held the lantern toward me, and when
she saw me shrugged her shoulders.

He darted toward me, but the Ital-
ian again caught and held him, and
another alteration began between
them. Holbrook was wrought to a high
pitch of excitement and cursed every
body who had in any way interfered
with him.
Come, Helen" said Gillespie, STEP

Henry Holbrook turned upon him vici-

Helen turned to the Italian and
spoke to him rapidly in his own
tongue.
You must take him away. He is
not himself. Tell him have done the
best l could. Tell him"
She lowered her voice so that l
heard no more. Holbrook was still
heaping abuse upon Gillespie, who
stood submissively by; but Helen ran
up the bank, the lantern light flashing
eerily about her.

Suffragists Plan to Charm the Senate

be one of the delegates. Mrs Oliver
H. p. Belmont will be one of the rep
resentatatives of the Political Equal
ity association.
Many suffragists in New York have
become greatly exercised over the re-
cent meeting held by Mrs Belmont at
the Mount Olivet Baptist church. at
which she took many negro women
into her organization. 1t has caused
many to speculate as to the possibility
Of enfranchising the negro women OF
the southern states. Many letters have
been exchanged during the past week
between the New York women and the
suffragist workers in the south dis
cussing the manner in which the col
ored women's vote can be eliminated
IF we get the vote"
YES" said Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper,
''it Is true that the southern women
wish to bar the colored woman from
voting. But as the national associa-
ton stands for universal suffrage at
all times and in all places, we cannot
countenance this action of the south
ern women. The southern states that
belong to the national association are
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missis-
sissippi. Missouri. Maryland and Ten
nessee"
Mrs. Belmont gave out the following
statement regarding her stand on the
matter:
Il do not consider the suffrage ques-
ton social question in any sense Of
the word. 1t is purely political ques-
tion and must only be considered as
such. The matter of political equal
ity has no connection with social equal
ity. think each state has the right
to settle this matter for ITSELF"

How the Night Ended.

How the Night Ended.
AS my horse whinnied and turned
into the wood a man walked boldly
toward me.
MY dear Donovan, have been con-
soling your horse during your absence.
It's a bad habit we have fallen into
of wandering about at night. 1 liked
your dinner, but you were rather too
anxious to get rid of me. l came by

Gillespie knocked the ashes from his
pipe and thrust it into his pocket. |

You'd better!"
TO tell the truth, my dear Dono-
van, since left your hospitable board
l have been deeply perplexed over
some important questions of human
conduct. Are you interested in human
types? Have you ever noticed the
man who summons all porters and
walters by the pleasing name OF
George? The name in itself is respect
able enough; nor is it's generic use per.
nicious-a matter of taste only. But
the same man may be identified other

The twitter of swallows in the caves

creek l still seemed to be sole pro-

How Col. Lyon Created Federal Job

work for the government.
Lyon looked over the pay roll of
employees at the federal building at
home. There were no vacancies and
most of the jobs had a long waiting
list of applicants. Lyon looked abroad
at the lists of employees in other fed
eral buildings. He found a job he
didn't know about
1t was the job of a char woman.
Col. Lyon looked it up in the die
tionary and found that char woman
was one who polished doorknobs and
things. There were plenty of knobs
in the federal building back home.
but his man was not a woman, and
the dictionaries made no mention OF
char men,
This did not stop Col Lyon of
Texas. He created the Office of char
man. the only one in existence, so far
as Washington knows. and the young
man who wanted to work for the gov
ernment is polishing knobs with great

shrieked and scrambled to their chairs.
while the men fell over each other In
trying to evolve masures of protec-
ton and at the same time capture the
beast
The monkey eluded the brave hunt
ers with ease. 1t sprang from the
chandelier to the sideboard, ran
around the room three or four times,
while the women and some of the
men went rapidly out of the nearest
doors. Then it vaulted into the plate
rail, where it did few stunts to the
damage of much bric-a-brac. Finally
1t 1ntrenched itself behind jardiniere.
where eventually it was captured.
When the monkey was restored to
its cage and quiet had settled down
over the dinner once more, Mrs. Bourke
Cochran, who Is visiting Gen. and Mrs.
Clarence Edwards, expressed the opin-
ion that there was something wrong
with the construction of the nest pro-
v1ded for Mrs. Longworth's pets.
She had been in the Philippines and
she thought she knew something
about the building of homelike
monkey nests. Cotton and soft grass
were produced, and Mrs. Cochran pro-
ceeded to rearrange the monkeys
home.
The beasts did not appreciate her ef-
forts. however, and one of them bit
her thumb. A physician examined the
wound and said there would be no
dangerous consequences.

laughed, pleased to find that my
delay annoyed him. l was confident
that he was not abroad at this hour
for nothing, and it again occurred to
me that we were on different sides of
the matter. My weariness fell from
me like cloak, as the events of the
past hour flashed fresh in my mind.
Now" 1 said, dropping the rein and
pattlng the horses nose for moment,
you may go with me or you may sit
here; but if you would avoid trouble
don't try to interfere with me-"
did not doubt that he had been
sent to watch me; and his immediate
purpose seemed to be to detain me.
Il had hoped you would sit down
and talk over the Monroe Doctrine, or
the partition of Africa, or something
equally interesting, he remarked. "You
disappoint me, my dear benefactor."
And you make me very tired at the
end of a tiresome day, Gillespie.
Please continue to watch my horse:
I'm off,"
He kept at my elbow, as 1 expected
he would, babbling away with his usu-
al Volubility in an effort, now frank
enough, to hold me back; but 1 ig-
nored his talk and plunged on through
the wood toward the creek. Henry
Holorook must, / argued, have had
time enough to get out of the creek
and back to the island; but what mis-
chief Gillespie was furthering in his
beh..lf could not imagine.
There was a gradual rise toward the
creek and we were obliged to cling to
the bushes in making our ascent. Sud-
denly, as 1 paused for breath, Giles
pie grasped my arm.
For Gods sake. stop! This is no
AFFAIR OF yours. On my honor there's
nothing that affects you here"
Il will see whether there is or mott"

kept close beside me.

the creek, and paused to listen.
Where's your launch?"

set OFF toward the lake, Gillespie
trudging behind in the narrow path.
When we had gone about 20 yards a
lantern glimmered below and l heard
voices raised in excited colloquy. Gil

ran forward rapidly, the voices
growing louder, and soon heard men
stumbling and falling about in conflict.
A woman's voice now rose in a sharp
cry:
Let so of him! Let go of him,"
Gillespie flashed by me down the
bank to the waters edge, where the
struggle ended abruptly. 1 was not far
behind, and l saw Henry Holbrook in
the grasp of the Italian, who was ex.
planning to the woman, who held the
lantern high above her head, that he
was only protecting himself. Gillespie
had caught hold of the sailor. who
continued to protest his innocence of
any wish to injure Holbrook; and for
moment we peered through the dark.

SO it's you, is it?" said Henry Hol-
brook as the Italian freed him and his
eyes fell on me. 81 should like to
know what you mean by meddling in
my affairs. By God, I've enough to do
with my own flesh and blood without
dealing with outsiders"
