OICK MINoT caught Cynthia Meyrick's


glance as she stood close beside Lord
Harrowby. She seemed another girl to-
night, grave rather than gay, her great
brown eyes apparently looking INTO the fu-
ture. wondering. fearing. As for Harrowby,
he was man transformed. Not for nothing
was he the son of the sporting Earl of Ray
brook-the peer who never failed to take a
risk. The excitement of the game was re-
fected in his tall, tense figure, his flaming
cheeks. This was the Harrowby who had
made Jephson that gambling proposition on
a seventeenth floor in New York.
And Harrowby won consistently,-wo
until q fatal choice of numbers with an over
whelrning stake left him poor again, and he
saw all his winnings swept to swell Tom
Stacy's store. Quickly he wormed his way
out Of the crowd and sought Minot.
MAY | see you moment?' he asked.
@Out here" And he led the way to the
cash. Harrowby whispered excitedly, Il
could break Stacy tonight. And I'm going
to get it. Will you give me the necklace,
please?'
sYou forget Minot objected, @that the
necklace is supposed to have been stolen
@No, no! That's no matter. I'll arrange
that. Hurry
sYou forget too that you told me this
morning that should this necklace be found
now
sMr. Minot, the necklace belongs to me.
Will you kindly let me have it?'
Certainly said Minot coldly. And,
very much annoyed, he returned to the room
amid the buzz and the thrill of gambling.
Harrowby ran quickly down the stairs.
In the office of the Manhattan Club he found
Tom Stacy in amiable converse with Martin
Wall. He threw Chain Lightning's collar
on the managers desk.
eHow much can you loan me on that?"
he demanded.
With grunt of surprise Stacy took up the
famous collar in his thick fingers. He gazed
at it for a moment; then he looked up, and
caught Martin Walls crafty eye over Har-
rowby's shoulder.
"Not cent said Stacy firmly.

queer smile.
Lord Harrowby returned the necklace to
his pocket, and, crestfallen, gloomy, went
back to the room above.

whispered to Minot. II don't understand,

Thereafter Harrowby suffered the pain of
watching others play.
AND while he watched, in the little office
- downstairs scene Of vital bearing on
his future was enacted.
A short, stoclsy man with bu1let-shaped
head had pushed open the door on Stacy
and Wall. He stood, looking about him
with cynical smile. 3Hello, Toni he

SPANISH PREIENDR
 UNDER CLOSE GUARD

Paris. Dec. s-The Eclafr declares in it's issue today that Don Jaime, of Bourbon, the Spanish pretender. ad-s dressed an appeal to his partisans some time ago to side with France in the war This came to the knowl- edge of the Austrian authorities and as Don Jaime lives in Austria he was placed under close arrest in his cas- tie at F.rohsdorf The Immediate ex- cilse for this action was the fact that Don Jaime had been a colonel in the Russian army.
 An appeal was made to Emperor Francis Joseph but His Majesty said. he could do nothing in the matter. Don Jaime persisted in his efforts to gain his freedom and he was told finally that he could either remain a prisoner in Austria until the end of the war or leave the country. He chose the latter course and is now in Switzerland-

BULL MOOSE SAY
 THEY WILL STICK
National Convention Pledges Maintainance of Separate
 Organization

