fact that II was TO carry him TO the

pleased Strong nightly. although he
was not sure in the back OF his mind
that his exaltation In this respect was
not7a little childish and little mean
He knew that any false step. any
little hesitation. any gaucherie, would
be quickly noted by the men whom
he now compelled 10 obey him by
menace. For. as he stepped into the
open. Strong had looked up from the
curious sullen eyes that surveyed him
TO the Victor, which hung like threat
overhead.
However. he had no fear for his
horsemanship, and, looking round him
as he mounted, he noted to his salts
faction that the eyes OF the officers
cleared a little as he settled down
into the saddle and gathered up the
reins In a manner which plainly told
of long habit in the matter OF handling
horses.
So, followed by brilliant crowd or
staff officers, after whom trotted six
regiments OF horse, Strong proceeded
to move slowly down the long main
avenue TO the chamber OF deputies,
which. THOUGH he did not suspect it.
was even then a place Of whispered
treachery.
Strong imagined that the precau-
tons which he had taken for securing
the safety OF his newly-stolen king
dom were complete. But he had for
gotten one thing-that he should for
bid the entry of all strangers into
Bahama. And Ludwig was already
on the way from Paris.

with her face pressed against the
glass She was looking out eagerly
and anxiously into the street in the
hope that she might catch glimpse
of Strong on his way 10 safety.
The king had turned the handle ~
the door so silently, and stepped in so
stealthily, that, even though Diana had
been warned OF his approach. she was
thrown of her balance as she turned
about at the sound OF her fathers
voice and met his cold eye.
Her face suddenly famed. and then
as suddenly paled, and without any
knowledge of what she did she
clutched a little convulsiyely at her
heart. which seemed as though it
would beat out OF her body.
The king took quick look around
the room There was nothing which
could give rise to the suspicion that
Strong had been there, yet the sus
picion lurked in his mind. and it was
suspicion that was confirmed when
he said briskly:
"Mr. Strong has been here"
Then for the first time in her life
Diana's self-possession forsook her.
She had been little overweight by

Shoemaker's Verbal Attack
on Father GaIassi Taken
SeriousIy--Gets Warrant.
CASE is WITHDRAWN
FOLLOWING APOLOGY
1t Is Believed that Fiord
Was intoxicated When He
Uttered Threats.

Rev. Columbino Galassi, pastor of the
Italian Roman Catholic Church of Our
Lady of the Most Holy Rosary In Bar
clay street, appeared before Recorder
Pickersgill Tuesday and swore out
warrant for the arrest of Angelo Flora,
shoemaker at 219 New Brunswick k
avenue, whom he charged with having
threatened to kill him.
According to the priest, the shoe
maker made the threats against him
last week and he feared that the Italian
would do him bodily injury. City Mar
shal Walters served the warrant on the
shoemaker yesterday morning and the
case was to have been heard this morn
ing, but, as Flora went to Father Galassi
yesterday afternoon and begged for
giveness, the case was dismissed at the
complainant 8 request.
1t is stated by the clergyman that
the shoemaker was intoxicated when he
made the threats and, in view Of his
penitence yesterday, Father Galassi q
fears have been allayed. Flora, it is
said ON the day in question declared
that he did not like the priest and in
tended to remove him from his dignified
position, In view of the recent killing
of Detective Petrosino and another man
in Italy and the murder of a Polish
priest in Newark, Father Galassi took
the threats seriously and feared for his
safety, which was his reason for swear
ing out the warrant.

6Fecfdf DJ UHue0 f>fe5S W0e
Washington, March 1S:-The
Payne tariff bill was reported back
to the house at two minutes past IL
o'clock this afternoon with the
recommendation that it be passed.
Previous to the opening of the ses-
sion the ways and means com mittee
met and adopted o report recon-
mending the bill by vote Of 8 to
6. All the democratic members OF
the committee were opposed, except
ing Representative Broussird, of
Louisiana, a new member of the
committee, who voted with the re-
publicans. The democrats we're
given until Tuesday to prepare a
minority report.
June Before Taft Gets 1t.
The middle of June, 1t was gener-
ally predicted today, would be the
time when the tariff bill may reach
President Taft for his signature.
Among the democrats 1t is held that
some of the cuts are so radical that
they are looking for Joker" in
the bill. Among the republicans
many expressions of disapproval OF
the proposed rate cuts are heard and
a food of amendments is expected
from this source.
The general debate will begin
Monday. Progress depends largely
on the. attitude of the democrats, as
all, even Leader Champ CT rk, were
kept in complete ignorance of the
bill before 1t was introduced by Mr..
Payne. Their full plan Of campaign
is not vet determined. It will likely
take the form Of minority report,
setting forth the minority's objec-
tions to the bill.
