SYNOPSIS.
Chapter I.—Introduces tho hero,
Robert Warburton, a well to do West
Point graduate on duty In Arizona,
After being: wounded by an Indian ro
v. signs his commission in the army and
leaves for European tour. Chapter II.
—Introduces the heroine, Miss Betty
Annesley, daughter of a retired army
officer, living near Washington. A
beautiful, representative young Amerl
can girl, whom Warburton has seen In
Paris, Is smitten, and follows to New
York. Seeks introduction on board
•teamer but fails. Chapter III.—Upon
reaching New York Warburton locates
hotel in which the Annesleys are
guests and. dines there in order to see
Miss Annesley once more. Chagrined
to see young Russian count whom ho
met on steamer bring Miss Annesley to
dinner. Next morning the Count and
the Annesleys had disappeared. Chap
ter IV. Warburton goes to Washing
ton to visit his relatives,—a married
brother, who holds a government po
sition, and a sister engaged to an old
school chum of his. Chapter VI.—
Warburton meets his sister's fiance
whom he had not seen for eight years.
Sees the folks off for the embassy ball
and then proceeds to put his joke Into
execution, which is to disguise himself
as a coachman and drive his sister and
sister-in-law, who must return alone,
from the embassy to their home. Chap
ter VI.—Warburton In his disguise
goes to British embassy and takes the
place of his brother's coachman, whom
he has bribed. He mistakes his car
riage number when called and gets the
'wrong passengers without knowing it.
Drives frantically about the streets
pursued by mounted policemen. When
carriage comes to a stop he springs
down and throws his arms about the
first of his passengers to alight, who
proves to be Miss Annesley instead of
Ills sister.
CHAPTER V. (Continued.)
Half a dozen times Warburton was
of a mind to malte a bolt for it, but he
did not dare trust the horse or his
knowledge of the streets: He had al
ready two counts against him, disor
derly conduct and abduction, and he
had no desire to add uselessly, a third,
that of resisting an officer, which
seems the greatest possible crime a
man can commit and escape hanging.
Oh, for a mettlesome nag! There
would be no police-station for him,
then. Police-station! Heavens, what
should he do? His brother, his sister
their dismay, their shame not count
ing that he himself would be laughed
at from one end of the continent to
the other. What an ass he had made
of himselfwondered how much
money il would *~taKe to'ofe&r himself
and at the same moment recollected
that he hadn't a cent in his clothes.
A. sweat of terror moistened his brow.
"What are ye up to, anyway1?" asked
the policeman. "What kind of booze
have ye been samplin'7"
"I've nothing to say."
"Ye speak clear enough. So much
th' worse, if ye ain't drunk. Was ye
craay t' ride like that? Ye might have
killed th' women an' had a bill of man
slaughter brought against ye."
"I have nothing to say it is all a
mistake. I got the wrong number and
the wrong carriage."
"Th' devil ye did. An' wh^re was
ye goin' to' drive th' other carriage at
that thunderin' rate? It won't wash.
His honor'll be stone-deaf when ye tell
him that. You're drunk or have been."
"Not to-night."
"Well, I'd giys toe night off t' know
what ye were'up to. Don't ye know
__notlil!i' about ordinances an' laws?
Warburton started in his saddle. He
had forgotten all about that part of
the episode. His blood warmed sud
denly and his cheeks burned. He had
kissed her, kissed her soundly, too,
the most radiantly beautiful woman in
the world. Why, come to think of it,
it was easily worth a night in jail.
Yes, by George, he had kissed her,
kissed that blooming cheek, and but
for this policeman, would have forgot
ten! Whatever happened to him, she
wouldn't forget in a hurry. He laughed.
The policeman gazed at Jim in pained
surprise.
"Well, ye seem t' take it good and
hearty."
"If you could only see the humor
in it, my friend, you'd laugh, too."
"Oh, I would, hey? All I got t'
say is that yer nerve gits me. An' yo
stand a pretty good show of bein'
rounded up for more'n 30 days, too.
Well, ye've had yer joke mebbe ye
have th' price t' pay th' fiddler. Turn
here."
The rest of the ride was in silence,
Warburton gazing callously ahead and
the officer watching him with a wary
eye to observe any suggestive move
ment. He couldn't make out this chap.
