BILE"
At that instant his glance, travelling
from one to another of those present,
fell on Mrs. Vansittart.
He stood as one petrified. The kind
ly words of his host, the outspoken
glee of the girls at his appearance,
died away in his ears In hollow echoes.
His eyes, frowning beneath wrinkled
brows, seemed to ask II he were not
the victim Of some unnerving halluci-
nation. They were fixed on Mrs. Van
sittart's face with IN all absorbing in
tensity, and his set lips and clinched
hands showed how utterly irresistible
was the knowledge that indeed he was
not deceived; that he was gazing at a
living, breathing personality and not
at some phantom product Of a u r
charged brain.
She, too, yielding before the sudden
ness of an ordeal she had striven to
avoid, betrayed by her laboring bosom
that she was under the spell Of some
excitement of overwhelming power.
She managed to gain her feet. The
consciousness that Constance, Enid,
Lady Margaret even, were looking at
her and at Brand with amazed anxiety
served to strengthen her for a supreme
effort.
"Mr. Stephen Brand-and I-are old
acQuaintances," she gasped. "He may

not to blame. I could not-help my
self. l am always-trying to explain
but somehow W succeed. Obi"
With an agOnized sigh she swayed
listlessly and would have fallen had
not Pyne caught her.
But she was desperately determined
not to faint-there. This was her
world, the world of society. She would
not yield In it's presence.
Her eyes wandered vaguely, helpless.

summoned a wan smile to her aid.
you will forgive me-if l leave you,"
she murmured. 81 am SO tired-so
very tired
She walked resolutely toward the
door. Brand drew aside that she might
pass. He looked at her no more. His
wondering daughter saw that big drops
of perspiration stood ON his forehead.
Mr.. Trail, no less astOnished than
the rest, offered to conduct Mrs. Van
sittart to her room.
NO" she said, ~ will go alone. I
am used to it now after SO many
years"
There was a ring Of heartfelt bitter
ness In her voice which appealed to
more than one of the silent listeners.
AS the door closed behind her Brand
seemed to recover his senses.
81 must ask your pardon, Mr.. Traill,"
he said quietly. ~ assume that the
lady who has just left us did not *
pect to see me here tonight. 1t would
be idle to deny that the meeting was
a shock to both of us. 1t revived pain

said, so taken aback was he, exclaimed
hastily:

. broad stairs of the hotel unac-
" companied by any Of the 9TH
ers. There was nothing Incompetent
sible in this or any SAVIOR Of dis
courtesy.
In the first place, Mr.. Trail was SO
profoundly shocked by the lighthouse
keepers revelation that he collapsed
into a chair and remained there, bowed
and wordless, for many minutes. Both
Pyne and Stanhope did move toward
the door, but Enid, watchful, self sac
rifcing, eager to save those she loved
from further pain, telegraphed an en-
phatic order to Stanhope to remain
where he was, and Pyne murmured to
him:
"Guess she's right, anyhow. Well all
feel n heap better in the morning"
The person who exhibited the clear
est signs of distress was Lady Marga-
ret. Her position was n Of extraor-
binary difficulty. Three Of the actors
in the GREATNESS scene which had been
sprung on her with the suddenness of
an explosion were absolute strangers
In her life before that evening.
Brand she knew indeed, but only by
sight. She had met Constance and
Enid occasionally, at arms length, so
to speak, regarding them truly al dan
gerous young persons where marriage
able sons were concerned. Enid had
justified her suspicious, and her lady
ship had yielded so far a. to give her
approval to an engagement she could
not prevent.
Circumstances had conspired to force
her hand. Stanhope, being an Outspo-
ken young man, had made no secret of
his desperate resolve to rescue Enid, so
the newspapers supplied the remainder
of the romance, and even Lady Marga-
ret herself had contributed to it under
the magnetic influence of the hour.
1t was one thing, however, to be
thrilled with the adventures of the
rock bound people, but quite another to
figure prominently in connection with
a social scandal of the first magnitude.
She knew Penzance too well to hope
that the incident would sink into obllv-
ion. Obviously the matter could not
rest in it's present stage. She must ex-
pect disagreeable disclosures, signifi-
cant head shakings of those who knew
little and wanted to know more. All
the tea table artillery of a small town
would be focused on her defensive po-
sition were she loyal TO the girl whom
her son had chosen as his helpmate.
This same son, too, after he had re-
covered from the amazement of Mrs.
Vansittart's dramatic departure and
Brands admission, betrayed a compo-
sure that was distinctly irritating.
"You won't mind If we smoke, moth
err" he said. 1.-THE situation requires
tobacco. Don't you feel like that,
PyneT"
"If Lady Margaret doesn't object, I
admit that different sorts of poison
might act as tonics," answered Pyne.
"Here, uncle; try a brandy and soda.
Lady Margaret, a glass of champagne.
I've been expecting a disturbance, but
didn't look for 1t tonight"
"Why do you say that, CharlieT'
asked Mr.. Trail, rising and stretching

