thrown together more or less she could
not get beyond a certain barrier. 1t
was not until sunny day when she
had accepted Barbara's invitation to
drive that things seemed to 80 more
easily. For the first time she felt the
charm OF the girl, ana Tor the first time
Barbara seemed unreservedly friendly.
1t was a quiet drive they were taking
through the woods and out along the
beach, and somehow in the open air
things simpliied themselves. Finally
In the softness and the idle warmth
even an allusion to Monty, whose name
usually meant an embarrassing change
Of subject, began to seem possible. 1t
was inevitable that Peggy should bring
it in, for with her a question Of tact
was never allowed to dominate when
things Of moment were at stake. She
covered before the plunge, but she
took it unafraid.
"The doctor says Monty may go out
driving tomorrow" she began. isn't
that fine?"
Barbara's only response was to touch
her pony little too sharply with the
whip. Peggy went on as if uncon-
scious of the challenge.
"He has been bored to death, poor
fellow, in the house all this time, and
Miss Gray, please do not mention
Mr.. Brewster's name to me again. in
terrupted Barbara, with contraction
of the eyebrows. But Peggy was seized
with a spirit Of defiance and plunged
recklessly on.
"What is the use, Miss Drew, Of TAX
ing an attitude like that? I know the
situation pretty well, and can't be-
lieve that either Monty or you have lost
in week a feeling that was SO deep
seated. 1 know Monty much too well
to think that he would change so cas-
ily." Peggy still lived largely in her
ideals. "And you are too fine thing
not to have suffered under this misun-
Outstanding. It seems as If very
small word would set you both
straight"
Barbara drew herself up and kept
her eyes on the road, which lay white
and cleaning in the sun. II have not
the least desire to be set straight. =
And she was never more serious.
"But it was only few weeks ago
that you were engaged"
81 am sorry" answered Barbara,
''that it should have been talked about
SO much Mr. Brewster did ask me to
marry him, but I never accepted. In
fact, it was only his persistence that

"To my certain knowledge he has

September That is something, is Il
not?" Miss Drew said in her~slow, COO
voice, and even Peggy's loyalty admit
ted some justification in the criticism.
Generosity has ceased to be viz

Generosity exclaimed Barbara

"Yet they charitably help him to
spend his money, and have noticed
that even worldly mammas find him
eligible" The comment was not with
out its caustic side
"That was months ago, my DEAR"
protested Barbara calmly. "When he
spoke to me he told me it would be
impossible for him to marry within a
year. And don't you see that year
may make him an AFFECT beggar?'
Naturally anything is preferable to
beggar," came in Peggy's clear, soft
voice.
Barbara hesitated only a moment.
"Well, you must admit, Miss Gray,
that it shows a shameful lack of char.
acter. How could any girl be happy
with man like that? And, after ALL
one must look out for ones own fate"
Undoubtedly" replied Peggy, but
many thoughts were dashing through
her brain.
"Shall we turn back to the cottage?'
she said after an awkward silence.
you certainly don't approve of Mr.
Brewster's conduct?' Barbara did moi
like to be placed in the wrong and fell
that she must endeavor to justify her
self. "He is the most reckless Of

Peggy quietly as they turned il
through the great iron gates, and Bar

way hall, while the "anti" convention
met in Studebaker hall several blocks
distant.
Aware of the alleged attempt to
thwart the purpose of the convention,
the delegates at Steinway hnll refused
to admit the delegates, although pro-
perly accredited unless they would
argee to support the Presidents plan.
These delegates objected to the pr oced-
ure demanding they be given the right
of free speech, while the opposition
charged they were sent by the rail
roads and other unfair interests to
pack the convention. A number of
exciting scenes followed before the
meeting was called to order. The
nuber of delegates at each convention
was about equal, ranging between 400
and 500. Speeches, organization and
resoluti ons, including one whioh was
presented in the Studebaker hall con.
vention asking the president to settle

gular convention, but upon which no
action was taken, occupied the tlmo OF

Gigantic Land Stealing in This
State Now Being Unearthed
by Secret Service Men
PROMINENT MEN INVOLVED
The Expose Promises to be Much
Worse than the Oregon
Land Scandal

SEATTLE. Oct. 27.-Thls Is what
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States, believes must be charg-
ed up against the fair name of the
State of Washington:
Gigantic frauds in public lands. Ex-
tensiye fraudulent operations in timb-
er lands. Collusion between customs
officials and smugglers. Collusion
beween certain Seattle police officers
and men who dispose of contra band
goods in this city. Coilusion between
certain prominent ex-officials and land
fraud operators Fraudulent timber
operations by an ex Senator from this
state.
This is what President Roosevelt
proposes to do:
Garry on campaign in Washington
as he did in Oregon. Collect a chain
of evidence that will in all probability
convict some of the most prominent
political and social men in Seattle.
Send United States Prosecutor Heney
to personally prosecute all charges.
Investigate past operations of the big
timber companies.
This is what President Roosevelt
has done:
Sent William j. Burns, his personal
" representative, the biggest man in
the natio nal secret service and the man
who personally unearthed all the evid-
ence used by Heney in the prosecution
of the Oregon land frauds, to Seattle.
Through Mr.. Burns he has placed SIX
men at work in this city alone and a
total Of IS mea throughout The state
Personally conducting the campaign
in Washington. and in daily teller
gaph,c consu Itation with Burns.
Enlisted the cooperation of Mayor
Ballinger to the extent of furnishing
absolute protection to the men who
are secretly working IN Seattle.
Thrown certain memers of the Seattle
police department into a panic OF
guilty fear.
Mr.. Burns, accompanied by his
wife. arrived in Seattle Thursday
afternoon and Friday morning found
him hard at work. He was preceded
to Seattle by siy men, who have been
tried and found true in the work of
the national secret service. While
Mr.. Burns left Saturday night, pre-
sumably for Oregon, his six men re-
mained and are in the city at the
present writing. There is enough
work to do 1t is said, in Seattle alone
to keep that sextette busy for some time
TO come. incidentally, Mr.. Burns has
10 men, all told. digging up evidence
of official crime throughout the state.
While Mr.. Burns is gone his .men re-
main, and it is safe to say they will
have some important news for their
chief when he return to Seattle on
Dec l..
The expose. when.it does come, prom
ises at this time, to be even more sem
sational than the fgreat scandal in
Oregon. To begin with, some OF
the biggest. oldest and most infiu-
entail and wealthy lumber companies
in the state OF Washington will
have the government searchligi &.
turned full upon their operations OF
the past. 1t was the alleged frauds
committed by lmen Of this class,
is said, that rest directed the atten'
tion OF Preslid ent Roosevelt this way.
