At tho "imperial palace" of tho order tho mind that spun tho vrebs of Klan mummery, judging from tho writings of "Emperor" William Joseph Simmons himself, was careful to keep at least two objects always in view. One was to gather undor tho "Fiery Cross" as many hundreds of thousands of persons as would part with $10 apieco for "naturalization" and who would bind themselves by oath of allegianco to ho "Emperor and Imperial Wizard." The other object was to keep the Klan a cohesive whole, welded together for tho purposes Simmons has in mind and to guard against the danger of rival orders springing from tho Klan itself and snatching at the dollars rolling along in a truly imperial flood. w , As proof of the nrst object, there IB tho oath taken- by candidates for il Klannish knighthood before a "sacred altar," in tho presence of hooded '& arid gowned "Terrors" and in the flickering light of a blazing cross. nBV nrHt aa a . 1 !Jf Aft a. 11 HI i ait ;5y "Sirs, says ine masKca presiding omcer to ine canaiaaies, nave you '. ...umArl i.tMintif mntitat roourvnflnn vmll nnfn nf n1TnrtciTin tn flin Tnvlot. iTAiU.

When the boy wns taken into the hospital he wns still partly conscious. He wns murmuring nnd muttering, al most Incoherently. He is n Catholic, and a priest was sent for to gtvc him tho last sacraments, for death seemed then but a matter of minutes. When the priest came, tho boy was propped up on the operating table, nurses at ench side. Ho opened his eyes and murmured distinctly: "I know who did it : I know who did it." Tho priest ndministcred tho sacra ment, which tho boy accepted. Then he was given a drink of water, fed him spoonful by spoonful. After a few sips he waved tho spoon nway. "I Know Wlw Did It" "I know who did it," ho said again. Tho doctors nnd nurses bent to catch the name. Ho murmured something several times, then tho eyes closed, and once more ho wnB unconscious.

Lloyd George, in tho final parn- graph of his last letter, said: His Majesty's Government must, there fore, ask for a definlto reply as to whethor you nro prepared to enter a conference, to ascertain how the as sociation of Ireland with tho com munity of nations known as tho British Empire can best be reconciled with Irish national aspirations. Do Vnlera in his reply also says: "In this final note wo deem it our duty to reaffirm that our position Is, and can only be, as we have defined it through this correspondence. Tho principle of government by consent of tho governed must be tho basis of any agreement which will achieve a final reconcilia tion." Continuance of negotiations with the British Government is believed to de pend largely upon tho report submitted to Do Vnlera and his colleagues by Harry Boland nnd Joseph McGrath, the couriers sent to Gnirloch on Monday with Do Valcra's reply to Prime Min ister Lloyd George. Tbo two couriers nre exnectcd to lnv beforo tho Irish Republican leaders the explanations given by tho Prime MIn lster of certain features of his lntest noto to Dublin, nnd there was optimism that tho five plenipotentiaries named by tho Dail Eircann yesterday to carry on the parleys with Lloyd George would go to Inverness soon. There wns a possibility, however, that the renort of Boland and Mc Grath would be such thnt there might bo a break, at Ioast for a time, in the conversations that have been going on for tho lost two months.
