OF THE FRENCH CABINET

Paris. Aug. 2.-An extraordinary
meeting Of tie cabinet to discuss the
Moroccan situation was held this af-
pressed himself in favor of energetic
action by France to secure reparation
for the murder of Europeans at Casa
Blanca and to insure the safety of
Europeans still there. Inasmuch as
France and Spain were charged by
the Algeciras conference to act to-
gether in the matter of policing Casa
Blanca, NJ. PicAon advocated as the
first step proposing to Spain the i'm
mediate landing of French and Span
ish troops at the scene of the massa-
ere. French newspapers, excepting
the Socialistic journals, are una1i-
nous in demanding that the govern
ment take decisive steps to enforce
respect for France in Morocco. Some
newspapers express the opinion that
way La Republique Franchise says
that unless the head of Maelnanin Pa
sha, governor of Casa Blanca is cut
of, genuine holy war is likely to
be precipitated.
Casa Blanca Surrounded by Arabs.
Tangier, Morocco, Aug. 2.-On the

PROBABLY A FAKE.

DesMoines, Iowa, Aug. 2.-''Not
guilty, but don't do it again." was the
verdict of the jury in the trial of a
number of prominent young society
men and women of Des Moines, who
were charged with bathing in a public
place, clad in the Edenic simplicity
of fig leaves At a recent outing on
the banks of Walnut creek, under the
inspiration of a few bottle of extra
dry, the young people decided to
'tstartle the natives" by discardiag
their clothing and substituting there
for narrow bands of leaves cunningly
fashioned by the ladies of the party.
In this abbreviated costume the lead
ers of the Des Moines Smart Set, -
brave in the knowledge that they had
created a new sensation and esta5-
Ifsned a fresh fad, padded in the wa
Ter or rested upon the grassy banks
of the creek.
The natives of the Walnut creek
neighborhood were startled, all right,
and soon caused cold chills to chase
up and down the spinal columns OF

arrest on a charge of disorderly con

arn disciples of Adam and Eve were
acquitted, it was with a warning that
will likely make fg-leaf parties high

again, and grappIed with him; but Ar
thur had learned to use his fists too we'll
at Eton to be in danger from such an
opponent, and heavy blow in the face
again felled him.
Sir Launce threw his arms round his
son and withheld him from repeating the
attack. Dizzy, and half stunned, Wylie
rose to his feet, wiping his livid face
"This is pitiful, paltry revenge" he
said, lowly and quietly, but with a look
of intense hatred in his eyes; this is all
the revenge you can wreak upon me.
do not begrudge it you. Everything you
have in the world will, in a few days,
pass into my hands, and l, whom your
father did not think worthy to sit at his
table, will be master of Penrhyddyn. Not
only have you lost all your worldly pos
sessions, but you have disgraced your an
cient name by your alliance. And, as
a parting consolation to you, know that
the money would have been Forthcoming
at Groom and Fry's had not she, your
wife, contrived the abduction Of the party
who had arranged to pay 1t in. Now,
having afforded you so much pleasant in
formation, will leave you to settle ac-
counts with your father"
So saying, the wretch, with a glance
of bitter triumph, glided out Of the room.
The moment he had gone, Arthur, who
had stood boldly confronting him unto the
last, sank into a chair, utterly overcome
by his emotions.
Sir Launce had gone back to his seat
Suddenly he gave a sharp cry, sprang up
from his chair. pressed his hand upon his
heart, staggered for an instant, and then
fell forward across the table. Arthur
heard the cry, looked up, and perceivine
his fathers condition, ran to him and
raised him in his arms. A glance at the
face made him frantically pull the bel
and shout for help. One Of the walters
ran for a doctor. When the doctor ar
rived the countenance was of an asher
gray hue, the jaw had dropped, and the
eyes were glazed. He raised the nerveless
hand and felt for the pulse-there was

CHAPTER XVI.

When Arthur arrived at the hotel at
which Sir Launce was staying, a waiter
informed him that a gentleman of the
name of Mr.. Wylie had just been shown
up to his fathers room.. This news set
his heart beating as he FASTENED up the
stairs.
Il am delighted that your son has ar
rived" said Mr.. 'Wylie, with a malicious
grin, as the young man entered the room
"as l have certain things to say which
concern him. So, Sir Launce, you have
no hope of having the mortgage money by
the thirtieth?"
None whatever, SIR" answered Sir
Launce coldly; "but think common de-
cency might have delayed your visit un-
til that day. Besides, my lawyers are the
proper persons for you to treat with"
Il always like to take time by the fore
lock, and deal with principals, Sir
Launce," sneered Wylie; "and, after all,
forty-eight hours do not make much diff
ference"
IF l were to ask you for forty-eight
hours grace, you would think they made
a great difference"
Quite right, Sir Launce I should"
answered Wylie, with an insolent laugh +;
and you would not get them if you did
ask"
MY father is not likely to ask any
grace of you, and if your business is end
ed, | command you to leave the room !''
cried Arthur, passionately.
Before | retire. allow me to ask how
Mrs. Penrhyddyn is this mornng?" said
Wylie, turning upon him with hideous
grin.
Arthur staggered back as though he had
been shot, and Sir Launce looked up
wondering,J.
"Oh, perceive" went on the wretch !;
Il have been indiscreet-I have betrayed
a secret. Sir Launce, presume, has not
been introduced to his daughter-in- law
"a pleasure to come"
: Arthur, what does this mcan?" said
Sir Launce, wonderingiy.
Il cannot speak before this man." an
swered the son, in low voice.
"Oh, you need not fear speaking before
me-" cried Wylie, ironically. "Your wife
was my client for some years before she
inveigled that battered old reprobate Cas-
tleton into marrying her. l knew her
when she was ballet girl"
Leave the room, STRIP Sir Launce
said, firmly.
"Not till you have heard all I" cried
Wylie, exultingly. "That woman Is a
forger, and thief; and, before tomorrow
morning I'll lodge her in a goal as
felon"
A blow from Arthur, who had loosed
himself from his fathers hold, laid the
calumniator PROSTATE upon the floor.
With . yell Of passion, Wylis sprang up

hesitatingly, and does not dismount from
his box.
I'D rather you got another cab, miss"
he says.
What do you mean, fellow?" she
cries, imperiously; for, in the present
overwrought condition OF her nerves, she
cannot endure to be opposed. "If you

"Oh, very well, miss; If you insist,
there's nothing more to be said. But if
anything happens, it amt my fault; l
wash my hands of it. You'd better keep
the winders down."
But she is too much absorbed in her
own thoughts to heed or even hear his
words.

their selves such airs, let 'em take the
consekevences," mutters the driver, as
he remounts the box. After all, why

He puts her down at the corner of the
street in which Mr.. Wylie's Office stands.
She pays the fare, then walks the rest
of the way, goes up the stairs, and into
the outer Office. Mr.. Fig and the junior
clerk are there. Mr.. Wylie is not in,
Mr.. Fig informs her-will not be there
again this week.
She takes another cab and is driven
home. When she arrives there she has
