to give tea In partial recognition Of
social obligations), the foot Of woman
never crossed its threshold.
In this circumstance, indeed, was
comprised the singular charm the
house had for its occupants. The
quality which insured them privacy
and quiet independence rendered
them oblivious to its many minor
drawbacks, its lack of many conven-
fences and luxuries which have of late
grown to be so commonly regarded as
necessities. 1t boosted, for instance,
no garage; no refrigerating system
maddened those dependent upon it; a
dissipated electric lighting system
never went out of nights, because it
had never been installed; no BRASS
bound hall boy lounged in desuetude
upon the stoop and took too intimate
and personal an interest in the ten
ants correspondence. The inhabi-
tants, in brief, were free to come and
60 according to the dictates Of their
consciences, unsupervised by neigh.
borly women folk, unhindered by a
parasitic corps of menials not in their
personal employ.
Wherefore was Maitland astonished,
and the more so because of the season.
At any other season of the year he
would readily have accounted for the
phenomenon that now fell under his
observation, on the hypothesis that the
woman was somebody's sister or cous-
in or aunt. But at present that expla-
nation was untenable; Maitland hap
pened to know that not one of the 9th
er men was in New York, barring
himself; and his own presence there
was thing entirely unforeseen.
Still incredulous, he mentally conned
the list: Barnes, who occupied the
first fiat, was travelling on the con-
tinent; Conkling, of the third, had left
fortnight since to join yachting
party on the Mediterranean; Bannister
and Wilkes, of the fourth and fifth
floors, respectively, were in Newport
and Buenos Aires.
"Odd!" concluded Maitland.
So 1t was. She had just closed the
door, one thought; and now stood
poised as If in momentary indecision
on the low stoop, glancing toward
Fifth avenue the while she fumbled
with a refractory button at the wrist
of long white kid glove. Blurred
though it was by the darkling twilight

pretended all these points in the flick

was over in two seconds. In one the
lady's hesitation was resolved; in an
other she had passed down the steps
and swept by Maitland without giving
him a glance, without even the trem
bling of an eyelash. And he had a
view of her back as she moved swiftly
away toward the avenue.
Perplexed, he fingered Upon the
stoop until she had turned the corner;

flight of stairs to his fiat.
Simultaneously heavy feet were to be
heard dumping up the basement steps;
and surmising that the janitor was

man waited, leaning over the balus

Of Bonds to be Used Sure After the
 Election.
 Washington Special to New York World
 An issue of $5OO00.O0 two per cent bonds will be put on the market short ly after election to put the United State Treasury in a more satisfactory condition. More money is needed for the payment of the ordinary expenses of the Government than is being taken in at the custom houses and the h. ternal revenue tax collectors offices
 The issue will be of Panama Canal bonds. Theoretically the money will be used In paying for the construction of that amazingly expensive waterway Actually it will go into the general till and be used for general purposes.
 Reimbursement of the Treasury for expenditures on account of the Panama Canal" will be the form of the on nouncement when Secretary Cortslyou advertises that subscriptions for the issue will be received at the Treasury Department. The assertion will be made that the proceeds will be con- verted into the, Treasury to replace the money taken therefrom to. pay canal construction bills.
 The fact Is and will be that the issue of bonds will be forced by condition similar to that which compelled the is- SudnEe or SOSUUUsuuV OOAAS bJ NAt@ Cleveland Administration. which was one of the sins for which the Republi- cans of the country held the Dem"- cratic party responsible. On that oc- casion the drains on the Treasury in duced by the extravaganza of the pre- ceeding Republican Administration forced Cleveland to issue bonds so that the gold reserve of the country could be kept good
 This time 1t is not the gold reserve that must be made good. It Is the gen eral fund from which the four times as extravagant Roosevelt Administra- ton has been paying it's bills, that Is nearing depletion and must be replen- lshed by the issuance of ''reim burse- ment" bonds charged to the Panama Canal account.
 The working balance in the Treasury to-day stands at less than $30,0O0.0 000. the exact figures being $29,729,110.l5. That Is l.OOO, ,0O0. less than the sum considerer desirable.
 The disparity between income and outcome during the month that came to an end to-day amounted to SlO.670 275. The total for the hcal year which began on July l. is s44,O32.s12, so October.

tually been made and the Harrison ad- ministration was begging financial magnates day by day to tide 1t along until Cleveland's accession; yet Repub- lican pleaders have shown themselves so, dishonest and so presumptious upon popular gullibility as to declare that panic of Democratic origin. It was as truly and exclusively a Republican panic, except for the protracting in-
 iuences of the misguided free silver agitation later, as the panic of 1873. tempts to associate Republican rule with good times in the popular mind and Democratic rule with bad times simply shows what can occasionally be done by persistent misrepresentation when circumstances favor. It was the good fortune of Republicans that their Democratic administrations; 1t was the bad political morals of many Republi- cans which set them at the unfortun- ately easy task of deceiving the un- thinking or the half thinking through misplaced blame. Last year, after more than ten and a half years of complete and unbroken Republican rule, panic and business depression again assailed the country. The effects--much more In some respects as MT. Bryan recently showed by citing bank failure statis- tics, than either the panic of 1873 or the panic of 1893. and not remotely at- trIbutable to any natural cause-are still with us. Just suppose, indeed, that the panic of 1907 had happened under a Democratic administration! It is amusing in the extreme to think of what the country would be hearing now"

 That is one of the hardships that must inevitably result from a full and complete investigation and prosecution of the night-riders and their aiders and aecomplices.
