very demon of rage took possession of him, sweep
ing aside his Encouragement. He filed with regret
for what he had oone. He had been too hasty, too
lavish There why he should have
stripped himself bare for man who had no actual
claim on him. Doubts crept in everywhere. How did
he know that Fraser hadn't been drawing long bow?
On his showing the other hadn't believed his
story. And they good fellows, all of them They'd
let comrade suffer. But they had given him
nothing nothing! 1t was clear as day why they had
held back. They'd through Fraser's lies and his
silly theatrical acting and they wouldn't make it easy

had had the courage to say 1t only young
fool dizzy with who had allowed himself to be

Smarting with bitterness, Carnody made ready for
the street, and started out in pursuit of his late visitor
He had definite plan of action but it seemed to him
that if he could prove that the money had been obtained
false representations he would be justified in de-
handing its return. Failing that, he'd show the trick
his colors and ruin his standing forever in
the eyes of his brother artists!
FRASER lived at the top of dingy old building; but
Carmody, toiling up the dark, rickety stairs felt
lessening of his resentment the disnalness of his
surroundings only served to increase his anger. He

This glance travelled to the stack of ranged

Such sound Not laughter, but sobs-deep, long

thrown himself down at his wfes feet, his holding
her in wise. For few moments she let the great
sobs unrebuked, though her whole body
shaken by the stress of his emotion She listened and
understood Presently she fell to srokng his hair with
her small, clawlike hand, hushng him gently:
@There, Dear, you'll make yourself i'll. Be quiet for
my sake. That's it! Oh my brave, brave boy! did it
all that to you2 Have you suffered much
through all these months and given sign? But al

He drew sigh of relief and his hold grew less tense
but he did change his position. She speak

for breath.
@How dear Dick Carnody was! But you might have
known he wouldn't fail you: he has such big heart
I've always liked him. And I'm so glad about his good
luckso-so glad! Van showed me that picture of his

and he said-Van said-it was full of promise. He

we're going change that I'm going to get well,

through the hall, and went swiftly down the stairs

precious thing the memory of what he had
Fairer than any miracle of the springs coming that
miracle of love and trust and happiness that had made

Suddenly his pulses quickened. He had been like

noticed these details. What at
tracted and held his glance was the
woman seated in a deep chair, fac
ing him. None of the little accesso-
ries that wealth provides to soften
and beautify illness were apparent
about her: instead, the ugly make
shifts, the anything-will-do of the
spiritless, the poor, were there in all
their pitifulness. She was dressed
in torn gray wrapper with a
faded shawl which had once been
pink huddled across her shrunken
breast, and her hair layin a tangled
mass on her shoulders. He could
scarcely believe that she was the
same woman he had seen in the
early autumn, she was SO frail
and altered. Fraser, assuredly,
had not been drawing on his i'm

ALL WASHINGTON MoURNs
DEATH OF MRS. WILSON
Washington, Aug. 1o.-The heavy
hand of death today hushed all Off
cial activity for the funeral of Mrs.

joined in the national requiem.
Congress was adjourned, all gov
eminent departments closed and civ
ilians suspended activity during the
services in the East Room of the

No funeral music and no eulogy
marked the ceremony, consisting
only of the Presbyterian ritual
prayers and scripture reading. Rev.
Sylvester w. Beach, Princeton pastor
of the president and his family, and
Rev. ]. H. Taylor, of the presidents
church here, were the officiating cler-
gymen.
Simplicity Just as Mrs. Wilson de-
sired-was the keynote.
The body was taken today from
the West bedchamber, where she
died. In a casket of silver gray it lay
in the East Room, which was filed to
overlooking with flowers.
The White House grounds were
closed to all visitors today, but the
great, high iron fences were lined
with crowds of mourners.
Ritual passages of the services to-
day were drawn mostly from John iv.
and First Corinthians, chapters 15-
35 to So.
The trip to Rome, Ca, for inter
ment of the body beside the parents
of Mrs. Wilson in Myrtle Hill Gene
terry was scheduled at 4:35, with a
special train bearing only members
of the presidential family, DR.. Gray
son and Secretary Tumulty.
At Rome the body will be taken
from the train direct to the ceme-
terry at 2:3O tomorrow and placed in
the family vault with services con-

tion and two more very sick as the
result of poison administered to
them Monday night in the restricted
district. The deaa man is A. w.
Harland of the Twenty-second Co.
of coast artillery stationed at Fort
Barrancas, while the man critically
i'll is T. w. Johnson of the same
command. Ella Rase, white wom-
an, keeper of the resort, is held in
Jail on the charge of murder. The
four men went into the house and
drank what they thought was beer.
1t was an hour or more afterward
while walking along the streets that
two of the men dropped to the side
walk. They were picked up by of
ficers, who thought they had be-
come intoxicated, and they were
sent to Jail. There it was found the
men had been poisoned and one of
them was dying. He died during g
the night. Only a few days ago a
negro woman was found dead in the
home of the Rase woman and the
latter was arrested for giving her
! poison, but was acquitted.

London, Sept. y.-At least three
million men are engaged on both
sides in the battle now on between
the allies and the Germans in
France. All reports up to today in
dicated that the allies are taking
the offensive. The great decisive
battle should be under way from
Paris to Verdun, but the veil of
secrecy and meagerness of official
communications precludes positive
predictions as to the nature of the
operations.
News from Austria asserts that
the dual monarchy is in danger
from internal troubles, while the
military situation is becoming
worse. Roumania and other Balkan
States are said to be growing un-
easy. Roumania desires more ter
ritory and Is said to be ready at any
time to join Servia and Montenegro
who are already fighting Austria.
Reports today indicate that the
Russians again have begun to ad-
vance along the east Prussian from
tier. The Russian vanguard is re-
ported to be sixty miles beyond
Koenigsberg.

DESOTO COUNTY HAS
OVER 100000 CATTLE

Arcadia, Sept. 9.-It ia estimat
ed that there are over 100000 head
of cattle on the ranges in De Soto
county, and those engaged in the
industry believe that it is only in
it's infancy. A little over month
ago a West Virginia company pur-
chased 10000 acres of land, known
as the Indian prairie, situated in
the eastern part of the county, the
consideration being $l,150,000
Their purpose is to raise an i'm
proved breed of cattle on this big
ranch, and after careful investi-
CATION of the matter, they have
vestment will be even greater than
they at first supposed. The Cudahy
people were in the State recently,
and purchased several train-loads of
beef cattle from this county, and
stated that they were desirous or
getting all that could be secured.
and not only the best brands, but
all that could be used for beef. 1t
Is becoming more and more mani
fest by the stock raisers in this sec
tion that this State is destined to
become in the near future one of
the largest stock raising centers OF
our entire country. The State, as
cattle country, is rapidly gaining
wide reputation in all sections OF
the country, and the cattlemen will
get together and devote their ener-
gies to the industry as never be-
fore.
