By ANNA KATHARINE GREEN

There was some comment made on
this because Arthur had denied using
his cutter that night. He declared in
stead that he had gone out IN foot
and designated the coachman's tale
as all bosh.
AS for myself, I felt inclined to be
lieve that the mare had been out, that
one or both of the women had har-
messed her and that 1t was by these
means they had reached the Whisper
ing Pines. Adelaide was far from
strong and never addicted to walking
under the most favorable conditions.
j could understand now how Carmel
had succeeded in returning In safety
to her home. She had ridden both
ways-a theory which likewise explain
ed how she came to wear a mans
derby and possibly a mans %overcoat
With her skirts covered by a bearskin
she would present a very fair figure of
q man to any one who CHANGED to pass
her.
These were my deductions drawn
from my W knowledge. Would 9th

Yet, If they let this point slip. where
should l be? Human nature is human
all the way through, and 1 could not
help having moments when I asked
myself If this young girl were worth
the sacrifice l contemplated making
for her. She was lovely to look at,
amiab1e and of womanly promise save
at those rare and poignant moments
when T ssion would seize her in a gust
which drove everything before it. That
she had had provocation I did not
doubt. Adelaide, for all her virtues,
was not an easy person to deal with.
UprigL. and perfectly sincere herself,
she had no sympathy with or com
miseration for any lack of principle
or any display of selfishness in others.
She was a little cold, a little reserved,
a little lacking In ~spontaneity, though
always correct and always generous
in her gifts and often In her acts.

BEST PAID WOMAN IN EMPLOY Of
GOVERNMENT. IMPORTANT WORK

Washington. May 16.-Mrs. Leona
VI Wells OF Wyoming the reorganiza-
ton OF the senate has brought out
as the hi-hest paid woman on Uncle
Sans payroll From the assistant
clerkship OF the powerful senate com
mittee on military affairs she has been
promoted TO a similar position with
the more powerful senate committee
on appropriations
For some years Miss Margaret V.
Kelly, an employe in the office of the
director of the mint with rover to act
in his place in his absence or in the
absence of the immediate assistant,
has been hailed as Uncle Sans best
paid woman employ in the depart
ments. But Mrs Wells has the laurel
over Miss Kelly, considering all the
branches Of the service.
It is a political appointment which
Mrs. Wells has received, as was her
first appointment as an employe of
the senate eleven years ago. But she
has been in politics in Wyoming,
whero the dreams of the suffragettes
have been realities for several de-
cades. She has special pride in the
fact that she has had an equal voice
with each man in the Rocky Mountain
state in the elections held there since
she came of the voting age about
eleven years ago.
Is Suffraeette.
Yes, this highest-paid woman on the
governments pay ron is a suffragette
not the rampant, militant kind that
casts stones when they cannot cast
ballots, but nevertheless a believer in
the equal right of women and men to
declare their choices for officers. And
when asked why she is a suffragette,
she will point to reforms in Wyoming
and claim they have been brought
about by woman's suffrage.
Mrs. Wells has been doing a mans
work, not only in voting and in fill
ing the office of election clerk in her
voting precinct. but as an emp1oye OF
the senate for over a decade And
she has found her sex, she says,
handicap in only one way-she has
the privilege of the senate floor dur
ing the sessions of the senate as the
men occupying similar positions
around the upper house of congress.
This has been particularly notice
able each year since she has been as
sistant clerk of the senate committee
on military affairs, when the annual
army appropriation bill was under
consideration. Ordinarily, the clerk
or assistant clerk who has been in
charge of an appropriation bill while
ii was being made up in committee
sits at the side of the committee
chairman on the floor of the senate
when it is under consideration by the
ate. Mrs. Wells has done the cleri-
cal work on the annual army appro-
priation bill for several years dur
ITS consideration by the committee,
and when the bills came before the
senate male emp.oye of the commit
tee has had the seat alongside Sena-
tor Warren, chairman of the military
affairs committee.

Chairman Warren. She did that by
taking a station just outside the
swinging doors at the main entrance
of the chamber and keeping the
doors ajar a few inches to enable
her to hear what was going on in
the Eveless chamber.
BY right Mrs. Wells has the priv
ileges of the senate floor. But GUS
tom has decreed differently. and she
has not been the one to violate that
precedent set By cls,,I..
Mrs. Wells is young for her re-
sponsibilities, being only 80 years Of
age Born in Illinois and reared and
educated in iowa. she felt the call
Of the mountains and went to the
Rocky Mountain region in 1899. The
next yeH she became secretary TO
the chairman of Wyoming's state Re
publican central committee After
the election of President Mckinley in
November, 1900. she came to Wash
ington to become a clerk to the sen
ate committee on claims. Five years
later, when Senator Warren left the
claims chairmanship to take that OF
military affairs, she went to the lat
ter committee, however, that she IS
still sought by attorneys and claim
ants when tangles over claims, par
ticularly over older ones arise and
claims precedents are sought.
At the close of the Fifty-eighth con
gress, Mrs. Wells was designated to
pre- are the alphabetical index of pri-
vate claims pending before the sem
ate in that congress-an index of So
0CO names, each followed by a history
OF the case to the close of that con
gress And the index she prepared
was printed as a public document for
the use of congress.
Was a Pioneer.
When she took up the work with
the military affairs committee, She
was the first woman employe of the
senate placed in charge of the affairs
OF a big committee. The military
affairs committee manages the an
nual supply bill for the support of the
army, aggregating approximately a
hundred million dollars. and the small
er, but important military academy ap-
preparation bill, besides many other
public and private measures dealing
with every sort of legislation affect
ing the army and its officers, the Or
ganized militia, military posts and res
ervatons and the records of former
volunteer soldiers. Every appoint
ment and promotion in the army made
by the President and sent to the SEN
ate for confirmation must pass un-
der the scrutiny of the military affairs
committee. Since the Fifty-ninth con
gress Mrs Wells has performed the
work incidet to the care of such bills
and nominations.
Mrs. Wells is a loyal westerner and
great lover of outdoor life She is
much in the saddle when taking vaca-
tions in Wyoming, and frequently
takes a horseback ride in the out
skirts of Washington for recreation.
