CHAPTER VII.

1t was a wretched night two weeks
later. gloomy and winterish, although
spring was old enough to have done
much better. | was dining alone and
rather forlornly when / heard Kim
mems open the outer door of my apart
ment and admit some one There was
the click of brisk heels along the hall,
and Miss Winstanley reckoning me
through the glass doors of the dining
room to go on with my dinner.
Don't get up" she cried, as Kim
mems threw open the doors and l hur-
ried to meet her; do let me be un-
ceremonious, won't you? Go on with
your dinner; I'll sit by you till you've
finished. I've dined."
Il have just finished" | insisted.
Then come into your sitting room.
I've a great deal to say"

The scorn in her voice made me
laugh heartily.

Your heart holds your roses, dear
lady"
She unfastened her fluffy black boa
and smiled at me with a twinkle in
her eyes-the twinkle that | like SO
much.
Your pretty speeches won't throw
me off the scent. Mr.. Twining. | am
going to find out whose rose that is in

age"

something wrong with him If he never

lacking in something as certainly as
the fellow who never sees a rose on a

There are plenty of them who don't
know they grow on bushes" she said
quickly. They think they grow only

into 1t, but slipped quickly out to Its
edge and sat perched there, looking al
me with her keen. eager old eyes.

A conference Of the progressive lead.

The moral effect of Roosevelt's pres.

Meanwhile both the old guard and the
progressives claimed q majority of
1,015 delegates.
Interest centers in the action Of the
state committee at tonight's meeting,
with special reference to the threat
said to have been made on behalf Of
the old guard to demand a revote on
the question Of whether Roosevelt or
Sherman shall be temporary chairman
for the alleged purpose Of indicating
the committee from the charge that
has been made that the result Of the
New York meeting was brought about
by trickery.

NEW BAD Feelings.
Encampmsnt Rejects Proposition to
Ask Congress to Grant 81
Day Pension.

Atlantic City, N. j. - After q de-
bate Of more than three hours the
national encampment Of the G. A. r.
at its final session on the steel pier
indefinitely postponed action on the
controversy over the statue Of Robert
e. Lee in Statuary hall at Washing
ton. The vote was 1873 to 102, a small
total compared with the vote Of SS7
cast for commander-in-chief.
The encampment rejected the prop.
osition recommending that congress
be asked to grant each Union veteran
Of the Civil war pension of 81 q day
for life. but Endorsed the McCumber
bill now in congress relating to pen.
sions of widows.
The question of the Grand Army's
attitude on the Lee statue matter was
one of the most important the en-
campment has had to deal with in
years.
The conservative element controlled
the encampment and won the day on
the argument that the bitterness en-
gendered in the Civil war was disap-
pearing and that sectional hatred
should not be revived; that action adj
verse to the Lee statute would do
more harm than good, especially to
the G. A. R. and last, but not least,
that the state of Virginia, under the
act of congress in 1864, had the right
to place in Statuary hall the image
of any man from that state whose
memory it chose to perpetuate.
Feeling Ran High.
Among those who spoke for the ma.
jority report we're Commander.in-chief
Van SAINT. Feeling ran high and at
one time the commander-in-chief was
forced to direct the officer of the day
to compel comrade to take his seat.
A rising vote was taken and there
was some doubt as to the result until
the tellers announced that the vote
was 102 to 1873 in favor of the motion
to postpone. Following the debate
the encampment installed the newly
elected officers. Before 'Taps" was
sounded bringing the encampment to
a close Commander-in-Ch John E.

The platform adopted was different
in many planks from the draft which
the committee took into its room
Loud words were heard from the
room. These were from Browne who
called some members of the party who
recently met at Peoria, "blackmail.
ers." Browne was named on the reso
buttons committee by members Of the
Twelfth senatirial district delegation
His name was Missed and cheered by
delegates.
In reading the list of members OF
the committee the secretary read the
name IL. o. Browne" and a delegate
asked, who is this l.. o. Browne %
The question was ignored by the
chair, and when the delegate insisted
upon reply, Browne arose and cried:
IF the gentleman wishes informa.

He was not allowed to reply and Con.
gresham Henry T. Rainey, chairman,
obtained order under difficulties. The
second rebuff came to Browne just as
the convention adjourned after the
adoption of the platform.
With the motion for adjournment
pending Browne stood with his friends
in the center of the hall demanding
recognition. He was ignored.
The Democratic party, according to
the platform, admitted that Senator
Lorimer was elected by the votes of
some of it's party but does not as.

in Senator Lorimer and it does not

Time Is in Doubt.

Even the time of the accident is in
doubt. Probably it was about a half
hour after noon. Out of the ends of
this short curve near Kingsland, 18
miles south OF Fort Wayne, came the
two cars. It was only a flash; q
breath. The cars were together. The
southbound car seemed to take the
right of way. Like giant missile it
ploughed its way through the traffic
packed coach, coming in the opposite
direction. Its heavier frame cut like
keen knife pathway half the length
of the opposing vehicle. It cut off
seats an inch above the floor and
smashed and packed in one CHASTITY
mass the whole interior of the cars,
seats, overhead baskets, lighting fix.
lures, luggage and the bodies of two
score passengers.
In the north bound car there were
only few capable of giving aid to
the dying. They did what they could
and from fields came the farmers who
either had witnessed the accident OF
who had been summoned by neigh
bors. Word was flashed by telephone
to Button and a special car was load
ed with all the physicians available
and sent to the scene. At nightfal
all the dead and injured had beer
removed and the wrecked cars were
lying beside the right of way, a bon
fire to illuminate the spot of the great
est electric traction wreck in the his
toy of the country.
