data on Smith.
The man will be arraigned for
trial in Cambridge. He is one of the
several paroled men who married
Rock Island girls after being SEN
to this city. He worked at Rock Is
land arsenal for a time, but has not

Congressman W. J. Graham Oh
this district and Harry E. Hun OF
ne Second Iowa district spent the
greater part OF today at Rock Is
land arsenal with Colonel Harry d.
Jordan, arsenal commandment, and
secretaries +. W. Bender of the
Rock Island Chamber of Commerce
and J. G. Mccarthy of the Daven-
port commercial organization, rep
resenting the tri-city arsenal mu-
scum committee.
Mr.. Bender was successful yes
terday afternoon in arranging TO
have Congressman Graham here to-
day. Congressman Hull arrived in
Davenport yesterday with the in
tcntton of remaining one day in that
city and at the arsenal. He re-
manned today at the request of the
museum committee. He leaves
shortly for France.
To both representative were ex-.
planned in detail the arsenal fnu-
scum project and were shown the
proposed site, the original arsenal
building located west of the main
enclosure on the island. Data, in
Guiding the estimated cost Of such a
project, was submitted to them dur
ing the day.
Colonel Jordan has indicated that
he favors the proposed museum
change and with the help of the
two congressman the members of
the tri-city commission feel conf
dent that appropriations and the
necessary action will be secured to
bring about the realization of the
present plans.
Invite Good.
Congressman James Good, also Of
Iowa, probably will be present at a
meeting of the tri-city committee
expected to be held either-tomor-
row or Saturday. The museum
matter will also be submitted to
him.
The museum, providing it is in
augurated, will be the only one of
rs kind in the entire middle-west

gest drawing cards that the tri-
cities has ever had. In having the
museum located in the original ar
senal building, the one where the
large four-faced clock is located,
the public could inspect it without
the need of securing a pass to the
arsenal, as is necessary at present

MAGNETIC CAUSE

Soy Meyer, Junk Dealer, Charges
A. L. Shamley, Repair Man,
With Theft of Auto Part

which Sol Meyer. a junk dealer,
says A L. STANLEY OF the firm of
Harper & Stanley, auto repair
company. 1905 Second avenue, stole
from him, will decide If the defend
ant is guilty OF larceny as charged
when the case comes up for trial in
the police court Saturday after
noon.
Stanley was arrested last night
on a warrant sworn out by Never.
The case was brought for a hear
ing this morning in the police court,
but the absence of a witness for
the complainant caused a contin-
uance.
The magnetic was left with Sham
ley for repair by man named Paul
lager, according TO Mr.. Harper.
Meyer called at the repair shop yes
terday and saw the magnetic on a
work bench. He demanded it be
given HIM, saying that it was his
property.
Harper agreed to give it to him
providing he would put up a cash
bond until the owner was ascef-
tanned. Meyers refused and in
stead swore out warrant Sham
ley is out ON bonds and denies all
OF the charges Harper and Sham
ley are colored.
Meyer said in the police court
that he could not identify the mag
reto, but that a chauffeur employ
ed in Moline could, he having seen
the article before it was taken to
the shop.

needed only an introduction was
stirred into the open.
"You must not" her voice trembled
with anger, "you must not ask that
woman. She is not to be spoken to-"
The girl asked her bluntly what she
meant.
"You must not give her your wash
'ing-must not speak to her. I've not
mentioned it before. II hoped it
would not be necessary. Tom told me
not to speak Of it."
"Tom told you not to speak Of It?
Not to speak CT what?"
"You must have observed-Mr. Rick
ard?"
The girls ear did not catch the
short pause. observed Mr.. Rickard? p
''The coolness between us. / scarce
ly speak to him. I don't wish to speak
to him."
When had all this happened, Innes
demanded Of herself? Had she been
asleep, throwing pity from outdated
dreams?
IT won't countenance a common af-
fair like that" Her eyes, sparkling
with anger, suggested jealous wrath
to Innes, who had her first hint Of the
story. She had learned never to take
the. face value of her sisters verbal
coin; It was only symbol Of value /;
1t stood for something else.
The yellow eyes were on the dredge
bucket as 1t swung across the channel,
but they did not register. She was
angry, outraged; she did not know
with whom. With Gerty for telling her,
with Rickard, with life that lets such
things be. She jumped up "Oh, stop
IT." She rushed out of the tent, fol-
lowed by strange bitter smile that
brought age to the face of Gerty Har-
din.
In her own tent, Innes found excuse
for her lack Of self-control. She did
not like the color Of scandal; she
hated smudge. Gerty had said the
whole camp knew 1t; knew why the
Mexican woman was in camp! She
did not trust Gerty In anything else
why should she trust her in that? She
would forget Gerty's gossip.
But she remembered 1t vividly that
week as she washed her own khakis
as she bent over the ironing board j.
Gerty's sweltering "kitchenette." She
thought Of 1t as she returned Rick
ards bow In the mess tent the next
morning; each time they met she
thought Of 1t. And 1t was In her mind
when she met Sonora Maldonado by
the river one day, and made sudden
wide curve to avoid having to speak
to her.
