After an instant Of surprise she re-
membered that Mrs. Hawley had In
structed her. to leave the back door
key at home that day and to let her.
self in at the front door with the. key
which she would find under the car
pet on the first step of the stairway
which led to the third floor.
Stopping just long enough to catch
her breath and to deposit her packages
on the refrigerator outside the kitchen
door, Gunhilda made her way down
again and around the building to the
front, where she found the key rs d.
rected and let herself in.
That was just ten minutes before
Mrs. Hawley came home. During
these ten minutes Gunhilda's voice
was lifted up In walls that brought
the inmates Of several other flats to
inquire who was being murdered.
The cause of these walls was that,
while Gunhilda was on her way from
the back door to the front, some one
had snatched and run away with the
bundles she had left on the refrigera-
tor-precious bundles, one containing
new lingerie waist and the other
dress goods for an Alice blue suit.
"Oh, Mees Hawley, 1t was a so
pretty Aylees blue!" Gunhilda reiter-
ated through her tears, evidently feel
ing that the color lent blackness to the
. crime II not know this was stealing
place!"
There, there. Gunhilda! It's not
stolen, There's some mistake; we
shall find it." Mrs. Hawley spoke
soothingly.
After thorough investigation, how
ever, she was almost ready to admit
that Gunhilda might be right. Then
she discovered the laundry bundle
which should have been taken away
that day and went straight to the tele-
phone.
The wagon was still out, she learned
from the laundry. She might call up
again in an hour. Through that hour
Gunhilda's tears flowed copiously.
Wen find your things safe at the
laundry, Gunhilda," Mrs. Hawley kept
answering THE man must have come
up and taken them, thinking they were
the soiled clothes put out there for
aim"
But when the hour had ended back
came word that no bundle of any sort
had been collected from the Hawley
fiat that day.
Nov, Gunhilda," said Mrs. Hawley,
pitching her voice high in her deter
mination to be understood. Listen
to me. Stealing may happen any
where you 60 but shall send for a
policeman and get him to find the
thief that took your things. Then,
after that, the thieves will keep away
from here. You stay right here and
you will see."
Gunhilda listened unn1oved. Just
how much she understood it was i'm.

Representatives. Care That Inform

Representative Thomas Of MJrth
Carolina is a sure-enough southern
statesman. He Is the type. He en-
bodies It; is it; lives it. And having
made this fat, uneQuivocal statement,
I'm pretty certain that about II other
southern statesmen will quit speaking
to me, says writer in the Washing
ton Star.
Mr.. Thomas is legislator, He legis-
lates In his sleep. Never does he slip a
cog and relax the strain under which
he labors. To him life is one awfully
serious grunt.
T'other day, or maybe twas t'other
week, Mr.. Thomas telephoned up to
the press gallery that he desired to
see the representative of the Evening
Star, as he had a piece of important
news to impart for publication. This
was bit out OF the ordinary, for us
ually when a southern statesman has
anything to impart In the line OF per-
sonal publicity he comes around with
the goods and delivers with much
back-slapping and rib-tickling and
many expressions of regard and es-
TEEN.
But, anyhow, l chased down to see
Mr.. Thomas, full of anticipation and
news instinct, and sent in for him. In
the course of quarter of an hour or
so he came out, placed his hand upon
NM c6naI1dnY, IN n nnfrnni1in0
and smiled seriously upon me.
Young man." he inquired, you are,
! take it, the Star representative
here?"
admitted 1t.
You are their regular man."
YES"
The reason l ask" continued Mr..
Thomas, is merely that continually
have trouble with unreliable members
of your profession. For there are many
unreliable ones, are there not?"
/ pleaded guilty, being plumb
crushed.

will not be changed?"
ooh, yes" l whispered, in deep de-
lection.
you may add to this If you wish"
continued: the light of the North Caro-
lima delegation, some of my leading
achievements both here and at home.
Take this and pray see that 1t is pub
lished today"
When | got up in the gallery again I
unfolded the slip of paper which Mr..
Thomas had handed to me. And this
was the item Of news it contained:
MRS. Thomas, wife of Hon. Charles
Randolph Thomas, representative in
congress from the Third district of
North Carolina, and who has been in
the house since the Fifty-sixth con-
gress, has returned to Washington
from visit to her folks"
