 Pinckney hestated. His inclination was to throw Marsh out, but an idea, born of a girls taunting. was in his mind. and he felt he must temporize. It was bitter to surrender to an em- ployee, but Pinckney was a man who would submit to any number of minor defeats for q big end
 So he forced the best smile he could and held out his hand.
 Forgive me. Marsh" he said. CT am hot tempered. you know, and l have had great deal to worry me. You have always had wrong idea of me ever since that unfortunate acci- dent in the chemical room. But every one makes mistakes. Marsh. You know that"
 The old man forced down the lump which the mention of "that accident" brought in his throat.

DUEL AT SCHOOLHOUSE Indian Killed and Officer Wounded in Fight Amid
 School Children

MUSKOGEE, Okla, October 26.- Barricaded in the county schoolhouse full of children near Sleeper, Okla, yesterday, Jack Willis, young Chero- kee Indian, fought a duel with officers, resulting in his own death and the fatal wounding of Constable Fletcher. Willis resisted arrest for a trivial of fense. Finding himself pursued, he sought refuge Tn a schoolhouse. When the officers appeared Willis opened fire, wounding Fletcher at the first shot Rolling over on his side, the officer kept up fire on Willis. The children, panic striken, escaped through the windows. Meantime Constable Wilson crawled close to the building and, locating Willis, shot him dead.

 U fdther had not started BOu" girl almost immediately felt herself drawn to him. They had so many in terests In common. She knew ma chinery and knew all about the works, and he was up in that too. Then he drove, walked, played tennis, danced and golfed better than any one she knew in Pittsburg. So it was no won- der that from the time of Sommers' arrival Pinckney found himself put aside.
 For week the manager of the steel works did not notice the fast growing friendship. He was very busy and had little time for outside interests. Then, also, he felt so confident that he did not pay as much attention to Frances and what she was doing as he might have had he imagined there was the slightest chance of serious rivalry. That idea at first did not enter his head. Compared to his own position, he considered the post of lieutenant in the navy insignificant. It was not until week had gone by and he dis covered that Frances had been out with the officer for several hours each day that he finally awoke to the dan ger of the situation from his point of view. Then his first move was fool ish. He asked Frances to go to the theater with him that night.
 "I am awfully sorry, Edward" she told him; "but, you see, Mr.-Sommers and I are going tonight to that play. But I am sure he would be glad to have you come along. I'll get one of the girls, and we will make up party"
 "No, thanks" the man retorted shortly. q don't care anything for the theater, you know. l only asked because I thought you might wish to see the play"
 She smiled on him sweetly.
 q know how self sacrificing you are, Edward, about the theater; but, you see, you need not bother while Mfr. SOmmers is here. You have been aw- fully good to me about it, but now you can have a long rest, because, you see, he is devoted to 1t, and he says he gets ashore so seldom that he likes to go at every opportunity. Isn't that nice for youT
 "of course that is all right, Frances"
