had revelation, sudden and clear.
Tor ne had watched Lady Maud and
kralinsky all day and had thought
about them a good deal. considering
new his mind was occupied with other
matters even nearer to his heart than
his best friends welfare. AS soon as
the revelation came upon him he rang
for his OWE man.
"StemP, see herel" he began.
You've valeted around with all sorts
of different looking men How long
does it take to grow a beard like
Count Kralinsky's?"
"A year, sir. Not a day less, and
longer with most gentlemen If you
were thinking Of it, sir"
You don't believe it could be man
aged in three months, by taking an
expert around with you to work on
your face?"
That's out Of the question, sir
Gentlemen's boards that have shaved
all their lives, as l suppose you have.

for the stage?"
mot so that it wouldn't show in
broad daylight, sir"
Well that's all. wasn't exactly
thinking of trying a beard l vas only
thinking-just like that. What rang
for was a cap Got any more like this
You see I've managed to get a spot
of ink on this one, fad 1t on the
table when I was writing, I suppose
That's the worst of white caps, they

A little later, Mr. Van Torp was
looking out for a chance to speak
alone with Lady Maud, and as soon
as he found his opportunity he told
her what Stemp had said. Strangely
enough, it had never occurred to him
that such remarkable beard as Kra
Knsky's must have taken a long time
to grow. and that Leyen, who had
none, had not left London more than
three months ago. He watched the
effect of this statement on his friend S
face, but to his surprise she remained
grave and sad.

tone of conviction HE must be

his beard"
Well. then it's a false beard. and

Torp. with at least equal gravity
'Stsmp says that's impossible, but he
must be wrong, unless you are
Its real" Lady Maud said, "and
he is my husband I've talked to hin
all day, and he knows things about
my life that no one else could. and il
there are others about which be IL

pretending, and does not want q

Van Torp shook his head, but re

not change her mind either, and was

to speak out and tell Kralinsky thai
she had recognized him under his

she must know the worst, if she wal

TOM PEDRO BELIEVES
IN A CELEBRATION
At Least He Did Until Detective
O'Brien Caught Him
At IL

The only arrest this morning for at
tempting to celebrate the Glorious
Fourth in the old-fashioned manner was
made by Central Onice Detective Pat
O'Brien.
Tom Pedro, an Italian, who hasn't
been ia this country long. was having
the time OF his life with a .32-caIiber
revolver and d pocket full OF blank
cartridges, when the detective told him
he was wanted at headquarters.
Tom lives at 3I2 Thirteen-and-a-half
street. Today being a holiday he didn't
set the alarm clock for o'clock, and it
was nearly noon before he woke up,
Just 10 let the neighborhOod know that
he was out of bed, ne went to the win
dow and began firing the revolver. He
marked the progress OF Ms dressing by
emptying a revolver full of shells out of
the window every time he put on a gar
ment, and when he was fully dressed
he went out in the front yard and again
opened fire.
Telephone messages began pouring into
headquarters that man was trying 20
'shoot up the neighborhoOd, but Tom
insisted that he supposed ii was the
proper thing TO do on the Fourth.

Trowt. City Clerk Herrick. and Post
master Norwood were among the
notable citizens at the station to say
farewell to President Taft when he left
for Boston and Norwich at 6:45 O'Clock
this morning.
Every one take off your hats" cried
the mayor, and everyone that had a hat
obeyed. The mayor had a speech all
ready TO deliver. but did not have an
opportunity to get 1t out of his system.
He had the same speech at his tongue S
end yesterday when to President ar
rived, but was foiled in his attempt to
deliver 1t by the Pres tents chauffeur,
who unkindly turned on the power of
the automobile and dragged Mr.. Taft
out Of ear shot
We're going to give the President
the time of his life here this summer"
announced Mayor Trowt. and if he
does not enjoy himself it won't be our
fault. We are going to keep every un-
desirable citizen away from his summer
cottage, and will spend all kinds Of
money to keep the roads in good shape
for his automobile"
Four Secret Service men are now on
duty about the Evans cottage, and
when the President arrives for his va
cation this force will be doubled.

Earthquake Leaves.

ROME, July 5.-FoIlowing several
severe earthquake shocks. fire has
broken out in the ruined city of Mes

pie hsving fed in panic before the
flames.
The fire is reported to be spreading
rapidly over the ruins. and consuming
the temporary structures erected by the
survivors who have zone back into the
wrecked town.
There seems little possibility OF stop-
ping the fire until it burns itself out,
as tise unsatisfactory work of the COM
mittees on reconstruction and relief has
failed to provide an adequate means Of
meeting such an emergency.
So far as reported the loss of life IS
not heavy. but the terror of the already
stricken and physically depleted people
is beyond control.
The exodus from the ruins Is reported
to be similar TO that following the great
calamity, Though, OF course. on q small

ping Industry Causes Trou-
bic in Sicily.

