that there was no arresting the tide.
! snatched out the sealed envelope and
turned with 1t to Arthur Holbrook;
and he took it into his hands and
turned 1t over quietly, though his
hands trembled.
TELL me the truth, gentlemen!"-
and Miss Pats voice thrilled now with
anger.
"Trickery, more trickery; those
were stolen from Helen!" blurted Hen
~, his eyes on the envelope; but we
were waiting for the canoe-maker to
speak, and Henry's words rang empti-
ly in the shop.
Arthur looked at his brother; then
he faced his sister.
Henry is not guilty" he said,
calmly.
He turned with quick gesture and
thrust the envelope into the flame of
one of the candles; but Helen sprang
forward and caught away the blazing
packet and smothered the flame be-
tween her hands.
I'VE will keep the proof" she said
in tone of triumph; and | knew then
how completely she had believed in
her father.

raised by the attention that was now

Henry turned look of appeal upon
his brother; but Miss Pat took the
envelope from Helen and tore IT open;
and we stood by as though we waited
for death or watched earth fall upon a
grave. She bent down to one of the
candles nearest her and took out the
notes, which were wrapped In a sheet
of legal cap. A red seal frightened in
the light, and we heard the slight rat
tie of the paper in her tremulous fin
gers as she read. Suddenly a tear
flashed upon the white sheet. When
she had quite finished she gathered
Gillespie's statement and the notes in
her hand and turned and gave them
10 Henry; but she did not speak to
him or meet his eyes. She crossed to
where Arthur stood beside me, his
head bowed, and as she advanced he
turned away; but her arms stole over
HIS shoulders and she said Arthur"

Frog Leg Supper Injected
in Campaign for Congress

Tulsa. Okla, Nov. Voters Of the
third district are injecting into the
congressional campaign that very
humorous and interesting frog leg
supper given By Hon. Charles z.
Creager 10 his friends. Messrs- McMur
ray Of McAlester, and Jake Hamon Of
Lawton. al Washington last year. In
view Of ths lavish campaign Mr. Crea-
ger is making. ii Is very evident that
the congressman got the $1,000 he men
toned at the supper to make his cam
paign from some source.
II was during the session Of con
Hess Just passed that the famous sup
per was given by Mr Creager. and
which was 50 prominently mentioned
By witnesses in the congressional IN
yestigation Of the Senator Gore brib-
cry charges in connection with the Mc-
Murray contracts in the Choctaw-C Chick
asaw country. Creager had bAan try
ing to borrow $4,000 and McMurras
did not think much OF the invitation
be got from Creager. fearing touch
but was finally prevailed upon to ac-
cept. He arrived at the banquet
rather late. but found bis host and .dr.
Hamon at a table During the meal.
McCreager told McMurray about Clar-
ence B. Douglas. secretary Of the Ids-
kogee commercial club opposing him
for denomination and reelection. and
suggested that McMnrray could make
Douglas Jump in the Arkansas river.
And. because OF his fight Douglas Is
making on me. it viii cost me athlsast-
81. 900 more to make the campaign
next summer McMurray passed the
remark without batting an eye After
the meal, Hamon and McMurray left
together. and Hamon said, SO the tes-
timony went. Why dida't yoa let him
have the thousandg' = did not know
he wanted me to" he replied.
We'll, he made It as plain as ne
could. said Hamon. or words to that
effect
Mr.. Creager had previously attempt
ed to borrow the money from McMur-
ray. who refused, saying he had some
Legislation in congress. and that he did
not think it good policy to loan money
to a congressman.
Members Of the congressional com
mittee having in charge the investiga-
tion. as veil as Senator Gore, say they
have numerous requests for copies Of
the testimony that related to this deal
of Mr.. Creager with McMurray, es-
pecially with reference to the frogleg
supper, from voters OF the third dis
trict Of Oklahoma
II is believed this suspicious circum-
stance in the affairs Of Congressman
|Creager will have a material effect on
the voters of the third district. and
that Mr.. Creager VIII suffer a loss Of
votes from It.

RECORD FOR SHUT-OUTS.

Penn Van, y. Y, June s-what is
claimed to be a record made by no other
college amateur baseball team in the
history Of baseball and only surpassed
once by a professional team. was made
the past week by the Keuka College
team. which shut-out FIVE different mines
in five consecutive games.
The professional record was made on
the home ground, while four of Keuka's
games were played away from home.
Only nine men were carried, two pitchers
alternating in the box and at third base.
Bantantyne pitched two games and Mat
thews three. The former had twenty
two strike-outs. and the latter. nineteen
Only two opposing players reached third
base in all five games. and only fifteen
hits were made by the opponents in the
five games. The games were against
strong college teams and others. Mat
thews has not been scored against this
season. Keuka is strictly a student team.

With the announcement Of the schedule
came a revival of the rumor that HaT-
ward would soon resume football rela-
tons with Princeton, and that a game
might be arranged for 1911 Athletic d.
rector William F. Garcelon stated that
there was a strong sentiment for a
Princeton game among the uDdergradu-
ates, and that there has been some cor
respondence In the matter, but that as
yet nothing definite had been settled
II the game is arranged for 1911 1t
will probably be PLAYED at Princeton. as
Princeton plays Yale at New Haven that
year. and Yale meets Harvard in the
stadium.

of the ministerial Associations through
out the country-nOtably. those OF the
Methodist Episcopal ChuTch-have taken
the matter up, while ministers Of many
denominations have raised their voices
in protest against IT,
we do not rise TO question the atti-

the standpoint of the conservation Of the
public morals. but from our viewpoint
