GOVERNOR Is NON-CONIMUTTAL
About Extra Session, But Is Inter-
viewing Members On Subject.

Tallahassee, Florida, Oct IL
The rumors OF an extra session o
IS now said that the session will be
called for the latter part of the
month. The Governor remains non
committal, but il is understood that
he Is interviewing members OF the
Legislature on the subject and ac-
cording 70 report there IS very likely
to be g session. The reasons for the
session are apparent In the insulfici-
ency of the funds provided TO mect
the appropriations.
The appropriations could be indeh-
nitcly held up BY the Board OF State
Institutions, and this action has been
taken so far. SO that none Of the ap-
propriatious save one or two small
ones have been paid. The Controller
even served notice on the Governor
hat the bills for the mansion furni-
lure would not be paid. but ipasmuCA
as the notice was not served until after
the furniture was purchased that
matter was adjuste6< The present
! status Is that all appropriations arc
( held up with no immediate prospect

Norah had last them in the hour of her part

But on the corner of the banqueting table lay
little red book open
The eyes of the two girls wandered round the
walls to find the hiding place of the being who had
mounted into the statue, illuminated it. and then
vanished. But there not shelter for the shadow
of ghost. Every detail of the room stood plainly
revealed under the dazzling beams of the electric
cluster, and nothing could be than that it
held no possible place of concealment,-no cup

back into the anteroom and opened the door of
the service room to the left; but that equally
empty.

by they knew not what. They alone in the
height of the statue, high above the elm tops they
were alone; yet some one had preceded them and
lit the interior, and faded into nothingness.
What is that book" Mlicent asked
She advanced to the table and cast eye

1mpassoned energy that flying zeal which had car
RED her to the statue, was spent and gone.
We shall go down again, dearest, said Millicent
soothngly.
As they emerged into the night air they encoun-
tered Emile, who had been vainly trying to force
open the door of the statue.
Oh Emile!" Micent exclaimed amey
Il came quickly as | could, said the Young
man in tone which Milcent had never heard
from his lips before. Il could not leave Lady Mary
instantly. No one knew where you were. l sent

Il perceive it, Emile retorted gr.-2ly. And
then?''
There is no one in the statue. But the lights
are burning"
Il will go up myself He pushed past them
almost rudely.
Micent made if to follow him.
PLEASE stay here!" he commanded, glaring
angrily at her.
Mlicent stayed
In quarter of an hour Emile redescended.
You said the lights were burning?' he began.
They were burning when went up. and l
left them burning.
There were no lights burning when l went up"
said Emile.
Did you bring down the little red book?" Mill
cent asked him.
What little red book?''
"A notebook lying on the corner of the table"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-09-08

Are YOU sure.
Yes. We,saw it lying the table. There were
a lot of figures written in it
Il turned on the lights, and thoroughly searched
the room, and am perfectly convinced that there
was no book on the table. | remember distinctly
that there was nothing the table at all. III see

to be moving quickly Emile and Mcent. side by

few moments Millicent threw timd glance or
rather an inundated glance, from time to time

She obeyed and sighed What is the matter

Why did you go to the statue alone? Did l
tell you to do nothing till l came?" He stopped
and she was obliged to stop.
Norah would go, she excused herself; and

And then he was kissing her, assault
ing her with a fire of kisses that burned
her cheeks and her mouth What
would she not have given to wrench
herself away from him, and play the
part of the outraged maiden? But
she could not. Her strength of will
and her strength of body seemed to
ebb away from her She shut her
eyes. She lay limp in those violent
and cruel arms. She could feel her
heart beating against his.
=" love you'll" he muttered as if in
agony, Il love you'll And you might
have been killed."
Now, if ever. she must prove to this
Frenchman, in whom a devil seemed
to have been suddenly let loose that
his behavior was ineXCusable and
without hope of pardon, that he had
insulted her beyond forgiveness. But
she could not. She could not sum-
mon up in herself the power to prove
to him his incredible madness.
"Oh, Emilel" she murmured, and
wept, and he kissed her eyes.
Such was the brief and breathless
wooing of Millicent Courlander. Had
anyone dared to predict to her that
she would be SO wooed, she would
have annihilated the prophet with one
glance of disdain. But none knows
the possibilities of his nature None
knows to what he may comel That
Emile Berger would one day have won
Milicent for his own, no sagacious
observer would have positively denied,
But that he would win her in such a
way, by an incorporate masculine
dominance that amounted almost to
brutality, had appeared an unimagina-
bic impossibility. And if there was
one person more astounded than Mill
cent, it was Emile
When he had resumed possession
OF himself, he was afraid He became

one has to do is to touch this button"
Millicent entered. Norah closed
the grille, touched the button, and
the elevator leaped up toward the
mystery of the statue. In a moment
it came to rest with d jerk. Norah
opened the grille and emerged into
the anteroom of the great chamber of
the statue. The door of the chamber
was slightly ajar, and through the
aperture came the radiance which
Millicent had observed from the bot
tom
Then neither of them moved nor
spoke. There was no sound, no muir
muir of life, from the chamber whose
secrets the door screened.
Who is there?" 1t was Millicent's
clear voice, loud and firm, that broke
the silence.
No answer; no breath; no stir.
Who is there?" Millicent de-
manded again.
No reply Only disconcertirg,
uncanny silence
Il am going in" said Millicent,
with decision.
And she pushed open the IJor with
a hand that was courageous bat trem-
bling and entered Norah was at her
shoulder,
