C. —Blame for the collision of the New York Central and Michigan Central passenger trains at Porter, Ind., Feb. 27, in which 37 person^ were killed and many injured, was placed by the interstate commerce commission bureau of safety directly upon Engineman Long and Fireman Block of the Michigan Central train. The report of the investigation conducted by W. P. Borland, bureau of safety chief, says the cause of the accident was Long's failure to observe and obey the signal governing Porter crossing. A contributing cause was the failure of Fireman Block properly to observe the home signal and his failure to give correct information to the engineer. Warsaw —Counsel for Virgil Decker, the nineteen-year-old Atwood boy accused of the murder of his companion, Leroy Lovett, issued a repudiation of his recent confession. The confession said Decker attacked Lovett with a crowbar in a cabin on Tippecanoe river and placed the body on a railroad track to destroy the evidence. The repudiation, as issued, said: “I was promised by Mr. Stout, Mr. Jones and Mr. Merrill (Pennsylvania railread detectives) that if I would confess to the murder of this boy I would be sentenced to prison for two years and then be a free man. I will say I am not guilty.” The detectives denied promising the youth a light sentence.

■ ' ■■ ' ——Q “ENGAGED!" Syaopsls. — Dr. John Michelson, j just beginning his career, becomes resident physician and companion of Homer Sidney at Hartley house. Mr. Sidney Is an American, a semtInvalid, old. and rich and very desirous to live. Mrs. Sidney Is a Spanish woman, dignified and reticent. Jed, the butler, acts like a privileged member of the family. Hartley house is a fine old Isolated country place, with a murder story, a "haunted pool," and many watchdogs, and an atmosphere of mystery. The "haunted pool" Is where Richard Dobson, son of a former owner of Hartley house, had killed his brother, Arthur Dobson. Jed begins operations by locking the doctor in his room the very first night. Doctor John fixes his door so he can’t be locked In. He meets Isobel, daughter of the house and falls in love at first sight. In the night he finds the butler drunk and holding Mrs. Sidney by the wrist. He interferes. Mrs. Sidney explains. John buys a revolver. t ■ CHAPTER ll—Continued. —3— The gardener’s name was Williamson. He had been on the place almost from the time of Mr. Sidney’s purchase of It. He was attached to it, proud of his work and fond of it and its results. He had a neat little cottage beyond the gardens. His wfe was very pleasant and thought too much of my services. Williamson himself was a fine man. and 1 am interested in gardening. Consequently, having to visit the family every day or every other day, I formed a habit of talking with him. When, by chance, I spoke of the ghost story’ to Williamson, with no more purpose than I ever had had in these inquiries, I noticed that he was a bit embarrassed. “I take no stock in the stories about the pool,” he said. "I’d just as lief pass it at midnight as midday—almost.” “Be honest, Williamson," I suggested laughingly. “Almost, I said,” he replied. “But I did see something at the pool.” He was a straightforward, unimaginative sort of man. I was sure he was Dot about to Indulge in romance. “I know something of these stories," he said. “I have not gossiped mine । about —I was coming from town late I -—after midnight. It was the second । year of our being here. It was in the I fall or late summer —I do not rememver. . ...ute a.v/u 6 me py the pool, I saw the figure of a man standing by the edge of the river. It was light enough for me to see that the figure was leaning on a stick or cane. I stopped and was going to call out, but for some reason—l don't know just why—l didn’t. The figure did not move. I began to feel creepy and went on as gently as I could. Fifty feet farther. I heard a rustling in the brush and I thought I saw a face. I couldn’t be sure, but I thought I did. I know I heard a rustling. When I got out in the open. I ran the rest of the way home on the turf.” “There was nothing very alarming about that,” I suggested. My romance needed more substance. “You saw a man and heard a noise.” “There was nothng in seeing a man and hearing a noise,” said Williamson. “It was the effect.” • “That was due to the hour ami the place.” “No. I’m not superstitious. I was not thinking of the place. The man on the bank was different from a man. I could not see why. I didn't think he I was a man. It was not because I was •cared—at first. I became scared as I looked at him. He did not move. He did not seem to he alive. When I : felt shivers starting up and down my j back, I knew I was Scared. Then when I heard the rustling. I went home us quickly and quietly as I could.” CHAPTER 111. Jed certainly was the most significant disagreeable fact in the house, and his iniluence the most significant I malignancy, lit- had been sobered by 1 the discovery of his attack upon Mrs. i Sidney, hut as he began to recover ; from his discomfiture, and as the sense of caution began to lessen, he again asserted, or suggested, control, particularly wh*n In- was drunk. He never allowed Mr. Sidney to know this. In their strange association at Horatian wine feasts. Jed was tactful, respectful. considerate and jovial. To Mrs. Sidney he was at time court teous and thoughtful, at other times disrespectful or even brutal. Some- , times he seamed to frighti n himself. When I saw th: t he was again beginning to show disrespect for her, I was | for putting an end. to it. Mrs. Sidney was horrified when I said that Jed ‘ could he brought to terms. She held up her hards. “No, rm, she said. “Not In any event! Never, please, speak to Mr. i Sidney. Please never ak of it. Jed is invaluable to Mr. Sidney. He is not so discourteous to me as you might think. Ho is gruff, and drinking does not make him better, but It is Mr. Sidney’s whim that he should drink. It would he unjust—don’t you see It would be unjust?—to make a point ney causes. Please never mention it.” promise that I never would speak to Mr. Sid: oy of Jed until I had her coa-

