Burles suppressed a chuckle. The
detective had a very pretty humor OF
his own, and ne could well imagine
what the stripping of OF the mask
would mean. Still, he knew that sAch
course would be expected OF him
sooner or later. and he was clearing
the ground now for premature de-
parture. There was a good twenty
minutes before him still in which 10

He heard the voice OF Sir Charles

CHAPTER XVII.
Consterna alton!

So quickly and smoothly had every
thing happened that the people next
door were utterly ignorant OF all that
had taken place during the progress
OF the festivities at No. Il. Lady Alta
mont had managed 20 get the nurse
out of the house without arousing the
, suspicion OF anybody. The whole
thing had been most skilfully worked
out in that willy brain. In the trst
place she had procured a nurse after
her own heart, a woman cold and cal
cuating. and ready for anything. pro-
vided that she did not run any per-
sonal or physical danger.
She had been well paid for her
slender services, and was now ready
TO leave at any time. Lady Altamont
had paved the way for her. The
nurse had complained that she could
not look after her patient properly
seeing that Sir Charles was nearly
always in the way. Therefore she had
offered az any moment TO resign II
Lady Altamont was not satisfied. Lady
Altamont was not quite satisfied, so
that the nurse had resigned her posi-
ton and gone In case Of any author
tive inquiry. such as an inquest or
the like. that would read well in the
papers.
And Lady Altamont would have the
excuse that il would have been inn
possible 10 engage the services OF an
other nurse at a moments notice; she
could further plead that she was in
ignorance as to the really critical posi-
ton a the stranger.
Quite callously and unfeeingly she
had gone back 10 her guests again.

CftCltl " 1iS hStci0.
In 1890 under Cleveland, the total
annual appropriation for the expenses
of the national government was $780,
O00, 900, or S6 for every man woman
and child. In 1900 our expenses had
Increased to 5000, 0GO, GOO, or SO for
every man woman and child. The
last Congress appropriated the cOlos-
sal sum of 81. OIL 40i .Sj7, or nearly Sl2
for every man woman and child.
This Congress threatens to spend ST.
600, 600 in excess of last years apprc-
priation.
Republicans appear reluctant to
concern themselves much about gov
eminent expenditures in relation to
the cost Of living. But one thing is
certain. Government does not pick
up these hundreds Of millions of dol
| lars i'm the street. This money comes
out Of somebody's pocket. Unlike
city and State governments, the ma
tiOnai government has but one way of
raising revenue to meet expenses, and
that is by taxing things eaten. worn
or used by the people Hence it is
that increased cost Of living is march
ing hand-in-hand with increased Re
publican extravaganza.
81 am sorry" said Senator Bristow,
of Kansas, while discussing the rail-
road bill, that the Senator from
West Virginia, ElkinS, has deserted
the chamber, and am sorry the Sen
atOr from Rhode Island, Aldrich, is
not here, and that the Senator from
Massachusetts,, Lodge, has also disap-
peared."
A survey of the Senate showed that
the railroad Senators, after having
outliaed the kind of legislation they
had decided should be enacted, had
filed from the chamber without wait
ing to hear those who disagreed from
the railroad viewpoint.
'"Those of US who are here might
possibly be instructed" suggested a
Democratic senator, upon noting
B.istow's chagrin, "but if the Sena-
tor from Kansas imagines that any,
thing he can say will influence those
senators he is wasting his time and
BREATH"
81 am afraid the Senator is right
answered BristOw. Then he went on
addressing the Democrats and the
empty seats of the Standpatters.
Lest We forget. only nine of the 2lS
Republicans of the National House of
Representatives are in a position to
st md before:their constituents and
report that they voted to unseat Car
non as speaker. Page 349O Of the
Congressional Record shows that IN
March 10 all but nine Republicans
voted against che Burleson resolution
which would have unseated Speaker
Cannon and made it possible to elect
a new speaker. Every Democrat
voted to unSeat "Uncle JOe."
A brief definition of "Cannonism"
has been asked for. Cannonism
means that. when the interests of the
common people and the interests of
the steel trust, the sugar trust, the
lumber ii uSt, the harvester trust and
the combination of New England
manufacturers come into conflict, the
latter get the legislation they want
and the people are forced to take that
which they do not want. The Payne
Aldrich law is a good illustration.
The people said. I'VE want downward
revision of the tariff in order that the
cost Of living may be lessened." The
interests said: 1--WE want
upward revision in order that our
profits may increase" The people
we're disappointed, and the campaign
