! q =
For upwards OF threequarters of an
hour OF that goldenmorning which fol-
lowed the night othis return TO New
York, ME- Law was permitted TO es-
TEEN himself ,sSne llappIest OF ulortals.
and inasmuch as this is, not only, a
longer uninterrupted; term of happi-
ness than is humanIy common but is
more OF that emotion than ordinarily
leavens the wholeot lifetime. Alan
was perhaps to be cnyied, even though
disillusionment whenft came was sud
den, sharp, and to him unspeakahly
shocking-a swift, ,unpresaged plunge
from suniit peaks Of supreme content
TO the black depths OF bleak Aver
nus of despair.
Tbe beginning Of the period was
synchroncus with The slam OF q taxi
cab door that shut away u superauous
world from the company of two who
loved. i, l,a4 80,
The sound spelled safety as we'll as
success in Alan's understanding.
The car slipped smoothly away from
the curb. pursued only by a little gust
OF semt-ironic, cheers from the little
company Of working men who had wit
messed as well US measurably partici-
pated in the putatIye elopeInent from
the house of Urine.
Vigtlant for any indication that their
evasion had had witness in that
strange home OF deathless hatred
Alan watched it through the little
window in the back Of the cab until a
corner b!otted out The vision OF it;
then with u sigh OF relief sank down
by The side OF the woman to whom his
every thought, impulse and emotion
we're dedicated.
"Rose!" he whispered, and tenta'
lively touched one Of the hands that
lay clenchcd in her lap.
She responded with never sign to
indicate consciousness either OF his
touch or his whisper.
And reminding himself of the strain
imposed upon her by the experience
through which they had Just passed,
Alan excused her Responsiveness on
grounds of reaction, aud for the time
felt constrained to let his sweetheart
rest and regain her normal poise:
there was bliss enough for him in the
consciousness that he had won her
safely away, that nothing now more
than short hours drive across town
and by ferry across the Hudson stood
between them and tie marriage that
should prove the contamination Of all
their trials barring accident!
Alan had too often suffered the pen
atty of disappointment for over-indul
gence in this failing Of his for depreci
uting the unforeseen, not to make the
mental reservation, Barring acct
dentsn' with little SILVER of dread.
Had any of Trine's household been
cognizant Of his daughters escape,
Alan argued, interference must have
been instant.
Despite the reassuring aspect, the
preoccupation of Ills companion SO
wore upon him that lie was presently
no longer able to refrain from disturb
ing her.
"Rosc!" he begged again, closing q
hand tenderly over hers. Dearest
girl, don't worry another instant! Dc
calm yourself: remember we are safe

Cedar Falls Professors May Give
Instructions Here - An extension
course conducted by the State Teach
ers' college at Cedar Falls may be in
stituted in Scott county during the
coming year. J. b. KnoepfleT. profess
sor OF French and German at the state
normal school, and now visiting the
various counties in the interests OF the
extension course, spent Friday after
noon comforting with County Superin-
tendent Ronge, and as result the adop-
ton OF the course is looked upon with
favor. AS carried out last year. teach
ers from the faculty OF the Cedar Falls
institution conducted classes in var
ious county seats on Saturdays
throughout the entire period that
schools were in session, instructing
the grade and even high school,
teachers I'm various lines, such as
civics, history, physical geography and
pedagogy. In some cases there was
only one subject taught, the professor
OF history, for instance, teaching three
hours each Saturday. In other places
where more subjects were desired
the instructors sometimes alternated,
lengthening the time of finishing a
prescribed course of study. but in
some respects giving the teachers a
better opportunity. When the subject
studied has been carried to completion
or as far as the same course is carried
at the state normal school, credit equal
to that given at the Cedar Falls insti-
tuition will have been earned. For
those who want additional educational
training, but have neither time nor the
money to spend years in colleges, the
extension course appears as a great
boon. Wherever it was tried last year

China WILL SEND
Us 100 STUDENTS
Ministers Of Education An
nounces Government Policy
for College Graduates.

Picking, Aug. 24.-Over a hundred
Chinese students. among them IL
girl graduates of the Tsing-hua col
llege. will sail for America in few
DAYS to take up post graduate Work
in the United States. The number
includes the graduates of the classes
of 1913 and 1914, and IL of the class
OF 1911, who temporarily abandoned
their plans for foreign study at that
time owing TO the revolution. Their
work in America viii be under the
direction of Dr. Y. T. Tsur, M. A.,
principal of Tsing-hua college.
Instructions have been sent to gov
ernors of the various provinces by
the minister of education, Hon. Tang
Hualung, TO encourage the educational
features of the national policy by all
means. The government has no in
tention of reducing educational ex-
penditure but the minister asks that
the strictest economy be employed
in disbursing the fund set aside for
educational purposes. He also states
that the government has no intention
of calling back the students studying
abroad but that the rules and regula-
tions governing the sending of stu
dents to foreign countries must be
rigidly enforced.
At the graduating exercises of
Tsing-hua college, held recently,
number of notable guests were receiv-
ed and entertained by the college
authorities. among them Hon. Sun
Pao-chi. minister of foreign affairs,
Tang Hua-lung, minister of education,
DR.. Frank ]. Goodnow, adviser on con-
stitutional law to the government, and
John a. MacMurray, first secretary of
the American legation. The COM
menncement address was delivered by
Mr.. MacMurray.
Hon. Chow Tzu-chi, minister of fl
nance, was unable to be present and
his address, written for the occasion,
was read by G. T. Chao, vice principal
of the college. The minister of finance
called attention to the fact that Using
hua college remained in name and in
continuity of policy the same notwith-
standing the many changes that had
taken place in China during the past
three years, and that its power for
good continued and would grow as the
influence and the number of its gradu-
ates increased and aided in the intel
lectual and moral advancement of the
times.

ed commander OF the Zieten; in 1881
commander of the Butcher, and in
1885, commander of the Blitz, as
chief of the fiotilla. He was made
rear admiral in 1895. In 1896 he be
came chief Of the squadron in East
Asio. and in 1898, secretary of state
to the admiralty.
There is no naval expert in the
world who would not have to &C
knowledge that Admiral Won Tirpitz
is probably the most illustrious min
lister of marine now alive. He is the
real creator of the German fleet. His
knowledge of the sea has been gained
at sea and under circumstances
which have convinced him of the
necessity TO the fatherland to pos
sess such a feet as she now has.
He makes a magnificent appear

tune, and replying to any questions
without memoranda of any kind. 1t
is said that he can give the name of
every battleship in the world, give
its tonnage. the date of its construc-
ton and displacement and the de-
tails of its armament; and that his
intimate knowledge of every ship
building yard on the face of the
earth is no less phenomenal.

The election of a foreign pope, pos
sibly an American, as successor to
Pope Plus Y, during the conclave to
be held soon in Rome, is a no uncer-
tain possibility. For the first time in
history the sacred college is directly
representative of the entire Catholic
world. The unsettled conditions due
to the war may prevent sufficient
number of foreign cardinals from
reaching Rome in time to bring about
the election of foreign pope. In the
event that either Cardinals Ferrata
or Maffi are not chosen, the chances
are very good that one of the Ameri-
can cardinals, who are Gibbons. O'Con-
nell and Farley, may be elected.
Cardinal Gibbons was born in Bal
timore in 1S43, and received his edu-
cation in Ireland. He returned to the
United States in 1S4S, and in 1855 en-
tered ST. Charles college, Maryland.
Two years later he was transferred to
St Marys seminary, Baltimore. He
was ordained Roman Ca>solic priest
in 1861 and for few months was an