I could be interesting, nnd then I wag i : interested tn him. He could be stupid, ; and I avoided him. He could be surly, i and I ignored him. He could be quarrelsome, and I fought him back. It seldom was a matter of sobriety or Insobriety with him. He was best natured to me at times when he was most intoxicated. He was surliest at times when he was perfectly sober. At other times he quite reversed this. One never knew from his physical condi- | tion what his disposition might be at j the time. He served at dinner when Mrs. Sidney, Isobel and I, more ceremoniously than we cared to, dined. Pertain domestic ceremonies pleased Mr. Sidney and he liked to know that in some respects the baronial character of his ; place was being maintained as he i would have maintained it if he had : been active. When Jed was in good nature, he I frequently sought me out for talks, and when he was in good nature, I encouraged him. I did not want to open ( up any secrets the house might have, merely to learn what they were, but I j knew Mrs. Sidney needed help, and I 1 thought I might give it if I knew how. I also thought that Jed some evening | when pleasantly and good naturedly I drunk and garrulous might say more than he intended. There were many ! * opportunities, but he never did. One night—this was’ in September— ' I was walking about the place with the I mastiffs nt my side. I stood a while nt ' the edge of the woods looking nt the | house. In its shadowy bulk it seemed j fit container of mystery. Only a few I windows were illuminated. It was the | river side of the house that was bright . • at night. I walked slowly across the lawn ; toward the side where Mrs. Sidney’s ; rooms were. A small balcony opened off her sitting room. I could hear her i talking to some one on this balcony. | The person she was talking to, as I heard in another moment, was Jed. I j was then almost under the balcony. “I am a resolute man,” Jed was say- | ing. *TII have my own way. I'll have what I want. I'll make you glad to i come to terms. I’m a reasonable man. I too. Now, admit that I’ve been con- i I siderate.” I started to get out of hearing as quietly and rapidly as I could, but I heard Mrs. Sidney, her voice vibrant with indignation, say: “I ought to have you whipped.” “That is slllv. unreasonable i»«iu<» ” said Jed. - “I shall not hesitate to kill you,” said Mrs. Sidney. Then I went out of earshot. The fact that Jed could threaten Mrs. Sid- ! ney in this fashion was inexplicable, i It could not be explained by his serviceability to Mr. Sidney, great as that was. I walked about for a while, distressed and depressed: then I patted the heads’ of the mastiffs, went Indoors and to my room. An hour later I opened my door in resi>onse to a light rap. Mrs. Sidney was there. “May I come In a moment?” she asked. “Thank you. I have a request to make which you cannot help but think is extraordinary—preposterous.” ! I placed a chair for her. She thanked me but remained standing. I thought she must be in an agony of mind, but she smiled. “I hope it Is to ask me to take Jed in hand," 1 said. "No; it is to ask you to permit me to announce the engagement of my daughter Isobel to you. Don't be alarmed. It shall not make any disi/ \ ■r-W HW ■ I Might Better Have Been a Wax Figure Taken From a Display Window. f-Tence In your life. It is a desperate expedient I am using out of a difliculty.” I felt as if I were in a spiritual fog. “Is that the only way I can help you out?” I asked. “The onl.v one.” she said. “I have thought of everything.” “Has it to do with Jed again?” I asked. “With things I cannot possibly ex- ; •lain. Is there any one who would be ' distressed by such an announcement?” “Not a soul," I said, “ ex -ept .Miss I “I would not cause pain.” said Mrs. Sidney. “Arc you sure there Is no t “M.s. Sidney.” I said, “you are the i only holy who over has given me a ! bought since I know my mother. I ' । > «r ■ y wi 'di ; : what Miss Sid- I !

