.STEAD'S PEACE PLAN
American Delegation to Tour
 European Capitals.
GATHERING ALLIES AS THEY co.

His Ideal of Amity Described as "ths United States of the world"-would storm The Hague and End All Warfare.
 NEW YORK, April S.-W. T. Stead
 occupied the pulpit in Plymouth church, Brooklyn. last night and set
 forth his views as to the opportunity
 which was afforded to Americans by
 the coming Hague conference of rous-
 ing the other nations to a sense of the importance of making definite and i'm mediate progress toward the ideal de.
 scribed by the phrase 'the United States of the world.'
 He urged that at the coming peace convention here next Sunday twelve representative American men and wo- men should be selected as the nucleus of n pilgrimage of peace. These per sons would then appeal to the Amer ican people for their indorsement by public meetings or signed memorials. Armed with this evidence of national support. they would in the first case go as a deputation to the president and to the secretary of state, asking them to instruct their delegates at The Hague to support the above pro gramme.
 Then they would approach the Brit ish ambassador, informing him of their intention to start at once for England in order to appeal to the British peo- pies for their support in pressing their requests upon the king and his minis. ters. The other members of the dip lomatic corps at Washington would also be apprised of the object of the pilgrimage. Then would come send of banquet at New York, and the pill grims of peace could start in the first week of May for their tour through the capitals of Europe.
 MT. Stead said that there was no doubt that they would receive an over whelmingly popular reception in Brit ain, where the ground has already been prepared. At London they would be joined by four pilgrims from each of the three Scandinavian countries, and the Americans and Scandinavians, to- gether with twelve British pilgrims. would present their petition to the king at Buckingham palace and to his ministers in Downing street. There would be great popular demonstra- tons, and the pilgrimage would be- come an international festival.
 The thirty-six pilgrims would then cross over to Paris. where they would be hailed with enthusiasm. The same thing would be repeated there. Re captions by the president of the repub- lie and his ministers, the municipality and the chamber of commerce would afford ample demonstration of the loy- alty of France to the principle of fra ternity.
 The pilgrims, now swollen to forty eight by the addition of twelve French pilgrims. would pick up others at Ge neva and then go on to Rome. From Rome the pilgrims, now sixty-two in number, would go 10 Russia. and eighty-six would arrive at Berlin. Ninety eight would reach Brussels, and then 100 would finally round up at The Hague to present their peti- ton to the conference which is to as- semble on June l.
 Mir. Stead said that the international peace idea had been received with en- thusiasm in Europe.

It has been stated by some historians that this old house was built about 1740-41. and that 1t was in 1763. about the time of his later victories, that 1t was converted into an inn and named King of Prus- sia in honor of Frederick the Great. But still another historian contends that it was standing. and was used as an inn, much earlier than this, and In telling of the first stage coach with an awning. which was run three times a week from the King of Prussia inn, at Germantown, to the George inn, at Second and Arch streets.

 That day was day of days. Win. ter reigned kindly. They crossed the river, and spent the afternoon in the woods and along the edge of the marshes. returning lors after the city was aglow. They had dinner at cafe, for when one has finished a pic ture that is to bring fame and wealth, economy is sinful thing. Back in her studio they talked until lase.
 The windows were gray with the cold dawn when he awoke suddenly. and stared about him. In a moment he was out of bed and had thrown open the hall door. Smoke, thick ard stifling. drifted in. At the bottom of the staircase-well orange light danced and glowed. Throwing his clothes on, he lifted the picture from the easel. and staggered with it down the first flight. The smoke made him choke and gasp. The next flight was miles long. At the bottom he dropped the picture. and as it toppled against the baluster he leaped to Beth's door and knocked loudly.
 Who Is therc?" came the question at once.
 Tt is MT. Timson. The house .s on fire. There's no danger. of course. but yoa must come quickly"

 He buried his face in his elbow, leaning against the wall. Once he started impetuonsly toward the pic ture, only to turn back The crack. ling of the flames drowned now even the noise at the door Then Beth stood before him. white-faced, anxious eyed. but unafraid.

calls became more frequent a motor ambulance was ordered to take the place of the ponies. Tho ambulance now used resembles the ordinary monkey cage seen ill circus parades. It has two compartments, large one for the dogs and a smaller one for the cats. On the box are seats for the driver and the emerge ncy sur geon.
 Homeless cats and dogs, unaccus- toned to the call of mistress or the whistle of a master, are caced for as tenderly as the more fortunate pets. It was for the care of the dumb waifs that Dr Gatchell established the hos pital and put into commission the only ambulance of it's kind in tho west Wealthy owners of patients are charged regular hospital fee, but on the books no charges arc made for the care of the homeless dogs and cats. The dogs and cats are sold sometimes for enough to pay for their treatment. Visitors very often become attacted to Il waif and pay the hospital fee.
 Several of the most aristocratic dogs of Kansas City once were pa- tients here," an attendant said. They were picked up on the streets half starved and suffering from bruises but their appearance was changed after a short stay and prop er attention. Now they're the petted companions of wealthy persons"
 At present twenty dogs. represent- ing many different breeds, are being cared for by Dr. Gatchell and his as- sistants. The wards are arranged in tiers, like prison cells. They arc kept clean; new straw is put in them every morning, and the water In the little pan is sterilized.
 Sometimes we have forty or fifty patients in the wards" the attend ant said When the wards on the main floor are field we send new pa- tients to the reserve wards In the basement.
 "The cats are not SO common as the dogs. Generally they are more for- tunate in getting homes. Most of the cat patients are carried into the office by fashionably dressed women. The women always cry at the parting. but the contented pur of the cat usually changes to yowls and cries when the doctor attempts to care for them. Cats are the most ungrateful patients we try to help"
 In the office of the hospital. the walls of which are lined with shelves field with bottles and medical appli- ances, an Irish terrier. lean grey- hound and a brown spaniel were ly- ing on the floor. They were recup- erating. Sharp yells were heard from an inclosure in one corner of the room.
 That's Pat in 'Parlor A." DT Gatchell said. He stole the grey~ hounds dinner. and was locked up as a punishment. ."-Kansas City Star.

