HAH DOM INCHES
Decomposition Sets in on
Victim's Legs Operated on Last Week.
It is now thought that a second op
eration will be necessary to save the
life of Charles Underwood, the Gary man who had his feet frozen a few
days ago. It will be remembered that' Under
wood was brought to Mercy hospital where it was found that his feet were so badly frozen that the amputation of his limbs was necessary to save his life. The operation was performed and both the unfortunate man's feet were taken off above the ankle. Owing to his age and the condition of the frozen members the operation was an extremely dangerous one and it was thought at that time that probably other operations would be necessary. Such is the case. Underwood now lies in a serious condition and it Is now deemed necessary that another operation be performed in order that he may
live. At the time of the first operation the man's feet were taken off above the affected part. The circula
tion was so long impaired that de
composition has set in the tissues above the ankle and it Is now absolutely ne
cessary that his legs be taken off below the knee. The second operation will take place tomorrow.
A movement has been started by the four papers in Gary namely, the Gary Dally News, the Northern Indlanlan, the Gary Evening Times and
the Gary Dally Tribune, to give a benefit entertainment in the near future
for the Mercy hospital of Gary.
A representative will be selected, from each of the local papers In the course .of the next few days to com
plete arrangements for the entertain
ment, which will be given during the latter part of February or the first of March, before the Lenten season
opens. It is the intention of the committee who are at the head of the movement to secure the best musical
talent in Chicago for the entertain
ment, and It is thought the the tlck-
es for the same can be readily sold so that at least from $200 to $500 can be realized after paying expenses.
which will be presented to the Sisters of the hospital.
There is no institution in Gary who
has done more good and is more de
serving than the Mercy hospital. No one knows this more than the press of Gary, who have occasion to visit, the
hospital every few days and see the wonderful work now being done by the
Sisters. Not only is this the case at
the present time, but when the active
construction of Gary was commenced
the Sisters labored among the sick and
those who were suffering.
It is for this reason that the move
ment is being started and it was
thought best by those in charge that a first class entertainment would be the best possible means of obtaining
funds which will be later given to the hospital to purchase medical supplies,
equipment, or for their building fund as they best see fit to use it.

Almost Fatal to One Man.
An employe of the Riter and Conley
company, who are engaged In con
structlng a blast furnace for the Indi

come by furnace gas yesterday after
noon about 4 o'clock, and for several hours his condition was thought to be serious as he was unconscious during
that time.
Dr. Ira Mlltmore, the steel company
physician at Gary, was summoned and attended the injured man, who was re
moved to Mercy hospital by Jones' ambulance where he was revived In a short time. Hia condition is not thought to be serious.

Tonight the night school in th
basement of the Gary public library
will be opened by 'W. A. Wirt and th board of education. The school will b

and there have been over thirty appli
cants for seats. Mr. "Wirt thinks that
before the school has been started very
many days the place will be crowded
The main text which will be taught
to the night students is the English language. This ' will be accompanied
by instructions In United States his

The equipment of the school will

few text books, maps, etc., of the same character of-the primary grades of our other schools. As soon as the numbe of students reaches such a stage that they can no longer be accommodated in the basement of the public library, they will be transferred to one of the public school buildings. The night school was established largely because of the petition of several of the adult foreigners of all nationalities who desire to better com
prehend the English language. It is planned later on, however, to also have the school so that backward students, or those who have been compelled to get behind in their work because of sickness, will be able to catch up in their work. ' The establishment of a night school in this locality Is something new In the way of public instruction, and its progress will be watched with Interest.
"Jimmie, do you speak Klang?" demanded Maud Tolllrer suddenly as her small brother came into the room. "Do I walk on my feet?" demanded Jimmie in surprise. "Pipe your lay, angel face. I'll get you somehow, even if your speaks are all to the muddle. Throw it off your chest." ' "Ifs this way," explained Maud.
"You know Mr. Gordon?" "I've seen him once or twice," admitted Jimmie, with a grin. Gordon was a regular visitor at the Tollirer home. "Papa wants me to marry him," explained Maud. "He's so strict and proper that I hate him. I thought that if were to talk slang and 'act up' perhaps he would leave me in peace. Ha hates a slangy girl. He 6ald so last night." Jimmie grinned appreciatively. He had no great liking for the eminently staid and correct Gordon. He hated men whose suits always looked as though it was the first time they had been worn. His own preference was for Barry Spaulding, who occasionally offered him a cigarette and who talked to him precisely as though he was a grownup. Gordon never seemed to see him, never laughed and joked, and Jimmie entered into the conspiracy with his whole heart after being assured that Maud would never disclose the source of her education in slang. Before the week was out Gordon
looked troubled. He was very much in love with Maud after his own fashion. There was no want of real affec
tion, but Gordon was no gallant wooer.
He had been accepted by the family,
and in his quiet, patient fashion he was laying siege to Maud's heart.
He had fancied he had been making
headway until she developed a trick of interlarding her speech with slang ex
pressions.
At first he was shocked, but as Maud
acquired proficiency and grew more
and more slangy Gordon withdrew
from his campaign. Though he loved
the girl as much as ever, he assured himself that a wife who used slang was utterly impossible.
In secret Maud gloated over the fact,
but bore herself demurely when her father sharply questioned her concerning her treatment of Gordon, for the latter's visits had fallen off. and.
though Gordon had pleaded business as an excuse, Mr. Tolliver had an idea
that there was something else that
might explain the lover's sudden lack of interest.
Then fate took a hand, and so ft hap
pened that Jimmie Tolliver, crossing
tho avenue, slipped on the muddy paving and fell directly in front of a rapidly advancing automobile.
There was a cry of horror from the
spectators, but one man sprang for
ward and with an easy movement
grasped the boy's arm and carried him
to safety.
For a moment Jimmie was too dazed
to comprehend; then he slowly came
to realize that Gordon, unmoved as ever, stood beside him, answering the
questions of the crowd, but refusing to give his name.
All right, old man?" he asked as he
saw that Jimmie was pulling himself together. "Suppose we move on. This
crowd is a little too eager."
He signaled a passing taxicab and
directed the driver to go to a tailor's
where Jimmie's muddled garments
might be made presentable. The rush
of cold air drove the last of the cobwebs from Jimmie's brain, and, gazing admiringly at Gordon, he decided that
Maud was wrong in her estimate of the man. There was fire under the ice, red blood beneath the waxenly, immobile expression, and Jimmie's heart warmed to his rescuer. "Say, Bo," he demanded suddenly, "are you still dead nuts on Maud?" "I esteem your sister very highly," admitted Gordon. "You're all right," declared Jimmie admiringly. "If you want to win cast your port ear over this way and make a noise like a listen."
The noise of a listener was contin
ued long after the visit to the tailor's
was concluded. Gordon's face was as expressionless as ever, but there was
a twinkle in his eye.
Some evenings later Maud, coming downstairs, reached the lower hall Just
as Gordon was admitted by the butler,
Jimmie had been cautioned under pain
of losing his promised reward to say nothing of his rescue, 60 it was merely
"that tiresome Kenneth Gordon" whom Maud greeted with, perfunctory cor
diality.
"I butted in to tear off a piece of talk with the boss bloomer wearer. Is
he in?" asked Gordon.
"If you mean my father" began Maud icily. "That's the guy," interrupted Gordon. "Will you tell the delegate from the wax works to ask him to grease his heels and slide down here?" "I will go myself," offered Maud nervously. Gordon was as coldly correct in appearance as ever, but perhaps he was drunk; "Nix on the scamper," declared Gordon, raising a detaining hand. "Use the butler for the wireless, and we'll call out some conversation while he makes a home run." "I must go." explained Maud. "I forgot something upstairs, and I must ee about it at once." "Tell it to wait," commanded Gor-

