business Of looking after the publlc,s
interest is nobody's business in par
ticular; that of attending to the rail-
road interests is the very particular
affair of the strongest, ablest, and best

only $4,000 for carrying on this work!
They are making it plain now that
they occupy the position of advantage;
it is always easier to defeat legislation
than to pass it.
Nevertheless. real public opinion is
gaining rather than losing ground on
these subjects; especially on that Of
the tariff. Even Pennsylvania, which
is getting ready to spring a bomb in

ut was q most awkward meeting.
Fl Dorothy, Train and Brendon
III knew the truth, but Mrs Ward
and Vane were ignorant As to
Lord Darlington himself, George was
not sure. After his ton with
Lola he had a vague idea that, since
Bawdsey was connected in some way
with his grandfather, Lord Darlington
must have somehow learned that BPen-
don was the name his grandson had
taken. There was no other way of ac-
counting for the mention Of Derring
tons name by the private detective.
However this might be, Lord Der
rington was too clever man TO be-
tray himself George felt tha- the old
man knew who he was. but he could
not be sure, for Darlington welcomed
him with well bred air, as he would
have done strnnger Mrs. Ward
watched the meeting curlously, and
Brendon noticed her inquiring gaze,
but he put this down to his knowl-
edge that Darlington knew he was
sutton for Dorothy's hand and wished
the girl to marry vane. Leonard was
the only person In the room who dis
played any visible disturbance. He
grew red and restless. Brendon was
perfectly calm.
How delightful of you to come, Mr..
Brendon," said Mrs. Ward, rising and
apparently forgetting that she had for
hidden him the house. II must intro
duce you. Lord Darlington = Mr..
Brendon, and you know Mr. Train"

calmly. "diss Ward''--he bowed to
Dorothy. WHO ernmated his serenity,
although she felt anxious. But when
she saw her lovers composure she
knew that nothing disagreeable would
occur, and her apprehensions were re-
heved.
There ensued general conversation
relative to the weather, to the doings
Of a certain politician and to sundry
other subjects more or less vague
George talked excellently and was
conscious that Darlington was listen
ing with approval. Again and again
he wondered IL the cid man really
knew who he was. and again and
again he failed to arrive at any con-
clusion. After a time Leonard went
with Dorothy to the piano, where she
played for his delectation, and Mrs
Ward seized the opportunity to show

Darlington chuckled at this reply.

Storthing Adopts Government Pre-


posal.
Christiana, Aug. 2}-Premier. Mi
chelsen presented to the storthing yes
terday the governments proposals for
the formal opening of negotiations With
Sweden and had the qualification of
seeing them adopted by a substantially
unanimous vote-104 to IL.
By this vote the government is au-
thoriZed to communicate the result Of
the recent referendum to the Swedish
riksdag, and to ask 1t, in view of that
vote, to accept the abrogation of the
"riksakt," or act of union, as an ac-
complished fact. The government is
further authorized to appoint delegates
to enter into negotiations with similar
delegates from Sweden to settle all the
questions between the two countries.
including those that were raised in the
Swedish proposals. These delegates will
be named at once, and If Sweden acts
with similar pronptitude, there is no
reason why negotiations between the
two countries may not commence very
soon.
1t is recognized, of course, that the
riksdag may refuse to recognize the
dissolution of the union until after the
questions it has raised are settled. But
it is hoped that since the ultimate OBJ
iects to be attained will be the same
in. any case, the riksdag will not insist
on any line Of negotiation that will
involve even tacit rerraction of the act
of June, whereby Norway broke out
Of the union. This is the danger point
in the negotiations. and the delegates
of the two countries will first have to
solve the problem of getting around
it in such way as not to offend either.
After an agreement on that point has
been reached, it is not likely there
will be any trouble in settling other
questions, except possibly that OF the
frontier fortifications.

which Mr.. Brendon had, no holly went
out of this house"
1T is very rare. Is It not7"
Il believe 80. dare say there wasn't
another bunch IN London on that par
ticular night. Of course there might
have been; stil-but why do you ask
oil this7'
WELL" said Leonard, ut seems to
me that the yellow holly has some
thing to do with the crime
Mrs. Ward drew long breath, but
said no word. He was speaking half
to himself, and she did not Wish to in
terrupt his train Of thought. But she
listened with ell her ears. Leonard
continued: IT found berry In the
room where she was killed. Yes. They
took US In to see the body, and horrid
sight 1t was. turned my eyes to the
floor, and there saw-just by the Ia
ble-a kind Of amber bead. dropped
my handkerchief SO that Quex might
not suspect, and I picked It up. When
in my own room examined It. Itwas
one Of the yellow holly berries"
Mrs. Ward threw herself back with
a kind o. unholy triumph. "Do you
know what you are saying. Mr..
Train?' she said In a half whisper.
"You are ACQUIRING Mr.. Brendon'-
'.No, no" Train started to his feet.
Mrs. Ward pulled him down again and
pointed With her fan toward the bou-
doir.
"Hush! He might come out" she
whispered. But can't you see? Bren-
don wore the sprig in his coat on that
night. He must have been in the room
and hive dropped the berry. What
was he doing there IL It was not to-
"No;;' said Train hoarsely. y half
thought Of that myself, but It is quite
impossible, tell you. He could not
have got out Of his room unless he
had come to me-
"How do you mean?"
II locked the door Of the sitting
room, which vvns between his bedroom
and mine. There was no exit from his
bedroom, and to get out and down the
stair he would have had to open the
sitting room door. Now, the key was
under my pillow, and the door was
locked in the morning. No, Mrs. Ward,
Brendon is innocent"
"He might have stolen the key while
you slept"
Train shook his head. Impossible.
I sleep very lightly, and on that night
l hardly slept at al"
"Why? Was anything wrong?
II can't tell you that, Mrs. Ward.
without violating the confidence Of my
friend. Indeed, have said too much.
Promise me you will not speak Of
what have told you"
II promise, but am quite sure that
the holly berry was dropped by George
Brendon and that he was In Mrs. Jer-
sey's sitting room on that night. He
is the criminal"
II tell you he is not, Mrs. Ward"
Don't excite yourself. Mr.. Train.
Here are sMr. Breadon and Dorothy"
She sailed toward them with open
hands. .Finished your talk? We
must say geed night" And to herself
