De vALERA'S
ACT UPSETS
PEACE MEET
won't Recede From Po
sition," Says Lloyd
George.
BULLETIN.

London, Oct. "a United
Press.) Irish peace con-
florence, facing crisis over the
question of British insistence
upon admission of allegiance
TO the crown by Sim Fem, met
this afternoon at 10 Downing
street, at p m.
London, Oct. 24.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.) - Prime Minister
Lloyd George, answering a ques-
ton in the house of commons to-
day regarding Eamonn de Valera's S
message to Pope Benedict said the
publication of MIR. de Valera's mes
sage, especially in the middle of
the peace negotiations. constituted
a grave challenge.
Conference Halted.
"The position of the government
on the question involved in that
telegram has been made abundantly
clear" the premier continued. I'VE
do not propose to recede from 1t
and the conference can not pro-
ceed on any other basis"
London, Oct A.-Grave anxiety
over the possibility of negotiations
between the British government
and Sim Fein Ireland continuing
to a successful conclusion was felt
here today. The conference be-
tween members of the British cab
met and representative of the Dali
Eireann was resumed but there was
evident a feeling that the situation
was such as to give ground for
concern among those hopeful for
an adjustment of the Irish contro-
versy.
Collins Back In London.
Michael Collins, minister of
finance in the Dali Eireann govern
ment, who went to Dublin on Sat
urday, returned here last night. It
was understood that Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George had laid before
the Irish delegates certain ques-
! tions affecting Irish allegiance to
the British crown and there was a
belief that Mr.. Collins had gone To
Dublin to talk the situation over
with his colleagues. 1t was sup
, posed he brought a communication
! from Eamonn de Valera, and it was
| felt that on this answer and the at
titude taken by the Dali Eireann
! delegates would depend the conse-
Quences of the negotiations.
Election Call Possible.
Everywhere except in irrecon-
cilable quarters, hope that the con-
| ference would continue was ex-
pressed this morning, and it was
argued that with good will on each
! side a way out Of the difficulty Gre
ated by Mr.. de Valera's message to
/ Pope Benedict could be found. Al
the same time it was contenGed
that if the Sim Fein representa-
tives endorsed their leaders words
| it was hardly possible to see how a
rupture of the conference was
aVo;dable.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Letter and a Proposal.


The MOreland Coal company's two
big rough buildings were completed
in record time. There had been no
further manifestations of interference
from the Balls and TOrreys, and Hen
dersOn Golf had been nowhere in evil
dence since the night of Bill Dale's
irOnclad verbal ultimatum. Work on
the little railroad was progressing like
wildfire, and everybody was in high
spirits.
By Heck had just arrived with the
mail. He stalked with an air of great
importance into Dale's office, and
threw the mail down on the new roll
top desk; then he stepped backward,
dropped into Straight-back chair and
began to nurse his rifle tenderly on
his knees. There was a puzzled look
on his Ieathery face. Dale had re-
ceived half a dozen letters, and By
Heck was at loss to figure out the
why Of such an overwhelming amount
of mail.
Dale finished his figuring, leaned
back in his swivel chair and took up
a letter that seemed altogether too
bulky for business letter. More
over, its address was in pencil, and
somewhat scrawled, though a chirOg-
raphy expert would have said that
the handwriting showed strength of
character.

"that mistakes US for a newspaper