He pointed to & chair, and timidly Maud seated herself. As she had led the way Into the parlor the butler had disappeared, supposing that be would
not be required further. To ring for
him now would only make a scandal among the servants. Perhaps her father would come down in a few minutes. He usually spent the evening In the
library when he did not go to the club,
and in either event he must pass the open door. If the worst came she could call for the butler, but meanwhile perhaps she could induce Gordon to leave quietly. She took the chair indicated, sitting nervously on the edge, ready to spring up and run should occasion demand. "It doesn't cost any more to have a whole chair," reminded Gordon as he sank into a seat between her and the door. "I want you ,to put me wise to some things. What's your grouch against me?"
"I have no grouch," protested Maud eagerly. "Indeed, I like you very much." i "I never saw you on the front steps
waiting for me," said Gordon grimly. "Let it come out with a rush. I'm in , wrong. How can I square myself?" "There is nothing to be squared," insisted Maud. "I dont see how you can i imagine such a thing." "Naughty, naughty!" reproved Gordon, shaking his forefinger at her ad-
monishingly. "Look here, kiddo, put me next I You don't like me, and I like you. I can't help itj.t I've got a frozen face. It was wished on me, and It's none of my doings. Tell me how I can loosen up bo youH have a yin for
me."
A yin?" repeated Maud uncertainly.
This was a word not in Jimmie's vo
cabulary.
A yin a yearning," explained Gor
don. "I want you to think that I'm
the whole works, and you won't even let me be the second hand. Fix me up so I can come into the big tent and be a part of the program. I'm the

I don't like the Job. I may not be
quite your style, but I can learn. I'm
the star pupil in the little red schoolhouse, and IT always be at the head of the class if youH be the teacher. I love to love my teacher."
Maud sprang to her feet, her eyes
blazing.
Mr. Gordon," she said coldly, "I will
not prolong this Interview. I do not
know what is the matter. I do not
want to know, but you must go, please.
I cannot listen to you when you talk
this way." Gordon had sprung to his feet when Maud rose, and now he smiled down into the flushed, angry face. "It seems," he said a little sadly, "that my latest effort is no more successful than the earlier attempts. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and yet you are not pleased." "What do you mean?" gasped Maud in astonishment. "You learned slang for my benefit," he reminded. "When I do the same thing you object. Of course my slang Is more pronounced than your own, but then you have only Jimmie, while I have the valuable assistance of several elevator boys, my office boy and the janitor's son, who qualifies as an
expert. You use slang to disgust me J
with yourself. I am using it to disgust ; you with slang." "And you know?" gasped Maud. "Jimmie has told?" "Be it said to his credit that the temptation was great," said Gordon gently. "Do not-blame the lad. He meant well in giving me my last chance to win you. He saw beneath the surface and was sorry for his part. I foolishly Imagined that if I could excel you in the use of slang I might startle you Into an interest that I see now you never can feel. It was a foolish experiment. Miss TolllTer, and I ask your pardon for having bored and then frightened you. Tt was my last chance, and I hoped that it might succeed. "I gather from Jimmie's remarks
that you fear paternal pressure will be

They were only little halts in the evenness of his soft, even voice, but they showed the strength of feeling, and it touched Maud with a sudden emotion. "Don't go," she said softly, laying a detaining hand upon his arm. "Perhaps the last chance has not I mean" But she could say no more. Gordon's arms were outstretched, and in his face, no longer expressionless, there was a look of such appeal that 6he suffered herself to be drawn within their protecting circle.
