CHAPTER w.
Plans for Escape.

StAn8 vof escape.
Desperate As he certainly felt their
situation to be. for a moment or two
Hamlin was unable to cast aside the
influence OF the girl, or concentrate
his thoughts on some plan for escape.
1t may have been the gentle pressure
Of her hand upon his sleeve. but her
voice continued to ring in his ears. He
had never been a woman's man. nor
was he specially interested In this
woman beside him. He had seen her
fairly. with his first appreciative
glance, when he had climbed into the
stage on the preceding day. He had
realized there fully the charm Of her
face, the dark roguish eyes. the clear
skin. the wealth Of dark hair. Yet
all this was impersonal; however
pretty she might be. the fact was
nothing to him and never could be.
Knowing who she was. he compre-
hended instantly the social gulf
stretching unbridged between them.
An educated man himself, with family
connections he had long ago ceased
to discuss. he realized his present
position more keenly than he other
wise might. He had enlisted In the
army with no misunderstanding as to
what private's uniform meant. He
had never heretofore supposed he re-
gretted any loss in this respect, his
nature apparently satisfied with the
excitement Of active frontier service,
yet he vaguely knew there had been
hn IN
ship with women Of the class to
which he had once belonged. For.
tunately his border stations offered
little temptation in this respect, and
he had grown to believe that he had
actually forgotten. That afternoon
even-sweetly fair as Miss Mcdonald
undoubtedly appeared-he had looked
upon her without the throb of a pulse,
as he might upon a picture. She was
not for him even 10 admire-she was
Major McDonald's daughter, whom he
had been sent to guard. That was all
then.
Yet he knew that somehow it was
different now-the personal element
had entered unwelcomed, into the
equation. Sitting there in the dark,
Gonzales body crumpled on the floor
at his feet. and Moylan lying stiff and
cold along the back seat. with this
girl grasping his sleeve in trust, she
remained no longer merely the Ma
jor's daughter-she had become her
self. And she did not seem to care
and did not seem to realize that there
were barriers Of rank, which under
other circumstances must SO utterly
separate them. She liked him, and
frankly told him SO. not as she would
dismiss an inferior with kindness,
but as though he was an equal, as
though he was gentleman. Some
how the very tone of her voice, the
clinging touch Of her hand, sent the
blood pumping through his veins.
Something besides duty inspired
him; he was no longer merely a SOL
der. but had suddenly become trans
formed into man. Years Of repres-
sion, of iron discipline, were blotted
out. and he became even as his birth
right made him. Molly Mcdonald"

name unconsciously to himself. Then

A FAVORABLE. REPORT
Made on Small Amount Lost
BY Fire Here.

In a report of the fires in Indiana
cities, during 1912, Richmond's report
is the most favorable in almost every
detail, according to information re-
ceived by Fire Chief Miller from a
national underwriters association,
among the twelve cities of the state
having a population of more than. 90
900. Muncie closely follows Rich
mond.
Out of 80 fires in building, the total
value of which were s12S,555, the total
loss was only s7.2S2 The number of
fires per 1000 population was $50.
In this respect only, Muncie's report
is slightly better than Richmond's. the
number of fires per 1000 population
in Muncie for the year being sos. The
fire loss for the year in Muncie exceed
ed that in Richmond by $4,000, Muncie
having had a total fire loss of S11, ,207.
The lowest fire loss per 1000 popu-
lation in the state was in Richmond
where the loss was 81 cents.

ECONOMY, Ind, May 23.--Less
than twenty-four hours after Laura
Flemming had filed suit for divorce
i'll the Wayne circuit court from Chas.
d. Flemming, Sheriff Bayer and
Deputy Mote. were called yesterday
afternoon to the Flemming farm, two
miles west of Economy.
Mrs. Flemming filed suit for a de-
cree Wednesday afternoon and yester
day afternoon a call was sent to Rich
mond. Mrs. F7emming alleged that
her husband was trying to kill her.
When the sheriff arrived, after max
ing record-breaking time to the farm
house In an automobile, Flemming
was busily engaged in working in the
fields while his wife received the Off
cials and told them her tale of woe.
The two have been having trouble
for several months, it is said, and Mrs.
Flemming said she thought Flemming
was going to kill her when he rushed
into the house for his shot gun after
bursting in the rear door. Flemming
told the officials he got the gun to kill
chicken, hawk. -.- -..
He rushed to the house and finding
the door locked forced it with his
shoulder. Mrs. Flemming saw him
rush for the gun and pull open a
drawer in the kitchen where he kept
the shells. According to her story her
husband then. threatened to kill her
and also struck her daughter, Vera,
10. Flemming said he had no inten-
tions of using the weapon on his wife
and denied that he struck his daugh-
ter.
In her complaint for divorce Mrs.
Flemming says that she was cruelty
treated. She also fled restraining
order against her husband to prevent
his from disposing of his property.
Mrs. Flemming showed the sheriff
the open drawer while her husband
had failed to close after hastily pro-
curing shells A bond of $10O was
given by ~Flemming to insure his ap-
pearance should his wife Ale an affi-
dayit against him.

