Jack Lindsay sprang at once to his
feet.
When they reached the sickroom
he went up to the bedside.

gently, "and that the pain is easier"
The sick mans eyes flashed open.

you know about my illness?'
Nothing, sir" Lindsay answered
in some surprise. "Watson's tele-
gram merely said that you were Ill
and wished to see me. ! have heard
nothing further, except that Watson
told me he believed you had been
suffering very great pain"
Mr.. Arundale gave a faint sigh.
You'd better get rest; nurse" he
suggested; my nephew will give me
the medicine IL require It."
Mr.. Arundale lay still until the
sound OF her footsteps had died away
down the corridor.

The Road TO Success.

BENJAMIN Franklin, the great
American, when asked for the secret
Of success, gave the following max
inns:
One today is worth two to-morrows.
Eat not 10 fullness; drink not to
elevation.
They that won't be counseled can't
be helped.
Drive thy business; let not thy
business drive thee.
He that hath a calling hath an
office OF profit and honor.
TolerRte no uncleanliness in body

Keep your eyes wide open before
marriage. half shut afterward,
BE not disturbed at tribes, or at
accidents common or avoidable.
Early TO bed early 10 rise, makes
a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

others or yourself; avoid triHing con.

said CURLY. 1T may be too late, but
/ intend to call the nurse" He turned
determinedly toward the door, when
harsh voice arrested him.
Don't trouble" Il said quietly.
With simultaneous cry both men
faced round toward the bed.
Mr.. Arundale had raised himself on
his pillows and was watching his
nephews with wide open eyes. AS he
met their horrifed stare he began to
chuckle softly.
Its been very amusing 70 listen TO

Eric Wynford made an attempt to
speak, but no sound issued from his
lips.
His uncle glanced at him dispas-
sionately.
Eyes, admit II was rather hard 10
put you TO such a severe test" he
said coldly "and shall leave you
something as a slight compensation
for having played this little comedy
at your expense. You sec, a dying

Nothing more deadly than plain

With a cry of lnarticulate fury Eric
Wynford dashed out of the room.
Mr.. Arundale looked after him.

cost in aching limbs and the reaction
from the excitement of the races
But 1t is the man who expected to
make a fortune out of the event who
is the fall guy" of the western stock
chassis race. It is the Danny Dreamer
OF the races who is now smack IN
against the realization that the crowd
was vastly over estimated, and that
he has ton of sandwiches which ought
to be buried before they spoil. or a
barrel Of sickly lemonade that will have
to be poured into the ditch instead of
the dust covered threats of imaginary
thousands.
Much Money Lost
OF all of the promoters who had
grand stands. lemonade stands, parking
spaces, side shows, food dispensaries
and various and sundry other money
making schemes were terribly disap-
pointed in the crowd, and most of them
lost money.
If they had gone into the PROPOSE
ton conservatively they might have
made little money. but in nearly ev-
cry case the chances of winning looked
so bright that the man with an idea
plunged. and today he is nursing his
burnt fingers.
The University club made a little
money, the various program promoters
made money, Groman and Dinwiddie are
ahead of the game on their parking
space, Jourdain and Salisbury made up
their loss on their grand stand by the
profits on their parking spaces. Wheeler
and Hildebrandt made $500 apiece on
their grand stand, opposite the main
grand stand, when they had refused
$4,000 to sell the stand outright
West Course inaccessible.
Over on the west course the various
stands did not much more than make
expenses. This was in spite of the
large amount of free advertising that
was given the IS" curve and the other
dangerous turns on this part Of the
course. The points of vantage on the
west course were too inaccessible to at
tract any large number of people. Those
who erected stands on the right angle
turns were stung," for the reason that
the cars came to full stop in making
them, and they were not at all inter-
esting.
over in Lowell the crowds on Satur-
day We're much larger than they were
on the day previous, and this fact alone
prevented the fiat failure of numerous
grand stand projects in that vicinity.
Even at Rensselaer, preparations were
made for a large number of overflow
guests which the people down there
thought would pour in from Lowell and
other points along the course but there
was nothing doing and today Rensse-
laer is burying sandwiches along with
Crown Point and Cedar Lake.