am not ht sftatlng. I hope I do not seem to bi j. but I know—l suspect—that your decision Is sudden.” “Isobel’s affection for us is greater than her demand for independence,” said Mrs. /Sidney. “If she knows that I asked you to consent to this announcement, she will think of you as a proved friend.” I had suggested all the precautions that were reasonable. “You certainly may mal:e any use of me you want to,” I said. She thanked me and said good nig] it. • ••••••• Isobel’ii view of our engagement was purely comic. She may have had a second of spiritual revolt, but comedy and consideration for her mother asserted themselves. Mrs. Sidney, when she told Isobel of the engagement, had me present. The mother was really embarrassed, almost flustered, but she was determined. Isobel was greatly amused. It may be imagined that I was not heroic. I might better have been a wax figure taken from a display window. I felt like one. a thing with a wax sin le and no animation. “It is merely precautionary,” said Mrs. Sidney uneasily. “It Is quite impossible.' to explain. You will have to accept qiy judgment, Isobel. Dr. John” —an oAI halfway house toward intimacy sle reached ami stopped at — “Dr. John has been kind enough to do as Tasked him. I need nnd want the support of my children in what I am doitlg.” I felt : a touch of emotion at that. Unconsciously, intent upon her main point, she had included me at the fireside atut-hrd spoken of her “children.” “Anything you do or have done is all right, mother,” said Isobel, recovering from her sense of humor. “Dr.— John —will not be unhappy—l am sure i—will you, doctor? And I—mothe1 —mother — ' I’ll get an advantage of you ia thi» — see If I don’t.” “You mustn’t try to, Isobel,” said Mrs, Sidney anxiously. "I am doing the best 1 can.” Later irt\he evening I saw Isobel, finding her alone in the library, where she was reading. I went in to get a book before going to bed. She was by a latLp near the fireplace, and she looked vWy beautiful. "I ward to talk to you.” she said when Bhd saw’ me. “Do you know the explanatran of this?” “No," I^Baid. “You areSigt quite honest," she said. “A man engaged to a girl he never asked to marry him might suspect that something was out of the ordinary.” “Os course, something is extraordinary," I said. “Do you know what it is?” “No, I don’t,” she said. "Why don't j you sit down?" With a soft witchery of femininity she pervaded nnd glorified the room, but she was peremptory. I was not sullen, but I felt defiant. “Because I don't want to sit down,” I said. Isobel smiled indulgentlyat me. “Oh, f down. Dr. John.” she said, “I wan^— talk to you. We are engaged, know, nnd engaged people I ought ve a talk after the event, yxJSgr - i i “Yon Tflerstand how this happened,” ^suggested. “I do, she said. “My mother is frightened. Jed has been trying to marry me.” “What can give him the privilege of such insolence!” I exclaimed. "I Imagine he Is enamored.” she said ; serenely. “It may seem impossible to you." “Has this man approached you direetly?” I asked. “He has been gallant, amorous, suggestive. tender, soulful, aggressive, pleading, threatening, subservient and —I think that Is all—but onl.v in manner." “I don't understand it," I said helplessly. “Neither do I,” she said. “And 1 know just enough to know that I shall not understand it. I do not like to find a Romeo among the servants, but I have learned to accept some strange conditions here—among them you." “Don't disturb yourself about me," I said. A good deal of my hurt pride must have found expression in that remark. “I am unjust.” she said. "I know that you are doing what my mother wants done and that you are not considering yourself. I shall be reasonable. I want to make my mother's life as pleasant as it can be made. I can- , not understand everything that she needs of me, but I know that you have done everything that you could do for her. I do not want to seem inconsiderate.” “I’d like to protect you and your mother,” I said. “We are indebted.” said Isobel, with a chill and unkind restraint. The i she smiled and said: “Good night, doctor. If lam inconsiderate at any time, put it down to a naturally bad temper.” Jed had taken a small shotgun and said that he was going after rabbits, which were unusually numerous ami threatened to be damaging to the young brush about the place. It was an October afternoon with a warm sun. An hour or two after Jed had gone, I went out for a walk, going down by the pool. I was in the brush for fifteen minutes’, and it happened that while I was there I saw from a little prominence tlie figure of Jed on ahead wiih his shotgun. He was some distance away, but I could see that he was going stealthily from tree to tree in an odd fashion for one hunting for rabbits. It was as if he were stalking something rather than trying to kick rabbits up out of the brush. I went on toward the pool. Once again I saw Jed ahead of me. I came out on the path and went on to the river bank, where I sat down. Whenever T saw a piece of drift in the pool and watched its movements, I thought of the body of the slain brother. It had been whirled out into the current and had been carried down stream. On the bank had been foam] a few torn bits of clothing the sleeve of a coat, a cellar spotted with blood, a necktie and n piece of a white shirt. Tbert also had been found a heavy walking stick, bloodied and with hair in the blood, 1 h."i not !•■ ‘ii sitting on the bank five a cutes w-Leu I was startled by a

