The letters Ivan had given him to likf great friends in the Brazilian capital —letters to facilitate his flight back to the frontier —had evidently been no use to him, after all. For months past Dorothy had lived in constant fear of his capture. Such news she had expected in the telegram today, that in spite of Ivan’s heroic efforts to cover up the fugitive’s tracks, the arm of the law had seized him at last. Tver, had withheld his testimony to the very last, running the risk of being | haled into court himself on the charge of assisting a murderer to escape, not telling the tragic story of what he had seen and taken part in on the deck of the motor boat until | it was veritably forced from him at the inquiry several days later, but she had not dared to believe that’ Peter could escape the hue and cry that was subsequently raised. Dorothy was known, throughout I her . beautiful resident city, for the 'Unfailing loveliness of her appear fance—eyes always bright, cheeks .flushed, quaint frocks dainty and fresh, bobbed curls, clustering in dark glory about her head rnd around her childish, slender neck and throat—but her nearest friends would hardly have known her now. The lovely dull-red glow on her brown cheeks had faded, her sen suous mouth was drawn and hag gard with agony, her eyes like dark blotches below the brows. She bowed her lovely, bobbed head into the cushion of the divan; and the blessing of tears was hers at last. The long hours of the af ternoon dragged away. She was miserably alone; her mother was out of the city, even old Rose, her colored mammy, did not know of her grief and thus eould riot come to comfort her; and Ivan—- on whom in these past months, she had be gun to ( lean—was in high com munion \with the gods as, his violin tucked innier his clear-cut chin, he practiced lovingly in his studio. She was aroused at last by the sharp ring of the telephone bell and the shuffling st( 'ps of Nora, the sec ond girl, who went to answer it. A moment later the servant came to Tires! Tires!

Company THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER SUPPORTERS MUIT DEFEAT If MEASURE Will Sttpport Substitute For Mc- Nary Farm Relief Bill In House WASHINGTON, June 4.—Before a vote could be reached today on the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, supporters of the measure, concern ing its defeat agreed to work for the adoption of* a substitute measue. the doorway. “He say it’s Mistah Ishmin,” the servant told her stolidly. “He want to know if you feel like comm’ to de ’phone—” Dorothy hesitated, started to in struct Nora to repeat a message, then got up and went to the phone herself. “My dear girl, I have just heard the awful news,” he began in nis gentle, comforting voice. “1 just read it, in the papers,” he went on, “and I’m wondering if it would make you feel any worse U have me come cut—” ‘‘l want you to come very much,” she answered simply. “Perhaps you’d rather wait —I could come out later just as well you can ’phone me when you want me,” he went on, in his instinctive, well-bred effort to put her at her ease. “Maybe you’d like to be alone for these first hours, but if, later, I can help in any way, I am always ready.” ‘‘"No, I really want you to come. And bring the Stradivarius, if yon will. I think it will help—to hear ‘hat.” Ivan hung up, and as she wai+ed for him to come she sent Nora af‘er the latest paper. She had not ex pected that the news would be made public so soon. She found the article on the first page, and saw with re lief it was entirely fair: Pirate Cove, Alaska, December 2nd —The body of Peter Newhall of Augusta, Georgia, was picked up dead on the beach on the north coast of Alaska Peninsula. He was a victim of the wreck of the can nery-boat Juipter that went to pieces on the rocks in her effort to aid the auxiliary schooner Vigten, which w'as in distress. The aboVe news came as a great ’shock to the entire city today. Mr. Newhall was a member of one of the South’s most ancient and dis tinguished families; and although the last part of his life has been overtaken with tragedy, his friends remember him for the gcod friend, chivalrous gentleman, and social fa vorite that he was throughout the years of his young manhood. Peter Newhall was born in this city 36 years ago, the son of Colonel "Newhall cf (Jettysbug fame. He was married two years ago to Miss Dorothy Stanhope of Savannah. The affair that led to his downfall occurred in a motor-boat party on the Savannah River a year ago last summer. According to testimony brought out at the inquiry Peter had sought a bitter quarrel with Mr. Ivan Ishmin, a violinist of interna national fame who was spending the season at Aiken, South Carolina. When the men were at the verge of blows, Paul Sarichef, Ishmin’s sec retary, interfered in Ishmin’s be half, and turning on him in a fury, Newhall was heard to threaten to throw him out of the boat into the river. Ishmin himself was the sole ob-. server of the tragic Outcome of the quarrel, and torn between grief at |tho death of his secretay and loyal Ly to his friend Newhall, it was with ,'he greatest difficulty that his testi mony was drawn from him at ti<e inquiry. 4.ater this same night Ish min was aroused by angry voices, and he left his stateroom to find his secretary, Paul Sarichef, and New hall struggling on the deck; and be fore he could interfere, Newhall had hurled the unfortunate Russian into In-Cour t * i Mr Xi < I raw v**! r ' i-' > g- MXA ■ it * ? Jr Imogene Wilson, ‘‘Broadway’s most beautiful,” as she appeared in court to prosecute charges of assault against Frank Tinney, popular black-face cornelian. the water. Ishmin immediately dived to rescue him, but saw the man go down for the third time be fore he could reach his side. Almost crazed with grief, Ishmin spent most of the night in the river trying to rescue his friend’s body, but though once he saw it drifting, he lost it in the darkness and it was never re covered. Not even the officers of the law, though making every effort to ap prehend Newhall, believed that it was a wilful, premeditated murder. Newhall was deeply under the in fluence of liquor at the time, and it is believed that he committed the crime in a burst of drunken rage. According to Mrs. Newhall’s testi mony Newhall had wakened from a drunken stupor the next morning with no memory whatever of either threatening Sarichef on the deck < r of throwing him overboard. He fled to Western Alaska—far out on the Peninsula toward Siberia—and tne above telegraphic dispatch com pletes the tragic story. She read the piece through, then washed her tear-reddened eyes and waited fbr the sound of Ivan’s long, low roadster on the drive. She re solved at once to keep a brave front in his presence, mostly because of a great good-sportsmanship that Peter had found and loved in her long ago and partly, perhaps, for puely feminine reaons that were—by a long stretch of the imagination—al ,njost disloyalty to Peter’s memory. She had always cared to appear at ghsr best in Ivan’s presence. She re- Icretly wondered if this were not, 'after all, an indication that what he jhad begged for was his at last—her heart. Had her love gone out to him in .these past, bleak, miserable months ,of mourning? He fascinated her, this master violinist from the East. And there was no barrier between them now. The divorce Ivan hid urged upon her would not now be necessary; the news from far Alaska had made her free.
