when Dr. Walker went away to
California with the Armstrong family,
there was talk in the town that when
he came back he would be married to
Miss Armstrong, and we all expected
it. First thing l knew, l got letter
from him in the west. He seemed to
be excited, and he said Miss Arm
strong had taken a sudden notion to
go home and he sent me some money.
i was to watch for her, to see if she
went to Sunnyside, and wherever she
was, not to lose sight of her until he
got home l traced her to the lodge,
and l guess l scared you on the drive

Riggs grinned sheepishly.

Louise was there. Rosie started to

her some sort of a story to account

Well, broken china's death to rub

complaint against you people here,
and the Dragon Fly was good car"
So Rosie's highwayman was e1-
planned.
We'll, l telegraphed the doctor
where Miss Louise was and l kept an
eye on her. Just a day or so before
they came home with the body l got
another letter, telling me to watch
for a woman who had been pitted
with smallpox Her name was Car
rington, and the doctor made things
pretty strong II I found any such
woman loafng around, l was not TO

the doctor got back.

til the night Mr.. Halsey disappeared.
She came to the Office late, and the
doctor was out. She waited around,
walking the floor and working herself
into a passion. When the doctor
didn't come back, she was in an awful
way. She wanted me to hunt him,
and when he didn't appear, she called
him names; said he couldn't fool her.

read of cases where bodies had been
found locked in cars on isolated sid
ings in the west, and my spirits went
down with every hour.
His recovery was destined to be al
most as sudden as his disappearance,
and was due directly to the tramp
Alex had brought to Sunnyside. 1t
seems the man was grateful for his
release, and when he learned some
thing of Halsey's whereabouts from
another member of his fraternity
for it is a fraternity-he was prompt
in letting us know.
On Wednesday evening Mr. jamie
son, who had been down at the Arm
strong house trying to see Louise
and failing-was met near the gate at
Sunnyside by an individual precisely
as repulsive and unkempt as the one
Alex had captured. The man knew
the detective, and he gave him
piece of dirty paper, on which was
scrawled the words: He's at City
hospital, townsville" The tramp who
brought the paper pretended to know
nothing, except this: The paper had
been passed along from a hobo" in
townsville, who seemed to know the
information would be valuable to US.
Again the 1ong-distance telephone
came into requisition- Mr.. Jameson
called the hospital, while we crowded
around him. And when there was no

and that he would probably recover,

The Beauty of Archie Butt.
Speaking of good looks in men, it is
a fact well worthy of note that the
young officers of the army, navy and
marine corps, who serve as aides at
the white house, are nearly always
selected for beauty. There is capt
Archibald Butt, for example. Every
body knows Archie, who is fine. lei
low and a manly chap; but Mr. Taft $
real reason for keeping him around
is that he lends decorative effect TO
the administrative environment. so to
speak.
It is a part of the business of Capt.
Butt and his fellow aides at the white
house to make themselves agreeable to
young women who are invited there as
guests-to take them in to dinner. TO
dance with them on occasions, and TO
flint with them within the imi-s OF
decorum. Hence the Importance or
choosing good looking officers to Dill
these places, which naturally are most
sought as billets. No such opportunity
for displaying oneself attractivoly IN

there is much incidental social pres
tige-not to mention an exceptional
chance for capturing one OF those ex-
traordinarily rich heiresses with which
Washington abounds.

Very popular everywhere, he holds
his seat with a unique and peculiar

his lofty ideals. He has an exalted
idea OF woman and her place in the

sentiment His speech in the house
on the Motherhood of Our Country -
which was a protest against the fore
