mental souvenirs.
There was no one she could think
of who would send her anything, and
nothing that she could remember that
would come in a box like that. And
Mr.. Marks, she knew, had never seen
silver string. He used red and white
cord that looked like peppermint
candy and since paper was so high
he had even charged extra for envel-
opes.
She laid back the lid Of the letter
box and took the violet box tender
ly in both hands as she would have
lifted a sick baby. Yes, the name
and address were hers. She had re.
ceived a valentine.
She laid her cheek against its damp
cold top, where the snowfakes were
already doing their best to obliterate
the address. 'You darling" she whis-
pered. "You dear" Then she folded
1t carefully under her shawl and
turned back to the house.

grimly. "Open it."
Luella laid the box on the white

united the cord with trembling fin

good reason for the lateness, Luella
knew, for it was Valentine day and
more than likely the dozens of pink
and blue sentiments he left along his
route had caused the delay.
Her own heart was beating hard, not
so much with the delicious joy of an
ticipation-for she hardly expected
valentine from anybody--as with ex-
element. What IL, after all, somebody
had thought of her!
AS she drew near to the box she
stopped for an instant. What If 1t was
empty? Oh, well, she was used to not
getting things, and life wouldn't be any
different than before. She went on
down to the box, lifted the lid and
peeked in.
"Oh" Luella's gray eyes widened
with wonder. For there in the box lay

color and tied with silver cord. "Ohl"

She ate her breakfast and passed the

to feel so about a valentine sent in
fun, but they recalled her aunt's words
too keenly.
She went straight from the station
to the store and took the elevator to

Lenine Uses Opportunity To
Agitate Labor in America.
Trying To Play Same Game
Here He Played in Russia.
IT WILL FALL ON DEAF EARS
Also COols Any Sympathy for
BOlSheyiki in United States.
But Hope Persists Slav People
Will Soon Seize Power.
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Washington, March 16.-That the
Bolshevik leaders have definitely cast
their lot with the Germans was fur
ther proved today by the chilled re-
ception given President Wilson's mes
sa ge to the soviet congress and its re-
sponse inviting an upheaval of Amer
lean labor.
The resolution, angling for an up
rising of the toilers, is regarded here
as playing the German game at the
direct instigation of Lenine's German
paymasters.
Invitation for Uprising.
While directed particularly to the
United States, the soviet resolution was
interpreted by some as a blanket in
vitation for an uprising of all the
workers in all the countries-Teutonic
included.
1t will fall on deaf ears, authorities
say.
Further, it will probably discourage
to a considerable extent any more ef-
forts to sway the Bolsheviki, tho it
will not prevent the United States
from trying to the utmost to aid the
Russian people as a whole.
Lenine'S domination of the SovietS
was seen in the resolution as cabled
today. That document was generally
regarded as supporting evidence now
possessed by this government that he
is trying to stir up Russia against the
Favorable Effect on Masses.
While the cold hearing given the
presidents message was discouraging,
yet authorities thought its effect with
masses of Russia will still do good if
it can be presented fully to them with
out German propaganda distortion.
Particularly will this be true If
Germany, as limited, is preparing to
or mas actually put forth peace feel
ers at Russia's expense while aban-
doning some of her claims in the
west.
Suggestions that a feeIer had al
ready been given England based on
such a scheme were without official
confirmation here today, but as point
ed cut recently, military men and
diplomats have foreseen the likeli-
hooc of sucn proposals
Jap Situation Delicate One.
The murmurs of the soviet con-
gress about the Japanese situation
would indicate that the Russians are
not fully informed of American op-
position to japanese intervention.
That single suggestion was taken
here to support thoroly the American
position that Japanese action would
cement the Russian trend toward
joining hands with Germany.
AS for Japanese action, it was sug
gested by persons close to the en-
bassy today that it would not be
taken in advance of the arrival of
Ambassador Ishii. He has not yet
minent. President Wilson has con-
him may help to clarity difficulties
unless indeed, the japanese consider
acton essential before he has time
to reach here.

WORK FOR SHOPS
First Consignment of Eastern
Locomotives to Topeka.
Santa Fe's Efficiency Indicated
in Late Railway Move.

The superiority of Santa Fe railway
equipment and facilities was indicated
today when three huge Pennsylvania
locomotives were received by the To-
peka shops for repair. These engines
were sent to Topeka from Pittsburg,
Pa, for repairs.
For some time it has been antici-
pated that it would be necessary for
the Topeka shops of the Santa Fe to
aid in keeping transportation wheels
moving by volunteering workmen and
machinery as we'll as motive power.
Many expert machinists already have
been sent east. 1t is expected now
that the locomotive shops of the Santa
Fe here will be working under full
hours this summer handling eastern
as well as local motive and car equip
ment.
The Santa Fe has been handling
it's trains on time despite the drain
On power and the increased traffic
brought about by the war. Some time
ago the road ordered fifty locomotives
from the Baldwin works. Only six
of these have been delivered here and
thirteen of them have been diverted
to the Pennsylvania Lines for i'm

mer of harG work both for day and

BIC COAL BARGAIN
Purchasers Can Save by Buying
Supplies Early.
Storage Reductions on Colo
RADIO Goals Announced.

