CHAPTER VIII.

CADWALLADER HUNTERS REVENGE.
4 the sound of Loveland's voice
IN Cadwallader Hunter straight
ened up in haste and turned
a a round, looking suddenly stiff
and wicked as a frozen snake.
He stared into Loveland's eyes, his
own like gray glass, and an unprom-
Using smile depressed the corners of
his thin lips.
"Oh. that's it, is. it," thought Val
with the carelessness of a man used
Mo dominating situations. He's afraid
I'm not going to speak to him, and he
daren't speak first for fear of being
snubbed again. Well"-and Val felt
pleasantly magnanimous-"IY give
him a lead. How are you?" he asked
with the ~patronizing tone his voice
unconsciously took when he spoke to
this man.
Then he could hardly believe his
eyes, which told him that Cadwallader
Hunter had turned a contemptuous
shoulder upon him, darting disgust in
q venomous glance.
s"This is the-person we We're speak
ing Of" he said to the dark, sclean
shaven man toward whom he had
been bending Che seemed always to be
bending toward someone3 when Love-
land came up. "Shall we have him
turned out?"
Mr.. Coolidge half rose in his seat,
losing his characteristic stolidity. "No.
no." he returned In a low, decided
voice; there must be no scene here,
for the ladies' sake. Keep quiet, every
BODY
you're right, Coolidge" returned
che dark. smeoth faced man.

The Swish of tho Rod.

A college president in an address on
pedagogy said:
And one OF tue ulOst remarkable
changes in the last thirty years Of
teaching is the abolition Of corporal
punishment. A boy of this generation
is never whipped, But boys of the
last generation must have believed
that their instructors all had for motto:

Lord Loveland, hardly knowing what
he said or did in the persistent night
mare from which he could not wake,
called the waiter to him from ambush
behind his chair. The man came, with
eyes cast patiently down, not to meet
the angry blaze turned dangerously
upon him.
"There must be some mistake here,''
said Loveland, folding up the paper
and replacing the three sheets in the
envelope with fingers that were not
quite steady. "This can't be for me.
You see, there's no name on the thing.
You've brought it to the wrong per-
son."

was told to bring it to you. If there's
a mistake, sir. it isn't me who's made
it."
every we'll, then, somebody else
has," insisted Loveland. II tell you
this can't possibly be meant for me.
Give the envelope back to whoever
gave it to you and ask him to hand it
to the manager, saying that in error it
was delivered to Lord Loveland."
Eyes, Sir" The waiter obediently
took charge of the offensive envelope
and ambled away with it to confer at
a distance with the person from whom
it had been received five minutes ago.
There were a few gestures, a few
shrugs, and then the two approached
Lord Loveland's table together.
cts quite right, sir" murmured the
newcomer. "The letter is for you, sir.
There's no mistake"
Deadly white under his brown tan,
Val rose without a word, crumpling
the envelope in a hand that itched to
clutch some M by the throat and fling
ing down a silver dollar for the waiter.
The Coolidges and their party were
still at the violet decked table as Love-
land passed by, but he did not see
them. He had forgotten their exist

at her father. who sat between Mrs.

Coolidge, smiling the wooden smile

Than you-that will do" broke
in Loveland, suddenly annoyed by the
servants knowing %loquacity. The
name of Henry van Cotter had in
such a connection stirred a dim sense
of discomfort within him. This Van
Cotter was one of Harborough's
friends. Val had left Jim's letter and
a visiting card this afternoon at a
huge palace of an apartment house,
where MI. van Cotter had a fiat.
At last he saw his waiter coming
back and was about to ask irritably
whether the man thought it was to-
morrow's breakfast he'd ordered when
a sealed envelope of the hotel paper
was laid on the table in place of the
expected oysters.
The servant discreetly retired out of
sight behind his lordship's chair like a
little boy who has lit q squib and
awaits the explosion, and Loveland
tore open the envelope, which, very
oddly, he thought, was not addressed.
"Sir," he read in neat tipping, "the
management of the hotel present their
compliments and inform you that the
suit you are occupying will be required
from this evening; also that they regret
they have no other room to place at
your disposal. They therefore inclose
your account up to date and request
the favor of immediate payment.
Should you wish for dinner and wine
they would be obliged if you would
kindly pay in advance. The bill for

Most of them surrendered and re.
turned without any trouble. Withrow.
condemned wife murderer, was glad
to get back, saying that he could not
stand the bitter cold and the suspense
and trouble in trying to evade the
officers.
That the men were aided in their
escape by outside parties, who fur
nished them with the steel saws with
which they cut the bars, is the belief
of the authorities.
Knox, one of the highwaymen, after
his return to the Tower, gave the
wardens a great deal of trouble and
had to be confined In the condemned

Wonderful Iceberg,

One of the biggest Icebergs seen for
years near ocean liners is told about by
the skipper of the Oravia. He saw it in
the South Atlantic, passing Falkland Is
land. THE night was cloudy There
was cutting wind and the temperature
of the sea was down to 80 degrees when
the great iceberg came into view-a
huge mass 50 feet high, partly covered
with mist, long, shelving shore of ice,
with the sea breaking upon it as upon
wide, deSolate beach. When the moon
appeared the sight was one never 10 be

ed to be floating city of ice as large as
Boston, with its towers, its temples, its
tapering monuments shooting up in fan

moonlight like polished silver. 1t is the

The vacancies on the bench of the

were filled Tuesday when Judge Willis
Van de Vanter, of Wyoming, and
Judge Joseph R. Lamar, of Augusta
Ga, each took the oath of office az
associate justice and began immedi.
ately the performances of the duties
of that position.
For the first time in nineteen
months the bench was complete and
for the first time in the history of the
court, nearly a century and a quarter
old, one president had commissioned
within a single year five men to sill
upon the bench.
The ceremonies attending the ele
walton of the two judges were simple
throughout. Chief Justice White al
ministered to each the oath of allie
glance. The administration of this
oath took place behind the closed
doors OF the robing room, just before
the court took its place on the bench
at noon.
