MADONNA OF THE
TENDER HEART
Continued from Page 10

experienced satisfaction Tor Which he
could have given no adequate reason.
For one delightful hour he allowed his
heart to have its way, and then, as he
held her hands at parting, he swore to
himself that this should be the last.
AS she stood with him moment at the
door feeble wall was borne to them
on the icy night wind.
What was that" she asked, with
startled eyes.
Something feline, I should presume"
he laughed. Don't be frightened
Whatever it is, it is in distress" she
said, and peered out into the darkness.
Not necessarily. They cry like that
even when we'll and happy"
Don't tell me that" with a shake of
her brilliant head. Il have rescued too
many forsaken little things not to recog-
nize that as cry for help"
She ran out into the storm, and came
back presently, a sorry sight, the
gauze of her gown torn and the mud of
the streets upon her skirt and hands;
but there was the true Madonna light in
her eyes, the God-pity of the eternal
motherhood of love shining in her face.
From the warm shelter of her soi1ed
arms two fierce animal eyes looked out in
terror, accusing man the destroyer.
1t was not a fluffy, interesting kitten,
whose youth might appeal to anyone;
it had left it's kittenhood a long way
behind fierce, beaten driven existence;
and now, broken and bleeding, it believed
it had reached it's miserable end.
As the woman bent tenderly above
the wounded animal, Cressey fought down
an impulse to take her in his arms. She
was an adventures who had spread her
net to insnare young millionaire!
A moment more-only a moment!
What did it matter? He was with her
tonight as he should not be with her
again. He could almost believe tonight
that she might love man without the
thought of money. Oh that money! that
money! But he had promised to be fair
in the placing of it. His fancy must not
be allowed to lead him to succumb to
the wiles of an adventures
The injured animal looked up into the
woman's eyes and moaned piteously.
If | had power" she cried bitterly,
81 would expend it in forcing the world
to broader humanity. l would teach
youth to abhor suffering. 1t is the
savage left in the boy which leads him to
torture things like this. Later, when he
is grown, he will boast of his skill at
pigeon-shoots, while his mangled victims
crawl off to die in agony. l would like
to be able to pass law making it death
penalty for any man or boy unnecessarily
to torture either bird or beast. L"
She broke off to laugh Historically.
Cressey was beaten. He had no
longer any wish to control his love. He
came toward her; but she warded him
off peremptorily.
Go away!" she said. Il don't want
you to bother me now. l must save
this poor creature or put it out of misery"
What will you do with it," he asked,
adoring her with his eyes,
"Oh, don't know-add it to my
menagerie if it lives, poor, battered, suf-
fering thing! | have a dozen or more
such waits l have done what l could;
but, oh, how little one person can do
toward alternating the pain of a world"

Travelling statesmen and others who
have recently visited New .Ulm, say
that the little city is again excited over
the prospects Of an arrest in connec-
ton with the murder of DR.. Louis Geb-
hardt last November. -s g..
Friends of DR.. George R. Koch, who
was tried three times and at last found
not guilty, have been employing expert
last trial they have been working
to have been found and some Of these
point strongly to the guilt of a certain
resident of New Ulm. The detectives
have refused to give out any definite
Information, but they do not deny that
the case is progressing. -.
q DR.. Koch, who now has his office il
the Medical block, says he has not beer
notified Of the developments in the case
but that his friends are still working
The work is left entirely in their hands
and he did not show any surprise whe1
told that there were many rumors con
corning another arrest. He said h,
woul d probably be notified shortly i:

MAY REACH COMPROMISE

A conference that may bring about
a settlement in the present difficulty
between the city of Minneapolis and
the Great Northern railroad was held
yesterday afternoon in the Office Of
the city attorney between Alderman A.
3. Merrill of the fourth ward, presi-
dent of the council, and General Man
ager F. E.. Ward of the railroad. While
no definite agreement was reached, the
conference may bring about counter
proposition of some sort.
The meeting yesterday was the re-
suit Of another meeting earlier in the
day in the mayors office. At the invi-
tation Of the mayor, Aldermen Merrill
and Starkweather Of the fourth ward,
Holmes and Hertig Of the fifth and
Chatfeld, chairman Of the council com
mittee, on railroads, met with Mayor
Jones to discuss the situation. -
Representing these men Mr.. Merrill
met Mr.. Ward yesterday and until each
has had an opportunity to confer with
his associates the outcome cannot be
made public. Each had suggestions to
offer and it is believed that comprom-
Use was arrived at, that each agreed to
| submit to his associates. Alderman Mer-
| rill refused to admit that counter
| proposition was received and said that
until he could confer with other mem
| bers of the council he should say moth
| ing regarding the results Of the con-
ference.

AUTO THIEVES NOT 49,. az.
STEALING FOR FUN

Four automobiles have been taken
since Saturday night under circumstances
that point strongly to an attempt to
make off with them for good. Two have
been recovered in good condition. One
is still missing, and one will have to
spend a week or so in the repair shop.
Last night about 10 o'clock Charles G..
Ireys' Cadillac was taken from in front
of Plymouth church. The police found it
' today on Fifteenth street between First
and Second avenues S. Outwardly 1t
seemed all right, but an attempt to bring
it in under it's own power disclosed ser1-
GUS trouble. @
Just before midnight last night ma
chine belonging to the Advance Sign
company was taken from Sixth street
S, between Nicollet and Hennep1n
avenues. It was located today in a COW
pasture at the south end Of Fifth ave-
nue.. The police have no clue. r..
The Ford car belonging to William Har-
rison, which was taken from in front OF
the Western Union office Sunday night
is still missing. ~.
E. J. OBrien who lost and recovered
his car Saturday night, said today: Il
think there is regular attempt to steal
and dispose of automobiles. My car
was driven to st. Paul, taken to lum-
Der yard concealed between two piles
| of lumber and covered over with boards.
If some people nearby had not seen the
thieves concealing it they would prob
ably have made a safe getaway.
ut is not at all difficult to steal a
machine. People as familiar with auto
mobiles as those who took mine could
easily repaint it, destroy the identifying
marks and then ship it to some second
hand dealer, say in Chicago, from some
one of the smaller towns within an easy
nights run from Minneapolis. 1t woulc
be practically impossible to trace suct
a machine" .,1-'-

Congressman Thomas Marshall Of
Cakes, N. D., who is at the Hotel Nicol-
let today. In company with eight
other congressman, Mr.. Marshall spent
two weeks in Arizona to investigate
to come up again this winter in con-

MIt was the opinion Of our party"
said he, "that it would be absolutely
unfair to force this upon the people Of
Arizona. Almost to man the people
of the territory are up in arms against
the plan. The principal objection is
one Of politics. The Mexican and
greaser' vote would dominate in the
combined state, and that would mean
everything that is not wanted. There
many as there are Italians in North
Dakota-but New Mexico is full of
them. It is, therefore, easy to see why
Arizona objects.
"Our party was greatly pleased and
surprised to see the rapid strides Ari-
iona is making and the wonderful de-
velopment and richness of her resour-
ces. Their cities are as fine as can be
found anywhere and are thoroly up-to-

"We advised the people with whom
we talked not to worry, but to wait
a few years. In that time their popu
lation will have considerably increased
and the territory can make demand
for statehood that will be needed. The
people of the entire territory are
aroused and alive to the question. We
were entertained and shown every at

The actions of the small boys did not

be left at home. This was out Of the
question and the function has been in
definitely postponed. j
