STORM AND STRESS
BY MRS. M. L. RAYNE,

A steamer crossing one Of the great
lakes In a night of sudden tempest was
thrown helpless and at the mercy of
wind and wave into the trough Of the

machinery. The panic.stricken pas.
sengers crowded the deck and irapeded
the action Of the q They screamed
and scbbed and prayed. One man
who stood apart from the others
prayed silently sith a hopeless agony
In his face. A friend with him
touched him on the shoulder.

tho %cowardice of the occasion) "at
least let vi die-if die we must-like
men,"
1T Is not for myself I fear, Walter,
but for Miriam; she is so sensitive,
so loyal to those she loves; it would

wedding. She could nevsr outlive
such q tragedy"

will leave none to mourn their loss?"
his friend. Walter Dickson, responded.
Theirs are not parallel cases. Mi.
Ram will be a widow, yet no wife. 1t
will be a cruel disappointment of her
plans for our happy lives. Walter, If
you alone are saved tell her that she
must learn to forget me. Her sweet
young life must not be darkened by
unhappy memories. Promise me-"
Something like a sheer distorted
Walter Dickson's face; he said with
bitter emphasis:

as a mole. With eternity in vie v l
must tell you the truth. Come below
with me. II we are to die in this

On the same night on which the
steamer with her precious human
freight, was tempest-tossed in the
midnight blackness of the tempestuous
lake, q young woman was walking the
moor OF her room, w%ringing her hands
IN 1mpotent anguish as she listened to
the storm without. At last the strain
became unbearable, and she rushed
from her own room and sought that
OF an older sister.
The older sister sat up and scanned
the white face bending above her.

Many Men.

Chester, Pa.-Within two months
this city expects to have a boom as
spectacular as those which trans.
formed frontier hamlets into cities
during the gold rush to the West.
This condition became evident when
at a meeting Of real estate brokers,
f%inanciers and builders representatives
Of the Remington Arms company and
the Baldwin Locomotive works ap.
peared and stated that by November
the former would employ $1,000 men
here and the latter 5000. Big orders
for arms and ammunition from the
countries at war In Europe are pri.
marily responsible for the prosperity.

WHITE BLOSSOM
BY NEVA WlNiFRED TISDELL.

Madge was half way across the pas.
ture when the herd. reposing in the
shade Of the sheds, were aroused by
their leader, who had caught sight Of
the dainty but color-larlng red sweat
er that Nadge wore. In an instant the
drove was in a stampede. Madge dis
cerned her danger. She was light
footed, but with an apprehensive
glance behind her she saw that long
before she reached the fence the mad.
dened animals would have overtaken
her.
"Help!" she screamed in urgent ter.
ror, as she made out a figure lining
the fence neal the gate.
1t was Doctor Drury. Agile, alarmed
at the deadly peril of the d%efenseless
girl, he had vaulted the fence in an
instant. He was at her side, picking
up a stray long handled shovel that
lay In his path as he ran.
For the gate-do not delay a mo.
ment!" he gasped breathlessly.
She obeyed him, he was glad Of
that. Now he nerved for the newt.

safety-the rest did not matter to him.

