hair goods store, with folks who run
in here, look around for a minute, say
oh and then dash out. A lot of them
do that in the course of the day, ex-
pecting that they are going to find
something else here than hair store.
AS soon as they get in they remember
and run out.
"The thing is, there used to be
bank on this corner for many months,
and when it moved, only few weeks
ago. we took the site. Well, a lot of
people instinctively drop in here with
their money or their books, all ready
to deposit money or to draw 1t out
That's what gets them, when they re

But it has been fairly good thing
for us in a business way, too, I'm
bound to say There were many
many women depositors in that bank,

In the making of the schedules of the
tariff bill Mr.. Aldrich had his way on
everything with the exception of the
tariff on petroleum. He knew that the
majority of the Senate would vote
against him upon that question and he
did not present the amendment of the
Committee placing duty on oil. He
had Mr.. Penrose of pennsylvania do
that particular job. 1t wouldn't look
we'll for the father-in-law of John D..
Rockefeller's son to present an amend
ment putting a duty on oil, especially
when it was going down to defeat.
The schedules of the tariff bill have
been completed and it is a revision up
ward. At the time of writing this let
ter it is not possible to give complete
summary of just what that upward re-
vision is, but as there have been many
upward changes made since Senator
La Toilette presented the complete
analysis of the Senate bill two weeks
ago it can be safely said that the
tariff remains unchanged from the
Dingley rates upon rs per cent of the
total importations, that it is raised
upon 16 per cent and lowered upon 9
per cent. These figures are given in
general way. Senator La Toilette
hopes to work on it detailed state
ment showing the effect of every
change that has been made by the
bill.

The great gap that has arisen be-
tween the Republican Senators of the
middle West and those allied with the
Senate Republican organization is Civ

some, too, it is source of worry and
concern. In the House there was a
breach that was very similar. More
over, there has been lack of cohesion
among the Democrats both in the
Senate and House. The revolt of

After fortifying themselves with this

low and fast. in his excitement his
voice was raised and Anderson heard
him say distinctly. "T'vc tried TO see

else has poisoned her mind against me-
and it's no use. I've given up this
deal entirely, and I don't care how
quickly il all ends.

Anderson was in thc interim care
fully going over the strings which he
had nnravcled. and shaping up the story
which he should tell to the manager
and his guests when he would have the
mystery come TO an end, so that when
he arrived at the hotel he was fairly

ductions. He carefully read Ned

on the openings which had been left
him by Bismarck Snyder, and then, one
by ono. he went through the chapters
which bad been pulled of during the
entire development of the mystery.

The boy came up 10 the Investigator,

standing in the lobby. and walking to
HIM he said in vi]lainously angry
voice:
Charles Remington, you have one
more appearance in this mystery. Miss
