Plank as with one born to his own

more to Plank than anything that had

Then one sultry day toward the last
week in August a certain judge of a
certain court, known among some as
"Harrington's judge" sent secretly
for Plank. And Plank knew that the
crisis was over But neither Harring

her-her love, marrying her-you stood
the best chance in the world to win
out, it would be cowardly to ask her
TO take the risk. AS much as | care
for you | had rather see you lose the
fight than accept such a risk from her.
Now you know what think, but you
don't know ALL Siward, | say to you
that if you are man enough to take
her, take her! And l say that of the
two risks she is running today the
chance she might take with you is in.

the light will go out of her soul for

He rose, striding the length of the
room once or twice, turned, holding
out his broad hand.
"Goodby," be said Harrington is
about due at my Office. Quarter will
probably turn up tonight l am not
vindictive. l shall be just with them
as just as l know how, which is to be
as merciful as / dare be. Goodby,
Siward."
When he had gone Siward lay back
In his chair, very still, eyes closed. A
faint color had mounted to his face
and remained there
1t was late in the afternoon when
he went downstairs, using his crutches
lightly Gumble handed him a straw
hat and opened the door, and Siward
cautiously descended the stoop. stood
for a few moments on the sidewalk
looking up at the blue sky, then wheel
ed and slowly made his way toward
Washington square The avenue was
deserted. His own house appeared to
be the only remaining house still open
in all that old fashioned but respecta
bic quarter.
A cab, driven smartly, passed
through the park, the horses feet
slapping the asphalt till the echoes
ratified back from the marble arch. He
followed it idly with his eyes up Fifth
avenue. saw it suddenly halt in the
middle of the street. saw a woman
spring out. stand for a moment talk
ing to her companion. then turn and
look toward the square.
She stood SO long and she was so far
away that he presently grew tired Of
watching her A dozen ragged ur-
chins were proving around the foun

enough that evening to permit the
children to splash in the water and

RECEIVED GRATEFUL THANKS
OF HUNDREDS IN PITTSBURG

The following article. taken from

city, and the effect of his new prep

Cooper's theories with regard TO the
human stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He ella ms that

is as follows:

as in other cities. For the past few
days many thousands of PIttsburg
people have called at his headquar-
tiers to talk with him.

winch TO pay the first game between

The Journal fears that the other
towns are not taking enough inter

they have thought that Pensacola
being the larger town, could support
and would employ a better team than
could be afforded in a smaller town
The Journal has thought of this. and
suggests plan along the folowingg
lines.
Let the league be formed upon a
cooperative plan. That is, let the
association look to the payment OIL
all expenses, and let the receipts of
an games IN all cities go into the
common fund. A stated salary allow

paid by the association, not by the
