He had just realized that he was
fiat-strapped for cash. He had given
his last quarter to the cabby. hours
back. He was registered at a strange
hotel. under an assumed name, un-
able TO beg credit even for his break
fast without declaring his identity and
thereby laying himself open to suspi-
cion, discourtesy insult.
or course there were ways out. He
could telephone Bannerman, or any
other of half a dozen acquaintances, in
the morning; but that involved expla-
nations, and explanations involved
making himself the butt of his circle
for many a weary day.
There was money in his lodgings,
in the Chippendale escritoire; but TO
get 1t he would have to run the gaunt-
let of reporters and detectives which
had already dismayed him in prospect.
O'Hagan-ah!
At the head of his bed was tele-
phone. Impulsively. inconsiderate OF
the hour, he turned to ii.
Give me nine-o-eight-nine Madison,
please" he said; and waited, receiver
TO ear.
There was a slight pause; buzz;
the voice of the switchboard opera
tor below stairs repeating the number
to central; centrals appropriately
mechanical reiteration; another buzz;
a silence; prolonged buzz; and again
the sounding silence.
"Hello!" he said, softly, into the
transmitter, at venture.
No answer.
"Helloi"
Then central, irritably: 60 ahead
You've got your party"
Hello, hello!"
A faint hum of voices, rising and
falling, beat against the walls of his
understanding. Were the wires
crossed? He lifted an impatient finger
to jiggle the hook and call central TO
order, when-something crashed
heavily. He could have likened the
sound, without a strain of imagination
to a chair being violently overturned
And then a woman's voice, clear, ac
cents informed with anger and pain:

desperately 81 say, central, give me
that connection again, please
"Ah, say! what's the matter with
you, anyway? Didn't tell ycu that

Automatically Maitland returned the
receiver to its rest; and rose, white
Tipped and trembling. That woman's

CALLING DOWN THE BoAsTER
Good Little Story Told by William

woman suffrage. Trust him to be in

II once heard Mr.. Howells deliver a
fourth of July grafton IN Maine. The
orator preceding him had boasted a
good deal. Mr.. Howells showed that
some of the mans boasts were even
impious.
"IJe said that these spread-eagle
boasters deserved the rebuke that the
little child administered TO the cack-

The child, angered by the hens con-

consequences.

Breathing convulsively, wide eyes n
little wildly fixed upon his face in the
lamplight, the girl stumbled to her
feet, and for moment remained cow
ering against the wall, terribly shaken,
a hand gripping q corner of the pack
ing box for support. the other pressed
against the bosom Of her dress as If in
attempt forcibly TO quell the mad ham
mering of her heart.
In her brain, turmoil of affrighted
thought, but one thing stood out clear
ly; now she need look for no mercy.
The first time 1t had been different;
she had not been a woman had she
been unable then to see that the ad-
venture intrigued Maitland with its
spice of novelty, new sensation, fully
as much as she, herself. the pretty
woman out of place, interested and at
tracted him. He had enjoyed playing
the part, had been amused TO lead her
to believe him an adventurer OF met
tie and caliber little inferior to her
own-as he understood her: unscrupu-
lous, impatient of the bubble of
Uul anu kOtu-
witted. and distinguished and set apart
from the herd by grace of gentle
breeding and chivalric instincts.
How far he might or might not have
let this enjoyment carry him, she had
no means of surmising. Not very far,
lieve. strongly as she knew her rer-
sonality to have Influenced him: not
far enough to induce him to trust her
out of sight with the jewels. He had
demonstrated that, TO her humiliation
The flush OF excitement waning
game-she thought; to her mind, in
distorted retrospect. his attitude when
leaving her at dawn had been insin-
cerc, contemptuous, that OF a man re-
fieved to be rid of her, relieved TO be
able to get away in unquestioned pos
session of his treasure. True, the sug-
gestion that they lunch together at
Eugenes had been his. But he had
forgotten the engagement, If ever he
had meant to keep 1t, If the notion had
been more than whim of the moment
with him. And O'Hagan had told her
by telephone that Maitland had left
his rooms at one o'clock-in ample
time TO meet her at the restaurant.
No, he had never intended to come;
he had wearied; yet, patient with her,
true to the ethics of a gentle man, he
had been content to let. her go, rather
than to send a detective to take his
place.
And this was something, by the
way, to cause her TO revise her theory
as TO the manner in which Anisty had
managed to steal the Jewels. II Matt
land had gone abroad at one. and with
ont intending to keep his engagement
at Eugenes, then he must have been
despoiIed before that hour, and with
out his knowledge. Surely, II the
jewels had been taken from him with
HIS cognizance, the hue and cry would
have been out and Anisty would not
have dared to linger so long in the
neighborhoodl
To be Just with herself, the girl had
not gone to the restaurant with much
real hope of finding Maitland there.

Nelson and Sullivan Are Set

The judges Of the Utah Jockey club

1t is expected that the details Of the find
ings Of the judges will he made public
today.
Hereafter. with Sullivan up. was the
heavily played favorite Of the day. In
dlcatons pointed to the fact that Nelson
on Strike out wanted Hereafter to win.
however, he wasn't strong enough, and
STRIKE out passed Hereafter and won
the race on his own courage. In the
stretch Sullivan attempted to assist Mel
son In trying TO keep Strike out from
winning the race by Selling Strike outs
rein he did not succeed. and all both
jockeys could do did not keep the plucky
horse from winning the race. II was
rumored yesterday that there was choke
strap on Strike Out designed to assist
Nelson. who is not strong enough in the
arms to meet all requirements
It was learned yesterday that not only
were hundreds Of dollars bet at the track,
but that thousands of dollars were bet
on Hereafter through betting commission
ers at various pool rooms throughout the
country. Hereafter was touted by the
wise ones as a certainty and in cOnse-
quence thousands of dollars Of wise
money was lost. Those who bet evil

obstinate courage of Strike out.
Pending the investigation of the cases
of Nelson and Sullivan they have been
temporarily ruled off the track. They
Will not ride again until their cases have
been definitely decided. II is understood
that the judges Of the course, eager to
prevent the recurrence Of similar sitUa-
tons. are planning to make an example
Of the two boys. and if both are perma-
nently set down it will be no surprise to
those who know the attitude of the
judges.
The two boys are among the cleverest
riders on the track, but several OF their
rides have not been free from suspicion.
Up to the first Of this week Sullivan had
the record of riding the largest number
OF winning mounts of the meeting. Since
the first of the week Nelson has ridden
four winners, which places him at the
head of the list. With these two boys set

photographer of the United States signal
corps, indicate that the balloon New
York operated by A. Holland Forbes,
acting president Of the Aero Club of
America, and Clifford B. Harmon Of
this city, won the national balloon race
which started from Indianapolis last Sat
Urday. The distance covered by Forbes
and Harmon in the New York was 35S
miles, they having landed at Corinth,
Miss, after spending thirty-five hours and
ten minutes in the air.
1t is possible that Forbes and Harmon
will also win the endurance cup, for al
though Carl Fisher, in the balloon Indi-
ana. stayed in the air more than forty
eight hours, he touched land twice to
take on water. 1t is the opinion Of bal
lOonists that this will disqualify Fisher
for the endurance prize.
Mr. Harmon returned to New York yes
terday and announced that he and Mr.
Forbes would make a try for the long
distance record of the world as soon as
arrangements can be completed. He said
the start would be made from either St
Louis OF Kansas City, according to the
quality Of gas to be procured.
