Chatham; you have avoided me, and

gently.

Chatham, who was growing more and

SHERIFF AF-
TER TAYLOR.
Kentucky Official Here
With Warrant For ex=
Governors Arrest.

Philadelphia, June 26-The High
Sheriff of Frankford county, Ken
lucky, with two lawyers, one of
whom is the representative Of the
States Attorney General, is in this
city waiting for chance to serve
warrant on Ex-Governor William
S. Taylor, of Kentucky, charging
him with being implicated in the
murder OF William Goebel.
Governor Taylor, with his wife,
came here to attend the Republi-
can National Convention, where he
was one Of the conspicuous figures.
1t had been the Governors inten-
ton to return West with the men,
bers of the Indiana delegation, but
was detained here through the ILL
ness of his wife. The Governor and
Mrs. Taylor are still at the CONT
mental Hotel, but are occupying a
different suite of rooms than the
ones they used during convention
week.
Governor Taylor went to Atlantic
City on Sunday, returning in the
evening. He was to have been the
guest of Theodore Justice, at the
latter's home in Germantown, last
night, bit at the last moment he
decided hot to accept the invita-
tion. The Ex-Governor and Mrs.
Taylor have instructed the clerks
at the hotel that they will receive
no callers. and no cards are taken
to their rooms. 1t was even denied
at the hotel last night that the
Governor was stopping there.
AS Governor Stone will not honor
any application for requisition pa
pers for Ex-Governor Taylor, the
presence Of the officers who are
logging his trail need not cause
him any immediate alarm. Should
he, however, inadvertently step
over into some other State where
there is a less friendly Executive,
the High Sheriff Of Frankford
county will be on hand ready to
serve his warrant

CHAPTER XIV,
TWO LOVERS.

Miss Murdoch was seated at the piano
In the drawing-room, her shapely fin
gers wandering dreamily over the keys,
when a servant knocked at the door.
"A gintleman to see yer, miss" said
the maid.
"A caller!" exclaimed Agnes, In sur
prise. AT this time Of day? Did he
give you his curd9"
"No, miss. Nor his name, nayther."

q mixture of amusement and severity,

you would better keep an eye on the

maid, positively; "he do be dressed up

teller wild rid -Mister--Mister
Cha-Chapman."
"Chatham!" suggested Agnes, with
sudden seriousness.
, "Yis, miss; 1t do be the same"
II cannot receive him." said Miss
Murdoch, in frigid tones. II am sur
prised that John should have admitted
him, after the explicit instructions
gave him yesterday. Hereafter am
never at home to Mr.. Chatham"
"Your butler is not at fault in this
instance" said voice from the hall
way, and before either of the women
could recover from her surprise, a
fashiTy dressed young man with in
tensely red hair entered the room. He
carried his left arm in a sling. His
face was pale; his eyes glittered with
q feverish light; his voice quivered
with repressed excitement.
II was waiting for your father in
his office, when l heard your maid 60
by, and asked her to announce me.

reply; and then:

to the maid.

II suppose my conduct does strike
you as ungentlemanly," said the
young man, piteously; "but what could
l do? I love you devotedly, madly,
and you will not allow me even to
tell you so. You instruct your serv-
ants to turn me away from the door
like beggar. Is 1t a crime to love
