ABILENE's SWIFT HORSES.
They Are Winning All Sorts OF
Glory at SaIina.

At the Salina fair yesterday the
first race, a 2:19 trot was rather ex-

be in a class by herself. She won IN
three straight heats, the fastest time
being 2:263. Ray Star again made a
run IN an effort to beat the track
record Of 2:17I. The horse failed

SOME RARE AUTOGRAPHS.
j. B. Case Has Signatures Of All
Western Governors.

j. b. Case has a most interesting
collection Of autographs. They are
the signatures Of every governor Wess
Of the Mississippi river and are AZ
tached TO letters addressed to Presi-
pent Roosevelt, inviting him to go
to the TRANSIT ississippi congress
which meets in Muskogee in Novem-
Der. The morning papers report that
these letters have been presented to
the president but this is error. a
copy Of the letters was made last
week and forwarded to Senator Curtis
who was to arrange for the presents
ton Of the originals when the presi-
dent reaches ST.. Louis this week.
MIR. Case, chairman Of the execu-
tive committee. has been very busy
obtaining these letters and it has been
feat to secure such large collec-
ton without emitting any OF the
prominent state executives in the en-
tire Trans Mississippi territory. In
addition to the letters Of the govern
ors, he also has invitations from
twenty-five or thirty United States
senators and congressman. He leaves
today for St. Louis where he VIII ~

lut liabilities to her feet and, laying
them there, would gladly have ex-
changed them for her fathers cheques
to salve their finacial wounds. IN
Alban she had met for the first time
a natural English lad who had no Sc
crets to hide from her. NsHe will
worship the ground upon which /
walk" she said in the mood Of sum
dry novelties borrowed from her
maid. And this, in truth, the lad
might well have come to do.
But the weeks passed and Alban
remained silent, and the declaration
she had desired at first as an amuse-
ment now became a vital necessity
to her fasting vanity. Believing that
their surrounding at Hampstead, the
formality, the servants, the splendor
of Five Cables" forbade that little
comedy of love for which she hunger
ed, she went off, in her fathers alb
sence, to their cottage at Henley, and
compelled Aiban to follow her, She

VERDICT UNPOPULAR IN DIES
MONIES DR.. GADD is YET
TO BE TRIED.

Des Moines, Nov. 2.-H. B. Dickin-
son, charged with running and entic-
ing into a conspiracy, resulting in
the death of Irene Blydenburgh, the
young Eldora girl. is free man. The
twelve men who have been listening
to the evidence in the criminal court
for the past two weeks returned
verdict of acquittal last evening at
about 9 o'clock Dickinson fastened
to the jury box to shake hands with
the jurors as they hurried from the
court house.
The verdist came as a surprise to
many and is generally unpopular
throughout Des Moines The jury's
verdict, however, frees Dickinson
from guilt in connection with the
death of the motherless girl and i'm

CHAPTER XIV.
A Study In Indifference.

There are many spurs to wo-
mans vanity. but declared indiffer-
ence is surely the sharpest of them
all. When Anna Gessner discovered
that Alban was not willing to enroll
himself In the great band Of worship
pers who knelt humbly at her golden
shrine, she set about converting him
with haste which would have been
dangerous but for its transparent dis
honesty. In love herself. SO far as
such woman could ever be in love,
at all, with the dashing and brainless
Jockey who managed her race horses
she was quite accustomed, none the
less, to add the passionate confessions
and gold-sick protestations of others
to her volume of anatory recollec-
lions and it was not a little. amazing
that mere youth should be discover
ed so obstinate SO chilly and so indif-
ferent as to remain insensible both
to her charms and their value in what
her father had called pounds sterl-
ing
When Alban first came to Five
Cables his honesty amused her
greatly. She liked to hear him speak
of the good which her fathers money
could do in the slums and alleys he
had left. 1t was rare entertainment
for her to be told of those dreadful
| people" who sewed shirts al day ana

had said, and would sit at bis feet
while he confessed some of the wild
hopes which animated him, or justi-

stand word of it--but she liked to
have those clear blue eyes fixed upon
her. to hear the soft musical voice,
and to wonder when this pretty boy
would speak of his love for her.
But the weeks passed and no word
of love was spoken, and the woman
| in her began to ask why this Should
be- She was certain as she could b.
that her beauty had dazzled the LAD
when first he came to Five Gablea

