During the last official count, made
in 1897, when Mr.. Roberts succeeded
Mr. Morgan there was theft of 5000
of Uncle Sans money. One of the
employees assisting in the count was
overcome by the temptation and ap-
parent opportunity and extracted the
money from one of the silver dollar
bags, substituting leaden disks of equal
weight The theft was detected, and
the culprit was sent to the peniten-
tiary, but the affair brought demand
for a recount of all the silver by hand.
This prolonged the official counting for
two months beyond the usual time and
was cause of much extra expense to
the government Mr.. Morgan was
obliged to refund the money, as the
law specifies. Shortly before that time
some bills disappeared from one of the
treasury bureaus and could not be
traced. Mr.. Morgan was also held for
that loss, and almost all treasurers

detective.
All that night Dorothy was haunted
BY strange dreams, in which the figure
of Lola played a prominent part. Usu-
ally calm and self possessed, Dorothy
slept like child. but the fierce music,
the mad dancing. the knowledge that
George knew this woman. caused her
to sleep brokenly. She was up early.
and after q breakfast that was mere
farce she took her way to the park. 1t
was her usual custom to walk in
lonely part about 8 o'clock III the
morning, but on this occasion she was
at her usual spot by half past z.
This was a seat under spreading tree
in the center of wide lawn. Few peo-
Dorothy often read for an hour before
returning home. In mechanical man
ner she took book out of her pocket
and tried to read. But 1t was impossi-
bic. Before her inner vision passed the
wild, flushed face of Lola Velez, and
Dorothy could not drive it away. While
endeavoring to do so some one came to
sit on the seat. Dorothy, rather sur
prised. looked up. She saw Lola star
ing at her intently.
The dancer looked pale and worn.
About her there was none of the In
fuence of the previous night. AS the
morning was cold, she wore sealskin
coat and toque, with scarf Of red silk
twisted round her throat. This touch
of color was all that was about her
likely to suggest her foreign origin.
With her pale face and piteous mouth
and appealing eyes she looked like
broken hearted woman.
Lola began to speak without any
preamble "Mr. Bawdsey pointed you
to me at the last night" she said in
her imperfect English. "He declared

this time the lower edge was fringed

Darlington saw that 1t was useless to

to chair, closing her eyes as she fell
into it. Darlington surveyed her with
pitiless expression.
"You will be silent about Brendon"
he asked.

At the meeting at the Cecil Mrs.
Ward was herself again. She had
quite got over the fright given to her

the next day Lord Darlington paid a
visit to Curzon street and had short
interview with Mrs. Ward, the gist of
which was that she must hold her
tongue.
.Brendon called to see me the other
day." explained Darlington, looking
grim, 'and he showed me plainly that
he had nothing to do with the mat
ter"
But how about the holly berry,
"That is easily explained" replied
Darlington, who. anticipating the ques-
ton, had prepared an answer. "Bren-
don was one of the first to see the
body, and in touching it the berry fell
from the sprig. Afterward-mind you,
afterward-AIr Train found the berry
and, not knowing that Brendon had
seen the body that morning, thought
he had been in the room on the preyi-
GUS night.
"I'm sure he was" insisted Mrs.
Ward.
you are sure Of nothing of the sort.
Brendon could not have got downstairs
without the connivance Of Train, and
you heard what Train said"
Then he asked after pause, 'Why
did you tell Dorothy to give the sprig
Of holly to Brendon on that night?"
Mrs. Ward shrugged her shoulders
and looked down nervously. ooh, It
was the merest kindness on my part, ;"
/, she said, trying to speak quietly, Der
rington contradicted her at once.
"It was nothing of the Sort" he de-
clared, with roughness. you wished
him to have the yellow holly in his
coat when. he saw Mrs. Jersey so that
the woman might betray herself"
II knew nothing about Mrs. Jersey
at the time"
ooh, but you did! With regard to the
holly, you knew from ME how it was
used in connection with the death Of
my son ut San Reno, and what did
not tell you you learned from other
people. But how did you know about
Mrs. Jersey?"

successfully. When Dorothy came from

Mrs. Ward had position directly In
front, where she could see and be seen,
but Dorothy kept herself behind the
curtains. She could see the stage ex-
cellently, but did not wish to be rec
ognized by any chance acquaintance.
In an opposite box sat red haired
man In immaculate evening dress.
Darlington recognized him as Bawd-
sew. but did not think it necessary to
show his recognition. He sat at the
back of the box between Vane and the
war office clerk and kept watchful
eye on Mrs. Ward.
That little woman sparkled like a
diamond She criticised the house,
admired the decorations and applaud
ed the comic songs. 1t might have
been that this Indifferent attitude was
one of defiance as she must have
known that Darlington was watching
her. But she acted her part consum-
mately, and he could not help admir-
ing her GOODNESS. what an admira-
BILE actress" thought the old lord, "and
what dangerous woman!
The ballet came at the end of the
first part of the programme. When the
curtain rose Dorothy was 80 anxious to
behold Lola that she leaned forward
so as to show her face to the whole
house. Bawdsey saw her and put his
glass to his eye He smiled slightly,
and Darlington wondered why he did
so. But at that moment, and while
the stage was filling with dancers, he
arose to receive somenewcomers. These
were none other than Miss Bull and
| Margery, for whom Bawdsey had pro-
cured the box. The little old maid was
whittier than ever and wore her usual
gray dress. Margery was smartly

hair and stupid red face looked any
thing but beautiful. She placed her.

for that lady preferred the shade. AT
all events, she secluded herself behind
curtain and kept her beady black
| eyes persistently on the stage. On
| seeing that the two were comfortable,
Bawdsey disappeared and did not re-
turn till the end of the ballet. Der
rington saw all this, but no one else
in Mrs. Wards box took any notice.
And why should they? Bawdsey and
his party were quite unknown to them
Dorothy could not say that Lola was
handsome, but she had about her q
wild grace which was very fascinating
When dancing she seemed to think OF
nothing but the revels in which she
was engaged. She never cast look
at the house, and Dorothy noticed this
She was therefore somewhat surprised
when, during the second scene, she saw
Lola deliberately look in the direction
of the box and stare at her piercingly
for quite moment or two. Rather
confused by this sudden regard, the
| girl drew back Lola noticed her nc
more, but continued to dance.
1 .Let us go now" said Dorothy, wher
| the wild dance Of Lola was at an end

She was interrupted by an ejacula

was standing up, but her eyes were fix
ed on Miss Bull. The little old maid
