COLONEL MEETING DELAYED
Roosevelt Demonstration in Chicago
Put Over Until Convention Eve.

Chicago. June 1.-THE question Of
whether or not Colonel Roosevelt would
come to Chicago and what effect his com
ing would have on the tense situation
came up at almost every turn OF the end
less discussions and arguments among the
politicians to-day Nearly all agreed that
the arrival of Roosevelt would bring the
situation to an immediate focus, but the
final outcome OF such an event was dis
puted.
After repeated conferences the Roose-
Welt leaders announced late tonight that
the mass meeting set for Friday after
noon had been postponed to Monday night.
No reason was given for this change in
the date Of holding the Roosevelt demon
stra tion.
There was considerable speculation as
10 just why the date had been changed to
the night before the formal opening of the
convention

CHAPTER XIV.
Colonel EentresS.

The Judge had not forgotten his
ghost, the ghost he had seen in Mr..
Saul's Office that day he went to the
court house on business for Charley
Norton. Working or idling-principal
~ the Iatter-drunk or sober-prin-
cipally the former-the ghost, other
wise Colonel Fentress, had preserved
a place in his thoughts, and now as
he moved stolidly up the drive toward
Fentress' big white house on the hill
with Mahaffy, Cayendish and Yancy
trailing in his wake, memories of what
had once been living and vital crowd
ed in upon him. Some sense Of the
wreck that Uttered the long years, and
the shame of the open shame that had
swept away pride and self-respect,
came back to him out of the past.
He only paused when he stood on
the porttco before Fentress open
door. He glanced about him at the
wide fields, bounded by the distant
timber lands that hid gloomy bottoms,
at the great log barns in the hollow to
his right; at the huddle of white
washed cabins beyond; then with his
big fist he reached in and pounded on
the door. The blows echoed loudly
through the silent house, and an In
slant later Fentress' tall, spare figure
was seen advancing from the far end
Of the hail.
who is it?" he asked.
Judge Price-Colonel Fentress,
said the Judge.

advancing.
Il had fattered myself that you
must have heard of me-" said the
Judge
Il think | have" said Fentress,
pausing now
He thinks he hast" muttered the
judge under his breath.
viii you come in?" it was more
question than an invitation
IF you are at liberty" The colonel
bowed ALLOW me-" the judge con-
tinued Colonel Fentress-Mr. Ma
haffy, Mr.. Yancy and Mr.. Cavendish-"
Again the colonel bowed.
VIII you step into the Hbrary?"
Very good" and the judge followed
the colonel briskly down the ball.

Mr.. Hicks" said the Judge. urbans

Mr. Hicks" said the Judge, urbane
and gracious, Il believe in frankness"
Sure" agreed Hicks. Modified by
the Judges altered tone.
Therefore | do not hesitate to say
that | consider you damned scoun-
drel!" concluded the Judge.
Mr.. Cavendish, accepting the judges
ultimatum as something which must
debar Hicks from all further consid-
Grafton, and being, as he was, exceed
ingly active and energetic by nature.
If one passed over the various forms
OF gainful industry, uttered a loud
whoop and threw himself on the over
seer. There was a brief struggle and
Hicks went down with the Earl of
Lambeth astride of him; then from
his boot leg that knightly soul flashed
a horn-handled ticker Of formidable
dimensions
The judge, Yancy and Mahary,
sprang from their chairs. Mr.. Ma
haffy was plainly shocked at the spec
tacle of Mr.. Cavendish's lawless VIC
lence. Yancy was disturbed, too, but
not by the moral aspects Of the case;
he was doubtful as to how his friends
act would appeal to the Judge He
need not have been distressed on that
score, since the judges one idea was
to profit by it. With his hands on his
knees he was now bending above the
two men.
What do you want to know,
judge?" cried Cavendish, painting from
his exertions. IN learn this parrot
to talk up!"
Hicks" said the judge, lit is in
your power to tell us few things we
are here to find out" Hicks looked
up into the judges face and closed
his lips grimly. "Mr. Cavendish,
kindly let him have the point of that
large knife where he'll feel it most"
ordered the Judge
Talk quick" said Cavendtsh, with
a ferocious scowl. ''Talk-or what's
to hinder me slicing open your WOOL
emp" and he pressed the blade of his
knife against the overseer's throat.
Il don't know anything about Miss
Betty" said Hicks in a sullen whts-
per.
Maybe you don't, but what do you
know about the boy?" Hicks was
silent, but he was grateful for the
judges question. From Tom Ware he
had learned of Fentress' interest In
the boy. Why should he shelter the
colonel at risk of himself? IF you
please, Or. Cavendish!" said the
judge, nodding toward the knife.
You didn't ask me about him. said
Hicks quickly.
Il do now" said the judge.
''He was here yesterday"
Mr. Cavendish-" again the Judge
glanced toward the knife.
Wait" cried Hicks. You go to
Colonel Fentress."
Let him up, Mr.. Cavendish; that's
all We want to know" said the judge.

SOME CLEANING HINTS
METHODS THAT WILL BOTH Rem,
OVATE AND PRESERVE.
Use Spirits of Wine, With Warm Wa
ter, to Freshen Satin-Proper Care
of GIass-Washing Soda
for Silver.

