CHAPTER X.

"Three mortal hours" said Miss Fol
som to her fond little school friend and
chum that afternoon, have had to sit
or stroll with or listen to Mai. Bur-
leigh. l never once was able to enjoy
the view. What made him hurry us

along together. TWAS just after that

"Mrs. Fletcher isn't going. A very

could hardly curb her impatience. The
mail from Frayne, so said Folsom,
would arrive that evening, and then
surely there would be news of Mar
shall. They had slipped away to their
rooms after the bountiful luncheon
served on their return, in order, as
Pappoose expressed-it, that the gen.
tlemen might have their cigars in
peace. Mrs. Fletcher, after seeing that
everything was prepared, had direct
ed the servant to say to Mr.. Folsom,
on the return of the party, that she
would prefer not to appear, and would
be glad to keep her room, as she did
not feel it at all necessary for the
housekeeper to meet strangers, and
Folsom felt sense of relief. 1t was
so much sweeter not to have any pre-
siding genius other than Pappoose,
not that he was forgetful of Mrs.
were great-but it was plain to see
that his daughter would have been
happier had no such Office existed as
that created for this deserving and
destitute widow. At three Miss Fol-
som had gone and tapped at the lady's
door-hcr room was in the third story,
overlooking the strickland was very
civilly assured that Mrs. Fletcher
stood in need of nothing, but, being
wearicd, she would like little sleep.
No, she did not even care for cup of
tea. Yet Elinor felt confident that
the voice that replied to her inquiries
came neither from the bed nor the
lounge, but from the direction of the
front window.
At three the cigars were smoked out
and the host and his guests were in
the library. 1t was Folsom's custom,
when possible thing, to take brief
nap after the midday meal, and Elinor
felt sure he would be glad of the OPP
portunity now, if Burleigh would only
go, but Burleigh wouldn't. In monot-
onous monologue his voice came float
ing up to the second floor, drowsy,
unbroken in it's soporific flow, and the
girls themselves, after the mornings
drive in the clear, bracing air, felt as
though forty winks would, be bless
ing. Could it be that Burleigh lin
gered on in hopes of their reappear-
ance below? Might it not be that if
relief came not speedily Papa Fol-

som would yield to the spell and fall
asleep in his easy-chair? Was it not
Miss Folsom's duty to descend and
take the burden of entertainment off
those elder shoulders? These thoughts
oppressed the girl, and, starting up,
she cried:
Its simply wicked of me staying
here and letting poor papa be bored
to death. DO come down, Jess, dear,
unless you're too dreadfully sleepy.
He acts just as though he intended
never to CO."
And Jess promised reluctantly to
come down in ten minutes, if he didn't
leave; but she hated him, and had
hated him ever since he spoke so of
Marshall in the car three days before.
The upper hall had been quite dark
when Miss Folsom went up to inquire
how Mrs. Fletcher was, just after
luncheon. The door to her little room
was tightly closed. The blinds in all
the other rooms aloft We're drawn
against the glare of the sunshine in
the cloudless atmosphere, yet now, as
Pappoose stepped suddenly out upon
the landing, she was surprised to see
that the upper floor was much lighter
than when she went up half ar hour
earlier. The maid had not gone thith-
err from the kitchen, and Mrs. Fletch-
err wished to doze. Who, then. could
have opened both blind and door and
let in that flood of light? Impulsive-
ly the active girl flew up the winding
stairs to the third story, and some one
suddenly withdrew from the balcony
rail, and an instant later, as Miss
Folsom reached the top, all became
| dark again. Mrs. Fletcher's door had
unquestionably been open, and was
now shut to. She must have been out
there listening, and gravely the young
| girl asked herself what it meant
Mrs. Fletchcr's agitation in the IL
brary that morning as she pecrcd out
at the majors wagon; her absence
from luncheon on account, as she
pleaded, of not. desiring to appear
when company was present; and now,
despite her, desire to sleep, her vigil
at the third-foor landing, where she
was surely listening to the sounds
from below.
Pondering over the facts, Elinor
Folsom slowly retraced her steps and
went downstairs. She reached the H.
brary none too soon. Old Johns eyes
We're closed and he was slowly top
ping, overcome with sleep. The sound
of her CHEEKY voice aroused him. and
he started, guilty and crestfallen.
Burleigh's heavy face frightened
visibly at her coming. lie cared no
more for music than does cat, but

hall into the parlor when she suggest

buried his hot head in Il pillow, and
was asleep in ten seconds. Maj. Bur

ter of the veteran trader. He was q

Gated girl just out of school-so said
Burleigh, albeit most charming one:
and he. who had monorolized her time
the entire morning, bore down once
more upon his prize.

