his hand with their own rough ones.
Welleston slipped quietly TO tho hall
and waited until, with q last faltering
expression OF good will, the final man
had bid o last farewell to the priest
and tiptoed out. 1t was as if some
instructive delicacy made them feel it
proper to leave him alone in what were
his last moments
But as Father Brady opened his eyes
once more, they fell on the crouching
figure of man who had gently showed
up the window from outside and
entered and was now kneeling, weeping
bitterly, by the bedside. And as his
fevered words broke forth in the hurry
of soul torn by agony the priests
face relaxed and he murmured the
words of forgiveness in tone Of gentlest
pity.
There is more Joy in heaven" he
murmured, lover one sinner that
repenteth-"
Then his head fell back upon the
pillow and Welleston, watching with
awed gaze, saw that Of which the priest
had told him in the afternoon. For
the depth of mystery in the eyes showed
that they saw something denied to his
own view, anu the WOHueGlul JTdnSllBuT-
alton Of Joy and peace which fell upon
the stiffening countenance told his
murderer that the priest had passed to
the place he had sought through life.
Reverently he folded the hands over
the dead mans breast and turned to
the door His own life, he knew,
could now be measured by the span Of
minutes, and he halted for a moment,
his hand still on the knob, before
entering the bar.
There's no use sayin' anything
about the woman and the kid" he
reflected; they'll find EN- quick enough
when they get through with me. II
| said anything now it might look as
if | was tryin' to work up some pull
for myself-not that it would do any
good with this bunch. Still, they'll
find them both safe, and If one thing
can count over the Divide-and |
reckon the Father knew-maybe I'll
have a chance there-iest a possible
chance"
Then he stepped into the barroom
and closed the door behind him.

that dark parlor, with only the small
ray Of the lamp from the hall to light
it, everything the sleepIess old man at
home so ardently wished might have
been accomplished and they might
have taken down that line-fence the
next day and then have lived happy
ever after-quite in the way of the old
fashioned story-books For Seffy was
still brave to audacity, and Sally was
yet at his mercy-and happy to be so.
And here, if we were not arrived at a
climax, would venture to halt this
history for moment that we might
discuss a bit those trifles in life which
the ancients called Fate; and for which,
or the lack of which, life often goes awryl
But while Seffy's courage grew
again, and Sally's hope, the door on
the other side of the room opened and
the odious Sam came through.

BALF0UR IS GUEST
 AT WILSON DINNER
GREAT BRITAIN'S FOREIGN SEC. RETARY DIMES INFORMALLY
 WITH PRESIDENT.

Washington.-Arth James Bal dined informally with President Will son at The White House. and after wards the two statesmen had their first intimate talk since they met a week ago.
 In that week MT. Balfour has an- nounced that there is no thought on the part of the allies of asking the United States to enter into formal alliance for the war against Germany, loau :: sonn snn nn0.000 has been made to England, the French commlsslvn CTS have arrived, war army draft bills have passed both houses of Congress and informal conferences have estaD- lished agreement in principle between Great Britain, France and the United States on military, naval, economic and financial affairs. The three gov ernments have come to know each other both in strength and in weak ness and tho lines have been laid for the most effective cooperation possi- ble toward tic sSsscot of German au. tocracy.
 These things are understood to have been reviewed by the president aNd MT Balfour with an idea of taking stock and seeing particularly where England's experience could further be of value to the United States.
 Mir. Balfour remained at the White House until after 10 o'clock. and then accompanied the president to the Pan American Building to attend a recer- tion given there by Secretary Lansing in honor of the French commissioners.
 The British commission centered it's attention on the subjects of ships and ammunition. A. G. Anderson, who is handling shipping for Great Britain. as well as wheat, spent some time in conference with members of the shipping board, while w. T. Lawton, secretary of the British ministry of munitions, conferred with the new American munitions board. AfterwaId both officials talked with MT. Balfour.

 The seventh meeting of the Ozark trails came to an end in Jonesboro, af- ter three days most interesting ses- sion, at which time some of the lead ing good roads builders and enthug- lasts were present and preached the works of the trails from Springfield, Mo, to Memphis, which will connect with the main line of the trails from Amarillo.

AMERICANS SOLVE
 SUBMARINE MENACE
w. L. SAUNDERS, CHAIRMAN NAV. AL CONSULTING BOARD,
 IS CONFIDENT.
PERFECTED BY "A. EDISON
Behind Program Submitted To Navy Department Is All of Edison,s Prac- ticability in Accomplishing
 the Seeming Impossible.

Nec," vnrk.-W. l.. Saunders, chair man of the Naval Consulting Board announced lleie that the board had forwarded to Washington plans for dealing with he submarine problem. which, it is believed, has solved the problem ucc.ssfully
 MT. Saunders. who has been chair man of the board about two months, supplemented his announcement by saying that while the submarine prob lem cannot 1e considered to have been solved lntil the U-boats have been destroyed, nevertheless, many experiments have been made along the Atlantic coast. with highly en- couraging results, which led the board to feel confident that successful so- lution had been reached. "lt looks as though the submarine ders said, mot only in theory, but on the strength of practical tests on the Atlantic coast"
 The scheme is not merely a defen- sive measure against the submarine, Mir. Saunders said. It calls for offen- sive operations on extensive scales. Thomas A. Edison, who is president of the board, did not originate the scheme, MT. Saunders said. But the inventive wizard, he said, had been working tirelessly to perfect it's many phases. Since the declaration of war against Germany MT Edison and his assistants have been trying thousands of schemes suggested to block Ger many's undersea warfare, now ad. mittedly the great menace to the Flu ropean allies and their new American partner, the United States.
 Behined the program submitted 10 the Navy Department is all of the Edisonian practicability and all of Edison's delft skill in accomplishing the seeming impossible Announcement of the scheme by the chairman of the board dispelled ideas that it might be merely another academic idea devoid of practical use. The fact that the board made experiments before mak-
 
 in the minds of naval officials that at last the wars great problem had been solved If the plan works, as few doubt, American brains will have done what European cannon balls and bull lets have failed to do in four years of warfare
 No announcement was made of the details of the scheme. Mir. Saunders explained that announcement had been made at this time to allay the fears of Americans aroused by recent expressions by American and British officials that the U-hoat snake is be- ginning to crush the limbs of traffic between the United States and her European allies
 Fifteen sg )committees of the board have been concentrating their efforts on the submarine problem. MT. Saun- ders took pains to dispel any sugges- ton that he is theoretical in his find. ings.
