Hamilton. Her name was booked as
Mrs. Anderson, Newark, N. j."
No, do not" she answered, "and
l have never heard my husband speak
of green-haired acquaintance"
This statement in regard to the
meeting of her husband and the green
haired lady coincided with the glimpse
she had of it from her tower, though
at that distance she had not noticed
the color of her hair. An accidental
meeting, evidently; but they went on
in the same train together, perhaps in
the same car If friends, undoubtedly
they rode together. Well, what OF
that? Friends meet each other at ev-
cry turn. Her husband might in the
past have done the woman kindness
or some little service. 1t would be
like him. He would tell her all about
it on his return.
And, with a pleasant adieu to Miss
Chase, Mrs. Hamilton went away.
She called at the Savings Bank in
| passing, and Tony Osborn, with his
pen behind his ear, came at once to
speak to her.
Good morning, Tony; very busy.

But it's all a joke about my being

that her husband always cleared the
way for others. but took the toughest
path himself. And then she went on

Yes, that's what he told me. But, by
George: he never told me where he
was going. Strange! Always goes
off IN May. OF course you know"
She murmured something about Bos-
ton and rest.
"He needs it, by George! Hope he'll
get it. I shall need rest when he
gets back. Our business grows, Mrs.
Hamilton. It's double what it was two
years ago. Didn't realize it while

How hollow the house sounded!
How still it was! What would life be

so. They might make trouble. They
do sometimes. Mr.. Henderson thinks
it strange, l could see that, and so
does Tony. l must tell Vane about

AS you may imagine, with such con-
Trajectory thoughts, and so much
alone, Constance did not find the days
very swift in passing. Indeed, they
Jagged terribly, though she made calls,
practiced her music and did sundry
odd jobs of sewing, the accumulation
of the winter months.
To add to her anxiety she did not
receive one word from her husband.

with Mrs. Fry about the green-haired
lady. Mrs. Fry brought to Mrs Ham

CHAPTER II.
A Green-haired Woman.


Amos Talbert, the comfortable, gen
ial landlord of the Essex House, had
wife and daughter; the latter un-
married, though not of uncertain age,
as she had not the least objection to
any ones knowing that she was forty
two. With her bright complexion
brighter eyes and manners, she was
one of the most attractive ladies' in
Grovedale, and it was no task, there
fore, for Mrs. Hamilton to chat with
her for few moments.
Have you many guests in the house
now?" she asked Miss Talbert.
Very few steady boarders, but a
good many 'transients
Il wonder if the green-haired lady is
gone yet" said Miss Chase. looking
up from her work with a smile.
Yes, she went on the seven O'Clock
train.''
'On the train with my husband"
thought Mrs. Hamilton; but you may
be sure she did not say this.
Instead she repeated wonderingly,
as she looked at Miss Talbert with po-
lite interest, "a green-haired LADY,"
Il am not surprised at your sur.
prise" said Miss Talbert, laughing.
You would wonder still more if you
were to see her. She came on the

Fascinations of Baseball Shown by
New York Incident.

Baseball has charm all its own.
Last Saturday at noon a promoter
started down Wall street to take a
steamer for British Guiana. With him
was an Englishman who had never
seen ball game, having lived all his
life on his estate bordering the Esse-
quibo river. The promoter was going
down to buy from him for a syndicate
vast tract of forest land.
A pack of youngsters from Water
street, chased by a policeman from
their native heath, began to play base
ball on narrow Hanover street, just
when the promoter and his friend
should have been increasing their
pace. So they stopped along with
hundreds of others, from bankers to
push cart men.
The field was narrow one; the
eight-year-old batter faced the City
bank; right field was blocked by
Brown Brothers, and left field by the
Custom House. The catcher's back
stop was the United States Lloyd's
building.
The play was scientific. The Eng
lishman was an apt student and

lowed home run into an apple cart
on Wall street; those who chose to
celebrate the play by picking up ap,
pies and eating them did so.
The promoter finally dragged the
Britisher away. They missed their
steamer at that, and it took lot of
persuasion plus yellow note to get

RAILROAD RATES
HOUSE COMMITTEE AGREES TO
REPORT HEPBURN BILL.
ACCEPTS SEVERAL CHANGES
Railroad Commission to Comprise
Seven Members-Shall Fix "Just
Reasonable and Fairly Remunera-
tive Rate"

