Discovery

by August. except for Jack and
his party. the Maison Bondie was
entirely bare OF guests
Perhaps II was as well. for one
evening early In the month as Fan
tine and Alagwa and Peters Miami
wife sat down TO supper Peter came
hurrying in. bringing news that
destroyed the tastefulness even OF
Fantine's cooking.
Capt. Wells and Capt. Head and
the entire garrison OF Fort Dear
born had been massacred. The
news had just reached the Miami
village. II had not yet reached
the fort or any white man con-
nected with the Earrison-not even
Major Suckney or the priest at the
Catholic church--and probably
would not reach them until the
morrow.
With hated breath the Bondies
discussed the massacre.
Should they at once seek Major
Stickney. who was Ill with ague,
and tell him the news or should
they walt till the morrow?
Abruptly shadow darkened the
door and thru 1t. into the room,
stepped Metea, retainer OF the
Bondies. who had suddenly disap-
peared two weeks before. Offering
no explanation of his presence nor
OF his absence. Ire sat down at the
table and began to devour the food
which Peters Miami wife placed
before him.

Metea had paused and glanced
about the room, waiting reply.
II did not come and he went on,
his glance lingering on Alagwa.
0Peter Bondie has ever been the
friend of the red men" he resumed.
HE has taken a squaw from the
Miami tribe. Metea is his friend.
Metea Is also the friend OF Alagwa,
the foster child OF Tecumseh.
Therefore. let my brother take
warning and begone; and''-he
turned TO Alagwa my sister

Such is the will OF Tecumseh."
The Bondies looked at each
other: then they looked at Alagwa.
The imminent loss of all that they
had accumulated was n shock. but
Meteas words TO Alagwa struck
them dumb. Famine. knowing what
she did about the girl. had sus-
pected that the tie between her and
Tecumseh had not been entirely
broken. but Peter was ignorant,
even of her sex. and its revelation

ILLINOIS TO HAVE

Springfield, Ill, April 12.-Illinois
is to establish summer school for
the 2,400 health officers in the state,

are to contribute their services as in
struCtOrs.
Kansas has maintained such a
school for several years and Paul
Hansen, chief sanitary officer of the
state board of health is to attend the
next one which opens in Topeka,
Kan, April "a and continues until
April 90
The Kansas school is a very fine
thing" said DR.. Drake. "and We ex-
pect to adopt many of its ideas. One
Of its plans is to devote two hours
a day to answering questions of the
health officer students. AS many of
these men would hesitate to ask their
questions in class a question box is
provided and the curious drop anony-
nous queries into it. The instructors
answer to the best of their ability. We

Two Rock Island Girls Complain Of
Parental Misreatment and De.
eide to 60 Forth.
CAUGHT BY DAVENPORT POLICE
After Being Arrested In Commercial
Cafe They Tell Authorities They
Intend Running Away.

Two Rock Island girls put their
heads together yesterday, exchanged
notes and found that the both had the
same grievance-severe guidance of
parental hands.
No sooner had they found their
plight Of identical nature than they
came TO the hasty conclusion that
there was but one path open to them,
that leading to the outer world with
all its riches and splendor, where they
could find pleasures unrestricted by
stern home rules.
What their fate might have been is
not known. But, fortunately for the
two, their Intentions to give Rock Is
land q wide berth ended as soon as
they reached Davenport. Early today
they were picked up by detectives OF
the Davenport police department.
They gave the names Of Gertie
Ehlers and Edna Copper. It is thought
that the names are fictitious. They
were returned to their homes by their
fathers, who called at the Davenport
police station to get them. They were
watched last evening by detectives,
who followed them long enough TO de-
termine that they were wanderers. At
the time they were apprehended they
were in the Commercial cafe. They
confessed to the police that they had
intended running away because their
parents mistreated them.
May Smith, a woman arrested in
Rock Island late yesterday after
noon and turned over to Davenport
police after local authorities
found that they did not have sufficient
evidence to substantiate charges
brought against her In local police
court, today was dismissed In Dav.
export police court. The woman was
nabbed on suspicion of having been
responsible for shoplifting In depart
