was what had been set to Bpy upon
him! '
"Good evening to ye," he said Bold

' with an Interrogative eye that served

himself with no choice butto retreat,

perctely,. "I. say, have. you a match?'

- Now run along and figure it out for
yourself what I'm meaning. Good
night." ' :,. '
' He brushed past the man, leaving
him a&tare in sudden pallor, and wont
his way, more than a' little disgusted
with himself for his- lack of discre
tion. As matters turned out, however,
he had little to reproach himself with;
tor his outbreak served to keep young
Glynn at a respectful, distance
throughout the remainder of the voy
age. . They met but once more, and
on that occasion the Englishman be
haved himself admirably according to
. the tenets of his caste met O'Rourke's
challenging gaze without a flicker et
recognition, looked him up and down
calmly with the deadly ennuled air
peculiar to the ; underdone ; British
youth of family and sdclal position,
and wandered crjrr.ly awry.
O'Rourke watched hira out of sight,
a smile of appreciation curving his
Hps aad tempering the perturbed and
dangerous "light in his eyes. "There's
tuff in the lad, after all," he con
ceded without a grudge, "If he can
. ' carry a situation oft like that I'm
doubting not at all that something
mlirlit be whipped out of him. If he
weren't what he's made himself a
lave to whisky."- - . .
For all of which appreciation, how
ever, he soon wearied of Mr. Glynn.
During the first day ashore it was not
so bad; there was something amusing
In being so openly dogged by a well-
. set-up young Englishman who had
Quite ceased to dlegutse his Interest.
, But after that hip shadowy surveillance
proved somewhat distracting to a man
busy with Important affairs. And to
ward evening of the second " day
O'Rourke lost patience.
' All -day long in the sun, without
respite he had' knocked about from pil
lar to post of Algiers, seeking news of
Chambret; and not until the eleventh
hour had he secured the Information
be Heeded. Thon, hurrying back to
his hotel, he made arrangements to
j have his luggage cared for during an
absence, of indeterminate '., duration,
hastily crammed a few indispensables
Into tt kit box, and having dispatched
that to the railway terminal, sought
the restaurant for an early, meal.
In the art of consuming his soup he
became; aware that, the Honorable
Bertie, In a dinner coat and a state of
fidgets, had wandered down the outer
Aurririnr. iiassed at the restaurant door
and espied his uuarry. The fact that
O'Rourke was dining with one eye
on the clock and In a dust proof, dust-
, ..Won 'unit nf drill, was enough to
dlBturb seriously the poise of the Eng'
Ilshman. . .
Exasperation stirred in O'Rourke
He eyed the young man rather morose

dictates of prudence. And at length
swallowing his coffee and feeing his
servitor, he rose, crossed the room
with a firm tread, and came to a full
stop at the Honorable Mr. Glynn's ta.
ble. : - . V''-: :
. Momentarily he held his tongue,
Btarlng down at the young man while
drumming on the marble with the fin
gers of one hand. Then Glynn, glanc
ing up fn a state of somewhat panlc-
Hetricken Inquiry which strove vainly
to seem insouciant, met the level
stare of the adventurer and ' noticed
the tense lines of his lips. -
"I I say," he floundered, "what's
the matter with you, anyway T Cant
you leave me a lone?"; y a V
"I've been thinking," said O'Rourke
crisply,; disregarding: the other's re
mark entirely, "that It might be of in
terest to ye to save ye a bit of bother
ation to know that I'm going up to
BlBkra by tonight's train. It leaves in
ten minutes, so I'll have to forego -the
pleasure of your society on tho trip."
Glynn got a grip on hlmr o"f and
pulled together the elements of his
manhood. He managed to infUBe blank
insolence into his stare, and said
"Ow?" with that singularly maddening
Inflection of which the Englishman
tlone is master; as who should say;
''Why the dooce d'you annoy me with
i your bally plans?"
"Don't believe I know you, do I?"
he drawled.
"I don't believe ye do, me lad."
"Can't say I wish to very badly,
either."- ... ':,':
. "I believe that," O'Rourke chuckled
grimly, '.. . y
The meaning In his tone sent the
blood into the young man's face, a
Ilary flood of resentment, v "
"Oh, I'm not afraid of you, "y'know,",

"Oh, will ye so? Te mean to warn

."Oh, don't you think I mind giving

.. Truth waa speaking from the bottom
5f the absinthe tumbler. O'Rourke'a
brows went up and he whistled noise
lessly, for he realized hat at least
31ynn believed what he was admit
ting. , "So that's the way of it, eh?

