The Inter national Machinists Association to day adopted a resolution to the effect that "after due consideration we ac cent the challenge of the National Metal Trades Association, and in accepting-this declaration of war we cheerfully pick up the gauntlet and hurl back defiance. We never will accept any modification of our de- manda or resume labor until the cause for which we struggle is triumph ant and a shorter work day is an ac complished fact."

The girl was looking out of the win dow, humming softly, with a fine air of Indifference. The man was leaning his back against the mantelpiece, gloomily observing the points of his boots. They were good boots, but hardly worth the amount of serious observa tion he was giving them. To any per son of moderate understanding the sit uation was obvious. To the two actors in It It was becoming embarrassing. The man moved first. "You are sure your mind Is made up, Georgle?" The girl stopped humming abruptly and turned round. "What Is the use of beginning again?" she said, with an impatient movement. "You know one cannot 6ervetwd masters. I am going to give my life to my art" "But, Georgie, you know what It means to me. I mean .you know I could never change or forget." "Why not?" she returned quickly. "That is Just what I wanted to speak to you about. You see"and her proud head was raised a trifle higher "you only want a wife who can see that you get a good dinner every day and sew the buttons on your shirts. You have known us all for years. Why do you expect me, the unpractical one of the family, to snatch at the offer of this post? You would have shown more sense In asking Madge or Lillian, and I dare say one of them might have had you." For a moment there was a dangerous gleam In his eyes, but it changed to a tender look of amusement as the girl flung herself viciously into a chair with the air of a sulky child. "I suppose It would have been more sensible," he agreed, "only I dont love either Madge or Lilian. If you will on ly have me," he continued, a twinkle In his eye and abject humility in his voice, "I will do ray best to overcome my disgraceful appetite and dine off a sentimental song if you deem It best. I will also look out for some patent shirt fasteners which will save you the trouble of sewing on buttons." Georgie looked up quickly. "You needn't try to be funny, Rex!" she said severely. "You know quite well I should have to become a domes ticated woman If I -married, and I won't I am going to devote my life to mu6ie, and if I were to sacrifice that and marry you I should stop loving you in a fortnight and hate you In a month. There; that's all:" Rex looked up quickly. "You would stop loving me in a fort night?" he asked. "Then I may infer you have begun already?" "You may infer nothing, sir!" she re torted sharply, but her face was crim son. 1 "By Jove, that's tile nearest I've ever got!" thought Rex. ""I believe she docs half like me, but must make her cave In before she'li respect me." There f as ti moment's pause, then he said gently: "I beg jour pardon, Georgie. I. be lieve you may be right, after all, though it Is hard to think of giving you up." And he sighed softly, but resign edly. "If you are not too ailgry with me, will you tell me which you think it would be best for me to try to like, Lilian or Madge?" , "I am so glad, Rex, you are sensible at last! Really, I have thought it out carefully, and, though Lilian Is awful ly sweet and and everything, I think Madge is the one best suited to jou. You see, she cooks splendidly and knows exacti how everything ought to be done lrr a house and would be perfectly satisfied if you kissed her once a month or so and occasionally said the dinner was excellent. She really would, she Is so easily; pleased. While I Well, you know; what I am." "Yes, I know what you are," he re plied quietly. "You are very young." She misunderstood him, as he had intended she should, and assented eagerly. "Yes, I am young only 19 and you are nearly 30. Madge is nearest you In age, and I believe you could make her love you if you tried." "Shall I try? Do ytu want me to?" "Yes, of course I want you to. It is for your own sake. She would make you a better wife than I because I don't want even to bo loved. I am oatlsfied with my life'as It Is." "All right, Georgie.' In a month ' I shall have' made up my mind, and I will tell you. Goodby." "Goodby," she murmured, vaguely afraid of what she had done. . She tried to reason out the cause of her de pression, but It seemed to have no cause, and with a lagging step she made her way to the sunny den which she shared with her sisters. Madge was sitting there alone, sew ing and singing gayl'y. She looked up. jwlth a smile as Georgie entered, and an unusual