(Continued ffom Saturday.) Max was In a very bad temper: I suppose he had not had enough sleep -—no one had. But he rame over while the lottery was going: on and stood over me and demanded un pleasantly, in a whisper, that I stop masquerading as another man's wife and generally making a fool of my self—which is the way he put It. And I knew in my heart that he was right, and I hated him for it. "Why don't you go and tell him— them?” I asked nastily. No one was paying any attention to us. "Tell them that, to be obliging. I have nearly drowned In a sea of ilea; tell them that I ant not only not married, but that I never intend to marry; tell them that we are a lot of idiots with nothing better to do than to trifle with strangers within our gates, 'people who build—I mean, people that are worth two to our one! Run and tell them." He looked at me for a minute, then he turned on his heel and left me. It looked as though Max might s‘ be going to be difficult. While I was improvising an apron out of a ttowel. and Anne was pinning a sheet into a kimono, so she could take off her dinner gown and still be proper, I>allas harked back to the robbery. "Anne put the collar on the table there.” he said. “There's no mistake about that. 1 watched her do it. for J remember thinking it was the sole reminder 1 had that Consolidated Traction ever went above thirty pine." Max was looking around the room, examining the window-locks and whistling between his teeth. He was in disgrace with every one. for by that time It was light enough to see three reporters with cameras across the street waiting for enough sun to snap the house, and everybody knew that it was Max and his Idiotic wager that had done it lie had made two or three conciliatory remarks, but no one would speak to him His antics were so queer, however, that we were Ril watching him, and when he had felt over the rug with hts hands, and raised the edges, and tried to lift out the chair-seats, and had shaken out Hal's shoes (he said people often hid things and then forgot about it), he made a proposition "If you lit take that Infernal fur nace from around my neck. I'll un dertake either to find the Jewels or tn rtloW up the Thief." lie said quietly And of course, with all the people in the house under suspicion, every one had to hail the suggestion with Joy, and to offer his assistance, and Jimmy had to take Max's share of tb« furnace So thev took the scql Jery slip down stairs to the policeman, end gave Jim Max's share of the furna -e. i Yes 1 had broken the policem an to them gently. (if course. Ante said at once thut he was the thief, but they found him tan ked in and sound asleep with hi* back agfiost the furnace.) "In the first place," Max said, standing importantly iri the middle of the room, "we retired between two ami three—nearer three. So the theft oocurn ,1 between three and five, when Anne woke up. Was your tloor locked. Dal?" No. The door Into the hall was. but the door Into the dressing-room was open, and we found the door from there into the hall open this morning." "From three until five," Max re peated. "Was any one out of his room during that time?" "I was." said Tom Harblson promptly, from the foot of the bed. "I was prowling all around some where about four. searching"—be (glanced at me—"for a drink of water. \ I But as I don't know a pearl from a glass bed, X hope you exonerate me." Everybody laughed and said. "Ot course," and "Sure, old man." and changed the subject quickly. While that excitement was on, I got Jim to one side and told him about Bella • His good-natured face was radiant at ! first. "I suppose she did come to see I Takahiro, eh. Kit?" he asked deli I cately. "She didn't say anything j about me?" "Nothijng good. She said the house l was in a disgraceful condition.” 1 said : heartlessly. 'And her diamond brace let was stolen while she took a nap on the kitchen table'—he groaned — j "and—oh. Jim, you are such a goose: i If I could only manage my own af i fairs the way I could my friends! She's too sure of you, Jimmy. Hhe ; knows you adore her. and—how j brutal could you be, Jim?” "Fair,” he said. "I may have un discovered depths of brutality that t have never had occasion to use. [However, 1 might try. Why?" "Listen. Jim,” I urged. "It was [always Bella who did things here; she managed the house, she tyrannized [over her friends, and she bullied you. ! Yes. she did. Now she's here, with j out your invitation, and she has to I stay. It's your turn to bully, to dic ; tate terms, to be coldly civil or [politely rude. Make her furious at ; you. Jf she is jealous, so much the 'better.” j "How far yould you sacrifice .your self on the altar of friendship."' he asked. "You may pay me ail the attention you like, in public," I replied, anu I after we shook hands we went to gether to Bella There was an ominous pause when !we went Into the den. Bella was su iting by the register, with her furs jon, and after one glance over her shoulder at us. she looked away again without speaking '■Bella.'' Jim said appealingly. And then 1 pirn hed his arm. and he drew , himself up aiui luulutd properly wud i raged "Bella." he said, coldly this time. ; "I can't imagine why you have put i yourself in this ridiculous position, but since you have—” She turned on him in a fury •'Put myself in this position' She j was frantic. ' it's a plot, a u retched trick of yours, this quarantine, to 'keep me here ' Jim gasped, but I gate him a i warning glance, and he sw allowid hard. •'tin the contrary." he said, with ■maddening quiet. ‘ I would be the last person in the world to w tsh to perpetuate an indiscretion of tour# i For it w as hardly discreet, w as it. to i visit a bachelor establishment alone i at ten o'clock at night” As far as my plotting to keep you here is con cerned, 1 assure tou that nothing 'could be further from my mind. Our ; oaths were to be two parallel lines [that never touch." He looked at me for approval, and Bella ttas choking. •You are worse than I ever thought tou." she stormed. "I thought you j were only a—a fool. Now I know you—for a brute: ’ Well, it ended by Jim's graciously being nothing else to do—and bt his permitting Bella to remain-—there being nothing else to do—and by his magnanimously agreeing to keep her real identity from Aunt Selina and Mr Harbtson, and to break the news of her presence to Anne and the rest. It created a sensation beside which Anne’s pearls faded away, although they came to the front again soon enough. (To Be Continued ) SIDELIGHTS ALONG WASHINGTON BYWAYS WASHINGTON", P. July 11 — "When nre you going home'" asked Senator Bristow of Senator Bourne, of Oregon. The Oregon man mopped hi* faro and moaned a melancholy moan. "I can't go till I dig out," he said. ‘‘I-ei m« show you." He led the way to Ills committee room, where, piled In a herner on the floor, were some thousands of letters. Three clerks were sorting them and addressing envelopes. “What's It all about!" demanded Bristow. "That speech that I knew I couldn't make,” replied Bourne, a picture of despair. Bristow laughed. He remembered. It came about In this way: Senator Bourne hud been a Senator shout three years and had never made a speech. He war the stillest Sena tor; also, popular In proportion to his stillness Hut one day he got the idea that ha ought to make a speech. He conferred with friends, and they told him to sail in. "Naver too late to learn," they Insisted. So Bourne prepared his speech. It was on "Kestorlng the Government to the F’eople.” Specifically, it told how the people make the laws In Oregon —the direct primary, the Initiative, re fer. ndum and recall. When the speech was prepared Bourne lost his nerve and read It to the Senate. He Isn't much of n reader, either. Then the trouble began The speech broke into the papers. Bourne hadn't realized that he had a great speech, ] but everybody else did. Just enough ; of it was printed to whet the appetites ! of the people for more. They rill sat down at once to write a letter to the Senator, asking for a copy. Senator Bourne had 20,000 copies printed and they lasted about twenty j HISTORICAL PUZZLE Tb« man and hi* wife are watching t heir p§te. Where are they?

