summer boarders. She was well ed

Her mother, who had been left a wild

many ways that only a mother Of
good breeding can.
Joe and Margaret had gone a-fish-

The sun just glinted through the
leaves enough to let you know he
was shining his brightest and not
enough to trouble the two who sat
on the bank of the stream with the
corks of their lines bobbing on the
surface. Were the fish biting? Well,
no. It was not exactly a good day for
fishing, altogether too sunny. But
what did that matter? It was much
more important that they were to-
gether, that they talked Of things
that brought out a greater under
standing of each other, /and-weIl,
after all, just that they were to-
gether.
They were rather ashamed 10 go
home with just two fish, but Mar
garet had a sudden sense of being
wanted in the kitchen, and they
started. When about half way, Joe
paused as though struck by thUn-
derbOlt.

man can loom" in the pathway, fac

rey had never married and lived in a
handsome bachelor apartment.
There really was no reason for call
ing him odd" for he was still on
the sunny side of 60. But he had
seemed to age rapidly of late. Joe
wondered if it was not due to his

COMPROMISE
OF CHINA BREAK

Denies Assistance to Any Chi
nese Party

Washington, July 9.-Final over
throw of the abortive movement in
China for restoration Of the Manchu
dynasty is believed here to be only a
matter of a few days Both Official and
unofficial dispatches have led to the
conviction that the fighting is virtual
ly over and solution soon will be
found by compromise, since both sides
are faced by an extremity neither
cares to meet-thc monarchists by fear
of the death penalty and the republi-
cans by fear of the destruction of Pc
kin. Latest advices received here re-
port the republicans blocking all four
lines of railroads out Of Pekin and
Chang Hsun, the monarchist COM
mander. still holding the ancient city
as a pawn for his personal safety. III
this situation it is thought both sides
are about ready to end the trouble.
If the revolution is ended thus by a
compromise, officials believe il will
have had very beneficial effect on
China. routing the last remnants of
Manchuism and establishing the re-
public more firmly than ever before.
Many previously discordant elements
in China have been brought together
against the monarchist danger and q
period Of unity is expected to follow.
