ing his bachelors club. Her auto had
broken down. He fixed IT, BY a ruse she
lost him. Maitland. on reaching home,

CHAPTER lv.-contlnued

The interior of the safe was re.
vealed in a shape little different from
that of the ordinary household strong
box. There were several account
books, ledgers and the like, together
with some packages of docketed bills,
in the pigeon holes. The cash box,
itself a safe within a safN showed a
blank face broken by small combi-
nation dial. Behind this, in a Sc.
creted compartment, the Maitland heir
looms languished, half forgotten of
their needless owner.
The cash box combination offered
less difficulty than had the outer dial.

TIE TILLMAN SCANDAL.

For the Sake Of South Carolina, we
should have been heartily glad had
Senator b. r. Tillman completely
cleared his skirts and freed himself
of the charges made by President
Roosevelt in his report on the secret
service to the Senate. Much as we
disagree with the lifetime policy OF
Tillman, for the sake OF our repre-
scntation in the Council of the Ma
ton. we would that his reputation
might be without tarnish and his
name remain above reproach. But
stauncheSt friends and lifelong ad-
mrers must feel keen disappOint-
mcnt at his weak defense before the
Senate on Monday.
\ complete review of the case is
here IMPOSSIBLE; but suffice it to say
that the President Of the United
States has brought charges against
South Carolina's senior Senator to
the effect that the latter lied to the
Senate and, as a senator has used
his influence for private gain in the
matter OF the Oregon land grab"

abuse Of his high and honorable Of
flee, together with uttering nefari-
GUS falsehood, in disclaiming any ef
fort to buy these lands in Oregon.
From careful reading of the evil
dence submitted by the President, and
studied perusal of Tillman's reply,
one cannot but see the strength of
the former and weakness of the latter.
Tillman did denounce Dorr, the land
agent, as a liar and swindler, knowing
full we'll that the young man had not
lied in advertising the fact that he,
Tillman, had under taken" to pur-
chase some Of the lands. Tillman
stated to the Senate that the use of
his name was a fraud, and that he
had not undertaken to purchase any
OF the lands in question. His own
kilograms and letters contradict that
utterance. AS to his efforts to buy
these tracts, there was nothing wrong