the saddle. He flung the bridle lines forward over the head of the little pony that. head down and rooted to the united lines of command. stood panting, bellows-sided and with pulsat. ing nostrils.
 With stiffness of step reminiscent of the saddle. the man went back to the pack animal and unfastened two morals. Into each of these feeding bags he poured measure of corn and then slipped them over the panting noses. The beasts crunched away at the grains instinct lively. but with little of the zest of appetized enjoyment.
 He loosened the cinch girt and drew off the heavy saddle tree. flung it be- side the horse and removed the damp blanket beneath which the hair lay wet and plastered. with the edges loaned. He stroked the hot back and examined where the saddle had galled; then he turned and took from . saddle-bag a half-dozen biscuit and seated himself Turk.fashion alongside the trail.
 He munched this dry fodder, which clung to the teeth. and strove to wash it down by applications of the canteen of water. alkali-whitened and cutting. The pewter neck tasted bitter and the gurgle lent no refreshment
 The sun was at its hottest. He took on the broad-brimmed felt hat, which was sweated through to the unraveled ribbon, and famed his red-banded forehead. The brain was becoming numb to reason and taking on the ire of the desert.
 He got to his feet with a curse, took the morals from the horses and. throwing out the few remaining grains. restored them to the pack. Mounting again. he pulled down the hat brim and kept on toward the sun, now an hour toward setting. The country rolled with the incessant waves of the prairie. hill and divide, with here and there the gnarled mes- quite bushes. thorny and forbidding, deep. strongly-rooted. and almost GOV cred by the sand storms when the wind did blow.
 A quick jump beside the trail inst ahead startled both horse and rider. and the plains sack-rabbit made on, . streak of swift. gray ungainliness. Then. again. only the muf.ied thud. thud of the hoofs in sand came to con. sciousness.
 The rider. head bent In a sort of apathy. was mechanically droning over an old tune to the rhythrnical step. And all the time the gun still dazsied down upon him ard the demsn of the lone prairie was still vorking. The trail led on in its faintness.

success of both armies at times when the neighborhood was in control of either force. During the war of 1872 soldiers were recruited in the hotel for Gen. Jackson's army, and there was jollification and dance held there when the soldiers returned from the war.
 On the Sd day of April, 1913, Rox- borough lodge No. 134, Free and Ac- cepted Masons. was organized in Washington hotel, and continued to hold its monthly meetings there un- til the hotel was abandoned.
 It was then transformed into a dwelling and had not many of it's original features left to identify it with its interesting past, save the two story and half quaint stone ex- terior. But now the building has passed into the hands of w. R. Hog gartt. Philadelphian, whose patriot ic sentiment is strong and who has planned to restore 1t to its original condition and occupy 1t as a summer residence.
 Another historic building of Penn sylvania has been identified and marked by the Site and Relic Society of Germantown" so that visitors to that city will find a new object of interest. ifs the old King of Prussia inn that has been honored by tab. let in its front wall, and 1t will be thus identified from several other buildings which were known by the same name. In fact, the name King of Prussia Inn" has led to frequent in. quiries because of the apparently con- tradictory reports as to its situation, some claiming that it is to be found in West Philadelphia, others in Ger mantown, and still others in various other suburban places. The truth of the matter is that in the early days of Philadelphia and Germantown his tory there were several fine hostelries known by this name.
 This house. no doubt, like all the others. dates from the time of Fred erick the Great. and 1t is claimed that 1t is the oldest of the King of

VENGEANCE
By BURKE JENKINS.

 Straight up the simmer of heat rose from scorching sand, unfecked by painful of wind. A blistering sun still beat upon the back of the traveller headed west; for 1t was not yet noon.
 The squeaking stirrup-leathers chafed raspingly against the cowhide boot-legs in the monotony of the little pony's pace, while slung holster and felt-covered canteen thumped the thigh with occasional irregularity. The pack animal, head extended in unwilling lead, and out of time to the mount, clattered stones in wearied clumsi. ness.
 The horseman wore a blue flannel shirt. two buttons open at the threat and sleeve-rolled to the elbow. reveal ing thick chest and forearms, deep ly Drowned and sinewy.
 Occasionally. at stumble of the little beast that seemed to feel the heat, the man would jerk him up and, for moment, would be somewhat shaken from the thoughts which set the broad upper lip in lines of tension. The dust, fine-powdered and alkali white, rose and settled into the very weave of the clothes.
 The sun passed overhead and began to look under tho hat brim. It was already past time for the midday halt. No spot differed from another suffi- ciently to mark any distinction as a resting place: so, with the indifference of worn custom the traveller grunted . halt and swung himself slowly from