CASH REGISTER EXPOSE
BY Sen BEVERIDGE
Indiana Senator Shows the
Injustice in Proposed
Tariff Rates.
SELLS CHEAPER ABROAD
Retailer Opens His Eyes When He
Sees Himself Bilked Out of the

TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis, June Ex-senator Bev-
ridges exposure on the floor of the
senate Saturday of the tactics en-
ployed by the cash register trust and
some of the comparative prices charged
for their product at home and abroad
has made cash register users all over
the state sit up and take notice. and
inghas caused a few more ounces of
sympathy to be added to that which
has been accommodating for the retailers
since the tariff agitation was started.
Some time ago it was charged that the
increased prices of commodities nee
cessary in the home was due to the
fancy price set by the retailers, be-
cause of a combination which enabled
them to fleece the consumer on all
sides, but subsequent inquiry has es-
tablished the fact that the retailers.
instead of being combined to boost
prices, are the victims of the manufac-
turers, too fully protected. and that the
fierce competition due to higher prices
has wrought havoc in the retail trade
Consequently, when Senator Beveridge
showed that the American retailer is
compelled to pay more for his cash reg

The cash register business has come

GRAND JURY
MEETS THIS
MORNING
Officer William Marquardt
UP Before Inquisitorial
Body on Charge of Muir
dering Andrew Ribar Dur
ing Riot.

William Marquardt and a dozen other
Gary people were summoned before the
grand jury in Hammond today to tes-
tify in the case of Marqusrdt, who is
charged with the murder of Andrew
Ribar.
1t is understood that there were a
number Of Gerry and Hobart people sum-
moned in another matter, which can
not be made public at this time. 1t is
rumored that alleged Gary gambling
is also on the grill. and there may be a
sensation along this line before the
jury adjourns.
Among those who were summoned
before the grand jury were DR.. Pack
ard DR.. Hosmer who attended Ribar
after he was shot; DR.. Gordon. who
held the inquest over the remains; John
Harkvi. who was with Ribar when he
was shot, and Mike ButoIa and Andrew
Matz. who have been in Jail in Crown
Point ever since the preliminary hear
ing on the charge of assault and bat
ter yin connection with the case.
Fred Wuerch and man by the name
of Minneway were also summoned be-
before the grand jury to testify before
that body in some case of which they
have knowledge.
To Indict Morbid Youth.
William Osborn will also be compelled
to appear before the grand jury and
answer TO the charge of having at
tempted TO wreck Grand Trunk train
near Griffith by putting a railroad tie
across the track.
When seen in Jail this morning and
asked why he should have done such a
thing, the youth said that he did not
know what possessed him to attempt
such thing He said he never read
a dime novel in his life; did not have
it in for the train crew or the railroad.
and in fact could give no reason for
imperiling the lives of the train crew
and the passengers of the railroad.
The presumption is that the young
man is daft and that he was possessed
with a morbid desire to learn what
would happen after he put the tie on
the track. Fortunately the wrecking
of the train was prevented, the
young man is likely to bse sent where
he cannot endanger the lives Of his
fellow beings.

of instructions to enumerators on
both left sides of the sheet so that
it can be cut off after the filled-in
schedule has been returned to the
census bureau. This makes the
schedule smaller in size and better
adapted for handling in tabulation
that previous schedules. A separ-
ate book of instructions to enumer-
ators supplements the schedule in
formation.
The nine million copies will con-
sumo $500 reams of paper, which,
counting 50 pounds to the ream,
will make a weight of $4,000
pounds. The charge for printing,
including the cost of paper, will be
$4,000. The schedule is SO stand
ardized that it will feed on the per-
fecting press used at the govern
ment printing office, which makes
5000 revolutions per hour and
prints four schedules at each revo-
luton, or a product of $4,000 per
hour, as against the old flat-bed
presses used on the 1900 schedules
with a speed of from 1900 to 1900
revolutions per hour. 1t will take
about three weeks to print them
withs the press running 16 hours a
day.
