NINETEENTH EPISODE
The Cave of Despair.

Margery Golden was naturally of a
happy disposition. Yet as she sat in
the June fragrance OF the color
splaShed rose garden and let her
thoughts dwell on the recent events
which had so rudely shattered her
many cherished ideals. the pensive-
eyed girl could not repress a long
drawn sigh which betrayed only too
clearly her distress of mind. From a
branch overhead a Iiquid-noted robin
poured his melody of spring and glad
ness into the unheeding ears of the
silent and preoccupied figure on the
rustic bench.
Suddenly the feathered songster
ceased his joyous carol as Margery
heard the sound of approaching steps
on the graveled walk. The newcomer
stood looking wistfully down at the
sweet-faced girl whose golden hair
glinted in the shaft of sunlight filter
ing through the soft spring foliage.
She met his look with one Of sur
prised inquiry.
81 hardly expected to see you here,
ravy, after all tnat has happened"
she said in tones of gentle reproof.
81 had to come. Margery," he an
swered quietly, II couldn't stay away
from you any longer. Won't you be-
heve that l am truly sorry for what
1 have done and try to forgive me?"
The silent robin, which had been
regarding this masculine intruder
into its peaceful domain with some
uncertainty, now took wing in a sud-
den hutter of apprehension. For at

that moment a heavy-featured indi-

with an alarming stealthiness Of
manner. Unconscious of the pres
ence of the hidden eavesdropper, the
sad-eyed girl, after a little hesitation,
answered the impassioned plea of Da-
vid Manley.
'T do forgive you," she said In a
voice treInulous with emotion, and
then, as she saw hopeful light flash
into the eyes Of her penitent COM
panion, she added in a firmer tone.

The sadly perplexed girl stepped out
from her. place Of concealment and
stood watching the fast disappearing
figure of David Manley. To her fur
ther amazement, he seemed to be
headed directly for the Wilkens' es-
tate. What did it all mean? Deeply
occupied with these distressing
thoughts, Margery was oblivious to the
stealthy approach of four sinister fig

FATHER FATALLY
INJURIES HIS SON
SHOOTING FISH
z. L. Hall, II, Died At st.
Francis Hospital This
Morning.
BARREL OF GUN TEARS
TISSUES IN BOYS NECK
Automobile Carrying Boy Mired
in Mud on Rock Levee Road
Last Night.

While shooting fish near Matthews
yesterday afternoon, Fred Hall fatal
ly injured his son, Frank, II years old,
when the barrel of the shotgun was
hurled against the boys neck, tearing
the tissues and paralyzing the boy
completely. He was rushed to st.
Francis Hospital in the Cape, accom-
panied by DIR. l.. c. Winchester and
George Deal, both of Matthews, where
an operation was performed. The lad
expired about l o'clock this morning.
The unfortunate father almost be-
came hysterical when he learned that
his son had died. He had held out
hopes to the very last that his son
might recover. He departed for Mat
thews early this morning to make d.
engagements for the funeral of his boy.
The body will be shipped back to
Matthews for burial, which is set for
tomorrow afternoon.

they went fishing. While standing on
the bank of the river the boy came
too close to the barrel of the gun just
as the father discharged the weapon
aimed at a fish.
The force of the recoil drove the
end of the barrel into the boys neck,
who tainted Immediately. He never
regained consciousness. The injured
lad was placed in an automobile and
rushed back to Matthews. DIR. Win
chester advised that he be taken to a
hospital Immediately, as an operation
was the only means of saving the
boys life.
Owing to the muddy condition Of
the road the trip was delayed, and the
delay, the doctor said, caused the boys
death When the automobile party
reached the bridge on the Rock Levec
road leading across the drainage ditch,
they had to leave the machine and
push the car across with heavy poles
that were secured from a workmen'S
camp nearby.
The boy arrived at the hospital
shortly after 10 o'clock and was placed
upon the operating table. A local sur
geon, assisted by DR.. Winchester. per-
formed the operation, which failed to
bring the expected results.

30 Cases Taken Up by Board

to be Few.

OF the 40 claims for exemption SUD-
mitted to the Exemption Board of the
county by the men who claim to have
families depending upon their sup
port, more than % have been rejected
by the members of the board who are
now in session, passing on the many
claims sent to the board. The majority
Of those rejected were from men VINO
have a widowed mother or their pa
rents depending upon their support,
while some were men whose families
are known not to be entirely dependent
upon the income of the man claiming
exemption.
About IS per cent of those who
we're called for the first draft last
week have claimed exemption on the
grounds of dependency. The three
members of the board, Sheriff Hutson,
County Clerk Sporting and DR.. G. W..
Vineyard, are now passing on these
claims. 1t will require at least a
week before this work can be COM
pleted.
As soon Us the claims have been
passed on by the Exemption Board
and those men who have ordered to
reappear for the physical examination
have been passed, the board will pub
lish the list of the men who have been
accepted for the draft army. Those
whose exemption claims were not
granted by the board may appeal to
the District Board, which meets in
Poplar Bluff. In the meantime the
men VINO were drafted on the first call
will be personally notified whether
they have been exempted or accepted
for the army, and will be given notice
when to be ready for service. Cape
Girardeau County must furnish 153
men as its apportionment for the first
draft army.

