never had received any Of his more re.
cent letters.
! lie slipped the package into his
pocket with word of thanks to Chez
Gers, and then he left the turmoil of
the rummage sale to look for Nella.
He met her just leaving her home,
and as he came up the walk she re-
| garded him curiously.
Il came to deliver my letters In per
son and to make certain of their de-
livery" announced Dick. Can you
give me few minutes?"
Nella made no move to re-enter the
house. and Dick was too wise to press
the point.
Il was helping Maude at the rum
mage sale" he explained. "Cheevers
found these letters in Alexander's old
overcoat. l might explain that when
left my letter-this thick one-Alexan-
der was just going out. and he had his
overcoat on when he came to the door,
but he promised to deliver it to you at
once. His ideas of delivery seem to be
to stun things in his pocket and for
get all about them"
Nella started as she recognized her
own letters, and hastily she glanced
over some Of them. She saw in a mo-
ment what Dick had already realized,
and her lips trembled as she recalled
the misery she had suffered since the
quarrel.
She loved Dick very dearly, even
well enough to offer forgiveness when
she had felt that he was in the wrong.
and to have him make no reply to the
kindly letter had hurt both heart and
pride.
Now she could see that Dick had
promptly concealed his error and that
all the suffering had been caused by
one small and very black youngster,
who had been brought home from the
south because he had seemed so "ente."
Il am afraid that Alexander will
never make messenger for Cupid"
said Nella softly. II am so sorry,
Dick. that we trusted too much to him,
but had no idea that he was SO care
less. Think Of the trouble That he has
caused US both. Will you come in
and
"Make upY asked Dick promptly.
ITO be sure I will and only too glad
to do it."
She led the way into the house, and
as the great hall door swung shut be-
hind them he caught her in his arms
and covered her face with kisses. A
low chuckle from the far end Of the
hall disturbed them, and without q
word Dick darted down into the shad
owS ~
There followed wild yells and the
sound Of strange explosives. Dick came
back flushed, but smiling.
II shook him some" he explained.
"for both you and me. Wasn't 1t just
like Alexander to be hanging around?'
''He will be sent home" declared
Nella. Eve cannot trust him again.
You were dear. Dick, that you didn't
kill him.
81 wanted to-" admitted Dick, "but,
then. what's the use? I've got you
again. And all because helped Maude
at the rummage sale. She said that
charity, like virtue, was its own re-
ward, but l didn't realize the high
premium 1t paid"

CONFERENCE ASKS
ABOLITION OF TRIBE
Belief at MOhOnk Lake Meeting that
indian should BE Free TO Act
as Other Citizens.

MoHoNK LAKE, oct. 22.-Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Mohonk platform were
themes under review today at the Mohonk
conference. The speakers at the morning
session who discussed the present and flu
ture Of Porto Rico were Major General
George w. Davis, U. S.. A, formerly gov
ernor Of Porto Rico and later governor Of
the Panama canal zone; Regis H. Post,
ex-governor of Porto Rico; William f. Will
~loughby, president of the executive coun-
ell; Charles Furtzell, formerly secretary Of
state, and Cayetano Coily of San Juan,
member of the Porto Rican house Of dele
gates.
The conference adopted a platform stand
ing for the abolition Of the tribal relation
for the Indian, in which the Fundamental
rights of the individual are denied; the
substitution Of personal for tribal prop
erty; the recognition of the Indians right
to travel freely and peaceably and to buy
and sell In the open market, and his ulti-
mate admission to American citizenship.
The Filipino platform advocates opening
to him the American market, as it has been
opened to the Hawaiian and the Porto
Rican. It means that the relationship be-
tween the United States and their insnlar
possessions should be clearly defined at
the earliest practicable date.

