cretly they were afraid of her charms
and uncertain Of their own and each
was hoping the young man, Ned Burr
by name, would pay them some atten-
ton, dance with them on Saturday
nights, talk to them as they knitted.
But Mrs. Cole seemed to monopo-
lie him, and then appeared a young
and charming girl. The ladies con.
ferred upon 1t and they decided that
that selfish Cole woman wasn't 60
ing to hurt this girls feelings, for
obviously she and the young man were
interested in each other and she, too,
was boarding at Mrs. Coles.
1t would be just like the Cole wom-
an, the ladies decided, to selfishly d.
rect the mans attentions to herself.
Women were so designing. And
when they found that the young and
charming girl was Mrs. Coles own sis
ter they were angrier than ever. She
would even ruin her own sisters
chances for happiness to satisfy her
own vanity-or perhaps she wanted
to marry him herself. Perhaps widow.
hood did not appeal TO her.
And so the ladies did all they could
to leave the young girl and Ned Burr
alone. When they met them walking
they went In another direction. When
they saw Mrs. Cole they talked to
her so as to leave the others alone
And before her sister left and be
fore Ned Burr left they whispered
Don't mind what any one else says
Elopel Be happy, you two dear 70
mantle things"
They had left on Christmas day on
the same train together. They had
limited they might elope. The ladies
were thrilled. Yes, in the past two
weeks the ladies had done great deal
to help along a beautiful love affair.
But that Christmas night one OF |

holidays, they had no time together. as
everyone made them join this game or
that dance or this group. And so
they decided Ut was Mrs Coles ideal
that they would pretend they were

of them. and so they would have a

SPLIT IN KHAN RANKS .FORESEEN BY SIMMONS
Emperor Bitterly Attacks Evans
 And Adherents

ATLANTA, Ga, August 2S.-The possibility of a split in the ranks of the Ku Klux Klan which will end the quarrel among it's present lead CTS through the elimination from the order of Imperial Wizard Hiram w.. Evans, and his adherents, was fore seen in statement Tuesday by Will jam J. Simmons, founder and emper- or of the klan.
 Simmons, who Monday bitterly att tackled Evans and the klansmen in volved in the Carnegie, Pa, riots, as American" expressed the be- lief that the end of the present ad- ministration of the affairs of the order is in sight and announced he would confer with F. Y. Clarke on the question of a general house cleaning and reorganization"
 He connected this prediction with the chartering late Monday of The American Krusaders," in Little Rock, Ark, by James A. Conner, H. c. Mo- Call and Fred L. Clifford. Conner is cyclops of the klan in Little Rock and all three men are supporters or Evans.
 Perhaps these men are discover ing that the bed upon which they lie is too short for them to stretch on and the covering too narrow with which to wrap them about" Simmons suggested.
 T am driven to the conclusion that the present administration has begun to make for itself other and more comfortable beds upon which to lie"

NEGRO LEAGUE FL0PS OVER TO DEMOCRATS
President Patterson Claims Repub-
 licans Broke Faith

CHICAGO, August 2S.-To break down the traditional loyalty of tho colored population to the republican party, S7 delegates of the National Negro Democratic league, in session here, today voted to organize an all-negro political association and to throw the new society's support to the democrats.
 The league will drop the party name. according to Major A. F. Pat. terson, president, of Chicago, and will open its membership to all col ored voters.
 "The republicans have not carried out their campaign promises to tha colored voter" Major Patterson de- clared.
 The colored delegates urged the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, advocated a constitutional amendment making lynching a federal offense. Resolu- tions will be presented protesting against the appointment of Bascom Slemp as secretary by President Coolidge.

WALL STREET IN BETTER MOOD AS RUHR CLEARS BIT
Foreign Affairs Play Major Part In Favorable Attitude
 Of Wall Street
By WALTER B. BROWN New York Commercial

NEW YORK, August B. Taken altogether. Wall street was inclined to take a favorable view of the days developments, more particularly with reference to foreign affairs. Bel giums' note to Great Britain, in which she expressed a willingness to sacri- flee 40 per cent of her reparatiCns if 1t would result in a general good was the first offer from any of the allied countries that could be con- sidered distinctly unselfish. Other countries have offered to make sacri- fices but they have all been condi- tional upon some other country mak- Ing a corresponding sacrifice. The real value of the Belgian note from the Wall street point of view, lay in the fact that the allies are striving to find a way out of the difficulty real king that the point has been reached where something has got to be done.
 Another item of interest was the announcement of the virtual recogni- ton Of Mexico which will be an ac complshed fact as soon as certain preliminaries are complied with. The recognition of Mexico has been de- layed too long, partly her own fault, and partly because of pernicous prop Rganda by enemies of Mexico in this country.
 
 Important Trade Development,
 It will open up trading possibilities of vast importance and it speaks well for our southern neighbor that she has taken care of her own financing without any help from the outside. There has been much of 8 disposi ton on our part to dictate tO Mexi- co what she should and what she would not do, forgetting that there was such a thing as national pride on the other side of the border. There are TO less than seven lines of rail- way entering Mexico from the United States, and recognition should be fol lowed by an immediate increase in trade between the two countries.
 Governor Pinchot's address to the contendinE parties in the coal contro- Versy, was favorably received, espe- cially the point stressed by him that 1t was not private quarrel, but a three-cornered controversy in which the public was just as much an inter- ested party as either of the others, and even more so.
 The volume of trading in ' todays market was somewhat larger than in preceding days and both rails and induStrials were generally firmer,

BEARISH TONE IS NOTED AS GRAINS AVERAGE LOWER

CHICAGO, August 2S.@All grains averaged lower in price today, lower cables, improved weather conditions and inactivity on the part of export CTS creating a bearish sentiment. At the finish wheat suffered net loss of 7-s to 7-S cents with December 104 7S to 105 and May 11O 5-S to 11O S-4;-corn was off 1-2 to 1 IS cents; oats 1-2 to S-4 down and provisions unchanged to 10 cents higher.
 A break in Liverpool futures, weakness at Winnipeg, crop advices from Canada maintaining last pre- vious estimates of probable yields in addition to a better outlook for the yield in Argentine, because of much needed rains and the forecast for more favorable weather for threshing and marketing, all combln- ed to>. encourage selling. The lower cash market as well as a drop in sterling exchange also aided the bears.
 At the same time, continued indif-) ference on the part of foreign buyers and the reported congested condition of the domestic flour trade served to dampen bullish sentiment. Country offerings were light with receipts here estimated at 475 cars, most Of which was low grade grain.
 Corn was weak in sympathy with wheat futures and the weakness in the cash corn market. Commission house liquidations was on in all de- liveries and the market showed very little rallying power.
 Oats were easier with other grains
 Further advance in the hog market encouraged buying in provisions and prices averaged a little higher.
