CHAPTER x.
nETWrEnI THE LINES.

Mr.. Willie Mckee walked restlessly
up and down the bachelor rooms, spe-
ciai pride of his friend Carroll Meredith.
Unique they were in decoration; antlers
of ten, hung with varied guns, fishing
tackle and game bags; rare stuffed
specimens on brackets and stands;
while the walls showed best reproduc-
lions of the sporting triumphs of Amer
lean and foreign art.
But the younger man was alone, as
night fell rapidly overthe cold quietude
of the city, -four days after that Sabbath
when the prisoners had passed through
Baltimore streets; and with it fell the
north wind, hat had howled all day,
leaving the outer air piercing cold. and
prcsaging q sharp, hard freeze.
Raising the sash, Mckee peered out
anxiously into the fast-growing gloom,
then shutting the window with a bang,
and shivering, as he muttcred:
"Growing devilish cold! Why don't
he come? His dispatch said five
o'clock"
He poked the fire ~nervously, lit a
fresh cigar, ard threw himself into n
great leathern clair, thinking, half
aloud:
"Um! if Pete has come over, I'll risk
it tonight, without waiting for that
nameless adviser she trusts SO implicit
ly. If this calm holds, the river will
freeze; and then"
Brisk clattcr of hoofs on the stones
without brought the thinker to his feet,
with the exclamation:
sat last, thank heaven!"
But as he waited expectant for Car
roll Meredith's entrance, the door
banged, a slow, heavy step crossed the
hall, and a stout. ruddY-faced Irish

ordered confusion. quickly his prac-
ticed eye ran over the whole, selecting
two wigs, several pairs of heavy tights,
n lot of pads and female busts, and nu-
merous pots of paint-chosen with most
care. Packing them into a valise. he
passed noiselessly into the street and
.r~egained Meredith's house. He entered
without ringing, and softly opened the
door of the sitting-room. The old bach
elor was stretched at ease in his great
leathern chair, q warm smoking-jacket
~enveloping his sturdy frame, and his
slippered feet stretched coZily to the
fire, his huge m~eerschaum filling the
room with fragrant, dream-inducing
clouds. From any visions he was
aroused by the quiet query:
"Wud we be afther mindin' a cup O.
tay, now, wild a bite o. shopper? Or
wud yc rather wait fur that shrimp.
Willie Mckay, to COON
"Why, Mary, how dare you The
devil! Is that you, Willie?" Carroll
cried, as he turned. "Why man, what
is the matter? You look as grave as a
ghost, for all your nonsense"
sit was not nonsense; only serious
practice" the younger man returned.
''If 1 can fool you, think l may risk
the b~lue-coats. Carroll, you can trust
Mary implicitly?"
"As 1 can myself, with a secret, OF a
treasure" was the reply. "But what
do you mean?"
''Qnly to play the Dromios with her,
for one night only" Mckee answered,
looking at his watch. "By Jove! nearly
twelve! Ring for her, before she goes
to bed"
Fifteen minutes later, the leader of
the german stood before the great mir
ror in Meredith's bedroom, side by side
with the Irish serving woman, peering
keenly into its depths at her face, while
his deft hand applied unguent, pigment
and paint to his own. Perfect master

Swiftly her eye ran over it once and

once more she fell to studying the let

wonderment.

And all three watched eagerly as the

to dark brown as they read:

slowly removed the paper, the mystic

cooled. Then she said, calmly:

THE CONFIDENCE COMMITTEE.
A Resolution Adopted After Long Dis
crssion-The Amendment.

The Committee on Conference, which
had been appointed by the two branches
of the City Council to bring about, II
possible. an arrangement as TO the adj
ditTonal powers asked for by the Commit
tee on Retrenchment and Reform, held
its first meeting in the Council Chamber
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Messrs.
GuigOn. Caneal and W. l.. White were
nresent from the Common Council. and
NIessrs. J. w White and Hardwicke
from the Board of Aldermen. Mr.. VII
liam s. Gum, of the Board, was the only
absentee.
Mr.. Guigon stated that he had been in
formed by President Glover tn 1t under
the rules. his name having been mention
ed first on the list, he was to be the chair
man.
The resolution originally adopted by
the Common Council reld as follows:
BE it resolved by the Council of the
city of Richmond, the Board of Aldermen
conourring. that the officers Of the va
rious departments of the city government
be and are hereby instructed to afford
70 the Committee on Retrenchment and
Reform every possible facility in the ex-
animation of their respective depart
mcnts."
The resolution was only agreed to by
the Board of Aldermen after the follow
ing amendment had been added:
THAT such questions as arc pro
pounded to the heads Of departments
and others by the Committee on Re-
trenchment aud Reform, or any member
thereof. shall be specified, and all queS-
tons and answers thereto shall be fully
entered Of record by the clerk of the com
mittee."
The discussion on the whole subject
was a lengthy and thorough one. Cap
tain Guigon stated the situation i'm detail.
and Mr.. W. l.. White said that he was
opposed to having the investigation go
back into the past, unless ne should be
convinced that the city would be bene-
fitted financially or otherwise. In allnd-
ing to the mistakes which il has been
alleged have been committed in the con-
structiOn of the new City Hall. Mr..
White stated that no man yet had erected
n building without having any mistakes
to Green in.
Mr. Guieon took the ground, that if the
amendment was passed, any head OF
city department would be enabled 10 say
that any question propounded was n0I
specific enough, and the committee would
have TO come back to the City Council
for further authority.
Mr.. w. l.. White stated that he was
in favor Of the original resolution with
ont the amendment.
Mr.. Hardwicke said that he should in
sist upon the amendment. He thought
the committee should state distinctly
what they wished to find out. and should
not ask questions in a general way.
After some further discussion. Mr.. Car
neal moved that the Conference Com
mittee endorse the original resolution. as
adopted by the Common Council without
the amendment. The motion was car
RED Mr.. Hardwicke alone voting in the
negative.
The report Of the committee to that
effect will be made TO the Board of Alder
men. and il is understood that every
member of the Committee on Retrencli-
ment and Reform would resign rather
than be subjected to the provisions of the
amendment
