When Wright reached his office the iSoorning after the ball, he found his Attorney, Arthur Morrison, waiting for Bdm. He had been drawn to Morrison j$he first time he had met him and Jbati asked him to take care of the pa- teert legal business. In this his judg­ ment had not been warped by a sud- ;<Jen friendship, for the young lawyer [was worthy of his confidence. Like [Judge Gilbert, he had risen from an jtiumble home, but unlike the adviser }4>f Belmont corporations he had made jliis way independently of the malign (influences which constantly seem to ^Seek to attract young men of talent «*rho follow the law as a profession. him both as his legal adviser and Ibis friend, Wright had talked freely I Mr i "Are They Going to BulM a Viaduct There r* And had rejoiced to learn that Morri- json's ideals and hopes for Belmont 'Were the same as his own. "Even if you hadn't asked me to watch things with you while yon are Still a stranger to Belmont," Morrison began, "I think I would have come to you. Last night while we were en­ joying ourselves a bill was Introduced In the council for a ear llnfe down Maple Avenue." "I saw an account of it In the Ban­ ner, and thought It Strang* nothing had been made public before it was tntroduoed. Who wants the fran­ chise?" "They're under cover. It's the Bel­ mont Interurban Company, a New Jersey 'corporation, and the men named as Incorporators are only dum- Biles." ̂"That Isn't usual, la it, with honest men ?" ̂ "I don't know any more about It than you do, but you'd better invest] *ate." •;rt "When does the bill have its next 1 Reading?" asked Wright, after consid Vrfgrlng what was the paper's best 4l>ove- "Not until Tuesday night" "That stves lis Ave day*. ' ** * 11$. make a noise wont they call a special meeting and push it through?" "Kerr isn't likely to do that. He's interested, I suppose, but how?" "We'll get busy today," Wright said decisively. "A few pointed questions on the front page may bring them oat from under cover." In the conference which ensued the two men dlocucsad every possible phase of the question, yet they- sever dreamed that it was part'of the stock­ yards scheme. What aroused suspi­ cion as much as anything else was that there was nothing they could find on which to base suspicion. When Morrison left it was with the intention of scrutinizing a copy of the proposed ordinance carefully. Wright sent a reporter to interview Alderman Grunewald, and all other re­ porters were instructed to find out what the public thought of it and any definite facts that could be brought to light The city editor himself took an hour off to go to the office of Rosen- baum ft Rosenbaum, who it was learned had given Grunewald the bill to present for them. The drag net which the News spread did not seem productive of results cal­ culated to bring anything to light Al­ derman Grunewald had introduced it at the request of his good friends Rosenbaum ft Rosenbaum and knew nothing about it Rosenbaum ft Rosenbaum said that the proposed franchise spoke for itself, and that the road would prove of in­ estimable benefit to Belmont, since in the near future it would be extended to Corona, and all the people of that little town and the villages along the line would do their shopping in Bel­ mont. The incorporators were Chicar go men with plenty of capital back of them. Wright telegraphed a Chicago news agency to find out who the Incorpora­ tors were. At his suggestion the city editor tried to get Kerr at Esmeralda Springs by telephone, but was unsuc­ cessful. < Only one clue was found which of itself was suspicious, and it was not one which could be used that after­ noon. The courthouse reporter had dropped into the county surveyor's of­ fice, and talked about surveying in general and the work in Belmont coun­ ty in particular. Was anything going on JustC^^fen? This elicited the reply that the spring was not far enough advanced for the usual work, but that the stock-yards company had had men out What were they doing? They were seeing how they could save their tracks along the river and rearrang­ ing the quarantine tracks for Texas cattle which were by themselves to the east of the main yards. This was all the courthouse man brought back to the office, but it was duly presented to Wright by the city editor. That afternoon Belmont rubbed its eyes as it looked at the front page of the News. In the last column under an extended head