But when Armitage left the colonel
at later hour and sought his own room
for brief rest he was in no such buoy
ant mood. A night search for tramp
in the dense thicEcts among the bluffs
and woods of Sablon could hardly be
successful. 1t WAS useless to make the
attempt He slept but little during the
cool August night and early in the
morning mounted horse and trotted
over to the railway station.
''Has any train gone northward since
last night?' he inquired at the office.
"None that stops here" was the an
swer. "The first train up comes along
at 1856"

Sibley and get an answer without delay.
Can you work it for me?''
The agent nodded and pushed over
package of blanks. Armitage wrote
rapidly as follows:

"Do you mean-do you think it was
Jerrold?"
Good God, yes! Who else could it
be? Disguised, of course, and bearded,
but the figure, the carriage, were just
the same, and he came to this window
to her window-and called, and she
answered. My God, Armitage, think of

Come with me, colonel. You are all
unstrung," was the captains answer as
he led his broken friend away. At the
front door he stopped one moment, then
ran up the steps and into the hall, where
he tapped lightly at the easement.
"What is it," was the low response
from an invisible source.
Miss Allce!
"Yes,"
"The watchman is here now. will
send him around to the window to keep
guard until our return. The colonel is

colonel was out here and made jump
at him. They had scuf1ie in the

of it, I think.
''Is papa hurt?''
"No; little bruised and shaken and
mad as hornet. think perhaps I'll
get him quieted down and sleepy in a
few minutes if you and Mrs. Maynard
will be content to let him stay with me.
I can talk almost any man drowsy."
Mamma seems to worry for fear he
is hurt"
"Assure her solemnly that he hasn't
a scratch. He is simply fighting mad,
and I'm going to try to find the tramp.
Does Mrs Maynard remember how he
looked?"
"She could not see the face at all.
She heard some one at the shutters and
voice and supposed, of course, it was
papa and threw open the blind"
"Oh, seei That's all, Miss Alice.
I'll 90 back to the colonel. Good
night" And Armitage went forth with
a lighter step.
Zone sensation knocked endwise, colo
mel. I have it on the best of authority
that Mrs. Maynard so fearlessly went
to the window in answer to the voice
and noise at the shutters simply because
she knew you were out there some
where, and she supposed it was you.
How simple these mysteries become
when little daylight is let in on them,
after all! Come, I'm going to take you
over to my room for stiff glass Of

A fact that you are perhaps
not aware of. Do you know
that We are manufacturers of
these goods ? True it is that
we have one of the largest
shirt waist factories in this
country. Our plant is in Phil
adelphia. We employ large
force of hands and supply the
representative houses of the
country with our product.
Therefore does itnot appear
reasonable that our prices must
be right and below colnpeti-
ton? You do not pay the
middleman's profit. You are
buying direct from the manu-
facturer and paying only
small advance above first cost.
Our goods are all made over
LIVING MODELS by expert hands
and a fit is guaranteed. The
workmanship is unexcelled. In
consequence Of these facts we
are warranted in asserting that
we can sell you a waist COM
plete at the price you pay for
the material alone. Don't be-
lieve us come in and convince
yourselves.

officers there to watch closely the high
church clergyman of Birmingham. So

The great convention of Republican
every section of the country and
every element and condition in the
party, larger in numbers than ever
before and more intense in enthusi-
asm, is an infallible index of the pres
ent strength and vigor of Republican,
ism.
1t is well that such a gathering
should be held under the favorable
auspices of the prevailing unity and
enthusiasm. The great presidential
contest is but a year ahead, and in
that contest the Republicans of the
country, though even now assured of
victory, must pursue the line of cam
paign that will not only effectively
defeat, but permanently destroy the
Democratic opposition. The opportu-
nifty is offered them; it is their duty
to improve it, and the Cleveland con-
vention, the preliminary council of
must result in broad benefit to the
party. The discussion of prevailing
issues, the adjustment of purpose to
the one great end, the earnestness
and the spirit of the convention will
have it's effect on the greater gather
ing of next year which will name the
next president, and frame the prin-
ciples that are to be triumphant, the
more easily for the discussion the de-
liberation and the harmony of the
gathering at Cleveland.

THE MORA CLAIM.

Pressure has been brought upon
Spain by this government to settle
this long standing claim 1t dates
back twenty five years ago, when An
tonic Maxine Mora, who owned ex
tensive sugar estates in Cuba, but
who had become a citizen and resi-
dent of this country, who was unjust
ly accused by the Spanish authorities
of being implicated in the rebellion
then going on in the island, sentenced
to death though absent, and his prop
erty confiscated. Our government
protested against this outrage, and
Spain acknowledged having acted
wrongly. A decree was passed for
the restoration of Morals estates in
Cuba, but the execution of the decree
was delayed on various pretexts, and
the estates allowed to go to ruin. The
Spanish treasury, however, reaped a
large income from the property,
amounting on Dec. 8, 1877, to 50, ,317,
900. After further delay, Spain offer
ed to settle the whole matter by pay
ing an indemnity of 81, 800, 900, and
our government accepted this offer.
But though nine years have passed,
the claim still remains unpaid. Efforts
have been made from time to time to
obtain the money, but they have been
unsuccessful. Our last Congress pass
ed a resolution that the President in
sist upon the payment of the sum
agreed, with interest. Secretary Oh
ney has written letter to the Span
ish government, courteous but i'm
perative, which will, it is believed,
receive attention. Mr.. Mora, the
claimant, is still living in New York.

According to the annual repo rt Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
1923 railway employees were killed last
year, and %, ,422 were injured while in
the discharge of their duties. 1t is
gratifying to note that this is de-
crease of about 5000 from 1898. But
these figures must still be regarded as
excessive, and suggest the imperative
necessity of railroads using every
safety appliance possible, and the ex-
ercise of greater caution.