Then some thing funny happened. Folks began writing letters like this: "Dear Senator: —Wo have read about your speech.

Having still a firm eonviction that he couldn't mak* a speech, and that it was all some sort of gigantic 1 unco game that practical Jokers were setting upon him. he worried considerably. But the letters kept on coming, and the Senator told his clerks to send back the money in every case and also to send all the copies of the speech that were asked for. The speech was delivered about a month ago. To data the copies aent out In response to requests number a little to the rls> of SOO.OOO. And the demands nre coming in as fast as ever. •'PotCt _ you. see w hy L can't go home"" demanded the Senator, in conclusion. "I'm going to see that everybody that asks for it g> ts a copy of that speech, because I think this Oregon si heme only needs to be un derstood by the country to be adopted by every State in the Union.

When President* Taft left Washing ton for his summer home in Beverly. Mass , t! White House and the whole administration was for more popular than at any time since Theodore Hoosevcit and William I-oeb, Jr., pack ed up their duds und went away—the one to a good job in New York and the other to depopulate the animal ! kingdom in Africa. The nan respon sible for the restoration of kindly feel ing for President Taft is Charles P. Norton, of Chicago, who gave up the position - f Assistant Secretary <-f the i Treasury to become nrlvate secretary | to the President. Fred Carpenter, formerly private secretary t-. Mr. Taft, was the most ■loyal and faithful man who undertook the position of confidential man to the President of the Unif-bn States, but F imeliow «>!• n:h»*r sib%'and gloom, secrecy and evasion pervaded the at mosphere during the t'arpenter regime. The result was that Senators. It* j>r« - sentatives. correspondents and private citizens left the White House dis gruntled. When President Taft was finally made to realize the gravity of the situation he looked carefully for h man to fill the jol> us it had been fill ed by William Loeb, and his choice was Mr. Norton. Mr. Norton has the faculty of turn ing down a politician or heading a cor* respondent away from a story without engendering any hard feelings. Inci dentally he has a sense *f humor, which helps out when you an- acting as buffer for the President Just be fore the President left for Beverly Mr, Norton told a group of correspondents that President Taft had planned to work systematically and energetically white ‘fit his summer home. “This is not to he a vacation in the real sense of the word/* remarked Mr. Norton. “It is to be a period of hard work in a change »>f climate * “How about the many hours of golf?” questioned a doubting and ma licious correspondent, Mr. Norton knew that the question was 11 poser *1 may remark.” he said. ‘ that there will be a judicious mixture of golf for health’s sake/* i SOUTHWEST RICHMOND Miss Annie .Sutton anil her nieces.
