CHAPTER XIV.
I'm Sure-enOuRh Countrv.

One morning, more than a month
after the closing DAYS of school. Alb
bolt Ashton CHANGED to looI, from his
bedroom window as Hamilton Greg
orys buggy, with Fran in it, passed.
lhere were no more examination
papers for Abbott to struggle with
but, like bees who spend the pleasant
est weather in hardest work, he was
laying up mathematical sweetness and
psychological suculence against the dav
when he might become professor at
Yale or Harvard. :
Unthrifty Fran. on the contrary. was
bent upon no mission of self-inprove
ment. Long fishing poles projecting
from the back of the buggy. protested
against the conmercialism of the age
their yellow hue streaked the sornber
background OF a money getting world.
while the very joints of the poles
Knocked at continuity of purpose.
BY Frans side, Abbott discovered
man. True, it was only Simon Jef
terSon; still, for all his fifty years and
MS weak heart, it was not as If it
were some pleasant respectable woman
say Simons mother. However, old
ladies do not sit upon creek banks.
The thought of sitting upon the bank
OF stream suggested to Abbott that
1t would be agreeable to pursue his
studies in the open air. The Tune
morning had not vet had its dewv,
sweetness burned away bv droughts
old sun. Abbott snatched I'D some
books and went below. In almost
every front yard there were roses. Up
and down the street. they bloomed in
all colors, with delicate, penetrating,
Intoxicating fragrance. They were
not hidden away in misery back gar;
dens, these roses; they smiled for the
meanest beggar, for the most self
sufficient tramp. for the knowledge
burdened scholar. for the whistling
driver of the grocer's wagon. Thew,
had often smiled in vain for Abbott
Ashton. but that was before he had
made the bewildering discovery that
they were like Fran.
In the green veranda he paused to
inhale their fragrance
I'm glad you've left your room"
said Miss Sapphira. all innocence. all
kindness. You'll study Yourself to
death. 1t won't make any more of
life to take it hard-there's just so
much for every man"
Abbott smiled abstractedly. He
heard nothing but the voices of the
roses.
Huge and serious, Miss Sapphira SIT
in the shadow of the bay window.
Against the wall were arranged sturdy
round-backed wooden chairs, each OF
which could have received the land
lady's person without a quiver of a
spindle. Everything about Abbott
seemed too carefully ordered-he pinned
tor the wholesome messy bank slop-
ing to purling stream.

Guatemala and Salvador.
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal
Instead of revolution. rumors of war
float from Latin America. The explana-
ton that the recent ASA ssination of the
President Of Salvador was provoked by
domestic politics is now linked with the
suggestion that the domestic political an
imosities had been previously provoked
from the capital of Guatemala. A mob
ilization of Guatemalan troops on the
border is mentioned. and the people OF
Salvador. are reported in a belligerent
mood. Goth these countries have a rela-
lively good record for internal peace, and.
except that Salvador had always to be
prepared for aggressions when Zelaya
ruled Nicaragua, for a tolerable restraint
of the militant temperament so common
in that quarter. Both are Industrious
and just now apparently prosperous
Guatemala has twice the population of
it's neighbor, and a standing army. on
paper. at least as large as that of the
United States. Salvador maintains its
military establishment on a peace footing
far less formidable. 1t is a familiar
story that wars are threatened in Central
America by the interference of one gov
eminent in the domestic concerns OF
another. but the circumstances in this
instance are obscure.

