Atlanta, Feb. 2.-(SpeciaD- soli- taire, sparkling like frozen fire, in jewellers window, inspired the most melodramatic murder of the decade in this city. A youth, and the girl, with whom he was infatuated, saw the stone. The girl longed for it with all her feminine soul. The lad in his love would refuse her nothing. He lacked the money to buy it, but he had a gun.
 And so Frank P. Du Pre- stands to- day in the shadow of the rope, on trial for murder in the first degree. Betty Andrews, the light O love who was enthralled by the 1uster of the gem, stands beside him, accused as an accessory before and after the crime. One man. a Pinkerton detec- tive, is dead.

 The sudden single-handed daylight raid on the jewellers, the flight in shower of lead, the capture and trial, come all within the scope of six weeks.

Two Swede farmers were in trouble over a COW. The animal, which be- longed to Lars, had strayed into O1e's barnyard one fine day. Ole held her for damages, which Lars refused to pay. At the end of a week the mat ter was taken before the local jus tfce of the peace. Lars lawyer, in attempting to prove that Ole had no right to damages, did not mfnce mat ters.
 "Ole," he thundered, "how about the milk from that COW while she was in your possession? Who got it, Ole? Milk is worth money. Come, now, didn't you milk herr"
 "Ya," said Ole unhesitatingly.
 Didn't you milk her all the time ?"
 Ole stared unblinkingIy at the sheep-bound volume in the lawyers hand. Then the look of bewilderment left his face. ''Naw," he said earnest Iy, "Ay milk her only twice a day"

THE SUPPER HOUR AT CAMP.
 Every wei, my girl,'' said Miguel as I1lona demurred at telling tales about the other women, "but all this sort of pickering going on in my little tribe worries me to death. You might think of that"
 Don't pay any attention to what anyone says, and you'll find that your life will suddenly become very peace ful" retorted Illona sagely. "You surely know what an old trouble maker Gemma is, and Stella is rapid ly becoming one herself, through her mother. It's a shame. The only thing that really worries me at all is the fact that for some reason or other Stella has come to hate me. I can't understand that"
 "Stella is a su1len sort of girl, but her whole race is a discontented one, so what could you expect?" said Mi gue1.
 Please don't worry any more about me or the rest of us,'' begged I11ona earnestly, smiling up into the mans eyes. "There is nothing to get so up set about. Just remember that we are many women thrown together closely at all hours of the day and night: there are bound to be quar- rels."
 There's Stella now, look at her, she is the personification of resent ment every line of her figure, and goodness knows for what resons, don't" finished Don Miguel. pointing to where a girl stood leaning idly against a broken down fence nearby and gazing at the two approaching figures in a hostile manner.
 Stella was undoubtedly handsome, S,r1r xx,5t1, vivid cOIorinpr in her cheeks. She had great somber, black eyes, that were haunting in their ex- pression, and a voluptuous figure. As IIlona and the young chief drew near CT she suddenly turned her back to them and after a moments hesitation walked away in the opposite direction with fierce, terky movements.
 A group of women gathered round Gemma.s tent commenced to disperse as their chief and Il1ona came by. One of them, an old. beady-eyed woman, shook her head doleful1y, and noted the happy sparkle in the girls eyes.
 "Thou beant of us, thou beant of us. nav" she remarked to herself as she hobbled along.
 Clouds of smoke were arising from a fire just started by the men and the pine logs snapped and cracked and hissed thelr tangy fragrance to the
 
 action, even to the smallest black-eyed boy.
 Several women with flaming hand kerchfefs tied over their heads were busy pee1ing potatoes stolen from a nearby field for the supper. Others were grouped here and there. cutting up huge slices of meat and throwing them into two enormous iron cau1- drons for the evening stew. Now nf ton, a tiny. bow-legged bambino would become entangled in his busy mothers skirts, be promptly slapped and hustled ito other quarters by either the mother herself or one of the older children, of which there seemed to be no dearth, and all would go on as before
 It was an infinitely peaceful scene and one that Don Miguel never tired of. no matter what his mood. His gentle people busy all around him and he himself busy sswfns wood for the

 Wounds City Official. City Comptroller B. Graham Wes was leaving the hotel. He saw the crowd and the quarry. He charged at the fugitive. The automatic pisto swept round to confront him, spal three times. and the comptroller fell wounded. Du Pre-, the diamond clutched in his left hand, doubled or his trail, leaped into a cab. drove to Chattanooga, where he pawned the ring, and fled to Detroit, where he was trapped by the carelessness of his girl and himself in their correspon- dsnce.
 Civic and commercial organizations joined in a reward of $21,00O for his capture. Betty Andrews shrugged her shoulders and sat tight as detectives searched the city for her man. A month after the murder, he was still free and in the bravado of youth sent a letter to a newspaper, signed "The Peachtree Bandit" and this supplied the long sought clue.
 The mails were watched, return let ters were sent to him in the forged handwriting of friends and finally one that appeared to come from Betty reached him. Replying he revealed his address and the detectives, burn ing with desire to avenge their dead comrade. dropped on him.

 "The shooting part seems like a dream to me, yet. I've been troubled with nightmare lately, anyway, and I want to get this whole thing over with, as soon as possible. Is 1t the chair or the rope in Georgia, now?"
 The assurance of the youth-for he is only twenty-amazed the detectives, familiar as they were with the cal lousness of criminals.

 I've an idea a direct question would bring a direct anwser. Do you love this girl and want to make her your wife? Or do you merely want to have her give up all her other friends so she can devote herself to you?

King Boris Has Trouble
Finding Suitable Wife
(By Associated PrAss)

SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 14.-Despair-
ing of finding an American wife for
King Boris, Premier Stamboulisky is
understood to have asked David Lloyd
George to suggest a suitable English
mate for the lonely monarch. To this
the British prime minister is said to
have replied humorously that he had
not yet been able to find wife for the
Prince of Wales and that Boris would
have to wait, as the supply of royal
princesses and other title ladies in
Europe seemed to be depleted.
When the correspondent asked the
King about his reported desire to mar
ry, he said laughingly: IF you be-
lieve what some of our neighbors say,
my throne is rather insecure and
might not support two"
Asked if he desired to wed an Amer
lean girl as suggested by Stambouli-
sky he replied: We'll not this year,
nor next, I'm too busy rebuilding my
country and must deny myself all So
cial pleasures and some domestic hap
piness, but have great admiration for
the American women and I'm sure they
make excellent wifes.'
To the question would you prefer a
pretty woman rather than a practical
one, the ruler with a twinkle in his
eye made the diplomatic response:
We'll all American girls are pretty, are
they not?"

CANTON (Via Steamer to Hong
Kong, July 14.-Neutral leaders are
continuing their efforts to effect COM
promise of the differences between DR..
Sun Vat Sen, president of the over
thrown Canton government of China,
and General Chen Chung Ming, who
ousted him from control of Canton.
Dr.. Sun maintains his original posi-
ton that he be reinstated in his presi-
dency and that Chen apologize for his
actions before he will consent to nego-
tiate with him.
Chen remains at Waichow. so miles
from here, leaving his subordinate, Zip
Kue, who had actual charge of the
coup, whereby Sun was ousted from
Canton, in charge in that city.
A typhoon has cut off Canton from
telegraphic communication with the
outside world, demoralized river traf-
fic and done other damage. The lines
of the railway between Canton and
Hong Kong are blocked because of
damage to bridges.
Advices from Hong Kong filed at the
same hour as the foregoing make no
mention of loss of life due to the ty-
phoen, which apparently struck Canton
yesterday.
