Omaha .SHRINERS
REACH PORTLAND
FOR CONVENTION.
Tangier Temple Members
Make Great Showing in
- Parade Through
City's Streets.

Portland, Ore, June 2o.-(Special
Telegram. )--No temple that reached
Portland today for the great shrine
convention attracted more favorable
attention than Tangier of Omaha,
which rolled into the union station
this morning. The Nebraskahs' had
a great trip across the continent and
are prepared to have the time Of
their lives this week.
AS soon as they had arrived the
Omaha contingent started a parade
of the business section that brought
a burst of cheers wherever they
went. The party in its cream uni
forms made a splendid showing and
the band won much applause for its
maneuvers while playing.
Although one of the smaller
bands to arrive, the playing was so
good that Oscar Leibner and his
musicians were invited to play at
the first luncheon to Queen Claire
of the Rose festival, Portland's; an
nual floral show which is to merge
in with the last day of the shrine
conyention. The luncheon is to be
held Tuesday noon at the Multno-
nah hotel where Tangier has its
headquarters.
Earl R. Sites, potentiate of Tan
gier, was enthusiastic over the pre-
parations that have been made for
the Portland session. More than
100000 has been spent on entertain
ment and the city has been trans
formed into a fairJland. The fun
throughout the week will be fast and
furious with events scheduled for
almost every hour, day and night
Omaha's delegation was 18th
to arrive on special trains. Seventy
seven temples, or more than 65 spe-
cials are scheduled to get i'll tomor-
row and the attendance will be the
largest at any imperial council ever
held. Imperial Potentate Kendall
was one of the arrivals today and
was greeted with a big reception.
The regular program of the week be-
gins Tuesday.

Is a Four-Leaved Clover Consid-
cred Lucky.
Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler
Syndicate. Inc.)
:. The belief in the fortunate
qualities attributed to, the four
leaved clover undoubtedly has its
origin in the convention between
the four petals and the cross,
coupled with the fact that clovers
with more than three leaves are,
while not rare, distinctly abb
normal. Anything out of the
usual, off the beaten path of ma
tute, was always attributed by
the peoples of earlier ages to
supernatural Influences. so it was
to be expected that four-leaved
clovers would be endowed in the
popular mind with either a good
or a malign influence. The re-
semblance to the symbol Of
Christianity placed the clover in,
the good luck" class, as evil
denced by the old couplet:
with a four-leaved clover, a
double-leaved ash and
green-topped seave (rush),
You may go before the queens
daughter without asking
her leave"
Another but not so universal
belief connected with the clover
is that one of the two-leaved va
riety-even- more rare than the
four-will enable maid to
visualize her future husband,
much as she is supposed to see
him in the looking glass on Hal.

The wafer was collier now. Taro's
head disappeared below the edge of

he said:

baths they were dressed in clean

breakfast and at 7 o'clock they
were all ready for school.
Their mother gave them each a
paper umbrella in case of rain. She
hung a little brocaded bag, with a
jar of rice inside it, on the left arm
of each Twin. This was for their
luncheon. Then she gave them each
a brand-new copy-book and a
brandnew soroban.- A soroban is

Nell GWynn.

Unlike many of the favorites Of
kings, Nell Gwyn vas not thrown out
of balance by the attention Of royalty.
Even though her illiteracy was of a
pronounced character in those days,
when many Of a higher rank were I'M
lettered, Nell, the orange seller Of the
Theater Royal, was received in the
best London society, for her anima-
ton, humor and kindly nature seemed
to have more than overbalanced her
defects, and her many acts of charity
gained her the lasting esteem and af-
lection of the people. According to
Burnet and Evelyn, the last words Of
Charles II were for her: "Let not poor
Nelly starve," was the dying sentence
of the monarch of England.

CHAPTER xVIl.
Father Lucien Arrives.

Father Lucien had grown very fond
of Hilary. He did not know what to
do. Hilary was in the woods now, and
almost inaccessible. The cure had not
ever LATE to wrangle with. His days
passed in detection. Moreover, the
matter of Ste. Marie bothered him.
Father Lucien had been jeered out of
the village, and he knew that if the
bishop heard of it he would be trans
ferred to another parish. Father Luz
Glen loved st. Boniface, where he had
spent all his life.
He had sent to Quebec for a book on
single-stick exercises, which he had
seer advertised in an old magazine.
He had become interested, and had
fashioned a fine s~inglestick from a
plant hazel bough. Father Lucien
followed the instructions given in the
book with patient care, and with the
best results. He was very thorough
in all that he did. His muscles began
to grow, his physical health became
excellent. Soon he became quite ex-
pert. 1t was a sight to see the cure
practicing lunges in the seclusion Of
his study, among the theological vol
umes; but nobody had seen him except
his old housekeeper, and it took sew
eral minutes to convince the old lady
that her revered charge had not gone
suddenly insane.