Capt. Medley of Jackson and
Lieut.. Roberts back from

Four newly-commissioned officers of
the United States army arrived yes
terday from Fort Riley, where they
spent several months in the training
camp of the officers reserve corps. The
two officers are Charles yelling Med
lev, of jackson, who was given a COM
mission as captain after two months
training, and Edward Roberts, second
lieutenant of the national army, and
Lieutenants H. V. Newcom and Ros-
zoe Davis. The first two were given
a furlough till August 81, when they
will be ordered to report for duty.
Harry Crumb. formerly a student of
the Normal, who was also among those
commissioned as officers at the COM
pletion of the training course, is ex-
pected to arrive later. Julien Dear
mont, a son of DR.. and Mrs. w. 5.
Dearmont. also one of the Cape Cir
ardeau candidates for an officers COM
mission, failed to qualify, but was CIV
en- the privilege to undergo second
training in another camp.
Capt. Medley of Jackson established
what is said to be record among the
$500 candidates that were admitted
to the camp in Fort Riley. He was
called in month after the others had
begun their training, and was the only
candidate from the counties in South
east Missouri to be named captain OF
the United States army. He received
the best of compliments and recon-
mendations from the officers in charge
of the camp.
Lieutenant Newcomb of the engi-
necring corps of the United States ar
my arrived yesterday morning from
Forth Lcavenwo: tn, where he was in
training for several months. He en-
tered the officers training camp at Fort

TO Leavenworth. On account of his
experience he was given commission
before departing for the camp.
Lieutenant Doris, Cape Girardeau
boy. is spending two weeks furlough
with his mother, Mrs. J. H. Doris, of

Lee LANG MARRIED
MISS PRIEST, RUMOR
Couple Said to Have Wed on
Vacation Trip to Chicago,
iii.

Rumors are current in the city that
Miss Minnie Priest and Lee Lang,
both of the Cape, were married in Chi
cago, Ill.,, several days ago, where
both have been spending a vacation.
The fact that both, who have been ac-
quainted for some time, departed
about the same time, led to the sup
position that they were contemplating
being married.
Jesse Priest, live stock dealer Of
the city and brother of Miss Priest,
told a reporter for The Tribune last
night he had received letter from his
sister yesterday morning, informing
him that she was il. st. Louis. She
also wrote that she had met Mr.. Lang
in Chicago, but did not say whether
they were married or not.
According to their relatives, Miss
Priest left August 5, and Mr.. Lang
departed the following day. Both told
their relatives before leaving they
were going to Chicago, but neither
mentioned anything that left the in
ference that they would be married in
the Windy City.
Miss Priest was employed in the
store of Louis Hecht on Main street.
She has made her home with her
brother on North Lorimier street. Mr..
Lang is the youngest son of August
Lang, the shoe merchant on Main
street. The latter said last night he
had not received any word from his
son, and did not know whether he was
still in Chicago. He is expected to re-
turn during the latter part of the
week.

7. ]. SHORB'S WORK
GOOD SAYS EXPERT
Controversy Over Broadway
Pavement is Persecution of
Contractor ShOrb.

The controversy over the accept
ance of Broadway, which was paved
by T. j. Shorb, is the result of a per-
secution of the contract by several
financiers of the city, it was learned
yesterday by reporter for The Trib-
une. 1t is said by those who say they
are familiar with the matter, that the
controversy found its beginning over
financial matters.
The fact that an expert was brought
here from st. Louis to supervise the
paving of only two blocks on Broad
way, is something very unusual. The
expert gave Mr.. Shorb the best CON-
pliments on his work, stating it was
the best improvement of it's kind he
had seen.
City Councilman Ben Vineyard,
chairman of the Street and Wharf
Committee of the City Council, which
will decide whether the street shall
be accepted in its present condition,
told The Tribune yesterday that the
street would be accepted. He said this
would have been done some time ago,
but owing to the fact that the time
for opening had not expired yet, the
street would remain closed for traffic.
The concrete had not dried sufficiently,
ne said, and for that reason the Street
and Wharf Committee had not yet or
dered the street opened.
