On the other hand I * represent Gov Osborne, and if I want the Apploweight papers I had every right to them." "After office hours, feloniously and 1 with criminal Intent?" laughed Gris wold "We will assume that I have them, ' sneered Bos worth, "and such being the case I will return them only to the governor." "Then " — and Griswold's smile broadened —"if it comes to conces sions, I will grant that you are with in your rights in wishing to place them in the* governor's own hands. The governor of South Carolina is now. so to speak, in camera." 'The governor is hiding. He's afraid to come to Columbia, and the whole state knows it." "The papers, my friend; and I w-lll j satisfy you that the governor of South Carolina is under this roof and trans- ! acting business." "Here in the statehouse?” demand- ; «*d Bosworth, and he blanched and twisted the buttons of his coat nerv ously i "The governor of South Carolina, the supreme power of the state. . charged with full responsibility, en joying all the immunities, rights and privileges unto him belonging " It was c?ear that Bosworth took no stock whatever in Griswold's story, but Griswold's pretended employment by the governor and hls apparent knowledge of the governor's affairs, piqued his curiosity He stepped to an inner office, came back with a packet of papers and thrust a revol ver into hls pocket with so vain a show of It that Griswold laughed aloud. "What! Do you still back your ar guments with firearms down here? It's a method that has gone out of fashion in Virginia!" "If there's a trick in this It will be the worse for you.” scowled Bos worth "And pray, remember on your side, that you are to give these documents Into the hands of the governor. Come along ” They met the watchman in the cor ridor and he saluted them and passed on. Bosworth strode eagerly forward In his anxiety to prick the bubble of Griswold's pretensions Griswold threw open the door of the governor's reception-room, and they blinked in the stronger light that poured in from the private office. There, in the governor's chair by the broad official desk, sat Barbara Os borne reading a newspaper. “Your excellency,” said Griswold, bowing gravely and advancing; "I beg to present the attorney-general!" “Barbara!” The papers fell from the attorney general s hands. He stood staring un til astonishment began to yield to rage as he realized that a trap had been sprung upon him. The girl had risen Instantly and a smile played about her lips for a moment. She bad vaguely surmised that Griswold would charge Bosworth with the loss of the papers, but her associate in the conspiracy had now given a turn to the matter that amused her. "Barbara!” blurted the attorney general, "what game is this —what contemptible trick is this stranger playing on you? Don't you understand that your father’s absence is a most serious matter and that in the pres ent condition of this Appleweight af fair it Is likely to involve him and the state In scandal?" Barbara regarded him steadily for a moment with a negative sort of gaze. She took a step forward before she spoke and then she asked quickly and sharply; "What Lave you done, Mr. Bos worth, to avert these calamities, and what was in your mind when you pried open the drawer and took out those papers?" "I was going to use the requisi tion —” | “How?" “Why, I expected—" “Mr. Bosworth expected to effect a coup for his own glory during the governor’s absence," suggested Gris wold. “How?" and Barbara’s voice rang Imperiously and her eyes flashed "Send this unknown person, this impostor and meddler, away and 1 will talk to you as old friends may talk together,” and he gla r ed fiercely at Griswold, who stood fanning him self with his hat. "I asked you how you intended to 1 serve my father, Mr. Bosworth. be- I cause you sent me this afternoon a j letter in which you threatened me — ! you threatened me with my father's , ruin if I did not marry you You would take advantage of my trouble and anxiety to force that question on me when I had answered it once and for all long ago Before this stranger I want to tell you that you are a de spicable coward and that if you think you can humiliate me or my father or the state by such practices as you have resorted to you are very greatly mistaken And further. Mr Bosworth. If I find you interfering again in this matter I shall print that letter you wrote me to-day in every paper in the state! Now, that is all I have to say to you. and I hope never to see you again." "Before you go. Mr Bosworth,” said Griswold, I wish to say that Miss Os borne has spoken of your conduct with altogether too much restraint. I shall add, on my own account, that if I find you meddling again in this Appleweight case. I shall first procure your removal from office and after that I shall take the greatest pleas ure in flogging you within an inch of your life. Now go!" CHAPTER VIII. The Labors of Mr. Ardmore. While he waited for Miss Jerry Dangerfleld to appear Mr Thomas Ardmore read for the first time the constitution of the I'nited States He had reached the governor's office early, and. seeking diversion, he had picked up a small volume that bore some outward resemblance to a novel. This proved, however, to be John ston's "American Politics," and he was amazed to find that this diminu tive work contained the answers to a great many questions which had often perplexed him. but which he had imagined could not be answered ex cept by statesmen or by men like hls friend Griswold, who spent their lives in study. He made note of several matters This Work Contained Answers to a Great Many Questions. he wished to ask Griswold about when they met again; then turned back into the body of the text and had read as far as Burr’s conspiracy when Jer ry came breezily in. He experienced for the first time in his life that obsession of guilt which sinks in shame the office boy who is caught reading a dime novel. Jerry seemed to tower above him like an avenging angel, and though her sword was only ! a parasol, her words cut deep enough. "Well, you are taking it pretty cool!" "taking what?” faltered Ardmore, standing up. and seeking to hide the book behind his back "Why, this outrageous article!" and she thrust a newspaper under his eyes. "Do you mean to say you haven't seen the morning paper?” "To tell you the truth, Miss Danger- i field. I hardly ever read the papers.” I "What's that you were reading when I came in?" she demanded se verely, withholding the paper until she should be answered. ‘lt's a book about the government, and the powers reserved to the states and that sort of thing. 