Woman Assassin.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-The police
project OF Moscow, NJ. Trepoff, had a
narrow escape from assassination yester-
day.
While receiving visitors, a governess
named Allart, suddenly drew a revolver,
placed its muzzle at the officials breast
and pulled the trigger. The weapon
missed fire.
In the subsequent excitement the
woman tried to escape but WAS arrested.
1t is believed that the attempt was con-
nected with the recent student troubles.

TENETS OF MASONRY
They Were Religiously Maintained
by George Washington.
Painting of First President, in Mn
sonic Garb, Has Just Heen Pre-
sentea 10 the Grand Lodge
of EnSInnd.

Although the portrait of George
Washington as mason, which Henry
S. Welcome has presented to othe grand
lodge of England ana which Ambassa-
dor Choate unveiled the other day, was
painted two years ago, II never has
been shown.
If this unique portrait of the first
president is not historically accurate
in every detail, it is the fault neither
of the American Free Mason, who
ordered, nor the American artist who
painted it. When Mr. Welcome de-
cided to have the picture made, he eX-
planned to Robert Gordon Hardie, the
artist, to whom he intrusted its exc
cution, that he wished him to spare no
pains to make the painting faithful
representation Of Gen. Washington as
he looked in masonic dress.
This proved, however, to be rather
difficult matter. 1t was by no means
easy to find out what sort of regalia
the first president used to wear. Only
one of his pictures showed him in ma
sonic dress, and that was an engraving
which proved to be Inaccurate in sew
eral ways. Mr.. Welcome, however,
who was determined to have his pic
ture, and equally resolved that it
should be exact, gave Mr.. HarGie carte
blanche to search the records of the
period and collect information from
any and every reliable source in Amer
lea, England and France.
The artist, on his side, spared no
pains in his search for trustworthy data.
He interviewed descendants of Wash
ington wherever they could be found,
from New York to Virginia, and this
part of his work was both prolonged
and expensive. 1t resulted, however,

ITO Be Continued
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Pat Helped His COmrade In a Pinch
and Was None the Worse
on for 1t.

An old soldier belonging to a we'll
known line regiment had gained the
unenyiable reputation of being known
as sting" or, in other words, one
who comfortably manages'to live on
another's pay, relates London Spare
Moments.
Pay day having come and gone,
things looked rather blue for him
when the time for opening the can
teen arrived. But not for long; he
soon espied his bed chum not far
away, and, calling him over, he en-
gagged him in conversation, finally per-
suading Paddy-a recruit, by the way
to sell pair of pants, saying it was
foolish to have more kit about one than
necessary.
Accordingly Pat went to his room,
and, providing himself with a new
pair of pants, returned and gave them
to the man, who forthwith proceeded
to dispose of them.
Needless to say, an enjoyable evening
followed, and on leaving the canteen
the sting" remarked:
you're a good boy, Pat, and Til
stand you drink some day in return"
Och you need not bother" said
Pat. "Sure, it's your own pants We
sould. | TUX them from your box"

in the discovery that the masonic re-
gala worn by Washington was pre-
sented to him by Nine. Lafayette. By
the titled French woman's instruc-
ticns, the regalia was sent to the first
president by the firm of Watson d
Cosson. of Nantes, France, and Wash
ington's letter to this house, acknowl-
edging the ornaments, is in the
possession of the librarian of the Ma
sonic hall n London. 1t was written
from New York in 11S2.
Accordingly, in painting his portrait
of Washington, Mr.. Hardie arrayed
the great American in the masonic re-
gala worn in France in his day. That
he was quite justified in doing so, doubts
have been expressed, but ii is generally
admitted that the likeness of Washing
toms portrait, which. until Mr.. Choate
unveiled it the other day, had never
been shown, is one of the best that
ever has been made OF the first presi-
dent. 1t is believed that, including the
expenses of the artist in collecting
material, the cost of the work was
about $4,000.
The ceremony of unveiling the paint
ing. in the library of the Freemason's
hall, was presided over by the earl of
Warwick, prominent English mason
In his speech, the earl recalled that
in the revolution Gen. Washington sev.