was a story about the proposed car line down Maple ave­ nue. It was not replete with facts and figures, but it asked a great many queations and contained several inter­ views which Bald nothing. Even the property owners along Maple avenue who had consented to the line and then been pledged to secrecy until the matter was made public by the intro­ duction of the bill in the council, knew nothing more than that Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum had secured their consent. The Chicago news agency did not send what information it gathered un­ til too late for use on that day. Sam Hayes bought a paper on the street, read the story, and rushed for a telephone. He paid two dollars and thirty cents for the privilege, one could not call it pleasure, of talking with Kerr at Esmerelda Springs. He read the paper to the boss, the front page story and the trenchant short editorial in inquiry. Kerr asked that be be connected with Gilbert, but al­ ready the judge was trying to get Es­ meralda Springs, having seen the News just a few minutes after Hayes. Their conversation was short, Kerr knew the facts, and it was mainly a discussion of how the Banner should treat the matter in the morning. Tie boss decided his paper should insist that the News was trying to knock the town. The attack was to be upon the News, thus diverting attention from the real issue. This command, properly phrased, was dropped into the eager ear of Deacon Wlnthrow. and he proceeded to write a scathing editorial holding up to scorn the pa­ per which would try to barricade the path of the car of progress. Tho dea­ con felt proud of his editorial when he read It In the proof, and was warmed with a self-satisfied glow to think that he had thought of it He still lived in the age of personal Jour­ nalism and to lambast the other fel­ low personally was part of his edito­ rial creed. Before the paper came out, w right telephoned Gloria that he would be un­ able to drive with her but that he would call in the evening. They had reached the point in their fast friend­ ship where she was not unwilling to pout and let him know, how disappoint' ed she was. It was four o'clock when Morrison arrived at the News office with a copy of the, proposed franchise. k» he threw it on the table in Wright's pri­ vate office he exclaimed: "If that goes through, the company <ian do anything according to Its pro­ vision excep* commit murder.'* "I suspected as much," replied Wright. "What right of way have they ?" Morrison went to the map of Bel- . . /jr&i.' mont on the trail and located the city terminus of the proposed line. "Here's where they start on their own tracks," he explained. "You sete, there's a provision in the charter of the Belmont Traction Company where­ by any interurban line can use its tracks into the heart of the city upon payment of a fair rental. Here's the Townsend Park Line coming down Bluff Street, and right here where Bluff Street crosses Maple Avenue-the Interurban'e own tracks will start" "Then how does it run?" "South on Maple Avenue and Maple road, to a private right of way which begins east of the stock-yards and par­ allels the county road to Corona." Wright studied the map earnestly. "You see, I'm too new to know that neighborhood," he said. "Why did they pick Maple Avenue?" . "It's the only street they can use in that part of town. It's the natural artery for that new district out there, since there are hills ̂ on both sides of It.". Wright still puzzled ofrer thfc map. "What are those red lines crossing Maple Avenue about two blocks south of Bluff Street?" was his next ques­ tion. "Those? They are the railway tracks of all the lines entering Belmont ex­ cept those that come down the river from the north." ( "Are they going to build •% Viaduct there?" "Nothing is said about It." The new venture would be a good thing for Belmont--If the company would confine Itself to good works. The most objectionable thing was the lack of frankness on the part of the men back of the enterprise. Here was a corporation seeking to serve the pub­ lic and not taking the public Into ita confidence. >While Morrison and the publisher of the News were canvassing the sit­ uation, a telegram from the Chicago News Agency was delivered to Wright It read: "Hammersley is the private secre­ tary of AdolphUB Koernei\ Koerner ft Co., packers. Others are clerks in law office of Kendall, Strang ft Kendall." "By George!" exclaimed Wright* '"ffie stock-yards company!