 'I can't think it, said Rob, after a pause; five tried, and I can't. But, suppose all you say is true as far as this; suppose he asked her to free him, because he loved another, and suppose she was so grieved and morti fed at this. that in her own sudden fit of angry jealousy,-you know she had a quick temper, also,-suppose she picked up the dagger and turned it upon herself, as she had sometimes said she would do.''
 Kitty listened attentively. "It might be so," she said slowly, you may be nearer the truth than I. But I do Of course, this leaves the written pa. per out of the question entirely"
 That written paper hasn't been thoroughly explained yet" exclaimed the young man. Now, look here, Miss French, I'm not going to wait to be officially employed on this case, though I am going to offer Carleton my legal services, but T mean to do little Investigating on my own ac- count The sooner inquiries are made, the more information is usually ob- tained.

 Indeed you won't. You'lI be of first-class help. When can we see her?'
 While they had been talking, other things had been happening in the drawing-room. The people who had been gathered there had all disap- peared and. under the active super intendence of Miss Morton, the flor ist's men who had put up the decora- tjonS were now taking them away. The whole room was in confusion, and Kitty and MT. Fessenden were glad to escape to some more habitual place.

 Kitty flew upstairs, and soon re- turned, saying that Miss Dupuy would be glad to talk with them both in Madeleine's sitting-room.

CHAPTER XIII. An Interview With Cicely.

The sitting-room on the second floor, directly back of Madeleine's bed room being above the library. Miss Dupuy's own room was back of this and communicated with it. The sitting-room was a pleasant place, with large light windows and easy chairs and couches. A large and well-filled desk seemed to prove the necessity of a social secretary, if Miss Van Norman cared to have any leisure hours.
 Surrounded by letters and papers, Cicely sat at the desk as they enter ed. but immediately rose to meet them.
 Kitty's tact in requesting the in- terview had apparently been success full, for Miss Dupuy was gracious and affable.
 But after some desultory conver- | sation which amounted to nothing, Fessenden concluded a direct course would be better. Miss Dupuy," he said, I'm de- | tective, at least in an amateur way" | Cicely gave a start and a look of fear came into her eyes. "I have the interests of Schuyler Carleton at heart,' the young man continued, land my efforts shall be primarily directed toward clearing him from any breath of suspicion that may seem to have fallen upon him." "Oh, thank you!" cried Cicely, clasping her hands and showing such l genuine gratitude that Fessenden was | startled by new idea. "Tm sure,'' he said, "that you'll give me any help in your power As Miss Van Norman's private secretary, | of course you know most of the de- tails of her daily life." "Yes; but I don't see why should tell everything to that Benson man!" | "You should tell him only such things as may have a bearing on this mystery that we are trying to clear up."
 l '"Then I know nothing to tell. know nothing about the mystery" l 'No, Cicely," said Kitty, in a sooth- ing voice, 'of course you know noth- ing definite; but if you could tell us some few things that may seem to you unimportant, we-that is. MT
 Fessenden-might find them of great help."
 Well" returned Cicely slowly, you must ask questions, if you l choose, MT. Fessenden, and I will an- swer or not, as I prefer
 Thank you, Miss Dupuy. You may l feel sure I will ask only the ones ]
 consider necessary to the work I have | undertaken. And first of all, was Miss Van Norman in love with Carle- ton?"
 ''She was indeed, desperately so.'
 ''Yet she seemed greatly attached l to her cousin, MT. Willard"
 'That was partly a cousinly affec-
 ton, and partly sort of cocuetry to pique MT. Carleton"
 And was Carleton devoted to her? ?'
 Must I answer that?" Cicely's eyes looked troubled.
 "Yes, you must" Fessenden's voice l was very gentle.
 "Then he was not devoted to her in fact, he loved another

strike may seem, few reflections
show that it is possible. The rapid
spread i of the sympathetic strike in
Philadelphia is significant, and the
enthusiastic action of the Pennsylva-
MIA state federation is still more So.
The manner in which both capital and
labor are pouring messages and money
to their respective sides in Philadel-
phia indicates the Importance with
which they regard the fight. Alto
gether the situation resembles a box
of finder that chance spark might
set into flames
An amusing side Of the affair has
been presented by the efforts of May
or Reyburn and Police Director Clay
to minimize the strike in Philadelphia.
Official reports were seriously made
that only $4,000 men were out when
the labor leaders and the newspapers
agreed that there were in the neigh
borhood Of 100000, number that has
since been swelled to approximately
10000. The obvious partially for the
corporate side displayed by these off,
Gals and their refusal to permit the
workmen to hold public meetings
might have been overlooked, but what
about this plain attempt to deceive the
public? It is bad enough to deny to
Americans the right to assemble and
voice their grievances, a right guar
anteed by the constitution, and this in
effect is what Reyburn and CLAW have
DONE will not say that prevarica ting
and being caught at it is worse than
denial of free speech, for nothing
could be much worse than that, but at
least it is a coarser and more vulgar
form of moral obliquity. To put it in

