There was q moments excited
chatter, deep-drawn breaths of re-
lief, the orchestra swung again
into the interrupted rhythm, and
the dancers moved on. Mr.. Grimm
lent straigns to his chief, who
had stepped dowa from the chair.
Two other Secret Service NEE
stood behind him blocking the
doorway that opened into a mar
NV hall.
This way" directed the chief
tersely.
Mr.. Grimm walked along be-
side him. They skirted the end
of the ballroom until they came
to another door opening into the
hall. Chief Campbell pushed it
open, and entered. One of his
men stood just insids.
What was il. tray" asked
the chief.
"Senor Alvarez, of the Mexican
legation, was shot, was the re.
ply.
"Dead?"
"Only wounded. He's in that
ROOM" and he indicated a door
a little way down the hall. Fair
child, two servants. and a pbysi-
clan are with him.
"Who shot him?"
Don't know. We found him
lying in the hall here"
Still followed by Mr.. Grimm,
the chief entered the room, and
together they bent over the
wounded man. The bullet had
entered the torso just below the
ribs on the left side.

Senior Alvarez opened his eyes,
and stared about him in bewil-
derment; then alarm overspread
his face, and he made spasmodic
efforts to reach the inside breast
pocket of his coat. Mr.. Grimm
obligingly thrust his hand into tive
pocket and drew out its contents,
the while Senior Alvarez struggled

He held the papers, one by one,

Her face was blanched, and she
suffered through sheer excite

"A lady, sir-a lady" she be-

Mr.. Grimm calmly closed the
door. shutting in the wounded
man, Chief Campbell and the 9th
ers. Then he caught the maid
sharply by the arm and shook
some coherance into her disor-
dered brain. - ~ d
"A lady-she ran away, SIR

What LADY," demanded Mr..
Grimm coldly. where did she

Bishops Don't D. SO.

A friend OF the late Father Tabb
said in Ellicott City;
This fine poet and good man thought
that class hatred was due to ignorance
that the rich knew too little OF the
poor. and vice versa.
HE once illustrated this ignorance
with the story OF a Methodist bishops
wife who addressed a meeting of slum
housewives on their home duties. The
address made the home life seem all
very fine and ideal, but one housewife
voiced the opinion of the rest. perhaps,
when she said TO her neighbors with .
sniff:
She's all right as far as she goes;
but what I'd like to ask her is this
what does she do when her old bishop
comes home on pay night with his en-
yeloDe empty and fighting jag on?"

The popular impression as 90 the

Is singuiarly exaggerated. and this mis-
conception isl very harmful. When the
public expects that the government
can save $500 100000 n year. such
small lanoriOus savings as can be
made in the executive departments
hardly seem worth while And q is as
touishiuE that under such circum-
