THE PRESS LETTER.

Apll IL, lSVt.
To the Editor of the Grand Forks
Press:-
/ have read the sensation in your
issue OF the 9Th. wherein am charged
with being present at a dinner to
which you refer as "a rich mans din
ner" attended by persons opposed to
President Roosevelt and his policies.
If it serves the purpose of the political
organization which your paper pro-
fesses to represent to manufacture
material OF this kind in your own Of
flee and write Washington date to
it l. as republican, make no COM
plant.
My purpose in writing this letter to
you. is to request that YOU communi-
cate with President Roosevelt at once
and ask him concerning my attitude
toward him and his policies. If his
answer in any way whatever justifies
the alleged Washington telegram pub
lished in your paper concerning tho
rich mans dinner" l will Immediate
ly place my resignation in the hands
of Governor Burke, so that he may
appoint democrat as my successor.
Here is splendid opportunity for you
to render real service to your party.
Don't miss it.
Respectfully,
H C. HansbrOugh.

How politely accommodating" said
the woman with a light laugh. But
permit me to decline the implied invi-
tatiOn. You see you cannot force your
hospitality, for there is no charge
against me. Oh, yes, I'm on reading
terms with the law. The knowledge
of the law is indispensable at times.
However, you need not be afraid.
Go not write letters to stupid policemen
for nothing. 1 am able and willing to
meet with all your requirements. /
am doing this, you understand, not
through passionate love or fear of the
police, but because" She shrugged
her shoulders and her eyes smoldered.

Kind of soured on the whole game,

you've been a door mat long enough.
Come up the avenue. Some of your
friends may be cycling us up"
Don't trouble yourself" said the
woman sarcastically. MY esteemed
cOnfreres are out of the city and
won't be back for three hours. They
expect to vacate the city tomorrow.
However, I'm going to veto that ex-
pectation. I thought perhaps you
would like to come over to the estab-
lishment and get all the evidence ne
eessary. Then you can set a trap for
them to walk into. I'll show you the
whole outfit and where the wires come
in. / know you would rather accept
the invitation when the gentlemen
aren't visible You policemen are such
a heroic aggregation" and she sneered
politely. Expedite she added. I
haven't time to waste. 1t is really too
bad the captain was indisposed. Why
didn't he sent a man instead of you?
You appear to be nothing but one vast
silence with hair on it,

Go on. Show the way. By rights this

The woman shrugged her shoulders,
and in silence led the way toward
Sixth avenue. She stopped before a
respectable looking fat house.
In silence they made their way
through the quiet halls and up the
heavily carpeted stairs. 1t was 81 sim

knowing the futility of argument, rose
from his chair. 'AII right" he said
quietly. I'll lay chickey. I'll be only
two floors above. 1 wish we had some
means of communication" he finished
abstractly.
Lannagan's brows were knitted n
hard thought, his hand caressing the
aggressive chin. The detective turned
silently away. As his hand was on the
door flanagan looked up.
Billy" he said slowly, you remem-
Der eight years ago-when we were
operators on the D., L. & w? ?"
Sure. What of it?" asked the de-
tective in surprise.
Nothing" said flanagan absently.
Monday night, about 8 o'clock, saw j
tall, square man, with a heavy black
beard, standing on the northwest cor
ner of Thirty-second street and Fifth
avenue. He was quietly dressed.
It was a typical summer night, the
"clack-clack'' of hoofbeats echoing
holloway on the asphalt avenue; a
snatch of song and tinkling piano from
the open windows of side streets; a
girls laugh the clang and whirr of a
far-off Broadway car; the ''chug-
chug"Of an auto as it streaked swiftly
past, while white, staring eyes and
back draft redolent of gasoline.
The heavily bearded man took a final
drag at his athletic cigar, threw it
away and pulled out his watch. As he
did so a small clean-shaven, we'll
dressed gentleman with glasses and
white hair passed and, turning for IA
moment, eyed him keenly. The we'll
dressed gentleman continued his leis-
ureIy stroll for half block, then cut
hurriedly across the avenue. Shortly
afterward a tall lady turned the corr
ner of Thirty-fiTst street and walked
slowly up the avenue on the east side.
To the heavily bearded man on the op-
pOsite corner she appeared i'll at ease.
She stopped on the corner of Thirty
second street, looked carefully about,
then came slowly over. AS she stepped
into the violent glare of the arc light
swinging above the man who had been
watching her he stepped forward and
lifted his hat.
Good evening"" he said politely.
The woman eyed him keenly, stared
and drew back. 'Sir."
That's all right, miss said the
man with a laugh. 1--WE come to keep
that date you made. The captain s
sick, so he turned the case over to me.
I'm his ward man. Don't look so
scareed. It's all right. We won't run
you in. But you'll go behind the bars
if you don't come UP with that infor-
