Pooh! Some poor creature who committed
suicide broke in the Prince again.
The newspapers say that it is clear case OF
murder. However, that is question for the
police. In England, Prince Melnikof you
doubtless aware, such discoveries are not
hushed up. But the really vital thing is that this
man, becoming Infatuated by harmless remark
of mine, almost forced me to accompany him to

Now it clear to both the speaker and Lord
Birmingham that, the narrative advanced, the
Russian gained his wonted self-possession and
good-hu1nor.
Indeed, when Armstrong paused he laughed.
Is that all?" he cried. Poor Ivan is a lunatic.
The girl is not his sister She is his ward, the
daughter of a friend. My conscience is quite
unburdened with reference to her. There was some
talk of foolish compact made in infancy by
respective parents. Is a man to be bound by such
folly nowadays?'
His words were plausible enough, and his

communication Frank deemed so significant

strong" put in Lord Birmingham, looking fixedly
at the Russian. " Nine out of ten, in his posi-

their shoulders by calling at the nearest police

Armstrong lost no
time in telling them of
his adventures. Prince
Melnikoff's face lost its
puzzled expression when
the other described the
similarity of the marks
on the knife-handle to
those engraved on the
opal.

significance had brought his friend to Ascot. In
response to Franks request he conducted them to

privacy. As the three young mounting

May 1 ask your highness if you have reason to

the pond?" said Armstrong.

Give me Stephanovitch's address, cried the
other, after gazing moodily through the window
into the deepening gloom without. Frank hest
tated. 'You will not do any good by mixing
yourself up with these people" he urged.
Good or i'll, l the only who will lift
a finger to secure Ernr1e's happiness" said her
brother vehemently. There's my father! He

Were it not for his own somber thoughts Arm
strong could have laughed at this angry young
egotist. He pacified him by writing Stephano-
vitch's address, and the two walked through the
grounds to the lodge where Franks cabman
told to await his return.
But the vehicle had vanished.

Armstrong, instead of having ample time to catch

himself from the net which Fate had spread before
his feet, he coolly retorted:

The decision of the Secretary
of War to buy the materials and
machinery with which to construct
the Panama Canal where he can
buy them the cheapest, will com
mand the respect of every I'M
selfish American. Even the pro-
tectionist can hardly object The
decision in no way effects the
American market which il is the
aim of protectionists to preserve
intact for the American manuIac-
turer and producer, in so far as
it can be done. The construction
of the canal is a unique enterprise
largely patriotic, but ii is also for
the benefit of all nations, and Of
future generations. On the same
principle as philanthropic and re.
ligious institutions are exempted
from taxation in this country, sc
the canal should be exempted
from the burden of the tariff tau
which, ii is already demonstrated
would increase the cost by con-
siderably more then SO per cent,
OF course, there will be tremen'
dous pressure on Congress to eX-
tend the protective system to the
materials and machinery for ths
canal, but it is 20 be hoped that il
this instance the members of Con
gress will show evidence Of broad,
minded patriotism, 1t is gener-
ally understood, although not
officially determined. that the
eight hour law will apply TO the
work on the canal, and that OF it,
self will materially increase the
cost Of the enterprise.
