FALSELY REPORTED DEAD
Merry del Val Declares Pontiff is in
Excellent Health

London, April 12.-The erroneous
report of the pope's death originated
in telegram sent to an attache at
the papal nunciature in Madrid an
nouncng the death of his father. The
word used was Papa" which means
either pope" or Father" The at
tache assumed that It was the pope
who was dead and he so informed the
Spanish government Premier Canal
ejas in turn communicated the news
to the reporters. They flashed the
report over the world. King Alfonso
and members OF the cabinet were in
formed and sent messages OF condol-
ence to the nunciature. The papal
nuncio was absent when the MESA
yes arrived, and the mistake was not
discovered until he returned.
The origin OF the astounding dis
patch from Madrid, which purported
to have the authority Of the papal
nunciature there, announcing the
death of the pope, was Incompetent
sible to the Vatican at Rome. The
popes condition yesterday was as
pHybltdil9 HtiAttt 10 NOuAu NC tAPtNh
ed in one OF his years. The pope's
physician, DR.. Marchiava, after ridicu
ling the report last evening, authoriz
ed the statement that the condition
of the pontiff is normal and satisfac
tory.
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papa
secretary of state, was more explicit

for such it was-but once and
then he flew into such a rage that he
was taken forcibly from the room.
The little girl-cbild was named Bar

her.

to drink and gambling. He would
sit all day in his room, a bottle on

Bob, or young Rob as he was now
called, become of age, the long ex-
pected happened: Garin was found
dead in his room with a bottle of
poison before him. He was buried
the next evening when the whip
poor-wills were beginning their
mournful calls in the sycamores.
After the burial the three walked
slowly back to the house. On every
side was ruin and devastation.
Garin, to whom the plantation had
long since been given over had
gamb]ed nearly everything away.
No longer the Negroes came in from
the fields singing gaily. Only few
trusted servants remained and old
Ben" Lindsey who was CAIRNS first
and only horse trainer, and but few
horses were left out of the stable of

quarters and out buildings were all
in need of repair. Young Rob had
done his best to keep them IN good
condition, but Garin and Tim had
been too great opponents for him.
The next afternoon the lawyer came
to straighten things up and it was

reached slowly in his pocket and
bringing forth a few small bills,
paid the jockey, after which only
one remained. Robert noticed al
strange light in the fellows eyes
but thought it was suppression of
grief; but he also noticed that when
he left he started towards the JEFF
frey's plantation instead of going
toward town. Suddenly the door
was burst open and ''Old Ben" stag

started trembling violently, gave
Rob an appealing, suffering look,
and succumbed. Jeffreys had de-
feated Rob before the race was run.
The next morning broke bright
and clear and all nature responded.
Birds sang gaily in the trees, flowers
awoke with a freshened look, the
dew-drops glittering on their petals
in the sunlight and the columbine,
honeysuckle and trelis swarmed in
confusion around the high palatial
columns on the veranda. Humming
birds fitted here and there and the
bees were bnsily burying their bills
in the clover. Rob was sitting on
the veranda, his tired head in his
hands, trying not to think of the
catastrophe Of the day before. He
could hear the noises of the river
now and then, and again an early
boatman's song foated up to him on
the breeze. He was brought out Of
his reverie by the long cold nose of
l
Sandy the collie, being thrust into
his hand. Sandy was the son Of
Rox and had been raised by Barba-
ra, and they were, therefore, insep-
arabic companions. Rob looked
around for Barbara. He rubbed his
eyes and looked again. There in
the doorway, smile on her lips, the
sunlight playing on her glossy black
hair, she stood; dressed in the silk
riding costume of the blue and gold
her feet incased in dainty, tan boots

Pride OF The Turf
By Otto Mobile

Robert Dow was Scotchman.
Direct from the Lowlands he came,
bringing with him his wife who was
a product of Ireland and their only
son. Garin, sturdy youngster OF six
years. They settled in Rhode Is
land; but later when he became
more prosperous, Dow moved his
family and household goods to Ken
tucky where he bought plantation.
1t was not long before Garin was
learning to ride pony, and instant
ly his mind become centered on the
future when he would have horses
of his own. When he was twenty
two years old, he fell in love with
southern girl whose family was Of
long lineage. They were happily
married and Garin stayed on the
plantation assisting his father.
As Robert Dow had the stern
and thrifty characteristics of the
Scotch, he prospered; but Garin
who had his Irish mothers qualities
was more for jolly good times and
occasionally, gaming, such as cock
fights and dice; but his one passion
and hobby, not excepting his wife
whom he thought the world of, was
horse-racing. Through his fathers
consent, he had established stud
on the plantation, of blue ribboned
pedigree, and it seemed but natural
that he should become successful
breeder.
In the meantime Roberts wife
had died and was buried on the hill
top in the private cemetery. Garin
already had one child named Rob
ert after his grandfather, who was a
brown-haired youngster of three
summers.
Now came the crisis in Garin's
life; Marga garet, his wife was confined
to her room, and the doctors, one Of
whom had come all the way from
Boston, had been fighting for her
life night and day. Garin was pac-
ing the floor outside the chamber
like a Gagged tiger. Not having
slept for days he was worn out with
fatigue and anxiety. Suddenly he
stopped, one hand clutching hi
rumpled hair, the other clinche6
tightly at his side while his blood
shot and sIeep-leaded eyes stared a
the bedroom door. 1t. came again
weak little cry hardly distinguish
able through the heavy door. Wha
did it mean to him?
An hour later the doctor had hin
in he'd with raging fever. A lif
had come into this world for him
but another had gone out. Tw
DAYS later willie he was still in de
lirium they buried Margaret unde
the Lindens beside the other grave
where the trailing arbutus and jass
mine bloomed. Only a few wer
there: Robert Dow, Little Rob,
who couldn't realize, couldn't ur
derstand, and Rox the collie, beside
a group of sympathetic neighbors.
For two weeks the doctors feugf

awoke in his right mind; the fevt
having left him and the crisis hs
