Storm of Protest
Over Sales Barns
Grand Island Citizens Threat
en to Set Fire to Stables
and Shoot Cattle.
Grand Island. Neb.. April 7.
(Special.) With threats to set fire
to the large horse barns and shoot
cattle driven through the streets,
property owners in the sales barn dis
trict appealed to the city council tor
redress from the smell of the Darns.
' At least a half dozen similar appeals
have been made.
The property owners allege that
there is danger of their children pe
ing trampled by livestock being
driven from one barn to another.
' They also say that horses jump their
fences and damage garden plots. The
slumbers of the petitioners are also
disturbed by the bellowing of the
cattle, they assert. '
One of the women petitioners told
the council that another woman in
the neighborhood, whose child re
cently had a narrow escape from
being tarmplcd by cattle threatened
to set fire to the entire barn sec
tion if her child should be injured
and the council continued to ignore
the protests.
Another petitioner in the open
council session indicated that tres
passing cattl would be shot unless
the council acted promptly. - The
council instructed the board of
. health to make a thorough investiga
tion. Screen Fans Turn Out to

pended tipon it, and Royston went
on: It was kind of you to come to
night. Miss Conycrs; it will be some
thing for me to look upon when you
are famous."
Elizabeth's eyes dilated.
"What do you mean?" she asked
breathlessly. "Anyone would think
would think, she laughed shakily,
that I was never going to see you
again.
Royston put down his glass.
"Oh, we're not going to suppose
anything so tragic as that we shall
never meet again." he said lightly,
but I dare say it will not be some

childishly, as he paused.
lou. he went on more firmly,
"you wilt have your own life to lead,
Miss Lonyers. 1 know 1 know it
seems rather a dreadful prospect to
you just at first, this idea of going
among strangers, but it's wonderful
how soon one gets used to things,
and I am sure you are no excep
tion. In a week or two you will be
just as much at home with Mme. Se
nestis and and Farmer as you are
now with me and Nctta. Why, when
I first met you, 'you were just as
scared of me.
"That isn't true." said Elizabeth,
and you know it isn t. i was never
scared of you, not even from the first
minute. There was something about
you " She stopped, realizing the
hopelessness of her position. How
could she explain herself to him and
what was there possible of explana
tion?
That she loved him, that was all.
An explanation so simple and yet one
which could never be made.
I suppose you're right," she said
with trembling lip: "I never looked
at it that way, but but I thought
somehow you would come and see
me sometime or that that I could
come and see you: however, if you
don't want to "
"Whether I want to or not is be
side the point," he said gerftly. "With
Mme. Senestis vou'will meet people
who to put it plainly will look
down on me. In the ordinary course
of events Farmer and I do not speak..
The other night was an exception
because he wished to be introduced
to you. From his point of view, he
is right: he's a rich man and gets
bout in places where I should be
tound only if someone wanted to
learn a new two-step. It's no use,
my dear," he added earnestly, as he
saw the distress in her face. "If
we live in the world we've got to
accept the world as it is, and you'll
soon realize that I am right. You
must go with the tide; it's no use
trying to swim against it if you want
to be successful. If I'd been a rich
man, as I always imagined I should
be, things might have been different,
but then I should never have met
you, so, alter all, there are compen
sations, you sec, he submitted
whimsically.
Elizabeth did not smile; she sat
with her hands clasped tightly in her
lap, her cheeks very flushed and her
eyes downbent.
When, quite suddenly, she raised

their grayness.
