RaIlinrer causes uneasiness.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 3.-The strange
unwillingness on the part Of Richard
A. Ballinger to step down gracefully
from the senretaryship of the interior,
as indicated in interviews from the west
is causing a number of politicians un-
easiness. They fear that Ballinger will
make good his threat TO stay until
President Taft requests him to get out.
And because the executive is obdurate,
absolutely refusing to even hint to his
secretary of the interior that his room
would be preferable to his company,
they are casting about to find some
other means out of the dilemma.
1t was stated at the executive offices
today that the administration felt
doubtful as to the correctness OF Secre-
tary Pallinger's quoted words, particu-
larly his utterance against the Roose-
welt supporters. 1t is possible the
politicians may seize upon this criticism
by the secretary of the former president
as further means to influence the
present executive. Mr.. Taft has always
been firm in insisting that none OF his
official family shall question the acts OF
his predecessor.
The president was up early today
and motored to the Myonia Links with
John Hays Hammond for twos-one.
Among the presidents callers today
was Senator Warner, of Missouri.
Its alIsdamn nonsense. In this
way does Richard A. Ballinger, secre-
tary of the interior characterized the
Beverly story to the effect that Senator
Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, had
asked him TO resign at their Minneapo-
lis meeting on Monday.

uNFOUNDED RUMORS.

The ambulance OF the Alexandria
Hospital was out last night and, as
usual, gave rise to several rumors. One
was to the effect that man and a
woman had attempted to commit sui
eide at the foot Of Cameron street, and
also that an accident had occurred on
a pleasure boat in the neighborhood OF
Fishtown. The ambulance was being
used to convey a sick man to the
hospital.

CHAPTER xxIlI.-contInued.

Presently, as the dark gathered
about us, the candles were lighted, and
their glow shut out the world. To
my relief the three women carried the
talk alone, leaving me to my own
thoughts Of Helen and my plans for
restoring her to her aunt with no
break in the new confidence that Rosa
lind had inspired. I had so completely
yielded myself to this undercurrent of
reflection that I was startled to find
Miss Pat with the coffee service before
her.
Larry, you are dreaming. How can
I remember whether you take sugar?'
Sister Margaret's eyes were upon
me reproachfully for my inattention
and my heart-beats quickened as eight
strokes Of the chapel chime stole lin
geringly through the quiet air. I had
half-raised my cup when I was
startled by a question from Miss Pat
"a request innocent enough and
spoken, it seemed, utterly without in
tention.
Let me see your ring a moment
Helen"
Sister Margaret flashed a glance
of inquiry at me, but Rosalind met the
situation instantly.
Certainly, Aunt Pat'-and she
slipped the ring from her finger,
passed it across the table, and folded
her hands quietly upon the white
cloth. She did not look at me, but l
saw her breath come and go quickly.
If the rings were not the same then
we were undone. This thought gripped
the three of us, and heard my cup
beating tattoo on the edge of my
saucer in the tense silence, while Miss
Pat bent close to the candle before her
and studied the ring, turning it over
slowly. Rosalind half opened her lips
to speak, but Sister Margaret's snowy
hand clasped the girls fingers. The
little circlet of gold with it's beautiful
green stone had been to me one of the
convincing items of the remarkable re-
semblance between the cousins; but
If there should be some differentiating
mark Miss Pat was not so stupid as to
overlook it.
Miss Pat put down the ring abruptly,
and looked at Rosalind and then
smiled quizzically at me.
"You are clever boy, Larry"
Then, turning to Rosalind, Miss Pat
remarked, with the most casual air
imaginable:
Helen pronounces either with the
long e. I noticed at luncheon that
you say eyether. Where's your father,
Rosalind?"
My eyes were turning from Aer to
Rosalind when, on her last word, as
though by prearranged signal, far
across the water, against the dark
shadows of the lakes remoter shore. q
rockets spent ball broke and flung its
stars against the night.
I spoke no word, but leaped over the
stone balustrade and ran to the boat.

There are candles at the side
make light, Gillespie"
And soon we were taking account
Of one another in the soft candle
light.
Il must CO." said Henry huskily,
looking stupidity down upon his broth
er, who lay quite still, his head resting
on his arm.
"You will stay" I said; and I stood
beside him while Gillespie filed a
pail at the creek and laved Arthur's
wrists and temples with cool water.
We worked quarter of an hour be-
fore he gave any signs of life; but
when he opened his eyes Henry flung
himself down in q chair and mopped
his forehead.
"He is not Dead" he said, grinning
foolish1y.
where is Helen?" I demanded.
"She's safe," he replied cunningly,
nodding his head. 81 suppose Pat has
sent you to take her back. She may
go. If you have brought my money"
Cunning and greed, and the marks of
drink had made his face repulsive.
Gillespie got Arthur to his feet a mo-
ment later, and gave him brandy
from a flask in the cupboard. His
brothers restoration seemed now to
amuse Henry.
1T was mere love-tap. You're
tougher than you look, Arthur. It's
the simple life down here in the woods.
My own nerves are all gone" He
turned to me with the air Of dominat-
ing the situation. "Pm glad you've
come, you and our friend of button
fame. Rivals, gentlemen? A friendly
rivalry for my daughters hand fat
tiers the house Of Holbrook. Between
ourselves favor you, Mr.. Donovan;

"That will do!"-and clapped my
hand on his shoulder roughly. II

is ready to settle with you; but she

me. "She must not see him!"-and
his cowardly fear angered me anew.

much as tell you in this matter. I

settlement and done a grave injury to

Helen would have It; it was her
ideal"

neck and throw you into the creek!"
He stared q moment, then laughed
aloud.

I babe Gillespie steer, and when we
were free Of the pier told him to head
for the Tippecanoe.
The handful of stars that had bright
ened against the sky had been a real
shock, and I accused myself in severe
terms for having left Arthur Holbrook
alone. AS we swept into the open
Glenarm House stood forth from the
encircling wood, marked by the bright
lights of the terrace where Miss Pat
had, with so much composure and in
so few words, made comedy of my at

off my coat my hand touched the en-
velope containing the forged notes
which had thrust into my pocket be-
fore diner, and the contact sobered
me; there was still chance for me to
be of use. But at the thought of what
might be occurring at the houseboat
on the Tippecanoe I forced the
launch's speed to the limit. Gillespie
still maintained silence, grimly
clenching his empty pipe. He now
reused himself and bawled at me:
did you ever meet the coroner of
this county?"
"No!" shouted.
"Well, you WELCOMING down! You
will blow up in about three minutes -

. He caught me roughly by the arm.
If this means any injury to

mo! It is for her!" And he followed
silently at my heels toward Red Gate.
The voices of two men in loud de-
bate rang out sharply upon US through
the open windows of the house-boat
as we crept down upon the deck. Then
followed the sound of blows, and the
rattle of furniture knocked about, and
as we reached the door lamp fell
with a crash and the place was dark.
We seemed to strike matches at the
