AUTO FREIGHT CAR COLLIDE

Seven Occupants of Machine Are Hurled to Street, But Escape .' Without Serious Injury.

When a traction company freight car crashed into an Overland touring car at the intersection of Third avenue and Thirteenth street, about 9 o'clock Tuesday night seven occupants of the car were thrown to the pavement,* but other than minor bruises and scratches, escaped injury.

The machine was driven by Perry Douglas, assistant city attorney, and he was accompanied by Mrs. Douglas, their two children. Thelma, six years old, and Rose, three years old .Mr. and Mrs. William Daviess, 1719 South Fifth street, and their daughter, Helen, seven years old. The car was headed west in Third avenue and Mr. Douglas intended turning 'south in Thirteenth street. As the machine emerged from Third avenue It was seen that the freight car was about upon them. Mr. Douglas hastily turned his machine to the left but not before the freight car had sideswlped the rear and side of the machine, throwing the machine almost to the curb on the north side of the street and the occupants to the pavement.

The children escaped almost without injury. Mrs. Douglas suffered painful bruises about the body and was. confined to her bed Wednesday. Mr. Douglas and Mr. and Mrs. Daviess also were bruised and scratched, but were able-to be about. It was said the occupants of the automobile could not see the'approaching car as a view of the street is shut off by houses. The freight car was travelling at such a speed to prevent it stopping in time to prevent an accident, it was said.

An automobile driven by Charles O'Leary became unmanageable when the steering gear broke and the three occupants of the car narrowly escaped injury about 11 o'clock Tuesdav morning when the machine upset about three miles east of Middletown. The car was wrecked but none of the occupants were injured With Mr. O'Leary were Bay Thomas and Jack Crapo.

TWO HEAVILY FINED.

Thomas Beecham and Mrs. Ellen Murdy, charged with a statutory offense, were assessed severe penalties by Judge Newton in City Court Tuesday afternoon when he fined them both $10 and costs and sentenced the man to the penal farm for 180 days and the woman to the women's prison at Indianapolis for the same time. John McGill, charged with carrying concealed weapons, was fined $10 and costs and was sentenced to serve 30 days on the penal farm.

BILLY TELLS ME THE OLD. OLD STORY Human nature is a wonderful thing. One may lose his wife or children or mother or father and for, a time believe that earth can hold no joy for him, yet, in a few short weeks 'or months, time has knitted up the ragged sleeve of sorrow (to paraphrase a certain well-lcnown poet), and the once doleful man becomes a normal human heing again. One may lose her husband under circumstances not at all flattering to her and although she may think for a time that all men are worthless and deceitful and thoroughly detestable, yet in a few days or weeks she will find that her point of view has wonderfully changed.

Such a change may be greatly accelerated by soft music, a beautiful, starlit sky and the balmy air of a perfect night. After all our disappointments and sorrows we are but human and the call of the sexes is too shrill a call to be drowned by the echo of moans caused by even very recent suffering.

So, at least, it was with me. I oonfess that I am human, even to the point of weakness. I confess that there was a chann about William Bent which appealed to me strongly. I admit that I possess a romantic temperament which 1B keenly susceptible to the influence of starlight, the strains of sweet music, the aroma of flowers.

When I found myself alone with him on the veranda and heard his deep voice ringing with a newly kindled and passionate devotion, I felt as if I had taken some strong elixir. Mly blood tingled and a, strange gladness warmed my heart.

And why should I not have been glad? Why should I not have allowed myself the feminine joy of reveling in the affection of this man? What moral bond was there to forbid it? Was there any reason under heaven, save a flimsy legal barrier, why I should not listen to Billy? My husband had deserted me at a time when I needed a husband. I had been left entirely at the mercy of strangers in a strange city. By some miracle I had been restored to health and strength. My husband had contributed nothing to bring about my recovery. So far as morals were concerned, I was absolved from any obligation to Arthur. I was free—free as any unmarried woman could be except for the formality of a divorce.

And here I was beside a n&n who loved me—a strong, deep-feeling man whose power over me could not be denied. In the few days we had been together he h^d drawn me to him as subtly and as certainly as the pole draws the needle. Why should 1 not yield myself to him? It was human nature that I should. "I have been waiting for you," he told me after I had been with him for a moment. "Somehow, I knew you would come." "I do not know how you knew it," I replied. "I am here by the merest accident. Those gossips inside got oh my nerves, to such an extent that I felt it necessary to flee to the open. 1 wanted to. breathe the fresh air once more to get out of the same room in whioh they were. The very atmosphere seemed polluted by their wagging tongues." "Yet I knew you were coming," insisted Billy. "I do not know how I knew it any more thaji you know why you came, but I know it and here you are! Isn't it wonderful?" "Indeed it is," I agreed, taking a deep and glorious breath and gazing out into the beautiful night. 'It is more than wonderful. There is no word that can express the sweetness and grandeur of it all." "I do not mean the stars or the air," returned Bill. "They are indeed wonderful, but

sto

me there is something

more wonderful still." I could not mistake the tenderness of his tone. "What is it?" I asked, before I knew what I was Inviting. "The most glorious thing !n the world to me just now Is the "fact that you and I are here together," he declared, bending toward me. "Fate has brought us together," he declared, bending toward me. "Fafce has brought up together at this tlms just as It did that evening in the wood. Had you not sprained your ankle perhaps I should never have seen you again. It

DANCE "TERRE HAUTE" OR YOU'LL BE PASSE

Oskar Duenweg, Local Instructor, Gives the World Two New Steps to Trot.

