai vez en- la
traicion de la amistad, 10 mismo
que en- la del amor.
Clara penso telegra6ar, pero
renuncio a clio por tenor de po-
ner sobre aviso a los criados, q
los indiferentes yal marido cul-
pable.
Rennncio, pues, al telegrama
" aplaz6 la carta para ell dia ST
.guiente. Esta resolucion lie de-
volvio la tranquilidad por espa-
clio de un dia.
Al siguiente Sc puso a escri-
bir, deseosa de encontrar pala-
bras E ideas que, por cierto, no
acudfan a su mente. Necesita-
ba encontrar una justification a
aquel retraso y no daba con
ella.
Despues almorzo Ell su cuarto
sin aretito alguno y partio Ell
correo sin su carta.
A las cuarenta y ocho horas
de haber llegado la carta de Ber-
ia, recibio otra concebida asi:
"lPor que no me has escrito7
iTambien til me abandonas7... :.
lEstoy local Pablo me acaricia,
y sus manifestations de afecto
me repugnan. Me doy miedo a
mi misma. TIE abraza tn amiga,
Berta."
Clara. hondamente, emociona-
|da, corri0 hacia su mesa y cogio
I'm pliego de papel.
En- aquel momento entro su
marido.
-El coche esta euganchado y
nuestros amigos tie esperan para
salir. tEn que estabas pensandol
Clara no tuvo mas remedio
que transigir y abandonar la ha-
bitaci6n en- compafia de su
marido.
Al dia siguiente lego una ter
|cers carta de Berta.
"iSiempre 10 mismoI IPor que
no me escriben2. -. Estoy can.
sada de la vida. iQue dichosos
son los m4ertos! mo has tenido
piedad de mi! mo puedo mas!-
Berta
Entcnces fue cuando COM
prendio Clara el peligro que CO.
rria su amiga. Berta era capaz
de suicidarse, y esta idea la lie
naba d. terror. Clara Sc consi-
dero complice de un crimen CO.
metido por pereza y cobardia.
Inmediatamente sc puso a es.
cribir, y bajo ell peso de su falta
no hi<o mas que consignar pre-
Itextos para disculparse.
Despues almorzo alegremente
en- coHpafiia de sus huespedes

-Espere usted un instante.

rasg6 el papel y Sc echo q llorar
FL correo partio sin la carta.
AL cuarto dia no tuvo noticias
de Berta.
LENA de inquietud, escribio
al fin a su amiga una carta con-
movedoIa y en- extreme tierna.
en- la que, sin discurparse de su
tardanza, la invitaba a que fue-
ra a pasar unos dias con ella,
asegurandole que la consolarfa.
De pronto entro Clemencia en-
ell tocador de Clara y dijo a su
senora:
I'm telegrama.
tan de pronto!. -.
Clara abrio el despacho y le-
yo 10 siguiente:
"Espantosa desgracia. Berta
Sc ha ahogado esta maflana en-
ell estanque. Acabamos de sa-
car del aqua su cadaver. Estoy
aterrado.

Upon the Track in Front of the
Worlds Fair Special.

Warrensburg, Mo-, Oct 12.-The
crew of the extra freight train which
collided with the Missouri Pacific
worlds fair train yesterday, resulting
in the death of twenty-nine persons, is
held responsible for the disaster by
the coroner's jury, which returned a
verdict last night.
The verdict charges the members OF
the crew with disobeying orders and
with being asleep at their post of duty.
County Prosecuting Attorney Nor
row said last night he would immedt-
ately begin the prosecution of the per-
sons charged.
Three Were Asleep.
The evidence before the coroner's
jury showed that three of the freight
crew went to sleep and failed to know
that the i'll fated passenger had not
gone by before they started out from
Montserrat.
Dispatcher Foresees Trouble.
The examination of w. w. McVey.
night operator at Montserrat. brought
out the fact that the train dispatcher
at Sedalia ordered out wrecking crews
section men, and doctors before the
two trains came together.
Engineer Admits, Perhaps.
Engineer Horton of the extra freight
acknowledged that he had mistaken
train No. so for the second section OF
No. 80. He was positive that foul
trains east bound had passed, and II
he was asleep at any time while the
train was on the siding he did moi
know it.
II was drowsy," he said, "but dom
think was asleep. If | was asleep
was sitting up straight in the cab O
my engine"

1t is now decided that R. P Conger,
minister to China, will soon after cleo
ton, be succeeded by W. w. Rockhill,
chief of the bureau of American re-
publics. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Con-
ger may quit public life entirely, but
it is also said that ne will be given
another post Mr.. Rockhill is consider
ed the governm ent's mainstay in the
Chinese matter and in the present
state of affairs in the east the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay want him on
the ground. The change has been con-
sidered for several months but it was
decided not to have Conger step out
until after the election, so as not to
risk any disturbance in political cir
cles If Mr.. Roosevelt should be de-
feated Mr.. Conger will probably be al
lowed to remain till Judge Parker shall
have entered the White House next
March
Entitled to Another Place.
1t is admitted that Conger's dis
tinguished services during the Boxer
troubles and his strong political back
ing in Iowa entities him to another
berth and he will probably get 1t If
he SO desires, but few posts as good
as Pekin are available Little has
been said lately regarding the trouble
between Hay and Conger but it is vel
known that the administration thinks
Rockhill the man for the place and is
determined to put him there.
