ROCKVILLE, Md., August 28.—The seventy-third annual Rockville fair was brought to a close last night with an elaborate display of fireworks and stunts in front of the grandstand. The attendance, day and at night, was large and the augmented receipts enable the association to about break even financially on the four-day ex- hibition. Bad weather the first two days alone, it is thought, prevented this year’s fair from being one of the most successful. The dog show yesterday, managed by J. Allen Hoffar of Washington, was not concluded until late in the afternoon, so numerous were the entries. Whitestone Freckles, owned by Judge Harry J. Hunt of Bethesda, was adjudged the best English setter. Redland Ferris, belonging to Robert W. Farmer of Redland, Md., was best among the pointers.

NN MONTAGUE started out for the office rather earlier than usual one cold Winter's morning. It had been snow- ing and she decided to make allowances for possible delay. She had never yet been late and she was particularly anxious just now to do nothing to interfere with her well earned reputation for punctuality. A year ago she had taken a course in efficiency. It had cost her at the time more than she could easily af- ford, but she was congratulating ber- self on it now that her swift rise in her new position proved that it was money wisely spent. Miss Darnell, the office manager, was leaving to be married at the end of the month, and Ann hoped, not without reason, that the managership would be offered to her. From the first, Miss Darnell had signaled®her out, given her plenty of epportunity to show her efficiency and Ann felt that she had always been equal to the occasion. She knew the office upside down and insidé out, could lay her hand in & moment on any information that might be wanted. She had kept to herself, too, not making friends with the other girls. She did not be- lieve, for one thing, in too great fa- miliarity, and since Miss Darnell had glven her a hint that she was leaving, Ann had held even more aloof. You can’t be friendly with a girl one min- ute and reprimand her the next! Ugh! It was bitterly cold. In spite of her rubbers and her spats her ankles were wet. She plodded on, her feet sinking deeper and deeper into the snow. “Me-ow, said the kitten piteously. Ann stood stock still. The creature was actually rubbing itse}f agalnst her galitered legs. “Shoo,” said Ann, but the sound was less a rebuff than a caress and the Kkitten, after a semi-startled up- ward glance, continued to dry itself against this comforting human being. “There, there,” Ann leaned down and stroked the wee, hedraggled ob- ject, then pulled herself together. She had no time to stop and look after stray kittens. This one did look mis- erable and half starved, but it was no business of hers, anyway. The kitten, however, evidently thought it was, for as she moved on it tried to keep up with her. Again she stopped and pre- tended to shoo it away. It just looked up at her pleadingly. How thin it was, how abjectly it craved her help. Catching it up in her warmly gloved hands she held it against her breast. Immediately the creature began to purr happily. Ann stood irresolute. If she didn’t hurry she’d be late. What in the world was she to do with this little, clinging thing? With a quick movement she slipped it into the pocket of her heavy coat and hur- ried on to the subway. It was warm in the train and the kitten settled comfortably to sleep, and while she walked the block and a half to the office Ann forgot all about it. She was thinking again of the appointment which would prob- ably be made that week, and wonder- ing whether or not she would get it. As Ann came into the building the junior partner was entering the eleva- tor; he stood aside to let her pass. As he did so his glance was at- tracted by a movement, and looking down he saw twe very bright eyes looking at him from over the top of Ann's pocket. The movement in- creased. The junior partner raised his eyes to Ann’s face, which grew crimson as her hand slid down into her pocket, trying to stay that per- petual motion. But the kitten was hungry now and would not be pacified. Me-ow,” it cried piteously. ‘‘Me- ow. The junior partner looked at Ann questioningly. She avoided his eyes. Whatever would he think of her bringing a kitten, a wretched, dirty little kitten, to the office? “Me-ow, me-ow,” came more loudly from Ann's pocket. The junior parner’s smile broad- ened. With flaming cheeks, Ann me-ow,"” PACKING & STORAGE. “OH FANNY !

Ann went down on her knees and fed the kitten. The junior partner, whose curios- ity demanded’ satisfaction, coming in unexpectedly, found her that way, and as he caught the look in her eyes his own grew very kind. Half an hour later he and the senior partner were in conference. Their conversation was the sequel to one they had held the previous afternoon, in which they had agreed that al- though Miss Montague was very effi- clent and capable, they felt that she was lacking in human sympathy and therefore would not make a satisfac- tory officé manager. What he had seen this morning had made the junlor partner recon- sider his opinion. “If you had seen her bending over that kitten, with the most”— he stopped a moment, hesitating, then went on, “the most motherly look in her eyes, you'd know that she'd not be hard on the girls, would understand and make allowances.” The senior partner grunted pleas- antly. “I'm glad of that. I liked the girl myself and admired her skill and ac- curacy, but we can't afford to have a machine at the head of our office.” That afternoon Ann received a sum- mons from the partners. She answered it with fast-beating Heart eart. The Interview was short and to the point. “Miss Montague,” said the senfor partner kindly, “Miss Darnell fs leav- ing us at the end of the month. Do you think you can take on her work?” Ann blushed, then grew pale, glanc- ing hurriedly at the junior partner as though expecting him to interfere. As their eyes met something passed between them, then reluctantly the junior partner withdrew his glance. Very quietly, very collectedly, Ann spoke: . “Thank you, Mr. Sampson, do_my utmost to fill her plac But the mother look he hwd sur- prised in Ann’s eyes haunted the jun- for partner. He wasn't satistied till he had seen it there again as she ked down upon the new and, “jun- ioMst” partner. (THE END.) DOG COSTS PRIEST LIFE. Pastor, 88, Hit by Street Car on Way to Visit Pet, 25. WAUKEGAN, 111, August 28 (#).— Love of a priest for his dog led Fr. E. W. Gavin, 88 years old, almost blind, to his death yesterday. He was struck by a street car, dying of a skull fracture, while en route to make his daily visit to his pet, now nearly 25 years old. The dog has been un- der treatment by a veterinarian. The priest, pastor of Immaculate Conception parish for 54 years, and the aging animal had been almost in- separable companions.