Alban stood an instant irreBolute.
How much he would have liked to
offer assistance to this poor girl, to
speak Of real pecuniary help and
friendship. But he knew the people
too we'll. The utmost delicacy would
be necessary.
Well he said, "I'm sorry things
are not better, Chris. I've had good
Saturday night, you see, and if I can
do anything don't you bind letting
me know. Well talk Of 1t when Wa
have more time I'm going on to
see Boriskoff now, and doubt that
I'll find him out Of bed"
She laughed little wildly, still
turning almost pathetic eyes upon
him.

you and Lois-all the Court says IL
is. That's why she went away, they
say-is 1T true. Alb, or are they tell
ing lies? can't believe it myself.
You're not the sort to give a girl over
hot one that's stood by you as we'll
as Lois. Tell me, it amt true or |
shall think the worse Of YOU
The question staggered him and he
could not instantly answer 1t. Was
it true or false? Did he really love
little Lois and had he still an inten-
ton to marry her? Alban had never
looked the situation straight In the
face until this moment.

window there and the tap Of a light
hammer informed him that the indie
fatigable Pole was still at work. In
truth, old Paul was bending copper
tubing-for firm which said that he
had no equal at the task and paid
him a wage which would have been
despised by crossing.sweeper.
Alban entered the garrett quietly
and was little startled by the sharp
exclamation which greeted him. He
knew nothing, Of course, Of the part
this crafty Pole had played or what
his own change of circumstances
owed to him. To Alban, Paul Boris.
koff was just the same mad revolu.
tIonary as before-at once fanatic
and dreamer and, before then, the
father of Lois who had loved him.
II the old fellow had no great vel
come for the young Englishman to-
night, let that be set down to his
sense Of neglect and in some meas
ure, to his daughters absence.
Good evening, Mr.. Bor:skor. you
are working very late tonight
Alban stood irresolute at the door
watching the quick movements of the
shaggy brows and wondered what
had happened to old Paul that ne
should be received so coolly. Had he
known what was in the Poles mind
he would have as soon have jumped
off London Bridge as have braved the
anger of one who judged him, p.

CHAPTER, XIV.


There Are Stranger. in the Cave.
1t was some time after midnight
when Alban reached Broad Street
Station and discovered that the last
t5ain for Hampstead had felt. A
certain uneasiness as to what his
new friends would think of him did
not deter him from his sudden deter.
mination to turn westward and seek
out his old haunts. He had warned
Richard Gessner that no house would
ever make prisoner of him, and
this quick desire for liberty now
burned in his veins as a fever. 1t
would be good he thought, to sleep
under the stars once more and to
imagine himself that same Alban
to look for bread--could it be but five
short weeks ago

picted q great army of the servants Of
money asleep in distant homes, and
he could not but ask what happiness
they carried there, what capacities for
rest and true enjoyment.
Was 1t true, as he had begun to be-
lieve, that the life of pleasure had
cares of it's own, hardly less support,
able than those which crushed the
poor to the very earth? Was the
daily round of abundance, Of lights
and music and wine and women-was
| it but the basket of shams, scarce de.

brief experience seemed to answ 81

wondered If he had known such an

had come to him upon the last night

from about fifty candidates, whereas the
Britons were recruited from a hundred
times that number. Under the present
rules the United States cannot make this
excuse in case of defeat as their crew will
be picked from the best oarsmen from Tho
American clubs.
1t is interesting to note that no provision
has been made to get any college oarsma.
In the American boat the committee not
seeming to have thought of this But why
should they not do so? The American
track team will be made up of college and
club men, and the former are sure to pre-
dominate There is no doubt that the aver
age college eight could defeat any club
eight in this country. Therefore 1t seems
reasonable to believe that the American
boat could be strengthened by the pres
ence of college men. But 1t Is open 10
question whether not the colegans
would consent to row with the club men.
And even If they did it would undoubtedly
be difficult to pick the best, as there would
be no way of comparing them The best
way out of the difficulty would be to let
the winners of the Poughkeepse and New
London regattas row against the All-Amer-
lean club crew selected. and the winner Of
this race selected to represent the United
States next summer The experiment IS
certainly worth a trial.
