old son, Charles. whom Mrs. Parmelee

Six armed and disguised men are
alleged to have forced an entrance
into the children's home and torn the

automobile shortly afterwards. accord
ing to reports, an airplane motor was
heard.
This forms the basis for the theory
that the alleged kldnapers flcd from
Mexico City by an aerial route.
The authorities while investigat-
ing the airplane theory and having
sent out the general alarm to appre-
bend il, are not inclined to place
much credence in il.
They assert that the noise Of the
motor heard by the people was that
of powerful automobile into which
the child was placed after having been
taken from n smaller closed machine

proach the children's home.

Santiago, April 27.-The position
of the United States as the guardian
of peace in the Western Hemisphere
will again be emphasized at the con.
clusion of the PanAmerican confer
ence, if the report recommending the
compulsory arbitration Of disputes
among the American nations is ac-
cepted. The report was made by the
ornaments committee andwas based
on the proposal made by DR.. Gondra.
delegate from Paraguay.
The arbitration treaties recon-.
mended are similar to those advocated
by William j. Bryan, with n modifi-
cation made at the suggestion of the
United States delegation, making the
findings of any commission investigat-
ing threat tened clashes more elastic, so
that nations need not submit to the
decisions of the commission where it
is shown that national honor is at
stake. The personnel of the proposed
commission was made all-American,
the selection of the fifth member not
being left to the President of Switzer-
land. but TO the American nations
themselves. 1t is expected that the
Gondra proposal. as soon as the text
is completed. will be accepted unani-
mously. the delegates of several of the
larger nations having already received
instructions from their governments
authorizing acceptance.
An agreement has virtually been
reached on the subject of rcorganiz-
ing the governing board of the Pan
American Union, making it possible
to get the unanimous approval of tine
members Of the political committee
in accordance with the principles laid
down by the Costa Rican delegation.

 Donald Muir loved her!
 That was the statement Winifred scott repeated to herself so often that the sentence ceased to have any meaning.
 He had told her he loved her. That Tn itself was wonderful. It was her last conscious thought that night of the following day.
 ret, after all, she reflected, this fact could not work any imme ediate revolution in her life. As she had thrill+d at his declaration of affec- tion, she had fancied that a new ex- lStence was opening before her-that she returned his affection. Now in the light of the prosaic day she was not sure that she did love him enough to wish to marry him.. To be engaged was one thing. That would mean attentions from him lots of good times with him, and q sense of being grown-up. But set- ting down in marriage did not ap- peal to her. She had not yet seen life. And, unless she was certain that she loved h,m, Donald would not consent to betrothal.
 He was queer man. She could not doubt that he cared deeply for her, yet he was quite willing to leave her perfectly free until she knew her own mind. Now, If it had been Richard--
 She smiled as she appreciated the difference between the two men. Richard, were he her lover, would be fearful lest she might care for some one else. He would probably write poetry, or say things so beautiful that they would move her heart to affection. No, it would not be diff ficult matter to fall in love with Richard. Yet, of course, she cared more for her guardian than for the young reformer.
 She assured herself of this again when Rankin's name was announced that evening. She had not heard from Donald today. It was like him tc refrain from thrusting himself uPon her thoughts after last eve nings revelations. He would prefer

A Guidebook of Flirts-
 Male

One of the most difficult things in the world is for woman to tell when a mans attentions mean in tentions, and to be able to make a good running guess as to whether his slove-making will amount to wedding ring, or is just plain hot air.
 The problem becomes particularly baffling at this, season of the year when mems thoughts turn to vaca- tions and philandering; when their raiment breaks out into spots and into action, and when the summer widower is abroad in the land, and is virtually indistinguishable from the sod or grass variety.
 Therefore. it behooves you, daugh- ter, to walk varily, for there are many varieties of masculine flirts, to which maiden lendeth ear at her peril.
 The common or garden variety of masculine flirt is the man who tells a girl five minutes after he meets her that there Is something differ ent about her from any woman he has ever seen. At the end of ten minutes he is assuring her that he has never loved before. In fact, he ras doubted that there is any such thing as love, but the minute she entered the room he knew that he had met his fate. In 15 minutes he IS swearing that life will be a blank if she does not return his unalter- able affection, and by 20 minutes after he Is almost on the verge of a proposal Almost, but not quite.
 The love-at- first sight flirt is a fast worker, but he is dangerous only to the very young and trusting. The sophisticated have met him. too often.
 Another hardy prennial in the flirt garden is the man who tells ev- cry woman he meets what beautiful eyes she has, and what wonderful hair. and what a marvellous figure. He is also innocuous because there are few women who care to have their points specified as If they were prize cattle.
 But beware, daughter. of the man who talks to you of your soul in stead of your body.
 Perhaps the reason that the favorite indoor sport of women is vivisecting themselves is because they so seldom get chance to in- dulge in 1t. The minute a woman

 How in the world did Raggedy Andy escape from you?" Raggedy Ann asked.

 Therefore, daughter be on your guard against the picturesque sinner; He will appeal to your curiosity and your love of adventure, and that something primeval in every feminine breast. It will flatter your vanity to think that any man re gards you as a saint and that his salvation lies with you. Also it makes you feel nice and plous to promise to pray for man, but when you do, you are past praying for yourself Reflect that most of the men who pretend to be desperate characters are really quite harmless creatures, and, anyways, there is small profit to woman in making of herself reformation institution.
 Then there's the flirt who puts his faith in cave-man stuff, He af- fleets to despise women as sex. He belittles their achievements. He scoffs at their opinions. He calls them dolls. toys. puppets, and he an
  an he will take her by strong arm methods, whether she wants to marry him or not.
 Ware the cave-man, daughter. He is always flourishing his stone hatchet and threatening to grab some maiden by the hair of her head and drag her off to his lair. And, curi ously enough the girls sit around he daIipin1fu ehiUer n being grabbed instead of doing the grabbing themselves. But 1t seldom comes off The cave-man is mostly bluster and big noise and hasn't even a two by-four flat to which to take a wife or soupbone to put in the pot.
 To the married flirt who tells you that his wife does not understand him, and who means why oh why, did he not meet you in time, listen not, oh, daughter. Flirting with married man may have it's charm, as playing with fire does, but it also has the risk of burning your fingers.
 Playing the love game with a man who has a wife is playing with stacked cards. and you are bound to lose in the end.
 Of the he-vamp who seeks to monopolize you, and the one who condescends to you; of the one who says it with flowers and candy, and the one who quotes poetry in the moonlight; of he who languishes at your feet and the one who brags about what he Is and does, I need not speak. There are many men, and each has his own little method of love making.
 Amuse yourself with them all. daughter, but listen only to the one who names the day when he tells you that you are the first and only woman he has ever loved. All of the others are con men.
