And so 1t dawned upon the par

gone on dangerous trip over s 4

and wolves, to fetch her pet cat.
Hurriedly the father mounted the.re-

too sick. Can't we stay here all
night"
And so the afternoon passed away
with Mamie still complaining, the
cramps in the stomach apparently no
better. And the parents were too
much alarmed about her TO try TO
push on that day, and decided to re-
main In the deserted shack until
morning, when, IL the child was. able,
they would pursue their Journey.
That night, soon after they had
partaken OF their supper. Mamie
surprised them all by saying: The
stomach ache Is gone, ma, an / can
eat some bacon an bread. ma" And
you may better believe the father,
mother and sam were delighted that
she had recovered from her very pain-
full sickness of the entire afternoon.
So she was given good supper and
then told to go to sleep. The parents
had brought the bedding from the
wagon and had made up beds on the
fioof. ~ 's'rs
As Mamie lay very quietly, eyes
tightly closed, her mother, thinking
she was asleep, whispered to Sam to
go to bed and make no noise during
the process. Then she and the father
soon crept very quietly into their bed
and We're soon slumbering soundly.
After the house had been silent for
about half an hour and Mamie felt
sure that she could creep out Of bed
without disturbing the sleepers; she
got up and went ever so softly from
the shack, drawing the door shut af-
ter her. Then she flew toward the
mules that were tethered to grass

ger" said Mamie, leading the larger
Of the mules toward the wagon.
There she found the bride and after
some difficulty had the bit between

The story which Is about 10 be re-

ago in the Far West. That Is %
say, the scene Of action was at that
time called the Far West for 1t be-

OF the Mississippi River, but east OF
the Rocky Mountain.
And IN that far away land there
were at the time OF my story no rail-
Foads-such as honeycomb the coun-
try now, and there were no large cit
les, either. The towns were few and
far between, and rowing bands OF In
dians wandered here and there, some
times becoming very hostile toward
the white men who were encroaching
on their territory more and more,
and driving them from their hunting
grounds.
And the white Settlers" as the
frontiersmen were called, Travelled
from the more civilized states to the
new country "out West in big cover
ed wagons that were drawn by OK
en- or mules, horses seldom answering
the purpose OF drawing the heavy
burdens, for their strength and en-
durance were not adequate for the
travel.
One fine spring day a white can
vassed wagon was seen going over the
prairie road leading toward the set
ting sun. Inside the wagon, and on
the front seat sat man and a wo-
man. The man held the lines which
guided pair of well built mules that
were trotting along as II the burden
of the wagon household goods piled
high inside It. and the human beings
on top 1t all-were of no consequence.

PRESIDENT OF WHITE HAND"
SOCIETY CLAIMS THAT MURDER
OF FATHER LEO WAS RESULT
OF PERSONAL ENMiTY BE-
TWEEN ANARCHISTS IN PAT
TERsoN, N. j., AND THE DEAD
PRIEST.
Rx Associates er..s.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Dr. H. c. Voloni,
president of the White Hand Society,
which was organized. recently to carry
on war of determination against the
Black Hand-a band of criminal Ital-
liaus-is under sentence of death"
He has received many threatening let
tiers, the last one which he received q
month ago containing the positive
message .tis@t death was -'a:tins h;rl.
DIR. Voleni told of this Yesterday in
connection with the explanation of bi
attitude on the anti-cierical question
which is agitating the Italian colony
DR.. Voloni's practice has dwinaled
since these threats have been made
against him, for he refuses to make
any night calls. He is suspicious of
every visitor, and the clerk in his
Office has instructions to let no one
past the door who is not known. He
goes armed, and is guarded in all
his movements by his friends.
DIR. VolOni is convinced that the
anti-clerical quarrel started over 4
personal difference between one OF
the leading Italians and q priest.
''The Antf-Clerical Society is a ma
tional movement in Italy" he said.
Here in Chicago society has been
formed-the Giordano Bruno-which
has for its object the spreading of the
doctrine that the priests should not
mix up in matters of local govern
ment. There is no anarchy in it.
know the men who organized it, and
1 know that they are opposed to
crime.
1.-The murder OF Father Leo Helm
7 chs in Denver gave the excuse for
the local priests to attack our anti
clerical society. 1t is not necessary
to look in Chicago for the Matching
of the plot. The priest had visited
Paterson. He may have made an
enemy of the anarchists there. IT is
probable the man who killed him was
paid to travel West after him.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 2S.-Fivs
hundred banqueters heard William
Jennings Bryan speak at local no
tel tonight, after spending a busy day
with friends and visitors. He deliy-
cred lecture this afternoon, and at
O'Clock held a public reception,
which was attended by many citizens.
The speech at the banquet tonight
was warmly received, and with mark
ed attention. Bryan said the pros
poets for the coming campaign are
very bright from democratic stand
point, and are growing brighter every
day. The issues, in a sense, he said,
were moral ones, since an economic
questions are, in their last analysis,
moral problems. The most important
step for the restoration of a better
business and industrial condition, he
said, is the upbuilding again of con-
ddence in banks.
After closing his speech, Bryan left
for Jackson, Miss, where he will
speak before the legislature tomorrow
