Linsdownc cannot Imagine what It ever

for tho youngsters or oen thoso who nro

lliero nro tho track meets, which were
started July 21 nnd nro being held cery
.Saturday for the boys. The oents nrc 100

uroad Jump, 220-yard dash, shot-put nnd
relay races. Well, thero nro throe of tho
best-looking cups you can see them In tho
windows of tho electric company which
aro to go to tho thrco boys who h.o scored
tho highest number of points In all tho
meets. And medals to tho relay team
having tho highest score. Lots of boys aro
having tho tlmo ot their young lives trying

teiehlng them to bo good all-nround sports.

Hardly nny ouo knew that small part
of the National Guard was going to mob!
Uzo out hero till they were fully encamped
over qn tho hill back of Orifltth Park. And
even now all ono hears of tho khnlil men Is
an occasional buglo noto or tho clump-clump
down tho street of a small group bound
for a hike. And perhaps you may hear
them coming homo In the starlight, pinging
all tho way. Still thcy'ro there, nnd quietly
they're going nbout their great business
You know, after a certain physician vho
Is everybody's friend had left for Fort
Oglethorpe his wlfo got bo homesick for
him that sho just had to send him a special,
delivery letter ovory day. Think how
pleased ho would be to receive theso Important-looking
missives! Well, husband
was quite meek for a whllo and stood them
llko tho soldier ho was, but ono day a
mildly ctploslvo letter arrived for tho fond
wlfo. Said letter read: "For Heaven's
sake, don't send mo any moro special-delivery
letters unless It's absolutely neces
sary. Don't j on know I have to walk a
mile to get each one?" (And ho must havo
HUffeied agonies all the way, Imagining
fires and robberies nnd all sorts of things )
So now the letters aio accompanied by an
unobtrulvo llttlo two-cent damp, which ro

Thero was an embarrasslne pause In
which both were silent. Apparently sho was
nenlnir herself to go on. Presently cour
age came, and sho said:
"Will you tell me, please, what my hus
band's chances arc?"
"Rvery man Is bupposcd to bo Innocent
until he It proved guilty nut first

Murgatroyd sat motionless. His profllo
was toward Mrs, Challoner. It was a clean

no sign of yielding. After a whllo ho looked
up and said:

"It would bo dastardly In me to listen

Murgatroyd roso us if to indicate that tho

watched her intently; but sho did not
moe; she sat rigid as If preparing herself
fer somo ordeal yet to come. All of a

she peered about her onco more, then lean
ing forward over toward Murgatroyd, she
whispered:
"We are alone?
Tho lawyer regarded her with pardonablo
curiosity before ha answered :
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
Mrs. Challoner wrung her hands; she

end she said;

