The lawyer rose from his seat and
his window into the narrow court in the
rear of the building.
ITS Just possible that something may
be DONE he said at last, but it'll cost
q great deal of money. and everyone con
cerned will have to take pretty stir
chances"
''Chances." exclaimed the woman i'm
petuously. What are chances to a wo-
man who has been taking them all her
life? Amt / taking chances marrying
another man and him still alive. even ii
he is behind bars? If was to get him
out tomorrow, what do you think he'd do
when he found out I'd got married while
he was put away? tell you Merwin. I
can't take any sitter chances than / do
in trying to get him out
The earnestness of the womans plead
ing made some impression on the heart
of the cynical dried-up old attorney, for
after a moments thought he said:
Come around again in about six weeks.

Meanwhile l shall look in the papers for
your marriage notice.
You'll ind it there next Saturday."
she said as she went out.
On her second visit she drew the glove
from her left hand and mutely directed
the lawyers attention to the plain gold
band which encircled the third finger.
What did you do with the old one?"
asked Merwin, as he fumbled with the
combination lock on his rusty iron safe.
As you've no further use for it, why
don't you give it to some poor woman who
hasn't got any"
'If didn't think I'd have some further
use for that first little old ring wouldn't
be taking all this trouble" she replied
simply, and then added. as if speaking
to herself, Il wonder IL BertieU ever
know how this one hurts and burns into
me when l get to thinking about him!"
BY this time the lawyer had found the
letter he was looking for 1t was writ
ten in German, on thin. greasy paper and
the old mans lips moved as he half ar
tcnlated the words while he read it from
beginning to end. Then crossing to where
she sat, he said:
There's just one way this thing can
be done. and that is to grease the path
from his cell to the outside gate. There
are seven men on that route who'll have

but certain death
= He accepted the penalty vi, stole phil
csophy as part of the portion OF criminal
labor and asked only that he might be
allowed to write one letter to his wife
beyond the seas before taking his place
behind The gray stone walls.
/. Wretched as he was. penniless and
Sriendless in strange land, nc knew
that there was one heart which had not
altogether hardened against him. one
woman, thousands of miles away, who
woeid not turn a deaf ear to his cry for
aid
For "Dogcart' BERTHE, now entering
upon the slow term of living death, had
been known in his day TO the police and
criminal fraternity OF his native America
as one of The most skiIl:uI, nervy ard
polished men who ever lent the luster of
absolute genius &c ;he learned profession
of bank burglary
- Ten years before our story opens. at
a time when his pockets were bulging
with the proceeds of three OF the great
est robberies of the age. he had fallen
head and ears In love With the barmaid
of the Liverpool hotel in which he had
found temporary seaiusion.
The young woman had previously been
NOTED, not alone for her beauty and
charm OF manner, but for her cold indif-
ference TO her many suitors.
} She surrendered now, however. after a
brief but ardent wooing, because. as she
said TO the friend of her own sex who
stood up with her at the wedding, she was

canism which she had probably caught
from her lover.

ing men OF the American bar. Although
the War Department requires very large
part of his time. he has not neglected
keeping up with the legal problems Of
the day since he came to the Cabinet,
and is often found studying the intricate
points of important cases. Secretary Root
also enjoys golf. but does not get much
time for the game. and in match for
the Cabinet championship would probably
be beaten by the Attorney General
Secretary Hitchcock Society Man.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock Is
the real society man of the Cabinet. He
pays more attention to dress than any
other member. and gets more real pleas
ure and recreation out of the small things
in life. He is always dignified and state
ly in bearing. however, which is due to
his service as Ambassador at the Russian
court

/ For variations Of dispositions and char

almost record-breaker. This is particu-
larly noticeable in the recreation CT the
various members. Environment has quite
as much to do with 2 mans selection of
hobbies and pleasure as it has with his
choice of permanent occupation.
II The leisure hours of the members of the
present Cabinet cover wide range of ac-

Postmaster General Henry C. Payne is
the born politician of the Cabinet With
him politics is the beginning and the end,
his business and recreation The United
States to him constitutes chess board of
politics, and his great delight is to plan,
make moves and checkmate the kings of
the opposition party. Mr.. Payne seldom
INDUCES in outdoor exercises. but he is
very fond of the theater, and he never
fails to see leading attraction presented
in town.
Secretary Root Horseman
Secretary OF War Root takes his exer-
else on horseback. and is frequently seen
in company with the President galloping
over the country roads. He, too, is very
fond of literature, and passes many an odd
with his books. Mr.. Root is
lawyer by profession, and one of the lead

in Paris. London, Vienna, and Berlin
where Dogcart Bertie co1trived to pull
off, number of good things with a clev-
erness that completely baffcd the police
in those cities. But like nearly every
great criminal he spent his stealings al
most as fast as he gathered them, and
in the course of time the evil days came
upon him. and finally an unusually long
run of bad luck at the gambling table
and an extraordinary aleriness <1 the
part OF jewelers. and bank officers brought
him face 20 face with the problem of ex-
istence in its most serious aspects.
1t was about this time that another
woman crossed his path-when poverty
comes in the door, loves flies out of the
window-and pu. an end to his domestic
happiness.
His wife. who had been true and faith
full to him through all, after the fashion
stuck on a man for keeps" left him after
quarrel that was as bitter as indiffer-
enee on his part and outraged love and
confidence on hers could make it, and came
to America.
Her husband remained with his new
love until he grew tired OF her and then
went away 10 tempt fortune in some OF
the smaller Continental towns.
But fortune smiled on him no MORE and
within three years this once famous crook,
whose smart attire and luxurious habits
OF life mad gained for him his pseudonym,
found himself in the dock before a merci-
less Belgium Judge with fifteen years of
penal servitude staring him In the face.
Then it was that he PLAYED his last
card. and made touching pitiful appeal
to the woman who. he knew, still loved
him. He confessed his fault and threw
himsef, helpless. penniless and raeked
with disease, upon her mercy.
He knew when he sealed and dispatched
his letter. that 1t would not be in vain.
and 1t was with this hope in his heart
that he entered upon his long term of
bitter suffering.

of the noble animal as any professional
buyer. He has the finest stable of any
man in official life in Washington and
none of his stock is without a long pedi-
gree.
Mr.. Knox takes his outdoor exercise
largely in golf and is frequently seen putt
ing and slicing on the Chevy Chase links.
Since coming to Washington he has taken
his indoor exercise at playing pool. He
is almost an enthusiast at the game, has
a table at his residence and so well does
he play that his friends insist that he
sleeps in the billiard room.
Secretary Wilson's Hobby.
Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultural
Department, is known by his intimate
friends as the Grand Old Man of the Cab
met Always genial, affable and ap-
proachable he is delightful friend and
acquaintance and one never leaves his
presence without thinking better of man
kind. Mr.. Wilson's hobby is in line with
his vocation at the head of the farmers
department of the Government. His bus
iness and his pleasure is farming His
one great delight is to drive into the
country among the farmers and to get
down to first principles, discuss crops,
the weather and seeds.