Republicans ' Agree To

Peking, Dec. 26-Early mediation by
the powers to induce the Chinese revo

is now probable i'-' J rW
It Is stated on "excellent authority
that the: recent ' agreement between
Gieat Britain and Japan, which osten
sibly was only to extend friendly offices
at Shanghai.' also prov:ded that the
allies co-operate to promote a settle

a constitutional monarchy. - .
' The Chinese Government has been
advised by its ministers abroad that
Great Britain and Japan have made
overtures to other powers with the
view of obtaining co-operative action
alonir these lines, '
While only, friendly mediation is pro
posed, this ia construed to imply active
intervention in support of the existing
Government unless the revolutionists
manifest some spirit of compromise.
Without doubt there are many moder
ates in the South who look favorably
upon a monarchy, but are not permit

Hookworm germs may gain entrance
to the body either through the skin or

manifested by four stages, namelj ;

South Will Derive Great Benefit
From Distribution of Pcabody
. Fund.
New York, Dee. 27 An appeal to
friends of education in America for $1.-
000,000 to make the George Peabody
College for Teachers at Nashville Tenn.
a great final memorial to Mr, Peabody 's
Mmncent service to the South and the
educational crown of the system of
schools now established in that section
is embadried in a U-gthy statement irom
the trustees of the Peabody Education
Fund issued tonight. :
i The trustees give notice of having
voted to close the trust pursuant to the
permission given them by the founder
after distributing millions in building
up State systems of public schools, aid
ing the development of rural schools
and establishing departments of edu
cation in the State universities.
"Since 1865," the statement contin
ues, "the Peabopy Fond has aided in
maintaining the Peabody Normal Col
lege at Nashville, Tenn , as the cen
tral and leading normal school for the
South, in closing the trust, the trustees
have undertaken to found as a succes
sor to this the George Peabody College
for Teachers."
The statement goes on to explain
that this institution is to be for the
higher education of teachers through
out the Boutn. ;
.To this end the trustees have given a ' mean an exigency in 1916 and a Diaz
sum of $1,000,000. concurrent with gif.s election in 1920. Now, when we con

land, with buildings, by the University i hat the abrogation Of the third-term
of Nashville. In the final dissolution,
of the Peabody fund the trustees have
offered to endow the college with au -
additional $500,000, provided that with i
in two years from November 1, 1911,
the college raises $1,000,000. ,
"All experts on the subject," the
statement continues, "know that sucl
a college is the greatest crying nerd of
the South today. The Southern States, j
with a Courage and self-sacrifice rarely j
if ever, equaled, are devoting every i
year from 35 to 40 per cent of the L
amount raised by taxation to the edu
cation of both races, wisely recognizing
that this is their best hope for the f u
ture. But these sums must go . to the
public schools and State institutions.
Much as this central teachers' college
is needed to do a work which no State
are barred by constitutional limitations
from contribution to its maintenance."

inexpensive and harmless. If all people

Authorities have agreed that the dis

causes well known: that their spread
may be prevented and stamped out and
kept out by proper precautions.
Is it not infinitely wiser to prevent

JOHN COLLETT'S STATEMENT.
John Collett, of Rhode Island, was
one of the young men with yonng Ave
ry when he was killed. He stated that
Avery, Morgan Shaw and himself were
out for. a walk on the night of the trag
edy, and were in no way molesting any
one. That they waiked up Cedar street
and when near the corner they noticed
some commotion. ' That when in front
of the house in which Bryan was stay
ing that he (Bryan) rushed out of the
door and wanted to know what you
are doing around here. That he told
Bryan that was none of his business,
snd that Bryan rushed at him, struck
him, and at the ssme time fired point
blank at young Avery.. That all three
of the young men then ran toward a
bouse further down the street, and .
that Bryan followed them and yelled
that if they did not get into the house .
he would kill the other two. That be
and Shaw ran around to the back door
and passing on through the house found
Avery dead on the front steps.
Young Shaw a statement was practi
cally the same as Mr. Collett's.
THOUGHT CARTRIDGE WAS A BLANK.
Bryan was brought from the count7
jail at the afternoon session of the in
quest He was in a Btate of collapse,
and at times his evidence was almost
incoherable. The Bubstance of his tes
timony was that he did not know the
pistol was loaded with cartridges.
The Coroner committed Bryan to jail
without bail and he will be compelled
to remain there until the next teem of
court which convenes in February. '
The remains of young Avery will be
buried this afternoon in Cedar Grove
cemetery.
