"Man-man, are you going to leave
the boy to drown?" cried the doctor
in astonishment and indignation.
Mr., Parker advanced to the railing,
looked over at the child struggling in
the water and then threw up his hands
with groan and retreated. He even
picked up the things he had cast of
and almost ran from the wharf.
Splash Splash SPLASH Three men
leaped the railing. one after another,
and, as the little lad was sinking for
the third time, he was rescued, and
there were tears, cheers and shouts Of
congratulation. The doctor and his
daughter returned to their seats and
sat for long time without word be
tween them. Then the girl asked in
6 hesltating way. -
WAS 1t because Mr.. Parker can't

"He could have got the boy and

"Then-then what allied him? He

But ! do, dear. You have only to
hear what the people around US are
saying. Too bad feel sorry for him.

Was He a Coward?
Bx CARL JENKINS


DR.. Hargraves, retired and said to
be wealthy, has more or less business
to do with a certain safe deposit com
pany. He thus came to know young
Austen Parker. There came to be a
social as well as business side. and
after time Mr.. Parker was a caller
at the house.
Dr.. Hargraves was a widower and
in poor health The light Of his eye
and the Joy Of his heart was his
daughter May. A sister oversaw the
house, but the doctor used to say that
his daughter oversaw him. The friend.
ship between them was almost selfish.
Miss Mays handsome face attracted
many, but she received them all as
callers until Mr.. Parker came In his
case, after a bit. the father thought he
detected more than usual interest, and
he was secretly pleased. He knew
that his ailment must carry him OF at
the end Of few years, and he hoped
the daughters future would be set
tied before the dark day came.
The doctor and his daughter were
at the Harbor hotel when Mr.. Parker
and his mother arrived. It was sim
ply chance that brought them together
there. and all were pleased over It.
A week had passed very pleasantly
when one day the doctor. Miss May
and Mr.. Austen were on the long
wharf below the hotel to sit in the
band house and enjoy the cool breeze.
There were women and children about.
and here and there a man was lazily
fishing OF sudden women scream
ed out. Her boy Of five had climbed
the railing and fallen into the water.
There were shouts and screams from
others, and hubub all along the
wharf.
The accident occurred within thirty
feet of the band stand. Mr.. Parker
reached the railing In four or five
bounds, tore of his coat and kicked
off his shoes. and was on the point Of

Where Mob Held Sway.

Gals who are threatened with i'm

nights %lynching.
The governor demanded to be taken
over to the battered Jail and for 80
minutes he and his staff examined the
structure infinitely.
Following the survey, he ordered
Sheriff Luke to summon Prosecuting
Attorney Phil b. Smythe and Mayor
Herbert Atherton. On their arrival
the party held a star chamber ses-
sion lasting one hour and 30 minutes.
Sheriff Linke and Mayor Anterior
reluctantly discussed the meeting.
The governor questioned me as to
why l did no stop the mob, by firing,
If necessary Linke said. ~ told him
that l was inexperienced in mob pro-
cedure and did not realize the serious
ness of the situation until after the
door had been battered down."
Both officials told the governor that
despite the fact that they had faced
the mob at different times during the
evening, they failed to recognize a sin.

ENGINEER BALKS HOLDUP
M. X. & T. SOUTHWESTERN FLY.
Err STOPPED BY BANDITS.
Crew Pretends to UncoupIe Baggage
Car, Then Dashes for
Cab.

ST. Louis, Mo. - C~leverness on
the part Of the engineer prevented
three youthful and apparently mex
perienced bandits from robbing the
Missouri Kansas & Texas southwest
ern fiier No. 3 near Larimore, ST.
Louis county, about Is miles from St.
Louis. Three men were arrested as
suspects and are in Jail pending in
yestigation.
1t was ) o'clock before news of the
attempted holdup reached the city and
detectives were Immediately assigned
to the case.
Engineer Quinn, through a ruse.
prevented the baggage car and pas
senger coaches from being looted.
The bandits compelled the engineer
and fireman, at the point of r%evolvers,
to descend from the cab and go with
them to the baggage car to assist them
to uncoupling it. While tinkering
about the coupling the engineer and
fireman in the darkness managed to
glide away from the bandits. The
two started on a run for the cab. The
DdnulJS soon eCaln aware tndt the
crew was dashing for the cab and
opened a rain of fire. The engineer
and fireman, ~undeterred, ran faster.
Springing into the cab, the engineer
threw the throttle wide open and
dashed with the train.
Five miles further on, at Spanish
Lake, Quinn rang up o. c. Hill, yard
master for the St. Louis, Keokuk &
Northwestern in st. Louis and in a
matter of fact way told him of the
details of the robbery.
Several shots were fired during the
attempted holdup, and the passengers
who filled five choaches were thrown
into a panic.
Conductor Walker, who also dis
played great GOODNESS in the crisis, de-
voted his time to calming the passen-
gers.
According to railroad officials here
there were thousands of dollars in the
baggage cal in addition to the mail
which was unusually heavy for the
st. Louis-Houton run.
The three men, armed and masked,
used a red lantern to halt the train.

WILL DELAY FILLING BENCH.
Hughes. Still in Taft's Eye as Success
sor to Justice Fuller, Il Is Said.

Beverly, Mass.-There were no
developments in Beverly concern
ing the supreme court vacancies. Cal
ers at the summer White House found
nothing in the presidents attitude to
change the statements of Monday that
Governor Hughes, of New York, is just
now filling Mr.. Taft's eye to the exclu-
sion of everybody else.
The understanding also continues
that the president will do nothing
toward designating the successor to
Chief Justice Fuller until late in the
fall. A proposition to call the senate
in extraordinary session to confirm APP
pointees to the supreme court bench
in advance of the regular session Of
congress was suggested, but met with
no encouragement.
President Taft, in common with the
remaining justices of the supreme
court, is anxious thai three important
cases scheduled for argument this fall
the Standard Oil, Tobacco and %
poration tax-shall be heard by a full
bench. Consequently it is not regard
ed as likely that he will select any
man against whom a question might
nrise as to previous participation in
these cases.
