gratuitously.
"Handcuff me?"

After a moment Miss Thorne signi-
fed her readiness, and they started
out. At the door Mr.. Grimm stopped
and turned back to the desk, as if
struck by some sudden thought, leav-
ing them together.
"Oh. Miss Thorne left message for
some one," Mr.. Grimm was saying to
the clerk. "She's decided it is un-
necessary" He turned and glanced
toward her, and the clerks eyes fol-
lowed his. please give it to me-"
1t was passed over without COM
ment. 1t was a sealed envelope ad-
dressed to Mr.. Charles Winthrop Ran

prescription, tore the envelope into
bits and dropped it into a basket. A
minute later he was assisting Miss
Thorne and the prince into an auto
mobile that was waiting in front. AS
the car moved away two other auto
mobiles appeared from corners near

sullen, scowling, nervously wriggled in
his seat. Philadelphia was passed,

was quite light when they rolled into

HIGH TEAMS IN
A CLOSE BATTLE
First quarter: Rock Island, o. Mo-
line, o.

When football players on the Rock
Island Moline eIevens arose from their
beds this morning and saw that it was
to be a cool, clear, crisp day, they
were thankful that chances as far as
the weather man was concerned would
be even and that aside from the high
wind that was blowing, neither side
would have any particular advantage.
Both elevens before they trotted onto
the field this afternoon were confident
that their machine was the best, and
barring unforeseen mishaps, would win.
Rock Islands chances are the best to-
day for victory that they have been
for years. Hence. their confidence
in the outcome.
The game started at o'clock this
afternoon and the lineup Of the Rock
Island team was the same as has COM
posed the team in other games of the
year. Moline announced a few changes
last night, including the shifting
Of Melin to halfback from end
and the return Of Stowe to the
game. Stowe is Just as good player
as the Plow City possesses and the
dope that he would be out because OF
failure TO tackle a man in the Rock
ford game was mere bunk, as were the
other statements in regard to the con-
dition Of the players. SodeTstrOm, as
the Islanders predicted, was there big
ger than ever and in better condition.
Ainsworth is also in fit condition. In
fact, every man on both elevens, with
the possible exception Of Rosy"
Wright of the Rock Island team Is in
the best possible condition.
Betting on the result was rather
light previous to this afternoon be-
cause of the fact that Moline bettors
insisted on having the best OF the odds.

DISCUSS CLUB FLOWER.

The relative merits of red clover,
golden rod and mountain laurel as a
flower for the national federation oc-
cupfed much time of the closing ses-
sion, the final vote proving that the
red clover was the most popular with
the Illinois contingent. Golden rod
was objected to as provoking hay fever
and as being suggestive of the old-time
schoolmaster. while mountain laurel
was considered not generally known.
Miss Anna Melodies, chairman OF the
legislative committee, reported on the
work done at Springfield last winter.
In the course of her speech she said:
Everything on this program has
shown the need of the vote for women.
I think we could have 1t II We really
wanted it."
She urged the institution OF a bu-
