THE CITIZEN', Kill DAY, JULY 20, 1010. THE WHITE SATINRIBBON. Token That Figured In the Woo ing of a Volunteer Nurse. By AGNES G. BROGAN. Copyright, 1310, by American Press Asso- elation. As tho train sped on in tho darkness tho girl leaned back and closed her eyes wearily. She was sorry now that sho had decided to come, for she had grown so tired of these thoughtless, pleasuro loving people tired of their ldlo amusements. But anything bad eeemed preferable at Uio time to tho desolate loneliness of tho place sho had left. A trainman walking through the car called tho namo of n town In a sing song voice. Tho girl sat up suddenly and consulted her watch. They were "003IE UEREl" SAID THE DOCTOH. due to arrivo at 8:15 o'clock, and it was now Just 8:10. Tho train slowed down, and she left the car. "If you are expecting friends to meet you," said the station agent gen ially, "you might sit down and rest a bit All trains are delayed tonight" "Tho Marshall carriage was to call for me," the girl explained. "May I use tho telephone?" "Never heard of them in Minning ton," said the station agent, "but there's a family called Marshall in the town above." The girl looked up iu consternation. "So this is MInnlngton," she said slow ly. "I should have gone on to the next town. Is there another train out to night?" Tho man shook his head. The girl sighed reslguedly. "Then I shall have to spend the night here." The station agent regarded her curi ously. It was seldom that he had seen so lovely a face. The gray gown that she wore was exceedingly plain, and her features were almost hidden by a heavy veil, which lent to her an air of mystery. The door was thrust open suddenly, and, a man entered, stamping the snow from his heavy tdpboots. lie wore a fur overcoat, and the frost was glis tening upon his short whlto beard and bushy eyebrows. Ho looked about sharply and then advanced toward her. "Glad that you aro here," he said shortly. "Get ready al once, please. There Is no time to lose.." "Good evening, doc," called out the station agent. The girl hesitated. "You were ex pecting some one?" she asked. "Certainly," the man replied in bis curt way. "I am Dr. Green and wired to tho city for n nurse on a hurry up case. She was to arrivo upon the 8 o'clock train." He looked at her ques tloulngly. "The nurse must have disappointed you," the girl responded, "for I was the only person who left tho train at Miunlngton." "It's more than a disappointment," tho doctor snid gruffly. "This is a ques tion of life and death. A boy over there on the hillside needs skilled care to night. I don't know of a woman that I could call upon iu this town, If there was time to waste in searching for one." The light of a sudden resolution slionc in tho girl's eyes. "I will go with you," sho said. "Although not a train ed nurse, I bavo been constantly car ing for a patient for over six months. I have had experience, you shall see. Together we may save the boy's life." Tho doctor gavo her ouo long search ing look, then brought tho cloak that she had discarded and held It out for her. "Come on," bo said. When he had wrapped tho fur robes about her and tho cutter went flying down tho hill tho girl spoke. "Will you tell mo about ourpatient?" sho askdi. "Not much to tell," the doctor an swered. "He was following a nasty trail near the mines tbbj afternoon bo works ovor there-nnd thought to uavo tlmo by jumping a trench instead of going around it. That's youth. Well, ha broke his arm and cut hia head, which will glvo us tho moot trouble tonight, for ho has been unconscious ever since. Wo carried him to tho nearest cottage, where an old woman Urea with her rheumatic fcusband, and thi-y nrc both nboul us inu-h help In o cnso of this kind us as two chll drcn. Your Job will not bo an easy one, Miss Miss" "Gray," said the girl promptly "Eleanor Gray. It Mas too bad they could not bavo taker hlui to tbc hos pital." "Hospltnl!" the old doctor burst out fiercely. "Wo haven't such n thins In Mlunlngtou. When tho men nro sick I wo let them get along as well as thoy I can In their miserable homes. When 'they aro cut and injured wo caro for j them in the surgery as best wo may. Old Hcrriott, tho millionaire mlno own or, has always been too busy1 adding to his own dollars to think much of tho comfort of tho men who work for him." "Pardon mo," said the girl. "Aro you tho regular mine physician?" "Yes," answered tho old doctor. "I haven't grown rich over It," ho chuc kled, "but there nro other things in this world besides money. Why, I know every man. woman and child in tho place. 