have the key to at all. Mr.. Gordon
tells me afterwards it was English pol

register me as a Conservative. Any
way, I've promised to vote for Balfour,
or somebody like that next election; so
I'm goin' to send word to Little Tim

himself, and is always iOokin' for more.
It's about as safe to leave a branch
road out after nightfall when Gordon's
around, as it would be to try to raise
watermelons in Minetta Lane. He grin
ned too, and said something about not
knowing as much about 'em as he did
once.
With that Sir Peter lights up one of
Mr.. Gordon's Key West night-sticks
and cuts adrift on the railroad bust
ness. That made the boss kind of
sick at first. Railroads was something

much high finance about it for me to

it made Mr.. Gordon sit up and take no
tice. He'd peg in a question now and
then, and got the old one so stirred up

There was a sound of revelry by night
from the Calvert cottage. A dozen
neighboring cOttagers had come in for
the impromptu masquerade with which
young Mrs. Calvert and her lively sis
ter Betty Bethany were entertaining
some weekend visitors from town.
When the available people in neigh
borhood are limited in number and
their faces are familiar to the point
OF WEAKNESS, masks and costumes are
a great help toward restoring the ele-
ment of The UnknOwable, which is, af-
ter all, the chief interest in human in
tercOurse.
Mrs. Calvert, who had not masked,
though she had transformed herself
into a demure shepherdess by an impro-
vised crook, shortened skirts and a wide
hat with fluttering strings, lowered on
the outskirts of the laughing crowd and
kept an eye on the shadowy path I'M
der the trees that led up from the sta
ton. Edward was late, ineScusably late
for host, though fortunately his
guests couldn't be sure he was not
among them. She was beginning to
hold down hysterical visions of horri-
BILE accidents, when her anxious eye
caught sight of hand reckoning i'm
periously through a crack of the kit

spirits. shes Tipped out and threw her
self into the arms that were attached

the president and congress for legislation
which will form a code of laws to govern
our business in China.
The president is favorably disposed 10
grant this request. but this will be brought
about only through the commercial bodies
of the country, such as the Commercial
club of Omaha. In working out Mr.. Tafts

Judge LebbIus r.. Whitley is the repre-

other Pacific coast states. If your trans
portation facilities, however, are ample and
cheap across the Pacific 1t opens to you
a market far beyond San Francisco, Seat

So II is interesting for you, as far-sighted
merchants, to make sure that your oriental
transportation interests are ali looked after.

home of his fa~ther-in-law. United States

quently before the Boxer troubles and was
the first American woman who was ever
given an audience by the empress. Mrs.
Conger described the empress as a woman
of commanding presence and a most charm
ing personality.
THE empress was up to recent years
strongly prejudiced against the incursions
Of foreigners into China, but in later years
she became broadly liberal and was thor
oughly imbued with progressive ideas. She
saw the advantage of China breaking away
from the exclusiveness that had character
lied governmental policies for centuries
previous and was foremost in the ranks Of
the progressionists as she had previously
been in those Of the reactionarles."
Woman of Noble Impulses.
she was a woman of many noble i'm
pulses and was not by any means the
fierce ogre she is depicted as being by those
unfriendly to her. She was unquestionably
the best informed woman on international
governmental policies of the world. She be-
lieved in the awakening of China and that
this awakening could only be brought about
by more friendly relations with the modern
western powers, and this in her later years

that until he recently began his use Of

considered honest and trustworthy. He
used his Elk membership and the ''old &C

she sought to bring about. She was ambi-
tious, and evidently desired to perpetuate
her dominating Influence over China for Its
good. 1t was she that chose the young son
Of Prime Chun as the heir apparent of
China, and she hoped to live long enough
to mold him into a ruler after her own
heart. 1t is possible that she had in the
long years Of her rule over China 30 estab-
lished her policies that they will be contin-

CIIINA'S REGENT STRONG MAN
Commercial Club Members Hear of
Oriental Conditions.
LEWIS PRAISES TAFT HIGHLY
Shanghai, China, Man Pleads for
Omaha Influence on Congress To-
ward Establishing "a Code
of Laws.

"President-elect Taft has done a greater
work in the orient and stands higher than
any living statesman In the estimation of
oriental people," declared Robert Lewis of
Shanghai in his address Friday noon to
$50 members of the Commercial club on
Politics and Trade with the Orient" Mr..
Lewis has been secretary for many years
OF the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.
Not the least interesting portion of his
brief, but comprehensive remarks, had to
do with the situation in China resulting
from the death of the dowager and en-
press. However this was arranged said
Mr.. Lewis with a smile, ''the emperor for
tunately died first, officially, and the yer
million pen of that extraordinary woma
designated a 3-year-old boy as the rule
to come. but she named as regent the on
prince OF the blood imperial. who is at one
q ylrile man, son of a virile father and IL
only prince In sympathy with constitution
government and progressive IDEAS"
The chief theme of the address was a
statement of the needs Of American bust
ness interests In China, with particular
reference to the establishment OF some
code OF law by congress and the housing
of American c~onsuls. postmasters and
courts in quarters that are at least re-
spectacle. 1t was in this connection that
Mr.. Lewis mentioned the fact that yester-
day he received two cables from China
urging him to see the president on these
matters. Mr., Lewis is a friend of Roose-
welt. and he well may be, for aside from
many other qualifications. he Is the father
OF eight children, and that is going the
president three better.
