THE coNrETITI0N IN 1RMAMENTs.

Our New York Correspondent telograpbod
on Sunday
Mr., Alfred Uoacly delivered q speech ut
the final session Of the Lake Mohonk Peace
Conference on Friday evening, which, we
are told, considerable disturbed the audi
eDce, including MI. Bryce. The latter had
Just expressed lis belief that thore was no
ground for difference between any Of tbs
8rcnt States which Would Justify hostilities,
md urged better mutual knowledge in or
der TO disppl international suspicious. Mr..
MoseIy then rose and referred to the pro
posaI that Mn. Taft should take the iuitia-
tive IN saying something to England and
Germany. He continued:- q am not = all
sure that Mr.. Taft would care to under
take The task; but if he does, may | suggest
that he should turn his attention to Ger
mGul?" This brought al outbulst Of laugh
ter; but DIr. Moaely, undislnayod, went on
to explain why-because Germany had re-
jeCted British oyertures for an understand
ing IN regard to ornaments. That point has
not been sufficiently impressed ON the Amer
lean people, although | believe it is fully
recognized by those in authority,
Another appeal to the President came
from Representative Bartholdt, that ener-
getic advocate OF peace, who asserted that if
M. Taft offered to intervene, Hnd the offer
were accepted, it would signify the end Of
war. The idea Of American mediation un-
doubleday gains ground.
IN III earlier message our Correspondent
says
Great Britain hos been so severely treated
Mt the Lake Mohouk pence conference that it
is pleasant to hear u voice in her defence.
Ii President Butler, OF Columbia University,
who presided, is to be believed, the greatest
obstacle to the limitation OF armaments and
social and economic reforms is EnBiand's
emotional insanity and her insistence on
the twO-Power naval standard, which has
not the excuse of insalar necessity, because
the conquest of The eir has changed the sig
niicance of the word "islAnd.'
The IribuHe and the &u3 both take up
the cudgels ON Great Brit, ms behalf. The
Sun feels doubt about the military effective
ness of the airship, and remarks that Eng
land has maintained the most powerful
Navy in the world for d generation md has
never disturbed the peace OF Europe.
The Irabaue argues that commercial and
colonial interests entitle Great Britain to
maintain her naval standard even higher
than it Is ut present, and adds
Germany may say, though we are not
aware that she does, that she viii stop build
ing warships if Great Britain does. There is
still more reason for Great Britoin's saying
she Will stop if Germany will or that she Will
not stop until Germany does and We are
not sure but that Great Britain has come
nearer taking that attitude than amy OF her
neighbours.
The conference has adopted u resolution
requesting Mr.. Taft to head a movement Tor
the limitation OF armaments.-Ii4teS 28tb

CHAPTER XVI.

RESCUE IN THE NICK OF TINE.
YATER In that never to be forgotten
day Bud Haines ventured back
to his desk in the committee
AA room, after first ascertaining
that Senator Langdon would not re-
turn. Some of the senator's papers
must be Strengthened out, and he want
ed personal documents of his own.
The secretary regretfully, sorrowful-
H. performed these final duties and
found himself stopping at various in
tervals to try to explain to himself how
he had been deceived in both the Lang
dons, father and daughter. He had to
give up both problems. To him neil
ther was explainable. "I've known
enough senators to know that I'd never
meet an honest one" he muttered.
"But as to women-well, there's too
much carefully selected wisdom in
their innocence to suit me-"
This cynic, new born from the shell
of the chronic idealist that was. Sud
denly was disturbed in his ruminations
by a sound at the door, Looking up,
he saw Hope Georgia Langdon stand
ing shyly, embarrassed, in the main
entrance.
"Mr. Haines," she said timidly.
Bud jumped to his feet.
Eyes, Miss Hope Georgia.
AS the senator's younger daughter
came toward him he noticed that she
was excited over something, and for a
newly made cynic he took altogether
90 much notice of her youthful beauty,
her fresh, rosy complexion and her
dancing, sparkling eyes. The thought
occurred to him, "What woman she
will make-if she doesn't initiate her
sister!"

without telling YOU goodby and letting

A Poor Guide.

