, Then he sat down in the shade Of
a huge bush to wait. Presently he
heard Nina coming, but he noticed
the slipknot was not placed in the
right position.
4 will step across the ground and
fix that before Nina gets here" said
Grumbo. He is poor, weak fellow
and moves slowly, SO / will have
plenty of time" ....
Out he went and began to arrange
the rope, but before he had finished
he heard the crashing of brushes near
at hand and saw Nina almost upon
him. Hoping to slip away unnoticed
Grumbo jumped around and started
out in the opposite direction, but he
made a mistake and stumbled. AS
he tripped his left leg caught in the
slipknot and he was himself held fast.
Plunging and believing, he fought
to get away, but the rope held tight
Nina heard the sound of the conflict
and fled, for, being a peaceful fellow,
he thought Grumbo in battle with
another elephant and did not wish to
see the struggle.
"Grumbo is such bully" Nina said
to himself as he trotted awkardly
through the jungle, that | will not
interfere" Then, as the cries grew
faint, his kind heart made him turn
back
Now it seems that Grumbo, as he
plunged about and strained all his
strength, and as he pulled, and pulled
and pulled he felt himself grow
smaller, for he was pulling himself
down to nothing. The rope was caught
around his right toe, and there was no
way for him to get at the moose or
away unless he got small enough to
slip through tht knot He felt that
the more he fought and beloved and
rampaged around the smaller he got
But he also realized that by getting
small the way was open to freedom
Il hate to grow little he moaned,
as he heaved himself about. But
that is better than dying here of
starvation. This is nay punishment,
and deserve it, So he kept on roar
ing and believing and bursting around
and growing smaller and smaller and
smaller, till at last just as Nina came
back and peeped through the leaves
the great Grumbo was just the size
of a tiny mouse. Nina saw him slip
through the knot, and though the
weaker brother was still big ele-
plant, his horror of the wicked Grum-
BIO was SO strong that he trembled at
sight. and ever since then an ele-
plant will shiver when he sees a
mouse
Tomorrow's story - milky and
Trixy."

three or four minutes, but somehow
there were many things he had said
that she would like to think over.
But this was not the time nor the

an elderly millionaire to be found at
midnight beside the open library safe,

Mr.. Quentin Quinby, the eminent

when retained by the lawyer of the

For the purpose he first consulted

 States Attorney Dady at Waukegan said tonight:
 We. had to charge Orpet with mur- der because it was the only way we could hold him. He is the man who was with the girl but there are other things to be cleared up We haven't found where the poison came from and we have not fathomed why Orpet was so careful to frame an alibi.'

 WAUKEGAN, H., Feb 12.-Admis sions said to have been made this af- ternoon by Will II. Orpet to Ralph J Dady, states attorney of Lake county with reference to the tragic death of 1S-year-old Marion Frances Lambert, Orpet's sweetheart, gave a sinister tinge to the case.
 Orpet, a student at the University of Wisconsin, is said by MT Dady to have admitted that his relations with the girl had been improper; that they were in great fear of consequences, and that before he left Madison to visit her secretly he prepared an alibi The young mans admissions were brought about. it is said by recovery of letter which Miss Lambert received from him last Tuesday, the day before her disappearance.
 Orpet was charged with murder and sent to jail
 A confusing feature of the investiga - tion was that the autopsy was said to have revealed nothing to reflect on the character of the girl. Orpct's alibi according to Mir. Dady, was to have been based on a postmark at Madison at the time he was really at Lake Forest. the girls home. He is said to have written the letter. ad- dressed it to Miss Lambert, and. left it with a friend with instructions to mail 1t at 1 p. m. last Wednesday.

 FRIEND PASSES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

ARLINGTON, Mass, Feb. 12.-John Townsend Trowbridge, poet and au thor of stories for boys and girls, died tonight. Death was caused by bron- chitis, which developed from a severe cold contracted a few weeks ago.
 John Townsend Trowbridge was one of the last survivors of the group of authors who made Boston a famous literary center in the first three dec ades of the last half of the nineteenth century. Although his chief success came from the writing of books for boys, he also published several novels and volumes of poetry.
 His first book, Father Bright hopes" was published in 1853, and his first genuine success was "Neighbor lockwood" a novel of New England life, which appeared in 1855. For some time he edited Our Young Folks, ' which numbered among it's contributors Dickens, Whittier, Mayne Reid, Mrs. Stowe and Miss Alcott
 Perhaps the best known of MT. Trow- bridges verse is the humorous poem, Darius Green and His Flying Ma chine" written in 1870. When, forty years later, he first saw an aeroplane in action, he remarked:
 q never dreamed when I wrote that poem that such thing as a flying ma chine was even a possibility in my lifetime"
 Among his books for boys and the most popular were "Cudjo's Cave" and "The Three Scouts"

 Prospects of warning to American citizens to remain off vessels that are armed loomed up large. today. One high official expressed the be- lief that congress would be called upon to take some action leading to that end.
 Officials of the state department also are considering what effect it's determination as to policy will have upon American naval policy and op- erations in the event this govern ment was engaged in war. The ques- tion has been discussed with naval officials and probably will have an important bearing upon the final de- cision,

