ooh, so Mr.. Crosmont says his lord
ship is hard?"
There was quite a chorus of assent
| to this, and more lamentation over the
deterioration in Lady Kildonan. At
| last the small voice of the eldest child
a thin-faced thoughtful girl of sixteen
uttered !" very suggestive remark.
Mother, do we mind t'other time her
adyship was so hard and excited-like

to Liverpool, just seame as today? And
three days after she met me quite
Gained down and different-like, and
said she was orry she'd betten been
bit vexed. Maybe she'll be sorry
again in day or two"
Armathwaite was good deal struck
by these words, and when he had left
the inn with its occupants somewhat
comforted, he turned them over in his
mind, and decided to note carefully
the symptoms to which they pointed.
In the meantime the moment had come
when he must boldly invite the con-
fidence of DR.. Peele. He generally
saw the doctor twice day; for half
an hour in the morning, before he
started to visit the patients, and for
an hour in the evening, after dinner
when the days work was done 1t
was with loudly-bea ting heart and
sense that he was on the threshold of a
chamber Of mysteries that the yonug
man, at half-past seven that evening,
knocked as usual at the door of the old
doctors room. He felt little doubt
but that the discoveries he had made
for himself concerning the two house
holds would seem to the cider man
important enough to entitle him TO the
fuller knowledge which was necessary
to his purpose Of saving Alma Be

tone. And then came doubts as to the |
secret of The Crags; SO that when, in |

entered the room and closed the door, |
the young man was so deeply Cypress
ed by anxiety and sense of gloomy

CHAPTER XVII.

1t seemed as il DR.. Peele had some
evening visit of his young colleague
was of deeper import than usual After
one glance at Armathwaite's face he
turned his own away from the lamp
light, and began his accustomed ques
tons about the days work in a hur
ried and nervous manner. In the
course of his answers, the young man
did not fail to dwell particularly upon
his visit to the Blakes, his meeting
with Lady Kildonan at their door. and
to emphasize all such details as seem
ed to bear upon the mystery he was so
anxious to solve When he came to
the end of his account there was a
pause, which the old doctor soon
broke by saving that he felt tired and
sleepy, and that he would net detain
Frank if the latter had anything to do.
Armathwaite rose Immediately, quite
understanding that this was only an
excuse to get rid of him. and to avoid
his expected Importantly.

This is to be set aside beginning
March 1 and retained in the Venezua-
Ian treasury until The Hague tribunal
decides the question of preference.
Italy gains the immediate payment of
her first class claims without further
adjudication, as soon as the joint COM
mission at Caracas shall have passed

round numbers the adjudicated ItaI-
ian claims amount to $560,OOO. from
which will be substracted s27, 500, to

ture of the protocol. Italy also Sc
cured the insertion in the protocol OF
agreement that Venezuela will insert

umpire will be named by the president
of the United States 1t is provided
that not Venezuela alone, but all the
other creditor nations shall be permit
ted to appear with her before the trib-
unal in opposition to the allies for
preferential payment.

Predicts Western Invasion.
Chicago, Feb. 14.-At a banquet of
the Chicago Alumni of Michigan uni
versity last night President Angel
predicted that within a few years
there will be an invasion of American
universities by students from Europe.
ANGEL questioned if the wisdom of the
Rhodes requests would not have been
of greater utility had it been revised,
to permit the attendance of English
youth at American institutions. He
based his belief on the fact that none
of the sciences are taught at Oxford.

PROHIBITING GRANTING OF RE-
BATES TO SHIPPERS.
HOT TIME IN THE HOUSE
Mr.. Hepburn's Statement That With
Passing of EIkins' Measure Anti
Trust Legislation Would Cease
Branded Deliberate Lie" With
out Usual Sequel.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Under the
operation of a special order which cut
off the opportunity to offer amend
ments, the house after debate of an
hour yesterday by a vote of 241 to 6
passed the Elkins bill to prohibit re-
bates to shippers. The six members
who voted against the bill were dem
ocrats. Mr.. Littlefield of Maine was
present but did not vote on either the
rule or the bill. The democrats pro
tested against the rigorous terms of
the rule. 1t had been their purpose,
they said, to offer the provisions of the
Littlefield bill as an amendment.
Messrs. Dalzell (Penn), Overstreet
Qnd0, and Hepburn Iowa), praetic-
ally announced that with the passage
of the Elkins bill the antitrust legis-
lation for this session of congress
would be complete. During the debate
Mr. Cochran (dem., MOI, branded one
of Mr.. Hepburn's statements as a ode
liberate lie" Contrary to the usual
custom, this strong language had no
sequel. The remainder of the session
was devoted to the sundry evil service
appropriation bill, which was practically
completed, but no effort was made to
pass it, as there was no quorum pres
ent and notice was given that a record
vote would be demanded ON an amend
ment to increase an appropriation for
the site of a military post in lndianap-
oils.
The house adopted an amendment
