At last she broke the seal, and with
blushing cheeks and beating heart de-
voured her first love letter.
1t ran thus:
"My own: No words can tell you
what l have suffered during these
last days. l have scarcely slept or
eaten. Your sweet face haunts me day
and night. I know now by these few
days without sight Of you what /
should suffer If you were to lose me
forever. Stella, my darling, you
were right in your estimate of Sir
Richards character. He is base, vile.
treacherous. Something has occurred
to convince me that my happiness is
in danger, and that unless steps are
taken to Illustrate the plans I shall be
ruined and our two hearts torn asun-
der. Stella, you alone can Illustrate
the vile scheme; you alone can save
me! viii you do it? 1t will need a
sacrifce-many perhaps. l cannot tell
you more now or by these means; but
if you love me, meet me at nine
o'clock tomorrow night, here in the
garden, at the wicket gate. AS We are
watched closely it would be better
should you see me before to take no
notice. Tomorrow I look for you at
nine o'clock. I know how great a
thing l am asking of you, but know
that your love will count it little for
your own

ASK ASSIGNEES TO
SURRENDER STOCK
TRUSTEE OF ALLEN ESTATE
SEEKS RECOVERY OF PROP
ERTY WITHHELD.
Madison, Jan. 81.

Madison, Jan. q.
The Allen bankruptcy matter was
again before Referee H. M Lewis
yesterday. c. f. Spensley of Mineral
Point and c. l.. Williams, receiver OF
the First National bank OF that city,
having been summoned to appear ana
show cause why they should not de
liver unto the Central Wisconsin
Trust company as trustee in bank
ruptcy of the said Alien, a full ana
complete account of all stocks, bonds
and other property transferred to
them or either of them by Allen, and
why they should not at once transfer
to the aforesaid trustee all OF such
stock and other property, together
with all books, papers and other mem
oranda belonging to Allen and now In
their possession.
The proceeding was based upon a
petition from the Trust company, FLED
early last week, in which it was al
Legged that the Trust company had
BEN unable to secure possession OF
all of the property of the Allen es-
tate, that it believed that either
Spensley or Williams had other prop
erty of Aliens but that although 1t
had made a demand upon both OF
them, they had thus far failed TO turn
over any additional property. upon
this showing the order to show cause
was made, and served upon both
Williams and Spensley. Spensley ap-
peared in court yesterday morning,
and secured a postponement of TWEEN
ty-f0ur hours for the purpose OF pre-
pairing and filing his answer. Recelv-
er Williams did not appear, either m
person or by attorney. He is at pres
ent out of the city, but Immediately
upon his return will be called upon
to file an answer to the order.

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result IS shortness OF
breath, snothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

THE NEW YORK FIGHT
 RACED OVER SUNDAY
THE "oLD GUARD" STILL PRO-
 FEssEs CONFIDENCE.
A Claim That Only Forty Votes Are
 Needed.

Saratoga, Sept 25.-The battle of the "Old Guard' and the progressives for the control of the party through the state convention, which meets on Tuesday, continued unabated today, but interest was shifted from the Sherman Roosevelt fight to the nature of the platform, with special emphasis on the direct nominations plank.
 Although it had been announced by the progressive leaders that the committee would not be asked tp re- consider the vote by which Mir Sher- man was selected over Colonel Roose- welt as temporary chairman. 1t was said tonight that the "0ld Guard" would take the bull by the horns and force the issue on its own account.
 This indicates that the "Old Guard" regards itself as still safely en- trenched in the committee.
 Though indications point to the safe control of the convention by Roose- Welt, there IS a report at lne Olu Guard" headquarters that only forty votes are needed to swing the con- Guard" is saying tonight that the line up on temporary chairman will be very different proposition from the line up on the platform.
 It is rumored that trouble is likely to arise over the Taft endorsement. endorsement of the administration, but there are hints that the "Old Guard" will attempt to put the republicans of New York on record as endorsing Taft for 1912.

New York, Sept. 25.-For the first time in the history of railway unions, members and delegates. representing 31S.OOO men in the four great divi- sions of railway employees in the east, voted unanimously today to take con certed action in national and state politics.

"Whatever your political affiliations to your true interest or prevent you from doing what you think best. See that the men you vote for stand for right principles. Regardless of party. support those who meet your require ments and you will not only be doing the best thing for yourselves but for the public" This is not a political move as it is generally understood but move get away from the old lines of partisan politics"
 Pursuant to this plan it was voted to send a series of eight questions to national and state candidates, parti- cularly candidates for the legislature and congress. asking for their opinion as to the universal adoption of safety appliances. an employers liability law where such does not already exist, pensions for superannuated em- ployes. hours of labor and other mat ters of kindred interest.

Happen.

New York, Sept 25.-This week will see the new football rules brought out for public inspection in most of the big eastern colleges. Yale, Harv- ard. Princeton. Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown. West Point, and Annapolis will all play opening games this week.
 Yale, completing a two weeks sea son of elementary practice on Tues day, will be back on the Yale field on Wednesday for the opening game with the Wesleyan under new football rules, cautiously in accordance with the crafty Yale system of perfecting new plays in practice before exhibiting them.
 Wesleyan, however, promises to open the game with new formations and may force Yale to exhibit :he possibilities of revised football at least on the defensive side.
 The program of Wednesday in cludes a game at Philadelphia be- tween Pennsylvania and Dickinson. Probably the best game of the week will be at New Haven on Saturday. Yale against Syracuse
 In all the camps there is still a feeling of uncertainty as to the work ing of the new rules. Consensus of opinion is that in the tandems and other mass plays the coaches will be compelled to abandon many forma- tions. The new rules place a premium on speed and agility and call for more quick thinking.

The first were slight but became stronger each day and night until the finale on Fri day. The first shock threw a almp off a camp box in McNichols' tent. broke down a bed and rolled him off a mattress but the next quake. more violent than the rest. literally threw him back on the bed.
 McNichols found all the men out side the tents wildly excited and be- ing frightened himself by the rum blings in the old mountain and the paroxyms of the earth beneath his feet, he ordered the camp to be broken, and at midnight the seven began their march to this city
