w WASHINGTON.-"T first thing a
w fellow ought to do when he goes
counting is to get line on his future
mother-in-law, because she's going to
be either his best friend or his worst
enemy"
1t was Carrie Nation who confided
this bit of philosophy to a reporter.
The enforced leisure of the Wash
ington workhouse, where she was be-
Ing held pending a hearing on a
charge of destroying property, had Civ
en- Mrs. Nation the chance to turn
her attention from her pet theme, and
1t was an off day for the demon rum
as far as she was concerned.
I am going to devote large part
OF my time hereafter to seeing that
mothers-in-law get the attention they
ought to have from the American peo-
ple, she said, warming to her theme.
why, man ought to love his mother
in-law as much as he does his wife,
and if he does not it's a sign
either that he's soaked all the
decency out of him with whisky or

Yes; it is like her own; she gave

She choked and caught her breath
sharply and her hand few to her

becoming more important than poll
tics. Commerce and business are the
mainstay of the nation, and expect
only the right that the government
should give greater rights to them.
Politics in the future should take
a back seat. This will increase as the
years pass. My own view is that ev.
cry big Industrial firm should keep
in close touch with the doings of the
government, and particularly with
those departments devoted to the COM
mercial and industrial interests"
Mr.. Hofstot was asked about poll
tics. :
What I get in politics." he ex-
claimed. why, If a man wants to
have his name sullied and his reputa-
tion dragged down in this country all
he has to do is to get into politics;
run for office and the rest is easy"
1t is anticipated that the other big
corporations of America will follow
the ideas outlined by the head of
the Pressed Steel Car Company.
There are agencies already in exist
ence representing the two biggest cor
porations in the world in Washington
known to-day, the Standard Oil Com
pany and the United States Steel cor
poration. But as for business Offices
with regular corps of workmen and
public communication with the affairs
OF the government they do not now
exist.

r HE Pressed Steel Car Company of
Pittsburg, which was recently in
the throes of long strike, is estab-
fishing a branch in Washington, not
for the purpose of acquiring new busi-
ness in that district, but to keep in di-
rect touch with governmental affairs.
This is following out the policy of
President F. N. Hofstot, who claims
that within few years every corpora
ton of any size in the United States
will maintain similar office in the
national capital to keep close watch
on what the government is doing and
make an annual report to it's head
offices wherever they happen to be.
The corporations hope through the
newspapers to disseminate the action
and policies of the Unions executive
officers and Offices. They will main.
tain their own clerical sleuths.
Business is taking the place of poll
tics in our government, said Mr.. Hof-
stot. "The government of this country
is becoming more commercialized ev-
cry day. The commercial interests are

CHAPTER TX,

The Lights on St. Agatha's Pier.
On my way home through st. Aga
tha's 1 stopped to question the two
guards. They had heard nothing, had
seen nothing. How that girl had
passed them did not know. l scanned
the main building, where she and Miss
Pat had two rooms, with an interven-
ing sitting room, but all was dark
Miss Helen Holbrook was undeniably
resourceful young woman of charm
and wit, and 1 went on to Glenarm
House with a new respect for her
cleverness.
| was abroad early the next morn
ing, retracing my steps through St.
Agatha's to the stone bench on the
bluff with vague notion of confirming
my memory of the night by actual con-
tact with visible, tangible things. The
lake twinkled in the sunlight, the sky
overhead was fiawless sweep of blue,
and the foliage shone from the deluge
of the early night. But in the soft mold
of the path the prints of a woman's
shoe were unmistakable. l bent down
and examined them; I measured them
-ungraciously, indefensibly, guiltily
with my hand, and rose convinced
thatthe neat outlines spoke of modish
boOtmaker, and were not apt to be ex-
planned away as marking the lightly
limned step of a fairy or the gold
sandaled flight of Diana. Then l de-
scended to st. Agatha's and found
Miss Pat and Helen lettering tranquil
ly in the garden.
They gave me good morning-Miss
Pat calm and gracious, and Helen in
the spirit of the morning itself, smil-
ing, cool, and arguing :or peace. De-
ception, as a social accomplishment,
she had undoubtedly carried far; and
I was hard put to hold up my end of
the game. l have practiced lying with
pastmasters in the art-the bazar
Keepers of Cairo, horse dealers in
Moscow and rug brokers in Teheran;
but 1 dipped my colors to this amazing
girl.
I'm afraid that we are making our
selves nuisance to you," said Miss
Pat. Il heard the watchmen patroling
the walks last night"
Yes; it was quite feudal!" Helen
broke in. 81 felt that we were back
at least as far as the eleventh cen
tury. The splash of water-which you
can hear when the lake is rough
must be quite like the lap of water in
moat. But 1 did not hear the clank
of arms"
NO I observed. dryly. 1jima
wears blue serge and carries a gun
that would shoot clear through a cru
sader. The gardener is Scotchman,
and his dialect would kill a horse"
Miss Pat paused behind US to de-
iberate upon new species of holly
hook whose minarets rose level with
her kind, gentle eyes. Something had
been in my mind, and l took this or
portunity to speak to Helen.
why don't you avert danger and
avoid an ugly catastrophe by confess
ing to Miss Pat that your duty and
sympathy lie with your father? 1t
would save lot of trouble in the
end"
The flame leaped into Helen's face
us she turned to me.
Il don't know what you mean! l
nave never DSSn SpoheH W DI any one
SO outrageously." She glanced hur-
riedly over her shoulder My position
is hard enough; it is difficult enough,
without this. thought you wished
to help u.s."
l stared at her; she was difting out
of my reckoning, and leading me into
uncharted seas.

time somewhere else, because it's q
sure thing that the girl will turn out
to be just like the old lady.
This law Of heredity that I've been
studying lately is a wonderful thing.
It's the keynote of the whole matri-
monial problem. Now, If fellow be-
gins to think his girls mother is pref
ty nice dispositioned, he don't need to
look any farther than that house for
a wife. And after he gets married it's
most likely that his mother-in-law
will be willing to do more for him than
his wife will in the way of cooking and
economizing and minding his chill
dren."
Mrs. Nation owns to 63 years. but
says she will fight to the death
against the demon rum. She has now
achieved the crowning triumph Of her
nine years crusade-the smashing OF
furnishings in the big Union station.
Mrs. Nations defense was that she
did not destroy private poverty but
public nuisance.

proved in the last three years.