"You forget, Enid, that there is a
grave chance of you, at any rate, leav-

She blushed.

Mrs Diantha Scott filed in the district
court yesterday a petition of "bondsman
for protection" in connection with the case
of Sylvester Sucker, under indictment on
a charge of concealing stolen property.
Sucker was Jointly indicted with Harry
Hall on the charge of receiving and con-
cealing a quantity of sugar stolen last
year from Illinois Central cars. His first
bond was placed at $3.50 and Sucker furn-
ished a cash bond in this amount, the
money for which Mrs. Scott, who is a
sister of Sucker, says she furnished
Later the bond was reduced to $500 and
Sucker took down the $3.50 cash and furn-
ished a bond with Barnhardt and Klein
as sureties. Subsequently Barnhardt &
Klein withdrew their names from the bond
and Sucker by agreement of the county
attorney was permitted to furnish a cash
bond in the sum of 500, on which he is at
present at liberty.
In her petition filed yesterday Mrs. Scott
alleges that Sucker had no authority to
withdraw the $3.50 which she originally
furnished for his bond and which was
practically everything she owned. She
asked that the court now issue an order
forbldding the clerk to turn over the 500
to Sucker or to any one on his behalf. for
the reason that the money belongs to her

Carnegie public library building was broken
into Thursday night and 50 in small change,
representing the librarians collections for

open with a small Jimmy or chisel, as were
several drawers in what is known as
the cataloguers room in the evident search
for money.
The doors OF the building after the Ii

opened from the outside with a key but
from the inside they can be opened by

American Company Claims it IL Oper-
ating at Loss Against sub
Eidi1ed Competition,

WASHINGTON, April lS-When the
house committee on merchant marine and
fisheries met today TO continue the hear
ings on the ship subsidy bill It listened first
to a letter from Albert winsor, president
Of the Boston Steamship company, which
operates FIVE steamships between the Pa
cihc coast and Japan. Mr. Winsor in
formed the committee that unless the sub
sidy bill is passed these ships will be put
out of commission and the route aban-
doned AS expected, he said, the company
is operating at a loss, being in direct COM
petition with three British steamships
operating from Vancouver and receiving
a subsidy of S2e1OOO. 1t is also in direct
competition with three Japanese ships re-
ceiving subsidies of $4,000 per annum
The amount the Boston ships receive is
$4,000 for carrying the mails The letter
further stated that II the subsidy bill is
passed the line will be enlarged
Former Representative Loud Of California
spoke for the bill. He said the Spreckles
line from San Francisco to Australia was

doued and the ships transferred to the

DEMOCRATS SEE PRESIDENT
Rate Bill il Discussed and Suggested
Amendments Considered at
white House.


