CHAPTER x1v-tContinued).


Rutherford seized the telephone ana
called Miss Ballantyne up-but the oper-
ator gave him the wrong number. He
tried again. and was Informed sweetly
that the line was busy. He went into
the other room. that of the setting-up eX-
ercise, and swung n pair of Indian clubs
vigorously while he counted one hundred.
Then he came back and tried the tele-
phone again, but could get no response
from the other end of the line, although
the operator assured him he had the right
number. In desperation he called Cooley.
Mike, can you find yourself around
this town without n gude?" he asked
savagely.
"I'll thry. sor." said that oldest in
habitant with n grin
Then here. and be quick about ii!
Take this note for me to the address
marked, on West 10th street. If the
young lady is at home-thc same one who
was here with her father n few evenings
ago-ask to see her personally, and then
request her to call me up, when no other
person is present. Get me? If she isn't
there. leave this note"
And Craig hastily scrbbled few lines
to Miss Ballantyne.
Mike returned inside the hour, report
ing that the young lady wasn't at home.
but her maid would give her the message
just as soon as she returned
THE verbal message or the note?"
queried Craig sharply.
"The note, sor'
Rutherford remained in all morning,
chatting at the delay, but It was not until
after II o'clock that the sharp tinSle of
the telephone bell brought him to instant
attention.
"Niss Ballantyne?" he asked, while his
heart pounded.

CHILDREN'S CORNER
Pete Makes an Acquaintance

DETE was gaily singing his regular
i morning song, when he heard a
strange sound, the like of which he had
never heard before. Now what in the
world can that be?" he asked. but no.
body noticed or answered so he went on
singing.
But again his song was interrupted with
the strange sound and he stopped to lis
ten
"Clank. Clankw croaked the new
conner, "Plsh-sh-sh! Clank!"
Now isn't that funny way to talk"
exclaimed Pete. He might at least tell
me who he is, How am to know? Well,
I'll ask again."
So in his politest and sweetest voice he
called, Meet! Meet! Meet me! Who
are you? Won't you please meet-meet-
meet me?"
At first there was no answer, then the
newcomer replied, Bother! No! Clank.
CIankl Why-clank-should I-clank-
bother about you? Clankity. clankity,
clank-clank"
Dear me. but he is dreadfully clanky
disagreeable person" exclaimed Pete,
pleasantly. III don't know as l care to
know him after all. guess I'll just leave
him alone"
so he went on with his morning song
and thought no more about the rude new
conner.
But the newcomer, whoever he was, de-
termined not to be treated that way-he
meant to be heard. SO he set up a clamor
all his own. He clanked and he grumbled;
he phished and he sputtered till Pete had
10 stop and rest a minute.
He pulled off the end OF his song with a
Jerk and gobbled up bit OF seed by way
of comfort. That's hard work singing
against such a strong person as that!"
l.. ali
must be a great big blrd-he makes such
big noise. wish 1 could see HIM"
But though he craned his neck and
called and coaxed, not a sight or an an
swer did no get from the clanky new
conner.
So he decided to eat his breakfast.
Maybe by the time / am through eat
ing" he said to himself. that new bird
win be hungry and want to eat. Then |
can sing my song in peace"

EVERY COMFORT FOR
TOURISTS TO PACIFIC
Best Accommodations Possible
Are Being Arranged for so
Successful Contestants.

Every comfort that has been invented
for modern travel will be provided for the
30 tourists who will be sent to the Pana-
ma-Pacific and Panama-C California Expo
sitlons by the EVENING LEDGER and PUB-
Lie LEDGER next July. The tourists Will
be the so men and women who stand
highest at the conclusion Of the great cir
culation contest now in full swing.
More than three months still remain of
this contest. Although many of those
who have been In II from the start have
been wasting no time or energy. and as
result have succeeded in amassing large
totals of credits, there is still opportunity
for an ambitious man or woman to get
into the contest and by hard work and
industry, win one of the great free trips
to the coast.
or course, to do this now, when others
have attained such lead, will require
unfailing energy and systematic work,
but there Is no doubt that 1t can be done
BY studying both papers the contestant
will find that each abounds with features
designed to interest every member of the
family. II he or she will use these fea-
lures in explaining tho value of both
newspapers to prospective subscribers it
should not be difficult to get numerous
subscriptions.
Also, contestants who feel that they
have not chance to win one of the
free trips to the coast should bear in
mind the fact that In this contest there
is ono unusual and valuable feature, and
this is that all participating in it will be
paid If they do not win a trip. The full
newsdealer's commission will be paid TO
all outside the fortunate 30. This money
should come in handy at vacation time
and is worth working for in leisure hours.
Send In your name to the contest editor,
second floor of the PUBLIC LEDGER build
ing. on the blank DrOVided for that mr.
pose in the advertisement. He will see
that you are provided with all necessary
information and hints as to how to obtain
suhscriptions.

He ate and drank and then made ready
to sing.
Now all this time the clanky person
clanked and snuttered and made an awful
racket and, of course, Pete thought and
puzzled as to who in the world he might
be. But he couldn't guess, nor could he
see any one.

one tinal look around and began his song
He poured forth such a loud and lovely
song that the room rang with the sound
and right at that very minute the clanIzv

sounded like grand opera fastened to a

BELMONT PARK TURF NOTES.

