THE COLONEL
AND THE COUNT
Continued from page 8

roiterate her thanks, and beheld no
virtue in brevity, nor took notice of the
ocld sweat upon his forehead.
But finally she went her way, and the
Colonel, hatless and well-nigh GREATNESS,
fled from the room and claimed sanctuary
in the dark recesses of the winding cor
ridors Nor was his flight inopportune,
for the Tapping tail of his Prince Albert
scarcely had disappeared around the
first corner when Mrs. Diggins, red-faced
and furious, came Tuning down the hall.
Reaching the door of the "office,"
she burst it open like a hurricane and
strobe wrathfully within. The room was
destitute of living creature other than
herself, but what she beheld famed to a
white heat the flame of anger in her heart:
On the table was the Coloners hat; on
the floor beside his desk was a woman's
glove!
To the Colonel the time for flight had
come. To his wounded pride, the cheer
of the Mountain View Hotel no longer
offered solace To flee was his one hope,
his one desire. But to flee hatless, to
seek refuge elsewhere without a suitable
covering for his whitening locks, was
outside the scope of reason. 1t was
contrary to the rules of decorum or the
demands of dignity. He must rescue
his hat
So, after many moments of conflicting
emotions, he approached the door of his
office with fear and trembling. Breath
lessly he listened at the key-hole, and
then, with sudden but short-lived deter
mination placed his hand upon the knob.
But his courage was not sufficient
unto his needs. Was Mrs. Diggins with
in? Was lady or tiger, or both, con-
cealed within the room?
Gently he turned the knob until he
heard the bolt fly back; then he hesitated
By slow degrees his courage strengthened,
and finally, pushing the door slightly
ajar, he thrust his head through the
opening. The dreaded image of his wife
was nowhere visible
With great sigh of relief, he was
about to enter, when he was suddenly
startled by heavy tread upon the stair
| Turning, he beheld the cow-puncher, a
revolver clasped in each hand, ascending
two steps at a time.
Indecision no longer held the Colonel
passed. With more haste than grace, he
leaped nimbly within and turned the
latch. Then he paused to wipe the
perspiration from his face
While thus engaged, he heard behind
him an ominous sound 1t was a
woman's voice-a voice he knew not
wisely but too well. His name was the
burden of her cry, but it was not softened
by endearing terms
He turned and beheld Mrs. Diggins
bearing down upon him like charge of
dragons. From one hand dangled a
woman's glove, with the other was up
lifted the family umbrella Simultan-
eously with the appearance of this evil
dence of approaching doom, the cow
puncher pounded violently upon the
door
For an instant, but an instant only,
the Colonel stood transfxed, his face the
picture of a consuming despair, then,
rescuing his beloved hat from the very
clutches of the enemy he threw one last
frightened glance at the wife of his bosom,
and fled from the room with such mad

ton. in Court Room.
Edward Page, the father of Mabel Page,
for whose murder Charles L. Tucker is on
trial was the first witness at Cambridge.
Mass, yesterday. Mr.. Page, who is sew
enty-eight years of age and quite feeble,

the old mans story. Mr.. Pages testimony
related entirely to his own movements on
the day of the murder and to what oc-
Cured in the house up to the moment Of
his discovery of his daughters body. His
story added nothing to the known facts
in the case.

time. The description of Miss Pages

Comparison Noted.


Persons who have given attention to the
effects of chronic tuberculosis liken the
presence of several hundred cases of that
disease to a plague. One citizen of the Dis
trfct, in discussing the subject today. de-
clared that 'if there were $50 cases of bu-
bonic plague in the city. or go cases of
smallpox or any other dangerously conta-
gious disease here. the city would be thrown
into state of wild alarm, and the news
papers would contain, nothing but accounts
OF the impending calamity. Congress, no
doubt, would make an emergency appro-
priation to provide proper care and treat
ment for the persons afflicted. And yet the
presence here of at least $50 cases of
chronic tuberculosis a dangerously conta-
slous disease. seems tor excite scarcely any
hotlce on the part of, the public, and Con-
gress has continued 3td ignore the pressing
necessity OF providing treatment for these
patients" aaIf7rsn
Inc estimates for District charities are
tne second largest in the District appro-
Prlation bill. amounting in all for the next
hscal year to about $500. 900. The estimates
Tor the public schools amount to over a
million dollars. 1t is thought that sys-
tenn recurring suehI a large expenditure of
FUNDS should be given most careful consid-
Grafton by the lawmakers.
