''Ill!' repeated Jenkinson, in evident
surprise. But is she ill?"
"She's your patient, isn't she? I
thought you were the family doctor"
$50 am" assented the other. "But
! haven't seen Miss Holiday for ten
days or two weeks. At that time she
seemed quite well-a little nervous,
perhaps, and worried, but certainly
not requiring medical attention. She
has always been unusually robust"
Mr.. Royce stopped, perplexed. AS for
me, my head was in whirl again
'I'n tell you the story" he said at
last. II should like the benefit of your
advice" And he recounted rapidly the
facts of Miss Holidays illness, in SO
far as he knew them, ending with an
statement of the maid that her mis-
tress was under doctors care. Jen-
kinson heard him to the end without
interrupting, but he was plainly puz-
zled and annoyed.
''And you say she looked very il?"
he asked.
''Oh, very ill, sir; alarmingly i'll, to
my Impractical eyes. She seemed thin
and worn. She could scarcely talk,
she had such a cough. I hardly knew
her,
Again the doctor paused to consider.
He was a very famous doctor, with
many very famous patients, and I
could see that this case piqued him
that another physician should have
been preferred!
''Of course, Mr.. Royce" he said final
ly, Miss Holiday was perfectly free
to choose another physician If she
thought best"
'But would you have thought it prob
able?" queried our junior.
Ten minutes ago I should have
thought 1t extremely improbable" an
swered the doctor emphatically. ''Still,
women are sometimes erratic, as we
doctors know to our SORROW
Mr.. Royce hesitated and then took
the bull by the horns.
''Dr. Jenkinson," he began earnest
", don't you think it would be wise
to see Miss Holladay-you know how
her father trusted you and relied on
you-and assure yourself that she's in
good hands? 1 confess I don't know
what to think, but 1 fear some danger
is hanging over her. Perhaps she may
even have fallen into the hands of the
faith curists'
Jenkinson smiled.
''The advice to seek rest and quiet
seems sane enough" he said, land ut
terly unlike any that q faith curist
would give
But still, If you could see for your
SELF" persisted Mr.. Royce.
The doctor hesitated, drumming with
his fingers upon the arm of his chair.
''Such course would be somewhat
unprofessional," he said at last. "Still
I might call in a merely social way.
My interest in the family would, /
think, excuse me-"
Mr.. Royce's face frightened, and ne
caught the doctors hand.
Thank you, sir" he said warmly.
'It will lift great anxiety from the
firm, and, may add, from me person
ally"
The doctor laughed good naturedly.
II knew that, Of course" he said.
Eve doctors hear all the gossip going.

WILL OF EX-SENATOR BROWN
Utah Man Denies Phrentnge of Brad
ley Children and Directs that
Her Claims BE Contested.

SALT LAKE CITY. Dec H.--TTad the
late ex-senator Arthur Brown foreseen his
death at the hands of Mrs. Bradley he
could have devised no more ingenious re-
taliation than the post mortem revenge
contained in his will. The document, which
was written August a. 1905, four months
before Mr. Brown was shot down at the
Raleigh hotel in washington, was filed to-
day for probate
do not devise or give or bequeath any
thing to any Of the children OF Mrs. Anna
M Bradley is the language of the will
! do not think either or any child born to
Mrs. Anna M. Bradley is or are mine, but
whether such child is or is not 1 expressly
provide that neither or any Of them shall
receive anything of my estate.
I have never married Anna NJ. Bradley
and never intend to. II she should pre-
tend that any such relation ever existed
between us to justify such inference d.
any kind she may present, and l direct that
she receive nothing from my estate.
The testator bequeaths all his property,
valued at about SO, 600, to his two children
by his first and second wives, Alice Brown
and Max Brown.
The children so specifically disinherited
are Arthur aged 7, and Mark, aged years.
The attorneys engaged by Mrs. Bradley S
relatives in Salt Lake City decline to dis
cuss the will at this time. but there is
scarcely a question that a contest will be
instituted. as much for the purpose of es-
tablishing their paTentage as to secure a
monetary consideration. This is the more
likely, as Mrs. Bradley is, or was a few
months ago, in possession of letters signed
with Browns name, in which the relation
ship with one or both of the children Is
acknowledged.

