She rested now, frankly and fairly,
in the shelter of his arms, and both
were oblivious to the gale that rushed
past them in quicker and stronger
blasts. The big downpour of rain had
not yet come, but the mist-like squalls
were more frequent. Daylight was

Then was the moment, among the
trees, ere they began the descent of
the hill, that Daylight might have
drawn her closely to him and kissed
her once. But he was too perplexed
with the new thoughts she had put
into his head to take advantage of the
situation. He merely caught her by
the arm and helped her over the
rougher footing. At the edge of the
grove he suggested that it might be
better for them to part there, but she
insisted that he accompany her as far

does not feel that in justice to himself
he should keep the position any
longer.

j. s. RUSH MARINES
TO SAN DOMINGO
Force Of $50 Take Passage on
Transport Prairie.
WILL GUARD THE CUSTOMS
President Takes Step Toward Inter
Vention to End Revolution in
Island Republic While on
Board Of Train.

Philadelphia, Sept ga force of
$50 marines will sail from Philadel-
phis tomorrow on the transport Prai-
RE for Santo Domingo to protect the
American customs receiyership there.
This decision was reached by Press-
dent Taft at a conference with Beck
man Winthrop, assistant secretary OF
the navy, on the presidents train en-
route from Washington to New York.
The marines will be sent to Santo
Domingo as a precautionary measure
to guard against attacks on the custom
houses which the United States gov
eminent, under the receivership, Is
bound to protect The rebels have
been active since the assassination Of
the president of Haiti early in August.
but so far have refrained from molest-
ing the custom houses.
The marines will be drawn from the
Atlantic coast stations and VIII be
commanded by Col Franklin p. Moses:
The distribution OF the force will be
supervised b. Brig Gen. Frank Mcln-
tyre of the insular bureau of the war
department and IT, T. Doyle. chief of
the Latin-American bureau OF the de-
partment of state, who Will accom-
pany the detachment on the Prairie.
The custom houses of Haiti were
placed practically under the jurisdic-
ton Of the United States by Colonel
Roosevelt when president and when
England. France, Germany and other
foreign creditors of San Domingo
threatened TO send warships to San
Domingo and seize the customs
house. President Roosevelt forestalled
foreign action by sending an Ameri-
can squadron primarily to keep the
peace. San Domingo entered into a
compact with the United States by
which the latter was to guarantee her
debts to foreign nations. The debts
amounted to about twenty million dol
lars The United States took over
several Of the custom houses and col
lected, and still collects. the revenues.
San Domingo pays over monthly
about $1,000, 900 TO the Guaranty Trust
company of New York for distribution
among the creditors.
The revolutionists in San Domingo
have seized five custom houses, TERRA
Nueve, De Jarbon. Commemorate, Bari
ca and Pedro Males.
The action OF the United States has
been communicated to the Haitien and
Dominican governments for the rea-
son that the custom. houses arc near
disputed frontier.
For the present the United States
will regard as the true frontier a pro-
visional line which was delineated by
the United States war department
staff In 1907. In other words, the Uni
ted States viii seize and reopen the
closed custom houses. no matter
whether they lie in territory claimed
by San Domingo or Haiti

NO PRESENT RELIEF
Meat Prices May Remain High Until
January Because of Scarcity
of Cornfed Stock.

Milwaukee.--No relief for the
present high prices of meats can be
sen by local meat dealers, at least
not until after the crops are being
fed to stock, which date dealers put
at Jan I. Until then, say the meat
men, prices may soar indefinitely, for.
the scarcity of prime cornfed stock is.
acknowledged to be acute in Milwau-
kee and in other cities.
There is some difference of opinion
among the dealers as tc the exact
cause of the raise in prices, and there
is considerable variance in the
prices quoted by dealers in different
parts of the city. Michael Cudahv
of the Cudahy Packing company said
that as rule the prices were the
same as month ago, but that in one
or two cases meats had gone up, and
in others had been reduced slightly
Beef is the same as a month ago."
said Mr.. Cudahy, with the better
grades slightly higher. There has
been little raise in the price of
pork, about l u cents a pound. Lamb
is 2 cents cheaper than it was then.
while veal is cents higher. Bacon
is about the same, with The better
grades running from 1 u to cents
a pound higher.
THE housewife does not realize
the fact, however, that although the
prices this year are high, in many
cases, they are cheaper than a year
ago"

BROKER COMMITS SUICIDE
Circumstances Surrounding Death OF
Edward j. Dwyer Are Puzzle
to the Police.

Janesville.-E. J. Dwyer, men,
Der of the Chicago board of trade
ten years ago, was found dead in the
rear of freight house. a bullet
wound and other circumstances indi-
Gated that he had taken his own life.
This theory is strengthened by a
story told here by James Sehaller, a
jockey, who said he had taken din
ner with Dryer in a Chicago cafe.
"Dwyer spent his money freely al
though | never knew him 20 plunge
on horse race. He must have spent
the most of $50 on the dinner and
wine be bought when / was his guest.
He remarked to me that his money
was all gone, that he was through
and that he was going to Wisconsin
to make an end OF it,"
When Dryers body was found
there was only twelve cents in his
pockets. A few years ago he could
draw his check for thousands of dol
lars. The corpse was found in a sit
ting posture with back and head
against the screen door and was first
noticed by Mrs. Artlip, mistress of
the house, as she opened the back
door
Thinking that it was merely
drunken man on the steps she tele-
phoned one of the boarders to see
that he was removed. On his arrival
in response to her call he at once no.
ticed that the supposed drunken man
was corpse. Blood was despatched
over nis neck cloth and clothes, from
wound in his face, and between his
outstretched legs was pool of con-
gealed blood.

HOW LIFE IS SPENT.

The days OF our lives are three
score years and ten" sings the
Psalmist; and the man or woman who
attains that age spends years OF his
life in doing what are regarded as
common daily actions. The average
person of seventy has spent no fewer
tnan twenty-tbree years Of his life In
bed. assuming that his nightly sleep
has been eight hours throughout life,
says the London Answers. Most peo-
pie spend about fifteen minutes day
over the care OF their teeth. The
septuagenarians have thus spent al
most a year In this way How long
have they spent at table? Allow half
an hour for each meal, and the an
swer Is six years. They eat on an
average one loaf Of bread day. In
all their life three miles OF loaves
have been consumed. supposing that
the latter are put end to end. lnclud-
ing tea. coffee and milk. three hun
bred barrels of liquid have been &C
counted for. The Office man OF sew
enty has put in Ave years in walking
10 the station and to his Office. A
woman of seventy. even simple in her
dress. has taken seven years In cloth
ing herself A man and 4 woman
who have reached the allotted span
Of life win have used 500 pairs OF
boots between them, 400 dreeses and
500 hats.
