Chicago Rushing Al) Preparations For Great I Eucharistic Congress Chicago, April 24 (United Presg)— Committees uie busily canvassing the city to make a success of the transformation of Chicago Into the church center of the world on June 20 to 24. During that time more than 1,000,000 persons, members of both the clergy ami the lay field, will bn hero to attend the Eucharistic Congress of the World. Every hotel In the city will be taxed to its capacity. It is expected these will take care of 250,000 of the delegates. Every room in the city available for renting purposes is being registered. All hotels and restaurants, as well as home owners, are being cautioned to have sufficient food on hand to care for thin immense crowd It will be Chicago’s biggest event since the World Fair in 1895, and it is the chief interest of the Roman Catholic world this year. Chicago will be able to handle the immense crowd, backers of the unique convention said today. While railroad facilities will be taxed, there are sufficient carriers operarting into the city to care for the delegates. Railroads from the east probably will have the, biggest task in handling the immense delegations coming from abroad. I The arrangements committee announces that there will be little confusion. A room wil Ibe designated to each delegate. On the card handed to the delegate will be the address, instructions on how to reach the lodging place, and the price of the room. This will prevent there boing a milling mob in the railroad stations, without rooms.' While Chicago proper is preparing for the ta*k of being host to a million. Mundelein, 111., is watching a fevered bit of activity. Workmen there are preparing the, grounds of the St. Mary of the Lake Seminary for the influx ot delegates. Carpenters, cement workers, bricklay-. ers and landscape gardeners are rush-, ing improvements and promise the immense project will be ready by May 1. The improvement project there en-j tails a cost of $300,000. Included in the work are five arched bridges, across the lake; a new’ SIOO,OOO boat, house; rolling, trimming and smoothing of the grassy approaches and completion of several tiers of stairways leading down from the Edward Hines memorial chapel. The stairways will connect with the miles of winding paved roads which will be the path ot the great delegations when they attend the last mass of the congress at the memorial chapel. Although plans are incomplete it is •planned to have altars along the roads at which benediction will be given, j ■ —° Homeless In London Now Less Numerous | Than Before The War London. April 24.—(United’Press) The annual census of homeless persons in London this year recorded only 100, of which twenty-four were women. This novel census has been taken every year since 1903. when the homeless numbered 1797. The census is taken by police and County Council officials during a certain night, and is a helpful index for relief measures. The grim shadows of the Embankment still draw most of the homeless. On the night of the census most of the seats along the right bank of the river from Blackfriars Bridge to Westminster Bridge were occupied by desolate men and women. Here the police do not disturb them, and the famous district likewise continues to attract writers seeking material on the sadder sides of life, dreamers and philosophers. During the later years ot the war, the Embankment began 'to lose its picturesque character, but instead of passing it has in recent years revived, and after midnight the shadows now carry much the same story that the Embankment ha-s told for many generations. _ o Streams In Texas In Flooded Condition Dallas, Texas, April 24. — (United, Press) —Flood conditions existed toI day in virtually all streams converg- ' Ing in gulf .southeastern Texas as the I result of torrential rains in the center I section of the state during the week. I Warnings broadcast by the weather I bureau at Houston advised that lover I south Texas streams would probably reach their crests today or Saturday. Many streams were out of banks and damaging lowland craps. Early flood warnings allowed escape I of residents in the threatened sections and the removal of property and live- ( stock. Eight persons have died from drown- ' ing or lightning in the storm or nearbursts reported in some sections dur- | ing the last few days.

Tlien suddenly, without warning, the horse iivliiried. leaping far out to ti e left, .Wiping with hard hoofs bunched, gathering iiynself as he landed, swerving with quickness of light, plunging again to the right. And again bs stood stilji. Judith, sitting securely . his rebellious back, laughed. Her lauglrter. cool and unafraid, sent ? rtrnnxe little thrill through Bud Lee —wta>, with fear In Ids heart, was wm her. <>Ut for him now!" he called warriingly. In tripili, the Prince had not yet bezun. He plunged toward the corral, his purpose plain, the one desire in ills tieai'l <0 crush ids rider against the hlgiZ fence. But Judith’s spurs answered him, and the bit, savage in Ids jaws, brought him about, wldrling, sidliii, striking, bucking as only a strong, fearless, devil-hearted horse knows how to buck. He doubled up under her; he rose and fell in a quick series of short jumps which tore and jerked at her body, which strove to tear her knees away from Ids sides and break the grip of her hand on the reins. But it seemed to the men watching that the girl knew before the horse which way he would jump, tliut she knew how to sway her body with his so that she and he were not sepa- ! rate beings but just one, moving together in some mad devil’s dance. 1 "Can she ride!” whispered Bud Lee. “I want to know!” . Agnin the maddened Prince reared and again she brought Idm to earth. Again he resumed the terribly tearing series of short, sharp bucks. And still her hair tumbling, blown about ; h«r shoulders, she rode hint.'