** Then he remembered what the county surveyor had Innocently told. There could be no doubt of It The stock-yards company was making some move which it did not dare make openly. "It looks like it," assented Morrison. "Have you any idea what they want?" "Not the slightest They're not fighting the traction company, I know." This, thought Wright, explained Gil­ bert's many visits to Chicago recently. The stock-yards attorney had appar­ ently no connection with the new com­ pany, but Wright and Morrison, too, when it was explained to him, were both of the opinion that he waa direct­ ing every move. If he was in it, David Kerr was in it; and if David Kerr was in it he was not in it for his health. In seeking to unravel the tangled skein they now had a loose end to work with. They could not Imagine, however, why the stock-yards com­ pany was entering the street car Held in such a peculiar manner. Wright sat with his chair tilted back against the wall, his hands behind his head, gaslng at the map on the wall opposite. "Morrison* a newspaper man has to trust in many cased to his sixth sense; that's his nose for news, for tho big story. Often he misses fli%, but when he does hit the bull's-eye everybody knows it" Such was Wright's pre­ amble as he brought his chair down o# the floor and prepared to tell the law­ yer what hiB sixth sense had made him feel was the real object of the game. "The stock-yards company la preparing to steal a street" * "What!" gasped Morrison. "What makes you think so?" "Everything See how the river la eating up the only tracks to the stock* yards. They've got to get to the yards farther east Maple Avenue is the easiest way. The franchise says noth­ ing about what kind of cars are to run. how they are to be propelled, or what they are to carry. I'll bet they are going to run cattle cars filled with hogs and shci^p and . cattle down Maple- Avenue, and pull them with steam «n- gines, too." '1 won't believe It," protested the lawyer. "Maple Avenfe la a residence street!" "The stock-yards company is a for­ eign corporation interested only In dividends." "Look at Benton Park!" "Yes, take a good tabfe; you woat want to. In a year from now." "I don't believe It" "Anyway, that's the theory I'm go­ ing on. If it is correct, I've struck the nail on the head with my first guess. If U is wrong, 111 keep ham­ mering away until the public demands and is given the truth. If I'm wrong, then they'll Boon be smoked out. They can't stand being so misinterpreted when asking the public for a favor But I'm right, I tell you. They're go­ ing to connect with the railway tracks where they cross Maple Avenue two blocks below Bluff Street. Such a belt line railway will be extremely valu­ able." It was after six o'clock before they decided to leave the office. As every pro and con of the situation had not been exhausted, they adjourned to the Belmont Club for dinner and there continued puzzling over the franchiae and its meaning. Shortly before eight o'clock Wright drained his coffee' cup and looked across the table at his companion. "Doing anything tonight?" he In­ quired. * "No. Nothing on hand that I know of." "I'm calling on Miss Kerr tonight I want you to go with me; I cant go alone." "I shall be very glad to," replied the young lawyer, successfully concealing his surprise. Wright realized the flght was on. He also knew what Gloria had come to mean to him, and after what they had said last night he was afraid to see her alone. Now his first duty was to the public, that public which so often accepts benefits and sacrifices all unconscious of its own gain and what the cost has been. For the gen­ eral good, for an Ideal, for his belief in what a paper should be, he was put­ ting aside--just for the time, his heart told him--the one woman who could make him supremely happy. The deferring of hope was heavy upon Wright's heart as with Morrison he walked in silence to Gilbert's house. To himself he kept repeating some verses from their "birthday book:" In the twilight we parted. In the nl«ht breken-heartM . We dreamed a sweet dream. . - Then we met and we parted Again broken-hearted. But dreams come again. _ (TO BE CONTINUED.) Golgotha. The one spot which more than any other has controlled the history of Europe lies, strangely enough, not in Europe itself, but in Asia. For the possession of