Torp's arrival. Margaret had gone
abroad, without waiting for the
promised advice in the matter of the
wedding gown. With admirable re-
gard for the proprieties she had quite
declined to let Logotheti cross the
channel with her. but had promised
to see him at Versailles, where she
was going to stop a few days with her
mothers old American friend, the ex-
cellent Mrs. Rushmore, with whom
she meant to go to Bayreuth to hear
"Parsifap for the first time.
Mrs. Rushmore had disapproved pro
foundly of Margaret's career, from the
first. After Mrs. Donne's death, she
had taken the forlorn girl under her
protection, and had encouraged her to
go ON with what she vaguely called
her music lessons" The good lady

BaralSa. a Tartar girl, became enamored
of golden bearded stranger who was
prospecting and studying herbs in the
vicinity of her home in central Asia, and
revealed to him the location of mine

They were followed to the cave by the
girls relatives, who blocked up the en-
trance, and drew of the water supply

the traveller shot him. The stranger was

OMAHA PEOPLE
GREATLY EXCITED
THE GREAT COOPER AS He IS
CALLED HAS STIRRED UP THAT
CITY TO A REMARKABLE
DEGREE.

Omaha, Nebraska, January 26.--This
city is at present in the midst Of an
excitement beyond anything that 1t
has experienced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was a
stranger to Omaha up to two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is l.. T. Cooper, President Of
the Cooper Medicine Co, Of Dayton,
Ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparations in this city for the
first time.
Cooper is a man about thirty years
Of age and has acquired a fortune
within the past two years by the sale
of some preparations of which no Is
the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-
ceeded the young man here were Of
the most startling nature, many Of
the leading dailies going so far as to
state that he had nightly cured in
public places rheumatism of years
standing with one of his preparations.
The physicians Of the East contradict.
ed this statement, claiming the thing
to be impossible, but the facts seemed
to bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did so.
In consequence people fiocked to
him by thousands and his prepara-
tions sold like wildfire.
Many of these stories were regard
ed as fictitious in Omaha and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
when he began giving demonstrations.
as he calls them, in public, and daily
met people afflicted with rheumatism,
and with a single application of one
of his preparations actually made
them walk without the aid of either
canes or crutches.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
vanced the theory that stomach trou-
BILE is the foundation of nine out OF
ten diseases and claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order and thus
get rid Of such troubles as catarrh and
affections of the kidneys and liver, in
about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep
aration, and now all Omaha is ap-
parently mad over the young man.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems to be no sign
of a let-up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be fad that will die out
as soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, 1t must
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished a great deal for the sick Of
this city with his preparations.

an age of colossal fortunes she had
often heard his spoken Of with the
half-dozen greatest. You can do
quite great deal of good with forty
thousand pounds year."
Van Torp's rough-hewn speech rang
through her head, ana somehow its
reckless grammar gave it strength
and made it stick in her memory, word
for word In the drawer of the writ
ing table before which she was sitting
there was little file of letters that
meant more to her than anything else
in the world, except one dear memory.
They were all from rescued women,
they all told much the same little
story, and it was good to read. She
had made many failures, and some
terrible ones, which she could never
forget; but there were real successes,
too, there were over a dozen of them
now, and she had only been at work
for three years. II she had more
money, she could do more; If she had
much she could do much and she
knew of one or two women who could
help her. What might she not accom-
plish in a lifetime with the vast sum
her friend offered her!-the price of
hindering a marriage that was almost
sure to turn out badly, perhaps as
badly as her own!-the money value
of a compromise with her conscience

But he said no more, for he was

quietly let himself out of the house

Cleveland, Ohio, January N.-President W. G. Lee, of the Brotherhod of Raii- way Trainmen, and Grand Chief A. B. Garretson, of the Order of Railway Con ductors, will meet in the east Monday to enter formally upon the negotiations which will determine the outcome of the present dispute between the rail- roads and their employees.
 President Lee announced tonight be- fore leaving for Chicago that he has al- ready picked out one railroad on which will be made test of the trainmen's 8 demands Neither he nor Grand Chief Garretson however have intimated to the employees committees which road this is.
 Owing to the fact that the replies re- ceived are practically uniform, the two brotherhood leaders believe that a set clement on the one road will lead to Q similar adjustment on all the others.
 It is known to the employees com mittee that railroads are preparing to grant an advance in wages. Whether or not the men will receive the s2.52 on the basis of 10-hour day, 10o-miles run. is less certain. The real dispute. 1t is conceded, will come on the question of payment to the train crews for the work done before starting on the days runs.
