CHAPTER Xxx.
Subhi Sadi.z.

The dawn of a new day was graying
over the capital city and the newsboys
were crying Justify in the streets when
David Kent felt his way up the dark
staircases of the Kittleton building to
knock at the door of Judge Oliver Mar
ston's rooms on the top floor. He was
the bearer of tidings and he made no
more than a formal excuse for the un-
seernly hour when the door was opened
by the Lieutenant Governor.
'T am sorry to disturb you, Judge
Marston," he began, when he had
closed the door at his back and was
facing the tall thin figure in flannel
dressing gown and slippers, but l
imagine I'm only few minutes ahead
of the crowd. Have you heard the news
of the night?"
The Judge pressed the button of the
droplight and waved his visitor to a
chair.
Il have heard nothing. Mr.. Kent
Have a cigar?"-passiDg the box OF
unutterable stogies.
Thank you; not before breakfast"
was the hasty reply. Then, without
another word OF preface: Judge Mar
ston, for the time being you ara the
Governor Of the State and have come
to-"
"One moment" interrupted his lis
tener. There are some stories that
read better for a foreword, however
brief What has happened?"
This: last night il Was-the purpose
Of Governor Bucks and Receiver Gull
ford TO go to Castor by special train.
In some manner, which has not yet
been fully explained. there was a con-
fusion of orders. Instead Of proceeding
eastward the special was switched to
the tracks Of the western division; was
made the first section of the fast mail,
which had orders to run through with
out stop. You can imagine the result"
Marston got upon his feet slowly and
began pacing the length of the long
room. Kent waited, and the shrill cries
Of the newsboys floated up and in
through the open windows. When the
judge finally came back to his chair the
saturnine face was gray and haggard.
Il nope ii was an accident that can
be clearly proved" he said: and a mo-
ment later: You spoke of Bucks and

had the line of direction he knelt in the

down to stand beside him.

Each passing day adds to the pro-

eous fighters. They realize that the
honor of the nation is at stake and
they go into battle with a will. The
Japanese, on the other hand, have
absolutely no fear OF death. To die
in battle is to them a passport to
heaven. With two such irresistible
forces in opposition there is little
wonder that bloody battles are being
fought. Losses of 0 OF humid
reds attract little attention now, for
the dead are being counted by thou
sands.
In all respects the war is the blood
lest in modern times and before it
is over it will probably rank in his
tory with the Prussian war
Of 1901 for ierceness.
One of the most remarkable Incl
dents OF the wal is the relief from

refusing to retreat when overwhelm- !

The Editors

The Kansas editorial association
met in Lawrence on Monday and
Tuesday of this week. There was
not very full attendance.
A number of topics of interest to
the craft were discussed, some of
them with considerable enthusiasm
especially the free lunches. The
exercises the flst day were of rather
cold nature. The temperature of
the hall seemed to be about 10 be
low. A number of the editors we're
excusable for their humbleness in
taking seats on the floor. The hool
was thoroughly waxed and smooth
as glass. 1t was quite amusing
when Col. Anthony or some other
enthusiastic orator was growing
eloquent over the virtues of the
newspaper fraternity and his audi
ence was becoming breathless with
excitement and enthusiasm, to have
a chair slip and feel the hall shake
as though Japanese torpedo had
exploded i'll the immediate vicinity
and on investigation find that a
heavy weight had simply taken a
seat on the floor.
The people of Lawrence did their
part well. They treated the editors
with all courtesy and turned the
city over to them. We were wei
coined by the Mayor and toasted
and dined by the citizens. We
were shown the University, the
crown jewel of Kansas educational
institutions. We heard the pipe
organ and the college yell and list
ened to Prof. Dysche's hunting
stories.
We we're driven from the Univer-
sity to Haskell Institute and intro
duced to the Indians. This is a
wonderful institution, built and
maintained by the U. S. govern
ment for the exclusive benefit Of the