WASHINGTON, April 13.-Rairoad rate
legislation was again "a topic of important
discussion today at the White House. The
president talked over the subject with Sen
ator Nelson of Minnesota, one of the
staunch supporters of rate legislation, and
later discussed it with Senators Simons and
OVerman of North Carolina.
The president suggested to Senator Mel
son that in his judgment it would be well
to attach to the Hepburn bill either the
amendment offered by Senator Simmons or
that by Senator Mallory of Florida, both OF
which are designed TO prevent unusual
delay in the consideration of applications
for temporary injunctions.
The proposed amendments provide that
petitions for preliminary injunctions must
be begun before the rate fixed by the COM
mission goes into effect The complainant
must begin proceedings within fifteen days
after any given rate fixed by the commits
sion and the notification has been received.
Ten days then are allowed for the taking
of testimony and the return of papers. In
thirty-five days all the facts in any case
must be ready for submission to the court
on motion for temporary injunction.
Such an amendment, it is believed by the
advocates of rate legislation, would insure
speedy determination Of any given case
and would prevent the delays which they
fear. 1t is regarded likely that such an
amendment may be adopted.

City Treasurer True and former City
Assessor F. F. Everest testified before the
committee of the whole of the city council
yesterday afternoon as to the qualifications
Of Andrew Fellentreter, who asserts
right to be appointed poll tax collector
under the old soldiers preference law. His
chances for obtaining the appointment were
not improved by the statements of Messrs.
True and Everest Treasurer True read
the reports of Fellentreter while acting as
poll tax collector in 1904 and of Collector
Mikesell, who held the position during the
recent democratic administration. Compar-
ison of the reports showed that Mikesell
had succeeded in collecting $500 more than
Fellentreter. Mr. Everest stated he had
employed Fellentreter to assist in taking
the government census in 1900 and that his
services had been anything but satisfac-
tory. The committee decided to refer the
matter to the city council for final action
at its next meeting.

Chief Executive of Colorado Can Sus-
pend Writ of Habens Cor
pus at VIII.

DENVER, April 1S.-Chief Justice Cab
bert of the state supreme court yesterday

case. 1t is generally conceded that this
new opinion win take precedence over the
former majority opinion as the latest ex-
preston of the court The chief justice
declared that the governor Of the state has
the power to suspend habeas corpus at his
discretion and that the courts cannot re-
view the action.

with excerpts from an opinion of Justice
Johnson in case in the Philippine islands
in which the power of the governor general
to suspend the privileges Of the writ Of
habeas corpus during a state of insurrec-
ton in the province of Batangas was up
held. The chief justice finds the case an
aiogous to the situation presented in Colo
RADIO during the labor troubles and draws
conclusions in which the Incarceration Of

to Lower IL Proof

PROPERTY OWNERS COMPLAINTS MEX

After spending several days going over
the books of City Assessor Hardin, the city
council, sitting as a Board of Review, last
night completed its work so far as raising
any of the assessments is concerned. After
mature dclberation and much discussion
the councilmen decided the assessments Of
one dealer in second hand furniture, one
grocer and one pawnbroker were too low
and ordered their assessments raised, as
follows; l. Cherniss. grocer 5l3 South
Main street. assessment raised from 500
to $500; A. Gilinsky, dealer in second hand
furniture, 2O9 South Main street, assessment
raised from $500 to 500; H. Laidius, pawn
broker, 542 West Broadway, assessment
raised from $500 to $500. These increases,
should they stand, will raise the revenue
of the city exactly $3.50.
The board adjourned to next Friday night,
at which time any person dissatisfied with
the assessment made against him by Mr..
Hardin will have an opportunity to protest
either in person or by an attorney. The
board having approved the assessment
books of the assessor last night with the
raises mentioned, caunot now increase any
assessment, but still has the power to de-
crease.
During the discussion last night Council
man Wallace called attention to the fact
that a number of men of reputed means
did not appear to have reported any moneys
and credits.