By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Oreg., August 28.— Charging that Frederick Steiwer of Pendleton won the Republican sen- atorjal nomination in the May prim- ary election through ‘“‘unfair meth- ods,” Senator Robert Stanfield has withdrawn his support from Steiwer and will announce Tuesday whether he will become an independent candi- date in November. “In view of the unfair methods which I consider Mr. Steiwer made use of during the primary campalgn, itf would be inconsistent and impos- sible for me to indorse Mr. Steiwer’s candidacy at the Fall election,” Sen- ator Stanfleld said in a statement ves- terday. “I therefore at this time withdraw my proffer of support given at a time when I was not apprised of the facts showing his conduct during the primary.” Referring to suggestion that he be- come an independent candidate at the November election, Senator Stanfield sald that he would announce his de- cision Tuesday. In the meantime, he said he would complete his investigation of the pub- lication in the primary campaign of a “Yellow Ticket.” That ticket pur- ported to include Stanfleld among a number of capdidates inferentially in- dorsed by the Ku Klux Klan. Stan- field declares that it had injured him in_the campaighn. He declared that he was convinced of the truth of charges made by W. S. U'Ren of Portland that Steiwer's campaign expense statement had omitted account of $230 alleged paid to Charles E. Henshaw, a Portland political worker, and inferences in the U'Ren charges that the Stelwer organization had been responsible for the publication of the yellow ticket.

CONSTANTINOPLE, August So as not to shock religious senti- ment by executions on Friday, the holy day of the Moslem world, the four Unionists who were sentenced to death yesterday at Angora on charges of conspiring to slay Mustapha Ke- mal Pasha, President of Turkey, were hanged just before the midnight hour. The executed men ‘were Djavid former finance minister; Dr. Nazim Bey, former minister of edu- cation, and on2 of the leaders of the 1906 revolt against the late Sultan Abdul Hamid; Hilmi Bey, a former deputy, and Nail Bey, a former sec- retary of the Unionist party. Four gallows were erected in the public courtyard before the central prison in Angora, and so arranged that the condemned men could not see one another die. All four died bravely. Djavid Bey on mounting the scaffold declaimed Turkish poetry. Nail Bey sat himself down on the gibbet platform and, when ordered to arise, excused him- self, remarking humorously that it was the first time he had ever found bimself in such a situation. He beg- ged the officlals to see properly to his hanging. ‘The rope slipped off the gallows' arm when Hilmi Bey was executed and he had to be hanged over again. All the men protested their innocence of the charges against them. Their bodies were left exposed to public view until morning, a gruesome sight in_their white overalls. ‘These 4 executions bring the num- ber of men hanged for the alleged conspiracy against the life of Mus- tapha Kemal to 17, prominent Union- ists numbering 13 having been hanged recently at Angora. Five other ac- cused men have been sentenced to perpetual banishment and were sent to different places in the mountainous deserts of the interfor of Turkey. IDENTIFIED AS ROBBER.

WALTER PACK Peabody Refutes Charges of Lewis That Rival Is in Employ of Concern. By the Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, 11, August 8. Charges that Frank Farrington, presi dent of the Illinois district of mine workers, had signed a three-year con tract with ‘the Peabody Coal Co. of Chicago at $25,000 a year, have been denled by Stuyvesant Peabody, presi dent of the concern. The charges, which members of the Illinois executive board said were made over the signature of John L Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America. accompanied a demand from Mr. Lewis that Farring- ton be dismissed or his resignation obtained, bringing into the open a long standing dispute between the tw Mr. Peabody's denial was made in Chicago last night. “All that I have to say s that Far rington is not now and never has been ;:Mlho employ of our company,” he Lewis, who left Indianapolls late yesterday by automobile for Spring- field, his home, to spend the week end, declared he “had nothing to say yet,” but it was expected that some further statement would be forthcom- ing upon his arrival here today. The executive hoard. acting upon the evidence placed before it., cabled Farrington., who is at Parls on a European tour. asking if he did not “intend to resign.” and an officlal said that “we expect Farrington's resigna tion any time.” Lewis and Farrington have been at odds for several vears, their enmity runping back to the time they wel vals for the International presidenc Some miners’ officlals have believed that Farrington was planning a seces. sion from the natfonal organization State Senators Willlum J.

At Good Dealers Everywhere. Where Fools Place Their Money A shrewd old wag once defined a mine as “a hole in the ground where fools dumped their money.” Of course, this i somewhat exaggerated. There are many mining propositions already proven and the securities of which represent conservative investments; but it is true that all unproven mines must not be con- sidered as conservative investments, but have specula- tive elements ranging from a mild chance to a vicious gamble. No one can tell what is under the ground. The one way to tell whether unproven lands have mineral worth is to dig the mine. This is an expensive opera- tion. Sometimes the results are gratifying. Other times the minerals are not there and the investor loses his money. Remember the Better Business Bureau slogan when you are solicited to invest.
