Color and glow faded from the sky;
once more the search-lights flared out
around the track and transformed 1t
TO a silver ribbon, running between
walls of ebony darkness except where
the lamp-gemmed stands arose. Al
ready newspapers were being cried
announcing Stanton's coming victory.
Driving evenly, steadily, refusing
all challenges to speed duels and at
tempting none of his deadly tactics OF
the night before, Stanton piloted his
car to the inevitable result. At nine
o'clock the flag dropped, and amid a
hubbub of enthusiasm the Mercury
crossed the line, winner. :
Later, when the triumphant tumult
in the Mercury camp had somewhat
subsidized, Stanton walked over to
where Floyd was leaning against a
column of unused tires.
you've had twenty-four hours of
me-" he said abruptly. How did it
strike you?"
Floyd raised his candid gray eyes
to the others face, and in spite of ex-
haustion smiled with glinting frank
ness and humor.

began.

Floyd straightened; even in the un-
certain light the color could be seen
to rise over his face.

"You know-oh, / can tune up a
motor, understand my work, but for
road racing-you know I can't crank
your car or change a tire without
help"
Stanton smiled grimly.

my own car" he quoted at him. "You
have your nerve, can't have a whin-
ing gutter to drive with me. l make
you the offer; take or leave it. But
remember, / am likely to break your
neck"
"Ill chance that" answered Floyd,
drawing a quick breath, and held out
his slender hand. ''I'll come"
The pact was made In after time,
Stanton came to wonder at its bald
simplicity.

Floyd, little later, when that young
mechanician, at least specifically
cleaner and wrapped in a long dust
coat, was leaving the training camp

WOULDN'T BE TIED.

A horse owned by a Connecticut
farmer, has been trained to stand any
where without hitching. A new hired
man drove him to town one day and
tied him with a rope to a post. The
horse took this as an insult to his
dignity. He chewed the rope in two
and ran away at terrific pace
through the streets. Having satisfied
himself that he had taught the hired
man lesson, he calmly returned to
the hitching-post, where he was
found contentedly chewing the end
of the rope.

A MYSTERY WOMAN
IN kNABE MURDER
A "Dr. Templeton,' a Wom-
an, Testifying Before the
Grand Jury Today.
(NationaI News Association)


INDIANAPOLIS, June 21.-The en-
trance Of woman calling herself DR..
Eva Templeton into the Knabe case.
which the grand jury is investigating,
created considerable comment today,
as her connection with the case here
tofore has not been brought out. She
apparently is not known as a physi-
clan and rumors are persistent that
she may be a detective assisting Harry
c. Webster, who has under investiga-
tion the testimony in the case. 1t is
said the woman at one time maintain
ed a beauty parlor on Ohio street, and
that she became intimate with Lydia
Tenant, the housekeeper for DIR. w. B.
Craig, who has admitted he is under
suspicion. Just what testimony DR..
Templeton offered the grand jury yes
terday is not known, but, although il
is said she was a close friend of DR.
Knabe, Miss Augustus Knabe, who was
in the room much of the time, and
Miss Katherine Mcpherson. the office
assistant of DIR. Knabe, did not appear
to recognize her. Miss Knabe appear
ed before the grand jury this morning
and her testimony occupied a good
part of the morning. Miss Mcpherson
was there also. waiting to be examin.
ed. While the belief was general that
the grand jury would make a report
late today word has been passed out
that the grand jury will enter into the
case more thoroughly and is preparing
to call in a special list of witnesses
including newspaper men assigned to
the story of the murder. This. it is
said, may delay the report until Mon
day.

CHICAGO. June 21-The leaders of
the Roosevelt movement are now bus
lily engaged in forming a new progress
sive party to be known as the Pro-
eressive party, SO stated today by Gov
crnon Deneen, of Illinois. The plan Of
the Roosevelt faction was outlined
briefly as follows by the Illinois execu

gates of the Roosevelt states will sit
quietly throughout the convention. If
the tainted delegates sit, there will
be no participation on the part of the
Roosevelt people and they will not
vote. AS soon as the convention ad-
journs the new party will issue a call
for it's own convention" Where this
will be held has not been determined.
1t may be at Chicago at once. This is
the situation briefly, as Gov. Deneen
outlined it: THE Roosevelt men, Fran
els J. Heney and others, are busy in
their headquarters at the hotel form

party is to be progressive. 1t is to be

According to reliable statements,
men at Roosevelt's headquarters are
now making up list of men who will
take an important part in the new
Party. They will represent the vari-
ous states in the organization work.
The new party movement has been un-
der consideration since the leaders ar
rived at Chicago and began watching
the work of the national committee.
The first plan was to make a thor

A SUNDAY SCHOOL
LEAGUE IS.F0RMEO
Purpose Is to Promote Inter
est in Games and Sports
at Play Grounds.

With the aim of promoting interest
and participation in healthful outdoor
sports, a Sunday School playground
league has been orga- ized. The object
of the league is to afford every boy
or girl, attending Sunday school and
enrolled upon the Sunday school regis
ters in the city, an opportunity to en-
joy games on the public school
grounds, without purchasing an e2-
pensive equipment.
According to the plan each Sunday
school which joins the league will be
requested to pay but one cent for each
student enrolled. This money will be
used for the purchase of equipment.
The following notice issued today
by the executive committee of the new
ly formed league explains all details:
A Notice 10 Issued.
A Sunday School Playground Lea
que has been formed for this summer.
Its object is to make it possible for all
Sunday School boys and girls to enjoy
the games on the public school play
grounds without purchasing an ex-
pensive equipment. The grounds are
open to the public without any charg-
es whatever, but the expense referred
to keeps many boys and girls from
joining in the games. 1t is this hind
rance that the League hopes to re-
move.
Any Sunday school in the city may
join the league by paying sum equal
to one cent for each member in the
schools total enrolment. Tickets will
then be supplied the school, each of
which must have written on it in ink

or woman enrolled in the school and
any boy under eighteen years of age
enrolled in the school is entitled to a
ticket, and on presentation of this
ticket, at the Fairgrounds will have

ment, however. must not be shared
with parties who do not hold tickets.
Payment of the membership fee may
be made and tickets obtained by SUI
perintendents or their representatives
at the Y. NJ. c. A. building or at the
Fairgrounds.
While the chief aim is to promote
continuous interest and participation
