CHAPTER X.
What Does It Matter?
The days immediately following the
receipt of those three remarkable let
ters by the Blaisdell family were
nerve-racking for all concerned. Held
by Mrs. Jane's insistence that they
weren't sure yet that the thing was
true, the family steadfastly refused to
give out any definite information
fc,ven the eager Harriet yielded to
Jane on this point, acknowledging
that it would be mortifying, of course.
if they should talk and nothing came
of it:
ineir enigmatic answers to ques
tions, and their expressive shrugs and
smiles, however, were almost as ex
citing as the rumors themselves; and
the Blaisdells became at once a veri
table storm center of surmises and
gossip a state of affairs not at all un
pleasmg to some of them, Mrs. Har
riet in particular.
Miss Maggie fun, however, was
not so well pleased. To Mr. Smith,
one day, she freed her mind and
Miss Maggie so seldom freed her
mind that Mr. Smith was not a little
surorised.
"I wish," she bgan, "I do wish that
if that Chicago lawyer is coming,
he d come, and get done with it! Cer
tainly the present state of attain is
always unbearable."
"It does make it all the harder for
you, to have it drag along like this,
doesn't it?" murmured Mr. Smith un
easily. , "For me?-"
'"That you are not included in the
bequest, I mean."
She gave an impatient gesture.
"I didn't mean that. I wasn't think
ing of myself. Besides, as I've told
you before, there is no earthly reason
why I should have been included. It's
the delay, I mean, for. the Blaisdells
for the whole town, for that matter.
This eternal 'Did you know?' and
'They say' is getting on my nerves 1"
"Why, Miss Maggie, I didn't sup
pose you had any nerves," bantered
the man.
, She threw him an expressive
glance.
"Haven't I!" she retorted. Then
again she gave the impatient gesture.
"But even , the gossip and the ques
tioning aren't the worst. It's the
family themselves. Between Hattie's
pulling one way and Jane the other,
I feel like a bone between two quar
relsome puppies. Hattie is already
. house-hunting, on the sly, and she's
bought Bessie an expensive watch
and a string of gold beads. Jane on
the other hand, insists that Mr. Ful
ton will come back and claim the
iriohey.'So she's running her house
now on the principle that she's lost a
hundred thousand .dollars, and so
riHist economize in every possible
way. You can imagine it I"
't don't have to imagine it, mur
mured the man. Miss Maggie laughed.
"I forgot. Of course you dont.
You do live there, don't you? But that
isn't all. Flora, poor soul, went into
a restaurant the other day and or
dered roast turkey, and now she's wor
rying for fear the money won't come
and justify her extravagance. Melli
cent, with-implicit faith that the hun
dred thousand is coming, wants to
wear her best frocks every day. And,
as u she were not already quite ex
cited enough, young Pennock has
very obviously begun to, sit up and
take notice." . . .
"You don't mean he is trying to
come back so soon I" disbelieved Mr.
Smith.
"Well, he's evidently caught the
glitter of the gold from afar," smiled
Miss Maggie. HAt all events, he s tak
ing notice."
"And Miss Mellicent?" There was
a note of anxiety in Mr. Smith's voice.
"Doesn't see him, apparently. But
CIVIC LEADERS
FORM COMMITTEE
OF VIGILANTES
Ten Business Organizations
' Meet to Plan. Ways and '
' Means to Thwart Auto
Bandits.
The way of the automobile thief
in Omaha is to be made very hard.
First steps to form an organization
to apprehend and prosecute this gen
try in Omaha was formed at a meet
ing at the Chamber of Commerce at
which a committee to be known as
the Commttee on Public Safety was
formed.
The members have not yet been
appointed but it will consist pf about
50 men drawn from the following or
ganizations: Omaha Chamber of Com
merce, Automobile club, Associat
ed Retailers, Rotary club, Automobile
Dealers' association, Business Men's
association. Manufacturers' associa
tion, Live Stock exchange, Grain ex
change and Real Estate board.
This commitee will co-operate with
the police, county attorney and other
established agencies for enforcement
pf law. It will recommend means of
stopping the traffic in automobiles
and devise and work for the passage
of more drastic laws for the punish
ment of autombile thieves. A penalty
of 20 years has been suggested to be
written into the state laws for auto
mobile stealing. It has also been sug
gested that an abstract be required
in the sale of every second-hand
automobile.
Quiet operations have been going
on for two weeks in dealing with
automobile thieves and some of Om
aha's leading lawyers have been ap
pearing in police court to push cases
against thieves. In the past these
thieves have regarded arrest as rather
a joke but the effect of vigorous
prosecution has already been seen

does see a little."
"The young rascal 1 But she doesn't
-care?''
"I think not really. She's just ex
cited now, as any young girl would
be: and I'm afraid she's taking a lit
tle wicked pleasure in not seeing
him."
"Humph! I can imagine it," chuck
led Mr. Smith
"But it's all bad this delay,"
chafed Miss Maggie again. "Don't you

o.ther. That's why I do wish that law

"I reckon he'll be here before long,'
murmured Mr. Smith, with an elabor
ately casual air. But I wish you
were coming in on the deal." His
kindly eyes were gazing straight into
her face now.
She shook her head.
"I'm a Duff, not a Blaisdell except
when they want " She bit her lip.
A confused red suffused her face. "I
mean, I'm. not a Blaisdell at all," she
finished hastily.
"Humph! That's exactly it!" Mr.
Smith was sitting energetically erect,
"You're not a Blaisdell except when
they want something of your
"Oh, please, I didn't mean to say
I didn t say that, cried Miss Mag
gie, in very genuine disrtess.
"No, I know you didn't, but I did,"
flared the man. Miss Maggie, its a
downright shame the way they im
pose on you sometimes."
"Nonsense! I like to have them I
mean, I like to do what I can for
them," she corrected hastily, laughing
in spite of herself.
"You like to get all tired out, I sup
pose."
"I get rested afterward."
"And it doesn't matter, anyway, of
course, he gibed.
"Not a bit," she smiled.
"Yes, I suspected that." Mr. Smith
was still sitting erect, still speaking
with grim terseness. "But let me tell
you right here and now that I don't
approve of that doctrine of yours."
"'Doctrine'?"
"That 'It-doesn't-matter doctrine of
yours. I tell you it's very pernicious
very! I don't approve of it at all."
There was a moment's silence.
"No?" Miss Maggie said then, de
murely. "Oh, well it doesn't matter
if you don't."
He caught the twinkle in her eyes
and threw u,p his hands despairingly.
"You are incorrigible 1"
With a sudden businesslike air of
determination Miss Maggie faced
him.
"Just what is the matter with that
doctrine, please, and what do you
mean?" she smiled.
"I mean that things do matter and
that we merely shut our eyes to the
real facts in the case when we say
that they don't War, death, sin, evil
the world is full of them, and they
do matter."
"They do matter, indeed." Miss
Maggie was speaking very gravely
now. "They matter woefully. I
never say 'It doesn't matter1 to war,
or death, or sin, or evil. But there are
other things "
"But the other things matter, too,"
interrupted the man irritably. "Right
here and now it matters that you
don't share in the money; it matters
that you slave half your time for a
father who doesn't anywhere near ap
preciate you; it matters that you slave
the rest of your time for every Tom
and Dick and Harry and Jane and
Mehitable in Hillerton that has run a
sliver under a thumb, either literally
or metaphorically. It matters that"
But Miss Maggie was laughing mer
rily. "Oh, Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith, you
don't know what you are saying 1"
"I do. too. It's you who don't know
what you are sayingl"
"But, pray, what youia you nave me
say?" she smiled.
"I'd have you say it does matter,
and I'd have you insist on having your
rights, every time." j

"Ashamed! Well, you. needn't be.
Mr. Smith, on his feet, was trying to
work' off his agitation by tramping
up and down the small room.
'"But 1 am ashamed," moaned Miss
Maggie, her face still averted. And i
can't think why I should have been so
so wild. It was just something that
vnu said about mv rights. I think.
You see all my life I've just had to
learn to say 'It doesn't matter,' when
there were so many things that I
wanted to do anu couldn't. And
don't you see? I found out, after a
while, that it didn't really matter half
so much college and my own little

