REYES DELAYS HIS FLIGnT
SANTA MARTANS'. WELCOME
SoLACES FUGITIVE.
Falls Among Friends After Escape
From Hostile Towns-Will Sail
for New York June 25.

NEW YORK, June f9.-President Reyes
of Colombia was not passenger on the
Prinz Sigismund OF the Hamburg Amer
lean lines Atlas service when she arrived
yesterday. as indicated in a dis
patch from Bogota, published yesterday
morning.
According to reports brought by the
liner, Colombia is practically in state
Of revolution. and President Reyes. after
lodging from one place to another in an
effort to reach a haven of safety. was so
overjoyed at his warm welcome to the
ancient town of Santa Marta that he de-
cided to remain there until the next
steamship.
Hounded by Vice President.
Significance attaches TO the reports
brought by the Prinz Sigismund owing to
the fact that the acting president. Gen.
Jorge Holguin. had issued a decree abol-
ishing the Colombian information bureaus
abroad. Because of the great distance
from Bogota to the towns on the sea-
board and the difficulty of communication
1t seems that the news that President
Reyes had not left the country had not
reached the capital.
According to the story brought by the
Prinz Sigismund. Santa Marta was in a
state of great excitement during the stay
of the vessel there. Gen. Holguin, the
vice president. had made things so un-
pleasant for the president that the latter
fed to Cartagena. and it was announced
that he had started on tour of the diff
ferent states.
The rumor brought by the Prinz Sigis-
mund intimated that President Reyes left
Bogota without any apparent intention Of
an immediate return. AT Cartagena IN
stead of getting the expected rest among
friends, he found himself surrounded by
enemies. and. according to report. an at
tempt was made to assasSnate him.
Reyes Plans to Get Away.
President Reyes then fled TO Barran-
auilla, from which town little antiquated
railway runs to Savanilla. where boats
| touch and whence it is easier to get away
than from the land-locked Bay of Carta-
gena. Here the president found senti-
ment just as strong against him, SO with

ilton genuinely distressed and vexed and so was
her husband. 1t kind of slur to their own roof
that such thing should have happened under it.
He and she talked it together and they ar
ranged that detective should be for from London
to Ind If it could really be any of the servants at the
Manor Mrs. Hamilton to suspecting them
but her husband was firm about it.
Don't you see, my dear Alecia that it is not fair
to them, If they all innocent and the thefts were
the work of one of the band the walters from
Blancos, that there should be shadow of doubt
about their innocence? I'm quite certain they would
all prefer that this disagreeabe affair should be cleared
up quickly possible"
"Of course, they will quite understand if you tell
them your reason, assented Mrs. Hamilton.
But her husband shook his fine old gray head "No,
my DEAR l shall not say word to any one but your
self the matter It's better no one should suppose
we have brought detective into the house don't
propose to confde it to SOUL even to Mary not
even to Reginald. 1t will give the detective a freer
hand"
And she was forced to agree with him.
That evening at dinner, Mr.. Hamilton brought in

of Reginalds remained ungahered in the conservatory
And she still held her little proud head and talked
and smiled, and no one could have guessed how her
heart ached.
1t till long past three in the morning, that
ball at the Manor. Every one came down very late to
breakfast. 1t gave time for Mrs. Hamilton to find
whole heap of beside her plate and she began
to read them while Mary made the tea and coffee
for her.
There hundred little daughter tasks that
always Mary's at the Manor and had been hers since
she child almost She thought of giving
them up and would have asked her. least Of all
Miss Chavenage who at all the kind of girl who
liked duties. She expected to be waited The coffee
and tea might have gone unpoured and unhanded, if
she had had to do it.
She sat now, olling back in her chair, and sending
Reginald running to the sideboard every minute for
game pie, or cold ham, fruit, something
Mrs. Hamilton looked up from her notes with mild
astonshment. "How very extraordinary! she said,
with concern. "Why, poor Mrs Athlone's written to
say she lost pearl bracelet last night I'm sorry
James, tell them to look for it,
She took up another note and tore the envelope
open "And, why-Miss Coates writes ask if we've
found her Venetian rosepoint handkerchief know it
quite we'll it her mothers What unfortunate
thing for her to lose! And goodness! Here's Kathy
Banks saying she dropped her necklace and hopes
wasn't injured when picked it up! Has anybody
seen it? never heard of such careless people in my
whole life What girls coming to They to
drop necklaces and handkerchefs and bracelets about

odd"
But it seemed to Mrs. Hamilton considerably
remarkable when the searched the ballroom
and the whole house through, and of the miss
ing articles transpired.
They all old servants, and tried and trusted,
only some hired walters had come down from London
with the supper, and the band was band from the

Colonel and officers. 1t was most unpleasant thing
to have happened in house like the Hamitons-peo-
pie who detested fuss, and would rather their right
hands off than that their guests should have been in

Miss Chavenage interested in the mysterious
affair. She said these things often lost on
their way home from Dances and that peoples maids
horribly careless and often tried to put the blame
off Others She told half dozen stories of vaua-
BILE things she had known dropped int the trimmings
of frocks down cracks behind dressing tables and

hdgeted noiselessy, and the detective laid his hand
on his warningly. Still he could not see the
cabinet for the others shoulder. Then came little

With one accord they dashed the screen to the
floor and rushed out it. In full career Reginald
brought up short, amazed disappointed chagrned for
it was Miss Chavenage who stood there alone in the
WIDE silent dusky drawing room in her white dressing

he kept on repeating. She's walking in her sleep
she doesn't know what she's doing but the detective
held him back. He feeling with the other hand
in his pocket, and he bought out pair of handouts
In second he closed with her, there was a scufle
a smothered cry click, and the handouts were on
her. Something fell to the ground with little tinkle
and he took it up and held it grimy without a
word to Reginald. 1t tiny gisening pistol that
had dropped from her other hand. He stood back
and he chuckled.

he asked, with a shadow of contempt in his voice
I've wanted you good long while. Why, Mr.. Haml-
ton this woman is notorious thief and adventures
She is one of the gang we've hunted through half
Europe"
Reginald still fought to discredit it. He stormed
and raved, and then he impored But when the
detective walked her off of the house to the
motor he had waiting to take her to London, Reginald
broke down, and, with his head the hall table he
forgot his manhood
He abroad again for some time He shot big
game in Africa and fshed off the coasts of Labrador

1t really appeared if Reginald by that time had
forgotten all about the adventures but Mary re-
membered.
Later, it came out in all the papers that certain
Madame de Vismes had been convicted Of felony in
another jewel stealing case, and had got term of
years in prison
Reginald, reading his breakfast table, only said
Good heavens! and flung the paper down disgustedly
