'I am hunting a needle in a
haystack,' he announced. "HOw-
ever, since l am paid for the job,
/ have no reason to complain. In
plain United States, l am seeking
the heir to an English baronetcy
and an estate OF 5000 pounds a
year, or thereahOuts. Sir Gilbert
st. John and his two sons were
drowned on their yatch in the
Aegean sea, some months ago,
and the next heir is the son of a
younger brother of Sir Gilbert.
The yOung man came to Manitoba
five years ago, cattle-ranchlng.
He isn't there now; failed in the
three years. drOugh in the trans
Mississippi, and disappeared.
However 1 mean to trace him,
alive or dead. My only fear is
that 1 shall find too many of him."
1t took all the perfect self-cOn-
troll upon which Ethel Bradley
prided herself, to keep her voice
steady and Indifferent as she ask
ed, ''What is the y.ung mans
namNf"
"HugO Edmond st. John. l
advertised for him, of course, in
the New York Herald"
Miss Bradley held her peace, she
never knew why; but the next
morning she rose early, went out
before breakfast, bought a paper,
and, marking the personal for Hu,
go Edmond st. John, mailed it to
Ned Hughes.
It was no surprise to her when
a day later Mr.. Bradley informed
his family that the cOachman was
to leave on short notice. To her
instructed sense it seemed, how
ever, that he showed less regret at
the loss than might have been ex
pected.
"Hughes has come into some
property at home, and wants to 60
back to the old country. We shall
never fill his place as well, but of
course it is a good thing for him.
l offered to lend him money for
the journey, but he says he has all
he needs. told him that think
be ought to go at once"
For reasons Of her own, which
no one surpected, Miss Bradley
took care to be out of the way
when Huges came in to pay his
respects to Mrs. Bradley before
leaving. She alone, Of all the
family, had nothing to say about
his departure, and she had sur
prising patience with his inefii-
cient successors. But for weeks
Miss Bradley was indifferent to
most things, listless and restless
by turns, and nervous to a degree

which worried her mother, who
insisted that the season had been
too much for Ethel, and took her
off to Florida, in spite of her pro-
testatiOns that the remedy was
worse than the disease.
Ethe Bradley scarcely knew
wether to be pleased or not, when
her father announced, suddenly,
that he would sail for Southamp-
ton the next week and would take
her with him. Miss Bradley &
most intimate friend had married
into the British aristOcracy. Ever
since she had been longing that
Ethel would do likewise, and an
urgent invitation to a visit to Lon
don in the season had recently ar
rived.
As a beauty and an heiress,
Miss Bradley's social success in
London was fOregOne conclusion;
invitations poured in upon her,
and she found herself in the midst
Of things.
"Of course" Lady Norman de-
elared, "Harry and 1 could float
anybody, but yOu," and she smiled
apprOvingly, ''yOu could swim by
yourself"
1t was one of the first functions
which Miss Bradley attended that
her hostess came to her followed
by a tall figure, familiar, in spite
of the change made by evening
dress and recently acquired
mustOche.
"Miss Bradley, allow me to pre-.
sent Sir Hugo st John. Sir Hugo
spent several years in America
and has a great admiration for
your charming cOuntrywOmen.' .
And Miss Bradley found herself
looking once more into Ned
Huges' clear eyes.
She kept her self possession
bravely and uttered the usual DO.
lite cOmmOnplaces.
Sir Hugo seemed scarcely to
hear them, and the hostess had
barely turned her back when he
interrupted.
"Miss Bradley, / had booked
my passage to the States, when /
learned that you and your father
we're here, which makes the
voyage unnecessary"
It is one OF Mr.. Bradley's ia
vorite jokes that his fastidiOus
daughter Ethel married her ia
ther's cOachman, bnt, since the
joke is reserved for the bosom of
his family. Lady st. John resents
it much less than her mother does.

GARDENER THE NEXT
HE WILL PROBABLY FACE A
 COURT MARTIAL.
Army Hen Incensed Over His Now Famous Report on Conditions in Tayabas Ryovinces-He
 Has Friends.

Washington, May s.-(Special)--MaJor Cornelius Gardener will be the next of- flcer to be tried by court martial in the Philippines. He is the officer whose re- port caused the Senate to wrangle all of last week when the Democrats want ed to cable for him to come to Washing ton to testify before the Senate Commit tee which is investigating the Philippine warfare and the Republicans do not want him to come He is a civil governor of Tayabas. Luzon.
 1t is understood that the administration is overloaded with anger at the charges made by Gardener in the famous report which the Secretary of War suppressed for months. They are asserting now that Gardener cannot substantiate the charges which brand the American army work in the Philippines as cutrageously cruel and inhuman. Nevertheless Major Gardeners 8 friends declare that their knowledge of the man convinces them that he truthful ly described conditions in Tayabas. and Democrats say they would not me sur prfsed should the army in which Major Gardener belongs, attempt to prosecute him.
 The belief prevails at the department that General Jacob Smith has been aac- quilted. President Roosevelt proposes to personally review the findings of the court and if they are not in accordance with the evidence. he will set them aside. But he cannot order a. new court martial nor adjudge any punishment in case of the acquittal of the. accused officer. Miit Saul,

The National Magazine for May.

The May National presents a compara- tive study of the three rival routes offered for the trans-isthmian canal. The Nica- rag guan and Panama routes are found to be passable only to steamships; owing to the necessary locks and dams in these routes, sailing vessels could not afford to pay the canal charges. This means that the large items of American cheap freight-iumber. coal and grain, would still have either to pay the larger charges of steamships. or continue to go around the Horn in sailing vessels. By the Darien route short, straight, free Of locks and dams. at sea level, and equip ped with electric trolley towage for ships of all kinds. the sailing vessel with its bulky cheap freight could pay and pass. The same sea level. lock free. straight line qualities would enable the Darien- Mandingo canal to pass ten times as many ships each day as could pass either the Panama or Nicaraguan routes. Lead ing engineers say the cutting of the seven-mile tunnel through the mountains on the Darien-Mandingo route is less of a job than will confront the builders of either of the othAr routes It is not cer- tain that the government will permit private capital to build and control ST isthmian canal; but it does appear sure that when the superior merits of the tun- mel route become generally known. the people will net permit either of the other routes to be adopted

 Champ Clark of Missouri astounded the House of Representatives a few days ago by appearing in a dove-colored frock suit like those occasionally worn by hand some young men in shows of the "Floro- dora" kind. To an inquiry from an amazed member. he replied :'Oh. l have to wear something. and 1t might as well be this.' The costume was not success and has disappeared again.
 In Washington they are telling of q Congressman from rural Wisconsin who until his arrival in the national capital had never stopped at a big hotel. The other evening just before retiring he wanted d. drink of water, but found that there was none in the room. Under one of two small buttons in the wall he saw the words Push twice for water" He pushed twice as directed and when the beilboy arrived with the water he found the bucolic statesman holding an empty glass under the button.

 to Be Gaining Ground.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 5.-After a two hours discussion of the question of the admission of colored women into the women's clubs, the anti-colored women won the day when the convention voted overwhelmingly to accept what is known as the compromise amendment agreed upon in New York several weeks ago.
 This morning there was suppressed ex- citement during the consideration Of the charter and when Mrs. A, O. Granger, President of the Georgia Federation, moved that Sections and of Article II, parts of the proposed amendment. be considered first, every one knew the bat tie was on.
 Mrs. Lowe retired from the chair tenn porarily, giving Mrs. Dennison another opportunity to preside. Section ?, which was considered and finally adopted, reads:
