ing reading to many who will never learn of
it. Mr. Bailey stated that he was concerned
by the statement of the Senator from Iowa,
which was to the effect that ''the tariff bill
passed by the Democratic party in 1894 was
higher than that passed by the Republican
party in 1890 and in 1892 Mr. Deliver also
stated that he "never thought the tariff Of
1894 produced the panic of 1893" This
brought on more argument which led to the
''insurgent" question when Mr.. Bailey again
got in his voice to this effect:
ct want to say this, Mr.. President and do not
say it in idle compliment I believe that those
who are styled insurgents sincere and patri-
otto men; but also believe their differences with
the Republican party radical and incapable of
adjustment I will tell you why I believe it.
Take this very question of the tariff. If the Re-
publican doctrine has been right then all that the
Republicans needed to do in order to insure
absolute agreement among themselves to fix
a tariff duty at least not below the point Of pro-
lection All above the point of protection with
Republicans who subscribe to the Republican
theory of protective tariff, is an unimportant

Los Angeles is a truly exciting town
to live in. To say nothing of it's

her schoolmates whom she had not

Its fulfillment. A spirit told her to
look for him in Brooklyn. She obeyed,

CHAPTER XVIII.
a Tramp and the Toothaehe.


The bitterness toward the dead
president of the Traders bank seemed
to grow with time. Never popular. his
memory was execrated by people who
had lost nothing, but who were filled
with disgust by constantly hearing
new stories of the mans grasping
avarice.
But, like everything else those DAYS,
the bank failure was almost forgotten
by Gertrude and myself. We. did not
mention Jack Bailey; 1 had found
nothing to change my impression of
his guilt, and Gertrude knew how |
felt. AS for the murder of the bank
presidents son, / was of two minds.
one day thought Gertrude knew or at
least suspected that Jack had done it,:
the next feared that it had been Ger
trude herself, that night alone on the
circular staircase. And then the
mother of Lucien Wallace would OBJ
trude herself, and an almost equally
good case might be made against her.

picions aside. and fix definitely on the
unknown, whoever that might be.

but she was not to be found. A de-
scrlption to one of the detectives. on
my arrival at home, had started the
ball rolling. But by night she had not
been found. told Gertrude. then,
about the telegram to Louise when she
had been ill before; about my visit to
Dr. Walker, and my suspicious that
Matte Bliss and Nina Darlington were

there was little doubt of it,