NATIONAL CAPITOL
CLOSELY GUARDED
OFFICIALS in CHARGE OF BUILD
ING AND GROUNDS EVER ON
THE ALERT.
POLICE FORCES ARE
BEING REDou1LED
Unusual Precautions Being Taken to
Guard Against Possibility Of Bomb
Attack or Other Crime During Ses-
sion Of congress-Experienes Of Some
Months Ago Causes Uneasiness.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Dec. s.-Three men al
the capitol are on the anxious sea'
these days. They are Col Charles r
Higgins, sergeant at-arms of the SEN
ate; Robert P. Gordon, sergeant-at-
arms of the house; and Elliott Woods
superintendent of the capitol building
and grounds.
On these three officials falls the duty
Of preventing the capitol from being
blown up by bombs or other explosive
enginery or from being harmed In any
way by the cranks and other disturbers
of the peace whose visitations are
feared.
Unusual precautions are being taken
this year to prevent the capitol from
being molested by use of bombs or
otherwise. Ordinarily, one would never
dream there was possibility OF some
one planting a bomb about the capitol
and blowing up the senate or house
and making fragments of a large con-
tingent OF statesmen. Such a thing
used to be thought OF as fancifui. Bug
since the explosion in the senate end OF
the capitol some weeks ago and IN
view of the evidences of bomb plots
and other activities by those who are
obsessed with wrath against the ma
tion's foreign policy, 1t Is recognized
care and watchfulness are needed.
Police Force 10 Increased.
The result is that the capitol these
days is not guarded in the careless and
easy-going ways that used to obtain.
The force of police has been increased
and scattered about the building, as
well as the senate and house Office
buildings and the subways, are numer-
Gus plain clothes men. Special officers
In citizens clothing who are not easily
told from ordinary civilians are wan
dering about everywhere. keeping a
close eye on the doings Of all strang :
ers.
Not only this but a number OF the
entrances TO the capitol which formerly
were open at all hours Of the day are
now watched and restricted.
Colonel Higgins, Mr.. Gordon and Mr.
Woods are working in cooperation on
the task Of preventing anything hap
pening to the capitol and the officials
therein. Colonel Higgins has the re-
sponsibilty for the senate half OF the
capitol and Mr.. Gordon for the house
half. Mr.. Woods responsibility extends
to the whole building and the Office
buildings as well as the grounds.
Guarded Day and Night.
The capitol and government property
are being guarded not only by day,
wnen the crowds are about. but at
night also. 1t is not SO easy as It was
was for providers to get into the capitol
in the evening and remain about thru
the night.
One of the first pieces of business
before house and senate will be an ur-
gent deficiency appropriation to be
used for the employment of additional
guards and police for the capitol and
the buildings and grounds connected
with it.

Letting the Pigs Go.

Chicago, Milwaukee, South St. Paul
and other primary points adjacent to
the frosted corn belt have been deluged
with pigs. In two months Chicago has
delivered half million of them weigh
ing anywhere from 80 to i29 pounds
and the big movement is badly under
way They have been selling over a
bargain connter at 5.00@5.50 per cwt
and were treated into the cheapest
meat possible. Toronto packers have
bought them by the hundred thousand
at Chicago, slaughtering them and
sending the frozen carcasses in bond
to England. The understanding Is that
this meat goes to the trenches In
northern France in large quantities to
feed the troops.
Probably the largest pig crop in the
history of the country has been raised
and good porcine health has swelled
the prospective winter run. A sick hog
is a novelty at the stock yards, but
old timers recall the fact that such q
condition frequently heralds cholero
scourge Mixed hogs at 6.00@6.25 per
cwt are cutting up to yield handsome
profits. The result will be material

several years the country has been

DEMOCRATS PICK ST. LOUIS.
National Convention TO Be Held Be
ainninq June IA.

Washington, Dec s.-The demo-
cratic national convention OF 1916 Will
be held at st. Louis beginning Wednes-
day, June IA, at noon. The democratic
national committee last night named
the convention city and adopted reso-
lutions calling for the denomination
and re election of Woodrow Wilson as
'sthe trusted leader Of national democ-
racy."
Chicago and Dallas contested with
st Louis for the honor of the con-
vention, but St Louis easily led from
the start and won on the second ball
lot. When the trend Of the voting
was seen Texas moved that the choice
of st. Louis be made unanimous. Dali
las held second place on the first ball
lot, but was displaced by Chicago or
the second roll call.
It has been customary heretofore
for national conventions to begin
work on Tuesday. The fact that
Tuesday fell on the thirteenth next
year may or may not have had some
thing to do with the determination OF
the committee to begin the proceeds
ings a day later. The official explana-
ton, however. was to the effect that
the convention would not require more
than three or four days to complete its
work and It would not be too late in
the week to start on Wednesday.