l know you do. Pon't say no women
havo a way of knowing those things" Her
eyes sought his for confirmation. "Am I
not right?"
"I would do anything to win her," ho
spoko up quickly; evidently sho took tho
rest for granted, for sho continued to per
Ccre: "I know that you hae great ambitions;
and with such a. girl nt your sldo thero Is
no tcason why jou should not become a
preit man."
This sudden Interest on her part In mat
ters concerning his future for the moment
tatt ed him .eertheless ho was conscious
of a derlihd sensation of relief that the
rotnersation had taken Ha present course;
nnd her 'words, "with such a girl at your
side," found a wtlcomo In h's heart. On
her part, Mrs. Challoner was becoming
moro and moio composed And nyw. In a
oIco that bcemed to hlm ringing with con
Mctlon, she went on:
'You will hao up-hill work, I know.
Your party Is ngalnst you nnd all that sort
of thing; but, If only for Shirley's sake, I
want jou ou must succeed'"
For homo reason which ho did not at
tempt to explain Murgatroyd found himself
actually confessing to this woman that ho
thought he uVencd to win out.
"It's only money that you lack, I know "
she xentured now "With money they
couldn't keep you down With money of
your own" sho stopped abruptlj ; tho
tension was getting too much for her.
1'icently sho oiled out, "Oh. Mr. Murga-
tiojd, don't you see what I mean, nnd won't
jou help me?"
Rut ho failed to understand her mean
ing and was obliged to ask her to explain
herself. Ho was staling hard at her now.
"Only this, Mr. Murgatroyd," sho said,
meeting his gazo. "I will gio jou $100,
000 to set my husband free !"
Murgatroyd Instantly sprang to his feet.
"You mean to brlbo mo I"
Miriam Challoner cowered before hlm
Sho had not put the matter to him In quite
tho way sho had Intended. Sho was des
perately afraid that she had destroyed all
hopo of success by blurting it out like this.
"I'lcaso don't bo hard on me condemn me,"
sho begged as one before tho Judgment
seat. "I know It's nwful!"
For a full moment Murgatroj-d fastened
his gazo on her face. Then ho walked to
tho door, stepped Inside tho ault nnd satis
fled himself that thoro was no ono there,
looked Into eeij- corner of tho room and
underneath tho tahlo ; and when at last ho
was convinced that ho had taken eery pre
caution, ho came back and stood directly
In front of the woman and told her to repeat
what sho had said.
In fear and ticmbllng sho reiterated her
words :
"I wfU'gUe j-ou ono hundred thousand
dollars to set my husband free!"
"Mrs. Challoner," tho prosecutor nsked,
falling Into his habit of putting fingertip
to fingertip, 'how much money hae j-ou?"
"In all?"
Murgatioj-d nodded.
"In Just a minute "
With a hard look on his face Murgatroyd
watched her pull a llttlo book from a bag,
watched her tako out tho stub of a pencil,
waited whllo sho busied herself in adding
llgure3, waited until at tho end of a short
calculation sho looked up at him and made
kuo,n tho result.
"In all, I have about eight hundred and
sl.xty thousand dollars left."
"What?" exclaimed tho prosecutor, unable
to conceal his astonishment. For slnco ho
had begun his Investigation It had come
to him that Mrs. Challoner's affairs wero
In a bad waj. A moment later ho said,
"And about eight hundred thousand dollars
or so Is "
"All In negotlablo securities," she prompt
ly assured him, "payablo to bearer. I get
sK and seven per cent on somo of them
tho old ones."
"Where aro these securities?"
"In tho Fidelity Safo Deposit xaults."
"In addition to these," went on Muiga
troyd, "j'ou hao your houso on the
avenue?"
"Yes. There's a small equity In It."
Ho raised hl3 ejebrows.
"It Is subject to mortgage, then?"
"Of course," sho answered glibly. "I get
rK per cent on most of my securities and
have to pay only four and a half on my
mortgage. It would hao been foolish to
paj' It off."
Murgatroyd smiled a cold smite.
"You'ro quite a business woman, Mrs.
Challoner."
"I have to be," she acknowledged with a
smllo that was Intensely pathetic.
"And that's all you have?" ho asked a
moment later.
"Absolutely."
"Your house," mused Murgatroj'd, half to
himself, "will tako care of Thome's fee."
"How much will that bo?"
Murgatroyd Jerked his head nervously.
"Thorne? Oh, ho'll tako all ho can get!"
Thero was a short silence which Murgutroyd
suddenly broke. "Mrs. Challoner, j-our at
tempt to brlbo Is no longer an nttempt.
You havo succeeded. I shall set your hus
band frcol"
Mrs. Challoner smiled whllo tha tears
trickled down her cheeks.
"I shall got J'ou tho hundred thousand
dollars right away," bho Bald, as If It wera
a mcro bagatelle.
"Just one moment, please," continued
Murgatroydl;wavlng her back Into her seat,
for she had risen. "I shall, set j'our hus
band freo for eight hundred and sixty thou
sand dollaisl"
Miriam Challoner leaned back In her
chair. Sho seemed to hesitate.
"For everything I have I" sho muttered
half aloud.
Murgatroyd reached over and touched her
on the arm and repeated In tha name tone:
"Everything you hael" And added,
"Surely you did not think that I would sell
mj-self for less?"
"No, no, of course not," she faltered. "I
xvlsh I had millions to glva you. You are a
good man you aro doing a good act"
Murgatroyd shook his head and said
'somewhat impatiently:
"Mrs. Challoner, this Is a business trans
action; let us closa It. You can get those
securities today, I BUppose?"
"Yes," sho replied In the next breath, the
ftush of Joy still on her face.
"Then do bo, please." Ills voice was
hoarse now. "And bring them to me here
wrapped up tn brown paper. You under
stand that nobody must know ftbottt this.
u . u .4t. ' Ia'U tk"
T . ,i ,
Rut Murgatroyd purposely Ignored her
hand nnd abruptly turned away, saying:
"This matter must bo closed nt onco."
And with a confident "I'll bo back In half
an hour." Mrs. Challoner passed out of the
door, which Murgatroyd l.ad softly and
nolselesslj- unlocked.
....
Tho man who presently was brought out
of tho barred anteroom and tnken before
tho prosecutor might havo been -iftny thing
from n floorwalker of a big department
store to a manager of a renowned raths
keller. It was evident from tho manner In
which ho boro himself while under the
constant surveillance of tho minions of
tho law that ho was perfectly ot home In
the presence of strangers, and that un
usual situations did not feczo him. In tho
matter of general adornment of the person,
however, l'emmlcan of tha low brow was an
exception to his class' no diamond blazed
from his shhtfront or fingers; moreover,
ho was dressed in tho most somber of
blacks, nnd under his soft felt hat of tho
samo color tho hair was brushed forward
with cciuptilous care. Tho long, thin,
smooth-shaven face, tho little, deep-set eyes,
the nbnormnllj low brow, which was accen
tuated by this odd arrangement of his hair,
the pastj complexion, all gave ono tho Im
pression of dignified sleekness. In other
words, one could easily have pictured the
man as performing In a most Impressive
manner tho last offices needed by man
hero below. To sum up, tho nttltudo of
tho man now waiting for tho prosecutor to
nddress hlm Pemmlcan of the low brow
nlwaj-s knew his place produced the effect
of distressed meekness.