A Poor Guide.
While the Rev. DR.. Harris was tenn
porarily In Washington he engaged to
speak at a Sunday school concert in
Georgetown. AS it was perfect day
he started early for walk and quiet
preparation along the canal. He had
lost his bearings when he came upon
a lad fishing In the canal and asked
the nearest way to Georgetown. Then,
the Ice being amicably broken, he con-
tinued:
Are you catching many fish,"
Some" said the boy, holding up
string.
"Did you know 1t was Sunday?"
"Course!'
isn't 1t wicked to fish on Sunday ?"
Hin! It's same fun as any day."
but 1t is wicked, my boy" said the
clergyman. Now, you were good
enough to direct me on my way, lei me

with me. and will tell you about the

Peabody and Stevens were the din
ner guests tonight, as they were to con-
fer afterward with Langdon and settle
on the action of the naval affairs COM
mittee regarding the naval base. The
three, being q majority, could control
the action Of the committee.
Senator Peabody had finally post
poned leaving for Philadelphia until
the midnight train in order to be pres
ent, he assured Langdon as the trio
entered the library. The girls, Norton
and Randolph were left to oversee
preparations for the prominent Wash
ingtonians invited to attend the musi-
Gale to be given later in the evening.
Carolina and Hope Georgia were in
distinctly different moods-the elder,
yivacious, elated over the bright out
look for her future; the younger, cast
down and wearing n worried express
sion. Norton and Randolph in jubilant
spirit tried to cheer her and, failing, re-
sorted to taunts about some imaginary
love affair.
The courage of the afternoon, which
had enabled her to speak to Haines as
she had, was gone; girlish fears now
swept over her as to the outcome Of
the evening. Haines had not come!
Was he really guilty and had promised
to come merely to get rid of her2 Why
was he late? If he did come, would
she be able to have her father see him,
as she had promised? If she failed,
and she might, she would never see
this young man again.
'If / looked as unhappy as you,
Hope, I'd go to bed and not discourage
our guests as they arrive" Carolina
suggested. "Our floral decorations

musical program cost over $4,000. The

Hope? Isn't 1t perfectly glorious9
Why
"Mr. Haines is below, asking to see
Senator Langdon," announced serv-
ant, entering.
"Oh, knew he'd come. l knew It!
knew it!' cried Hope Georgia in pure
ecstasy, clapping her hands.
The three plotters turned on the girl
in amazement; then they stared at
each other.
"Mr. Hainesv' calculated Carolina.
"Haines" exclaimed Randolph, hur-
riedly leaving the room.
'Hainesr sneered Norton. 1--WE can
take care Of him. The senator won't
see him."
Carolina caught the suggestion.

and I'm not grown up, but you've
made a mistake. Do try to clear
things up. Why don't you see father
and talk to him? Please do, Mr..
Haines."
Little realizing that the girl was
speaking in his own favor, for he
knew not the need for such speaking,
he believed her to be defending her
father. He grasped her hands i'm
pulsively.
You have grown up very much
since you came to the capital, haven't

Miss Hope. ought to have known
even when the facts were against him
that your father couldn't have been
really crooked. He can't be-"
Hope Langdon's face flushed indig-
nantly.
"Father crooked? Who said so?
Who dared say thatT she exclaimed.
"Why, they told me he had sold out
on the Altacoola bill. They said he
was trying to make money on Alta
coOla. That's why / quit"
The flame Of anger still was spread
on the girls face.
''They said thatr' she exclaimed.
'@rhen they lied. They said you were
the crooked one. Why, father thinks
you scld out ON Altacoola. They said
you were trying to make money on

"That! They said I was crookedw
Haines fairly shouted He rushed
around the desk and caught the girl
by both hands.
"I see itr'. he cried. IT see It!
There's something I'm not just on to.

as excited as he. II couldn't believe

secretary.