To Clean Satin.-Take equal proper
tons of spirits of wine and warm wa
with this, working down the material
and not across it. While still damp,
iron on the wrong side.
Another plan is to clean the satin
with the following mixture: Four
ounces of honey, the same quantity OF
melted soap mixed with one egg and
one wineglass Of gin, using stiff
brush. When the satin appears clean,
rinse in cold water; press between
clean cloths to dry or hang up to
drain.
Iron while still damp, and thorough
ly dry before folding.
Care of Glass.-There is nothing
that repays one more for careful wash
ing and drying than glass. First one
must have a bowl of warm water soft
ened with dissolved soap, which
makes a very good lather. Too hot
water should not be used, as it might
crack the glass.
Have a bowl Of clean water to rinse
the glass in after washing 1t and if
very fine polish be desired on it have
third bowl of cold water with little
ammonia in it. Wash each article sep
arately, rinse it we'll, and dry with a
soft glass cloth, which should be made
of linen or little, fluffy particles will
stick to the glass and spoil the ap-
pearaEce.
When it is washed and dried polish
with leather kept for the glass, or
with a silk handkerchief or with some
soft tissue paper.
How to Clean Silver.-Have an alu-
minum pan containing about two gal
Ions Of cold water. In this dissolve a
piece Of washing soda about the size
Of an egg, and heat the solution to
| boiling point. Drop into this the sill
Yer to be cleaned, taking care to keep
the whole at boiling point. Let the
silver soak for three or four minutes.
Lift out with a wire spoon or long
handled fork, wash in hot soap suds
and wipe quickly with a perfectly dry
towel. The pieces so cleaned will be
as highly polished as when new.
This process will neither injure
plated nor solid ware. When all the
silver is finished, if there are any
! pieces that do not look white and
clear, rub them with little dry whit
ing and dry buster; then polish off
with a soft, dry cloth.
To Wash Feather Boa.-Prepare a
soap lather and one or two lukewarm
rinsing waters. Place the boa in the
soap lather and wash it by squeezing
between the hands till quite clean.
Rinse it well to take out all the dirty
water and soap.
When this is done, squeeze the wa
ter out of the feather and roll in a
cloth, which will absorb the moisture
Take hold of the boa by the ends and
twist each in the opposite direction,
thus giving the natural twist to the
boa. Fasten a piece Of tape to each
Ind tie these to line to prevent the
twist from becoming undone. Shake
the boa to separate the fronds, and
leave it until quite dry, occasionally
shaking it to keep the fronds apart.
The drying process should be done
in warm place, SO that it will dry
quickly, and the fronds thus become
fluffy, WHEN it is ready for curling.

The Middle-Aued Woman.

Of the many ways in which the mid
dle-aged woman may vary the effect
of her afternoon gowns none is SIM
pier than the use of a collar and cuffs
Of white wolfe edged with scalloping
an dembroidery in floral design. An
other change may be the frock set of
white chiffon with border of black
malines, and still another is the one of
black net hemstitched with silver
thread Some Of these collars are SO
long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line, where they cross In
surplice effect and are tucked away
under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort is of light blue lawn EN-.
broidered with black dots, and sec.
ond is of white agaric trimmed with
tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating
with eponge.

japan Land of DisIliusionmcnt

The landing at Yokohama brings a
series Of surprises and disillusion-
ments; so far from being covered with
lacquer, the empire of Japan in dry
weather is dusty and in rain is sur
faced with mud; the tea houses are
not built of porcelain. but of plain
wood; the people eat beans and dried
fish when they can get them; the trees
have bark and leaves; but not al bear
cherry blossoms; the numerous noun
tains all slope uphill. Thus the first
hour on shore sweeps away the en-
chantments of a lifetime. and reveals
a land strikingly like some parts OF
Alaska, and a people extremely hui

Judge.
No, l don't, but I reckon it must

unWillingly. Il seen to the feeding

safed to explain.

'Mas'r Ca'ington's done gone off to

Hicks started violently at this piece
of news.
I reckon he'll have to travel a
right smart distance to find pack Of
dogs" he muttered. Il don't know OF
none this side OF Colonel Bates down
below Girard."
The judge was lost in thought. He
permitted an interval of silence to
elapse in which Hicks glance slid
round in a furtive circle.
when did Mr. Ware set out for
Memphis?" asked the judge at length.
Early yesterday. He goes there
pretty often on business"
You talked with Mr.. Ware before
he left?" Hicks shook his head Did
he speak of Miss Malroy?" Hicks
shook his head. Did you see her dur
ing the afternoon"
'No-maybe you think these mig
gers amt enough to keep a man stir

scowl The judge noticed both the

Hicks" he agreed affably.
"a mans got to be hog for work
to hold a job like NINE" said Hicks
sourly.
But it came to your notice that
Miss Malroy has been in a disturbed

! murder? | am interested In this point,
Mr.. Hicks, because your experience is
SO entirely at variance with my own.
1t was my privilege to see and speak
with her yesterday afternoon; | was
profoundly impressed by her natural

smiled, then he leaned forward across
the desk. What were you doing up
here early this morning-hasn't a hog
| for work like you got any business OF
his own at that hour?" The judges
tone was suddenly offensive.
Look here, what right have you
| got to try and pump me?" cried Hicks

Yes, sir; him and me discussed it
together"
The judge regarded Hicks long and
intently and in silence. His magnifi-
cent mind was at work. If Betty had
been distraught he had not observed
any sign Of it the previous day. II
Ware were better informed as to her
true mental state why had he chosen
this time to go to Memphis?
Il suppose Mr.. Ware asked you to
keep an eye on Miss Malroy while he
was away from homer" said the Judge
Hicks, suspicious Of the drift OF his
questioning, made no answer. Il sup
pose you told the house servants to
keep her under observation contin-
ued the Judge.
Il don't talk to no niggers," replied
Hicks, except to give 'em my Or
ders."
We'll, did you give them that or

No, l didn't"
The sudden and hurried entrance OF

dressed himself to Slocum Price.

quickly.
