Perhaps it is lie. Let us hope so.
John"
For moments no word was fpoken.
John Burt stood by an opened win
dow, with his back to his friend, and
gazed out into the darkness.
Tell me about IL, Jim,' he said,
breaking the silence.
Blake related the details OF his in
PRODUCTION to Arthur Morris and told
of the night spent in the latter's apart
ment. He repeated the conversation
as nearly as he could recall it.
John abruptly changed the subject
and questioned Blake about his inter
view with Peter Burt, and smiled
quietly wnen he related his expert
ence with the old man. He was not
displeased that Blake had been forced
to reveal his secret.
Il have anticipated his advice about
going to New York" said John. My
plans are made, and If you are will
ing. we will make New York the fu-
ture headquarters of James Blake &
Company. with the San Francisco es-
tablishment a branch house. Think 1t
over. Jim, and let me know your de-
cision as soon as possible"
I've thought 1t over" said Blake.
I'm ready to go to New York the
minute you say So
Very well. well go this month"
said John Burt.
1t was long past midnight when
Plake drove away and left John Burt
to the narrowing society or his
thoughts. For hours he sat before the
rortrait of Jessie Garden. He recalled
the day when she had laughingly
placed the cherished tintype in his
nand. And now she was in Paris, by
the grace and under the bounty OF
Arthur Morris-the one man in all
the world he hated.
..It's a lie-an infamous, damnable
lie," he repeated as he paced up and
down the room. 1T is not so-it shall
not be so."
But the black clouds Of doubt again
obscured the rift made by vehement
hope. What reason had he to doubt
the statement made by Morris? Had
not Morris wealth, influence, social
standing? Was not Jessie under obli-
cations to him?
And what Of Jessie? What vaiid'
lasting claim had he on Jessie car
den? A few words spoken under the
stress of great excitement, promise

wrote a long letter informing her of

hands. The letter read as II their last

Morris waited a month for an an

and then wrote check for the

Six weeks later Arthur Morris was
in Berlin. He had perfected his plans.
and after securing apartments in
Leipziger Strasse set about their exc
cutiun.
He was 10 shrewd to announce his
arrival by a letter to Jessie. having
good reason TO suspect that 1t would
meet the same reception as ha1 the
Others. He retained a capable valet
and commissioned him to obtain in
formation concerning Miss Gardens
daily and weekly routine.
ID rained the following day and Nor
ris' valet brought word that Miss Car
den would not venture out in the
storm. His master was pleased to
learn that Miss Garden was in the
habit Of going out alone. and that II
the weather permitted. she proposed
to visit Count Raczynski's gallery on
the morrow.
The famous Raczynski gallery is on
the Exercierplatz. outside the Bracen.
burg gate and contains a splendid col
lection of modern German paintings.
The day dawned bright and warm
after the storm. and Morris was In
fne spirits when he stepped into his
carriage and rode down the avenue.
He entered the gallery and roamed
through the halls to make sure Jessie
lad not arrived. He then stood near
the entrance and waited.
His patience was rewarded. He
recognized Jessie as she crossed the
street. She was alone, and Morris
stepped into the dark OF the vestibule
and followed when she entered the
main hall Jessie carried a sketch
book under her arm. and took seat
opposite one Of Schinkel's master
works. Opening the book, she pro-
eeeded TO work on an unfinished
sketch.

Is doing in the

American women in London sent as

Nome, Alaska. One of its founders and
chief members is the Alaskan commits

Hart. There We're also delegates, one
each, from Mexico and Hawaii. Thus
1T appears that the woman's club idea.
a distinctly American one, has been
tolerably well planted throughout the
world.
Altogether there are S66 clubs in the
general federation. The whole num-
Der of delegates and alternates at the
meeting was 1,243. OF these S97 We're

as is usual in the national political con-
vention. Each state had It's name and
banner fixed aloft where all might
see. Admission to delegates was by
ticket and badge. So far the man OF
it. But no haze or odor Of stale to-
bacco smoke foated on the ambient air
of that convention hall. The usherS
who led the delegates to their seats and
kept out those who had no claim to
admission were beautiful. refined young
st. Louis girls dressed in shining white,
and this was the woman of it. No,
come to think. that assembling of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
could not have been mistaken for a
mans political convention.
There are now half a million club
women in America. A comparison of
the proceedings at their earlier fedora
ton meetings with those at the last
one shows that the mental growth of
clubwomen in twelve years has been
equal to their numerical growth. In