merriment danced In her eyes. "Guess who's been here?" exclaimed Madge. "Who?" "Rex. And he's got a box for 'The Loves of Henrietta' tomorrow, and he's asked mother and me to go." "I'm so glad," said Georgie, but with singular want of enthusiasm. And Madge stole a furtive look at her, and the corners of - her mouth quivered. A month had passed. Once more Georgie stood at the same window, softly humming, j She was waiting for Rex, and her face was very pale. It was the same face still, but there was a difference, the difference which marks every girl's face when she be comes a woman. ' She had learned her lesson and borne her punishment in silence. Today she had nerved herself for a supreme effort that she might do no wrong to the sister who had stepped Into the place. she had voluntarily re signed. V She had thought love not worth the sacrifice of art, and if art without love had turned to dust and ashes in her hand who was to blame but herself? She was waiting for Rex-Rex, who had fallen such a helpless victim to Madge that he had had scarcely a look or a word to spare for her the whole month. It was this that had first taught her what she had lost and that had afterward nerved her to play her part for a week's experience had taught her that it was only a part of careless' indifference and entire ab sorption in her art. When it seemed too hard for her, she reminded herself sternlypf herown words, "1 aid "6af!sBea with my Tife as It is." - V "They shall never see I ain not satis fled," she said and struggled on. Today there was a set, stern look on her face, for this was to be the su preme ordeal, and at present there was no one to see her. But as she leaned her bend listlessly against the window there came from the hall the sound of a familiar whistle, and Instantly her expression changed. A'smiliu.-r. ex pectant face greeted Rex as !:. entered, and she scrutinized him with playful 1 anxiety. j "The funeral and wedding marches are side by side on tne piano, sue oe gan, with an affected attempt at seri ousness, "but I was waiting to choose between them till I have seen your face." "What does my face tell you?" he asked. She looked at him critically. "That the momentous question Is to be asked no later than this evening," she replied. "Good luck attend you." "Wrong. Try again.". "Is It possible It Is to be postponed till tomorrow morning?" And she held out her hand with a playful gesture of sympathy. "Wrong again. I see I must tell you." He had seized the hand she had offer ed and was looking her straight in the face. "What do you say, to the question having been asked already?" The last month had wrought many changes In Georgie. She bad, for one thing, learned to keep her face under control, and only the slightest trem bling of the eyelid showed that she was taken by surprise. "My dear brother to be." she said, re gaining possession of her hand. "1 con sider I have been grossly ill treated in having this fact sprung upon me so suddenly. I had heard of a delightful little book called 'The Right Yil in the Right Place' a help to those peo ple born devoid of tact. 1 was going to purchase It In the assurance that I should find a paragraph entitled. 'What to say to a future brother-in-law.' y.v words to that effect, ami now you pounce upon me like this and crush me. I feel unfit for conversation. You had better go." And she turned majestical ly away. "I wilL Only you must tirst allow me to make one remark. You did not ask what Madge said to me." tie paused Impressively. "She has refused me." It was his trump card, and he was growing desperate. He took advantage of Georgle's back being still turned to ward him, and, creeping softly behind her, took one glance at her face before she knew he had moved. It was enough. "Georgie," he cried, "hasn't the play ' gone far enough? I am tired of acting, and I want you, Georgie I can't tell you how much I want you!" There was passionate entreaty in his voice. "What did you mean." she asked slowly, "by saying you were 'tired of acting? I don't understand." "Xo; I know," he answered guiltily. "I've got to tell you. Madge and I have been playing at being lovers dur ing the last month. 1 have even asked her to marry me, and she has refused. It was the natural climax to the play, she said, and she told me to do it. be cause nothing else woul.l put you off your guard. I had to know whether you loved mo or not," he ended des perately. Vlt was very cruel." she whispered at last. "Ah. Georgie, don't!" he entreated. "I thought of that. but. honestly, wculd yon ever have known yon Joved me if we had gone on In the same old way?" There was a moment's silence. "I should never have known I loved you," she answered softly. Chicago Times-nerald. Rest Your Eyes.