shot from the nearby thicken*, and a bullet hit within two feet of where J was sitting, knocking off tlie bark ol a tree. The report was not that of a small shotgun such as Jed had ear ried. It was the report of u riile or pistol. The chipped bark showed that a bullet. not shot, had hit the tree, and I was unpleasantly conscious of what had happened. Jed had shot at me, probably with a large caliber revolver, lie could not have had a rifle, unless .he had one hidden in the brush. I ; had seen w hat he carried, not only as I ne left the house but as he was dodging through the thickets. it likely was a pistol or a revolver, j and that was why he had missed me. , I was stupefied for an instant, and I i did not Jump or start.

After a minute or two which seemed a very long time, Jed’s face came In view in the brush. He looked malevo- ' I lent but seemed undetermined and cautious.

They needed even my small help and I had to remain. I had to remain, but I had also to protect myself. Another time Jed might not miss. On the way back to the house I thought out a plan w hich I believed would work. I inquired for Jed and . was told that he was with Mr. Sidney.

Here Is a Lord Kitchener story, told by the anonymous author of “The Mirrors of Downing Street.” Kitchener was a soldier and absorbed in his profession. Details outside of his ruling passion annoyed him. During the early days of the war I Lloyd George went to him at the war office and asked the appointment of denominational chaplains fur the vari- ! ous sects of the army. i Kitchener had no interest in chap- ' : lains. He regarded them as a negligible factor in the fighting machine. He opposed the appointments. Lloyd I George insisted, especially with respect to Presbyterians. Kitchener finally i yieledd and picked up his pen. “Very well,” he said, “you shall have a Presbyterian.” Then a faint smile I lighted his serious face. “Let me see. ; Presbyterian?—how do you spell it?” Much Worse. “You’ll have to work hard If you want to win Miss Bond, the heiress.” “Yes, and I’ll have to work a deuced Bight harder if I don't.” His Choice. “I want a ouija board.” “What kind?” "Give me one that can spell.” i I
