me number of women SDeculatCrs

even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but Il is q fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rooms for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-.
frances. There are several reasons
lor this. One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, without
the knowledge of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this ac-
count they desire privacy, desire to

Vision Of Gettysburg.

"Some years ago an old man with
silvery hair was led into the cyclorama
of Gettysburg by bright-faced little
girl. Aged and feeble, he sat down,
while the child described to him the
picture. Occasionally he asked her a
question as in doubt of the accuracy of
her account. She had described the
confederate columns and the struggle
at the stone wall, when he asked: But
where's the artillery, MayY DO you
mean the big guns? They're over there
on the hill i'll IL row. All in row."
he asked, Yes she said; there are
some more down here, but they are all
upset. l think they are bursted.' rs

the hill? Yes, grandpa rs there

full of men, but the smoke is SO thick

he cried.
1T was then noticed by some of the
party near him that he was blind. The
little girl answered. o, no, grandpa,
you can't see them Yes, I cam said
the old soldier. Il can see the men, the
grove, and tho broken cannon lying
about The child looked at him in
innocent surprise, and said: You are

last thing I ever saw. There was a

OF the kaiser's disappearance. He
even went further and asserted that
the harness of the horses was the
same which he had seen on that oc.
casion.
The mounted officer was equally Ger
tain that the turnout was that belong,
ing to the embassy, because he had
observed 1t before, and knew the am.
bassador by sight, and this was the
reason why he had made no arrest.
He said that he had been prepared

to run no risk of OBTAINING so impor.
tant parsonage, and contented him
self with following the carriage
throughout its journey and till it was
housed. He then dismounted, and by
a pretext engaged one of the stable
men in conversation, learning thereby
that the ambassador had no horses
other than these two. He had not
deemed it advisable to make any fur.
ther inquiries for fear of arousing sus-
picion.
The head Of the secret service de-
partment saw that he was facing a
very grave responsibility. He sent
messages calling together the most
important men in the government,
and within an hour the findings we're
laid before them. They found them
selves in a singularly embarrassing
predicament. To take any action which
might offend the representative of a
nation which was already engaged IL
triumphant war, and of which the
whole world stood in terror and appre
hension, was something to be avoided.
Even to suggest to the ambassador Of
pected of having abducted the kaiser,
an act of lese majesty in itself, was
something which might arouse that
man to appeal to his home government
and topple Germany itself into an i'm
broglio which could end only in de-
the moment when communication
ceased, had been friendly. Therefore,
there seemed no logical reason for
her taking any such unheard of action
as that of interference with the per-
son of his majesty. The consensus of
opinion was that the situation was too
delicate to admit of any ordinary
methods, and that there was only one
thing to do-keep the embassy under
constant surveillance until by secret
service methods they might learn
what if any connection the ambassa-
dor or those about him had with the
disappearance.
The gypsy received the promised re.
ward, and from that hour on the
American embassy was increasingly
watched day and night from without
and within.

mind again reverting to the vicissl-
tudes of government.

tudes Of government.
His reverie was disturbed by con
versation taking place at the door OF
his box. "The gentleman was very
insistent that it should be delivered
at once, otherwise l should not have
brought it," he heard the manager ot
the theater say apologetically.
rs there no place in the world
where can remain undisturbed?" the
king muttered wearily, and then called
aloud: Send that note in, whatever
1t may be-"
With a salute his equerry handed
him the message, which he idly held
in his hand for few moments before
opening it, looking half abstractedly
out of his hox to where man was
being hoisted aloft and through an
opening in the arched roof above.
More or less indifferently he tore open
the envelope and withdrew card, at
which he stared with a puzzled frown,
as If doubling his senses. Surely this
could be no jest Upon it was
scrawled:
Admiral Robert Bevins of the
United States navy desires a brief
audience with his majesty upon mat
ters which can be discussed in per.
son only. If permissible, may he en-.
Joy the seclusion of his majesty's
box?"
Through the kings mind passed a
succession Of questions. What could
this mean? Would anyone dare per-
petrate joke of this character, and i:
so who would have the temer!ty:
Was it not az absurdity that Admiral
Bevins should be here this night il a
London theater when his countrs was
at war and had practically throw. the
gauntlet into the lists of the cif.liced
world? 1t was impossible! Tat he
would send for this individual Who
by his paltry ruse would infringe uJon
the privacy Of q King and see for HIM
self what SORT of fuLi he was.
"Show HIN in" he said to the equer-
ry, and then expectantly watched the

face an adventurer or an imbecile. Be-
tween the king and the officer whose
name appeared on the card was an
intimacy of more than 80 years
standing. The name alone had suffi.
cient weight to preclude the curt re.
fusal Of such an extraordinary request.
If this was the friend of his younger
days, nothing but an errand of the
utmost Importance could have induced
him to seek an audience under such
circumstances, and, on the contrary,
If his visitor proved to be nonentity
or crank, the guard would give protec'
tion and summary punishment.

body guard. In utter astonishment
that It should be the admiral standing
before him, the sovereign rose from
his seat and took step forward.
They stood for q moment, the king
and the admiral, and then slowly
grasped each others hand, casting the
restrain of situation and the difference
of position completely aside.
"Bevins," the monarch said, "for
Gods sake what brings you here in a
time like this? Is there no limit to
your daring, and nothing at which
your country will hesitate? Do you
come as friend or as an American?
"Both," answered the officer, stand.
ing squarely on his feet and looking
steadily into the gray eyes, which per-
sistently scrutinized him as If seeking
to read the cause of his visit.
There came another instant's pause,
and the king with gesture invited
him to be seated. The guard dis.
creetly withdrew and closed the door
CT the cabinet.
Bevins continued: II must apologize
for intruding upon you; but have
iourneyed long way to deliver q mes
sage which permits of no delay"
I'm an official capacity then?'
queried the monarch dryly.
"Yes, official and friendly. I was
chosen for this mission not only be-
cause of our known friendship, but
for the reason that could explain GER
tain events to you better than any
man living"
The king nearly forgot the distrust
which he had felt first, and almost
yielded to the impulse to drop all cere'
mony and ask his guest for. an expla'
nation then and there. He half rose
and grasped the arms Of his chair. His
lips opened to interrogate, and then
his life's training and restraint re-
suming their hold, his tongue gave a
dry click, and he again assumed q pos
ture Of repose. It was difficult to as
sume an air Of complacence when
every instinct Of king and man called
out to him to ask impetuously the one
before him for the unraveling Of the
skein Of events and the story Of the