he seemed bleeding to death, and sht
could only try to stanch the blood that
never stopped flowing.
Suddenly there came a terrific lurch
Of the vessel, which began to spin
crafty In the trough of the sea. And
above the roaring of the wind came
the wild cries of Dupont and the ex-
postulations of Brousseau. The cap
tain's reason had deserted him; he had
abandoned the wheel to fight out his
quarrel with Hilary. The schooner,
uncontrolled, ran sidewise before the
wind, and Brousseau, willing as he
was to let Dupont 60 on his errand OF
murder, was unable to steer her. He
had handled ships before, but the
swift cross-currents at the juncture Of
river and gulf made the task impos-
sible for one who did not know init
mately that uncharted track, far from
the main channel, now impossible
with ice. The schooner was rolling
heavily, huge seas were sweeping over
board, and she turned successfully
half round the compass; the wind,
catching her swinging sails, began to
whirl her round and round; and
steadily she drifted toward the pack
ice along the shore Of the island.
Madeleine, working over Hilary
frantically in the cabin, saw Dupont
and Brousseau struggling on the poop
deck. Dupont was trying to force
his way between the lumber piles,
while Brousseau urged him back to the
wheel. Her mind worked rapidly. Was
there any way of controlling the stu
alton? She could see none. The moon
had risen high, and the mists were
clearing away Not far distant was
the nearing point of the island, and
the open Gulf lay beyond. Toward the
ice field the ship was hurrying with
frightful speed.
Madeleine saw the ice fast on every
side. The narrow passage behind,
filed with black, foam-fiecked water,
was closing in. She did not hesitate,
but caught at Hilary and urged him to
his feet. He managed to rise, with
her support, and staggered at her side
toward the bulwarks.
She stopped, picked the fur coat
from the shoulders of the dead out
law, and placed it about him. She
pointed toward the ice field. Brous-
seat was still struggling with Dupont
heal the wheel and Dupont was
thrashing his arms and bowling his
wild paean. With the last exercise of
his strength Hilary managed to drop
to the ice.
He lay there. Madeleine crouched
over him under the bow of the vessel,
and her last hope went out.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1920-05-13

At last they emerged from the for
est and crossed the bridge. The hum
Of the mill had ceased, and had been
succeeded by another sound, well
known to jewellers along the st. Law
renee shores when winter arrives: The
stirring of the ice foes as the impend-
ing storm drives them together to their
long winter anchorage.
The sleigh went madly along the
wharf, which groaned and creaked as
the ice battered it on either side. Made
leine sprang from the sleigh and ran
on board the schooner, which was al
ready moving.
AS Marie descended to follow her
she saw that it was too late. There
was an increasing space between the
wharf and the deck. She hesitated,
and then it was impossible to follow.
For a moment she thought she saw
Madeleine threading the narrow pas
sage between the piles Of lumber;
then the darkness closed about her.
The pulleys creaked. The mainsail
and foresail swung upward and bellied
in the wind. The two ~gafftopsails
cleaned like white birds against the
night.
Then only the sails remained. They
turned and shifted, disappearing and

again. He went Keeling across the
deck like an inanimate thing, struck
the bulwark, and, as the schooner
lurched, toppled into the sea. He was
probably dead before he disappeared
beneath the waves.
Leblanc rushed frantically toward
the barricade. Hilary was upon him
when he saw Brousseau whip out a re-
volver and take deliberate aim at him.
He felt the bullet clip his cheek. Twice
more Brousseau fired. At the second
shot Hilary stumbled and fell fiat in
the cabin entrance. At the third. Lee
blanc, shot through the brain, whirled
round twice and collapsed in front of
the barrier.
Madeleine dragged Hilary within the
cabin. Blood was gushing from a
wound in his breast. Frantically she
began to tear away the upper part of
his clothing and to endeavor to stanch
the wound. Suddenly she perceived the
little rusted revolver upon the floor
She snatched it up and ran TO see
Brousseau in the act of crossing the
barricade. She pushed it into his
face.
Brousseau cursed and dropped on the
far side; Madeleine heard him running
into the darkness. She had brought q
temporary respite. She ran back tC
Hilary. But it was almost dark in the
cabin, and there was hardly anything
she could do. He was conscious, but
