The mother. Mrs. Mnry Duerr is in a serious condition In the Episcopal Hospital. Too young to realize the meaning of It all, yet old enough to grasp and re member the tragic facts shb witnessed, the child has been almost Inconsolable. For a few minutes she would satisfy herself with her dolls unci her plav thlngs, or she would laugh at the ca naries singing gnyly over the dining room table. Theji she would remember. With a pitiful little catch in her voice she would turn to her half sister, Miss Mav Haines, who is, caring for her, with tho old plea : "I want mommie. She "got hurtcd. T saw her. And thev took her away. Won't she come lionv?" Over and over again sho repeated tho details of the trugedy she saw, "My poppy shot monnnic fAur times, ' she said in her childish voice. "And her thumb was hurted. And poppy shot soine moro and he fell dowu ion the walk." Thn child had gono to n grocery store at Sixth uhd Cumberland streets with her mother yesterday afternoon, when Christian Duerr followed and shot the woman from whom ho had been sep arated three years. "Mamma has been frail and sieklv for a long time," said her elder daughter, "but she must have a wonderful con stitution after all. for she has not lost consciousness u single instant. That is what makes me hope she will get well. "I don't know why Duerr followed her so. She never had anything to do with him the last three years, nor with any man. ''And he drove her nearly mad with his constant pestering. Scarcely n day passed he did not fol low her or try to talk .to her. Mamma and I together hnve been taking enre of Frieda, both of us working most of the time. And now I'll take care of Frieda, for I don't suppose mamma would be able to work again for a long time. "I want the child to be happv, but I know she will never forget what she saw yesterday. Eveu with her thumb shot, mamma clung to Frieda. I think she believed Duerr wanted the child." The sun coming through the window f;uvo a golden sheen to little Frieda's lair as she sat on the floor with her dolls. Sho turned as her sister spoke, her blue eyes alight. "Santa's going to bring me a teddv bear Christmas, isn't he?" she asked. Then, slowly, wondcriugly: "Where's mommie?"

But Daniel Lane remains firm. It's his ticket and he's not going ro sell it. Ordinarily it's a long, tiresome ride to Chicago, but this time he doesn't think it will be so long or tiresome as usual. The only plan he seems to favor at all is that of the "Community Ticket," which some of the enterprising young westerners at the University have pro posed. The Idea Is to sublet the cov eted chair for different short periods of the trip, say, from Lancaster to Ilarrlsburg ($8, plus war tax), or from Altoonn to Klttanning Point (J4.C0 plus war tax). Most of the reservations on tbe trip have been taken, but a few good ones, as from Mansfield to Cresflckl.

Tho par value of th"3 ticket scarcely wavered, however. "I'd sort of liko to have n couple of fellows along with, me, though." Lane said this morning, "because it'p a little hard to break In on a crowd of young things like that," "But," he smiled contentedly, "I guess I can. stand it."

Now the story goes thnt after all It is not Wood, but it mny be Lowden, for whom Mr. Hitchcock has collected his bagfull of delegates from the South. Rumor is busv with Mr. Hitchcock. It takes two forms. One is that the Lowden people have "the greatest po litical manipulator" and offered him !?."i0,000 to manage tho Lowden ram nnlcn. This would wean that a par ticularly woolly surface was offered to a particularly adhesive personality. The other rumor is that Mr. Hitchcock has offered his services to the Louden peo ple and not found them chilled steel. There is no question of the existence of these two rumors. But there Is an explanation of them, a probable one at least, namely, that some one has cir culated them with the intent to put the fear of Hitchcock into the heart of Mr. John T. King or General Leon ard Wood. Mr. Hitchrock, has not yet had to make a second choice, and Gov ernor Lowden would be a second choice. King, Too, Is Ambitious Attaching himself to the Hughes movement was much easier to Mr. Hitchcock than has been attaching himself to the Wood movement, for the simple reason that iu the early stages of the Hughes movement there was no official manager, no one with whose elbow room Sir. Hitchock would inter fere. William R. Wlllcox came later. When Mr. Willcox came there was Mr. Hitchcock inseparably adhering. And there had to be room about na tional headquarters for these two great men, Mr. Willcox and Mr. Hitchcock.
