CHAPTER XX.


Although the steamship that took
Kenyon to America was one OF the
speediest in the Atlantic service, yet
the voyage was inexpressively dreary
20 him. He spent most OF his time
walking up and down the deck think
Ing about the other voyage of n few
months before. The one consolation
# his present trip was It's quiclSness.
When he arrived at his hotel in New
York, he asked IL there was any mes
sage there for him, and the clerk hand
ed him an envelope, which he tore open.
1t was n cable dispatch from Went
worth, with the words: "Longworth
at Windsor. Proceed to Ottawa imme-
diately. Get option renewed. Long
worth duping us"
John knitted his brows aud won
dered where Windsor was. The clerk,
seeing his perplexity, asked IL he could
be OF any assistance.
81 have received this cablegram, but
don't quite understand it. Where is
Windsor"
"Oh, that means the Windsor hotel.
Just up the street"
Kenyon registered, and told the clerk
TO assign him a room and send his bag
gage up TO IL when IL came. Then he
walked out from the hotel and sought
the Windsor.
He found the colossal hostelry, and
was just inquiring Of the clerk whether
a Mr.. Longworth was staying there
when that gentleman appeared at the
desk and took some letters and his key.
Kenyon tapped him on the shoulder.
Young Longworth turned round
with more alacrity than he usually dis
played. and gave long whistle of sur
prise when he saw whom IL was.
"In the name of all the gods" he
cried, "what are you doing here2''
Then, before Kenyon could reply, he
said: "Come up 10 my ROOM"
They went TO the elevator, rose n
few stories. and passed down an APP
parcntly endless hall, carpeted with
some noiseless stuff that gave no echo
OF the football. Longworth put his key
into the door and opened IL. They
entered n large and pleasant room.
SWELL" he said. "this is surprise.
What is the reason of your being here
Anything wrong in London9'

ton and to remain neutral as an or
ganization. All the excursions from
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky and Tennessee to the re-
union have been abandoned on account
of the coal strike. The 623 subordinate
lodges report money In their treasures,
but relief for the miners will be secured
