CHAPTER XIV.

DOR hour more, NJ. Baudet, grim visaged,
artfu domneering, showered questions upon
- Mr. John Smith, and to all of them he received
the answer, utter silence Threats, pleadings,
cajolings, taunts, they all came to the same. He
twined his manicured fingers in his perfumed whis-
kers and plucSed at them until devastation seemed
imminent; he smoked vile cigarettes fercey and
continuously. If only this pig of an American, this
impostor, would say something-just world
Apparently undisturbed, Mr.. Smith permitted his
straight staring eyes to linger upon M. Baudet med
tatvely and occasionally at some unusual outburst,
there flicker of interest in them; but his lips
were sealed. At first he had seen possible avenue
of escape both for himself and for Clarke way of
staying the avalanche that dAubigny was bringing
down on them. If he could have reached Clarke
before the police reached him, and closed his mouth!
That was the hope. 1t died when d Aubigny, &C
companed by M. Remi, rushed away to bring Clarke.
Not understanding the true condition of things,
Clarke would babble and then chaos would come
Hopelessly enough, Mr. Smith sat waiting for it..
Immediately after his arrest-arresting him
seemed to be habit with the police of Paris! Mr..
Smith submitted gracefully to search. The bonds
should have been on his person; NJ Baudet had said
it. They should have been his person, because no

they were alone.

Alone with M. Baudet,

revolver beside him, Mr..
Smith waited, while he
stared placidly out the
window. A short distance
away, across the Place du

of Notre Dame. 1t re-

church back home, the

SHERMAN TO GIVE WAY.
Report That He VIII Retire in Fusor
of Roosevelt.

New York, Aug. 22-The New York
Evenlng Post in it's leading political ar
:. 1T was said today by several Repubv
ncans Of national prominence that be-
fore many days James s. Sherman. vice
PRESIDENT Of che United States. might
announce in the interest of harmony
lnat ne dId net fully understand the po-
SIT III which he was placed when he
iet MS name so before the state COM
mlttee, and that he would retire in or
der that Colonel Roosevelt might have
me unanimous vote of the committee
Tor the temporary Craftsmanship of the
state convention.
This action. it is said, will be brought
ABOUT as result of the vice presidents
coming In touch with the sentiment of
Inc voters as distinguished from the
views or the old guard. Sherman, in
snort, IS expected to be convinced that
the dignity of his post demands a re-
1usal to al pear as the leader of a dis
creoiteo FACTION. For his enlightenment
there Will be cited the thousands of Iro-
tests from all over the country that
man OF lis important official status
should associate himself with Wood
ruff, Barnes and Aldridge.
In addition to all this, it is not too
nucn TO expect, according to those i'll a
position to know, that President Taft
himself will make "a public statement
regretting that the attitude of the adj
mlnistration has been misunderstood
ana that the interests of harmony de-
mand that Colonel Roosevelt be asked
to deliver the conventions keynote
speech. Such statement, it is de-
clared, would truly reflect the views of
the president, not only now, but ever
since 1t became evident that Roosevelt
was willing to take a part in the
states fall campaign
THE men who took this hopeful view
of the situation are out and out Taft
men. Even Roosevelt himself, while
claiming their friendship, has admitted
that they are closer to the president
than to him. The belief that they will
succeed in proving to Sherman the
wisdom of withdrawing, is based on
the fact that Mr.. Taft himself knows
they are working disinterestedly for
him and his administration, just as
we'll as he knows that the old guard is
working for its own selfish interests,
or to pay off old grudges. Their point
of view, 1t is said, will be the point Of
view of the president, when the matter
is put before him clearly.
THAT Griscom's visit to the presi-
dent, together with that of William
Loeb, jr., will be an important episode,
is not denied. From them the presi-
dent will learn at first hand what
really happened at the meeting on
Tuesday and he will also get a recital
of as pretty a piece of peanut politics
as has characterized a so-called reput-
able organization. The fact that the
vote which made Sherman a nominal
victor did not really represent the
sentiment of the stale committee, will
be pointed out and the trickery used
to obtain the proxies will be proved.
The fact that Sherman's attitude has
made it appear that the Taft admins
tration countenances such state Of
affairs will not be omitted from the
story" sc -

NO BALM FOR SPANISH.
Yacht Owners Go Out just for Pleas
ure of Sailing.

Marblehead, Mass, Aug. 22.-The
pleasure of sailing against two Anneri-
can opponents, was the only incentive
that took the Spanish yachtsmen out of
the harbor today for the final race of
the international series.
Three challengers, Chonta, Papoose
and Mosquito II were so deciSively
beaten by the Americans last week, that
after the Harpoon had won the Presi-
dent Taft cup, the only boats left in
the contest for the Governor Draper
cup. the other big trophy for the SER
les were the Beaver and Gina.
To be sure, the Eastern Yacht club
offered prizes for first and second of
the international series, but as the fight
between the Beaver and Gina has been
a hot one and as both have shown far
better speed than the Spaniards. there
was verv little hope that any of the
visitors would be able to capture a sim
gle trophy as a souvenir of their Amer
lean visit.

TO GET 40 PER CENT.
Another Attorney Has Contracts With
the Indians.

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 22.-If the
$4,000, 600 were paid to ]. F. McMur
ray as 10 per cent attorneys fee in
the sale of lands, the government
and not the Indians might have to
ion of E. w. Clapp, an attorney who
appeared today before the congress
sional committee investigating land
deals in this state. Mr.. Clapp, who is
counsel for the Chickasaw Indians,
said as the government had promised
to dispose of the land without cost to
the Indians, it is probable that the
Indians, if any money such as might
have been paid to McMurray were de-
Quoted from the sale of the lands. The
right to recover, Mr.. Clapp believed,
would apply in the cases of minor In
dams whose names had been signed
to the contracts.
Webster Ballinger, an attorney of
Washington, testified he had contracts
with 1000 persons who claim a right
to be, on the Indian rolls. Mr.. Bal
linger said he was to receive 40 per
cent of any property that he might
obtain for the claimants. He said
$25, 900 had been spent in prosecuting
the cases, but no money had been
paid him as fee.
McMurray again took the stand to-
day. He Eaid for all the land to which
they had claims the Indians ought to
receive $50, 600 900. Under this estimate
his 10 per cent fee would amount to
So, 100000. He doubted, however the land

Sergeant Frank Summers and Detec-
tive Josiah Ross served the warrant
charging a violation of the state liquor
law, Tassel was arrested and the
names of nine patrons of his place, a
key joint" at 220 Kansas avenue, up
stairs, were recorded. TassePs res
taurant is located across the street
The tale of Tassel's threefold run
of trouble began when complaint
was brought against him in police
court by Mrs. Ella Thompson of 3O1
Kansas avenue, a place which was
raided week ago as a disorderly
house. Mrs. Thompson alleged that
Tassel had made an insulting offer to
her daughter, a girl of 8 years. Be
fore the case could come to trial Tassel
induced the Thompson woman to drop
the prosecution. That day Thompson
and his son, a youth of %, were to-
gether at the police station to recover
the cash bond of $25 which had been
demanded in his case but had become
returnable Both father and son had
imbibed freely in the afternoon and
were in such a loquacious condition of
inebriety when they entered the po-
lice station that Jailer AL Hopkins
locked them up for being drunk. They
paid fines for this offense next morn
ing.
The present liquor case is a county
prosecution on a complaint sworn to
by Deputy Sheriff Judkins and a war
rant issued by County Attorney John
Schenck.
