CONSERVATION FOLK
EXPECT PRESIDENT
St. Paul Will Entertain Large Men
and Large Gathering of Con-
servationists Sept. S.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 2.--PrcSi-
dent William II. Taft will receive his
third invitation to attend the Big ma
tional conservation congress in St
Paul early in September, at the hauds
of a delegation of prominent Mime
sofa men who will meet him early
this week at Beverly, Mass, upon bis
return from his present cruise, and
extend the greetings and cordial re-
quest of the people of Minnesota that
he be present. The president some
weeks ago received an official invi-
tation from the conservation conyt ees
as an organization, and later a per-
sonal invitation from President Ba-
ker. Mnnesota's invitation will come
from the local board of manag RS for
the congress, Governor \. @. Eberhart
and the people of the state and will
be extended by a committee point
ed by the governor consisting of
George Thompson, G. NJ. Griggs and
Frank b. Kellogg of st. Paul and
George II. Partridge, II. V. Jones and
e. J Phelps of Minneapolis. Gov
ernor Eberhart will accompany the
delegation.
Should President Taft find it pos
sible to accept the Minnesota invita-
ton of the congress. he will speak
before the greatest gathering of con-
servation delegates the country has
ever seen on the morning of Sept ),
the first day of the congress. The
prospect that he will be one Of the
speakers hHs been a factor in an i'm
portant change in the dates by which
the congress will open one day earlier
than previously announced, beginning
Sept. > and continuing for five days.
rhe first day will be "Presidents and
Governors Day" and it is expected
that the afternoon session will be at
tended by a large majority of the
governors of the forty states which
have already appointed conservation
commissions. This session will close
ly parallel the famous Washington
sessions of the governors of the states
and like their conservation confer
ences will deal with the conservation
problems Of the states. The program
cOntemplates that the important con-
srrVatiOn questions of the separate
states will be presented by the gov
errors of those states and that the dis
cussions will be practical and valua-

Lady Milicent forced an angry flush through
Milly's freckled skin. Thoughts of beautiful
Mildred and the four masked rufians at the
lonely turn in the road flashed through her
mind. And then, almost before she knew il

"Honest? Oh, isn't that Just too mean! ;"
They began discussion as to the probable
fate of Sir Charles face under the circum-
stances described. Mr.. Mayer hopefully
suggested that it might have " frightened up
or suddenly cleared" But Milly was pes
simistic She just knew that his face fell, !"
or, at the very least, assumed a puzzled ex-
preston.

"Red wins, black loses"
She felt her rescuer's arm tighten until it
was like rod of steel, but he made no retort.
Just like what the Lord Mayor would
have DONE" she told herself
'sMy name is Mayer" her escort finally
volunteered.
What? She could scarcely believe her
ears.
Charles Mayer" he added.
Sir Charles! 1t was true, then. She gave
a convulsive start.
There, there" he said soothingy "I'm
afraid those rowdies have unnerved you.
Miserable curs!"

him.

think 500" she ended lamely. And though
they talked Of many things as they walked
along, that was the nearest Milly got to asking
about that story paper.
Mr.. MAYER, while most sympathetic lis
tener, did not volunteer much information
about himself.
The following afternoon, while Milly was
engaged in sorting out the ten-cent can
openers that had found their way into the five
cent tray during the rush hour she was star
tied by the sound of certain familiar voice.
~ trust you have fully recovered from the
shock OF last evenings unpleasant expert
ence," MIR. Mayer was saying solicitously.
Milly, trihe flustered, gave him to under
stand that she had.
II thought that with your permission
would combine pleasure with business by pur-
chasing a few little trifies for which i have
need in my household This pair of nippers
for example can-opener? All, to be sure
How stupid of me! I'll take one.
From little remarks that Mr.. Mayer LEI
drop in the course of his visits to the store
Milly gradually gathered that he was highly
successful artist with permanent studio or
Sixth avenue and summer studio on the
boardwalk at Asbury Park.
Early next morning Mily, all excitement
tore open pale blue envelope addressed in /;
bold, flowing hand.
Mr.. Mayors mother, she read, had heare