Conditions That Brought

Possible Consequences.
By JAMES A. EDGERTON.

wv WILL the Philadelphia strike
NV precipitate the long looked
W for nation wide strike and
bring on the supreme test of
strength between organized capital and
organized labor? The action of the
Pennsylvania State Federation of La
Dor would indicate an affirmative an
swer. Several other questions present
themselves. however, which affect the
larger one. Will the local trades I'M
ions throughout Pennsylvania approve
the state federation resolution calling
on President Samuel Gompers to or
der a national strike? If they do, will
Mr.. Gompers heed the demand? In
case he does, will the Philadelphia
traction magnates back down before
a national strike is ordered?
There is a large element Of doubt
as to the answers to all of these ques-
tons. After the enthusiastic action
Of the state federation several con-
sentative delegates said the convention
had been swept off it's feet by the ap-
peal Of President w. D. Mahon of the
Amalgamated Association Of Street
and Electric Railway Employees. The
local unions will not be subject to
Mahon's eloquence and will pass on
the question in cooler frame of mind.
AS to the action of Gompers, intima-
lions are af1oat that he may consent to
a national strike, but they are only
rumors. Even if he is so minded he
could not act without his executive
committee, who might wish to refer
so momentous a proposition back to
the state and local bodies throughout

the land. AS to the possibility of the
traction companies backing down, the
answer to that is purely conjectural
So far they have been rather obstinate.
Yet they now have the financial and
moral support of organized capital
elsewhere. If the other employers of
the country were threatened with a
strike, would they withdraw this sup
port and bring pressure to bear on the
Philadelphia traction magnates to ar
bitrate? A nation wide strike at this
juncture would be a most serious prop
OSitiOn-just how serious a few facts
may Indicate
What National Strike Might Mean.
At present the whole nation is in a
more or less perturbed state over the
question of high prices. This has Gre
ated special irritation in labor circles,
which has been augmented by the Jail
sentences Of Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and Frank Morrison, the gen.
eral officers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, now pending on appeal
before the United States supreme
court. The tariff, insurgent move
ment, conservation row, craft inquir-
les and other causes have produced
political unrest, which Indirectly af-
fects the Industrial situation. To add
to all the complications, there is a
glut Of unassimilated elements in all
the larger American cities.
Under these conditions it is easy to
Imagine the possible effects of con-
firn:ation Of the Jail sentence of Com
pers, Mitchell and Morrison and a ma.
ton wide strike. Almost anything
might result from such a combination
even to serious rioting in the cities
and a political and Industrial revo'u
tion.

plain English, Reyburn and Clay in
making that $4,000 representation were
either mistaken or were trying to mis-
lead others as to the truth.
Pratt, Strike Organizer.
Perhaps the most interesting figure
in the Philadelphia trouble is Clarence
o. Pratt, the professional strike organ
izer, who is in charge for the union
men. Pratt is forty-two years old and
admits that he never lost a strike he
himself organized. AS he organized
the present one, the inference is obvi-
GUS. He is incorruptible from the mon.
ey side, as was shown in Chicago
strike a few years ago. He was Of
fered $4,000 to put certain man on
an arbitration board. He asked those
who offered him the money to come to
his room at certain hour. Then he
bored holes through the door into an
adjoining room, fastened the transoms
open, stationed several men where
they could see and hear what went OH
and when the bribers appeared had

their money and published the whole
thing. He offered to return the money
| to the street car company, but they
would not accept it, being compelled,
| of course, to disclaim the transaction.
The $4,000 was then deposited to the
credit of the labor organizations, and
the interest on it is used to win other
! strikes to this day.
| Pratt is man of resources, a good
speaker, splendid organizer and has
a smile that never comes off. He
thinks quickly and studies men and
situations. He always counsels against
violence and acts on the principle that
having public opinion on the labor side
is more than half the battle. Pratt's
enemies say that he has personal mag
aetisn and hypnotizes his followers
