CHAPTER v.

At noon, precisely, Maitland stirred
between the sheets for the first time
since he had thrown himself into his
bed-stirred, and, confused by what
ever alarm had awakened him, yawned
stupendously, and sat up, rubbing
cienched fists in his eyes TO clear them
of sleeps cobwebs. Then he bent for
ward, clasping his knees. smiled large
ly. replaced the smile with a thought
full frown, and in such wise conten-
plated the foot of the bed for several
minutes-his first conscious impress
sion, that he had something delightful
to look forward to yielding to a vague
recollection of a prolonged shrill tin
tinnabulation-as if the telephone bell
in the front room had been ringing for
some time.
But he waited in vain Cor a repetition
of the sound, and eventually concluded
that he had been mistaken; it had
been an echo from his dreams. most
likely. Besides, who should cali him
up? Not two people knew thai be

aware that he had returned to his
rooms that morning.
He CAPPED again, stretching wide his
arms. sat up on the edge of the bed,
ard heard the clock strike Il.
Noon and He had an en-
gagement at twoi He frightened at
the memory and, jumping up, pressed
an electric call button on the wall By
the time he had padded barefoot to the
bathroom and turned on the cold-wa-
ter tap, O'Hagan's knock summoned
him to the hall door.
Back again, OHagan; and in a
desperate rush I'll want you to shave
ME and send some kilograms, please.

paused, calculating his costume with
careful observation-disclosures a black
striped negligee shirt: gray socks;
russell low shoes; black and white
check tie-broad wings. You know
where to find them ALP

O'Hagan showed no evidence of sur
prise; the eccentricities of Mr.. Matt
land could not move him, who was in
ured to them through long association
and observation. He moved away to

Former Dean of College Elected to Old
Position BY Trustees.
Cedar Rapids. Dec. 2T.-The election
of DIR. S. w. Stookey, formerly dean OF
the faculty of Coe College. now presl-
dent of Bellevue College, Nebraska, to
his old position by the board of trustees.
has been announced.
1t is confidently expected that DR..
Stookey will accept the position and
will return to his old home at an early
date to take up his former duties, to-
gether with new and important ones
relating to the business department OF
the institution.
Dean Stookey had been with Coe
College for many years, assisting ma
terially in its upbuilding and becoming
recognized everywhere as one of the
ablest men ever identified with the
institution. A year ago last spring he
resigned for reasons made clear at
that time, and accepted the presi-
dency of Bellevue College, where he
has met with great success. But II
has long been known that DR.. Stookey
would like some day to return to Coe
and he doubtless will accept the fine
tender made him by the board OF
| trustees.

IOWA rs YEARS OLD.
State Will Celebrate Seventy Third
Anniversary of Admission to Union.

anniversary OF t<OUtSotou " Ou'oHs
Des Moines. Dec. 27.--On Dec. IS
Iowa will celebrate the seventy third
anniversary of It's admission as state
to the "indissoluable union made more
perfect" 1t was on Dec. rs, 1916. that
the territory which was destined to be-
come the great Hawkeye state was for
mally admitted to the sisterhood of
states.
BY rights the coming day should
have been the seventyfourth anniver-
sary, but when the national govern
ment patterned the first state of Iowa,
the pattern was rejected by an over
whelming vote. The government again
made pattern, and 1t was also re-
jected, so that 1t was not until 1886
that the present boundaries of the state
were agreed upon. and the state made
q part OF the union.
At the time when Iowa was admitted
there prevailed custom of admitting
one northern and one southern state.
In 1S45. when 1t was first proposed to
admit Iowa, Florida was the southern
state chosen as the companion to enter
the great bond of unionism. The peo-
pie of Florida accepted the boundaries
provided by the government and hence
beat her sister state into the union by
one year.

LIVING WEEK AS JESUS WOULD

msnt.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 1.-THE move.
ment begun last Sunday by 1900 young
people of this city to live for two weeks
as Jesus would has assumed a scope far
beyond the expectations OF its promoters.
1t now is city-wide and is spreading to
nearby towns. Fully 10000 volunteers
have unooficially Joined the movement.
The city officials are among those taking
an interest. Many interesting expert
ences have been related by those who
have completed the first weeks test.
Some say they cannot carry the practice
into business. Others say they can. All
sorts of arguments have resulted. as dis
QUESTIONS are being carried on in homes,
in the church. in clubs and in the local
newspapers as to what Jesus would do
and what would be His attitude toward
the common forms Of amusement and hui
man endeavor. The arguments center
about the theater, card playing. dancing
and base ball, with supporters on either
side.
The test has attracted the attention Of
people all over the country. 1t is con.
sid6red likely the Cleveland movement
will result In other cities making the test.
as the local effort is said to be the first
practical and applied one ever made on a
large and comprehensive basis to deal
with modern conditions as 1t Is believed
Jesus would.

KING MANUEL IN POOR HEALTH

LISBON, via Badajos, spain,) Jan H.
In order to dissipate the rumors cur
rent here that his recent illness had en-
tailed lung trouble, King Manuel, attired
in the uniform of a field marshal, yester-
day rode through the principal streets, fol-
lowed by a brilliant staff, and 1t was noted
that the king was very pale and that he
sat upon his horse will difficulty. After
ward he went aboard the royal yacht
Amelia. His physicians are insisting that
the king make frequent cruises in the hope
that the sea air will strengthen his consti-
tutlonal weakness.
1t is said that the duke OF Oporto, the
kings uncle and heir apparent to the Portu-
guese throne, has declared that in the event
of Manuels death, nothing could induce
him to assume. the crown In such a cir
cumstance, as there is no other descendant

RUNAWAY COUPLE UNDER ARREST
Man Deserts Family for Girl who
WORKED In His Home.

Man Deserts Family for Girl who
Worked I'm His Home.
William Beck and Lizzie Frahm, who
have been living as man and wife for
over a month at 1919 Third avenue, were
taken into custody yesterday by the po-
lice at the instance of the authorities OF
Pekin. Ill. Beck, who is a farmer, is said
to have deserted a wife and three small
children about six weeks ago and eloped
with the young woman, who was employed
as 2 domestic in his home. The girl is
said to be but II years of age, although
she appears to be older.
The local police were notified some time
ago to be on the lookout for the couple,
but we're unable TO locate them, as they
received all their mail in Omaha, where
they stopped at a hotel for a short time
before coming TO Council Bluffs. A let
ter recently written by Beck to a brother
in Illinois disclosed their whereabouts
and led to their arrest yesterday morn
ing.
Beck was locked up in the city Jail, while
the young woman was turned over to the
custody of Mrs. Johnson, the police
matron, who placed her in the creche un-
til the arrival OF al officer from Pekin.
A complaint charging Beck with a statu-
tory crime has been filed against him in
his home town.
During the religious services held yes
terday afternoon at the city jail Beck
appeared deeply moved and wept freely.
He announced his willingness TO return
to Illinois without requisition papers.