the site where Christ "suffered, was buried and rose again" more blood has been shed than for any other. An Immense number of lives were laid down during the Cru­ sades; and for 600 years before the Crusades, and even to the present time, a constant stream of pilgrims has poured into Jerusalem to worship at the spot made pacred by the cruci­ fixion of Christ. From the fourth century after Christ until fifty years ago this site was generally conceded to be within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Now two sites dispute the claim of being the actual Golgotha. The latter claimant is known as "Gordon's Cal­ vary," though to an American, Dr. Harlan P. Beach of Yale university, is due the actual discovery or It. Gen. Gordon, the hero of Khartoum, having first secured for it general recogni­ tion.--Christian Herald. CDC ^1-' . : - ' •, « WILLING SHE SHOULD HAVE IT Assured That Horse Loved the Mud, Unappreclative 8portsman Made Unfeeling Remark. The tout picked out a tDugh one when he tried to interest a German in the horses. He had steered him against a poker game in which, mirac­ ulously enough, he won. He went back and won, and then announced that he would pjtay no more; the profit sat­ isfied him and he applied it to his yeast business. He B&id frankly that he did not un­ derstand the racing game and all ita involved detalla, but his adviser did not lose heart He got a hold of him from time to time, and outlined con­ jectured profits, showing whit a cer­ tain parlay would have paid the day before. The German listened to this with diminishing patience, hut with no out­ breaks. He waa almost apathetic when the tout said: "Look out of the window--it's rain* lng! Banana Peel la in light today in a soft field, sir, she fairly loves the mud--yes, sir, she fairly fovea the mud." "Lufs the xnudt, dldt you say?" "That's what I said--she loves It** "AH right, gif her some." A nearly similar remark was made on a track when two men who had backed their convictions were watch­ ing the race. Their selection was go­ ing great guns, causing one of them to exclaimj "Pipe that mare in the soft going! Why, she Just eats it up!" As he spoke the mare stumhled and V «. .kC s$, fell to her knees, giving John Bright the cue for this: "Yes, and she's going down for a mouthful of it now." Rode Into River to Death. The suicide of a cyclist who delib­ erately rode at 15 miles an hour down a concrete slope into the Thames at Putney, England, was de­ scribed at an inquest at Wandsworth recently. The victim was Solomon Friedlander, aged nineteen. He had been suffering from consumption. Late on a recent Sunday night a man walking along the towpath at Putney saw Friedlander riding into the river. A policeman named Ladds waded into the water up to his neck with a pole and afterwards iwam out to nearly midstream, but without finding the man, whose body was not discovered until next morning- In' a pocketbook found in. the possession of Frledlan der there was written "Approaching the end." WOMAN'S HOME MISSIONARY SO­ CIETY ELECTS OFFICER8 AT FINAL SESSION. PANA WOMAN RE-ELECTED Hm. Hk tto Haywood Is Named Presi­ dent for the Seventh Consecutive Time--Jacksonville. Selected j for 1914 gathering.

Haywood was elected president for the seventh consecutive ttme. At this meeting it was also voted to meet next year at Jacksonville for the annual conclave in October. Invitation was extended by the Mat- toon district to convene next year in that city, but the vote decided in favor of Jacksonville. In addition to the cor­ dial welcome extended by the three Jacksonville Methodist churches, the convention was given the assurance of the chamber of commerce of the city, a recognition never before extended the women's conference by a body of men. Two delegates were named, Mrs. S. A. Bullard, 318 South Glenwood ave­ nue, and Mrs. H. L. Haywood, the president, of Pana, to attend the an­ nual meeting of the national board of home missions which will meet at Syracuse, N. Y., in October, 1914.

King of Decatur; cor­ responding secretary, Mrs. S. A. Bul­ lard of Springfield; recording seer* tary, Mrs. D. F. Fawcett of Spring­ field; treasurer, Mrs. E. J. Stroder of Decatur; young people's secretary, Miss Elsie Moore of Paris; con­ ference organizer, Miss Olive Dun- lap of Jacksonville; secretary of Home Guards and Mother's Jew­ els, Miss Aileen Day of Moweaqua; mite box secretary, Mrs. A.

