 He's behaving like brute. They've been married less than year."
 ''It really doesn't amount to. any thing, Genevra,' he argued. "It will blow over in a fortnight. Aggy's all ways doing this sort of thing, you know''
 "I know, Deppy." she said sharply. "But this man is different. He's not a gentleman. MT. Skaggs wasn't gen. tleman. Blood tells. He will boast of this firtartcn until the end of his days"

 'I see.l Thanks for the confidence you have in Aggy. I dare say I know how DrusiIla feels. Pve-Tve had a bad turn or two myself lately, and but never mind By the way, what does Chase say about it?" he asked suddenly.
 She started and caught her breath. "Mr. Chase? He-he hasn't said any thing about it," she responded lamely. "He's-he's not that sort.''
 "Ah,'' reflected Deppingham, ''he is a gentleman?"
 Genevra flushed. "Yes, Pm sure he is."
 T say, Genevra," he said, looking straight into her rebellious eyes, you're in love with Chase. Why don't you marry him?'
 "You-you are really delirious, Dep py," she cried ''The fever has,
 He's good enough for any one even you,'' went on his lordship coolly.
 He may have wife," said she, col lecting her wits with rare swiftness. "Who knows? Don't be silly, Deppy."
 Rubbish, Haven't you stuffed Az gy and me full of the things you found out concerning him before he left Thorberg, and afterward-the let ters from the ambassadors Wife and the glowing things your St. Peters burg friends have to say of him, eh Besides, he'd give his head to marry you-hnving already lost it."
 You are very amusing, Deppy. when you try to be clever Is there a clause in that silly old will compelling

SWEDISH STRIKE
 IS REFERRING OUT
Especial from United Press :,


 Stockholm, Aug. 12.-The Employers Association is in such complete as- tendency today in the Swedish strike that it refused to offer a. group of in- dependent political party leaders to negotiate a settlement on the basis of the return of the strikers under old conditions. The Employers Associa- tion declared it was already the win ner and would make it's own terms in settling with those who wished to re- turn to work.
 The rejection of the offer indicates that the strikers will be fortunate if they are not actually forced to lose ground as a result of the strike. For ty per cent. of the strikers have al- ready returned to work and this num- Der, with the army of strike-breakers is proving sufficient to run all the in dustries on practically a normal basis. The elimination of intoxication dur ing the strike has been a great bene- fit in the matter of preventing law lessness.

fashioned Dover's powder and ven- tured the opinion that good sweat would soon put his lordship on his feet, better than ever" Deppingham kept Bowles beside him while Browne generously prepared and administered the medicine.
 Later in the night the princess came to see how the patient was getting on. He was in a dripping perspiration.-
 Genevra drew chair up beside his couch and sat down. Lady Agnes was yawning sleepily over book
 "Do you know, believe I'd feel bet ter if I could have another chiIl," he said. "Pm so beastly hot now that I can't stand it. Aggy, why don't you turn out on the balcony for bit of fresh air? I'm brute to have kept you moping in here all evening"
 Lady Agnes sighed prettily and stepped out into the murky night.
 q say, Genevra, what's the, news? P demanded his lordship. Where is Chaser
 Now, the princess. it is most distress ing to state, had willfulIy avoided MT. Chase since early that morning.
 'Tm sure I don't know. I had din ner with Mrs. Browne in her room. fancy he's off attending to the guard. I haven't seen him.
 Mice chap" remarked Deppingharn. ''Isn't that he now speaking to Agnes out there?'
 Genevra looked up quickly. A mans voice came in to them from the bal cony, following Lady Deppingbam's soft laugh.
 .'No,'' she said, settling back calmly. eIt's Mir. Browne"
 . "Oh,'' said Deppingham, a slight shadow coming into his eyes. Nice chap, too," he added moment later.
 T don't like him." said she, lowering her voice.