What New York 4oes, Terre Haute will do likewise—in the dancing line as a rule. But this year the situation will be reversed, that what Terre Haute does, ditto New York. Why?

Because Prof. Oskar Duenweg, who liaB just returned from the thirty-ninth annual convention of the American Society of Professors of Dancing, New York, introduced some new steps at the convention that took the instructors by storm and practically all of them gave cut the information that these dances would be taken up immediately in the New York classes. "They are practical and we can use them," said New York.

Now you're anxious to know what they are, aren't you? They are the T. H. one step and T. H. fox trot. '"What does the T. H. stand for, Oskar?" queried a number of Prof. Duenweg's colleagues after he had demonstrated. "Terre Haute, of course. I could

was fate. Now we are here together again under circumstances which are just as eloquent with meaning. "Do not interrupt me," he objected as I was about to speak. "I know what you would tell- me. Tou were about to say that you are married that I should not speak to you as I do that there is the wall of the law between us. "Roxane, I do not know anything about your domestic affairs. You have told me nothing, and no one else has told me anything. So I know nothing except what I have been able to guess. "That evening when I lifted you in my arms and carried you into your home—tha.t moment my doom was sealed. I loved you. There was something about you which could not be resisted. I knew from that instant that you were destined for my wife. "The feeling at first was indefinable, but the next day it was less so. I found that you and I were perfectly attuned. So that while you haven't told me anything, I know in a general way many things about you. I know that you and your husband are estranged. I know also that the estrangement could only be his fault. You are not the kind of a woman to rebel unless there be good and sufficient ground. It has seemed to me, if you will permit me to speak plainly, that you have been cast off by your husband. "Please do not interrupt me," he Insisted as I shrank from him and tried to speak. "I believe there has been a providential separation in your case. I say 'providential' because in the regular course of events which are unerringly guided by His hand 1" firmly believe you and I were created for each other. "I would not have spoken to, you had I not known instinctively that you were virtually a free woman, even if you were not legally free. I want ycm, Roxane, for my wife. Look at me and tell me that you will be mine."

have called them .'Highland' but why not say T. H?" So T. H. is likely to be plastered all over the waxed floors of the east and through the middle west this coming season. "The walk waltz or canter aiso will be popular this year," Prof. Duenweg predicts, "and perhaps some military steps in Terre Haute. New York is teaching 'London taps' which has a military character. Special music must be provided and this at present is very difficult to procure.

Daffy on the Ukele.

"And speaking of music," Mr. Duenweg continues, "New York is Hawaiian music mad. There is something different, something new and appealing in the string instruments which is making it extremely popular."

Returning to the subject of dances, the dancing master said that the tango, which he considers a modern minuet, will be given to his advanced pupils this season.

While in New York, Prof. Duenweg and a young lady from Boston posed for a, number of pictures demonstrating the round dances.. These we are likely to see in some of our big city Sunday papers and perhaps, right here in Terre Haute.

In discussing the dance as a factor in social evolution, Prof. Duenweg says in part: "The dance is again becoming a vital factor in the process of social evolution today, as it has been in the past. "Many people are apt to consider the dance as a mere pastime, as a mild form of dissipation, as an 'evening off.' But the dance is infinitely more than that. We must' take the dance seriously. If we take it frivolously, we miss a great deal of joy and inspiration. "That is the task of the new modern dance movement—to make the dance achieve the heights, just as music and the opera, the drama and the theatre,

He took my hand and led me to a seat at the other end of the veranda.

He paused and opened his arms. I could not help, it. I crept to him and in another moment he was straining me to his breast. I yielded completely to the amazing joy which swept upon me. I was his, heart, soul, mind and body. Then came the revulsion. "Oh, Billy," I exclaimed as I struggled to be free. "What have I done? What have we done?" "My darling!" he cried triumphantly. "What have we done? Why, we have learned that we love each other, and we have told each other so!"

He gave a quick, joyous laugh and would have taken me in his arms again, but I checked him. "Wait! You must not!"

He looked quickly at me. "There is no one to see." I smiled. "I am not afraid of being seen," I told him, "although I admit it might not add to the success of my party, its purpose being what it was. But there are other reasons why I should not be embraced." "There is none!" exclaimed Billy. "You would never have allowed me that first one if you had not cared for me, and if you care for me there is no reason why I should not caress you as much as I please.

He took my hand and led me to a seat at the other end of the veranda. I did not resist, although I was vaguely conscious of the neglect I was showing my guests. "Now," urged Billy, "will you tell me all about yourself?"

I felt my hand grow cold in his warm grasp. I shivered. "I cannot," I told him hurriedly. "At least, not now. Walt and I will tell you everything." "Of course, if you wish it," he agreed. "And if you do not want to tell me anything, it will be all right. All I care for now, Roxane, Is your happiness."

He bent forward and drew my face to his. I could resist no longer.
