CHAPTER xI.
! Receive a Call.

Going to bed at three o'clock on a
winter morning in a house whose
ways are disquieting, after a duel in
which you escaped whole only by
sheer good luck, does not fit one for
sleep. When l finally drew the covers
over me it was to lie and speculate
upon the events Of the night in con-
nection with the history of the few
weeks l had spent at Glenarm. Larry
had suggested in New York that Pick
ering was playing some deep game,
and /, myself, could not accept Pick
ering's statement that my grandfath-
er's large fortune had proved to be a
myth. If Pickering had not stolen or
dissipated it, where was it concealed?
Morgan was undoubtedly looking for
something of value or he would not
risk his life in the business; and it
was quite possible that he was en-
ployed by Pickering to search for hid
den property. This idea took strong
hold of me, the more readily, ! fear,
since had alwaye been axious to see
evil in Pickering. There was, to be
sure, the unknown alternative heir,
but neither she nor Sister Theresa
was, / imagined, person capable of
hiring an assassin to kill me.
On reflection / dismissed the idea
of appealing to the county authorities,
and / never regretted that resolution.
The seat of Wabana county was 20
miles away, the processes Of law were
unfamiliar, and l wished to avoid pub
,licity. Morgan might, Of course, have
been easily disposed of by an appeal
to the Anmandale constable, but now
that I suspected Pickering of treach-
cry the caretaker's Importance dwin-
died. had wanted all my life for
chance at Arthur Pickering, and in
this affair / hoped to draw him into
the open and settle with him.
l slept presently but woke at my
usual hour. and after a tub felt ready
for another day. Bates served me,
as usual, breakfast that gave a fair
aspect to the morning. / was alert
for any sign of perturbation in him;
but I had already decided that /
might as well look for emotion in
stone wall as in this placid, colorless
serving man. I had no reason to sus-
pect him of completely in the nights
affair, but had no faith in him, and
merely waited until he should show
mis- hand.
BY my plate next morning found
this note, written in clear, bold,
womans hand:

THE CLANCY TABLET ROW.

President Roosevelt has been drawn into the controversy over the Clancy tablet of washington at Prayer at Valley Forge" which was to have been unveiled on the Wal street side of the sub-treasury by the Lafyette Post of the Grand Army of the Republic on Washington's Birthday The President has decided that because the taplet was a replica he could not grant per- mission for its unyeiling. Lafayette Post has made elaborate preparations for the ceremony, not the least expen- sive of which was sending out en- graved invitations. The parade pre- ceeding the uneiling was to consist of the Washington Colonial Guards, de- b3Chments from Governors Island and the navy yard, and Lafayette Post and the Hebrew orphan Asylum Bands. MT. Clancy of the washington Guards and the Lafayette Post, had k. d. Kelly, the sculptor, carry out nn idea of this town in the execution of the tablet. It showed Washington kneeling in a forest praying with up- lifted gloved hands. while his horse looked on. The original tablet was put in the Fffty-seyenth Y. M c. A. It was purposed to set duplicate of the tablet on the base of the eastern column of the Wall Street side of the sub-Treasury. As planned, the tablet was to bear the name of Jonh J. Clancy
 the donor. It was found that laws pre- vent putting on the name of any lIv-
 ing man. When Mir. Clancy had his
 name taken from the tablet 1t was
 thought that the matter was settled

A TEAcHERs L.Asr REsoRr


 By the laws of Maryland corporal punishment in the public schools of that state is forbidden. This prohibi- tion was much condemned by certain of the teachers with ld-fashloned ideas, especially by a teacher in one of the schools of the Eastern Shore some years ago He was a strapping big fellow, and it was luckily for his pupils, who were rather a tough lot, that they were protected by the aforementioned law.
 The teacher did the best he could, under the circumstances, but, moral suasion proving of little avail, he finally laid his case before the board of trustees.
 Gentlemen" said he, after recital of his tirals, those boys must be licked"
 You can't do that" replied the chairman
 "Then you must assist me in con trolling them"
 That, sir" observed the chairman testify lis what you are employed to do,'
 Tn that case, continued the teacher ''you must allow me to lick them"
 Corporal punishment is against the law" insisted the chairman.
 "Then, gentlemen" concluded the teacher, with considerable emphasis someone must be liked; and want to say right here that the next time have trouble with my boys I'm going to lick Ia trustee, As I have trouble about once a day each one of you may expect, on the average, one licking per week I reckon there's no law aginst thta. a.'-Rochester Herald.

STILL LA MYSTERY.

Sun spots have been a subject of i'm vestigation and speculation by as tromers for a long time, yet they re- main about as much of a mystery as ever, their cause and origin being still unsettled, as also whether they serve any purposes in the economy of the universe or are more accidental results of evolution, About al that is known of them is that they are subject to a certain law of periodlcity and are con- nected with meteorological disturban- ces on the earth, especially with mag netic storms and auroras. The gener- ally accepted theory is that they are depressions in the incandescent mat ter surrounding the sun, caused by the downfall of cool material from the up per regions of the solar atmosphere to be soon absorbed and converted into light and heat.
 Accodinrg to this theory the spots are not really spots but are merely temporary disturbances in the lumi- nous surface of the sun which must begin to diminish as soon as they ap- pear and soon pass away altogether, to be followed by others. But where the new matters of raw material comes from is past human ken. In the same way the connection between sun spot and meteorological disturbances on the earth is a well-established fact, but as-
 tronomers only knew that 1t Is cleo
 trical and they cannot tell in any case what the particular result will be.-In- dianapolis News.
