then she shook the clergyman by the
shoulder.

she said. please let him go SO that
the ceremony may be performed at

The light Of madness faded from
the watery eyes and the suave, pro-
fessional manner returned as he sank
into the seat opposite and drew out

it at the marriage service.
Once he began the words of the
ritual, his entire manner changed
His face gained new dignity and
he read the beautiful words of the
ceremony as Marjorie had never be-
fore heard 1t read.
She loved Tom. Only a foolish
pride was keeping her from confess
ing her fault and granting forgive
ness. This ceremony seemed so real
that it affected her strangely.
The mailman closed the book and
beamed upon them.
You will kiss the BRIDE" he said,
mildly.
For a moment Hadley hesitated,
but Marjorie raised her full red lips
to his and his arms went about her
at their touch. One arm remained
around her as he raised his head,
and the clergyman regarded them
approvingly.
"That is BETTER" he announced.

Just in time" he added, as the train
began to slow down for a station.
Men in uniform appeared at either

1T REAL

Marjorie regarded her companion
with frank curiosity 1t was her first
ride alone in an English railway train
aand she had heard many stories of
-sentlemanly looking persons who
murdered men and women for their
vyaluables.
But this clerical looking man in the
seat across from her did not appear
Ito be dangerous, and she settled her
self to the book. 1t was less than
two hours to Graham Towers. Surely
nothing much could happen.
Then there came the noise of doors
being shut and a porter In leather
vwaistcoat held the door of her com
partment invitingly open. Another
porter threw in kitbag, the door
was shut and the train started. Tom
Hadiey sprang in the carriage,
When he saw Marjorie he turned
to leave again, but the door was now
hacked and the train was slowly
pulling through the yards Tom went
vover to the other side of the com
partment leaving a wide seat be-
tween them, and became immersed
in the morning paper.
My young friend did you ever
contemplate matrimony?'
Marjories book fell to the floor
with a crash The clerical gentle
1man was staring at her from acrosi

eyes.

union of two loving hearts?"
Toms paper was flung into the
side Marjorie.
You are annoying this young lady"
ne said, savagely. "Sit back in your
seat and be quiet"
The clerical person regarded him
with a sorrowful air MY dear young
friend" he said, shaking his head
sadly. "Not for the world would
cause this fair daughter annoyance
but l cannot see her sit sorrowing
when it is in my power to bring her
great joy For it is written that it

Tom, pleasantly, IF you will wait

ATTRACTS GARY CROWDS
Landefield Sakting Rink in
the Harbor Is a Popu-
lar Place.

One of the busiest amusement places
in the whole Calumet region is the
Landefield skating rink and bowling
alleys on Guthrie street, near Michi-
gan avenue, in Indiana Harbor.
On the main floor of a large brick
building there are bowling alleys and
billiard and pool tables. There is al
ways a crowd in the rooms and the
parlors are an exceedingly popular
place for the young men to loaf.
On the second floor Is a large skat-
ing rink where the sport of roller skat-
Ing may be had at all times. Occa-
sionally the program is varied with
a game of roller polo, which helps to
make 1t interesting.
The floor is also used for basketball
games and several contests have al
ready been held there this year. It is
safe to say that there is not a build
Ing in the whole region that houses so
many different kinds of wholesome
amusement as Landef1elds.
1t is one of the most popular places
in the county for roller skating and
since the burning Of the Gary rink is
attracting large Gary crowds.

Doubtless by this time you have

ing his until after the first of the year
when you have made your New Years

all they can do to attend TO their own
court matters without offering any sug-
gestions to Lake county.
You have only two more days in
which to practice or your New Years
resolution.
There We're several booked at the To-
cal police station last night who were
getting in shape for their annual ride
on the water wagon.
To throw a little more light on the
subject the Gary Heat. Light and Wat
er company have put up few arcs on

How you wish that you could die
AS down Broadway you do stumble

needed to accommodate the crowd.

