CHAPTER 10.

NRDE found a note at the hote
81 the next day asking him to be
. in Washington square at hall
past .. Carroll met him with q
| bright smile.
Things aren't quite right at home
she said. 1T is a great shock to poor
mother at first. and she feels very
strongly. Oh, 1t isn't you. dear; it's
the notion that can care for anybody
but her. You see, she's been used to
the other idea so long that 1 suppose
it seemed a part of the univ rise to her.
She'll get used to it after a little, but
it takes time"
Orde examined her face anxiously.
Two bright red spots burned on her
cheeks; her eyes flashed with a nerv-
Gus animation.
She smiled up at him.
I'VE have to pay for the good things
in life, don't we, dear? And they are
worth it. We must not be too impa-
tient. Now, let's enjoy the day"
At 5 o'clock Orde took her back to
her doorstep.
This went on several days.
Orde saw that the strain was be
ginning to tell. Carrolrs worried ex-
preston grew from day to day.
From Gerald at his club Orde sought
more intimate news Of what was going
on.
Little by little Ordes eager ques-
tions drew out the truth of the situa-
ton. Mrs. Bishop had shut herself
up in q blind and Incredible obstinacy.
whence she sailed with foods of COM
plants, tears, accusations. deSpairS, re-
proaches, vows, hysterics-al the bat
terry of the woman misunderstood If
Carroll undertook to say anything the
third word would start her mother off
into one of her long and hysterical
Trades. Her child had disobeyed her
And as climax she had assumed the
impregnable position of a complete
prostitution, wherein she demanded the
minute care of an invalid in the crisis
Of a disorder. The mere mention of
the subject nearest Carrolrs heart
brought the feeble complaint:
do you want to kill me?"
The only scrap of victory to be
snatched from this stricken field was
the fact that Carroll insisted on going
to meet her lover every afternoon.
Though he tretted under the tyranny,
Orde could see nothing which could
relieve the situation save his own
withdrawal. He had already long
overstayed his visit. Important affairs
connected with his work demanded
his attention. He had the comfort of
Carrolrs love assured.
The morning after he had reached
this conclusion he again met Gerald
at the gymnasium.
"Orde," said Gerald suddenly, I'm
worried about Carroll. Mother has
commenced bothering her again. 1t

daytime, but now she's taken to prowl-

Later he moved to another farm IN
Wilton township on which he passed
away Sunday at the age of rs years.
His wife and seven children survive
The funeral was held yesterday.
>General Littmann died Monday at
Mercy hospital after an illness of one
week from pneumonia. At the time
Of death he was employed as porter
at the st. James hotel and was a gen.
eTal favorite with those who knew
him, his general good nature making
him an excellent person to converse
with. He was % years of age and his
home is in Oswego, Kan, where his
mother now lives. The remains will
be held at the Boies undertaking par
lors until word is received from his
mother, who has been notified of his
demise, as to their disposition.

on Carroll more than you realize"
THANK you.' said Orde briefly and
departed.
At his hotel Ortie found a telegram.
He did not open it until he had reached
his own room. 1t was from home,
urging his immediate return for the
acceptance of some contracted work.
ITO h with the contracted work"
he muttered savagely and, calling q
bellboy, sent an answer very much to
that effect.
He was interrupted by a knock on
the door.
Come I'M" he called without turning
his head.
he heard the door open and shut.
After a moment he looked around.
Kendrick Bishop stood watching him.
Orde looked at him curiously and saw
that he was suffering from an intense

The Parthnnnn

The destruction OF that famous
building the Parthenon took place in
1857 during the siege of Athens by
the Venetians. The Turks held the
city. and the Parthenon was used for
a powder magazine. One day during
the conflict a Venetian bombsheu drop
ped into the building, and the explo-
sion followed which badly shattered
the structure. From that date the re
powned building has stood roofess and
exposed to all the fnclemencies Of the
weather For more than 1000 years
The temple stood entire, and in its
ruins is the architectural wonder o.