Boy,s MarveIous Recovery.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 22.-(Special.)
"A somewhat unusual case is that Of little
Floyd Dischner. the 5-year-old son of well
known residents of Garretson, near Sioux
Falls. On July "a last he was seriously in
jured by being caught in a wheel Of a de-
livery wagon. Before he could be rescued
he was whirled completely around the
wheel. Investigation disclosed hat each of
his legs had been broken in two places. A
fracture near the hip was the most SER
ious, as the bone was broken i'm two places.
A fracture near the hip was the most SER
ious, as the bone was broken almost into
the hip Joint. The boy was placed under
the influence of chloroform and the frac-
lures reduced, after which a permanent
dressing was Immediately applied. A frame
work was then made, to which his feet
were attached in such a manner as to ele-
vate his legs and lower part of his body.
II was necessary to keep him In this UNI
comfortable position for a period Of five
weeks and three days. The splints were
not taken off his legs until the expiration
Of fifty-two days. His legs now are as
straight as ever.

O'Connor Here

Funds Necessary to Keep Up Fight
for Home Rule-Budget is
Pivotal Point.

NEW YORK. oct. ~22.-Budding hopes for
home rule for ireland are held out by T.
p. O'Connor. who arrived here today on
the Lusitania to spend a short time in this
country raising funds to aid the irish par
liamentary party. AS the situation now
stands everything hinges on the action to
be taken by the House Of Lords on the
budget, said Mr.. o'Connor.
"If the budget is thrown out by the
House of Lords" said Mr.. O'Connor, ut
means a general election, which will ne
cessitate large expenditures by our party.
The election will help ireland. because It
is bound to be followed by a fair balancing
Of the parties that will make the Irish
vote an important factor in Parliament.
Just what the House OF Lords will do
with the budget is p~roblematlcal. Person
ally I have always been under the i'm
preston that It would pass the budget.
IF the budget is defeated It means a
general election, and then the question will
be decided whether the powers Of veto Of
the House Of Lords shall be curtailed."
A deputation from the municipal council
OF the United Irish League of America
greeted the Irish leader at the pier and
tonight he will be rendered q reception by
several organizations.
Mr.. O'Connor's itinerary for his stay In
his country will take him to Chicago,
Philadelphia and Washington.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. ~22.-tspeclal
.Telegram.)-High wind this afternoon
greatly marred the foot ball game between
Doane and Grand Island colleges In the
state Intercollegiate contest, which resulted
in a score Of is 10 0, in favor Of Doane.
The visitors had the best of II at every
stage OF the game. Doane was heavier
and its team work was better. The locals
expected to use the forward pass to ad-
vantage, but the wind prevented this. In
the first half OF twenty-five minutes Doane
kicked against the wine to the locals, who
soon were forced to punt. After fifteen
minutes OF play Doane made a touchdown,
mostly by line smashes. The locals kicked
against the win to Doane, who by a for
ward pass and line smashes made another
touchdown. No goal was kicked in this
half.
In the second half the locals kicked to
iDoane and the visitors were forced to punt.
The ball was kicked back and forth con-
tinually until five minutes before the last
half, when Doane made good gains by the
forward pass and made another touchdown
and kicked goal. Final score, Is to 0.
Holbert and Wilkerson played a star
game for Doane and Keilenbarger n
Swanson for Grand Island. Four players
were put out Of the game. but none seri-
ously injured.

it Annulled.

CHICAGO. oct. 22.-The suit seeking
annullment of the divorce, granted Grace
b. Guggenhelm from william Guggenheim,
eight years ago in Chicago, came to an
abrupt close here today, when Judge
Honore indefinitely postponed the hearing.

divorce the testimony of Mrs. Guggenheim
showed that she was a resident Of Illinois,
Mrs. ~Guggenheim claims recently to have
discovered that her testimony was in error
on this point.
The matter was laid before Mr.. Dunno,
who is no longer On the bench, and he,
declaring that fraud had been practised on
the court and the people of the state out
ragged thereby, filed a petition for the
annullment of the marriage. Attorney Will
liam Seabury came from New York to
represent Mrs. G~uggenheim and Judge
Dunno, while the young smelter magnat
had as counsel Samuel Untermyer of New
