The three diners fingered for only

him. Francis came little further
into the room. His hostess, who had
subsidized into an easychair and was
holding screen between her face and
the fire, motioned him to seat himself
opposite. He did so without words
He felt curiously and ridiculously
tongue-tied. He fell to studying the

the message could not be conveyed by

St. Paul, Minn,, Sept. 23. = The death toll of Sundays storms in Wisconsin and Minnesota today reached se, and the continued iso- lation of many Wisconsin communi- ties caused the fear that the list in that state might be further in- creased.

 Definite plans for systematic re- lief were expected to be made to- day.
 The vicinity about Thorp and Owen, in Wisconsin, still was a tangled mass of debris. and ef- forts were made to reach the heart of that section, which suffered the greatest destruction.
 It was known that 90 persons were injured hut 1t was evident that the number probably would be greatly increased.

 By switching the reunion pro- gram from the afternoon to the forenoon on that date the commit tee also has solved a dilemma for President Coolidge.