with excitement. Trembling In every
limb, but without hesitation, he ad
vanced on Orde, drew a short riding
whip from beneath his coat and slash
ed the young man across the face
Orde looked steadily at the boy. Once
again Kendrick hit, raised his arm foI
the third time. hesitated. His lips
writhed, and then, with a sob, he cast
the little whip from him and burst
from the room.
Poor youngsterT Orle murmured.
The next day Carroll came to him
with hurried. nervous steps, her usual
ly pale cheeks mounting danger sig
mails of flaming red. her eyes swim
ming.
Orde did not attempt as yet to draw
from her the cause Of this unusual
agitation. A park bench stood be-
tween two dense bushes, screened
from all directions save one. To this
he led her.
''This thing has got to quit" said he
grimly.
A carriage rolled near and discharg-
ed its single passenger on the pave
ment.
It's Gerald" cried Carroll.
The young man, catching sight of
them. picked his way daintily and
leisurely toward them.
II have brought" said he. "a car
riage, and wish you would both do
me the favor to accompany me on
short excursion"
The three-Carroll and Orde some
what bewiidered - took their seats.
After an interval the carriage drew
up opposite n brownstone dwelling
The three were ushered by a discreet
and elderly maid into a little square
reception room,

and curious guests. THAT wisdom
is briefly this: There comes a time in

man must assert himself as the ruler
In all the details he may depend on
the woman's judgment, experience and
knowledge, but when it comes to the
big crises. where life is DETECTED into

him. This is abstruse, but / come to
the particular application shortly"
This may be all very true. Gerald"
said Orde. but fail to see why you
have brought us to this strange house
to tell It,"
"In a moment" replied Gerald.
"Have patience. Believing that thor

He produced paper and a package

He looked at them expectantly.

Ten minutes later the three passed
through the door into the back apart

The Beverly twins, Fred and Frank
were such exact counterparts of each
other that none OF the neighborS could
tell them apart. and even their mother
sometimes had her doubts. The re

that they are dressed exactly alike.

CO TO ALBIALABOR DAY
0skaloosa Trades Assembly Make
Big Preparations for Occasion,

The Oskaloosa Trades Unions have
taken a stand for the celebration of
Labor Day at Abba. They will go in
body, as organizations, with their
wives and families. and they will in
duce every one else to go to the big
celebration. Special trains will be pro-
yided for the people and every accom-.
mediation desirable will be provided.
The Oskaloosa delegation will be
headed by the Iowa Brigade band and
the Oskaloosa unions will he repre-
scented in. the big procession. This
step was taken Friday evening at a
big and an enthusiastic meeting. of the
Oskaloosa Trades Assembly. AS many
as possible of the unions will go. as
organized bodies and there will be col
ors flying, and badges, and banners,
and flags galore. tas. ,=.. a.s.s-.E.
Mindful of, the favors extended the
celebrations of Il, Labor. Day in other
years by the people and especially the
Mine Workers of Monroe county, the
Oskaloosa labOring people have been
DESTROYS Of returning the compliments
and reciprocating in as gracious a
manner as possible. The matter has
been under discussion among the I'M
ion members for weeks and it was
known that some organized effort
would be made to attend the celebra-
ton and to make as much of show
ing as possible. but not until last ey-
ening did the plans and the resolutions
take form. e
As the action of the Trades Assem-
bly, became known today the people
generally became enthusiastic over
the possibilities Of the thing and effort
will be made to have as large a show
ing as possible of Oskaloosa people
and local unions.
More will be said of the plans of the
organization as the details are devel-
oped during the week. One idea ad-
vanced is for - every one who goes
from Oskaloosa to wear badge bear
ing the word "Oskaloosa," and make
the delegation that will go down from
this place as conspicuous as any in
line.
Information concerning trains and
other details will be given through the
press next week as arrangements are
completed by committees. a..

as may be derived from city life.
If our rural population can be

les will begin to flow from. their al
leys to the healthy, atmosphere OF the
farm and become producers instead of
idle consumers, and our country will
march forward to greater Industrial
attalnments and higher ami nobler
civilization s-as
The educational and social advan-
tages, therefore, which will flow from
improved roads are manifold. Ii is
of prime Importance to the whole
American people that these adVan-
tages be realized to the fullest extent.
1t is important to those who inhabit
our cities because. the brain and NOR
ais of the city are constantly replen-
ished from the farm home, where we
find our most ideal home life. 1t is
the infusion of good healthy blood
from the country into that of the city
which maintains the poise between the
ravages of the baser forces at work to
undermine our civilization, and those
which tend to uplift and elevate it..
All these advantages are important to
those who inhabit our rural districts
because of their direct influence upon
their welfare. And any measure
which benefits every American citizen,
adds to the moral, economic and intel
lectual advancement of our country,
and places the daily news of the world
and of our own country in the hands
of our rural population, will prove a
blessing to the entire country and add
strength and character to our nation.