CHAFFEE IN PEKIN.

AS against the demonstrated in,
efficiency of civilian management
in the staff departments of the
army, Americans can obtain some
satisfaction from the general com
mendation of our purely military
service at Pekin.
The experienced correspondent
of the London Morning Post
speaks in the highest terms of the
management of the quarters al
lotted to the Americans and the
Japanese. They show, he says,
liability on the part Of the Ameri.
cans to handle a subject people
which they have not developed
elsewhere to proper advantage"
and he adds: "If only these hard
headed soldiers of the provost
marshal's type had been given q
free hand in the Philippines the
task Of subjugating the unfortunate
islanders would have been much
more simple"
1t is natural for this Britisher to
speak of subject people" and
"subjugation," but the point that
he makes in the Pekin example is
that here is an enormous portion
of the city policed by single
company of infantry and a few
mounted men and carrying on its
local life without disturbance. II
is simply Pekin in the ordinary
garb of peace, minus its variegated
SMELLS" while the opposite side OF
the street, where the Germans rule
is almost deserted.
General Chaftee has rot been
concerned with setting up gov.
ernment. He is SIMPLY keeping
the peace and leaving the natives
to govern themselves in their own
way. If the Chinese could be
trustee thus, where the American
troops had no claim of lawful
authority, the Filipinos might
have been allowed some little sug-
gestion of liberty. What we have
Tied in the Philippines is not the
American but the German mill.

FAILED TO QUALIFY.

About two weeks ago Lee STRAIT
ton, the gentleman elected as dis
trict attorney of Graham county,
went TO Texas. He did not quail
fly before leaving and it seems fato
must have been against him, for he
was unable to do so on his return.
For two or three days before the
end of the year the Republicans of
Solomonville began casting anx-
ious glances toward Bowie, then
they began sending kilograms but
could not locate Mr.. Stratton and
few minutes before the board adj
iourned when it seemed all hope
was gone, Republican headquarters
resembled mad house. The only
conclusion that could be arrived at
offering any solution ofthe mystery
was that the unfeeling democrats
had kidnapped Mr.. Stratton. In
order TO prepare for any emergency
that might arise Messrs. Waddill
and Matthews were approached
just before adjournment and asked
to authorize Mr.. Day to approve
the bond at any time before II
O'Clock. This, we understand, was
not done. The bond was signed
by the sureties, DR.. Platt and John
Evans on Dee. 3lst and was pre-.
sentcd to Mr.. Day just before IL
o'clock at night, but as Mr.. Strat
ton had not yet arrived the chair
man could not approve it.
The Republicans have now "got
their backs up" at Mr.. Stratton foi
not getting here in time, and moth
ing was left undone to get him
here. The telegraph wires were
kept hot for several days anC
when he arrived in Bowie on The
last day of grace, his train was Sc
late that the valley train had gone
When Charley Solomon learned o
this he sent team to Bowie to ge
Mr.. Stratton, with instructions "tc
get back before II o'clock" Mr.
Stratton arrived all right, but 1t
was two hours late.
| When the new board met or
Wednesday no one appeared be
fore them to assume the duties o
| the Office.
As a consequence, under the law
| Wiley +. Jones was compelled t.
continue as district attorney ant
| will continue to do so until hi
successor is qualified. Most attor
neys agree that there is no hope
for Mr.. Stratton as he has forfcite,
all his rights to the office.
Since the above was put in typ
it is learned that the Board decid
cd to accept bond from Nh
} Stratton and then Mr.. Jones ol
, learning this, put in his resigna
tion.