Wind, Rain and Hail Swept Over the Territory Last Friday With Destructive Force. MANY PERSONS WERE KILLED The Towa of Eddy Blown Away At Ton kawa Two Churches and Thirty Resi dences Demolished Kintfteher City Swept by Clond Burst. By Telegraph to the Morning star. Pebey, O. T., June 8 The storm which passed over Eastern Oklahoma last night was the most severe since the opening of the strip. A feature of the storm was the extent of the ter ritory covered. Sweeping down Irom the Kansas State line and cov cring about fifty miles in width, the rain, wind and hail swept over the country as far south as Oklahoma. The rain fell in torrents from early in the evening until midnight. The fury of the storm centered in a cyclone at about 6. SO P. M., which formed at a point near the Kansas State line and just on the county lines of Grant, Kay and Oklahoma. The twister took a southeasterly course and was disas trous in an area of ten miles square in eastern Kay county. The little town of Eddy was struck and of the twelve or fourteen buildings in the place, aU were levelled to the ground, except the railroad station and an elevator. The people of the town sought places of safety. One unknown man was killed and several persons were slightly injured by flying debris.- The track of the cyclone between this point and Tonkawa, a distance of about eight miles, was laid waste. Five farm houses with barns and outbuild ings were blown away, but all the oc cu pants escaped without injury. Fine fields of wheat in the midst of harvest were laid waste. The tail end of the cyclone fell with terrible force upon Tonkawa. Thirty dwellings and bus iness houses were scattered like loose timber. The citizens of the town had been watching the advance of the storm and had sought shelter in caves and cellars. No fatalities are reported at this point, and only a few persons received scratches, which is almost miraculous, considering the devasta tion. Enid, O. K June .8 The worst storm in years swept .over the terri tory last night. It was particularly severe in Noble and Kay counties. The gale commenced at 10 p. m., and by 1 a; m. was blowing at tornado speed, carrying everything before it. At Billings, Noble county, much damage was done. Seven people were killed and many severely injured. A cloud burst occurred near Hennessey, Kingfisher county, and Kingfisher city suffered severely. Town Blown Away. Blackwell, O. T., June 8. A de structive rain and hail storm visited here last night, killihg three persons and doing much damage to property. J. H. Crawford, a prominent cotttrac tor, was killed by lightning. Eddy, a town twelve miles southwest of here, was blown away. At that place, two persons were killed and several others injured. Tonkawa, O. T., June 8.-A terri ble wind and rain storm struck this place at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon and lasted two hours, causing much damage. Two big church buildings and about thirty residences were dam aged. Twelve houses were torn down and blown away. The Salt Fork river is full of wreckage of houses and fur nishings. Barns were torn away, hut buggies and horses that were in them left, standing unmoved. The people sought shelter in caves, and in this way many were saved from personal injury.

Killing chinchilla with the aid of dyna' mite is one of the lucrative pastimes of the South American Indians which en rich the commerce of the world very con siderably. , . , . , ' High in the mountains the nimble foot ed chinchilla are caught and killed by half savage Indians. Tact and skill are needed to lure the cautious little auimal from its hole in the earth. Originally the Indians used to use cactus prongs, which are long and sharp, to capture them in their holes by impaling them on the end of this natural spear. This punc tured the skin and impaired its- value. The trappers tried to smoke the chin chilla out by making great fires near the entrance of the burrows, but the smoke, it was found, caused the skin,to turn yel low, which seriously depreciated its val ue. Now the more progressive Indians use dynamite. After locating the chinchilla they form a network of grass and hardy plants, which is placed around the hill on the side of which the animal digs its holes. A dynamite cartridge with a time fuse at tached is then discharged in the center of the net, which frightens the chinchilla so that they leave their holes and scamper wildly to and fro about the space inside the net. The Indians then dash into the arena with clubs and kill them by strik ing them over the head. This is consid ered the easiest and best method of kill ing them, as it does not in any way dam age the skins, which vary in value from $3 .to $15 each. When it is considered that as many as 100 animals are killed in one sortie of this character, the value of the skins to 4;he Indians, who are shrewd commercial traders, may be imagined. Some of the tribe own ferrets, which they use to good advantage. They pay as much as $5 for one. The ferrets are taken to the mountain tops aud sent through the furrows, chasing the chin chilla out into the open where they are clubbed to death with celerity by the waitinj? Indians. The skins are removed immediately and placed on shrubs to dry. The evening meal of the trappvrs often consists of the bodies of the sluin ro dents, the meat of which is frhite and tender. The hearts of the latter are giv en to the ferrets. A great part of the trapping is done at night, the chinchilla seldom beiiif; visible in the daytime. The nights arc cool and clear, and. there being but little vege tation at the height where the chinchilla are caught, the mountains are for a long period each month illuminated by the rays of the moon, enabling the Indians to move about with jrreat agility for their prey. The chinchilla lives princi pally on herbs and often when it comes out to feed is trapped by the Indians. Four times a year the tribes dercend Into the scmicivilized villages at the base of the mountains with their skins. There they are met by the various agents of the European fur houses. One American house has its representative there too. The occasion of the Indians' arrival is usually made -a religious festival. Chi cago Times-Herald. III. Good .Wife.