'My people, I call 'em. I had a wife and a daughter who might have been about your ago bad sho lived, but now there's only 'my peo ple' left Nothing could part mo from them. Whoa, Itube," called suddenly, and the girl saw a light streaming from the window of a llttlo cottage al most buried in tho snow of tho hill side. A man's tall figure lay motionless on a bed at tho farther end of tho room as they entered. Ills brilliant black eyes shone unseeing from beneath a bandage which was wound around his head. ' "Come here," said tho doctor, "as , quickly as you can." "If don't caro whether you are a trained nurse or not," said tho doctor on leaving; "you aro a good one." When sho resumed her duties in tho white ribbon about her dark hair in lieu of tho nurse's cap. "You are so much better." she said to her patient In true professional style. "Did the doctor send for you laat night?" he asked curiously. "He brought mo himself from the station," sho answered." "And I shall call you" "Miss Gray." said tho girl "Eleanor Gray." I He was a very tractable patient, but never had mere ueen so mouei a nurse. She anticipated his every want read to him when that was allowable and wrote a laboriously dictated letter or two which evidently referred to his work to some "Jack" at the mines. "You are getting better fast, Dick," was the doctor's greeting each day. As sho removed the bandage from bis closely cropped head one morning sho said, "You are pronounced conva lescent and will require the services of a nurse no longer, so I am leaving to day." "Today!" cried the man. "But I can't let you go, Eleanor." Uncon sciously he spoke her name. She was silent Tho man sighed. "I suppose you must return to your people," he was beginning. "I bavo no people," tho girl inter posed. "My mother died when I was a child, my father not long ago." "Eleanor," said tho man, speaking rapfdly, "this is not the time or the place, I know, but soon I' will follow you wherever you may be to ask you to be my wife. If it is to be yes, Eleanor, won't you tell a poor invalid to help him on to recovery? If It must be no," he laughed shortly, "you might as well finish me now." He was holding the girl's two hands In bis strong one as she bent over him with tear dimmed eyes and smll Ing Hps. "IUcliard," she said softly, "would you marry an unknown girl who Is quite ulone in tho world?" "I would marry you," be answered Anally, "and my greatest happiness would be In the fact that you were dependent upon mo for everything." "Kor everything," sho repeated slow ly. She walked to tho doorway, then looked back at him. "It is to be yes, Kichnrd," she said, half laughing, half crying. "Ueuiernbor that it Is to be yes." When be had fallen asleep upon his couch during the afternoon the girl entered the room softly. She was wearing her long cloak, and tho heavy veil again almost concealed her face. She placed n little note upon his pil low, laid beside It the soft white ban deau that she had worn in her hair, then passed quickly Into tho kitchen, where the old woman sat dozing be fore the lire. "Good by. Hannah," she said and left something shining in tho roughened palm. The doctor was Just sturtliig upon his round of afternoon calls when she eu tered. "I am leaving by the next train and wish to ask a favor," sho said. "It was you who brought mo from the station. Now. will you tako me back?" "We shall miss you," ho said. "Is the boy reconciled to tho loss of his nurso?" Sho was silent until tho horso bad started upon bis way. "I want to tell you," sho said, "that IUchnrd has ask ed mo to bo his wife. I did not know that tho world could hold so much happiness, but when I havo gone you will learn that I havo been an impos tor, deceiving you all, and hia prido will not let him marry me. Then you mast go V him" she laughed un steadily "and plead my causo as elo quently as you can. But send him to me. Promise mo you will do that" "I don't know what all this nonsense nbout being an impostor means," tho doctor answered, "but If somo fool notion Is going to prevent that young idiot from marrying you, why, wo will certainly send him to you If wo havo to chloroform him in order to do It" The girl laughed, but tears were dinting on her lashes, "It was not all' a fabrication that 1 told yon In tho Station," she said. "My own father was tho patient that I hud been nurs ing for sir months before his death. Ho would have no other aid, nnd, though you found n nurse that night, mlno has been the greater benefit, for you have taught me to And myself." "Wo shall miss you," tho doctor re peated, nnd no moro wns said until they stood In tho doorway of tho llttlo itation. As the great train came rum bling toward them sho thrust a scaled envelopo Into his hand. "Goodby, my doctor," sho said softly. Ho waited until ho could seo her smiling faco no more, then climbed wearily back Into tho sleigh. When ho opened the envelbpo two checks fell upon the lap robe, nnd tho sum of money they represented seemed enor mous. Presently ho found a note: Dear Doctor Tho larger check Is to be used for tho erection of a new hospital, which will bo planned and built exactly according to your directions. I will be pleased to forward moro money as you may need It, and my business