CHAPTER XIX.
A Full Confesslon.


There were two more dances sched-
uled on the program. The last Of
these had begun before the infantry
sergeant returned, and, apologizing
for his long absence, resumed his du-
ties at the door. Across the room,
Hamlin's eyes met those Of Miss Nc
Donald. where she danced with an
elbowed his way to the street. The
hotel opposite was all hustle and con-
fusion, the bar-room crowded with the
thirsty emergency walters who had
rushed about the hall completing final
preparations. The Sergeant, intent
on his purpose, and aware that the
band had ceased playing, lodged past
these and entered the parlor. 1t was
already occupied by four men, who
were playing cards at small. round
table and smoking vigorously, entire
ly engrossed in their game. None Of
them SO much as glanced up, and the
intruder hesitated an instant, quickly
determining his course of action.
There was little choice left. The girl
would never make an appointment
with him except through necessity,
and it was manifestly his duty to pro-
tect her from observation. Two of the
men sitting there were strangers; the
others he knew merely by sight, a
tin-horn gambler called Charlie, and a
suffers clerk. His decision was swift,
and characteristic.

He stared after them until they were
lost in the crowd. feeling confident
that the motion Of those white-gloved
fingers was meant as a signal of
warning. To whom was 1t conveyed?
He glanced aside at the Jam OF figures
In the doorway. Both the black. whis-
kered man and Connors had disap-

The Sergeant had scarcely grasped
this fact when his attention was d.
verted by the appearance Of Miss Mo
Donald. She was dancing with CT.
william, an Immediately dressed indi-
vidual with ruddy, boyish face. His
intense admiration of his partner was
plainly evident, and the girl, simply
dressed in white, her cheeks flushed,
her dark eyes bright with enjoyment,
set Hamlin's cool nerves thrcbbing.
He could not resist gazing at her, and,
as their eyes met, she bowed, the full
red lips parting In a smile of recogni-
ton. There was no reservation, no
restraint in that quick greeting, as
she whirled by; he could not fail to
comprehend its full significance-she
had not forgotten, had no desire to
forget. What he imagined he read
In her face swept all else from his
mind instantly, and, with eager eyes,
he followed her slight, girlish figure
as they circled the hall. The music
ceased, and he still watched as the
lad led her to seat, himself sinking
into a chair beside her. Then the pass
ing out of several men, who desired
return checks, claimed his attention.
When the last of these had disap-
peared, he glanced again in her direc-
ton. She was alone, and her young
partner was walking toward him
across the deserted floor. The lad
came to the door, which by now con-
tanned few loiterers, and stood there
a moment gazing out into the street.
"Are you Sergeant Hamlin?" he
asked quietly.

Hamlin felt the flutter of the paper
in his palm, and stood silent, clinging
to 1t, as the other carelessly recrossed
the room. She was looking toward
him, but he made no motion to un-
fold the missive, until his eyes, search
ing the chairs, had located Mrs. Du-
pont. The very secret Of delivery
made him cautious, made him suspect
1t had to do with that woman. She
was beside the band-stand, still con.
versing with the Major, apparently
oblivious to any other presence, her
face turned aside. Assured of this, he
opened the paper, and glanced at the

SEVEN HORSES BURN IN
BARN NEAR HOPE.
Lightning Struck During Thunder
storm Last Friday.

Hope Dispatch: Last Friday
night about midnight the barn on
the Charles Ryan farm four miles
northwest of Hope was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground,
together with seven horses, three
cows, one calf, lot of grain and
hay, all the harness and various
other things.
The family heard the terrible
crash of lightning but did not think
of it striking any of their property
until they saw the fire. The men
were soon on the scene and Glen got
out two horses, but nothing more
could be saved and 1t was a most
pitiful sight that the morning light
revealed, and 1t is a hard blow upon
Glen Ryan who was running the
farm.
The barn was insured for $500
and the stock was insured for $500.
The loss was probably $4,000, and
Is serious loss to a young man
just getting a start in life.
Eeighbors were soon ON the ground
and nothing was burned but the
barn, although other buildings were
not far away.
The lightning must have been a
terrible stroke, for splinters and.
pieces of boards were found fifty
feet from the barn directly against
the wind.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 26.-The

sumed this morning.
D. L. Phillips admitted that he

able to earn only thirty cents a day.
jShe was previously employed at a

week as cash girl.
Silvie Kane, aged seventeen, tes-
titled that she began work at the
Coates factory at So a week. After
week she was put on piece work
at which she was able to earn thirty,
forty or fifty cents a day. Wages
were paid once a month. Later she
was employed at a pattern counter
at McCourtney's at 81 a week except
at Christmas time, when she was
paid one dollar a day.
The International Shoe Company,
a twenty-five million corporation,
was excorciated by the state vice
commission. S. w. Derby, superin-
tendent of the local factory, assum-

says of the meet and the interest
manifested at Junction City:
Plans are Under way to hold a
big track and field meet between
the high schools Of the Fifth Kansas

contest Is to be held on the fair
grounds and under the auspices Of

Invitations have been sent to
about twenty high schools in this

there. Some of those who will prob
ably compete are: Solomon, Salina

The tournament planned is one
of the biggest undertakings in the
history of athletics in Abilene. 1t is
thought that by such a system OF
contests which will probably be
made an annual event, will generate
a spirit of good fellowship among
the students Of this section of the
country and will benefit both them
and the institution. J. G. H. S. will
be strongly represented, two OF her
old stars Lee and Kovarick, are
still in school, both men have COM
peted in the state meets and dis
trict meets before. The local track
talent have been practicing on the
play grounds every evening. Mr..
shideler, manager of athletics, has
urged the high school track men to
get down to hard work in an effort
to represent the school as we'll as
possible. Here he strikes the key
note of the local interest, for 1t is
certainly the part of the men to an
mex some of the honors in this event.
Since Mr.. Shideler first came to
Junction City an increasing inter
est has been manifested in this sport
as a result of his encouragement. A
winner of first place in this meet
will be eligible to the state meet at
Manhattan May II.

sented to the school making the