ped. She had lost her head and In
the enthusiasm of the moment had re-
vealed her real feelings : something

she grew more wise In the ways Of

She suddenly thrust Haines' hands
from her own and stood staring al

The door reopened and Hope entered,
followed by Bud Haines. The girls
head was high; her cheeks were red;
her eyes glittered ominously.
II brought him back, Carolina" she
said coolly. "Father will want to see
him. l know there has been some
mistake"
YES" supplemented Bud, there has
been decided mistake, and l must re-
fuse to accept the word that came to
me from Senator Langdon."
Carolina Langdon drew herself up in
her most dignified manner.
I'm sorry, Mr.. Haines. but you
st accept it." she said.
Exactly" seconded Norton. "Sen-
ator Langdon entirely declines to re-
ceive you."
II don't trust anything you say,
Congressman Norton, and | may sag
also that I recognize no right of yours
to interfere in any affair between me
and the Langdon family"
Perhaps can explain my right,
Mr.. Haines," Norton said coolly, step
ping beside Carolina. 81 have Just
had the pleasure of announcing to
Miss Hope Georgia Langdon my en-
gagement to Miss Carolina Langdon."
Haines, entirely unprepared for such
denouement, shot searching glance
at Carolina. She bowed her head in
affirmation.

same mold" turning from Carolina
Langdon to Congressman Norton, then
back to the girl.
They stood facing each other when
Randolph Langdon returned. At sight
Of Bud Haines he started, stopped
short second, then came forward
quickly.
''Mr. Haines, my father has declared
that he will not see you, and either
you leave this house at once or l shall
call the servants
Bud looked at young Langdon con.
temptuously.
"Yes. think you would need some
help" he sneered, feeling in his veins
the rush Of red blood, the determine
tion in his heart that had few years

The senator's son drew back his
arm, but the alert, confident look OF

men do not make scenes Of violence

The cold rebuke of Carolina cut into
the silence.

older sister, but the younger girl paid
no attention. Randolph caught her

claimed. II reckon I've grown up to-

reassuringly, and she stopped in her
flight to the hall door. "I'll take Caro-

Bud seriously. "It's wonderful
thing to find a girl who believes in a
man. You've taught me lot, Miss
Hope. Thank you"
"Goodby, Mr.. Haines. Come to-
night" she said as she turned and hur-
ried away.
Bud Haines stood looking after her
thoughtfully.
"What stunning girl she is! I've
seemed to overlook her, with the rush
of events-and Carolina" he murmur-
ed softly. 1--WE never were such very
great friends, yet she believes in me.
What beauty she is!'
A messenger boy broke in on his
musings with letter for Senator

"Guess I'm secretary enough yet to
answer this" he thought, tearing 1t
open.
"Great heavensw he exclaimed as he
read it. Heres the chance to get to

Haines read the following:

Tim Murphy is to be at the Jeffer-
son Theater On Tuesday, Sept. IA,
presenting his newest comedy, my
Boy" in which his whimsical humor
and buoyant spirit are given such ex-
ceptional opportunity. The company
surrounding the popular comedian is
headed by delightful Dorothy Sherrod
and includes a long list of w%ell-known
players. The production is on this
artists usual scale of completeness
and includes for the ladies' the sample
gowns made by CASTOR ct fills OF
Paris for their recent London exhibit
ton.
Mr.. Murphy's role is one of glee-
full JUNCTION, appealing to the man of
sense and his sense OF fun, based on
everyday human nature, such as fur
nished Jefferson, Raymons and Good
win with their best types, as well as
all that sparkling humor which dis
tinguishes this artist in his perform

spired with the real human touch.
The passing of Jefferson, Sol Smith
Russell and John T. Raymond, and
the retirement of Nat Goodwin leaves
Tim Murphy as the solitary exponent
Of the quaint homely American char
acter. He plays men of the soil.
There are skilled %portrayers of the
impudent exotics of the city streets
and of the artificial creatures of snob-
dom. but they are not more native to
America than to any large European
city. The types that Mr.. Murphy dis
closes are unmistakably and exclu-
sively American. Always unique and
individual on our stage, they are now
more rare than ever because there is
no other artist on the stage with
this artists genre skill. Mr.. Murphy
will be under the direction of VIM.
