The Herald's
Daily Short Story
The Messenger OF Fate

Her name was Dolly Knowles. She
was an orphan living alone making
artificial flowers. Lord Ribblesbane
told her his name was Daniel Jackson
and that he was shipchandIer's
clerk and made miserable living
He also told her that he loved her and
strange to say he did not lie. for the
simple childlike grace of Dolly had
conquered the man about town who
nao never cared for a woman before.
For ten years, always poorly dressed.
never breaking his incognito, Daniel
came TO visit his little friend every
night and loved her more every time.
sometimes he told her he would be
late and on such evenings he was seen
at court, at countess Lincoln's or lady
Sheffield's, cold and impanetrable as
ever.
For ten years lord Ribblesban was
absolutely happy and when he looked
a his own face in the mirrors of his
lordly mansion he could not under
stand that Daniel Jackson had not al
ways existed.
On stormy and rainy night in the
autumn, Horatio was walking towards
his friends house, when he heard a
noise, which he Immediately recog-
nized. Two horses came galloping up
behind him. Why should he turn? He
already knew they were black from
tail to head and guided by a single
rider. This time also one of them re-
fused, pranced and reared and there
was fierce struggle between the
horse and its rider. Ribblesbane, who
got a better look at him this time.
saw that he was wearing a cooked
hat and a long brown coat
When the trio had disappeared he
climbed the old stairs he had climbed
every day for ten years. but heavy
presentment was clutching his heart.
He heard somebody singing a
funeral hymn. He opened the door.
The women from the neighboring
houses gather around him and when
he looked at the pale face on the
pillow lord Ribblesbane understood
that Dolly Knowles had left him for-
ever.

his sorrow. He still went into society

madly in love with my Bobby.
And now, Mumsie, 1 must tell you
something that rather disturbs me:
We were a little late getting TO the
Dentons, as they live ten miles away,
and we had a puncture going over. I
was so nervous when 1 went into the
drawing room and there were so many
people that 1 really did not see any one
but Mr.. and Mrs. Denton. Dinner was
announced at once and we went right
out.
After we were seated and Mr.. Den

about our being such an acquisition to

1 really was most awfully glad to
see him. for 1 felt shy, and Mr.. Denton
is rather formidable, you know, ne is
so old and pompous.
Perhaps I should not have seemed
quite so glad to see Mr.. Sinclair. but
1 would have been glad to see any one
that 1 knew and felt at home with.
We talked about heaps of things,

table on Mrs. Dentcn's right.
Mumsie, he looked as black as a

I stopped short right in the middle
of story and Mr.. Sinclair said.
What's the matter? Don't you feel
well?"
Then his eyes followed mine and
such a funny little smile came over his
face.

never was a supper at the Carlton or

This man, whom everything bored,
had only one passion, however, to
dress like common clerk and walk
along the Thames in the evening, en-
tering some sordid inn and drinking
gin or whiskey with common sailors.
That alone, relieved his incurable
spleen and made him forget his luxur-
ious, empty. idle existence
One evening as he was thus saunter-
ing along the murky river in heavy
yellowish fog lord Horatio Ribblesbane
suddenly heard the sounds of gallop
ing hoofs and when he turned he saw
two horses guided by single horse
man. They were jet black from head
to tail and, undoubtedly, because Of
the fog. seemed bigger than any he
had ever seen.
AS they were about to pass lord
Ribblesbane one of them refused to go
on and rose high on his hind legs.
There was a struggle between man and
beast. but the mans iron grip on the
heavy bit cowed the horse, which
started off at a furious pace carrying
along the other. Then the lord dis
covered that a young girl besides him
self had been an interested onlooker,
a young girl of exceptional beauty,
with great blue child-like eyes.
Lord Ribblesbane followed her. She
walked quickly, blushing and excited,
but what does a libertine care for the
feelings of an innocent girl? Ten min

house, of very humble appearance.
and disappeared. Horatio went back
home, but the next evening at dark
he was waiting outside this house, and
again the following day. Three days
later he spoke to the young girl and
she answered him

STATE AND NATION
MUST ACT AS ONE
Secretary Nagel Says That
Estates Rights Plea :
Is all Wrong.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov 1S-Active
and rational cooperation between the
national and state authorities is abso-
lutely essential to a successful solu-
ton Nof the common problems with
which they both are confronted. This
was the opinion expressed tonight by
Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce
and labor, in an address delivered at
the 18th annual banquet of the Kansas
City Commercial club.
He declared himself a believer IN
both state and national authority. say
ing that 'he read the constitution to
mean that integrity of both was guar
anteed."
THE old restrictions upon federal au-
thority and federal appropriations have
been swept away" he said. ''Gener-
ally in all directions, the old barrier
has broken down and it is admitted
in practice, if not on the platform,
that national authority is absolutely
essential, to meet national problems as
they now present themselves.
$50 far we have practically no COM
mercial corporations that base their au-
thority upon anything but state au-
thority. The Inconvenience OF that
system, even in our interstate COM
merce has been sufficiently demon
strated. I am persuaded that the con-
hicts, the Inconsistencies and the en-
barrassments with respect to interstate
commerce alone are enough to call for
the organization of corporations under
federal charters
The secretary declared there is
pressing necessity for the development
of foreign commerce and that We are
proceeding as it were. oblivious to it.
Referring briefly to the past cam
paign. he said he deplored the fact
that so much of the time and energy
of those who participate were wasted
upon questions of personal controversy
upon the heralding of extravagant
ideas that can accomplish little beyond
retarding actual progress and upon