The policy OF breeding 20 well ertao-
llshed lines has been successful In the
case OF Fairy Gold. the dam OF Friar
August belmont yesterday. Fairy Gold Is
a laughter of the English Derby winner
Ben dOr, and In addition to the promising
two-year.old has produced Fair Play ana
Golden View.
Frlar Rock Is not particularly we'll en-
gagged in stakes and that IL one reason
why Trainer Tom Healey lodged the issue
with Ormesdale In the fret race. The
clockers gave the Belmont colt an edge
on Ormcsdale. which has many important
stakes In view. and the general impression
was that Healoy did not care TO risk de-
feat by a youngster that was not con-
siiered Of stake class,
limited further when the starter left r.
7. Wilson Jr's Hrairle at the post. This
made II practically a three horse afsir,
The poorest card Of the meeting brought
out the smallest crowd and there Is little
prospect OF better sport to-day. Unless
The Western rule OF preventing scratching
without good reason IL put In force there
Is likely To he a general howl on the part
Of the public which pays the freight.
Gun Cotton WAS the only good thing
and yet. strange TO say, the owner did not
participate In the killing, All the Jump
Ing jockeys were aware OF tina excellent
chance possessed by the mare and they
were down to a man.
Henry Rites OF Baltimore was a visitor
at the track.
A new track record was established
when II, e. Hailenbeck's good mare House
maid shattered the long standing ak
negotiating that distance in l:ll 80. The
old mark of l:ll as was first established
In 1905 by D., C., Johnson's Roseben, and It
Was later eGusiied by II. + whitney's

ABERG FINDS ROLLER
TOUGH PROPOSITION
American Keeps on Defensive
From Start and Never
Is In Danger.

Alexander Aberg. who had been win
ming most OF his matches with ridiculous
ease IN the International wrestling tour
nament at tho Manhattan Opera House,
met a different sort of proposition last
night when he tackled DR.. b. F. Roller
Of Seattle. The American was a tough
customer for the gigantic foreigner and
held his own all the way. He kept on
the defensive from the start and never
was In danger of being thrown. In fact
the men were on tho mat only three or
four times during tho entire twenty
minutes. and then Roller would break
loose and get on his feet again. There
was no way OF telling whether or not
the American could have downed his
antagonist. for not once did he essay TO
gain a fall.
Georg Zurich, the clever Russian. also
had his hands full. A man mountain
named Pierre Le Colosse. hailinS from
that dear France. had too much brute
strength for the Russ 10 work his tricks
as Is his wont. The result was another
twenty minute draw. Karl Posp!s!l threw
Gustav Koltermann easily, but Will
helm Berner and Suio Hevonpaa were
extended past the fourteen minute mark
by Eduard Delivuk and Gorgius Sandele
respectively. Sandele M Hevonpaa
had a sanguinary bout that resembled
a free for all rough n tumble as much
as wrestling.
Wladek Zbyszko was extended by the
much smaller Renato Gardini, who made
him tug IS minutes 20 seconds to gain
n fall.

LONDON. June with the coming
and passing to-day OF a Derhyl.,,
Derby Day the serious situation OF ,hs
British nation has been brought mora
! closely to the attention of the British
public n especially to the citizens o,
the English capital. For years and
years the first Wednesday in June hs,
been tho gala sporting day in England,
for II brought with II the Derby. A,
EPSON. London's big racing classic. IN.
even. was the most popular sporting
fixture for the year and was witnessed
by King Edward every year from lsS3
to 1908 with the exception of tlmss
that he was kept away by mourning.
Not only persons Interested in racing
because II vas their means OF livAi.
hood but large numbers OF others Are
not in accord with the Government for
having abandoned all race meets excep,
those at Newmarket. They feel that Ire
closing down Of racing Is not only IN.
furious to horse breeding but also will
be held by England's enemies as a sim
of weakness. especially az the racing
Is going on as usual in Germany.
Efforts have been made to get N.
Jockey Club to bring about a more
favorable condition of affairs, md toward
this end the Jockey Club held a meeting
yesterday afternoon at Derby House 10
consider tho situation. Among those
at the executive session were Lords
Derby, Lonsdale and Durham. and some
announcement of their decision va
looked for to-day. 1t Is said unofficially
that tho stewards of the club decided
to maintain the present embargo. There
has been some hope OF having tho Derby,
which had been run without a break
since 1880 annually, transferred with the
Oaks and Home Ascot races to New.
market. but what the Jockey Club Will
do In regard to this Is s,!ll a matter Of
conjecture.
Resolutions were adopted last nigh.
at a meeting OF protest called by the
National Sporting League and held In
n Holborn deprecating the
Governments prohibition and urging a
reconsideration. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Horatio W. Bottomlsy,
n we'll known owner of r7cehor.ss
Speakers denounced the Jockey Club
! for yielding to tho GovernYent's d.
mands and pointed out that racing Is
going on still in Germany and Russia
and that France and Belgium havs
given special permission for their horses
10 run in the British races.