Topekans who want to be certain of
a supply of coal next winter and who
like to take advantage of bargains
when they are offered will be given a
chance to do so by purchasing their
winters fuel supply from the Colo
rado market during the spring and
early summer. An order, giving
Shawnee county purchasers a chance
to. take advantage of the storage rate
reductions was issued by -C.4.H. Dan
ner, local fuel administrator, this
morning. BY buying certain grades of
Colorado coal during the month of
April consumers can save as high as
70 cents a ton and they can save on
every purchase made up until the first
of August.
Not only are purchasers advised of
this opportunity to save on next win
ters fuel supply, but they are urged
to make purchases as soon as possible
to help keep the mines running at full
capacity all summer and insure the
prevention of congestion in storage
bins and on mine sidings. The order
issued by Danner this afternoon is as
follows:
banners New Order.
Storage savings on Goals from Wal
senburg, Canon City and all other dis
| tricts except the Trinidad district, pre-
pared sizes subject to summer reduc-
tions are as follows:
During April, zoe per ton.
During May, soc per ton
During June, 35c per ton.
During July. 15c per ton
Coal from the Trinidad district,
prepared sizes, subject to summer re-
ductions as follows:
During April, 40c per ton.
During May, soc per ton.
During June, zoe per ton.
During July, 10c per ton.
On August 1 the normal winter
price will prevail.
1t is desired that the consumers
thruout Kansas place orders with
their dealers at as early date as pos
the requirements of storage coal that
solutely necessary to keep all the
mines in operation during the entire
summer, to prevent a recurrence of a
coal famine such as last winters. If
the consumers will place their orders
at an early date with their dealers, the
dealers will be in a position to deliver
the coal on its arrival directly from
the cars to the customers bin. This
will be a large saving of labor and
waste of coal.
Officials want to make a special
effort to get SO per cent of the nee
essary requirements of domestic trade
| in Kansas in the consumers bins be-
fore September 1, 1918.
They feel that it is every ones pa
trlotic duty, wherever it is possible for
! MIN to do so, to comply with this re-
| quest and secure coal needed to relieve
the situation for the coming winter s
much as possible.

Up Here Tomorrow.

Books for the soldiers day will be
tomorrow and every citizen of Topeka
has been asked to see that one or more

afternoon.
The citizens committee, hera1ded by

school, will start out in automobiles at
that time to gather the books. Up
and down and across, back and forth
the automobiles will travel. gathering
the intellectual food that is expected
to go to enlighten many of the hours
of a soldiers tour in the rest camps
and billets in France.
No magazines are desired in this
collection-just books. But any kind
of books are wanted. Practically ev-
cry family in Topeka has one or more
books that have outlived their appre-
citation by the members of the family,
but just that unappreciated book at
home is the book that appeals to the
mind of the soldier seeking surcease

rors of the front line trenches

TRAIN KILLS Girl
GoIdie Ankney Run Over on
u. p. Tracks at Noon.
Two Trains on Double Tracks
Confused Her.

Goldie Ankney, the 12-year old
daughter of James Ankney, 824 North
Monroe street, was killed instantly by
Union Pacific train No. 103. fast
the Topeka station. The girl was
struck by the pilot on the engine of
the speeding flier and her small body
was crushed.
Stories as to just how the accident
occurred differ. Goldie. with her sis
ter, Edna, and two other playmates,
Evelyn Doyle and Mary Sash, were
on the tracks near the scene of the
accident. A freight train, eastbound,
came along. One version of the de-
tails is to the effect that the girls
waited on the side of the track where
a view of the second track was OBJ
structed by a freight that was passing.
GoIdie it is said, stepped around the
rear of the receding freight just in
time to be hit by the speeding passen-
ger.
Another Story Told.
Another story is that, the freight
was passing, Goldie and another girl
waited on the passenger track until
the freight would pass. The two other
girls were in the ditch beside the road
way and on seeing the passenger ap-
proach shouted to their two endan-
gered playmates. The girl with Goldie
heard the cries and ran out of danger,
but Goldie. the second version says,
failed to hear either the cries of warn
ing or the approaching train
This afternoon, agents for the rail-
road, the police and the county cor
oner, DR.. o. F. Narcotic. were con-
Quoting an investigation to ascertain
just how the girl met her death under
the pilot of the train. Imm ediately
after the accident an ambulance from
Shellabargers undertaking estab blish-
ment was summoned and the body
was taken there.
1t is said that the girls were on the
tracks picking up small Jumps of coal
which had fallen from passing trains.