Chicago. Dec. s-Nfnety-one Pro- gressives from thirty-four states, in a conference session of the executive committee of the party yesterday, ex- pressed their confidence in the Pro gresstve party principles and their de- termination to continue the party in action.
 A statement was issued by the ex- ecutive committee, through it's chair man, George W. Perkins of New York, declaring that the Progressive organ ization should continue, and that the national committee Of the party should be asked to fix the time and place for holding the national conveu- tion Of the party in 1918.
 Three sessions of the conference were held in the rooms of the Chicago Pro- gressiye club and the statement Of Miss Jane, Atldanns, member of the executive committee, that she was now more enthusiastic than ever in the cause Of the Progressive party was app1auded vociferously.
 Not speaker made any suggestion Of abandoning the party and the sub ject Of amalgaInation with either Of the older parties was not brought up.
 The product of rurhor factory.s z was the characterization given by Chairman Perkins to reports Of possi- ble disintegration or anal lEanation
 A statement issued after the meet ing said
 sTt was the unanimous Judgment Of the executive committee that the pro- gressive organization and campaign of education should be continued on the lines heretofore followed.
 To that end the committee provid< ed that the Progressive national conn mittee shall be called to meet not later than January 15, 1916, to fix the time and place for holding the national con- vention of the Progressive party and to transact such other business as may at that time come before it in- etdentaI to the Presidential election Of 1916
 The industrial depression and the consequent reaction against the Demo- cratic tariff was undoubtedly the issue which primarily determined the reac- tfonary results Of the recent election. cratic parties have passed tarifEs by the old method of 1og-ro1ling, and the people have now succkssfve1y repu- diated them both.
 'sSo long as the tarAff Is made irs politics and log-ro1ling there can be no stability Of industrial conditions, business can have no peace. The way to provide stable industrial conditions and business peace Is to accept the principles of protection as nxed na- tionai policy and to take the tarin out of politics.
 prompt action on the Adurduck Tariff Commission bill, intreduced in May. 1913.
 Progressive principles are pexnaM- nent, and it Is now more than ever evident that the Progressive party to. day is the necessary organ for their realizatfon. z
 E The question Of moving the party headquarters from New York was zaos dealt with by the executive committee, though in the conference Clifford, Fin- chot suggested that 8 more westerly location would bring the party laead- quarters nearer to the great body of Progressive party voters.

GEN. OTTER, CANADIAN l MILITARY HERO OF
 BoER WAR; IS z1 TODAY.

Major General Sir William Dillon Otter, one of Canada's foremost nili- tarx officers and long the chief Of the Canadian general staff, was born near Clinton. Ont. seventy-on years ago today. He worked his way up from the ranks, beginning his career as private in the Queens Own Rifles of Toronto. He was educated at Upper Canada College in Toronto, and in his youth was noted as an ath- Iete,. being especially proficient in the Canadian national game of lacrosse. He first saw active service. as a lieu tenant during the Fenian raids of 1866 and 1870, and commanded the Queens Own at Lime Ridge. When RieI raised the standard of revolt in western Canada in 1885, Iieut.-CoI Otter was placed in charge of the col umr for the relief of BattIeford, which was menaced by a band of In- dfans under Chief Poundmaker. The Canadians were defeated in the first clash with Poundnaker's braves, but later redeemed themselves and crush ed the rebellion in short order. When Canada decided to send a, contingent to aid the British in South Africa, Lieut. Col. Otter was placed in com mand of the gallant role in the war against the Boers. and took part in the bloody battles around Paardeberg and in the capture of CronJe- Otter was wounded at Israel's Port in April, 1900, but soon recovered and returned to the field. After the close of the war he returned to Canada, and, as chief of staff, inspector general and adviser to the, minister of militia, was largely instrumental in bringing the Dominion militia to it's present high state of efficiency. For his services to the empire he was knighted and in- vested with the Order of the Bath by King George. He is one of a very few colonial officers who have achiev- ed the coveted distinction of the Or der of the Bath. Gen. Otter married Marian Porter, the daughter of a To ronto clergyman, nearly half a cen tury ago. Lady Otter died suddenly of heart disease last month Gen. Ot- ter is the author of a guide for Ca nadian infantry and other military works.

Many Nebraska Towns
Also Have This Problem

The following clipping from
the last bulletin of the Kansas
Retailers Association tells of a
problem of several towns of
that state and a solution that
may be a good suggestion for
some Nebraska towns that are
wondering how they are to get
the unsanitary and unsightly
teams from the main streets of
town and at the same time not
interfere with the convenience
and the privileges of their
farmer patrons:
Emporia and Winfield have
taken up the problem of fur
nishing a place for country peo-
pie to tie their teams while
trading The best solution to
it we have seen is at Yelling
ton, where through the efforts
of the Retailers Association
the city erected racks upon
some of the city's lots, close in.

Why not for Missouri Valley?