meet her, and would be charmed if she
would dine with them that evening in thei

"What on earth have got to wear?"
SO" she read on, "of course we vii
expect you to come just as you are"

ooh, en- tamiAc Lady Miliccnt heaved
"a sigh of relief.
Unless they heard from her in the mean
time Mr.. Mayer would call for her at the
store.
Closing time found him promptly on hand.
During the walk over Milly became more and
more i'll at ease. To tell the truth it was the
first time in her life that she had really dined
out. But the motherly faced old lady who
opened the door of the third floor, front, in
stantly made her feel at home.
".Mother" protested Mr.. Mayer.
They sat down to such a dinner that even
ing as Milly had never dreamed existed.
Never mind what they had.
"And now,' said Mrs. Mayer, when at
last it was over, if you children will go in the
parlor while | clear the tablets so much
easier to do it now than to leave it"

finished the thought with deep-drawn sigh.
The dishes. washed, they withdrew to the
parlor. Milly was admiring the beautiful
wax flowers under the glass dome on the
center table when her eye suddenly CHANGED
upon familiar looking paper on top of a
pile Of magazines. She picked it up to make
sure. NAN
Mr.. Mayer became embarrassed.
"Merelya trashy story paper" he said with
contemptuors wave of his hand. " 1t came
around some bundle and-I don't know why
it hasn't been thrown out. !"
"Why, Charlie" reproved his mother
gently.

went on, just to see what those sort of things
are like" Even as you and l, gentle reader)
It's what Tony did your shoes up in, " said
Milly, glancing through the pages excitedly.
"And> amt it just splendid? | got the other
half around my shoes and Did you notice
how queer it was about"
Yes, and BESIDES

Isn't it lucky3 I've just been dying to find
out what happened to-"
"Let US get it that we may peruse together
the complete narrative said Mr. Mayer
with an attempt at dignihed composure.
N1illy procured the carefully treasured
pages from her handbag and handed them to
Mr.. Mayer
"Oh,o he said with trace of disappoint-
ment as he unfolded them, yours is the
middle part. | haven't got the concluding
pages either, you know. However, let us
start in at the beginning. You read, . hand
ing her his section of the story.
Milly started out on the first chapter and
read easily until she came to the part where
Mildred was described as g tall, slender girl
with limpid blue eyes and that beautiful com
plexion that SO often goes with red hair"
She felt Mr.. Mayors eyes regarding her
critically. Modest though she was, she
could but realize that she was tall; that she
was more than slender; that, while she was
not quite certain of the meaning of +" limpid, y
her eyes were certainly blue, and that her
complexion was the sort that went with red
hair-in her case, at any rate. She broke off
in confusion.
You read she said. my voice is dry. .
With confident smile he took the paper
and continued.
Milly watched him closely. Would he
recognize himself in Sir Charles2 she won
dered. She could not tell until he reached the
passage where Mildred was attacked by the
superintendent ruffians at thelonely turn r
the road. All, then he did see how like it was
to her experience with those corner loafers
that fateful evening. That he compared the
Lord Mayors rescue of Mildred to his owr
timely rescue of Miicent she could tell by the
change in his tones. The modest way il
which he lightly SKINNED over the inciden

