There was a bright spot of color on
either cheek and hot light Of anger
in her eyes as she set about her task.
1t would never be less hideous, never
less immediate.
The desk drawers yielded easily to
the eager keys. One by one she had
them open and their contents explored
vain repetition of yesterday after
moons fruitless task. But she must
be sure, she must leave no stone un-
turned. Maitland Manor was closed
to her for ever, because of last night.
But here she was safe for a few short
hours, and free to make assurance
doubly sure.
There remained the dispatch box,
the black japanned tin box which had
proved obdurate yesterday. She had
come prepared to break its lock this
time, If need be; Maitland's careless
ness spared her the necessity
She lifted IL out of lower drawer,
and put it in her lap. The smallest
key fitted the lock at the first attempt.
The lid came up and
Perhaps it is not altogether discred-
liable that one should temporarily for
get ones computations in the long-de-
ferred moment of triumph. The girl
uttered a little cry of joy.
Crash!-the front door downstairs
had been slammed
She was on her feet in a breath,
faint with fear. Yet not so overcome
that she forgot her errand, her sue
cess. AS she stood up she dropped
the dispatch box back into the drawer,
without a sound, and, opening her
handbag, stuffed something into it.
No time to do more; a dull rumble
of masculine voices was distinctly,
frightfully aud BILE in the stiffness OF
the house; wees OF men conversing
together in the inner vestibule. One
laughed, and the laugh seemed TO
penetrate her bosom like knife Then
both strobe across the thing and began
to ascend, as was clearly told her by
footsteps sounding deadened on the
padded carpet.
Panic-stricken, she turned to the
student lamp and with a quick twirl
and upward jerk of the chimney-catch
extinguished the flame. A reek OF
smoke Immediately began to foul the
close, hot air; and she knew that IL
would betray her. but was helpless to
stop it. Besides, she was caught,
trapped, damned beyond redemption
unless-unless 1t were not Maitland,
after all, but one of the other tenants,
Unexpectedly returned and bound for
another fiat.
Futile hope. Upon the landing by
the door the footsteps ceased; and a
key grated In the wards of the lock.
Blind with terror, her sole thought
an instructive impulse to hide and so
avert discovery until the last possible
instant, and on the bare chance OF
something happening to save her, the
girl caught up her skirts and fed like
a hunted shadow through the alcove,
through the bed chamber, thence down
the hall toward the dining room and
kitchen offices.
The outer door was being opened
ere she had reached the hiding place
she had in mind-the trunk closet
from which, she remembered remark
ing. a window opened upon a fire.

PRES. TAFT AND CABINET
DISCUSS DECISION AND
GOVERNMENTS POLICY.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The gov
ernment's policy in dealing with
trusts and combinations Of capital.
as it must be shaped in the light of
the Supreme Courts decision in the
Standard Oil case, was discussed by
President Taft and his cabinet today.
Undoubtedly the action of the court
in recognizing and legalizing "a rea-
sonable restraint of interstate com
merce opens a new field of litigation In
the governments war upon m~onopolies,
and the future policy of this and other
administrations may hang much upon
that point. President Taft has de-
clined to express any opinion until he
could go over the courts findings with
Attorney General Wickersham.
There was a great rush at the clerks
Office of the Supreme Court today for
copies of the famous opinion. There
were not enough to supply the demand,
but more will be available later.
Although the full opinion of the court
totaled more than 10000 words, Chief
Justice White, to the surprise of all,
announced at least half of 1t without
apparently glancing at the notes which
lay before him. Evidently the chief
justice had the opinion SO we'll arranged
in his mind tina he spoke it without
help.
In ending a struggle of years on the
part of the government to put down a
combination which was claimed to be a
menace to the industrial and economic
advane ment of the entire country. the
court declared that the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey and It's nine
teen subsidiary companies, We're a con-
spiracy and combination in ~"unreason-
able restraint of trade under the Sher-
man law and ordered the dissolution of
the combination within six months
1900 Concerns Affected.
A conservative estimate concludes
that 1900 holding companies. having
more than 5000 subsidiary concerns and
representing $40, 900, 900. 90 of capital, will
be directly affected.
At the same time the court did not
condemn all great interstate corpora
lions and did not hold that every
restraint of trade was a violation of
law. The decision plainly left the in
ference that each corporation, whose
acts may be called into question. must
be judged upon the merits of Its par
ticular case.
In other words. the court seems to
have upheld the doctrine that there are
good" and bad trusts. The Stand
ard Oil was a bad trust The fate of
the so-called tobacco trust is hanging
in the balance. Whether 1t is a good
or a bad" trust probably will be de-
cided on May 20. the last decision day
Of the present term Of court.

HIRE EXPERTS TO
GIVE OPINION ON
LIGHTING PLANT
Bloomfield Town Council Takes
First Steps for Mlnic-
ipaI Ownership.

The Bloomfield Town Council last
night authorized the hiring of Runyon
& Carey. electrical experts. to make a
report regarding the advisability of the
town estab. ishing its own lighting plant.
The resolution was offered by Council
mar Charles w. Chabot and was IMAM
imously adopted. The fee for the ex-
perts will be about $500.
Mayor Hauser called attention TO the
fact that a radical change in the light
ing system of the town was needed and
In this he was upheld by the other
members of the Council.
Councilman Harrison offered a motion
that the report of the commissioners
of assessment for the opening of Lacka-
wanna place be confirmed and referred
to the ordinance committee. An ener-
getic protest to any such action was
entc: sd by Councilman Unangst, who
claimed that the town at large was
benefited by the proposed new thor
oughfare and that the assessment
should be more widely distributed, in
Guiding a greater area than that affect
ed by the report as submitted. Mr..
Unangst, in support of his contention,
cited the Bloomfield avenue sewer as
sessment, of which the town at large
paid a considerable portion. Mayor
Hauser. in reply, said it was hard to
determine just where to draw the line,
but in his opinion sue matters should
be left TO the Board of Assessors.
The motion was carried by a majority
vote in spite of the opposition of Coun-
Gilman Unangst.
Clerk Davis read an anonymous CON-
municatior submitted by Mayor
Hauser complaining of a nuisance
existing in Clinton street. In the cell
lar of a house which has been loosely
placed upon an insecure foundation
several feet of water has been allowed
to stand stagnant since last fall. The
place, according to the letter, has be-
come a breeding place for mosquitoes.
and the structure, ii was said, was
likely to collapse any day. The mat
ter was referred to the building COM
mittee to TAKE up with the Board of
Health.
Mayor Hauser in commenting upo1
the letter expressed his surprise at the
attitude of some of the citizens in re-
gard 10 public matters, who grumble
among themselves, and instead of COM
ing out in the open write anonymous
letters. The Importance of the one re-
ceived, however, the mayor said, justi-
fled the council in having it read.
Mayor Hauser instructed the fire
committee to look into the matter of
purchasing a chemical combination
hose wagon. Charles L. Seibert was
named by Mayor Hauser as a mem-
Der Of the Sinking Fund Commission
for a term of three years to succeed
himself and the nomination was con
frmed.
