HER GLOWING EYES

Verne Tyson reused up with start.
He rubbed his eyes, he shook himself
Then he stared across the table where
his club acquaintance, Colonel Reeves
so-called, should have been. No col
onel. Then beyond that at the spot
where last he had seen the volatile,
neyer-to-be-forgotten Madame Hor-
tense vassour. Gone. A discreet wait
er, napkin on arm, approached. His
well trained face expressed a mild
inquiry, strong suggestiyeness of
being of service.
How long have been here1" asked
Verne abruptly
"Three hours, sir"
"Alone?"
Yes, sir"
And the others?" demanded Verne,
with sweep Of his hand.
They joked about your siesta and
seemed to think it sport to give you
the surprise Of waking up alone
So" muttered Verne, and his face
showed that he did not like the sit
uation. He arose, The waiter helped
him to his hat and gloves, bowed his
thanks for careless liberal fee, and
Verne walked from the cafe garden
into the street
'It wasn't the wine--I didn't touch
It," he ruminated. 1T was not ennui
for the colonel and his lady friend

uneasy feeling. She was pretty, witty,
winning in her ways. She was intelli-
gent, too. The conversation had drift
ed towards the occult, hypnotism and
all that during the little rejection.
Then-then-
Il went to sleep" reflected Verne,
and I remember my lady's glowing
eyes the last thing. Brr-rrl 1t is un-
canny Perhaps she tried the art mes
meric on me- I'll go and see Leila
and forget all about it,"
To Leila he was affianced Society
saw an ideal love match in their pros
pective union. The Boyds were
wealthy and Verne was the heir of
his uncle. the richest man in the dis
triet. The wedding had been set for
two weeks ahead
1t was fortunate that Leila had some
other callers that evening, for Verne
felt dull and uncompanionable. He
could not shake off a certain apathetic,
lethargic feeling that oppressed him.
Leila noticed 1t, and when he left she
whispered softly:
I'VE shall be alone tomorrow eve
ning--come early"
But something prevented The fol-
lowing morning Mr.. Tresham, Verne's
uncle, sent his nephew away on busi-
mess mission to a city days journey

weeks, where attention to a tagging
lawsuit would require constant vigil

Verne wrote hurried note to Leila
explaining the situation Mrs. Vas

here for week OF. two. If you are
going to make any kind Of a prolonged
stay, we can find pleasant mutual
quarters down at the Ramblers club. "
Verne thought not any too much Of
Reeves, but time was likely to hang
heavy on his hands, the colonel was
good company and some very pleas
ant days passed.
My cousin, Mrs. VassOur, Is still at
Midvale," announced the colonel one
day. 'By the way, she wrote me that

EVENTS TO BE CONSIDERED
IN SANTA FE

Santa Fe, Dec. IA statute to reg.
ulate boxing, modelled after the Ohio
low, is to be submitted to the legisla-
slure this winter.
The proposed measure is stringent.
Decisions will not be permitted. The
latter provision. the trainers believe,
will prevent gambling, although no
decision regulations have not served
this purpose in other states.
One of the features Of the suggested
bill that is not regarded as hostile tC
the best interests Of the sport, is the
provision for a commission which will
have the power of appointing referees
The names Of the officials are not to
Toe announced until the participants Of
the bout are in the ring. The commits
sion win be supported by tax of
per cent. levied on the gross receipts
of every bout.
The commission, provided its per
sonnel is carefully selected with the
interest Of the sport at heart, might
be factor beneficial to the game and
increase its popularity in the eyes Of
the public.
The commission will issue permits

which has entire charge Of preparing
the plans and executing the work of
river and harbor improvement. From
the we'll known ability of these two
members of President Wilson's cabi-
net it is certain that their addresses
will be both interesting and instruct

The Officers Of the congress have
had one serious disappointment. Colo
mel Goethals had accepted the invita-
tion to speak and fully expected to be
present, but a cablegram has been
received from him saying that at the
last minute conditions have arisen
which make it impossible for him TO
leave at present.
The Mississippi river, gathering as
it does the waters of 81 states, is rec
ognized as national problem, and
this will be the theme of an address
by A. S. Caldwell of Memphis, Tenn.

The critical point in the Panama
canal is the huge dam which holds
back the waters of Gatun lake, and

Alderman Henry P. Bergen, Demo
cratic candidate for reelection to the
city council from the 31st ward, is
just finishing his second term in that
body. BE is one Of its most active
members and not one Of its members
is more interested in the present or
future welfare Of this city and its
advancement and development in every
direction than he is; and in recording
his vote either for or against any pro-
position he always keeps that object
constantly in his mind.
BE was born night in the same dis
trict or neighborhood which he has the
honor Of ably representing in the city
council. Since becoming . member of
the council he has served on many i'm
portant committees; at the present
time he is q member of the committee
on local transportation, local indus
tries, schools, fire, police and civil
service.
Alderman Bergen is successfully en-
gagged in the real estate and banking
business and he is one Of the most
popular city daddies throughout Chi
eago. He is endorsed by the United
Societies for reelection and as he has
3 large heart in him which is full of
kindness for all classes of his fellow
men, regardless Of their race or station
in life, it can therefore be truthfully
stated that his straightforward course
in that respect has raised him high in
the estimation of the Afro-Amerieans
residing in the s1st ward, and many
Of them with their ballots viii on Tues
day, April z, assist to boost him into
the city council for the third time.
