DENIES GILLIOM CHANGE OF LINK WITH KIHLUX National Horse,thief Detective Head Makes Defense at Marion. Bu Times Special MARION, Ind., Oct. 6—Attorney Genera. 1 , Arthur L. Gilliom’s reputed charge that the National Horsethief Detective Association and the Ku-Klux Klan are linked, stands denied today by H. T. Walker, Montpelier, who was elected president of the organization which closed a two-day convention here Wednesday, Walker declares the association has been in existence eighty years, and therefore is much older than the Klan. Various denominations of religion are represented among association members and there is nothing secretive about its membership, Walker asserted. In addition to Walker’s election as president, other officers were chosen as follows: Mayor Silk Spurgeon, Kokomo, vice president; George O. Stilwell, Ladoga, grand secretary; H. T. Hostetter, Roachdale, grand treasurer; C. E. Mummers, Logansport, grand organizer; Charles F. Martin, chaplain; Ora Meyers, Greenfield, delegate to Ohio state convention and E. B. Bratton, Crawfordsville, delegate to Illinois state convention. Crawfordsville was chosen as the 1923 convention city. HIGH TAX NEEDED BY SCHOOLS, SAYS MILLER Holds Proposed Levy “No Greater Than Needs Demand.” “While I will not say the school ievy asked should be granted, it is no greater than the needs demand,” Charles F. Miller, city school superintendent, said in a talk before the Chamber of Commerce education committee Wednesday. A $1 levy, as proposed by some people, would greatly cripple school efficiency, he added. Miller declared salaries paid teachers here are not extravagant. The superintendent stressed the need for new buildings caused by enrollment increases, citing the case of one portable building in the same place eleven years.

SYNOPSIS Nancy was pretty, a GAGE, and a blue-blood, even though she did live on the other side of the railroad tracks. But Nancy just couldn’t help falling in love and becoming engaged to handsome ERIC NELSON, whom she had met at Edith Harcourt’s, a rich school chum. Nancy's pride causes her to break the engagement when she finds that Eric’s mother is a laundress at the Harcourt's. Unable to stand the tension of her enfroced separation from the man she loves, Nancy goes to live in San Fran- ' cisco. Here she meets Gerald B. Hall, a man about town, whom Nancy starts goig with when she hears that Eric fs interested in another girl. Nancy is nearly out of funds when a letter arrives from her mother minus the usual alloawnce check. CHAPTER XXIV. Silas Gage had been hurt in an accident at the factory. His powerful back almost broken by a truckload of plovss. “He’ll have to lie flat in bed for months,” wrote Amanda. “The doctor doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to work again. It’s terrible, Nancy. We haven’t saved anything and his compensation money won’t any more than pay for the groceries. “I’m glad you’ve had your training in San Francisco. You can probably find a nice position by now. If you can support yourself for a while maybe we can manage. But you’d better stay there, because I know there’s nothing here you’d want to do.” Nancy’s first thought was for her father. Her cheeks paled as she pictured him lying crushed and helpless. How selfish she had been! Accepting everything he offered and sometimes complaining because it wasn’t more. Now when he was ill and needed it so badly he had no bank account to sustain him. She would take the first train home and help nurse him. She could imagine Jiow Amanda’s puttering ministrations would infuriate him. Nancy would read to him by the hour, rub his poor back. . . . She had dragged her clothes from the closet before the latter part of her mother’s information registered. Then she took up the letter and reread it, thoughtfully. She couldn’t go home. For two reasons! Amanda admitted that they were unable to support her any longer and Nancy had not the price of a ticket. This forced her to look at the situation from an entirely difler r ent angle. She COULDN’T go home. . . . Sitting in the midst of her disordered room, facing a window which opened on endless rows of other windows, Nancy considered. Was she down-hearted? NO! This merely meant the necessity of accepting a position. That one would be immediately forthcoming she did not doubt. She had less than $3 in her pocketbook and her room rent was already two days overdue. But this was not an age when people starved to death. One had more or one had less, but one “always managed.” Tomorrow she would go to her teacher at school and confess that she was in temporary financial straits. No doubt he would be able to suggest some remunerative employment. He might even insist that she continue her lessons without pay. She had heard of such generosity in cases where the pupil had decided talent. Os course, she wouldn’t say she had that exactly, but her voice was very sweet. . . . Everyone at home praised it. Finally she moved to the library table, which served as a desk, and wrote an affectionate letter. Don’t worry about me, darling! I can take care of myself beautifully. Tell father how sorry I am. Perhaps it won’t be as bad as the doctor thinks. I’m going to see about a position tomorrow. My teacher will probably be glad to help me. Be sure to let me know how you get along. Your loving NANCY. A gallant letter! Braver than she realized. For she had no concep-

