so there!" She tossed a handful of
sand into space. She was angry with
herself for the foolish tears that had
started.
Then there came startled little cry
Of pain. Some of the sand had blown
directly into Dickie Boys blue eyes.
A few moments later, when he had
been drawn out into the light and had
stammered his honest excuses, he laid
the ribbon wrapped packet in his
lady's lap and would have turned and
led but his limbs seemed to have lost
the power Of locomotion.
Eleanor swiftly united the ribbon
while Dickie watched her adoringly.
He was not afraid of her, ever, but of
the big strange gentleman with the Sc
rious eyes.
"Oh, oh, ohr' cried Eleanor. "What
a dear, cunning little heart" She held
up a heart shaped pin tray between
her eyes and the light. "And it's
blsque, real bisQue. But who sent it,
Dickie Boy?"
~ bought 1t, | did," assured Dickie,
swelling with dignity.
"Why, Dickie, Dickie Boy! Wherever
In the world did you get so much
money! she said tenderly, drawing
him down to her side and pushing bacl,

his eyes.

ally, displaying his hard, brown little
hands, which showed unDistakable
signs of wrestle with a stubborn soil.
"Oh, Dickie, Dickie Boy! And yoT

"Do more'n that for you, l would
Id do anything for you," said he stout
ly. "An' I wanted you to have some
thin to remember me by when you
was gone"
Involuntarily Eleanor turned to the
grave face behind her. Blair had moi
spoken. He was looking at the cliffs
which frowned darkly against the glow
| Of the sunset sky, and it suddenly
struck her how deep were the lines that
loneliness and pain had carved. Quick
| ly she glanced down again at the ador
| ing small countenance ON her arm
Years before Blair's face had worn
that same look Of boyish idolatry. The
remembrance of 1t touched her now az
his manly devotion had failed to do.
"Ill keep the little heart always
Dickie." she said, rising from the sand
and STOPPING to kiss the boys forehead
as she did so.
"An' you won't break it?" inquired
Dickie anxlously. Eleanor smiled
strangely. The bit Of bisque had come
to her as token.
mo, Dickie Boy, shall never break
any more hearts. think-never any
more" Turning to the man, she said
gently: "Blair. dear, I'd like to walk
UP the hill and see the last of the sun
set. Will you Gomez"
The man stopped at sight Of the
/ girls face. There was about 1t Q
strange radiance that touched while Il
uplifted him.
And as the two went up the hill to
gether Dlckle followed at respectful
distance, turning handsprings.

OFFICER
PLEADS GUILTY
Distinguished Company Commander
Commended by Chaffee and Otis
Sentenced to Prison for
Two and Hall Years

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.--Captain
Thomas Franklin. u. S. A., twice COM
mended by Gen. Adna r. Chaffee and
Gen. Elwell S. Otis for distinguished
service in China and Manila, pleaded
guilty today to a long series of petty
embeZzlements from the mess fund of
the West Point cadets.
He was sentenced by Judge Hand
in the United States circuit court to
two years and six months in the fed
eral penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. His
counsel gave notice that he would
apply for a writ of error and review.
As commissary and treasurer of the
military academy Captain Franklin
had charge of pay checks of the
cadets, which he deposited with the
United States subtreasury in this city
and drew against for mess supplies.
The total amount of his defalcations
ran to $3.50, of which $4S3l was rep
resented by false vouchers for APP
proval of the United States military
academy.
At his first arraignment last June
Franklin pleaded not guilty and sub
seuuently demurred The demurrers
today.
The statute of limitations in the
court martial bars offense committed
only two years back as against three
years in the federal court, and for this
reason Judge Hand and not Major
General Wood heard the case.
The sentence, besides the penalty 1t
sets, automatically cashiers Captain
Franklin from the army and depriVes
his family of any prospects OF a re-
tirement pension.

row Escape at Crossing While
on Their Way Home
Last Night

Car No. 6l7 of the West Eleventh
street line of the Los Angeles railway,
in charge of Motorman w. Il. Stollley,
crashed into car No. III of the West
Second street line at Second and
Broadway last night shortly after IL
o'clock, just as the crowds from the
Mason opera house were pouring out
on the street, and injuring Garrett r.
Mann, 155 Westlake avenue.
Mann was rushed to the receiving
hospital. where it was found that his
injuries consisted of a deep cut over
the right eye. Half a dozen passen-
gers of each car were more or less
shaken up, but none seriously hurt,
The back end of car 121 was wrecked,
but after half an hours work by the
wreclxing crew it was placed ON the
track and carried passengers to their
destination. The fender and front end
of car 617 was stove in and several
panes of glass broken. 80
In the miXup Pearl ThOrnburg, l03
North Hope, lost her handbag contain
ing a small purse with SO bill and
some small change in it.
Mann was riding on the step. When
the Eleventh street car, which was run
ming north at the time. struck the Sec
ond street car Mann was thrown Vio-
lently to the ground. cutting his eye
on the rail. James Sweeney, husband
of Beth Hardy of the "Three Twins
company. was the first to render aid to
the injured man. He picked Mann up,
and communicating an auto standing
handy, rushed the injured man to the
hospital.
W. Shoaff, 1446 South Union avenue,
was standing on the West Eleventh
street car Immediately behind the mo-
torman when the collision occurred.
According to Shoaff Motorman Stohley,
who had been complaining of being
sleepy, was not looking ahead of him
but down at the controller. He got the
signal to go ahead and turned on the
power. The car shot forward. In an
instant he realized that his car would
strike the West Second street coach
He reversed the power, but, as the
tracks had been made wet and slippery
by a street sprinkler, he could not stop
the momentum of the coach Stohley
said his car had right of way.
AS usual in all such accidents all
information was refused by the train
dispatcher.

Three Women
Associated Pressl

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 1S,-Deyelop-
ments tonight in the aftermath of the
triple murder of last Friday gave rise
to the fact that not a single murderer,
but possibly two or three were guilty
of the crime.
County officers tonight declare that
]. c. Hunter. husband Of Mrs. Maggie
Hunter. is certainly one. Mrs. Hunter
died today.
The officers say the chain of evil
dence is complete, asserting that some
clothing badly stained and apparently
spattered with blood found today, and
alleged to belong to Hunter, is the
final link.
This clothing. it is declared, was
worn by Hunter on the day the crime
was committed.
1t was declared tonight by ply
sican at the Savannah hospital that
in statements made in a moment Of
consciousness Mrs. Hunter today
charged the crimes to her husband,
and that, she said. he was helped by
a negro man when the blows were
struck that caused her death,
Rev. j. S. Wilder, pastor of Bap-
tist church, said that Mrs. Hunter
after recognizing him, declared a white
man had struck the fatal blows.
Today and tonight the police con-
tinued their questioning of Hunter
who has been a prisoner since Satur-
day. He stoutly denies any guilt.
Mayor Tiedman tonight asked that
no extra editions of the newspapers be
issued carrying the developments in
the case, and, although one paper had
gone to press, the edition was sup
