"We are with,the teamsters so far as that is concerned now, especially . with teamsters affiliated with the ' packing houses, and are: backing them in every moral way possible. "We have made an agreement, however, that we will not call a strike during the period of the year , after the signing, of the peace treaty. This union which I represent has obtained all rights now demanded by t,he teamsters." , - Proposed Celebration on South Side Is Called Off The "big doins" on July 4 for South Omaha is off.

Vl: THE v ' WOMAN IN BLACK By EDMUND CLEltlHEW BENTLEY Coprlght, 1911, by the Century company. CHAPTER III ) ! t : Introducing Nathanial Burton v ; Cupples ' At about 8 o'clock in the morn ing of the following day Mr. Na thaniel Burton Cupples. stood on the veranda of the hotel at Marlstone. He was thinking about breakfast.. In his case the colloquialism must be taken literally; he really was think ing aboat breakfast, as he thought about every conscious act of his life when time allowed deliberation. He reflected that on the preceding day the excitement and activity follow ing upon the discovery of the corpse had- disorganized nis appetite aim led to his taking considerably less nourishment than usual. This morn ing he was very hungy,; having al ready been up. and about for an hour; and he decided to anow nim self a third piece of toast and an additional egg; the . rest as usual. The remaining deficit must be made up at luncheon; but that could be gone, into later. So much being determined, Mr. Cupples applied himself to the en joyment of the view for a few min utes before ordering his meal. With a connoisseur's eye 4ie" explored the beauty of the rugged coast, where a great pierced rock rose - from a glassy sea, and the ordered love liness of the vast tilted levels of pasture and tillage and woodland that sloped- gently up from the cliffs toward the distant moor. Mr. Cupples delighted in landscape. He was a man of middle height and spare figure nearly 60 years old, by constitution rather delicate in health, but wiry and active for his age. A sparse and straggling beard and mustache did not cohceal a thin, but kindly mouth; his eyes were keen and pleasant; his sharp nose and narrow jaw gave him very much the air of a priest, and this impression was helped by his com monplace dark clothes and soft black hat. He was a man of un usually conscientious, industrious and orderly mind, with little imag ination. His father's household had been used to recruit its do mestic establishment by means of advertisements in which it was truthfully described as a serious family. From that 'fortress of gloom he had escaped with two saintly gifts somehow unspoiled: an inex haustible kindness of heart and a capacity for innocent gaiety which owed nothing to humor. In an earlier day and with a clerical train-1 ing he might have risen to the scar let hat He-was, in fact, a highly regarded . member of thes London Positiyist society, a retired banker, a widower without 'children,- His austere but not unhappy life was spent largely among books and in nfuseums; his profound and patient ly accumulated knowledge of a num ber of curiously disconnected sub jects which had stirred his interest at different times had given him a place x in the quiet, half-lit world of professors and curators and devo tees of research; all their amiable, unconvivial dinner parties he ,was most himself. . .His favorite author was Montaigne. Just as Mr. Cupples was finishing his meal at a little table on the ver anda, a big motor car turned into the drive before the hotel. "Who is this?"Jie inquired of the waiter. "Id is der manager," said the young man listlessly. "He have been to meed a gendleman by der train." The car drew up and the porter hurried from the entrance. Mr. Cupples uttered an, exclamation of pleasure as a long, loosely-built man, much younger than himself, stepped from the car and mountedythe ver anda, flinging his hat on a chair. His high-boned Quixotic- face wore a pleasant smile, his .rough tweed clothes, his hair and short mus tache were tolerably untidy. "Cupples by all that's miracu lous" cried the man, pouncing upon Mr. Cupples before he could rise, and seizing his outstretched hand iiivhard grip. "My luck is serv ing me today," the newcomer went on spasmodically. "This is the sec ond slice within an hour. How are you,my best of friends? And way are you here? Why sit'st thou by that ruined breakfast? Dost thou its former pride, jecall, or ponder how it passed away? I am glad to see youl" "I was half expecting you, Trent," Mr. Cupples replied, his face wreath ed in smiles. "You are looking splendid, my dear fellow. I will tell you all about it. But you cannot AMESEMENT3 TWO SHOWS IN ONE FIRESIDE REVERIE , Elaborate Girl Act. Three RoUBdari. Comedy end Harmony Sing. Ing; Toureitl: Cherryand Stanley. Viola Dana la "Some Bride."

"An enormous great breakfast too with refined conversation and tears , of recognition, never dry. WW you get young Siegfried to lay a place for ne while I Co and wash ? I shan't be three -minutes." He disappeared! into the hotel, and Mr. Cupples, after'a moment's thought, went to the telephone in the porter's office. He turned to find his friend al ready seated, pouring out tea, and showing an unaffected interest in the choice of food. "I. expect this to be a hard day for me' he .said, With the curious jefky utterance which seemed to be his habit. "I sha'n't eat agairrtill the evening, very likely. You guess why I'm here, don't you?" "Undoubtedly," said Mr. Cupples. "You have come down to write about the murder." "That is rather a colorless way of stating it," Trent replied, as he dissected a sole. "I should prefer to put it that I have come down in the . character of avenger of blood to hunt down the guilty andn J ' . . 1 I r . rr.. . I vindicate tne nonor ot soxiety. 1 nat is my line of business. Families waited on at their.private residences. I say, Cupples. I have made a good beginning already. Wait a bit, and I'll tell you." There was a silence, during which the newcomer ate swiftly and abstractedly,' while Mr. Cupples looked on" happily, (Continued Tomorrow) , More Omahans Arrive In : ' New York From Overseas New York, June 23,r-(Special.)