Fighting for Her Life

The next day found Fran the bluest

sat alone. halfway tip the ladder

meant to be just as miserable as she
pleased, since there was no observer
to be deceived by sowing cheat-seed of

muttered Fran despondently. yet here

skirts gathered UP in a listless arm
till they were unbecomingly abridged,
withs every muscle and fiber seeming
to sag like an Unsupported fence,
Fran's thoughts were at the abysmal
stage of Encouragement. For time,
there seemed in her heart not the
tiniest taper alight, and in this black
ness. both hope and failure were alike
indistinguishable
But we'll See" she cried. at last

and she clenched her fists, flung open
the barn door and marched upon the
house with battle in her eyes Girding
up her loins-that is. smoothing her
hair-and sharpening her weapons for
instant use, sh, opened the library
door.
She knew Grace Noir had gone to
the city with Robert Clinton, and vet
her feeling on seeing Hamilton Greg
DRY alone, was akin to surprise How
queerly lonesome he looked, without
his secretary! There was something
ghostly about Grace Noir's typewriter
it seemed to have fallen into Fran's
power like all enen,y's trophy too
easily captured The pens and pencils
were at her mercy, so readily surren-
dered that they suggested treachery.

TAKES EXCEPTIONS TO.
VIEWS OF MATTHEWS

Answering the recent attacks in
public speeches by Assemblyman
John A. Matthews on woman's suf-
frage, the president of the New Jer-
sey Womans Suffrage Association.
Mrs. Lillian F. Feickert, Of Dunellen,
has replied 10 his argument with
some Of her own.
Mrs. Feickerts statement is issued
as coming from the members Of the
association. She analyses each of
Mr.. Matthew's arguments and pro-
ceeds to tear away the foundation of
his statements. In recent speech
in another city Mr. Matthews de-
clared that the percentage Of women
who wanted to vote was but eight Of
every hundred. Mrs. Feickerts de-
clares that there are ten women en-
rolled in the suffrage cause for every
one enrolled in the ants. She says
that the strength of each side should
be taken from this fact.
Mr.. Matthew's statement that the
women lobbyists for the suffrage bill
at Trenton last winter used smiles
and cajolery, instead of argument,
was denied by Mrs. Feiekert. He
reflects upon the intelligence of his
colleagues in the Assembly when he
declares they could be won over 10
the bill by smiles alone"

TURKISH POLICE BATTLE
TO CAPTURE ASSASSIN

CONSTANTINoPLE June ia
miniature battle was fought here to-
day between police detachment and
a man named Zia, supposed to be one
of the assassins of the late grand
vizier, Mahmoud Schefket Pasha
Zia was mortally wounded and
judge and a police officer were struck
by bullets. The police officers wound
is likely to be fatal.
The police proceeded early this
morning to a house in Piraeus street.
where they had heard Zia was hiding.
They surrounded the house and Zia
Immediately began shooting with a
revolver. One of the bullets hit Lieu
tenant Hilmi Bey in the chest and
another entered the foot of Judge
Samuel Effendi, the examining mag
istrate accompanying the police.
The policemen returned the fire and
soon afterwards entered the house to
find Zia suffering from a fatal wound
The fighting, however, was not over
and it was found necessary to call
troops to assist the police in captur-
ing the house.
Some of Zia's companions had re-
tired to the top floor, whence they
maintained hot fire. The besiegers
then made preparations to storm
them.

fessed to being near the stable, but
denied applying the match. Repeated
questioning broke down his story

In the stable at the time of the
fire were II horses and mules. The

of fate, Jimmy" was the only horse
to escape from another ineendiary
fire six years ago in a charcoal stable
fifty feet from the scene of the latest
one.
At that time George Keber, now
serving seven years in States prison,
set fire to a tenement and the flames
spread to the stable. Someone ran to
the stable, ana picking morse at
random from the stalls, dragged him
to safety, the only one of twenty ami
mails to be rescued.
Howley, according to his confess
sion, and the statement of his en-
ployer. had been drinking for several
days prior to Wednesday, when he
was discharged. He received his pay
and left the place at o'clock.
At 11:S0 o'clock Wednesday night
three youths on their way home from
the island passed the stable and
minute later passed Howley, lean
ing on a fence. The discharge of the
watchman was common gossip in the
neighborhood that night and the
young mems suspicious were aroused
by his actions.
Standing on the Chapel street bridge
over the canal, hundred feet away,
they watched the man as he moved
toward the stable. He passed from
sight into the darkness, according to
their stories, and was not seen again
until a match fiared up in the door
