I'm my bank to my personal credit, without any

debt of honor. The checks good

This is farrell shouted the Count, jumping
to his feet. You think to secure Count for the

want title for your daughter,
WHOA, Bill! Steady there!' interrupted Dick.
" 81 have not mentioned my daughters name,
and l advise you not to, either!"
The Count smiled frankly "Of course it is
affairs of hers, he said. Naturally, she is not to
be considered Now you speak sensibly Leaving
like business people"
Yes, we'll leave her out" said Dick. I'll ex-

I'VE Permit Only Our Own Kind to Join the Colony"
ID reference of Count Serristor in the smooth
running of the love affair between Genie and
George Hardee that she would have shown some sign
of her disesteem of the Count when he entered the
room where he had been announced to her and
Dick, had not the actions of her husband changed
her plans
in what was called the little reception room
the second floor and the flooded with the
light of a low but bright early spring sun. As the
Count entered he stood for moment where broad,
honest ray of sunshine fell full on his face. What
that searchlight revealed Dick first, and in
stantly signaed his discovery to Betty The Counts
cheeks delicaely rouged his eyebrows penciled,
and there faint flush of carmne on his lips,
parted in an eager smile
Dick jumped to his feet, grasped the Counts hand
with hearty vgor, pulled chair full into the sun
shine, and without any genteness forced the caller
to be seated where the tetale light displayed arts
aid to his beauty in its best advantage.
Col derned glad fer to meet you'll said Dick,
" Had the honor OF meetin your dad in Paris when
you must been no higher than grasshopper. Knew
your old man we'll Had no idee I'd ever have the
honor of greetin' his kid in my own home"
As matter of fact, Dick had met the elder Count
Serristori, and played cards with that impoverished
nobleman in of the brilliant but vagrant periods
when Monsieur Courvatel not travelling
professional sleight-of-hand artist, yet when his
travels were not without profit. But, matter.
He had won from the old Count, who had not paid.
That detail.
The little visitor actually blnked at the heartiness
of the welcome, the sudden knowledge that this
brusk host knew his father and blinked again at the
staring sunlight He would have liked to change
his seat; but in some marveousy rapid movement
Dick had arranged the unoccupied chairs SO that the
Count could not change easily.
RETTY, the merriest woman that ever helped along
a harmless joke, was sympathetlcally informed of
the situation Dick it. He had signaled some
things to her by rapid cipher, and all else that she
needed to know she knew intuitively. She added
her own ELUSIVE greetings, and for Dicks benefit
drew her fingers her face if using makeup
pencil in stage dressing
Right you are, old girl' said Dick joyously and

FIRE PERHAPS INCENDLARY.
Authorities Investigating One Down in
 Hamilton Street.

The authorities are investigating the mysterious fire which occurred late Saturday afternoon In the cellar of the four-story tenement house at 1S2 Ham, ilton street. The house is principally occupied by Italian families. Some of the tenants, smelling the smoke. went into the cellar to investigate. There they found the woodpile in flames and the lock of the cellar door broken. No. fs fire company was called on a still alarm and quickly extinguished the fire before it had had a chance to spread. The only loss was to the woodpile. but had the fire not been discovered so promptly as it was a serious conf1agra- ton would likely have resulted.
 Not long ago there were number of similar fires in this district and the theory was that they were started by thieves who hoped to rob the building during the excitement following the discovery of the fires No arrests for the offense have yet been made and nothing hes been reported as stolen, That a burglary was committed prior to the fire is evidence by broken lock that was found.

TO WITHDRAW ONE SHIP.
New England Line Curtailment Due
 to Freight Decrease.

Because of curtailment of production by many New England mills and a consequent decrease in freight ship ments, the New England Steamship company will withdraw one vessel from service on the New York & New Bed ford line on Jan. 9, A thrice-a-week service will be maintained thereafter until normal conditions arc restored.
 The sailing days from New Bedford will be Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri days. This arrangement will not de- prive shippers of daily service. how ever, because the Boston Merchants line, the new outside freight line, will have sailings from Boston to New York on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat urdays. To avail themselves of daily service it will only be necessary for shippers to direct the routing of their shipments accordingly.