assure you. Any other gentleman would
have done the same. ,"
Finally he reached the opening of Chapter
vi which had caused Alily SO much specula
ton:
When Mildred regained consciousness
she found herself in "a
Milly held her breath expectantly.
-gorgeously appointed bed chamber in the
Lord Mayors Mansion Two white
capped nurses waited upon the serious
faced doctor who leaned anxiously over her
bed.
AS Mr.. Mayer read on, Milly noted more
strange condolences in the lives of Mildred
and herself: Mildred had found herself in
the home of Sir Charles, who lived in the Lord
Mayors Mansion with his widowed mother
And here was she, Milicent, hearing all about
it in the home of Charles Mayer, who likewise
lived with his widowed mother Then, too,
a column or so later on, when Mildred began
to convalesce, she spent many happy hours
in the Lord Mayors picture galleries, wander
ing among the portraits of his ancestors.
N1ilicent gazed up at the elegant crayon por-
trait Photographic basis) that hung over the
mantle in Charles Mayors parlor. While
the subject of the picture was older than our
hero, he had the same splendid, wavy nous
tache, the same dark, dreamy eyes. Yes,
undoubtedly this, too, was the portrait OF an
ancestor.
Mrs. Mayer, looking up from her knitting,
noted the object of Milly's interest.
"That's Mr.. Mayer, she explained proudly
while her son paused in his reading to turn
the page. Charlie made it from little
photo that was taken just before he died. /"
Charlie glanced at his fathers portrait
and gave deprecating little shrug, as much
as to say: "Merely one of my early things.
You ought to see the work I'm doing now. /"
He resumed his reading. For almost a
page in the story paper Mildred gained
steadily in strength
Upon several occasions, when they
thought her attention was elsewhere, she
felt that Sir Charles and his mother were
regarding her searchingly. But when she
looked up they would instantly cease their
scrutiny and talk rapidly OF things imper-
sonai
1t finally all led to this:
One day when she was standing absorbed
before her favorite portrait in the art gal
lery she instinctively felt the presence Of
someone behind her. She turned. 1t was

fixed upon her with an expression of min

there are certain matters that you alone car

lady, but we do not know your name. "
MY name is Mildred" she answered
simply.
Mildred! Yes, yes--and your sur

She wondered at his eagerness.
My last name is Hannigan.
"Hannigana" repeated Sir Charles

At this most interesting point Mr.. Maye
scaled the paper from him and glanced up a

Oh, please go on, she begged, starting tt

I'm simply dying to know.
"That," said Mr. Mayer, /" is entirely
matter for conjecture The rest OF thi
story, deeply regret, is missing"

next evening as she washed the dishes dish

put on her hat eandocoat and started out.
Just Why, she did not know. She could
hardly expect to find the handsomely nous

of man in whom one would look for unbridled

ing that as yet her young heart had been won
by no man.
In the face Of all that pretty sentiment
what Of the Lord Mayor" sneered the
superintendent He saw the question
strike her as lightning strikes a fair flower;
she shrlnk from him, her eyes dlating
with indignation. Her lips moved, but no
sound came from them
How dare you SO insult me" she gasped
at length.
"You spurnmy love!" he hoarsely Kissed
"Take care, my naughty beauty. You
shall live to rue this moment You shall
yet benny bride, be it by fair means or foul!'
Kindly let me pass, sir!!' =
She drew herself up to her full height
and with cold dignity passed out OF the
Office door and returned to her spindle.
Then came Chapter v. Milly, feverishly
following the fortunes of Mildred, the fair
factory hand, from snug little fourth-foor
back, could have told her that she was foolish,
after the way that horrid old superintendent
had threatened her, to return to her humble
home by the lonely lane that lay along the
deserted abbey
at lonely turn in the road four masked
figures sprang out from the edge of the
woods and seized her roughly.
Thoroughly frightened, she gave voice
to a piercing scream:
Help! Help! Help Help!"
'Silence!' Kissed the leader of the
ruffians harshly, as his subordinates swiftly
bound her arms. Another sound and
you shall severely suffer for it..
1t was the voice of the superintendent!
His threat at the Office that afternoon
flashed through Mildred's mind. With
piteous sob she sank on her knees before
him
Through the clear stiffness of the starry
night came the faint clatter of galloping
hoofs:
Curses Kissed the superintendent.
Andthen, dropping their fair burden they
dove into the black recesses of the forest.
Closer and closer came the sounds Of
horses and rumbling wheels Suddenly
they ceased. Mildred became dinly con-
scious Of somebody bending over her with
lantern.
There has been foul play here" she
heard him mutter. "'Twas as feared. 2
She felt herself being lifted tenderly into
a coach And then heard the command in
rich, vibrant voice:
