V V ( ( Separate Pact Affecting China Hope of Leaders Appropriate Agreement by All ; Power at Conference on Far Eastern Question Mentioned by Hughes. By PHILIP KINSLEY. (titrate Trthuae-Oinaha Bt lr4 Wlr, Washington, Dec. 1 1.- China's great day it stilt to come, still a subject of hope and discussion. An agreement directly affecting China, to be signed by all the pow ers interested In the Pacific and far eut, is the new hope of the con ference leaders, as expressed by Secretary Hughes at the plenary session. While pointing to "s.irfcfactory progress" in the solution of Chinese jrobletns and referring to three res olutions adopted by the full confer ence today as "China's charter of protection" against acts affecting its territorial integrity and binding the powers to be careful to observe the principles of the open-door, Mr. Hughes said: "The discussion of the Chinese (lucstion vj still in progress. It is hoped that these resolutions adopted, the other matters to be brought before you, tnay lead to an appro priate agreement of all the powers represented here and others that ti.ay care to join, dealing generally with far eastern questions and the Chinese question, also with the ter ritorial status of the countries con cerned. It is my. hope, at least, that something of that sort will re sult from the deliberations. Hope of Chinese. This is also China's hops, as ex pressed by the Chinese minister, Dr. Sze, at the conclusion of the con fcrence action today on the four power agreement. "I rise just to add a few words to express our great satisfaction at the work the conference has already ac complished." said Mr. Sie. "The Chinese delegation notes with gratifi cation, the intention of the powers agreeing to the draft treaty report ed this morning to preserve genuine peace and to adjust by peaceful means all matters of controversy that may arise between them with reference to their rights in relation to their in sular posessions and insular domin ions in the region of the Pacific. "The" Chinese' delegation antici pates, as indicated by our distin guished chairman, that this agree ment wilt be- supplemented by a further convention to which all the powers, including China, will be par ties, which will adjust conditions in the far east upon a basis satisfactory to all the powers, and which it is hoped will provide for the amicable settlement of any future contro versies. The Chinese delegation, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, has been greatly impressed by the friendliness by which the discussion in the con ference of the proposals by us, as on other matters, has been carried on and it is convinced that a satis factory solution can be found for the remaining questions which represent Chinese sovereignty and her aspira tions. . "China upon her part will do what she can to bring this about, and will at all times give her - wholehearted help in the maintenance of the most friendly relations between herself and the other powers and thus add to the effort for the preservation of peace in the Pacific and the far east. One point in Senator Lodge's speech on the treaty' is being close ly scanned by the Chinese. It is where he said: "It should also be observed that the controversies to which the pro posed treaty refers .do not embrace questions which, according to the principles of international law, lie exclusively within ' the domestic jurisdiction of the respective powers."

Slarts. assd Onanists, Emtvnm I By RUBY AYRES. CaUaod from rUfdaj.) The following days were wretched ones for everybody at Cherry Lodge, for, though no open dis agreement took place between Anne and the Fortune Hunter, there was something electrical in the air. The Fortune Hunter had Wsen right in bis judgment of Anne' character when he thought that pride would come to her aid, and the more indifferent he grew towards her, the more cleverly she played her part, laughing and nuk ing conversation, and singing little snatches of song about the house, while her heart was breaking. No mention had been made be tween them again of Geoffry Fos ter, though he still came to the house and brought Anne flowers and sweets openly, Mr, Harding looked on in si lence, and Tommy with a covert grin. In his own twisted mind he thought he knew how the game would cud, and that it would be hut matter of weeks before the Fortune Hunter left the house once and forever. He would not have believed it had he been told that both Anne and the man she loved were breaking their hearts. He was posi tive that Anne had realized that, after all, 10 years of separation had made too great a difference to her affections. "I'm going up to town this morn ing, dear," Mr. Harding said one morning at breakfast time. "Just a little matter of business I shall be back to dinner." "Can't I come with you? she asked swiftly. I haven't been to London for ever so long. Let me come with you. Uncle Clem." But Mr. Harding shook his head. "Not today, my dear some other time; perhaps you and John will walk part of the way to the station with me. If s a lovely morning." "I shall . be delighted," the For tune Hunter said, perfunctorily. He was quite prepared for Anne to re fuse, but, to his amazement, she went at once to get her hat. She looked very fair and sweet, he thought, when she joined them at the gate. She wore a creamy frock of some soft material, cut into'a V-shape at the throat, and a shady hat with a wreath of tiny flowers around the brim. ' But when she looked at him her eyes were cold and hard, and he winced as he turned away; it seemed a lifetime since she had looked at him with love a lifetime since he had held her in his arms. But it was the only way he knew, seeing that he was too great a cow ard to tell her the whole truth, and trust to her love to stand by him and forgive him. For the moment, at all events, he believed it would be easier for them both if she thought he no longer cared for her, than if she knew him to be a liar and a cheat. fco they walked through the vil lage in the fresh morning sunshine and Anne talked to Mr. Harding the whole way; the Fortune Hunter might not have been present for all the notice she took of him. But Mr. Harding stopped before they quite reached the station. "You don't v,ant to come any fur ther. I'm a little late as it is, and I shall have to hurry if I want to catch my train. Why don't you go back round by the river?" "There's 10 minutei before your train goes yet," Anne protested. "I should like to see you safely off, dear." But Mr. Harding would not allow it; he kissed her and hurried away down the road almost guiltily. Anne stood looking after him, a little frown between her eyes. "Shall we go hack by the river?" the Fortune Hunter asked. She looked up at him then, and. for a moment, the coldness relaxed a little' in her eyes. "John didn't it strike you that there was something . . . queer about uncle?" "Queer? What do you mean?" "Only ... I wonder why he is going to London." Her voice sounded troubled, and she kept look ing back over her shoulder in the direction of the station. "Mr. Harding said he was going on business," the Fortune Hunter said impartially. He stopped for a moment to light a cigaret and Anne stopped, too, still looking back along the road with apprehensive eyes. y "It was Fcrnie, uncle was waiting fori I saw him he just joined uncle, and they've gone into the sta tion." The Fortune Hunter followed the directions of her gaze. "Well, what does it matter?" he asked. "They've probably met quite by accident." He dooked down at her, and his face changed a little. "Why, Anae, what is it?" he asked swiftly. Her lips were quivering and there were tears in her eyes; she seemed to have forgotten the constraint be tween them as she looked up into the Fortune Hunter's face. "I had such a dream last night John ... I don't believe in dreams, really, but this one was so real . . . and, oh, I hate him I I hate him!" The Fortune Hunter flushed "Dreams are all rubbish," he said bluntly. He kept his hands rammed into his coat pockets to prevent himself To the TELEPHONE USERS of OMAHA- We take this opportunity to thank our patrons for their splendid co-operation in helping us to make . the change of AT lantic telephones from manual to ma chine switching.

He loved her mote deeply than ever, and she? If she were beginning to care less for him. would the be so distressed because of a foolish dream? "What was the dream?" lie asked lightly. She did not answer at once, then the said in a voice of quirt despair: "I thought I was in a room with you and 1 was crying and trying to get to you, but Fcrnie stood be tween us, and every time every time I tried to go to you he stopped me and then then you were gone, and I knew you would nevei come back any more." The Fortune Hunter felt as il something had caught hint by the throat, but he managed to laugh. . "Dreams go by contraries, don't they? If so, it means that I shall always be with you, even after you're sick of the sight of me after " He broke off, not daring to trust his voice. Her dream had been so like his the dream in which he had sought her unavailingly in a dark wood. That was how it would be for them both some day. They walked on a little way in silence, Ann just a step behind the Fortune Hunter, as if she were tired and her face was flushed with wounded pride. Did he care nothing for her nothing at all that he could make tun even of her love and fear for him? She looked up at him with burn ing eyes, and to her he merely looked grave and indifferent. She could not see the set fold of his eyes, as she broke out passionately: "Sometimes I wonder why you ever came home." The Fortune Hunter made no an swer. "I sunnose I've been the fool all tnese years to oeueve in you, ana and imagine that -when we met again everything you used to prom-.cd to take no independent steps in it. ,'n ,m. 1j.tti.ra untilrt -nmi tmolltlio rpnaration situation, as 1 result PerhaDS Uncle Clem was riant when he used to tell me that, if you evet came back, it would be only because you knew I wanted you, and not because you cared for me any more. I wouldn't listen to him then, or be lieve him, but now ... I would ra ther you had died than have come home like this." He swung around, his face bleak with furious pain. "Perhaps I, too, would rather have died." he said hoarsely.