1 was just reading the constitution; I thought it might help us—l mean you—in your work.” "The constitution help me? Hasn't ! It occurred to you before this that 1 what I'm doing is all against the con stitution and the revised statutes and all those books you see on the shelf there?" "But the constitution sounds all right. It seems remarkably reason able. You couldn't ask anything fair er than that!'* "So are the ten commandments fair enough; but you’re on the wrong track, Mr. Ardmore, If you’re trying to support the present administration with stupid things in books. I don’t follow precedents. Mr. Ardmore; I create them.” She turned to the morning mail while he read, and opened the envelopes rapidly. Such of the letters as she thought interesting or Impor tant she put aside, and when Ardmore finished reading a double-leaded tele gram from Columbia, in which the governor of South Carolina was quot ed as declaring his intention of taking j immediate steps for the apprehension ! of Appleweight. she was still reading and sorting letters, tapping her cheek j lightly meanwhile with the official paper-knife. "Here, Mr. Ardmore," she said, drawing a paper from her pocket, "is 1 the answer to that telegram we sent j yesterday evening. Suppose you read * that next, and we can then decide what to do ’* She was making the letters into lit tle piles humming softly meanwhile; but he felt that there was a storm brewing. He read the message from Columbia a number of times, and if the acting governor had not been sc ominously quiet he would have laugh ed at the terse sentences. "There must be a mistake about this He wouldn't have used 'divert ing' that way; that's insulting!'* "So you appreciate Its significance, do you. Mr Ardmore? The Iron «*n ters your soul, does it? You realize that 1 have been insulted, do you?" I shouldn't put it that way. Miss Dangerfleld. Gov. Osborne would never have sent a message like that to you—he thought he was sending it to your father.” "He's insulted me and every other citizen In the Old North State; that's who he's insulted. Mr Ardmore. I>*t me read it again;" and she repeated the telegram aloud; " Your extremely diverting tele gram in Appleweight case received and filed.’ I think it's the extremely that's so perfectly mean The divert ing by itself would not hurt my feel ings half so much He's a good deal smarter man than I thought he was to think up a telegram like that. But what do you think of that piece in the newspaper?" "He says he's going to catch Apple weight dead or alive. That sounds pretty serious." "I think it's a bluff, myself. That telegram we sent him yesterday must have scared him to death. He was driven into a corner and had to do something to avoid being disgraced, and it's easy enough to talk big in the newspapers when you haven't the slightest intention of doing anything at all. I’ve noticed that father talks the longest and loudest about things he doesn't believe at all." "Is it possible?" whispered Ard more incredulously. "Of course it's possible! Father would never have been elected if he'd expressed his real sentiments; neither would anybody else ever be elected if he said beforehand what he really believed." "That must have been the reason I got defeated for alderman on the re form ticket. I told ’em I was for turning the rascals out." "That was very stupid of you You've got to get the rascals to elect you first; then If you're tired of of flee and don’t need them any more you bounce them. But that's political practice; it's a theory we've got to work out now. The newspapers are a lot of bother. 1 spent all yesterday evening talking to reporters. They 1 came to the house to aHk where papa was and when he would be home!” "What did you tell them?" "1 didn't tell them anything I sent out for two other girls and we all just talked to them and kept talking, and gave them lemon sherbet and ginger j cookies; and Eve Hungerford played, the banjo. But what were you doing, Mr Ardmore, that you didn’t iome around to help? It seems to me you don't appreciate the responsibilities of being secretary to a governor " j "I was afraid you might scold ms If I did. And besides I was glued to the long distauce telephone all even ing. talking to my manager at Ards -1 ley. He read me my letters and a lot of telegrams that annoyed me very , much. I wish you wouldn't be so hard on me, for I have trifling trou bles of my own." "I didn't suppose you ever had trou bles; you certainly don’t act as though you ever had." "No one who has never been broth er in law to a duke has the slightest idea of what trouble is." I’ve seen the duke of Ballywinkle’s picture in the papers and he looks very attractive." "Well, if you'd„ever seen him eat celery you’d change your mind He’s going down to Ardsley to visit me; for sheer nerve I must say my rela tions beat the world. I got my place over here in North Carolina Just to get away from them, and now my sis -1 ter —not the duchess, but Mrs Atch i ison—is coming dow r n there with a lot of girls and Ballywtnkle has at tached himself to the party. They’ll pass through here to-day, and they’ll expect to find me at Ardsley." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Various Jewish Projects. As long ago as 1666 Sabatl Zevi sel the Jews of Europe preparing for a return to Palestine. Not only the poor , er brethren but even the rich mer- I chants of Venice and Leghorn were | seized by the excitement, and for a | whole century, the great bulk of the people refused to be disillusioned. It was not until the appearance of George Eliot's "Daniel Deronda” that the Jew ish nationalist movement received another stimulus so strong as this; but in the meantime many schemes were propounded, including an attempt in 1554 to float a company "to enable the descendants of Israel to obtain and cultivate the land of promise." Var ious famous people have been inter ested in the idea of establishing an in dependent Jewish kingdom, not neces sarily in Palestine. The Dutch West India Company tried the experiment in Curacoa. and Oliver Cromwell did the same in Surinam. Marshal Saxe proposed such a kingdom in South America with himself as king, and, In 1860, Judge Noah purchased Grand island in the River Niagara with 9 view to founding a Jewish statu.