tion of the difficulties confronting her. That night she told Jerry she didn’t feel like dancing. Would he mind taking her for a ride instead? He agreed, instantly solicitous. Was anything the matter? “My father’s been hurt in an accident,” she said, winking to keep back the tears. “Why, Nancy, 1 I’m awfully sorry. Was he hurt badly?” She the results of the mishap, adding, “I want to go home, but mother asked me to stay here.” Not a word about her financial predicament. Time enough for that later if an explanation were necessary. Jerry was sympathetic and considerate. He took her home, feeling much comforted. But, as she hurried up the stairs, her landlady opened the living room door. “Miss Gage, your room rent is overdue. Have you forgotten?” "No! Oh, no!” Nancy replied, cheerfully. “I’m going to pay it, Mrs. Watson.” “All right, dear. I thought it might have slipped your mind. You’re usually so prompt.” -Nancy thanked her and tripped lightly on. Perhaps she should have explained. No doubt Mrs. Watson would be reasonable. . . . But no! Better to wait. She would know something definite by tomorrow. After she had gone to bed she couldn’t keep from thinking about her father. Much of his surly- gruffness had been on the surface. Underneath his sarcastic manner was an affection which had never failed. Nancy had resented his attitude to her mother, but Amanda’s apologies and evasions must have been extremely annoying to a man of his directness. At any rate, she found excuses for him now, dabbing at her eyes with a damp, little handkercheif. . . . He had produced money for the trip to Virginia, which neither she nor her mother had expected. He had championed her choice,.of Eric for a husband, donating a trousseau fund of his own accord. Even after she had run away he had managed to finance her studying in San Francisco. Her poor father! ... It would be hard on Amanda to take care of him, but it would be torture for him to endure it. She must get something to do right away. And as soon as possible she would send them some money. For the first time in her life Nancy Gage was shedding tears over the troubles of someone else. The next morning Nancy sought her teacher at the College of Music. Explaining rather vaguely that financial reverses compelled her to stop her lessons. “I thought,” she finished, confidently, “that you could probably suggest something for me to do.” It was the same man who had clumsily tried to hold her hand afew months previously. His eyes held no hint of sentiment now. “What do you want to do?” he asked, briefly. “What can you do?”

“Oh, something with my voice, of course! There must be lots of positions.” “I haven’t heard of any. To be perfectly frank, you haven’t a concert voice, Nancy. And you’ve had no experience.” “Do you mean you think I can’t support myself with my voice?” “I wouldn’t say that,” he returned, politely. “Determination and persistence are three-fourths of any game. And if I CAN be of any assistance I shall be only too happy.” . . . “But you don’t know of anything now?” she insisted. “No, I don’t! My advice would be for you to go home.” She walked from his office with cheeks flaming. Determined to prove what she could do. She scanned newspaper ads, she tried to register at a musical and dramatic agency, but was forced to change her mind when she discovered they required a registration fee. On the third day she even went into a church and aswed the smartly dressed assistant to the pastor if they needed any one to sing. They didn’t. But in any case all that was arranged by the director of fusic. Nancy took his nanje and address and pursued him for one whole afternoon to be told kindly that they used only prominent artists. Their music was “a specialty.” . . . She went home, exhausted. Was it possible that she was not going to be able to find anything to do? Anything NICE? She found a note from Mrs. Watson on her dresser. “Miss Gage, will you please pay your room rent toight? If not, I shall have to ask you to leave. I’m sorry, but it’s not fair to my other girls nor to me. I have bills which must be paid and a chance to refit your room right away.” Nancy sank upon the bed. Not exactly frightened yet! Because she didn’t think girls were really put out on the street with no place to go. Surely if she explained to Mrs. Watson. . . . But what was there to explain? Save the bare fact that she was unable to pay for her room and would be so indefinitely! Besides she loathed asking a favor of a woman like that.

For two days Nancy had subsisted on crackers and milk. Conscious of her rapidly dwindling change. Thank heaven tonight she was dining with Jerry. He would be horrified if he knew she was really hungry. But apparently the time had come for her to take him into her confidence. . . . To Be Continued FEEBLE MINDED GAIN - But Speaker Says Increase Is Only Apparent. “Feeblemindedness in the United States is on the increase, but that increase is only apparent because of the larger number of cases coming under supervision,” said Dr. W. F. Lorenz, director of the Wisconsin Psychiatric Institute of the University of Wisconsin, Wednesday night, before the American Humane Association convention in the Severin. Dr. Lorenz said that if all feeble minded persons joined hands •they would reach from Chicago to New York. "Between 400,000 and 4,000,000 persons are feeble-minded and more than 7,000,000 persons carry a recessive feeble-minded gene in their make-up,” he said. Mrs. Nellie T. Brent, Hartford, Conn., supervisor of family work of the Connecticut Humane Society; George L. Sehon, Lyndon, Ky„ State superintendent of 'the Kentucky Children’s Home, and R. R. Reeder, Van Wert, Ohio, director of the Marsh Foundation School, were speakers on this morning’s program', closing the convention at noon.