DESERTS FIVE CHILDREN
Indiana Harbor Police Are
Looking for Charlie
Roderman.
Especial to THE TINES }

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Dec. 29.-Where
is Charlie Roderman? This is the ques-
ton that was asked by local police of
f1cers of nearly every resident of the
Lithuanian colony, but without result.
Charlie is wanted on a charge of wife
desertion, preferred by Mrs. Charlie and
her five small children, who are await
ing his return to their little home on
Waiting street.
Mrs. Roderman yesterday told the
police that her husband had left home
on Christmas eve, after telling her that
he was not going to live with her any
longer. He then took up his abode with
another woman on Parrish avenue and
has not been seen since. He has failed
to report for work at the Inland mill
and has not been seen in his accus-
toned haunts He is known to have
had about $500 in cash on his person
and Mrs. Roderman fears that this will
all be spent before the police can bring
him to his home and children.

CONTRAO|CTS ANDY CARNEGIE

Washington. Dec. 2e.-Judge Gary
contradicts Andrew Carnegie. The lat
ter told the ways and means commit
tee the American steel industry needs
no protection at all. The former now
comes back at the committee with an
amended statement, In which he says
a little protection is still needed, though
not very much. The high tariff mem
bers of the committee are eager to get
facts and figures refuting Mr.. Cane
gie's statements. and Judge Gary has
obligingly helped them out. Mr.. Gary
is not only the chairman Of the board
of the United States Steel Corporation,
diplomaist-in-chief of that great or
ganization.
Made Good Impression.
When he appeared in Washington as
the ambassador of the greatest indus
trial concern in the world he was as
clever and adroit as any representative
OF Sovereign or potentate assigned to
duty at the American court No wit
ness ever made better impression.
and this was as true of the democratic
members of the committee as the re-
publican members. Knowing this. the
high protection republicans prompted
the head of the Steel corporation to
help them out a little in their efforts
to get over the Carnegie obstacle, and
Judge Gary sends the committee a
carefully prepared statement supple
mentary to the evidence he gave when
before the committee in person
What He Testified to Before.
Judge Gary testified ten days ago
that his corporation could get along
without any protection, but tina small
er concerns nigh suffer little and be
driven to union with the trust" thus
leading to monopoly. Now he gives the
figures designed to support his conten-
ton that, taking in account the whole
steel industry of the United States put
ing seel and iron on the free list would
be Injurious to American interests and
American labor. Judge Gary summing
up his figures, which he supplies vol
uminously and from original data, says
the steel manufacturers of England
and Germany can deliver their products
In New York about 80 cents the ton
cheaper than can the manufacturers at
Pittsburg, and that foreigners shipping
by the all-water route can deliver in
San Francisco about IS a ton cheaper
than their Pittshurg competitors.

Whiting. Ind, Dec. 20. That the
Whiting high school minstrel on Jan
S, will be the finest as well as the
largest attended entertainment ever
given in Whiting is now an assured
fact. A few days ago the tickets were
put on sale and already the number
disposed Of reaches into the hundreds
From the time that the first news
of the minstrel show reached the ears
of Whitingites the venture was hailed
with the utmost enthusiasm. A close
reprt is being constantly kept on the
selling, and since no tickets will be sold
after a limited number, controlled by
the seating capacity of the auditori-
UNI, no fear of discomfort from over
crowding need disturb those who pos
sess or who intend purchasing tick
cts for the entertainment.
Are Natural Born MinstrcIs.
The management are jubilant over
the way the members of the cast have
taken to minstrelry, and are unlimited
in their promises of a most gratifying
entertainment with each rehearsal the
production is nearing a state of per-
lection. The first part of the show
alone will be well worth the admis-
sion fee. The rollicking minstrel
songs, the delightful songs of the
white face" will be assisted by Choir
us of thirty. A number of whom COM
posed the last years successful dele
cation in the county musical contest.

The farce moves along swiftly and
not a moment is free from pleasant
excitement and uproarious laughter.
The Salute to the Sultan" a fascin-
ating drill, reroducing the manoeuvers
of far east caliph in welcome to a
mightier monarch, is well worth an au-
dience's appreciation
With the assistance of the high

numbers. each possessing its own mer-
its, the high school minstrel show
promises to live up to forecasts of the
projectors and anticipations of many
well wishing friends.
