CHAPTER XIV.-(Continued)
This afternoon, one of many that Bar
bara has given up to duty, finds her as
usual in Lady Monkton's drawing room
listening to her mother-in-law's comments
on this and that, and trying to keep her
temper, for Frederick's sake, when the old
lady finds fault with her management OF
the children.
She has one compensation for the visit.
Dicky Browne and Felix Dysart drop in
and are both surprised and glad to see her
and to learn that Joyce, too, is in tow to
stay for the winter. Before Barbara re-
turns home she has confided to Dysart
the fact that Joyce will visit the art gal
lery in Broad street the next day.
"Well, did you like the gallery asks
Mrs. Monkton, throwing aside her book to
greet Joyce as she returns from Dore's
the next day. Barbara had let the girl
go to see the pictures without telling her
of the meeting with Felix. She had been
afraid to say anything about him lest that
guilty secret of hers might transpire-
that deliberate betrayal of Joyce's intend
ed visit to Broad street on the morrow.

very graphic in his remarks" says Joyce,
sinking listlessly into a chair, and taking
off her hat. She leans back in her chair,
the troubled look on her face growing
intensified. She seems glad to be silent,
and with downcast eyes plays with the
gloves lying in her lap.
Something has happened, Joyce" says
her sister, going over to her.
Something is happening always" re-
turned Joyce, with a rather impatient
smile.

Facts Revealed by the COnHscatiOn of
Letters at CaiOOcan.

The capture of Caloocan, in the Philip
pine Island of Luzon. by the United States
forces recently, resulted in the eonfiscation
of a number of letters addressed to the in
surgent government of Aguinaldo Postal
Agent Vaille has forwarded one of these
letters to Acting Postmaster General Heath
as souvenir.
1t is addressed to Aguinaldo's so-called
secretary of the treasury, and Is in reply
to a request for money. The writer is ap-
parently the fiscal officer a Lucena, LuZon,
to whom the insurgents had intrusted the
duty of squeezing the merchants and he
had apparently confiscated for the insurg-
ent cause a lot of cocoa fiber belonging to
large tobacco company. When asked to
turn over the proceeds the agent remarked
that only So 800 had come into his hands
and that amount he had paid away to the
troops who were clamorous for more. The
letter Is written in very fair Spanish, with
one or two Filipino peculiarities, in an eX
cellent hand, and follows the usual displo-
matte style of having a two-inch margin
at the left side.
Apparently Aguinaldo's treasury officials
are running short of paper, for the outer
covering Of the letter is made of a sheet of
paper written all over, torn out of a record
book, and it was tied round with a frayed
fragment of Manila bagging.
Another letter captured in similar man.
ner has been received by the Post Office
Department from the provincial governor of
Antipolo. addressed to Aguinaldos secre-
tary of the interior, in which he apologies
for not being present at Malolos at the pro-
mitigation of the constitution assigning as
a reason that the telegram commanding his
presence, though dated January y only
reached him January %, two days too late
To atone for his absence, he saws he or
dered all the local municipal presidents to
get up demonstrations and cry: Long live
Filipino independence" and Down with an
neXaton.' This is signed by Governor lose
Eiros, governor of Antipolo.
Some intercepted letters to Aguinaldo
himself have also come into the possession
of the Post Office Department.
