the street and into the saloon-a night
resort for printers-across the way.
The saloon was empty save for
group Of three men at table in a far
corner. OHeNof these men Buchanan
recognized as Bolton the swindler; an
other was the discharged printer,
Healy. Even as they entered bundle
of papers lay in the middle of the table,
while Bolton was counting out some
greenbacks.
Buchanan set down the child, and
spraIg like a cat does upon a mouse,
at the documents.
Hold those men. They are thieves"
he cried, seizing the papers and ward
ing off a frantic blow from Bottoms
sledge-hammer fist.
In the confusion Buchanan made,
good his escape, catching up the fright
sened Peggy as he went, and still
clutching the Bolton papers. In the
street he met a policeman, and dis
patched him to the saloon, where the
erring janitor was probably paying for
his carelessness in a tussle with the
Bolton gang.
But Buchanan did not care, so long
as the papers and Peggy We're safe
In the office, while they waited for
news from the "seat of war;" the grim
city editor found time to tell Peggy
what he thought of her.
You have done a great thing for the
paper, Peggy" he said; "and we
shan't forget it. By the way, We need
an office boy badly, and 1 don't know
anybody better fitted for the job than
you.'
The great Bolton case as published in
the Dissemination made a sensation;
and when Jimmy McGovern got well
and came back to work he found him
self obliged to take a subordinate posi-
tion-as Peggy's assistant.-Chicago

though with an axe, and the Bolton
proofs were gone!
Now that Buchanan knew the worst,
his calmness returned. Carrying the
child to the refrigerator in the corner,
he made her drink a glass of water.
Peggy revived instantly. Her voice
returned; and she managed to lisp out
her story.
Coming with her father from late
visit to Jimmy at the hospital, they had
stopped to see the night watchman of
the Dissemination office. This careless
parsonage had coolly left little Peggy
in charge while he Slipped across the
street a minute" for refreshments,
with his old crony, McGovern, senior.
They had hardly been absent five
minutes when Peggy, half doing, in
q dark corner. heard stealthy steps.
and saw two men enter the room. One
of them she recognized as a discharg-

by name. Not seeing Peggy in her cor

"About four miles from Philadelphia
there was magnificent mansion built
after the Italian manner in the previ-
GUS century by Governor John Penn,
and known as Lansdowne house in
honor of the Marquis of Lansdowne.
Here Joseph Bonaparte," records Will
liam Perrine, writing in the April
Ladies' Home Journal of when the
King of Spain Lived ON the Banks of
the Schuylkill,' established himself
in rural ease until he had built his
palace at Bordentown, N. ]. Toward
the end of the summer Of 1917 Joseph
had little dinner party at Lansdowne.
Among the guests was DIR. Benjamin
Rush's daughter, Julia, who was
pleased with what she thought his
fluent conversation, his urbane man
ner and his good looks, and who, per-
haps, was somewhat inclined to sympa-
thize with his complaint that Napoleon
had not been at all disposed to let him
have much of his own way either as SOL
dier or king.
"On one occasion only he gave a
magnificent fete on the lawn of his
princely estate, and all the beaus and
bellies of Philadelphia who had been in
vited dressed in their most picturesque
summer gowns and made haste to at
tend. 1t was brilliant afternoon fete,
and Bonaparte was the center of attrac-
tion as he stood on his lawn and well
coined his guests. BUTT is doubtful
whether there were at any time more
than half dozen persons in Philadel-
phia, or for that matter in the whole
country, to whom he bore anything like
close and confidential relations. He
liked little children, and they were
sometimes in the habit of speaking OF
him as the good Mr.. Bonaparte.' -