She nodded slowly. "I know. But
the motive isn't altogether avarice."
"What else could it be?"
She defined it in one word:
"Pique."
Griswold did not pretend to mis-
understand.
$50 | thought at first. But that
involves woman as well as a man;
from something which | learned to-
day ! am inclined to doubt the wom-
ans completely; to question whether
she knows anything about it."
But at this point Charlotte the
compassionate became Miss Farnham
the austere.
You may be very sure she knows
all about it. If she ever sets up a
crest-and even that won't be beyond
her-the motto for it will be Rule or
Ruin.'
Griswold was beginning to doubt
the advisability of any further con-
fdences in the Grierson field, but his
evil genius urged him to defend
Margery.
isn't that little uncharitable?" 2"
he ventured.
The tone was placable enough, as it
was meant to be, but Charlotte was
only a woman, and Griswold had
been very much in evidence with
Miss Grierson of late, on the high
swung trap and in the Grierson
steam-launch. So she said, rather
coldly: 81 may seem uncharitable to
you, and | am sorry | said it. But
we are wandering. You say you
know the remedy for your trouble
and Ned's. What is il? ?"
Now Griswold was not any braver
than other men when it came to fac
ing a woman piqued, but since she
had taken him unawares, he must
needs lose his head and say: at is
personal appeal to this young
woman whom you don't like"
The Raymers were rising to go,
she rose too, meeting his frank
avowal with toss of the superb
head.
"By all means make it," she ad-
vised, icily. You owe it Toto" .
"To Ned?" he suggested.
"Certainly not; to yourself"
And with that she turned away to
say good night to the others. That
was all, save that she did not give
her hand to Griswold at parting.

lifted his eyes to her face. But he
was equal to the emergency which
his slip had brought upon him.
You forget what you have just
been telling me-"

away from him, adding: "And-and

Greek Monks Ueiief

1t is a firm belief of the eastern
monks of the Greek church that God
will not allow a monastery to be
burned. When the Russian monas-
terry of st. Pantelemon, at Mount
Athos, was burned a few years ago,
the Greeks, who constitute the great
majority of the 5000 monks on the
peninsula, maintained that their Rus
sian brethren had brought the calam-
ity on themselves, because they had
fire engines and eNtinguishers, and
did not trust wholly in God. Now
the neighboring Greek monastery of
st. Paul, which had no fire engines,
has recently been utterly destroyed
by fire. 1T is said that the monas-
terry of St. Paul was the only one at
Mount Athos which has ever been
visited by a woman. The wife of n
British ambassador landed from her
yacht one day on its tiny pier and
insisted on entering the church. In
consequence the monks, relieving
each other by relays, for 10 days and
nights maintained continuous serv-

general principle. He could by no
means apply it to the particular per-
sonal instance.
That is nonsense, Martin, and you
know it. Whose money built the
plant?"
The man took time to think about
it, and as slow men oftea do. he
thought it over to some pusz,ose.
Il s'pose you could say that amt
for me to say, but I'm gois- to say
it. Mr.. Raymer got his mon,y from
the old man, and we, and others like
us, helped him earn it. / dunno who

Griswold. Maybe you earned it all

At this Griswold flew into pas.
sion, there being no other retort for
such a thrust.
You don't know what you're talk,
ing about" he snapped. 'Let me
pass"
The man stood aside respectfully
enough, and the master crossed the
street to the iron works side of it.
An arc light swinging from its wire
in front of the foundry building flung
black shadows beneath the trees at
the curb line, and for aught a pass
er-by might see, street and plant
were alike deserted. But the quietude
was only seeming. As Griswold
crossed the roadway, there was a
binding flash of white light which
seemed to have its focusing point
under tree which shaded the small
detached office building. The flash
was but momentary, but it served to
reveal knot of men in various atti-
tudes of expectancy at the corner of
the office. y glimpse was all Girls
void had, and it was followed instant
ly by a yell of fury, the din and
clamor of fray, and knot of ours
ing, struggling men broke out of the
tree-shadow. Griswold flung himself
promptly into the thick of it, seeing
nothing but that a dozen infuriated
men were assaulting one.
For shame!" he cried, shoulderine
his way into the group. stop it and
let him go, or I'll prosecute the last
one of you in the courts!"
The melee quieted down, but two
of the men kept fast hold of their
prisoner. Griswold looked again, and
when he recognized the captive, had
curious little shock of surprise.
The pinioned man was no other than
the man whom he had taken from the
island in the "Sprite," whose good
cigar he had smoked in the lobby of
the hotel, and whose occupation and
business in Wahaska he had by no
means been able to guess until Char
lotte had enlightened him.
There was moment of silence of
the portentous kind, and then the
leader of the workmen spoke for all.
you go away, Mr.. Griswold. This
amt no funeral o yours, and it'll be
heap better all round if you don't
tend it."
But Griswold made no move to go
away. "Not step till you release
that man"

CHAPTER XIV.