(Signed) FRANK CLAYPOOL, Chair man." Such was the verdict in the trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, accused of the murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope, Kan sas City, millionaire philanthropist. It was rendered at 10:22 o’clock Mon- ; day morning. Doctor Hyde sat motionless as the verdict was read. As the words of conviction were spoken Mrs. Hyde broke down com- j pletely and tugged at the arms of her j husband. His two sisters, Mrs. Hop- ; kins and Miss Laura Hyde, mingled j their tears with hers, but the physl- j cian stoically and with the same fixed ; expression of the mouth, said not a ; word. For a time he was even un able to w hisper a word of comfort. “Oh, Clark," cried Mrs. Hyde when the verdict was read by Judge Lat shaw. She threw her arms about his neck and wept silently. Then she patted her husband on the cheek. Doctor Hyde sat motionless. He looked firmly at Judge Latshaw while the verdict was being received. As the words "imprisonment in the State Penitentiary during his natural life,” were pronounced, his eyes fell to the floor. "Don't worry, dearie,” he said to his wife, as she clasped him in her arms. Mrs. E. N. Hopkins and Miss Hyde, sisters of the physician, looked distressed but did not break down. They tried to comfort Mrs. Hyde and appear brave before her. “We shall hope for the best,” they said. "‘We do not understand this verdict. Clark is innocent.” “I haven’t lost hope,” declared Doc tor Hyde. At 10:15 o’clock the jury rapped upon the door of its room to indicate that a verdict had been reached. From almost the first the majority had been overwhelmingly for convic tion, so that when it became known that an agreement hffd been reached it was generally supposed that the state had won its case. Judge Lat shaw was on hand. He had been at the court room since early morning, expecting hourly that an agreement would be reached. The court room was thronged with spectators. DROVE HUSBAND FROM HOME Act of Militant Suffragette That Waa Too Arbitrary to Be Upheld by the Court. The results that may ensue from being married to a suffragette were re vealed the other day in a London (Eng.) suburban police court. Mrs. Tunnicliffe took up the cause and was not able to spend much time at home. When the husband remonstrated she simply commanded her daughter to pack ler father's gripsack and there and then ordered him out of the house. He went, and then the lady sued him for desertion and demanded alimony. "But surely you did not take it so feebly?” asked the magistrate of the husband. "It was no use objecting,” was the answer. "She wanted to be master and said that if I annoyed her she would lock me up. I was only too anxious to go back home, but she would not let me.” The case was dismissed. HELP FOR THE AGED. No Need to Longer Suffer from Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Catherine Sullivan, 1712 Mof fatt St., Joplin, Mo., says: "Like most elderly people, I suffered from kidney trouble for years. My back ached in- tensely and there was a feeling of numbness in my spine. My hands cramped and the urinary passages were profuse. Doc tors prescribed for me but I was not benefited. At last I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They drove my troubles away, and I now enjoy excellent health." Remember the name—Doan’s. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Really a Serious Dilemma. "The chap who works on one side of me.” said an office man, "has been mar ried six weeks and he sneaks to the telephone about four times a day and calls up his wife, and then I hear him saying: 'Dear, how is your headache now? I hope you are feeling better.' Then pretty soon he comes back to his desk and goes to work again all smi ling. "The man who works on the other side of me has been married six years and he goes to the telephone only when he's called and then I hear him saying: 'Why, I can’t possibly do that, I can’t spare the money;' and then he comes back to his desk all scowling. "And, really, when I hear the way these two men go on I don’t know what to do. I don’t know whether to get married or to stay a bachelor.” Catarrh Cannot Be Cured With LOCAL APPLICATION’S, u they cannot resell the Beat of the disease.