ROME. July 5-Incomplete reports
from Palermo. Sicily. say that violent
rioting has broken out in many parts
OF the city following the imposition Of
a new tax assessed for the benefit OF
the shipping industry.
The people were bitterly opposed TO
the tax ana fought against it step by
step. The authorities had their way,
however, and since the decision of the
government was announced, there has
been constant danger Of an outbreak.
Early today, crowds Of workmen gath
cred at various places and proceeded to
march through the streets, crying out
against the government and making
threats against the officials responsible
for the tax.
As they marched, they were cheered
by the women and children and the
old men unable to join in the demon
stration. This encouragement led them
to more violent demonstrations and soon
there was danger OF an attack upon the
residences and offices of officials. The
police and soldiers were ordered out,
but their presence did not stay the vio-
lence OF the mob until the soldiers,
armed with carbines. charged the lead
ers of the procession.
a sharp clash followed in which the
workmen suffered heavily.
The w0rHmen were driven hack. but
Ii was believed that they would reas-
semble and there was fear Of another
and more serious engagement.

Alleged 'Leper" in New
York Arranging to Seek
Damages in Court.
PATIENT is FREE
TO ROAM HOSPITAL
He's No Leper," Say Physicians.
Mrs. Early Goes to Sea Shore.
Expects Husband Soon.
By WALTER ]. FAHY.

NEW YORK, July 5.---The
government of the District of Co
lumbia will be made the defendant
in a suit for heavy damages.
The suit will be brought by John
Early, who, for nearly a year, was
characterized by the health officials
of the Capital as a leper, and who
was isolated in the detention camp
on the Eastern Branch.
The principal allegation in the
suit will be that Early was illegally
made a prisoner and deprived of his
rights as an American citizen. The
amount which viii be claimed by
Early to recompense him for his $50
lation has not yet been decided
upon, but it is believed that the
figures will not be less than $4,000.
Basis for Suit.
The basis OF the suit win not rest on
the original diagnosis Of Early's case
by the private physician who was the
first TO pronounce him a Ieper and the
confirmation Of that diagnosis. although
that phase OF the case viii, Of necessity,
have a bearing on the nature of the
charges. Early Is willing 10 concede
that the District officials are wholly
within their rights IN OBTAINING tIim IN q
tent on the Eastern Branch for a short
tirne IN order that they might thorough
" satisfy themselves as to the exact
nature OF his disease
II viii be COntended by Early's coun-
sci that after several weeks had elapsed,
the District officials continued their
quarantine and imposed regulations re-
gsrding the patients method of living
which deprived him Of all rights.
In Bill Of Charges.
The bill Of charges win further state
that there was not only ample oppor-
tunity for the District health officials
TO satisfy themselves. that Early was
not a leper. but tiiaI specialists. compe-
tent 70 pass upon the case, Informed
the District officials that Early was not
2 leper and that his detention was un-
necessary.
II was learned today that Early's re-
faovai to shis city was not brought
about FOR TIE purpose Of subiecting him
10 q particularly rigorous form OF treat
ment. He was brought here, rather, IN
order that his case against the District
government may be carefully prepared.
Dr. Buckley, who long ago interested
himself in Early's behalf, has arranged
that several Of the most prominent skin
and blood specialists in New York viii
make a most thorough examination of
Early.
Their conclusions. he feels confident,
wlll furnish ample evidence In support
Of HIS declaration that Early is not
now and never has been a leper Early
win not be deprived OF his freedom in
any way In the skin and cancer hos
pltaL he Is the private patient Of DR..
BulkeleY, and can go wherever any
other Ian patient of the institution Is
permitted TO go.

concerned they would be willing To per

In need OF khat? In need OF some

Our city has been in need OF some
one OF this kind for sometime. Yes,
for years, and we have paid out our
money for years for nothing and got
nothing in return. We have streets
in our city and in the heart OF our

Government Way needs to be paw
ed and at once, before any
think else is done on any other
street but it would seem to mo
that some of the humps and holes of
some of the streets In the heart OF
our ct should be fixed mp long be-
fore any parkin gis done on any
street, let alone any street away on
one side OF the city where there Ii
comparatively no travel
We have had a good many fool
plumbers made and lots Of miney
thrown away in this town OF ours,
and 1t is nearly time that there Is o
stop to 1t. II tire Is not a stop
put to 1t soon we will suffer badly,
for there are people moving out of
Occur d'Alene and lots of them talk
ing of going and the management
that we have had here and are hay-
ing has made some so poor that they
cannot get away.
If some one who lives on Gov
eminent Way or near there has an
automobile perhaps that street
should be paved and parked, but
while they are paving and parking
it, it would seem as though they
might go over on Fifth and Indiana
and level up a little around there, so
that a team and wagon can cross,
and If, while they are doing that
they will look around a little they
will find lots OF other places nearly
as bad in the center Of our city.
