Mr.. Crumpackcr today announced his
inability to 90 South, at tile same time
expressing considerable regret at the in.
terruption to his plans. He had arranged
everything so as to leave here next Sun
day night with the party and had made
up his mind to thoroughly enjoy the pro-
verbal hospitality of the South
I can hardly say how very disappoint-
ed I am he explained. Il had prepared
myself to enjoy the trip to its fullest OK
tent. both the hospitality know the
party will meet with and the opportunity
to see things in the South for myself
Nothing but absolute necessity could
make me forego the trip
, Notwithstanding Mr.. Crumpackers abb
sence from the party, the trip Of the 9TH

and daughters will be full of Significance
for the South. or course the Southern
Congressman were especially DESTROYS to
have Crumpacker go along to see the ne

May Transfer Hobson.

Captain Richmond p. EIobson was at
the Capitol today to interview members
of the Naval Committee on the subject Of
his retirement by Congress, He discov-
cred a decided Discrimination for his re-
tirement but several OF the committee
men suggested that they would be will
ing to recommend bill transferring him
to the regular naval corps from the con-
struction corps This Captain Hohson
looks upon with disfsvor, as he believes
the officers of the regular corps do not
want him with his increased rank over
them. Should the committee report a
bill favoring the transfer, 1t would put
Captain Hobson in line for another pro-
motion. and it is very likely he would get
1t soon. He may take 1t instead of the
proposed retirement.

Having finished the air. Darrell smil-
ingly passed the pen to Ladslov, a pro-
ceedlng not unsafe, for the cap closed
and opened by means of spring not
easily discovered. Incident to this
mechanism there were two perfora-
tions of the outer shell, which might
seem to connect with the inner parts,
though they did not.
That's where you blow" said Oar
rell, pointing to the holes, while Cor
don controlled his countenance with
considerable difficulty.
Ladislov fumbled with the pen, and
he became red with wrath.
"a clever trick" he said in a very un-
pleasant voice, IAN accomplishment Of
the vaudeville"
II do not like your tone, SIR" said
Darrell calmly as he extended his hand
for the pen.
And do not like your American
jokes" replied Ladislov, rising.
Among gentlemen there are certain
views about lying
Gordon expected to See Ladislov's
body go flying over the table behind
him, for he knew Darrell Of old as
man exceedingly prompt In such mat
ters. But Darrell merely put the pen
into his pocket as II he had heard moth
ing offensive, and, leaning back In his
chair, he regarded Ladislov with an
agreeable smile.
"You should not permit yourself to
become excited" he said. 81 have been

And he struggled clumsily with his

Getchlkoff suddenly by the arm, he led
him away among the tables and into
the cafe beyond. Ten minutes after

Arising unsteadi1y, he approached their
table with extended hand.
Darrell slowly raised his eyes, with a
glance of mild curiosity quite charac-
terlstic of him. He had the face of n
student and "A gently questioning man
ner. He seemed person of lesurely
and safe conclusions and one who took
a very serious view of all things great
or small. In reality his manner was a
mask and the man behind ii n BORN
Jester. He was enjoying at that mo-
ment the drunken dignity of the pom
derous, yellow bearded Russian, copy
that should set a dinner party of good
fellows roaring. But no man could
have guessed IL.
He greeted Getchikoff with gravity
and introduced Gordon, with the result
that the swarthy and formidable indl-
vidual hitherto called "the pirate" was
summoned and presented. 1t appeared
that he was captain and that his
patronymic was Ladislov. He spoke
French like one long accustomed to its
use, and the conversation offered no
linguistic difficulties. 1t had, indeed,
scarcely begun when Getchikoff sud
denly spied n stylographic pen in Oar
reu's walstcoat pocket and requested
permission to use it. The pen was
very large one, and a good three
inches Of it protruded from the pocket,
so that 1t was quite conspicuous as
Darrell sat there with his coat thrown
open.
Penn cried Darrell, annoyed by the
incident and determined to save Getchi-
koff from folly if possible or at least
to avoid assisting him in the commits
sion of IT, THAT isn't n pen; it's q
musical instrument"
And he put 1t to his lips as one holds
n flute. Getchikoff, whose wits were
by no means clear, seemed to credit
this fiction without question. Indeed,
as Darrell knew, he was n man who
would believe anything of an Ameri-
can, even to the eccentricity of car
rying little flute In a waistcoat pock-
ct.
at is much used in my country" said
Darrell politely. "You might almost
call it the national instrument"
81 never saw one before" replied
Getchikoff, with perfect seriousness,
and the Jest was in fair way to pass
successfully when Ladislov, leaning
upon the table and looking keenly at
Darrell, said:
II would give much to hear you play
upon It,"
Gordon glanced at Ladislov in sur.
prise, being still convinced that the
man had sought to dissuade Getchikoff
from drawing n check. In fact, he had
distinctly heard him speak against that
course.
"Would you" said Darrell redden.
ing at this obvious attempt to put him
in a difficulty. "Then you shall be
gratified."
And softly, but with n clear and very
agreeable tone. he played Hail. Co
lumbar in manner that was a per-
feet Illusion. 1t was n trick that Oar
rell had learned long ago, in college
days, when his repertory of limitations
had included many instruments. Cor.
don, to whom the performance had
been familiar in those old i.Hes, could

neck.
The woman had large and dark eyes,
with such n warm touch of hazel in
them that it was visible even in SO
bad light. Her face was well model
ed, strong and full of meaning, the
brows clean cut, the lips rather full
and deep tinted, the nostrils delicate
and trcmulous, as one sees them best
among the Greeks. But, upon the
whole, the countenance impressed Oar
rell as that of lady Of his own land,
and he was greatly surprised to be ad-
dressed in Russian, a language of
which he had n fair command.
"a long way in the snow" said she
and paused, eying him intently.
The words could have no possible
relevancy, considering the season and
the surroundings.
"In the snow?" repeated Darrell. II
am afraid that l do not understand"
"You are not Russian" she said in
French. "Why have you done thisY"
81 don't clearly know what l have
done" he replied. 81 saw some horses
running away, as l supposed, and
heard a woman's voice that seemed to
call for help, so l stopped the horses,
and then the coachman hit me on the
head with his whip. So pitched him
off his seat, and then the horses ran
away, and here we are"

And they ran, Darrell taking the
girls left arm in his hand as best he
could-for she was wrapped in a long
cloak-and helping her to make good
speed.
They turned at once into n darker
street and from that into another and
then into a third until Darrell had lost
even his notion of the points of the
compass

girl at last, ard she leaned upon Oar
rcll almost fainting.

Next to the difficulty of comprehend

that Of understanding how one looks in
the woods. Your ideas are /. :cessarily
taken from pictures or from stuffed
deer or tame ones in a park. You are
almost certain to be looking for deer,
whereas you might better be looking
for anything else. In the woods you
seldom see half of a deer and generally
much less. often only part of the
shoulder, or only an ear over log or
leg der it, bit of rump projecting
from q bush or head and bit of the
neck reaching up for leaves. The al