There was something wrong, some
deep-dyed villainy—of this he hadn't
the slightest doubt. It was them high
toned swells that was the craftiest an'
most daring. Handsome is that hand
some does. A quarter of an hour later
they arrived at the third precinct,
where our jehu wa3 registered for the
night under the name of James Os
borne. He was hustL into a small
cell and left to himsel
He had kissed her! lory of glories!
He had" pressed her to his very heart,
besides. After all, tl ey couldn't do
anything serious to himl They could not

MAN ON THE BOX
By HAROLD MacGRATH
Author of "The Grey Cloak," "The Puppet Crown."
I 9 ft.

1504,
**#HI r»qgft» ***,
The Bobbs-Merrlll Compiny,
dered what she was thinking of at thlB
moment, and fell asleep. It was a sign
of a good constitution and a decently
white conscience. And thus they found
him in the morning. They touched his
arm, and he awoke with a smile, the
truest indication of a man's amiability.
At first he was puzzled as he looked
blinkingly from his jailers to his sur
roundings and then back at his Jail
ers. Then it all returned to him, and
he laughed. Now the law, as repre
sented and upheld by petty officers, pos
sesses a dignity that 1b instantly ruf
fled by the sound of laughter from a
prisoner and Mr. Robert was roughly
tofld to shut up, and that he'd soon
laugh on the other side of hta mouth.
"All right officers, all right only
make allowances for a man who sees
the funny side of things." Warburton
stood up and shook himself, and picked
up his white hat. They eyed him in
telligently. In the morning light the
young fellow didn't appear to be such
a rascal. It was plainly evident that
he had not been drunk the preceding
night for his eves were not shot with
red veins nor did his lips lack their
usual healthy moisture. The officer who
had taken him in charge, being a
shrewd and trained observer, noted the
white hands, soft and well-kept. He
shook his head.
"Look here, me lad, you're no groom,
not by several years. Now, what th'
devil wis ye up to, anyway?"
"I'm not saying a word, sir," smiled
Warburton. "All I want to know is,
am I to have any breakfast? I shouldn't
mind some peaches and cream or
grapes to start with, and a small steak
and coffee."
"Ye wouldn't mind, hey?" mimicked
the officer. "What d'ye think this
place is, th' Metropolitan club? Ye'll
have yer bacon an' coffee, an' be glad
t* git it. They'll feed ye In the mess
room. Come along."
Warburton took his time over the
coffee and bacon. Hr wanted to think
out a reasonable defense without un
masking himself. He was thinking
how he could get word to me, too,
The "duffer" might prove a friend in
need.
"Now where?" asked Warburton,
wiping his mouth.
"T' th' court. It'll go hard with ye
if ye're handed over t' th' grand jury
on th' charge of abduction. Ye'd bet
ter make a clean breast of it. I'll speak
a word for yer behavior."
"Aren't you a little curious?"
"It's a part of me business,"—gruffly.
"I'll have my say to the judge," said
Warburtoti.
"That's yer own affair. Come."
Once outside, Warburton lost color
and large part of his nonchalance
for an^ open patrol stood at the curb.
"HavV I got to ride in that?"—dis
gustedly.
"As true as life an if ye make any
disturbance, so much th' worse."
Warburton climbed in, his face red
with shame and anger. He tied his
handkerchief around his chin and
tilted his hat far down over his eyes.
"Fraid of meetin' some of yer swell
friends, hey? Ten t' one, yer a swell an'
was runnin' away with th' wrong
woman. Mind. I have an eye on ye."
The patrol rumbled over the asphalt
on the way down-town. Warburton
buried his face in his hands. Several
times they passed a cigar-store, and
his mouth watered for a good cigar,
the taste of a clear Havana.
He entered the police-court, not lack
ing in curiosity. It was his first ex
perience with this arm of the civil
law. He wasn't sure that he liked it.
It wasn't an inviting place with its
bare benches and its motley, tawdry
throng. He was plumped into a seat
between some ladies of irregular
habits, and the stale odor of intoxi
cants, mingling with cheap perfumery,
took away the edge of his curiosity.
"Hello, pretty boy jag?" asked one
of these faded beauties, in an under
tone. She nudged him with her elbow.
"No sweetheart," he replied, smil
ing in spite of himself.
"Ah gowan! Been pinching some
one's wad?"
"Nope!"
"What are you here for, then?"
"Having a good time without any
body's consent. If you will listen, you
will soon hear all about it."
"Silence there, on the bench!"
bawled the clerk, whacking the desk.
"Say, Marie," whispered the woman
to her nearest neighbor. "Here's a boy
been selling his master's harness and
got pinched."
"But look at the sweet things coming
in, will you! Ain't they.swell, though?"
whispered Marie, nodding a skinny,
feather toward the door.
Warburton glanced indifferently in
the direction indicated, and received
a shock. Two women—and both wore
very heavy black veils. The smaller
of the two inclined her body, and he
was sure that her scrutiny was for
him. He saw her say something irto
the ear of the companion, and repeat
it to one of the court lawyers. The law
yer approached the desk, and in his
turn whispered a few words into the
judge's ear. The magistrate nodded.
Warburton was conscious of a blush of
shame. This was a nice position for
any respectable woman to see him In!
"James Osborne!" called fcha dark.

An officer beckoned to Jamos, and
he made hlB •ay to the prisoner's box.
HIb honor looked him over coldly,
"Name?"
"James Osborne."
"Born heret"
"No."
"Say 'sir*."
"No, sir."
"Whore were yon born?"
"In New York State."
"How old are you? And don't for
get to say 'air' when you reply to my
questions."
'T am 28. ai."
"Married?"
"No, sir."
"How long have you been engaged as
a groom?"
"Not very long, sir." j.*,
"How long?"
"Less than 24 hours, sir."
Surprise rippled fiver the faces of the
audience on the benches.
"Humph! You are charged with dis
orderly conduct, reckless driving, and
attempted abduction. The last charge
has been withdrawn, fortunately for
you, sir. Have you ever been np be
fore?"
"Up, sir?"
"A prisoner In a police-court."
"No, sir."
"Twenty-five for reckless driving
and ten for disorderly conduct or 30
days."
"Your Honor, the horses ran away."
"Yes, urged by your whip."
"I was not disorderly, sir."
"The officer declares that you had
been drinking."
"Your Honor, I got the wrong car
riage. My number was 17 and I an
swered to 71." He wondered if she
would believe this statement.
"I suppose that fully explains why
you made a raxe-track of one of our
main thoroughfares?"—sarcastically.
"You were on the wrong carriage to
begin with."
"All I can say, sir, is that It was
a mistake."
"The mistake came in when you left
your carriage to get a drink. You broke
the law right then. Well, if a man
makes mistakes, ho must pay for them,
here or elsewhere. This mistake will
cost you $35.
"I haven't a penny in my clothes,
sir."
"Officer, lock him up, and keep him
locked up till the fine is paid. I can
not see my way to remit It. Not
another word,"—as Warburton started
to protest.
"Marie Johnson, Mabel Tyner,
Belle Lisle!" cried the clerk.

and paper. At half after ten that
morning the following note reached
me:
"Dear Chuck Am in a devil of a
scrape at the police court. Tried to
play a joke on the girls last night by
dressing up in the groom's clothes.
Got the wrong outfit, and was arrest ad.
Bring $35 and a suit of clothes the
quickest ever. And, for mercy's sake,
say nothing to any one, least of all
the folks. I have given the name of
James Osborne. Now, hustle. Bob."
I hustled.
CHAPTER VIII.
ANOTHER SALAD IDEA.
When they found him missing, his
bed untouched, his hat and coat on the
rack, his Inseparable walking-stick in
the umbrella-stand, they were mightily
worried. They questioned Jane, but
she knew nothing. Jack went out to
the stables no news there. William,
having driven the girls home himself,
dared say nothing. Then .Tack wisely
telephoned for me, and I hurried over
to the house.
"Maybe he hunted up some friends
last night," I suggested.
"But here's his hat!" cried Nancy.
"Oh, he's all right don't worry. I'll
take a tour around the city. I'll find
him. He may be at one of the clubs."