PUT PASSAGE OF F00P
BILL UP TO SENATE
House Leaders Ready to Send
Conference Report
Through
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.
Responsibility for further delay in enact
ing the food-control bill will rest with tho
Senate, Houso leaders declared today.
Tho Houso met determined to adopt tho
conference report. Although thero wero
promises of caustic criticism of soma fea
tures of tho bill, Chairman Leve'r asserted
thero was no doubt about Its acceptance.
Tho Houso has emerged victoriously In
two respects from tho conference with Sen
ato managers. Its conferees obtained tho
eliminate from tho bill of the congres
sional war committee, unalterably opposed
by President Wilson, and the Senate amend
ment creating a three-member foojl control
board This leaves tho way clear for Her
bert C. Hoover alone, as desired by Mr.
Wilson.
Rut the offsets to tho House victory are
so Important that Senato leaders assert the
result of tho conference was a draw. They
point to tho House's acceptance In slightly
modified form of tho Senate prohibition
amendment. Whereas tho House originally
proxlded a "bone-dry" clause In tho bill. It
emerged from conferenco only slightly modi
fled from tho form In xvhlch It passed tha
Senate. The manufacture of distilled spirits
Is forbidden, tho President recedes dis
cretionary authority to limit tho manufac
ture of malt and x'Inous liquors nnd may
commandeer for public uso spirits In or out
of bond. Tho other principal concession by
tho Houso xvas acceptance of tho Senate's
$2 a bushel mfilmum for wheat.
Tho Houso appeared to bo resigned to
giving up tho congressional war committee
proxlded In a Senato amendment when It
became known a moxemont Is afoot to press
that Idea In a separate measure. Oratory
against tho elimination of the war commit
tee xvlll delay final xoto In tho Senate.