Washington.-After conference
lasting all the afternoon the House
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce Tuesday agreed upon a rate
bill, to be known as the Hepburn bill,
and to be reported to the House with
the unanimous recommendation of the
eighteen members of the committee.
In the main the bill is the original Hep
burn bill, but a number of concessions
were made to the Democrats, and their
ideas as set forth in the Davie bill
were freely incorporated in the per-
fected measure.
Chairman Hepburn was congratu-
lated by all the members of his COM
mittee on the drafting of a bill upon
which the two parties could agree and
the members of the committee assert
confidence that the successful outcome
of their long conferences will have
marked effect upon the attitude of the
Senate toward the measure.
Mr.. Hepburn and the other Republi
cans agreed to accept the wording of
the Democratic bill in the provision for
the fixing of the maximum rate. The
amendment which was accepted pro-
vides that the commission shall fix
lust, reasonable and fairly remunera-
rate"
1t was maintained by the Democrats
that under the original Hepburn word
ing the commission was required to fix
the highest of the Just, reasonable
and fairly remunerative rates." in case
there were several such rates. Chair
man Hepburn and the Republicans do
not believe there is any difference in
the two workings, but were perfectly
willing to accept the language of the
Davie bill.
The amended bill also provides for
seven members of the interstate COM
merce commission instead of nine, as
was provided in the original Hepburn
, bill
Another amendment incorporated at
the request of the Democrats provides
that in cases where no damages are as
sessed the commission may simply
state its conclusion and need not set
forth its findings.
A section of the Davie bill requiring
that the attorney general in appealed
cases shall file the certificate neces-
sary TO expedite the hearing was incor
porated in the amended bill. Another
amendment provides that orders of the
commission shall continue in force for
three years unless repealed.
No existing cases are to be affected
by the bill, and all laws relating to wit
, nesses and the conducting of hearings
before the commission are to be con-
tined

HOlS lelt MP.
1t is believed by the police that
other women have been stabbed by the
, tiend and that they have refrained from
reporting their experiences through
shame or timidity. Several victims adj.
mitted to-day that they never would
have said anything about their injuries
had they not wanted to aid in captur-
ing the crank. The experiences and
wounds of the fourteen women are so
similar there is no doubt the same man
attacked them all. In each case a
young, slight fellow hurried up to the
girls or passed them on the run or
rapid walk, jostled them, stabbed thA
victims and then fleeing.
Alienists and professors of physiol-
ogy agree that the crimes were COM
mitted by a moral pervert type. In
many pointa the St. Louis fiend recalls
the case of the celebrated Girl Stab
Der of Bozen," well known to medical
men the world over, who stabbed many
girls in the abdomen before he was
made subject of legal investigation.
Despite faithful efforts of the police,
no trace of the fiend has been found.

he didn't come to the bank. Perhaps
he is at the mill"
without coming home, Tony?"
Young Osborn bit his lips and
thought deeply, but each moment grew
more bewildered.
Did you speak to h:m?" asked Mrs.
Hamilton.
Eyes, and he spoke to me. Bank
ing hours are over at four, you know,
and it was just after dark that saw
him going into the bank as l was
passing. 'Hullo!' I said. 1t was the
first thing l thought to say, for was
surprised to see him so soon. 'HulD,
he said, and laughed a little. Didn't
expect me back SO soon, did you?'
No. 1 said, I didn't Then he went
in and shut the door after him, and l
went home"
Tony. that couldn't have been Mr..
Hamilton"
1T certainly was. 1t was his voice
l heard, and his form, features, gait,
everything. l couldn't have been mis-
taken"
Tony" said Mrs. Hamilton, in a
low, terrified voice, 81 am afraid you
have been deceived. 1t must have
been a burglar"
"Oh, no, there isn't the least doubt
in the world that it was Mr.. Hamilton;
none at ALL"
Was everything right this morn
ing?"
Yes"
Nothing missing?"
mo, nothing at all. All that sur
prises me is that he isn't here"
He would certainly have been if he
had come home. That makes me
think you have been deceived"
For answer Tony took from his vest
pocket small shirt-stud of unique
design and handed it to Mrs. Hamil-
ton.
Il found it on the desk just as 1t
would have fallen if it had become
loosened from his shirt front"
"Oh, Tony, What does it mean"
cried Mrs. Hamilton, with white lips.
What can it mean? 1t is his. | gave
him the set myself, and had them
marked with his initials. See, this is

Il noticed it." said Tony, quietly.
"and l was sure it was his. Now.
how did it happen to be on his desk
this morning, unless it dropped out
last night?"
perhaps it was laid there, unno-
ticed, since he went away"
Impossible. l have busted and
put everything in order daily"
Tony's habits of order were incon-
trovertible. Cannot you recollect
whether he spoke of missing one be-
NO, he said nothing about missing
one"
Then you will find that am right y
said Tony. "Mr. Hamilton was at the
bank last night at about eight o okcck.
He must have been detained ome-
where, and will, no doubt, be here
shortly. You may expect to see him
coming up the street at any moment"
he concluded, reassuringly. fc- he saw
that she was terribly shaken.

"Oh, he's all right, sound as a
trump. l wouldn't worry, If l were
you," and Tony went down the stairs.
but paused to ask. "Shall l go around
to the mill and ask Mr.. Carter If he
has seen anything of him?"
Eyes, please do, and ask Uncle Car
ter to come up to see me, if Vane isn't

"All right" and he turned away. 81