Fortunately for Mr. James Osborne I
returned home first, and there found
his note awaiting me. I was at the
court by noon, armed with $35 and a
suit of clothes of my own. I found the
clerk.
"A young man, dressed as a groom,
and locked up overnight," I said cau
tiously. "I wish to pay his fine."
"James Osborne?"
"Yes, that's the name James Os
borne,"—reaching down into my pock
et.
"Fine's just been paid. We were
about to release him. Here, officer,
show this gentleman to .Tames Os
borne's cell, and tell him to pack up
and get out."
So his fine was paid! Found the
money in his clothes, doubtless. On
the way to the cells I wondered what

TITR OTTUMWA. OfnJKIBEf
the deuce the rascal "had been doing to
get looked up overnight I was vastly
angry, but at the sight of him all my
anger melted Into a prolonged shout of
laughter.
"That's right laugh, you old pirate!
I wish you had been in my boots a
few hours ago. Lord!"
I laughed again.
"Have you got that $85?" he asked.
"Why, your fine has been paid," I
replied, rather surprised.
"And didn't you pay it?"
"Not I! The clerk told me that It
had just been paid."
Warburton's jaw sank limply. "Just
been paid?— Who the deuce cot Id
have paid It, or known?"
"First, tell me what you've been up
to."
He told me snatches of the exploit as
he changed his clothes, and it was a
question which of us laughod the more
But he didn't say a word about the
stolen kiss, for which I think none the
less of him.
"Who were the women?" I asked.
He looked at me for a space, as If
deciding. Finally he made a negative
sign.
"Don't know who they were, eh?"—
Incredulously.
He shrugged, laughed, and drew on
his shoes.
"I always knew that I was the jack
ass of the family, Chuck, but I never
expected to do it so well. Let's get out
of this hole. I wonder who can have
paid that fine? No, that would
not be possible!"
"What would not be?"
"Nothing, nothing,"—lauyhlng.
But I could see that his spirits had
gone up several degrees.
"The. whole thing is likely to be
in the eveninsr papers," I said. He
needed a littl worrying. And I knew
his horror of publicity.
"The newspapers? In the newspa
pers? Oh, I say, Chuck, can't you use
yotir influence to suppress the thing?
Think of the girls."
"I'll do the best I can. And there's
only one thing for you to do, and that
is to cut out of town till your beard
has grown. It would serve you right,
however, if the reporters got the true
facts."
"I'm for getting out of town, Chuck
and on the next train but one."
Here our conversation was inter
rupted by the entrance of a policeman.
"A note for Mister Osborne,"—ironi
cally. He tossed the letter to War
burton and withdrew.
Mister Osborne eagerly tore open an
end of the envelope—a very aristocrat
ic envelope, as I could readily discern
—and extracted the letter. I closely
watched his facial expressions. First,
there was interest, then surprise, to be
succeeded by amusement and a certain
exultation. He slapped his thigh.
"By George, Chuck, I'll do it!"
"Do it? Now what?"
"Listen to this." He cleared his
throat, sniffed of the faintly scented
paper and cleared his throat again.
He looked up at me drolly.
"Well?" said I, impatiently. I was
as eager to hear it as he had been to
read it. I believed that the mystery
was about to be solved.
'James Osborne, Sir: I have been
thinking the matter over seriously, and
have come to the conclusion that there
may have been a mistake. Undoubt
edly my groom was primarily to blame.
I have discharged him for neglecting
his post of duty. I distinctly recall the
manner in which you handled the
horses last night. It may be possible
thatvtliey ran away with you. How
ever that may be, I find myself In need
of a groot*. Your horsemanship saved
us from a serious accident. If you will
promise to let whisky tilone, besides
bringing me a recommendation, and
are without engagement, call at the en
closed address this afternoon at three
o'clock. I should be willing to pay as
much as $40 a month. You would be
expected to accompany me on my
morning rides.'
"She must have paid the fine," said
I. "Well, it beats anything I ever heard
of. Had you arrested, and now wants
to employ you! What name did you
say?" I asked carelessly.
"I didn't say any name, Chuck,"—
smiling. "And I'm not going to give
any, you old duffer."
"And why not?"
"For the one and simple reason that
I am going to accept the position,"—
with a coolness that staggered me.
