No law exists in England to prevent
the display of the prize fight pictures.
But the public sentiment against the
exhibition of them there is so strong
that the managers of the leading music
halls have declined to enter into con-

look as though the men who control
these pictures will have to fall back
on Monte Carlo as about the only

BIG CONFERENCE
IN BUENOS AYRES

Washington, May 30.-Instructions for
the United States delegates to the fourth
international American conference to be
held in Buenos Ayres, beginning July 10
next are in course Of preparation at the
State Department, and it is said they
will be ready for delivery at the first
regular meeting of the delegates here
next Tuesday.
This conference, 1t is expected, will
prove to be one of the most important
thus far held, and the American dele
gates will urge the adoption of number
of measures of great general use. One
of these will be the adoption, as far as
practicable, OF laws regulating patents.
trade marks and copyrights among the
several republics represented. Up to this
time o. most unsatisfactory condition has
existed with respect to the observance
OF laws governing these matters, and 1t
is the hope of the United States dele
gates to bring about q satisfactory solu-
ton of the difficulties hitherto encoun-
tered with respect to them.
Still another matter of great conse-
Quence is an adequate provision for sani-
tation and quarantine among the several
states.
The United States specifically desires
the adoption of some plan by which the
outbreaks of epidemics may be prevented
as far as possible and other governments
be notified as early as possible when
there lie danger Of a spread of an cpl
demic.

fathers death in a most singular and
unexpected manner The unfortunate
man died in November, little over a
year after his daughters marriage
BY a strange coincidence her boy was
born the same week. Her husbands
delight knew no bounds. He thought
he now had the means of a recon
Citation with his mother Surely she
could not resist the appeal of this
little grandson. Through his baby
boy, Roy Winthrop hoped to be re-
stored to his family and his wife for
given as we'll. Bessie tried not to
dwell very much on her husbands
estrangement from his family. She
made every effort to make up to him
for his loss so he should not be sub
merged by feeling of Inconsistencies,
as was sometimes nearly the case
with her when she sat in the quiet
of her new home and found nothing
further to employ her but thoughts
of the past and the succession of
events that had left them stranded in
their new life. When her boy was
born, she felt that nothing would ever
be the same. Her husband whispered
to her that maybe now his mother
would forgive them and come to see
the baby Bessie's heart held no such
visions of her fathers relenting
towards her on this account, dearly
as she might wish it.
On the fifth day after the great
event, she heard, with surprise, the
ring of the door bell. She started
and the thought came to her mind
that maybe her husband had really
prevailed on his mother to call The
trained nurse, with noiseless tread,
bent over her and said softly: Mrs.
Winthrop, your aunt, Mrs. Jacobs, is
in the hall and asked if she may come
in. l told her the doctor had forbid
den visitors till the tenth day, but
she seemed very anxious and said
she came on business of importance
which must be attended to at once.
What shall / tell herr"
"Oh, please let her come in at
once. l think she has message from
my father" The nurse departed to do
her patients bidding.
Bessies heart beat high with hope.

A HOUSE OF CARDS.
(By Mrs. B. Lurie.)
CHAPTER TX.

All through the hard winter, Mr.
Harris seemed to have little else on
his mind besides his daughters flight.
His attitude towards everyone was
that of disappointed man, who al
lowed his whole life to become embit
tered by the unfortunate circum-
stance. In consequence, his trade fell
off and left an expensive, unremunera-
tive business on his hands. He became
careless of his health and refused to
consult a physician, when it was pat
ent to anyone that he suffered in
tensely. He contracted a heavy cold
which left him with a hacking cough.
When the backbone of the winter was
broken and spring was at hand, the
disconsolate man was but a shadow
of his former self. He still chung
tenaciously to the morbid idea that
the fault of the daughter lay entirely
at the door of the mother Mrs. Har-
ris was heart broken, in consequence.
She confded to her sister-in-law, that
no matter how much she tried to
please him, nothing seemed to make
amends for the past.
During the summer, his income from
the saloon was not sufficient to pay
running expenses. He advertised the
place for sale and as autumn drew
near, buyer presented himself and
bought out the business, which had
formerly been SO prosperous With
this, Mr.. Harris let his insurance pol
icies lapse, thereby at one stroke
cutting off the family's present and
future source of income. He never
seemed to derive secret satisfac-
ton from the thought that he had
fooled his wife so cleverly. He never
realized the terrible injustice of his
action till the state of his health made
impossible his reinstatement. This
change occurred shortly before his
death, the account of which opens the
story. His illness and his wife's de-
votion helped to work a complete
transformation in his feelings, but
alas, too late.