 Old Case Settled
 The tree case of Edward Manchester against the borough of Winsted. which has been in the courts for four years and half, has at last been settled An agreement has been made whereby each side will pay its own costs and Tree Warden Waldron will cut down the tree and repair the sidewalk with out expense to the plaintiff. The tree stands in the center of the sidewalk in front of the Manchester property. The borough attempted to cut it down and MT. Manchester immediately had temporary injunction issued. The case has since been hanging in the courts and but for the part taken by the fire which destroyed the Odd Eel lows and Manchester property a year ago it is doubtful if a settlement would have been reached yet. The fire vir- tually killed the tree.

CHAPTER xXIv.
pEppINeHAM FALLS

DEPPINGHAM FALLS ILL. @ f~lHAT evening Lord Deppinghaf1 took to his bed with violent chills. He shivered and burned o by turns and spent most dis dressing night. Bobby Browne came in twice to see him before retiring. Foi some reason unknown to any one but himself, Deppingham refused to be treated by the young man, notwith. standing the fact that Browne laid claim to a physicians certificate and professed to be especially successful in breaking up 'tthe ague.'' Lady Agnes entreated her liege lord to submit to the doses. but Deppingham was reso iute to irascibility.
 "A Dover's powder, Deppy, or a few grains of quinine. Please be sensible. You're just like a child"
 What's in a Dover's powder?" de- manded the patient, who had never been i'll in his life.
 "Ipecac and opium, sugar of milk or sulphate of potash. It's an anodyne diaphoretic," said Browne.
 Opium, eh?" came sharply from the couch. Good Lord, an overdose of it would"- He checked the words abruptly and gave vent to nervous 1t of laughter.
 Don't be fool, George" command ed his wife. "No one is trying to poi son you"
 Who's saying that he's going@to poi son mel" demanded Deppingham shortly. "Fm objecting because I don't like the idea of taking medicine from a man just out of college
 "I've just given my wife a powder, ache" urged Browne tolerantly.
 "Your wife, exclaimed Depping- ham, sitting up. ''The devlv' He looked hard at Browne for a moment. "Oh, I say, now, old chap. don't you think it's rather too much of coinci- dence?"
 Browne arose quickly, flash of re- sentiment in his eyes. 'See here, Dep pingham"-
 q apologize, Browne" said Depping- ham hastily. "Pm not afraid of your medicine. I'm only thinking of my wife. If I should happen to die, don't you know, there would be people who might say that you could have cured me. See what I mean?''
 "You dear old goose!' cried his wife.

Samuel Mundheim, Presi- dent Manufacturers As sociation, Declares Out look Not Encouraging Operatives Remove Tools from Danburv Shops.
Especial from United Press.

(opec1al rom United PreSS.)
 New York, Feb. 9.-"Every factory opened this morning when the whistle blew and began the manufacture of hats,' said Milton Damman secretary of the Associated Hat Manufacturers to-day. Some men were put to work in every factory where strikes had been declared.''
 The strik of the operative matters which has been on for several weeks because of the withdrawal of the un- ion label has settled to a steady strug- gle and to-days opening of the factor ies by the manufacturers under the open shop system was the second move in the big battle. Samuel Mund- helm, president of the Associated Hat Manufacturers, however, said that the outlook was not encouraging. Only four men reported for work at his Brooklyn factory which employs about 450 hands. Reports from Danbury, South NOrwalk and Newark indicate the same condition. At Danbury and Bethel S,000 men are out. To-day when an opportunity to return to work was given only 200 men reported. Sev- eral of the factories promptly closed again.
 NorWalk Feb. 9.-The attempt at "open shop" in the hat factories here has been 8 failure to-day and has not been the cause of the slightest disturb ance. None of the union men went back to work in the Crofut & Knapp factory, which employs more than six hundred men and is the largest shop in this place.
 John w. Scully of this place, sec retary of the Hat F'inisherS' Associa- tion, who on Saturday resigned as dep- a1ty sheriff of Fairfield County, ad- dressed a body of striking matters in Brooklyn last night.
 Charles A. Donahue, president of the Connecticut State Federation of La- bor will make an address to the men here Saturday,.
 At a meeting of the Hat Trimmers' Union here to-day every one of the members was accounted for. It was voted to fine any member who deserts and goes back into a shop $500: a fore woman who does the same, $999.99; any local woman who goes to work will never be granted a card. factories which belong to the Manu- facturers' Association failed to start up here to-day according to their pro- gram. They opened to receive appli- cations but as far as can be learned no one applied.
 At 8 o'clock the striking operators marched in separate groups to their respective factories and removed their tools, but not one man returned to work.

