President Roosevelt, in a letter to
DR.. Lyman Abbott, put himself down
as a mild advocate of women's suf-

 There was a slight pause; buzz: the voice of the switchboard opera tor below stairs repeating the number to central: central's appropriately mechanical reiteration; another buzz; a silence; a prolonged buzz; and again the sounding silence.
 "Hello," he said, softly, into the transmitter at a venture.
 No answer
 "Helloi"
 Then central. irritably: "Go ahead. You've got your party"
 Hello, hello!"
 A faint hum of voices, rising and falling, beat against the walls of his understanding. Were the wires crossed? He lifted an impatient finger to jiggle the hook and call central to order, when-something crashed heavily. He could have likened the sound without a strain of imagination, And then a woman's voice, clear, ac- cents informed with anger and pain: "Nol" and then

 But in it's management tie younger generation holds no suffrage; aud is net slow to declare that the Piimordiai is rightly named, characterizing the individual members of the board of governors as antediluF.ans, prehistoric monsters who have never learned that laughter lends saver to existence.

 Maitland found it dull and depress- ing enough, that same evening, some thing before seven. The spacious and impressive lounging rooms were but sparsely tenanted, other than by the enauied corps of servants; and the few members who had lent the open doors the excuse of their presence were of the elderly type that hides itself behind newspaper in an easy chair and shorts when addressed.
 The young man strolled disconso- lately enough into the billiard room,

Nervousness is often due to some noison formed in the blood by the de composition of undigested food-in other words, often arises primarily from indigestion.
 Nervousness when due to this cause may sometimes continue through many years without causing danger ous conditions On the other hand nervous disturbances due to this auto intoxieation or self-poisoning may be immediately fatal
 Many people, however. suffer from nervous indigestion" as they call it, for 20 years or more without fatal ter imitation. In these cases there is of course a gradual weakening of the general system which predisposes to many diseases. and death is always premature. usually being traceable to what is called heart failure.

CHAPTER X.
Consequences.

Breathing convulsively, wide eyes a little wildly fixed upon his face in the lamplight. the girl stumbled to her feet, and for a moment remained cow ering against the wall. terribly shaken, hand gripping a corner of the pack ing box for support the other pressed against the bosom of her dress as if in attempt forcibly to qnell the mad ham mering of her heart
 In her brain, a turmoil of affriqhted l thought, but one thing stood out clear l ly; now she need look for no mercy The first time it had been different: she had not been a woman had she been unable then to see that the ad- venture intrigued Maitland with it's spice of novelty, a new sensation, fully as much as she, herself. the pretty woman out of place, interested and at- tracted him. He had enjoyed playing the part, had been amused to lead her to believe him an adventurer of met tie and caliber little inferior to her own-as he understood her; unscrupu- lous, impatient of the bubble of meum-et-tuum, but adroit and keen witted, and distinguished and set apart from the herd by grace of gentle breeding and ehiyalric instincts
 How far he might or might not have let this enjoyment carry him, she had no means of surmising Not very far, not teo far, she was inclined to be- lieve. strongly as she knew her per sonality to have influenced him: not far enough to induce him to trust her out of sight with the jewels He had demonstrated that, to her humiliation.
 The flush of excitement waning, manlike soon had he wearied of the game-siie thought; to her mind, in distorted retrospect, his attitude when leaving her at dawn had been insin- cere, contemptuaus, that of man re- lieyed to be rid of her, relieved to be i able to get away in unprecedented pos l session of his treasure. True, the sug- gestion that they lunch together at 1 Eugene's had been his. But he had 1 forgotten the engagement, if ever he had meant to keep it, if the notion had been more than a whim of the moment with him, And O'Hagan had told her by telephone that Maitland had left h's rooms at enc o'eloek-in ample l time to meet her at the restaurant
 No, he had never intended to come; he had wearied yet. patient with her, true to the ethics of a gentle man he had been content to let her go, rather than to send a detective to take his 1 place.
 And this was something, by the way, to cause her to revise her theory as 10 the manner in which Anisty had managed to steal the jewels. If Matt land had gone abroad at one and with out intending to keep his engagement at Eugene's, then he must have been despoiled before that hour. and with out his knowledge. Surely, if the jewels had besn taken from him with his cognizance, the hue and cry would have been out and Anisty would not have dared to finger so long in the neighborhood.
