 "Mr. Fash acts for Sylvia" cried Paul, still lingering at the door. The lawyer was on the horns of a dilem- ma. If what Mrs. Krill says Is true I can't dispute the facts" he said ir- ritably, "and am unwilling to give up the business. Prove to me, ma'am, that you are the lawful widow of my late client, and that this is my late esteemed clients lawful daughter, and I will act for you"
 Mrs. Krill's ample bosom rose and fell and her eyes glittered triumphant ly. She cast victorious glance at Beecot. But that young man was look ing at the solicitor. Rats leave the sinking ship" said he bitterly; you will not prosper. Pash."

 "You there, Beecot?" said this gen tleman coldly. "I wish you would tel this brat to leS me enter"
 Brat yourself, y toff!" cried Tray pocketing his money. "Ain't a-doin as my master tells nse? He's engaged with two pretty women"-he leered in a way which made Paul long to box his ears-"so I don't spile sport. You've got tired of them, Mir. BeecotT
 "How do you know MT. Beecot's hameT asked Hay calmly.

 T have reason to. And since you and this boy pulled me from under the wheels of the motor," said Paul, ganc- ing from one to the other. T should like to know what became of the brooch"
 I'm sure I don't know" said Grexon quietly. We talked of this before. I gave 1t as my opinion, if you re- member, that 1t was picked up in the street by the late Aaron Norman and was used to seal his mouth. At least that is the only way in which I can conjecture you lost it."

Suffered For His Chickens.

In London as far back as 1791 city ordinance was passed to suppress the early morning cries of the street huck- sters. This law was so severe that Q person arrested twice for the same of- fense could be imprisoned for ten years. There is one record of a man lingering in prison for ten years. When his time was up he was asked what his crime was. =,
 For selling chickens that squawk- ed," was the reply.
 In the confusion of the trial the fact was not brought out that the chickens and not the man were responsible for the din that aroused the wrath of the disturbed citizens.

Wanted Money Too.

Ned, walking with his father, saw him give a beggar 5 cents and inquired into the matter.
 "What did you give that man 5 cents for, papa" asked Ned.
 "So that he might eat bread, my boy" said the father.
 That evening at the supper table it was observed that Ned declined to eat any bread, in any shape.

Field Meet at Ames.

AMES, Ia, May 2-(Special.) lowing to
the fact that the field meet of the iowa
State college track team with the Univer-
sity Of Nebraska team will be the first in
te.collegiate track event held at the col
lege this year considerable interest Is be-
ing aroused over the event Another fea-
ture that will help the meet and increase
the crowd perceptibly is the fact that the
weather has thus far been 80 very dis
agreeable that no athletic event has been
more than about half attended The indl-
cations are that Saturday will be a good
day and II It Is the crowd will be one OF
the largest ever seen az field meet al
the college,
Ames cannot and is not disposed to count
its score as yet, but there are certain
places where II has license to believe Il
has an advantage and dwelling upon this
fact should certainly be permissible. For
two years II has had the best balanced
track team In the state OF Iowa. II lost
the state meet two years ago because II
was not able to place enough hrsts and
Il won IL last year because with its bal
anced team II had few stars who landed
the frsts necessary 70 the totaling up OF
its score. Jack Watsons long suit Is well
balanced, well trained and well conditioned
teams, and this year Will be his star year
In his line. There are enough OF the vet
eran men OF last year on the team to make
Il well balanced IL IL did not have the eX-
perienced hand Of Watson behind IT, Wag-
are the men who took IL In the state meet
last season. Packard, in the one-mile run,
will be on the spot In better shape than
ever before. Hubbard will be able to do
better work in the $40 than ever, and Hen

OMAHAS MASSACRE. PUEBLOS
Terrific PswWow in Which the Colorado
Indians Are soalpsd
NINETEEN TO ONE is THE WAY OF IT
Big Thompson for six Innings
Allowed the Reds from over the
Hills Neither HIT Nor
Ran.

The Pueblo Indians were simply mas
sacred at vinton Street park Thursday
afternoon and when the battle was ended
the Rourkes had amassed nineteen runs
to one little tally for the Indians.
Big Thompson started In to work for Pa
and for six innings he allowed neither
hit nor a run, in fact, let but one man
reach first base. and that was on Whites
Wild throw to first when he had taken
Franck's place at short. 1t was really
a slaughter Of the innocents. and while
Thompson was pitching the Pueblos had
about much show Of winning the game
as a bleating lamb would Of killing the
butcher.
The trouble all started in the first inning
after Omaha had retired seee's team with
out a man reaching first. Gilbert was sent
in TO pitch for Seee, and so confident was
he Of his prowess that he did not take
the trouble to warm up during the fifteen
minutes allotted to Omaha to practice. OF
course, the first inning was not entirely
chargeable to Gilbert, but he did his share.
The first man walked and Harms dropped
Franck's fly. Aubrey made a single and
scored Belden. Franck scored on welch s
infield out and Dolan reached first on the
first OF Corhan's errors. Austin hit for a
double and Corhan made his second error
on Graham's grounder. Gonding then hit
for a double, scoring both Austin and
Graham and Thompson struck out. Belden
walked for tho second time in the inning
and Franck hit a single, scoring Gonding.
Franck stole second and came home on
the second single Aubrey made in the first
inning That was the way Omaha made the
nine scores, which were enough to win that
or almost any other game.
Thompson went to work to try for a no
hit no-run game and It looked like he
might succeed, but in the seventh inning
Pa sent in Metz to give him his first try
IN fast company The Puebs made but one
hit on Metz, but he passed five. Corhan
made a single in the eighth inning and
Metz passed three. which forced one across
the plate, making the only score for Selee.
Sioux City comes this afternoon. which is
also womens day.

ROD AND GUN CLUB BANQUET
Fishermen and Hunters Entertain
Their Friends at Dinner.

With half dozen newspaper men as their
guests, the officers Of the Omaha Rod and
Gun club sat down to a sumptuous fish
dinner at Balduff's Thursday evening. A
huge whitetsh, direct from the waters Of
northern Michigan formed one Of the
courses. This was beauty and was sent
TO Deputy United States Marshal Earl
Mathews especially for the occasion by
friend with whom he has often fished.
Flans fer the season were discussed,
especially for the formal opening. the date
of which has not been set because Of the
continued cold weather. A splendid musical
program, however. has been decided upon
The directors have prepared a form Of
amusement for the summer which bids fair
to be the hit Of the season. That is a
base ball baine on the water, Just as II is
played with such sport by the German
students "A Night in Venice" also is being
prepared and the members are enthusiastic
over this, as there are so many more water
craft at the lake this year than there
were last that an enormous parade can be
formed.
The guests OF the directors were Abbott
and Coburn Of the World-Herald, Carey and
Julian Of the News and Peters and Thomas
OF The Bee The officers present were Scott,
Mathews, Townsend and Crouch.