PRELIMINARY
 LIST MAKES
 RATE 1858 MILLS
Tax Board Thus Far Unable to Keep Within Audit
 OTIS Recommendations
Appropriation for Medical Inspection of Schools De- nied - Charities Board Gets $25,OOO for Defcien- cy-F'inal Meeting Feb. 26.

When the Board of Apportionmaut finished with it's preliminary lists, last night, it found that it had provided ex- penses for tax of 15.S mills. A clip ping of S24,O GOO would bring the rate to where the auditor recommended it.
 The preliminary list provides for 6.S mills in the First district and mills in the Second district. The total budget shows that it is going to cost in the neighborhood of $1,500,000 dollars to run the city next year and that the revenue of the city outside of the amount received by taxation is $289, 700. The total appropriations allowed in the First district amount to $759 56S.13 less the income of S223, 200 and in the Second district. $744 4S28.92, less an income of $66 300.
 The fire department. which was al- lowed $155,SO0 by the auditor for regular appropriation, with an addi- tional ,000 for hydrants, was allowed $151 700 inclusive of hydrants The special appropriation of $12, ,250 allowed by the auditor was increased to $17,15O.
 Stephen Osborn objected to the ap- propriation of $3,500 for the building code committee, on the ground that the amount of compensation had not been fixed by the council. It was fin ally agreed upon the suggestion of President Hincks that it not be under stood that the board had fixed the compensation for the building code commission, but had supplied an ap- propriation from which the Common Council could pay the commission.
 MT. Phelan moved that the $3, 800 asked by the Board of Health to in- spect the school be not allowed and the motion was carried unanimously. Mir Hincks said he did not think much of the plan.
 Mr. Phelan allowed $1 900 to be en- tered for indexing land records, under protest, and with the understanding that MT. LOeWith was to investigate.
 The sum of $25,000 was allowed to make up the deficiency in the Board of Charities.
 The final list will be made up Feb. aa

Mrs. Unwin'S statement establishes be-, yOnd doubt that reconciliation had beeen effected and that Hopkinson was cogn1zant of the condition of affairs. He also understood that he was no longer welcome in the house, and that. | whatever had been his relations with the woman before, he was now to be a stranger in the place where he had made his home for years, as well as ostraclsed among his countrymen in the city and his associates in the shop where he worked He was also bound to lose in the suit for damages brought by the husband of Mrs. Unwin, as he'd testimony would go far toward swing ing the tide Of the law against him.
 The body of Hopkinson was taken to the morgue of Rourke & Rourke yes< terday afternoon. This morning H. w. Walsh, of Al Maiden Lane appear4 ed at the morgue and exhibited a tele< gram he had received from the wif9 of the suicide. The telegram waa dated Cleveland, Ohio, where Mrs. Hopkinson IS now residing It inS structed Walsh to go ahead and mako the arrangements necessary to cons duct the funeral. Mrs. Hopkinaoa will reach this city at 4:44 a. m tos morrow. !
 The funeral will be held from Rem4 ington's undertaking parlors, 459 East Main street, at 23O tomorrow afterS noon. Rev. E. H. Kenyon of Sit. PauIs church will conduct the seIw vices. The remains of Hopkinson wera taken to Remington'S undertakina rooms this morning.
 MT. Walsh said this morning thak his only interest in the remains of Hopkinson was the fact that he was a member of the same organization with him, and that he was simply living up to his obligation in seeing that the re- mains were properly buried.
 Members of the Order of St Georga today denied that Hopkinson was member of that organization.