manager will call upon you tomorrow, so there need bo no delay In carrying out your wishes. You are both urged and com manded to purchase with tho second check all electrical appliances, etc., which would bo helpful to you In your own pri vate ofllce. Hoping that you will keep me Informed of tho needs of "your people," always your friend, ELEANOR GRAY HERItlOTT. The doctor stared blankly before him. "Old Herrlott's daughter," ho muttered "tho great mlno owner's daughter." A sudden molsturo ap peared upon his spectacles, so he took them oft and drew a gloved hand across his oyes, then gathered up the reins and clucked to the horse. "How do, doc?" called tho station agent. Tho doctor looked back, nnd his face was shining like -that of a boy. "We are going to havo a new hospi tal, Joe," ho cried. "What do you think of that-a new hospital?" The cutter went llylng down tho hill behind old Rube, then tolled slowly up again until it stopped nt tho whlto cottage door. Richard's face was very pale as the doctor entered, and his dark eyes shono out weirdly. Tho doctor seated himself for a long argument "Well, she has gone," ho begnn. "Old Herrl ott's daughter, boy who would havo guessed at that?" "I know," said Richard Impatiently. know. How soon can you fix me up to follow her?" Eh?" said the doctor, his eyes open ing wide. Evidently urging and plead ing were unnecessary here. "In two or three days if you obey orders," he answered. And so it happened that Just three days afterward Richard waited in the reception room of Elea nor's home and frowned at the very evident display of wealth about him, wondering if the girl whom ho had loved for her simplicity could bo quite the same in such surroundings. A rus tle of silken skirts caused him to turn abruptly. A tall, imposing young wo man entered the room. "Have you a message for Miss Hcr riott?" sho asked. "I am her secre tary." Richard hesitated a moment then thrust his hand Into a coat pock et and drew forth a crumpled whlto satin ribbon, tho one that the little nurso had worn In her hair, ne smil ed. "Will you take this to her. She will understand." The secretary betrayed no surprise at this strange manner of announce ment, and once moro he was alone. Slowly the moments passed until at length tho heavy curtains at tho lower end of tho long room were parted, and Eleanor stood there, diffident, wide eyed as a child fearing punishment. He saw that she was wearing the fa- ELKAKOn STOOD THERE, DIFFIDENT. miliar gray gown. Tho man held out his arms and called her name. She came to him swiftly, silently. "IUchnrd," sho nsked, "can you for give tho deception? At first It was only a whim, and then then I longed to bo loved for myself alone." Tho man smiled down nt her tender ly. "And you would marry plain Dick, tho miner?" he said. "Tbcro has been a little misunderstanding there, too, Eleanor. I am a civil engineer. Wo have carried out a pretty big contract back thcro in tho hills, but now a much greater opportunity offers. It may mean a long and venturesome Journey, nnd I shall need my little nurso all tho way. Will you go with me, dear?" Tho girl raised a radiant, smiling face. "To tho end of the world," she said. fi i i i it i tmi sim i CHASE EXCITES. Interest Deepens in Pursuit of Dr. Crippen Over Ocean. REPORTED ARRESTED ON SHIP. Montrose Will Today Probably Bs In Wireless Communication With This Side peculation as to Events Aboard Vessel. London, July 20. What Is going on aboard the steamship Montrose, in which Dr. Ilnwley II. Crippen and Ethel Lcucve are supposed to be sail ing to Canada, Is today the subject of lively speculation iu London. If tho fugitive suspect in tho Bcllo Eluioro murder mystery Is really on the vessel It Is expected that the pas sengers will hnve strange tales to toll of tho voyage when they land iu Mont real next Sunday. The London Express publishes a cir cumstantial story of the arrest of Dr. Crippen and Miss Lcneve on board tho Montrose. According to this paper, on 'Friday the couple were overheard dis cussing thou escape, and the captain of the steamer then communicated with Scotland Yard and on Saturday decided to nrrest the couple. Dr. Crippen was searched and de prived of n revolver and cartridges nnd a penknife. He demanded to know wlint offense be wns charged with and wns Informed thnt he had contravened tho law by giving an as sumed name and traveling with a wo man in the guise of a boy. As he wns unable to produce proofs that Ills name was Robinson or that the woman wns his wife, he and tho girl were placed under arrest In sepa rate cabins nnd watched day and night. Miss Leneve, it is ndded, dented all knowledge of Mrs. Crlppen's murder and threw herself on the captain's protection. An officer of the Montrose nnd a seaman keep watch over Crippen, while a stewardess lias been placed In charge of Miss Lcneve. Crippen is said to have declared ho can prove his Innocence, but