II is said senator Allison declined

IT is said Senator Allison declined
to serve on the peace commission be-
cause he thought he coHld he of more
good to his party in Iowa by STAYING
at home. The man who places his
standing with his party above the
best interests of his country is poor
sample of American, as the Freeport
Bulletin says. and it is pleasant to
know the number is very small. All
things considered, however. the
country is to be congratulated that
this man was too timid to put him
self on record on a policy to outline
the course of this government with
respect to the settlement of the Span
ish war. Mr.. Allison has never been

CHAPTER XIV.

When they reached tho street, they
saw the Benten party about half q block
ahead of them.

"That's all right. kola will catch

has never said he would do thing and
failed. There he is now.'
A man dressed In the costume Of tho
East Indies emerged from the dark
doorway Of an uninhabited apartment
house in the middle of the block and
stepped in front Of the Benton party.
Hendricks drew his companion into tho
shadow Of wall and held bis breath.
Kola seemed to be talking to them
earnestly, and they seemed to be hesi-
tating.
After few minutes the group moved
on, and Kola came toward Hendricks
and Lampkin. They heard him laugh

Good" said the detective. "Glad
you put on those togs. Such things
work on the average American mind"
Kola touched his richly oolored tur-
ban and turned and sauntered on after
the group. Hendricks drew Lampkin
round and hurried him toward Ninth
avenue.
II am completely at sea-" remarked
the doctor as they turned the corner
and started up town.
The detective laughed. ITS oil on
the programme, he said. 1T would
spoil your fun If were to let you in
to the secret Just now" Hendricks
smoothed out his long beard with both
hands. "Blasted hot, these things" he
muttered. II say, doctor. did you ever
investigate the psychic powers Of the
East Indian adepts9'
"No," answered the doctor.
"Do you believe In their 20 called
supernatural powers1"
DR.. Lampkin reflected.
II am forced to believe that they are
much more deeply versed in psychology
than we are," he admitted.
"Kola is a marvel" said Hendricks

At about half after O'Clock that
evening the figures Of two aged men
mounted the steps Of one Of the new

near Eighth avenue.
Farnhall himself met them at tho

with the doctor. II shall have to leave

Hendricks. Don't let us disturb you. "

at would be q genuine pleasure,
answered Hendricks; but, as told you
the other day. I don't believe you can
succeed"
Farnhall looked a little Crestfallsn.
"You don't think so7 And in case !
fail suppose you won't let me help
you in the plans you have in view"
"Sorry, but it il impossible" said
the detective. "You see, we are in dis
guise, and it would not do to run the
risk of adding another man. But I ehall
do all can toward recovering the miss

Hendricks. II want to follow them a.
soon ~ they leave the house."
Half an hour later Hendricks and
Lampkin heard the front doorbell ring.
The detective sprang to the door Of the
dining room, drew aside the curtain
and peered cautiously into the hall.
Voices were heard exchanging greet
ings, and then they ceased as the draw
ing room door closed.
Hendricks turned to his companion.
Good 70 fsr" he ejaoulated. "They
are all here, every one Of them. was
afraid some one would back out on some
pretsxt or other"
An hour passed. Not . word was
spoken by tho two men. Hendricks sat
at the open fire, his hands olasped over
bis knee. Suddenly he sprang up. They
had heard the door of the drawing
room open. The hall was filled with the
sound of footsteps and voices. Then the
front door closed, and Farnhall came
into the room.