Kagy, Tuscola; secretary temperance, Mrs. William Thompson of Springfield; sec­ retary evangelism, Mrs. G. S. Tarbox of Areola; publicity committee, Mrs. J. M. Black of White ]HLall. Upon recommendation from the Na­ tional board which applied equally to all state conferences, it was voted to nominate all constitutional and state officers from the fi^or, Instead of by ballot, as has heretofore been the cus­ tom. Miss Florence Stickel, Springfield, resigned her position as recording sec­ retary, which she has filled for the past four years. In recognition of her faithful service in this office and of her twelve years as secretary of the young people's work, she was made a life member of the Queen Esther cir­ cle. ' Devotional services were conducted by Mrs. E. B. Randle, 1354 Holmes avenue. Bishop Nathali Luccock of Helena, Mont., delivered the closing address, speaking on "Hawaii." The speaker said that the island stands as the great strategic point in the Pacific, the advancd station on the way to the Orient, a training school for western civilization. "The redeeming fact in the life of the island," declared Bishop Luccock, "Is the force for the uplift of wom­ an." He spoke of Suzanna Wesleyan home at Honolulu, supported by the Methodist church, as one of the mag­ nificent educators of the native girls. "Sun Yat Sen, the eminent Chinese statesman, was educated in a mission sohool on the island," said the speak­ er. "We cannot disregard Hawaii, then, for out of her have come great men and women even at this early day In her development." V#omen Voters Ptafi Meet. Illinois suffragists, victorious In their fight for the ballot, will gather In Pana this week to discuss the prob­ lems now confronting them. The meeting will be the forty-fifth annual convention of the Illinois Equal Suf­ frage association and the first since the passage of the woman suffrage law. Some of the subjecta to be consid­ ered as as follows: The responsibilities of the elect!va franchise. Organisation for the efficient use of the ballot The power and responsibility ac­ quired by women through the elective franchise. The civic obligations of the women of Illinois. The relation ef legislative power to social and economic problems. The relation of the vote to every­ day life. Political parties and platforms. Nominating, campaigning and eleo* tion methods. " Political machines and bosses aa^' remedies for legislative evlla. In the call for the convention, offi­ cers of the association voice the fol­ lowing admonition to the delegates: "Come filled with enthusiasm to plan for a great campaign of state co-op­ erative work. The immediate success of those seeking equal suffrage In our sister states and the winning of our cwn full enfranchisement will depend largely upon the record Illinois women make In the use of the ballot We must plan to register the highest per­ centage of women voting recorded In suffrage history. We must plan to ef­ fect and enforce legislation of jus­ tice." The general topic of discussion will be "The Responsibility and Use of the Ballot." Three hundred delegates and the same number of alternates are ex­ pected to attend. United States Senator Lawrence T. Sherman, Lieut.-Gov. Barratt O'Hara and William McKinley, speaker of the state house of representatives, are ex­ pected to be among the men speakers. Leading suffragists of Illinois, ^mong them Miss Jane Addams, also will ad­ dress the gathering. Minstrels ef the Balkans. In Servia and Montenegro alike many blind, lame, or crippled min­ strels eke out a comfortable existence In traveling from town to town with the ancient one-stringed lute and sing­ ing to the peasants the deeds of their fathers and the ancient glory of Servia. From the fourteenth century to the present day every national hero has been immortalized in verse by humble versifiers. The authors of this wealth of epic poetry must forever re­ main unknown, but the verses them­ selves have been preserved, not in the books or upon paper, but in Ike memories of the people. 