every precaution Is taken to prevent him from committing suicide. Definite Information Today. Montreal, Que., July 20. The O. P. R. steamship officials at Montreal suited that they had not yet received any Information respecting the report thnt Dr. Crippen was on board the steamer Montrose. They expect to get into communication with tho ves sel by Mnrconlgram today when they may receive definite information re specting the report. Tho Montrose Is expected to dock nt Quebec on Friday next. Tho pilot will go on bonrd the steamer at Father Point and he will be accompanied by police officers. Under no circumstances are passengers allowed to land at Father Point so if nn arrest is made the prisoner will be brought on to Quebec. The ship will reach Montreal probably on Saturday night. Interest Is Intense. Ottawa, Out, July 20. Montreal de tectives nnd Canadian police every where are on the alert for Dr. Crippen and his stenographer, wanted In con nection with tho Crippen murder. The attention of all Europe is focused on Canada. Interest In the Jeffries-Johnson tight wns great here, but Is entire ly eclipsed by the dramatic develop ments of this case. Antwerp, July 20. The two passen gers on the steamer Montrose, which sailed from hero July 20 for Montreal, who have been the object of tnluuto Inquiries by the London police, were booked nt the steamship office as John Itoblnsou nnd John Uobluson, Jr. Tho elder person gave their ages as fifty and seventeen years.

Cashier ErwIrJVlder, Who Has Con fessed to Tneft of $80,000 and Who Will Plead Guilty, Is Still Hiding. Now York, July 20. Tho announce ment that the thefts at the New York agency of the Kusso-Chlneso bank really totnl approximately $000,000 in stead of $80,000, as was first reported, Is today believed to be only tho be ginning of a series of sensational ex posures In connection with the steal ing of the bonds nnd securities of tho concern. It appears that Erwln Wider, tho cashier who has confessed that he took considerably more than $80,000 worth of securities, In not held by tho bank to be responsible for the theft of tho whole nmount "You know thnt other persons are concerned in this besides Wider," said t Mr, MnrkowskI, and a moment later he added: "I want to make It clear that nny one concerned with Wider in I those thefts Is entirely unconnected I with tho bank." I Although the Inspector was not will-1 Ing to amplify this remnrk, his state- j tnent In Itself confirmed belief In the financial district thnt a complete lnves-' ttgatlon Into the affairs of the local I agency may follow nt the request of men In this country who are Interested 1 In seeing whether there hns been any wrongdoing on a large scale by several persons. It has been learned thnt such ' a suggestion Is being formulated and ( that It will be addressed to tho Bus- 1 shin minister of finance. Ills repre- -s-entatlve In this country Is Gregory Wileukln. finnnclnl ngent of the im- -perial Russian government, whose of-' flee Is In New London, Conn. A simultaneous request will probably be sent to Edounrd Noctzlln, chief offi cer of the Itusso-Chinese bank and also head of the Hank of Paris and tha Low Countries. He Is In Paris, and ho was one of the organizers of the Itusso-Chlr.ese bank In 1895. It was s'-ited by one familiar with the bank's history that a month ago It absorbed the Hnnqtie du Nord of St. Petersburg, but that the combination had not been considered n very successful step and that a reorganization seemed quito probable; also that the conditions which permitted a theft of $000,000 would b" investigated. .Wider, the cashier.

A verdant local reporter whose pro pensities Incline to daring rather than to Judgment and -whose ardency In the quest of news is one of his marked characteristics approached a Judge of the United States district court and so licited a llttlo advance information on a case in progress in tho Judge's court "You see, Judge," said tho youngster to tho astonished Jurist, "wo go to press in a few moments, and wo all know your inclination to do a news paper man a favor." Tho venerable man eyed the youth sternly and said slowly and emphat ically: "Yes, young man, I'll do you a fa vor this time, aud you will seo that you don't ask me again." "That's fine, your honor. Thanks, very much. Just a few lines will do." "I will do you this favor. I shall not send you to Jail this time, but If you ever approach mo again with such a question your friends will not seo you for somo tlmo." Tho discomfited reporter retired ru minating on tho mysteries of tho law and the dignities pertaining to tho Ju diciary. Phlladclpha Ledger. Out of Her Reach.

"If the man who ligured out the length of a week was referred to as a weekllng?" "Sure," said the boob. "They also called the man who discovered Ink an Inkling." Whereupon the driver from 'tho asylum backed his wagon up and tho pair were dumped in. Is Your Blood Pure?
