explained by an article which appeared in The

2 Washington headline and which marked the

thousand words. written as was then Informed

time private secretary TO the Speaker of the
House inclose copy Of certain extracts from
the article. marked Appendix B." 1t contained
an utterly unwarranted attack the Secret
Service division of the Treasury Department
and its chief The opening paragraph includes,
for instance. statements like the following:
He (the chief Of the divlsion) and his men
are desrOus of doing the secret detective
work for the whole government and are not
particular about drawing the line between
the lawmakers and the laWbreakers. They
are ready to shadow the former well
the latter.
Then. after saying that Congress will insist
that the men shall only be used to stop counter
feting, the article goes on:
Congress does not intend to have Fouche
or any other kind of minister of police to
be used by the executive departments
against the legislative branch of the gov
ernment. IT has been so used, and Ii Is sus-
pecied that it has been SO used recently.

Eyes, my lad; in what way can


serve you?" and Ardmore put down
his jug and leaned over the guard rail
1t was just as easy to be the governor
as the governors private secretary,
and his vanity was touched by the
readiness with which the boy accepted
him in his new role. His costume,
vaguely discernible in the vestibule,
light, evidently struck the lad as be-
ing some amazing robe of state affect
ed by governors. The youngster was
lifting something, and he now held up
to Ardmore jug, as like the other
as one pea resembles another
"Pa amt home and ma says hyehs
yer jug O. buttermilk."
Thank you, my lad. While ! regret

to present my compliments to your

He had transferred his money to his
dressing-gown on leaving his berth,
and he now tossed silver dollar to
the boy, who caught it with yell of
delieht and scampered off into the
night.
Ardmore had dropped the jugs care
lessly into the vestibule and he was
surveying them critically when the
train started. The wheels were begin
ming to grind reluctantly when cry
down the track arrested his attention
man was flying after the train
shouting at the top of his lungs. He
ran, caught hold of the rail and
howled:
"The gov'nor amt on they, Gimme
back my jug"
"Indian-giver." yelled Ardmore. He
stopped down, picked up the first jug
that came to hand, and dropped it into
the mans outstretched arms.
The porter, hearing some voices,
rushed out upon Ardmore, who held
the remaining jug to the light, scrutin-
izing it carefully.
Please put this away for me, por-
ter. It's a little gift from an old army
friend
Then Nh. Ardmore returned to his
berth, fully pleased with his adven-
lures and slept until the porter gave
warning of Raleigh.

kildare was a familiar name and

Kildare was a familiar name, and
the station, that lay at the outskirts
of the town, and long grim bar
racks-like building that he identified
as cotton mill, recalled the fact that
he was not far from his own ample
acres which lay off somewhere to the
westward He had occasionally taken
this route from the north in going to

this way he was enabled to go or

little village of Ardsley
The porter left him. He felt ready
to bed as soon as the train started.
Just then dark shadow appeared in
the track and a mans voice asked
cautiously:
Air y'u the CONDUCTOR"
The questioner saw that he was not
before Ardmore could reply, and hes
itated a moment.
The porter's in the car; you can
get aboard up forward" Ardmore sug-
gested.

field. He'll understand and the man
vanished as mysteriously as he had
appeared leaving Ardmore holding
the jug by its handle, and feeling a
little dazed by the transaction.
The train fingered and Ardmore
was specializing as to which one of
the Carolina commemorative was be-
meath him, when another figure ap-
peared below in the track-that of a
bareheaded, tousled boy this time. He
stared up at Ardmore sleepily, having
apparently been reused on the arrival
Of the train.

two bags, and little brown Jug,
reached the Guilford House, Raleigh,
at eight o'clock in the morning. Ard
more had never felt better in his life
he assured himself as he chose a
room with care and intimated to the
landlord his intention of remaining a
week. But for the ill luck of having
his baggage marked he should have
registered himself falsely on the books
of the inn; but feeling that this was
not quite respectable he assured the
landlord, in response to the usual
question, that he was not Ardmore of
New York, but an entirely different
person.

wanting to be taken for any of that

more in a tone of deep disgust
The Gvilford House coffee was not
just what he was used to, but he was
in an amiable humor and enjoyed
hugely the conversation of the com
mercial travellers with whom he took
his breakfast. He did not often es-
cape from himself or the burden of his
family reputation, and these strangers
were profoundly entertaining 1t had
never occurred to Ardmore that man
could be so amiable so early in the
day and his own spirits rallied as he
passed the sugar, abused the hot
bread and nodded his approval of bit
ter filings at the inns of other southern
towns of whose existence he only
vaguely knew. They spoke of the pres
ident of the United States and of var
ious old world monarchs in familiar
tone that was decidedly novel and
refreshing: and he felt that it was a
great privilege to sit at meat with
these blithe spirits. Commercial trav.
elers, he now realized, were more like
strolling players, the wandering
knights, the cloaked riders approach
ing lonely inns at night, than any
other beings he had met out Of books.
1t was with the severest self-denial
that he resisted an impulse to invite
them all to visit him at Ardsley or to
use his house in Fifth Avenue when
ever they pleased. When the man