Chancellor Iikened to Rismark

Chancellor lIkened to BIsmark l BERLIN, Feb. 12. (Via London, Feb 1 13)-The Lusitania case has evoked an | instance which shows that the present imperial chancellor is as vigorous in | defense of his prerogatives as was Bis mark. The publication of a resolution l this morning asking the president of the diet to inform the chancellor that l the committee considered any limita- l ton of the submarine campaign in the interests of relations with America as harmful to the country's interests brought forth the sharp rejoinder from Dr. von Bethmann- -Hollweg that the committee was interfering with af- fairs which did not concern it. The Norddeutsche Allgemaine Zeit- ung heads a column this afternoon with sharp declaration meant for the critics of the chancellor's policy.
 Tt is comprehensive" the paper says, that the committee feels the need at so grave an epoch to discuss confidentially in it's midst questions of war and foreign policy affecting all
 
 decided upon against the express pro- test by representative of the royal government, must and will awaken an impression that the committee IS seek ing to exercise influence on questions of foreign policy and the use of certain war measures. This publication forces us to point out that the direction of the foreign policy and the conduct of the war belong exclusively as cOnsti- tutional prerogatives to the German empire.
 While supreme military comment can under no circumstances be subjected to parliamentary influences, parlia- mentary discussion of foreign ques- tions belongs solely before the forum of the reichstag.
 "The chancellor who returned early we hear. bring out this standpoint in answer to the president of the diet"
 Nothing is published here today re- garding the proposals of q settlement of the Lusitania case as received through Ambassador vOn Bernstorff. The discussion of the submarine issue is still revolving chiefly around the German memorandum. There is little new therein, however, but there is an exciting campaign being carried on by the Chauvinistic organs under the leadership of Count von Reventlow in the Tages Zeitung against the Frank .furter Zeitung's suggestion that the application of the new procedure de- fined in the memorandum anG the fu- ture conduct of the submarine cam paign may depend largely on the suc- cess which Secretary Lansing may have in his efforts to induce Great Britain France and other belligerents to remove armament from commercial shipping.

NEW CL|F T0N i. STRIKE ENDS ! / OVER NIGHT
Especial to The RepubIican.)


 CLIFTON, Arizona, Feb. 12.-Decid- ing that the walkout of nine hundred empolyes of the Detroit Copper com pany yesterday, when two union men were discharged on complaint that they had threatened two non- union men, was premature and uncalled for, the all returned to work and at a confer with the mine managers relative to the reinstatement of the discharged men, called upon the participants in the new strike to return to work and leave the matter of an adjustment to the griev- ance committee Early today the men all returned to work an dat confer ence held this afternoon between the mine managers and the strikers com mttee, the discharged men were rein stated. The two non- union men who had made the complaint also went to work.
 It was the consensus of opinion among the men, after considering the nasty action of yesterday, that they had not adhered to their agreement with the mine managers to submit their grievance through a regular committee and that there never should have been a walkout. Whatever grievance may exist through the incident of yester- day will be considered formally at a meeting on February 21, as originally planned. In this connection the men contend that the mine superintendent was to blame in discharging two men without having submitted his side at the approaching conference.
 
 that the short lived strike will have a good effect in keeping down nasty ac- ton when further diSsensions arise
 Seventy five employees of the Shan non company are still out, but it is believed their differences will be settled shortly.

'F|END|SH COOK
 PUTS POISON IN l SOUP, NOW CONE

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 CHICAGO, Feb. 12-Virulent poison was found today by city chemists in samples of the soup served at the banquet in honor of Archbishop
 Mundelein at the University Club Thursday night Today's discovery coupled with the disappearance of kitchen employe of the club and the finding of similar poison in a private laboratory in his room together with literature classed as anarchistic led the police to believe that the illness which overcame more than a hundred
 of the diners was the result of a
 deliberate attempt to poison the
 guests.
 The nature of the poison discov-
 cred and fear that perhaps slow
 acting poison had also been mingled
 with the banquet viand prompted the
 city health commissioner Dr. John D.
 Robertson to issue a warning to all
 who attended the banquet to place themselves immediately under the
 care of a physician.
 Several of the distinguished guests
 were so affected that they have not yet recovered. Two are still con- fined to their beds and a number of others today said they still felt the effects of the poisonous soup. Archbishop Mundelein was not af- fected by the poison. He ate very sparingly of the soup and said today that he had not felt any ill effects. The absence of Jean Crones, assis- tant chef at the club, was noted by the manager H. J. Doherty and his suspicious were aroused With a policeman he went to Crones rooms and there discovered the laboratory and found poison flasks.
 Crones, according to the club off cials, was employed last September and was fond of discussing economic questions and was said to have often inveighed against the present order of society with it's strata of rich and poor In the room which he had occupied the, police say they found many volumes by anarchistic authors, explosives and weapons in addition to the poison vials. His description was sent to var ious cities.
 Among the guests at the banquet who were affected by the poison were prelates, judges, bankers, noted physicians representative business
 men and manufacturers prominent in the affairs of city and nation.

Po- litical eXiles of her grade are not usu- ally allowed to stay in the capital city of Siberian province, but the rule was relaxed in her case.
 Mrs. Breshkofvsky formerly had been living in Yakutsk, in the extreme north of Siberia.