In after time Griswold could never
satisfactorily account for the inn
pulse which sent him to wander aim
lessly through the deserted streets
of the town after leaving DR.. Farm
hams and parting from the other
dinner guests.
But this night the thought of Mrs.
Holcomb's and the quiet room was
curiously repugnant, and so he
roamed, like any vagrant, far and
wide, drifting at length to the rail-
way crossing and beyond, and com
ing to some sense of the actualities
only when he found himself in the
neighborhood of the iron works.
At this he would have turned back.
Since the closing of the works the
plant had been guarded nightly;
first by the inner circle of deputies,
and later by an outer Gordon of the
striking workmen. This outer guard
had latterly been maintained in re-
liefs and made continuous, ostensibly
to show the good will of the strik-
ers and their readiness to protect
the property; but really, as Girls
void knew, to forestall any move on
the part of himself and Raymer to
supply the places of the men with
imported labor.
1t was chance collision with this
outer guard that brought Griswold
alive to the actualities. Two men
stepped out of the shadow of a tree
and halted him. But at the word
one of them recognized him.
"Oh, it's you, Mr.. Griswold. Beg
pardon, sir, but you see we have to
be sort o careful"
Griswold's smile was openly cyni-
cal. "Gour carefulness is a good
bit overdue, Martin. 1t should have
begun before you made this sense
less strike
Now the man Martin was in some
sort a leader among the discomfort
ed workmen, and he asked nothing
better than chance to argue the
point with one of the bosses.
"There's two sides to that. Mr..
Griswold, and you hain't seen but
one. You don't know what it means
to earn your bread from day to day
like we do"
"Don't II" said Griswold, smiling
again, this time without the Gym
icism. perhaps l don't, and again,
perhaps | do. You're an older man
than l am, Martin, but I'll venture to
say that I've gone lacking more
meals in a year than you have in
your whole lifetime"
The man was silenced for n mo-
ment, but presently found tongue
again.
"Then what makes You so tarna-
ton hard on us fellows?" he de-
manded. "If you've known what
bare cupboard means for yourself,
| sh'd think you could put yourself
in a workin'man's place"
Il can and do; and 50 does Ray
mer. But you won't believe anything
we say, and that settles it."
1T hain't come to anything like
settlement yet" remarked the man,
sullenly.

"How can you aski Is it so light a
| thing to help ever so little to set
snare for the poor fellow!"
Griswold's laugh was almost harsh.
81 shouldn't waste any sympathy on
him if | were you. He is a hardened
criminal, by his own admission to
you"
mo, he was not that" she said,
| quickly. 81 understood him better
than that-better than | have made
you understand him. lie was not a
hardened criminal"
Griswold's blood, which had been
slowly turning to ice in his veins, be-
gan to thaw out again at that.
"Then you don't condemn him ut
| terly? You are willing to admit that
| his own conscience may have acquit-
ted him?"
81 am very sure that it did; or,
at least. | am sure that his own
point of view was so obscured by
what he had suffered that he could
not rightly see the guilt of the thing
he had done"
"But you saw the guilt of it?"
"How could | help seeing it?"
"True. There is no excuse for
him."
81 shouldn't say that. There may
be many excuses for him"
"But no Justification" He tried
hard to make the saying of it an
so well that she did not remark the
note of despairing eagerness.
"Certainly not. Nothing could JUS
tify such deed of lawlessness."
1t was as he had prefigured. Her
womanly pity had in it the quality
of mercy. 1t went out toward the
lawbreaker as the divine compassion
enfolds even the impenitent sinner.
But her conscience arraigned and
condemned him.
He bowed his head and went dumb
before the woman who had judged
him; but when he would have
changed the subject he found it
mightier than his will to break away
from it.
'Your verdict is doubtless that OF
the world" he said. "And from
what you tell me l fancy the end
is in sight"
ooh! Do you think SOP" she
quavered, and her voice, and the
tears in it. were of womanly incon-
sistency.

gasp. "And it was l who seS the

Then it was Griswold forgot his
peril and turned comforter. "You
mustn't grieve about it," he said,
gently. "You have done no more
than your plain duty. lie made you
do it in the first instance; he would
have made you do it in the second
if he could have known the circum-
stances"
She turned upon him quickly and
he dared not look into her eyes.
"How do you know he did that?''
she queried; and though he would
not trust himself to look, he felt all
that he might have seen if he had
