Surely Alcatrante had not come
merely as the friend of Poritol. for
the difference in the station Of the
two South Americans was marked.
Poritol was q cheap character-use-
full, no doubt, In certain kinds OF work..
but vulgar and unconvincing. He
might well be one of those promoters
who hang on at the edge OF great
projects, hoping to pick up a commits
sion here and there. His strongest
point was his obvious effort to triumph
over his own insignif1cance. for this
effort, by its comic but desperate
earnesrness, could not but command a
cei LIN degree oil respect.
Alcatrante, on the other hand, was
a name to make statesmen Knit their
brows. smooth trouble-maker, he
had set Europe by the ears in the
matter of unseoled South American
loans, dexterously appealing to the
much-overworked Monroe doctrine
every time his country was threatened
by a French or German or British
blockade. But his. mind was of no
small caliber. He could hold his own

of him as clever after-dinner speak
er. a man who could, when he SO de-
sired. please greatly by his personal
charm.
No, Alcatrante was no friend OF
Poritors; nor was it likely that, as
protector of the interests OF his coun-
Irymen, he would go SO far as to ac-
company them on their errands un-
less much was at stake. sPerhaps
Poritol was Alcatraute's tool and mad
bungleI some important commission.
Ii occurred to Orme that the secret OF
the bill might be connected with the
negotiation of big business conces-
sion in Alcatrante country. IS. X.

In any event. he felt positive that

told were all against the notion OF

minutes ago, Mr.. Orme. When l told

PEORIA, H., Aug. 9,-Joseph A.
Proctor, the lumber man, who has been
missing from Peoria since July 81 and
who has baffled the police and de-
tective departments of Peoria, has
written a letter to Harry c.. Stone,
his brother-in-law. The letter was re-
ceived to-day and was posted at Cen

Il can't last many more days.
Don't look for me, for it won't do any
good. am hungry and unable to
sleep and very weary. I have been
dazed, ard to-day for the first time l
have realized that was away from

The rest of the letter is understood
to contain information about Proctor's
financial sffairs. The communication
confirms the belief of relatives that
Proctor is tramping and that he is
without money and ILL., The police

success. He downed the factors of
corruption and installed in Kansas
such an amount of legislation of the
newer type that Kansas is today far
ahead of any other commonwealth in

On the platform Gov. Hoch has a
fine presence, strong voice and vigor-

thoroughly pleasing. Al he warns
up to his theme the heavy lines in his
face are smoothed out and there is
something exceedingly agreeable in
the smile which decorates his rugged

More than all, when Governor Hoch
talks he always has something to say.
His ripe store of experience, his
habits of intelligent observation and
his large fund of knowledge of kind

WHERE THEY LEFT MARGARET
Reckless Chauffeur Who Was Tardlly
Informed of the Loss Of One Of
His Passengers.

Speaking of automobile speeding"
said a man who drives his own car, ~
heard a good one the other day A
young Irishman who, having left
home and made lot OF money, was
visited by his two married sisters,
neither of whom had ever ridden in
an automobile. So, he planned for
them trip in his automobile, think
ing they would enjoy both the novelty
of the ride and the city sights. With
view to little fun at his sisters
expense, he told the chauffeur to let
'er out as much as was consistent
with safety, at the same time warn
ing the sisters that they shouldn't
speak to the chauffeur as he was a
disturbed when he was driving car.
Everything was quiet in the ton
neau while the driver went rushing
out into the suburbs and through the
parks. Sometimes 1t was on four
wheels and sometimes on two, but
there was no protest. He had en-
tered into the spirit of the affair. and
he made up his mind he would make
those women cry enough So he
picked out some rough going and
bumped the bumps for half hour.
Finally the younger sister leaned for
ward and touched him timidly on the
shoulder.
Excuse me- she said trembling,
I know ought not to speak to you,
but thought ought to say that we

back. Columbus Dispatch.
