she would take it as the tender re-
proach he had leased here with that
afternoon in the ramada.
He gave for encore a ballad long
forgotten; he had pulled it back from
the cobwebs of two decades; he had
made II his own.

1t came, the soaring voice. to Tom
Hardin, outside Gertys tent on his
lonely cot. He knew that song Dis
dained by his wife, pretty figure a
man cuts, If his wife can't stand
him, who can? He wasn't good enough
for her. He was rough. His life had
kept him from fitting himself to her
taste. She needed people who could
talk like Richard. sing like Godfrey.
People, other people, might misCon-
strue her preferences. He knew they
We're not firtations; she needed her
kind. She would always keep straight :
she was straight as a whip. Life was
as hard for her as Ii was for him; he +
could feel sorry for her; his pity was
divided between the two of them, the :
husband. the wife, both lonely in their
own way.

Italians Deny Intention Of Leaving
Peace Body.

f Paris March 22.-Widespread rc-
ports circulated in America that the
Italians have presented an ultimat,lfn
to the peace conference that unless
they were given the port OF Fiuine
they would withdraw to Rome and
make separate peace with Austria
Hungary, were denied today by the
Italian press representative. 1t was
asserted there was no truth at all-ih
the entire report. r13ss.
The Italians are pressing their coli
leagues in the peace conference TO
hasten the preparation of the treaty
with Austria, declaring it absolutely
necessary that this be given equal
precedence with the German peace.
Otherwise, it is stated, it will be inn
possible to prevent widespread dis
content throughout Italy. Recognize
ing that this contention has merit,
the peace conference has promised to
take such action if it is possible.
There are so many conflicting in
terests involved in the Italian situa-
ton, however, that headway is> ex-
>tremely difficult. The demands of
the Jugo-Slavs are absolutely irre-
concilable with the Italian claims.
The situation is, of course, causing
some concern, but the delegates are
certain of ironing out the difficulties.
The president conferred with Pre-
mier Orlando today, taking up the
entire situation. -

Three Killed When Train Hits
Automobile.

Lees Summit. March 22.-Three
persons are dead as "a result OF in
juries and burns which they suffered
this morning when a. motor truck, in
which they were riding was hit at
Lees Summit by a westbound Mis-
souri, Pacific fast mail train.
The train does not stop at Lees
Summit, and was going at high
speed when it hit the truck, throw
ing it against the stockyards fence.
The gasoline tank of the truck ex-
ploded and the wreckage immediate
ly became a mass of flames. In the
wreckage and flames were pinned
Col. Linn, farmer of near Elm,
Johnson county, Missouri: John
Linn, hts brother, and Raymond, I2-
year-old son of John Linn.
When the Lees Summit fire de-
partment had extinguished the
flames, it was found that Col. Linn
and the boy were dead. 1t could not
be determined whether burns or in
juries in. the collision had caused
their death. John Linn suffered
such serious burns that he died this
afternoon.