"But, good heavens, how could you
keep from tearing round ana tnrow

"I couldn't all the time. I I
smashed a bowl once, and two cups."
She' lauehed shamefacedly, and met
his eves now. "But I soon found
that it didn't make me or anybody
else any happier, and that it didn't
help things at all. So I tried to do
the other way. And now, please,
please say you'll forget all this what
I've been saying. Indeed, Mr. Smith,
I am very much ashamed 1
"Forget it!" Mr. Smith turned on
his heel and marched up and down
the room again. "Confound that
man!"
"What man?"
"Mr. Stanley G. Fulton, if you must
know, for not giving you any ot tnat
money." ,
"Money, money, money 1" Miss
Maggie threw out both her hands
with gesture of repulsion. "If I've
heard that word once I've heard it a
hundred times in the last week. Some
times I wish I might never hear it
again."
"You don't want to be deaf, do
you? Well, you'd have to be to escape
hearing that word."
"I suppose so. But" again she
threw out her hands.
"You don't mean " Mr. Smith was
regarding her with curious interest.
"Don't you want money, really?"
She hesitated; then she sighed.
"Oh, yes, of course. We all want
money. We have to have money, too;
but I don't think it's everything in
the world, by any means."
. "You don't think it brings happi
ness, then?"
Sometimes. Sometimes not.
"Most of er us would be willing
to take the risk."
"Most of us would.
"Now. in the case of the Blaisdells
here don't you think this money is
going to bring- happiness to them?"
There was no answer. Miss Maggie
seemed to think.
Miss Maeeie. exclaimed Mr.
Smith, with a concern all out of pro
portion to his supposed interest in
the matter, "you don't mean to say
you don't think this money is going
to bring them happiness?"
Miss Maggie laughed a little.
"Oh. nol This money'll bring them
happiness all right, of course partic
ularly to some of them. But I was
just wondering; if you don't know
how to spend five dollars so as to get
the most out of it. how will you
spend 500, or 5,000 and get the most
out of that?"
"What do you mean?"
But Miss Maggie shook her head.
"Nothing. I was just thinking,"
she said.

Omahan's First Experience on
Platform in National Cap
ital Recounted as
Moral Gem.
Omaha men have a habit of com
ing prominently before the public in
many sections of the country. They
can't help it it's a habit.
For instance, Isidor Zeigler, recent
candidate for lieutenant govenor of
Nebraska and an Omahan, recently
"busted" into print in one of the big
papers of the nation's capital, the
Washington Herald. The following
is the story that paper printed on
Mr. Zeigler:
"The name Isidor Zeigles doesn't
mean anything perhaps to many
readers of this column. For their
information, however, we will state
that it belongs to a man and not a

"Isidor Zeigler was a Harvard col
lege student once, and toward the close
of his student career became obsessed
with the notion that he could tell his
fellow-countrymen many things from
the platform. He was sure of it. He
admitted it to McKinley committee
men and they sent him to remote por
tions of the Windy City to begin ex
pounding the doctrine of sound money
and a safe tariff.

looking for. He knew if he got that

"Finally he reached a r'nt where
he said in tones that were meant to
thrill his audeince: "And the great
American eagle, soaring onward and
upward from is aerie" when he
was interrupted by a voice which
said:
'"Tell us what's wrong with 16 to 1
if anything.'
"'I'll reach that in a moment,' he
said, somewhat flustered, but- not
at all dismayed.
"And he led off manfully again
with: 'And the great American eagle
soaring onward and upward from its
aerie ' when a vVice from another
part of the hall shouted:
"'Take up that money question.'
There was impatience in this voice,
as if its owner thought the end of the
speech might follow the eagle's jour
ney into space.
"'I'll come to that directly,' said
Zeigler. 'I have" still several points
to cover and I'll reach them all in

"And then with renewed energy,
typical of the orator who is not yet
convinced that his crowd is heckling
him, the young Harvard man made
ready to start his third journey with
the eagle. He was just assuming the
attitude of the flying bird, and begin
ning to tilt his head toward the sky,
when a voice from still a different
part of the hall cried out good na
turedly and yet rather too command
ingly to' be disregarded:
" 'Aw let that one go and send up
another.'
"The crowd roared at that and
promptly lost all of that intentness
which is so necessary if the orator is
to make the desired impression with
his audience. Isidor finished his
speech without further interruption
either in the way of questions or ap
plause, but he years afterward, in
speaking of the occurence, said:

Two Persons Slightly

In an automobile crash at the in

streets at 6 p. m., Sunday, Mrs. J.
Hykin, 2701 Howard street, suffered
a badly lacerated finger and a few
minor bruises, and C. Mozer, 432
South Eleventh street, Lincoln, suf
fered an abrasion of the forehead.
The Mozer car was goiirg west on
Thirtieth street, and the Hykin car
north on Dodge street. Both cars
were moving at a normal rate of
speed, the operators claim, but seeing
that a collision was imminent they
became "rattled." The force of the
collision carried the Mozer car half
way across the street and jammed it
against a fireplug.
Hykin and his son, Harry, who was
operating the auto, escaped injury.
No arrests were made.
