diplomatic corps had withdrawn at

night the ballroom held all Of the COM
pany that remained. Armitage had not
sought Shirley again. He found room
that had been set apart for smokers.
threw himself into chair, lighted q
cigar and stared at picture that had
no interest for him whatever. he put
down his cigar afterya few whiffs. and
his hand went to the pocket in which
he. had usually carried his cigarette
case.
".Ah, Mr. Armitage. may offer you a
cigarette?"
He turned to find Chauvenet close at
his side. He had not heard the man
enter, but Chauvenet had been in his
thoughts. and he started slightly at
finding him so near. Chauvenet held
in his white gloved hand a gold cigar
cite case. which he opened with de
liberate care that displayed its embel
lished side. The smooth golden surface
cleaned in the light, the helmet in
blue and the white falcon flashed in
..1.nitase's eyes. The meeting was
clearly by intention, and slight smile
played about Chauvenet's lips in his
ENJOYMENT of the situation. Armitage
smiled up at him in amiable acknowl-
edgment Of his courtesy and rose.

He bent forward, took the outstretch-

moved a cigarette, snapped the case
shut and thrust it into his trousers
pocket-all, as it seemed, at a single
stroke.
"My dear sir" began Chauvenet,
white with rage.
"My dear NJ. Chauvenet," said Armi-
tage, striking match, Il am indebted
to you for returning trinket that !
value highly"
The flame crept half the length OF
the stick while they regarded each
other. Then Armitage raised it to the
tip II his cigarette, lifted his head and
blew cloud of smoke.

MATCHES FOR $4,000.
John w. Gates Loses 4 Big Sum Of
-. Money.

VVuSys
New York, Aug. 11.-Major Chas. w.
Birmingham, of Galveston, came to
New York with shade the Warmest
John W. Gates story that has yet come
to the front and center. The majah,
sab, was telling the boys how JaWn
w. had caught on in Texas and how
easy it would be for him to go to con-
gress If he wanted to make the race.
He added:
1.-The other day Mr.. Gates went over
to neighboring town to attend to
some business. and the boys. hearing
that he was some sport, made up
pot of $4,000 for a poker game. When
Mr.. Gates arrived they gently unfolded
the mild entertainment they had pro-
vided. He looked at his watch and the
roll and said:
"I'm sorry, boys, but I haven't the
time to play you for that roll, but I'll
tell you what I'll do; I'll match you for
It,
"He did match for it and lost He
paid the bet with a check, and bought
a round Of drinks"

WOUNDED NAN coAsTED FAR.
Placed in Sleeping Bag and Slid Down
Side of Mountain.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 11.-with his
leg broken in two places, John A1nder-
son of Little Falls, Ore, was found on
Mount st. Helens by a Seattle party.
To save his life they carried him to
the summit of the mountain and, in an
improvised stretcher made out of
sleeping bag, slid him down the
mountain 1000 feet to the Mazamas
camp, where medical attention was
given him.
Physicians say that had not this ex-

the New American us John Armitage
Cinch Tight. Mont, and took suit
Of rooms high up, with an outlook that
swept Pennsylvania avenue.
1t was on the evening Of brigln
April day that he thus establishe'
himself. and after he had unpacked hi
belongings he stood long at the win
dow and watched the lights leap out O
the dusk over the city. He was il
Washington because Shirley Claiborne
lived there. and he knew that even II
he wished to do SO he could no longc,
throw an air of inftdyertence into his
meetings with her. he had been very
lonely in those days when he first saw
her abroad. The sight Of her had lifted
his mood Of depression, and now. after
those enchanted hours at sea. his COM
ing to Washington had been inevitable.
Many things passed through his mind
as he stood ut the open window. His
life. he felt. could never be again as 1t
had been before, and he sighed deeply
as he recalled his talk with the old
prime minister ut Geneva. Then he
laughed quietly as he remembered
Chauvenet and Durand and the dark
house on the Boulevard Froissart. but
the further recollection Of the attack
made on his life on the deck of the
King Edward sobered him, and he
turned away from the window impa-
tiently. He had seen the sick second
cabin passenger leave the steamer at
New York. but had taken no trouble
either to watch or to avoid him. Very
likely the man was under instructions
and had been told to follow the Clai-
bornes home. aud the thought Of their
identification with himself 10y ais ene-
mics angered him. Chauvenet was
likely to appear In Washington at any
time and would undoubtedly seek the
Claibornes ut once. The fact that the
man was a scou1drel might in some
circumstances have afforded Armitage
comfort. but here again Armitage's
mood grew dark. Jules Chauvenet was
undoubtedly a rascal of shrewd and
dangerous type, but who. pray, was
John Armitage?
The bell in his entry rang and he
flashed, on the lights and opened the
door,
"Well, like this. setting yourself
up here in gloomy splendor and never
saying word. You never deserved t.
have any friends. John Armitage"

Old orchard, Me, Aug. 11.-Amid

which at times approached the aban-
don of a street mob, 5000 men and

Chauvenet's hand went again to his

"But alone-alone one can do little.

Now, in my affairs. would you believe

"How melancholy" exclaimed Chau-

the smoldering crate and bade Chauve-

"Ah. we shall meet again, dare

"The thought does credit to a gen.

WOMAN CENTENARIAN
LIVES IN OREGON

In little Old log cabin on the banks
near the head Of North river. far re-
mote from civilization. lives a little old
woman and her adopted daughter. Mrs.
Charles Mcdonald was born on the
banks Of the Hudson in the year 1922
over 100 years ago she was a rosy
checked girl playing on the banks OF
the blue Hudson. She spent her girl
hood days there. and saw the trial trip
or ROBERT FultOn'S first steamboat. she
remembers when the country rang with
the praise of General George Washing
ton; she remembers the war Of 1872
ana fecaiIs most Of the principal events
that have taken place during her life
time. Mrs, Mcdonald talks intellfgentlv
upon the topics Of the dav She saws
Roosevelt has made the best President
since washington, but admits that he
Is wise in not acCeEting the nomination
for another term. The latter-dav in
Venuons. such as automobiles wireless

Donald she has seen so many things
come true that she believes nothing
impossible In fact. she predicts that
within the next decade passenger trans
porJauon by water and rail win be a
thing OF the past Steam win be sup
planted by electricity or some other az
present unknown power And Mrs Nc
Donald goes still farther In her state
ments. declaring that the chemical ac-
tlon OF dinerent minerals viii be all
that is necessary to revOlve machinery.
She believes that perpetual or vol
untary motion Is possible, and will be
discovered within the next few years,
doing away with the burning Of all
kinds OF fuel She also contends that
aerial navigation viii never be a sue
cess until this discovery, and all money
expended in this direction win be a
total loss.
Speaking about her health, Mrs. Me
Donald SAYS that she has taken no
medicine in the last 100 years. She at
tributes her present good health to her
simple way OF living. remembering that
people get sick because they do not
know how 70 take proper care Of them
