BRITAIN TO SEND AGENT TO AMERICA

f " IT

31R TH0TIA2 SHAirGHNKZZY

Tbe discontent with the manner in

which J. P. Morgan & Co. have em

ployed their position as purchasing agent for war munitions for the British government, has led David Lloyd George, minister of munitions, to announce that he is going to send a "prominent business man" to America to go into the whole business of American and Canadian contracts for war materials. It is understood that this agent will be Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific railroad, who was summoned to England some time ago for a conference with Ixrd Kitchener on the subject. The Morgans, it is alleged, have profited unfairly by the contracts they have placed in this country.

SKYROCKETS CAUSE OF FIRES ON FOURTH

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Jane 24. In

the campaign for a "safer and saner

Fourth of July in . Indiana, the state fire marshal's office deprecates the

use of skyrockets for celebrating pur

poses. In support of the argument the costly experience of the city of Bloomington is being compelled to pay ap

proximately $9,000 damages to Miss

Josephine Moore of that city is cited The girl received injuries from a sky

rocket during a Labor Day celebration and was disfigured for life. The supreme court has held the city of Bloomington responsible and rendered a judgment for $8,000, plus the co6ts

of nine years litigation and interest.

A strong endorsement of the safe

and sane Independence Day also is found in a table of statistics compiled

by the Journal of the Medical Associa'

tion of America ' which shows that deaths from Fourth of July celebra

tions in the United States -in 1914 totaled but forty, as compared with an aggregate of 466 in 1903.

DRIVE OUT COMMANDANT

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., June 24. Why the military department of Wabash college was abolished thirtyfive years ago was retold by several old "grads" at the alumni reunion. They recalled that the cadets formed a strong aversion to Col. Henry B. Carrington, the commandant, and they used to devote many hours a day collecting empty beer and whisky bottles which they scattered over the colonel's yard and front porch at night. At least ten thousand empty bottles were bestowed on the colonel in this way, and he finally gave up the post.

DOPE FIENDS BURN INDIANAPOLIS STORE

IXDIANAPOUS, June 24. The motive ever lurking in the crime-creased mind of the fire bug is as varied as the hues of the chameleon, says the state fire marshals office. A comparatively new plot has been unraveled as a result of the fire that destroyed the drug store of W. A. Dodge, on the west outskirts of Indianapolis. The State Fire Marshal found, on the morning following the fire, unburned empty boxes that had contained the entire stock of narcotics of the store. The boxes had been cast aside in the rear after being emptied of their contents, apparently by the dope fiend incendiaries. The crime is 'one of several perpetrated by users of drugs made desperate because of the recent prohibitive federal legislation. Incidental to the fire, Mr. Dodge, who lived in rooms over his store, was carried out by firemen when ihs escape was cut off by the flames.

The attendance of registered delegates at the conventions Is expected to exceed 150,000 men and the missionary agencies believe the campaign will give a' new impetus to all forms of mission work.

Several of the committees in the larger cities are planning for 2,000 to 3,000 registered delegates at their conventions. While men only will be allowed to register as delegates, women as well as men may attend as visitors.

KING GEORGE ENJOYS HARD WORK OF WAR

LONDON, June 24. The heavy demands which the war has imposed up

on King Georgee's energy appear to

have acted as a stimulant upon him, for never has the king looked more vigorous and healthy than at present, especially since his visit to the fleet, which interested him so very much. Few men in England work harder than does the king at present, and besides his official duties he finds timo to interest himself in various schemes for the benefit of permanently disabled soldiers and sailors, whom he has given many proofs of his gratitude for the sacrifices they have made for the country.

By Virginia Terhune Van de Water. CHAPTER XXX. "That's what marriage does to a man!" . Isabel murmured these words as once more she turned to her mirror and gazed at the image reflected there. She knew she was pretty tonight much prettier than usual. Yet to the man who had married her she was just an ordinary person, one of whom he was sure that he did not bother to pay her compliments. The spotleBsness of his necktie and the lateness of the hour were uppermost in his mind. Yes that's what it meant to be married. It was almost time for Mr. Duval to be here. In ten minutes she must be ready, for she would not keep her escort waiting. "Come in!" she called in response to a knock at her door. Cynthia entered, her hat and coat on. "Sence you an" Mr. Hamilton's dinin' out," she said. "I thought you wouldn't mind ef I was to go out earlier than usual. Can I go now?" "Certainly you may," Isabel replied promptly. She was glad that the girl was going out at once. It was evident that Cynthia did not know that John was not to be with his wife this evening. The maid would be away before Duval came. How this simplified matters! "I hope you and Mr. Hamilton has a good time," Cynthia remarked with a patronizing smile. "Good evenin. ma'am." The door closed behind her and Isabel drew a sigh of relief. The coast was clear. There would be nobody to gossip about her movements. Even the hallboy need not know that the man with whom she was going was not a brother, a cousin or some other relative. When she was ready she decided to go downstairs so that she could see the cab as soon as it drew up to the curbing. Then the hallboy would not discern, in the dim light outside, that the man who called for her was not her husband. She had hardly reached the lower hall when she saw the cab approach the house, and by the time the occupant had alighted she was on the sidewalk. As tbe boy had opened the front door for her she had said hastily: "I will run right out and save Mr. Hamilton the bother of coming in for me." "My dear Mrs. Hamilton!" Duval exclaimed. "Why did you not wait and allow me to help you down the steps? You might have slipped." She laughed excitedly. "Oh, I never slip!" she. said. Then remembering her fall on the night of Mrs. Simmons' reception, and added with another laugh, "except on rainy and slippery nights." Duval helped her carefully into the cab and seated himself beside her. "You are looking mighty well tonight," he remarked approvingly. "While I am sorry for poor Hamilton that he can not go to this dinner I also consider his loss is my gain." "Thank you," she rejoined. Secretly she wondered if she herself were sorry that John could not go this evening. If he, instead of Duval, were here, he and she might be arguing about something. Then she was ashamed of her disloyal thought. Of course, she wished John were here. She wished it again when, glancing around the drawing room as she entered, she noted that not a man present was as handsome as John. She wanted to "show him off" to Ida. "I am so sorry my husband could not come," she told her friend, a note of genuine regret in her voice. "I want you to know him. But you will meet him before long for you and Mr. Ferris must dine with us soon." "It will have to be after Frank returns from the business trip he starts on tomorrow," Ida said, "unless," with a mischievous laugh, "I borrow a leaf

from your book and get some other !

man to take his place. It was only a jest, but Isabel felt herself flush hotly. Her friend saw the blush and regretted her speech. These newly-weds were always so sensitive. "Seriously," she added quickly, "I know how hard It was to persuade you to come here without your husband. As I see how pretty you are at this moment, I am dreadfuiiy sorry for him because ha can not be here. But I suppose he saw you before you left and pronounced you perfect. That," confidentially, "is one nice thing about a husband. He is always so proud of one's attractions. There's no

need for me to tell you that you never.

looKea sweeter man you ao lonigai for of course your John told you that only a little while ago."

"Unfortunately, he had to le

before I was ready." Isabel replied

"A fib." she thought, "but my pii drives me to it. At any rate, if Jj did not tell me how nice I look. otrJ
