PROVIDENCE. KY, Aug. i2.-tPl
Police Of several cities today were

emily was directed, as well as local
officers. telegraphed descriptions of
the plane to surrounding cities. and
a thorough search was started. No

Boston, Sept. 27 UP)-Some- what improved business at depart ment and specially stores is being stimulated by sales at which profits seemingly are disregarded, accord ing to Bradstreet's Weekly Review of local trade conditions issued yes terday.
 "Jobbers of dry goods report quiet conditions prevailing during the past week." the Review said. "A slight improvement has been noted in bus mess by dealers in mems furnishings due to the approach of the fall sea- son, but there has not been any per ing line.

 Business at the department and speciality stores shows a, little lm- provement under the stimulation of sales at which profits are seemingly disregarded.

 No" Dagger was puzzled. Why? I don't need a relative, do I? Is it disrespect able for woman to be without one in France"
 The Princess laughed
 Not at all. But do you not ap- preciate the situation, child?"
 Dagger was more puzzled than ever.
 What situation? ?" she asked.
 De Senac's Tante shrugged her shoulders resignedly.
 But you are not a jeune file! You cannot suppose my Raoul has been impervious to your cbarms?"
 Dagger blushed.
 q know he likes me. And I like him.
 "Ah, likes!" There was signifi- canoe in the emphasis upon the word.
 "Of course, I do" Dagger at tempted note of amused indig- nation. It didn't quite come off "He-he's been very kind to me-"
 More than kind" The Princess s bright, old eyes dwelt almost fond ly upon the flushed face beside her You know, my child-or, seeming ly, you do not know-that this con- versation is quite irregular Things are not managed so in our country, in our class. But Raoul had talked over with me the situation-''
 What situation?" Dagger inter- rupted, dazedly. Between you and him." returned the Princess a trifle impatiently "A man and woman cannot see one another continually without developing a situation. That is patent. And between you and Raoul the situation has reached a climax. He wishes to ask for your hand, but first he desired me to discover if you had relative at hand to whom he might address his desire for permission to make his suit"
 Dagger was caught up by two opposing temptation; to laugh and to cry.
 But I don't love Raoul," she ex- claimed.
 Tut what is love-" retorted the Princess. Any woman could love my Raoul."
 But l don't insisted Dagger T admire him. I like him, 1 respect him - oh. tremendously. But I don't love him."

 How do you know that you would not come to love him ?" the Princess asked quietly. "I knew very little of Rakovsky when We married, but in the course of our life together l came to cherish genuine affection for him."
 Affection" Dagger cried fscorn- fully. T don't want affection. l want love, but no mans love could mean anything to me now. I am through with men-as lovers"
 So you have loved?" the Prin- cess Challenged curiously.
 Yes" Dagger raised candid eyes to her. T have loved, and I am finished with love-" The older woman nodded, as if to herself.
 "Ah, l thought there was an ex- perience behind that poise of yours, my child. But let us not be too serious about it. l say to you only this. My Raoul loves you. He wishes to address you-'
 Well, why doesn't he?" Dagger demanded petulantly. 'I should think he's man enoughsto take a no from me directly instead of at second hand"

OLD INDIAN SCOUT
 PASSES ON AT 86
Might Have Prevented Custer
 Massacre Save for Horse

Kansas City, Sept. o7 'CUP) - Arapahoe Harve, the only white man who could have averted the In- dian massacre of General George A. Custer and his men on the banks of the Little Big Horn, is dead from the effects of broken hip. He was S6 years old and the last of the fa- nous scouts of pioneer days.
 Arapahoe Harve, whose real name was Harvey S. Faucett, was an as- sociate of Kit Carson, Buffalo Bill and other famous scouts. He serv- cd at one time under General Gus ter and only the fact that his horse gave out prevented him from warn- ing the general of the massacre which awaited him in June, 1876.
 Faucett was warned of the mass ing of Indians under Chiefs Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. He was 200 miles away, but started on horse- back to warn Custer. His horse col lapsed after 20 hours of hard riding and before he could get another he learned of the massacre.
 His last scouting was done with the Newton Scientific survey into the Black Hills. The party was at- tackled by Indians and forced to flee. Harve kept the Indians at bay with his rifle, although he had an arrow in his shoulder.
