Right here on your unruled
pages, l am pasting Eleanor Fair
lows letter in answer to the one
which | wrote her. I am wonder
ing, dear little book, IL the time
will ever come when / shall look
back upon these episodes and be
able to get the right perspective.
Even now, and it has been months
since this affair has apparently
closed, my heart becomes sick,
and my whole body grows cold
and trembling, as / glance over
the burning words that Eleanor
Fairlow wrote me.
Dear Margie:--
Yes, as strange as 1t may seem,
you are dear to me, and l think
/ realize your wonderful nature
your great big understanding well
enough to know that you will let
me at least call you dear this
once.
/ have always loved Dick
Waverly, ever since I knew what
love meant.
l know his weaknesses and his
faults perhaps better even than
you.
1 knew exactly what was do
ing that night on the train.
There was only one thing that
II did not know-that l forgot,
land that was you.
Margie, we, you and /, can talk
plainly to each other. l am go
ing to write you in the same
spirit of fairness and business
that you have written me.
l must go back little to that
awful day, when Dick wrote me
that he had met you, that you
had taken his heart by storm and
that he was the happiest of men
because you were going to be his
wife. With the blithest uncon-
sciousness he said, II know you
will rejoice with me, dear Flea
nor, for we have always been
|such pals that l am sure you will
be glad am going to be SO
happy"
Great God, Margie, can you
conceive of any greater egotism
than that!--Dick Waverly, who
had told ime ever since he was in
short trousers that when he was
old enough and rich enough he
was going to ask me to marry
him. I could see from his letter
that he did not consider that
tentative promise binding. and
yet he knew I loved him.

Mexico Northeastern train 80 miles
west of Chihuahua City, robbed and
stripped of their clothing, according to
a message received by HI. G. Myles,
British vice consul here, from British
Consul Scoven at Chihuahua City.
The train on which the Americans
were travelling from Chihuahua City
to Cusihuiriachic, Chihuahua, carried
thousands of dollars in currency and a
large quantity of supplies sent by the
American Smelling and Refining COM
| lpanv to its mines in Cusihuiriachic.
| 1t is believed here that all of the Is
| American mining men known to have
been in Chihuahua City were on board
the looted train. Thomas NJ. Holmes
the only known survivor, stated, how
ever, in his brief telegram giving the
first news Of the raid, that he counted
but l6 Americans taken from the train
Almost Immediately after the first
news of the raid was received a cen
sorship was imposed on the wires be
tween Juarez and Chihuahua City by
the Carranza officials. This action wat
taken, it was said, ''until the story
could be verified from official Mexican
sources.

on Christ in Art, in which he de-
scribed many of the famous paintings
of Christ in the art galleries of the

lists. All of these paintings, wonder

BOWLING CHAMPION
GAVE EXHIBITION
In 10 String Match Against Masonic
Players Poehler Won by Score of
1,063 to GAL.

The visit of Paul Poehler of Boston,
champion candle pin bowler of New
England, to the Masonic alleys yester-
day afternoon and evening was
great event to the followers of the
popular indoor game in which there is
noted a steady growth of interest To-
cally.
In the afternoon Poehler bowIed ten
or more strong strings with different
members of the Masonic league teams.
His average was well above the 100
mark. Poehler made very favorable
impression, not only by his skill as a
bowler, but by his agreeable way of
giving instruction and advice to those
who wish to improve their game.
Several suggestions which he made
in regard to improvement in the al
leys will be put into effect as soon as
possible. He said the alleys compared
favorably with those in any private
club, and the bowlers here showed re
| remarkably good form for amateurs
without extensive experience.
In the evening large audience was
present 70 witness q 10-string matcr
! in which each member of the Ma
sonic first team bowled two string:
against Poehler. The north side al
| ley had been arranged as gallery
with seats running its full length
The expert won every string, and M
total was 1868 to 914 for the loca
men. Crowell pushed Poehler hard il
one round. with 116 against 120, anc
Marks, bowling on a spare in his las
box, had a chance to win once from
the visitor, but was able to get onl,
two pins on his last ball and finished
with an even 100 against 104 fo
Poehler. Poehler s breaks were not o
the lucky kind, but he aroused grea
enthusiasm by his ability TO pick sin
gle pins and to make good cleanup
from hard combinations.