BRYAN REPLIES TO ROOT

LINCOLN, Neb, Dec. a.-william J.
Bryan, commenting on Secretary Of STATE
Roots latest speech, enters his emphatic
protest to the doctorine of Capitalization
which, he says, Mr.. Root indorses. Mr.
Bryan says:
He seems to rest his argument upon the
old idea OF destiny-the refuge Of the man

while made more than century ago, Is

needed are changes of method, not of prin-
cipe. The division of the powers OF gov
ernment was founded upon the doctrine OF
self-government, and the preservation or
the nation depends upon the careful ob-
serVauCe of the limitations between the
things that are local and the thlhgs Inat
are national Those who do not recognize
the doctrine of local self-gOVernment can
make an argument in favor of the transfer
of all power to the federal government,
but those who believe in the doctrine Of
self-government recognize that the people
can be trusted best with that which they
are best acquainted, and that the people
are best acquainted with the things which
are near them and Immediately concern

Concern.

CHICAGO, Dec. Alan inquiry held in
the United States court today into the
affairs Of the lincoln bank OF Morton Park,
which failed this week, disclosed the fact
that $4,000 OF the funds of the bank had
been used by w. ]. Atkinson, the bank s
proprietor, on notes signed by a stenogra-
pher.
The attorney for the receiver stated that
It appeared that half the assets of the
bank had been turned over to Mr.. Arm
strong and he desired to learn something
Of his identity.
Atkinson was asked:
"who is this Armstrong;
"A stenographer," replied Atkinson
where Is Armstrong;
"In Pittsburg," Atkinson said; then said,
Armstrong Is not man, but a woman"
He further explained that the woman had
signed the notes, the money for which was
obtained by himself. Atkinson declared
that some of the signatures taken to be
Armstrong" we're in reality "AddicRson, -
girl formerly employed by him.
The proceedings disclosed the fact that
the books of the bank had not been kept
since November 26
In response to a suggestion that Atkin-
sons bond be reduced. Judge Lands re-
piled:
''It appears from this mans own state
ments that there should be about $1,000
in the bank and there is nothing I fee
that a man that will use other peoples
money might be inclined to leave town

CHICAGO JUDGE ASSAULTED
Disgruntled suitor Tries TO XIII Pro-
bate Judge and May he
Insane.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-A desperate effort
was made today to Hssa assinate Judge
Charles ]. Cutting Of the prUoate court, by
Frank S. Ellerbrock of this city. The
would-be assassin is believed TO be insane.
Judge Cutting escaped injury by hairs
breadth and overpowered his assailant
after a fierce fight.
AS the judge entered the criminal court
building on his way to his chambers Eller-
brock, who was standing I'm the hallway,
stepped forward. and when but two feet
distant drew a revolver and fired at the
Judge Judge Cutting instantly turned and
struck his assailant a heavy blow In the
face, almost knocking him down. Before
Ellerbrock could recover Judge Cutting
grabbed him by the throat and threw him
backwards over a steam radiator, where he
held him despite his desperate efforts to
escape. Two deputy sheriffs hastened to
the assistance of the judge and wrested
the revolver from Ellerbrock. Judge Cut
ting then allowed him to rise from the
radiator and the man attempted to attack
him once more. The two men struggled
back and forth across the hallway, and the
judge with the assistance Of the deputy
sheriffs finally hurled Ellerbrock to the
floor. The man stlll continued to struggle
until exhausted. He then commenced to
beg for mercy, saying, please don't hurt
me"
Ellerbrock has been laboring under the
hallucination that the probate court de-
prived him Of his rights to a share in
the estate Of his deceased sister. He had
repeatedly appealed to Judge Cutting to
reopen the case. Judge Cutting declined
in absence Of proof that the estate had
been improperly closed.
At the police station Ellerbrock talked
incoherently to the effect that as he could
get no satisfaction In the courts he de,
cided to kill the Judge before whom the
suit was pending In the next breath
Bllerbrock said: Il didn't mean to SHOOT
the judge. I only wanted to have him
put on trial himself. I pulled the trigger

The police believe Ellerbrock is undoubt

LONDON, Dec a.-The cabinet held a
special session today preliminary TO the
prorogation OF Parliament for the holidays.
Unusual bitterness exists in parllamen-
tary circles over the severe blow which
the cabinet sustained in the defeat Of the

The announcement OF the appointment Of
James Bryce to succeed Sir Mortimer
Durand as British ambassador at Wash

reports In circulation, but being repeatedly
questioned by his colleagues, he did not
deny that this was his last day in Par
lament He declined, however, to make a
statement for publication.

afternoon before members Of both houses.

principal international agreements to
which Great Britain had subscribed during