8eversl Appointments Made. A number of appointments were made by State Auditor James J. Brady to fill vacancies created in his office by the removal of hold-over employes. John K. Sea grave of Litchfield was named chief clerk to succeed Capt. W. H. Eubanks, who has been in office for a number of years. The position pays $5,000 a year. The following other appointments were made: P. A. Johnson, Chicago, assistant chief warrant clerk; John W. Lynch, East St Louis, revenue clerk; Charles A. Centrell, Benton, journal clerk; E. G. Kennedy, 'Chicago Heights, index clerk; Lena Korreckt, Cairo, stenog­ rapher; John H. Fahrig, Alton, stenog­ rapher, and Patrick W. Murray, Springfield, Janitor. To Hold Second Highway Teat Owing to tha fact that 19 counties Of the state have no eligible list from which to select a county highway su­ perintendent, the Illinois highway commission sent out a circular letter calling attention to the provisions of the good roads law which makes it mandatory that a county superintend- be named before any road improve­ ment calling for an expenditure of over $200 can be made and setting a date for a second examination In this city on November 25. Four of the 102 counties in the state failed to present any candidatea at the examination held by the highway commission recently, while no candi­ dates appeared from Alexander and Pope counties, although the county board sent in its selections. The can­ didates selected in 13 counties to take the examination failed to pass. The circular letter sent out by the highway commission to counties fall­ ing to send candidates Is as follows: "To the Honorable Boards of Supei* visors of Henderson, DeWitt, Knox and McLean Counties: "Sirs--Your attention is respectfully called to the provision of the road law, requiring that all county boards shall submit to the state highway commis­ sion the names of persona to be ex­ amined; for the position of county superintendent of highways. "Up to this time your board h£8 failed to comply with the law as no candidates were certified to take the examination held by the state high­ way commission on October 18 last. "As this feature of the law Is man­ datory and quite apart from the par­ ticipation of any county in state aid, alBo as no business involving over two hundred dollars ($200) can be legally transacted by the highway commis­ sioners of any township in your coun­ ties until a county superintendent has been appointed, early action on your part becomes imperative. "You are advised that another ex­ amination haa been set for November 25, next, at Springfield." Chicago Man Gets Appointment State Superintendent F. G. Blair named J. C. Hanna of Chicago, prin­ cipal of the Oak Park school, as state supervisor of high schools. , The posi­ tion carries a salary of $4,500. llllnolaana Ara Prospermia.

AMINE MONSTER Second Officer of the Steamship Corinthian Describes Fifty- ' Foot Sea Serpent, , IT CRIED UKE BABY Declares He Located Creature Off tha Qrand Banks, Near Where THanfa Sank--Had Bonny Blue Eysa and Neok Twenty Feat Long. London.--Surely ft would have beta a mistake for the "silly" season to pass without its sea serpent Down at the Surrey Docks is a man who haa not only seen a fearful and wonderful marine monstar, but haa even sketched it from lire. It is not exactly tha sea sarpent at hoary tradition, but a sort of sea giraffe--an extraordinary looking- am­ phibious animal which Is puzzling the zoologists who havo heard of It and seen the drawing. Some idea of this weird freak may be gathered from this first hand de­ scription of it: "Has bonny blue eyea; cries like a baby; neck twenty feet long; body fifty feet; big head with long ears and snout; three horned1 fins adorn its bony head; two big flapping fins; skin Ilka a seal; brown­ ish yellow In color, with pretty dark spots." A plain, commonsense seaman, who tells his story bluntly, without any frills or trimmings, SecondLOfflcer O. Bachelor of the steamship uorlnthlan, describing his strange adventure with the sea giraffe, said: "We were bound from London ̂to Montreal, and it waa my turn os watch on the bridge In the early morning of August 30. It was cold and the gray dawn was jdst break­ ing, when, as I was keeping my eye straight ahead on our course, 1 picked up a queer-looking object about a mile ahead. It disappeared, and aa quickly it shot up again no more tfefta 100 feet away from the ship. "I distinctly saw it rise outiof tha water. First there was a big head, with long ears and long snout and bulging blue eyes that were mild and liquid. Then there was a neck--no end of a neck--and it swayed with the wash of the waves. What it waa I couldn't guess, for In twenty yean of sea-going, Including trips In trop­ ical waters, I've never seen anything like this sea giraffe that waa atartag right at the Corinthian. "As the thing seemed to aye ma It lashed the water with ita big front fins. Then it suddenly dived and dla- appeared, at the same time giving an odd little wail lik&a baby's cry. Yoa wouldn't think such a huge animal could have had such a small voice. "As soon as I went off duty I weat below and made a sketch of the mo»» ster in India ink. When the Corin­ thian reached Montreal my sketch was shown to Prof. F. E. Lloyd of Mc- Glll university, an expert in zoology.