"What?" I bawled.
"Sure as life, as the policeman said
last night."
"You silly ass, you! Do you want to
make the family a laughing-stock all
over the town?" I was really angry.
"Neither the family nor the town
will know anything about it,"—imper
turbably.
"But you will be recognized!" I re
monstrated. "It's a clear case of in
sanity, after what has just happened
to you."
"I promise not to drink any whisky,"^
soberly.
"Bob, you are fooling me."
"Not the littlest bit, Chuck. I've
worn a beard for two .years. No one
would recognize me. Besides, being a
groom, no one would pay any particular
attention to me. Get the "dint?"

JULY WILL BE COOL
PROF. FOSTER DOBS NOT LOOK
FOR ANY WARM WEATHER
DURING THIS MONTH
Burlington In the Line of the July
Drouth Center—Just Like Burling
ton to be In Everything—Magnetism
Is the Thing, Says the Professor.
Some unusually cool weather, no
very hot weather and quite a little
more drouth than rain Is what Prof.
Foster forecasts for the coming days
of July. The hottest weather will be
around July 22. According to the pro
fessor, magnetism is hot stuff, In fact
its just about the whole business In
this world. Heat, considered the basic
principle of all the sciences related to
physical forces, is merely one little
form of the manifestation of magne
tism. Magnetism is it, and the sooner
scientists in general recognize this fact
the better for them.
In detail Prof. Foster has the follow
ing to nay in his latest bulletin:
"Washington, D. C., July 7—Last bul
letin gave forecasts of disturbances
to cross continent 3 to 7, warm wave 2
to C, cool wave 5 to 9. Next disturb
ances will reach Pacific coast about 9,
cross west of Rockies country by close
of 10, great central valleys 11 to 13,
eastern states 14. Warm wave will
cross west of Rockies about 9, great
central valleys 11, eastern states, 13.
Cool wave will cross west of Rookies
about 12, great central valleys 14, east
ern states 16.
"This disturbance will follow a great
fall in temperature and Its warm wave
will not cause very hot weather while
just before and after the storm center
passes unusually cool weather will pre
vail. Highest temperatures of the year
are usually due tbout the time this
storm center should be in the great
central valleys, but I am expecting cool
weather instead. My last bulletin
stated that the hot waves of July would
come not far from 4 and 22.
"Some rains may be expected to ac
company this disturbance from 9 to 14
but I am not expecting much rain with
in the July drouth sections heretofore
described, more definitely bounded by
a line beginning at Houston, Texas,
then by way of Dodge City, St. Joseph,
Burlington, Chicago, Cincinnati, At
lanta, Charleston, Jacksonville, Key
West, Pensacola and back to Houston.
Within that circle I expect crops to be
damaged by the July drouth while out
side of it rainfall will be from about to
above normal.
"Wind disturbances of July will rea«h
Pacific coast about 14, cross west of
Rockies country by close of 15, great
central valleys 16 to 18, eastern states
19. Warm wave will cross west of
Rockies about 14, great central valleys
16, eastern states 18. Cool wave will
cross west of Rockies country about 17,
great central valleys 19, eastern states
21.
"The important feature of this dis
turbance will be the recovery from the
unusually cool weather, an approach
toward the hottest and dryest weather
of the month and the alarming drouth
conditions within the drouth sections
above described. Hotter and dryer will
be the rule from 14 to 22. The most
severe storms within the dates of
these two disturbances may be expect
ed 9 to 12.
Science Notes.
Magnetism is the immediate cause of
weather changes and the changing rel
ative positions of the sun, earth, moon
and major planets cause the changes in
the earth's magnetism. Heat is now
made the basis of all the sciences that
are related to the physical forces. This
jnust be changed and magnetism rec
ognized as the cause then, not before,
will these sciences make rapid prog
ress. Magnetism must also be recog
nized as a base in plant life and there
fore in agriculture."

The feeling of impending doom In the
minds of many victims of Bright's diS'

thankfulness by the benefit derived
from taking Foley's Kidney Cure. It
will cure incipient Bright's disease and
diabetes and even in the worst case#
gives comfort and relief. Slight dis
orders are cured in a few days. "I had
