She ran lightly to the telephone, her
acting thing of perfection. With pal
pitating heart and quivering knees, she
took the receiver from the hook and
asked for number.

engagingly. Then, after a few prelim-

was silent for a space, listening, her
bosom heaving with suppressed ex-
citement.
Wooster stood with his hand on the
table, his face exceedingly pale. His
gaze was apparently fixed on the floor.
The Major had halted, on his way to ring
the bell. He twisted his long mustache
I fercely.
''Yes-yes," said Aileen at the phone.
DO come and see me as soon as you
return-do. But | called you UP to
get you to make an announcement for
me-the announcement of my engage
ment to-Mr. Nelson Wooster-Nelson
What's that?-hello! Yes. Mr. Nelson
Wooster-you know Yes Oh, thank

For moment Major Van Twiller
stared at Wooster ferociously In aston
ishment himself, Nelson looked up and
caught his glance.
They heard the click as Aileen hung
up the receiver. She hesitated for
second, in which to nerve herself anew.
Then she turned about, all smiles and
radiance, and came running toward her
father. "There, daddy-there!" she
cried. 'tThat's news, and you'll like it,
| know. And now-we want your
blessing!"
The Major made a spasmodic effort to
control himself; but his rage, at this sud-
den and unexpected complication of
affairs was as fierce as was his surprise
Thus to learn that Wooster was en-
gagged to marry his daughter made him
furious. That Aileen had given the news
to the world simply added fuel to his
passion. 'What is the meaning of
this?" he demanded, only partially re-
straining his emotions.
Aileen became as white as milk
"Why-didn't you-hear?" she faltered,
her powers of acting almost shattered
'Daddy-don't you wish me to be
happy?-to have this happiness?"
Her father loved her almost to fanati-
cism. She had swayed his moods,
quelled his temper and had her own way
from the days of her helpless babyhood.
He could not bear to wound her now.
and yet his anger was consuming all
else within him.

hercely. Once again he gripped himself,
to gain the mastery over his hotter emo
tions. "When did this happen?" he

Wooster revolved a score of replies
none of which could avail. After a
moment he answered: what more do

The Major eyed him holly. That he
struggled to restrain rising temper
Wooster plainly saw.

Major Van Twiller seemed not at first

and incongruity about it that puzzled
him.

 NEW YORK. March 23.-A sensa- tiOnal turn was given to the Reader SantO Domingo negotiations here when Mir. and Mrs. A. R.

 According to Mir Reader. Morales in vited him to conference both at his home and the palace and met him at the steamer in his official uniform. The terms of the treaty impressed him.
 For the first time since the remark able story of the Santo Domingo negO- tiations became public property Mir. Reader made public his relations with Morales and William Nelson Cromwell. the lawyer who denies that he had anything to do with the plan of bet torment for the island republic.
 He told how the treaty had just been submitted to Cromwell and the latter had said that Washington would ac- cept it and how on the day before the steamer sailed Cr:mweu had eau tioned him not to admit under any circumstances that he was n repre- sentative of the United States govern ment Cromwell stated further.

It is said that the admiralty at St. Petersburg strongly intimates that Ad- miral Rojestvensky will effect june lure with Admiral Nebogatoff within ten days and then proceed to try con illusions with Admiral Togo.
 Dispatches from General Linevitch say that Japanese cavalry attachments nave appeared in front of the Russian advance posts. Behind the cavalry were infantry, who halted at the vil- age of MachantZy.
 The retreat of the Russian army is being conducted in good fashion. In four days actual marching from Tie pass the rear guard has fallen back seventy miles and the heads of the col. nmns are already entering Gunshu pass. forty miles farther north. keep ng up with the Japanese column marching over the grand trade route.