"And —” "And.” cried the girl with quick passion, ‘Til tell you something. You’re n great big lumbering coward! Stick witli me?” She laughed aguln. a new laugh, ringing with her scorn. I “"Here’s your outlaw; I've gentled) him a bit. You ride him!” His fellows laughed at Ward; for the field foreman wus no horseman and the timorous way in which be had brought out tills snapping, vicious animal had testified to the fact. He drew back now, muttering. I "Ride him!” cried Judith, her voice stinging Idm. "Ride him or get ojf the ranch! Which is It?" Ward Hannon, glad of the opening. ■ answered surlily: “Aw! think I want to take orders off’n a woman? You’re , right. I’ll get off’n the ranch!” “That's two down,” said Judith. | "Now, take this horse back to the stable; I’m going up to the office. You men come there in five minutes. If you want to stay, and are worth your salt, you can. Or I’ll give you your time. It's up to you: it’s a free country. But—” and she said it slowly, confronting them—"lf you all throw me down and leave me shorthanded without giving me time to j take on another set of men, you are a pretty low-lived bunch!" Then, without turning, she went swiftly to tlie ranch-house. Old Mun Carson wiped the sweat from hia fore- . head. “I remember hearing about Luke Sanford's girl,” he said simply. "114# Is her, all right." "Old Man" Carson—so called through lack of courtesy and because of the sprinkling of gray through Ids black hair, a man of perhaps fortyfive—filled an unthinkably disreputable pipe with Ids own conception of “real tobacca" and chuckled so that tlie second match was required before he was ready to say ids say. “You just listen to me, you boys!” he said. "None of you fellers ever ) saw old Luke Sanford?" "I'd been working here close to two W.eejiS when lie got killed," Bud said aiij Carson’s twinkling eyes went from fa’ee to face. "I got my Job straight from Idm, not Trevors." ‘"ghat’s so," said Carson. "Well, Bud knows tlie sort Luke Sanford was. He was dead and burled when I coma to the Blue Lake, but I’d saw him twice and I’d heard of him more times tiian that. Quiet mnn that 'tended to his own business and didn't say «o all-fire-1 much 'less he was stirred up. And then—!” He whistled bls meaning. "A fighter. All he ever got ha fought for. All he ever held ou to ha fought for. He bucked Western Lumber for a dozeu years, first and last. And, by crlpes, he nulled theß' d —d hides on ids stable-door, too! “Well, I heard tell about this same Luke Sanford ten years ago and more—about Idm and ids little girl. From what folks said I guess there never was a man wanted a boy-baby worse'n Luke Sanford before Judith come. And I guess there never was a man put more stock In ms own flesh and blood than Luke did In her us goon as he got used to her being a she. I don’t know just exactly how old she was ten years ago, women folks being so d—n' tricky in the looks of their ages, but I'd say she wes eight or nine or ten or eleven years old. Anyhow, Luke had took her in hand already. Why, that girl's rid Ileal horses since she was the size of | & pair of boots. Luke took her ■ everywhere he went, up In the moun--1 Wins, over tlie Big ridge, down valleyways, into town when he went off on | fils yearly. And they say Luke wasn't (,no poky rider, either. You’ve rode Ids iitrlng, Bud? What are those for horses, huh?" •Tm a tittle particular when It come* to a saddle-horse,” Bud admitted. "But I never asked any better than old Sanford's string." “You hear him!" said Carson. "Well, that Judy girl has rid horses like them for a dozen years. I guess," and he spoke with slow thoughtfulness, "that she’s a real chip off’n the old block. It’* my guess number two that she ain't just shooting off her face promiscuously when she says there's something crooked in the deal Trevors has been handing her. And, third bet, there's most likely going to be seven kinds of li—l popping around this end of the woods for a spell.” “What are you doing about it. Carson?” asked the man whose unusually vacuous expression gave him the name of Poker Fhce. "Stick on the job or quit?” "Me?" Carson sought a match, and when lie had found It, held It long in his grimy fingers, staring at it thoughtfulljr. "Me stay an' let a she-

But pl*ying fuir, I’m going tu stick an' do tuy d—nedest tu see Luke Suufurd's girl put up her scrap. Yes, air." "What did she want tu fire Trevor* for?" asked Benny, the couk. Carsun, looking at him contemptuously, spoke in contemptuous answer about the stem of bl* pipe. "Any man un the Job can answer you that. Cookie. It's been open an' shut the last namth Trevors is either crazy or crooked. I said, didn't I, Western Lumber's itching to get its devil-fish legs wrapped aruun' Blue Luke timber? They've busted more thun one randier up in the mountains. Trevors 1* in , with 'em. Any man on the ranch tiiat don’t know that, don’t want to know I It!” He removed his pipe at lust, and his look upon Benny wa* full of meaning. Benny growled an answer but did not -take up the quarrel. He knew | Carson well enough to know that there 1 was no man living readier for a figtit or abler to conduct lil» own part of 1 it. "Que bay.

"It's your manly beauty, I Bud! You ol’ son-of-a-gun of a lady-, | killer!" I • Bud Lee swung about upon his heel to glare at Bandy. But suddenly eon-) ■clous of a flush creeping up hotly 1 under ills tan, he turned hi* buck and strode away to the house. His face was flaming wheu he entered the office. “What do you want with me?" he said shortly, angered at Bandy, Judith Sanford and himself. "Bow, wow!" retorted Judith, look--lup from Trevors' table. "On your I high horse, are you? All right, stay there. What I wunt Is some Information. How long have you been on the Blue Lake pay roll?" | "A little over six months," he an ■wered colorlessly. “Over six months?” A quick look ! of interest came Into her eyes. “Trevors hired you?

"Then — anti a sudden, swift smlla came fur the first time that morning into the girl's eyes "you're square! Thank God fur one wan tu be sur« of." She had rt»en with a quick impetuuslty an I put out her band. Lee took it Into tils i wn, and felt it shut bard, like a man's. "Just how do you know I'm square?" he asked slowly. "Dad was human," »he replied softly. “He made some mistakes. But he never made u mistake tn u hors* foreman yet. He bus «uid to me a dozen times: ‘Judy, watch the way a man treats id* horse if you want to size him up! And never put your horses into the cure of a man who Isn't white, clean through.’ Dad knew, Bud Lee!" Lee made no answer. For a little, Judith, back at the long table and looking strangely small in the big, bare room before this massive piece of furniture, stared Into vacancy with reminiscent eyes. Then, with a little shrug of her shoulders, she turned aguln to the tall foreman. "Why did you tell Trevors thl* morning tliut you were going to quit work?" she usked with abrupt directness. | "Because," he answered, and by | now his flush had subsided and ids grave good-humor had come buck to 1 him witli ids customary serenity. "I felt like moving on." "Because," site insisted, "you knew ' that there wus some dirty work afoot and did not cure to be messed up in It?” I Now here, most positively, Bud Lea said within himself, was a person to reckon with. How did she know all | that ? What business did a kid like this have of knowing so blamed much? "You've got your rope on tlie right : pair of horns," he said after ids brief ! pause. "How did you know thut Trevors was working the double-cross on this deal?” she demanded. "I didn't know," he said stiffly. "I just guessed. The same as you. He wa? spending too much money; lie was getting too IJttle to show fur it; he was selling too much stock to* cheap." "What's the matter With you?” cried the girl, surprising him with the heat of her words and the sudden darkening of her eyes. "Why do you Insist on being so downright standoffish and stiff and aloof? What have I done to you that you can't be de--1 cent? Here I am only putting foot ; on my land and you make me feel ■ like an intruder.” (TO BK CONTINUED) —o Dance Saturday night.

Historic ('reek Ford On State Highway Is Eliminated This Week Indianapolis, Ind, April 24.—(Special) —An historic ford In use more than 90 years was eliminated the first of thii week with the opening of a new " bridge nt Dupont on State Road 26. s "This crossing," says John D. WilHams, director of the state highway — commission, "was in times of l)<ll * rains and spring floods a source of •» constant annoyance to traffic becatise many times each year tlie little stream overflowing its banks, prohibited fording and blocked traffic for days. Records show that the road was blocked six times this year since January by high waters, each time ranging from one to four days. In late months the highway commission kept _ a truck at the ford to pul! cars through *‘' l when waters receded to a point the machines could cross in .safety. -< I The commission's traffic bulletin jiointe out that construction and > paving has started in many parts of ' the state and from now until the coming winters forces a shut down, stale 1 rond.s designated for paving will be scenese of gieat activity.