some Progressive Republi-
cans Are Militant But
Others Are in a Very Dip
lomatic Mood Now.
A GAUNTLET HURLED
BY SENATOR BORAH
Says Either G. O. P. Is Re-
organized on Progressive
Lines Or There Will Be No
Reorganization.
(Nationai News Association1

WASHINGTON, May 23-Members
of the progressive Republican wing of
the Republican party, on the eve OF
the meeting of the executive committee
of the national Republican committee,
before which they propose to lay their
plans for reorganizing the G. o. P,
have split over the means to be en-
ployed. ...' 's'rt
One group of progressives, headed
by such men as Borah and Kenyon, is
inclined to take militant view of the
mater and ignore the standpatters il
they do not at once fall in with their
plans, while another group, headed
by Senator Cummins, of Iowa, chair
man of the committee selected by the
Chicago progressive conferees to lay
the peace plans before the executive
committee, ID inclind to pacificatory
measureC.
Il am in every way for a peaceful
settlement of the matter" said Sena-
tor Cummins today. IF we are to con-
tinue at loggerheads, the party will
remain in it's present divided condi-
ton.
"The crux of the situation" contin-
ued the senator. "is the reform of dele
gate representation. With this granted
other matters will take care of them
selves"
Senator Borah was not inclined to
take conciliatory view toward the
possible action of the executive COM
mittee of the national committee.
81 hope, of course" said Senator Bo-
rah, that the national committee will
take some affirmative action, which
will disclose their entire willingness
to adjust the representation, but
whether they do this or not, the move
ment will go on just the same and the
Republican party will in 1916 write a
progressive platform and nominate a
progressive candidate. Eighty per cent
are distinctly in favor of progressive
legislation"
Senator Cummins was of the opin-
ion that Republican conference
should be called for September of this
year or at the very latest during the
spring of 1914.

cords Today.

j. D. Smith and r. c. James. of the
state board of accounts, have COM
pleted the work of examining the
books of school officials in the cor
porations in Wayne county outside of

cordance with an act of the state leg
islature passed in 1909 The books of
the officials We're examined from July
81, 1908 until August 1, 1911. A re-
port will be submitted to the state Of
ficials, and should there be any. short
ages they will be made public after
the higher authorities have examined
the reports. The school records of
Richmond were examined last year,
and it will reuqire but short time to
complete the work of examining the
records made since that time.

Although Amount Contribut-
ed Has Not Reached 81, 900
1t Is Expected $1,000 Will
Be Subscribed.
REFUSAL
ON PART OF SOME
However, AS a Rule, the Re-
sponses Were More Liberal
Than the Committee Ex-
pected.

The Richmond Fall Festival for 1913
Is an assured fact.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon the A.
nance committee with its sixty sub
committees announced that approxim-
ately $500 had been pledged during
the canvass this forenoon. More than
one hundred subscriptions are believed
certain. in addition to those reported
up to noon, and the fund will reach
raise $1,000 in order that all features
planned might be carried out.
Contributions Liberal.
= The campaign was conducted with a
vim, only one or two of the sub-com-
mittees failing to respond. and this
was due to unavoidable causes. The
reports began coming in shortly after
10 O'Clock. and from that hour until
o'clock this afternoon the finance
committee was busy receiving returns.
There were some surprises occasioned
by the absolute refusal of some busi-
ness concerns TO aid in the enterprise.
but as a rule the responses were not
only more liberal than expected. but
they were forthcoming with the best
kind of spirit being manifested.
Some Not Seen.
There is no question that scores of
persons who desire to aid in the fes-
tival plans for next October were not
seen today, owing to the short time
allotted to the work, but any of these
persons who may desire to assist will
have their wants attended to by notify
ing the committe, of which E. II .Har-
ris is chairman.
During the noon hour there was din
ner for the working committees on the
fourth floor of the Masonic temple. the
repast being served under the direc-
ton of John Zwissler, Charles Slifer
and John B. Hegger.
Plans for the festival will start next
week

TRACTION PEOPLE
CHANGING FRONT
Appear Before Utilities Com
mission and Ask Many
Questions Today.
National News Association,

- INDIANAPOLIS, May .23.- Traction
Interests of Indians wssdch Opposed
the regulation of public utilities by
the state before the last legislature
seem to have changed front and today
were before the new public utilities
commission asking many questions.
These questions covered wide range
as may be judged from the following
two questions dealing with rates:
May an .interurban street railway
company pursuant to the commercial
railroad two cent fare act collect re-
gardless of the supervisory authority
of the public service commission of
Indiana the mileage fare of two cents
mile for the transportation of an
adult passenger?
May an interurban street railroad
company confuse it's mileage rate of
passenger fare with certain flat rates
fixed by municipal franchises for GER
tain definite zones so that the flat or
zone rates shall be preserved in their
entirety and be collected, plus the
mileage rate beyond the zone of the
flat rate for one and the same passen-
ger fare?
Those who have analyzed these
questions came to the conclusion that
the traction companies were still try
ing to establish themselves as having
practically the same status of steam
railroads, whose regulation by the
commission is under the old railroad
commission law instead of under the
new, broader public utility law, and
which does not include control over
capitalization.
