Il am coming home. Evelyn. After

Bruce would tell me that no one ever

you two are about to enter upon a

missed happiness in my search for

Bruce and Evelyn looked at each

said at last.
From out of the shadows Philip Her

Yes" Evelyn told him, her beau

VENDING BEHIND IRON BARS
Detectives Covered $4,000 Miles in tho
Hunt for Alleged Murderer.

Louisville.-Joseph Vending, who
was returned to Louisville Friday, af-
ter a remarkable chase, to stand trial
on the charge Of killing little Alma
Kellner, is a prisoner of the common.
wealth Of Kentucky.
The return of Vending to Louis.
vile marks the end of probably the
longest chase in detective history. The
return trip from San Francisco to Lou
isvilie stretches the real hunt of about
1900 miles TO a total Of over $4,000
miles.
Not until May 50, the day the mutt.
lated body Of Alma kelluer was found
in a cellar beneath St. Johns paro-
chial school, was Vending connected
with the disappearance OF the chilI. 1t
was believed that the child had been
kidnapped. Numerous letters were re-
ceived by the Kellner family and
Frank Fehr, a wealthy brewer and
uncle of the girl, demanding ransom
for her return.
Four months previous to the discov.
cry Of the body Vending had left
Louisville quietly, not even letting his
wife know that he was going away.
When bloody clothing was found in
Weddings room he was charged with
the murder, and the wheels Of the
continuous search for Vending were
set in motion.
The evidence against Vending will
be purely circumstantial, according to

COTTON LADING CONCESSIONS
Returning New Orleans Banekr Ex.
presses His Confidence.

New Orleans, La.-That there may
be some concessions on the part OF
the English bankers in regard to their
demands that American bankers guar
antee bills of lading on cotton, is the
opinion of S. j. WeXler, a New Or
leans banker, who has just returned
from Europe, where he attended the
conference held to discuss this sub
ject.
The new rule does not become eff:
fective until October 81" said Mr..
Wexler. 81 am hopeful that the con-
ference to be held in London Sep
TENDER 5, between American bankers
and English fnanciers, will bring
about notifications of the demands.
On no commodity except cotton do
they make such a demand. Further
more, the plan obtains only with ref
erence to cotton from America, and
from no other country"

three as they sat in the dim room.
They had all loved Christine, and she
had been engaged to Bruce; but feel
ing the call Of her genius, she had
chosen a career rather than marriage.
And now Evelyn and Bruce were en-
gagged and Christine was coming back.
Behind the samovar Evelyn whis.
pered to her lover, 81 am afraid"
"Of WHAT" he demanded.
THAT when she comes back YOU
will find that you have not forgotten
her"
He shook his head. She did not
love me, and now l know that | did
not love her-not in thet way that l
love you, Evelyn"
Their voices after that sank into a
murmured monotone. The darkness
gathered, and the man on the couch,
looking through the parted curtains,
could see the stars. He thought Of
the girl who was coming back. When
she had gone away she had been radi-
ant with hope and beauty. She had
been courted by a dozen admirers.
And she was coming back a failure:
coming back to find her lover ready to
marry another woman.
His heart ached for her as II had
never ached for himself. His own
love had been hidden that she might
not be hurt by seeing it, but through all
the years there had been for him no
other woman.
And even as he thought Of her she
came. parting the curtains softly and
standing there In the dimness before
any Of them saw her.
She laughed a little as she came
toward them, and they jumped to
their feet in startled amazement.
You didn't expect me so soon?" she
asked. and kissed Evelyn and gave
her hands to Bruce and TO Philip. She
had lost some of her beauty. She was
paler and thinner, and the light was
gone from her eyes. She gave a little
tired sigh as she dropped into the
chair that Philip had placed in front
of the fire for her.
How good 1t seems to be with you
all again." she said, "the three dear
people with whom | played as a
child"
Presently she went on, And now,
Evelyn is going to marry Bruce, which
is as it should be. | have come back
to give you my blessing"
The word was said lightly, but
Philip, watching her, saw the trouble
in her face. Did she still love Bruce?
Would this marriage make her still
more unhappy?
