CHAPTER XIV. tcontInucd.)

1t was a transparent plot on Bellas
part: Two elderly ladies, house miles
from anywhere, long evenings in the
music room with an open fire and
Bella at the harp playing the two
songs she knows.
When we were ready and gathered
In the kitchen, in the darkness, of
course, Dial went up on the roof and
signaled with a lantern to the cars
on the drive Then he went down
stairs. took last look at the draw
ing-room, fired the papers, shook the
powder. opened the windows and
yelled fire."
OF course, huddled in the kitchen.
we had heard little or nothing But
We plainly heard Dial on the first floor
and Flanagan on the second yelling
fire" and the patter of feet as the
guards ran to the front Of the house.
And at that instant We remembered
Aunt Selma
That was the cause of the whole
trouble. I don't know why they turned
on me; she wasn't my aunt. But by
the time they had got her out of bed,
and had wrapped her In an eiderdown
comfort, and stuck slippers on her
feet and motor veil on her head. the
glare at the front of the house was
beginning to die away. She didn't UNI
derstand at all, and we had no time to
explain. remember that she wanted to
go back and get her plate" whatever
that may be. but Jim took her by the
arm and hurried her along, and the
rest, who had waited, and were in
awful tempers, stood aside and let
them out first
The door to the area steps was
open. and by the street lights we
could see a fence and a gate. which
opened on a side street. Jim and
Aunt Selma ran straight for the gate ;
the wind blowing Aunt Sellna's COM
fort like a sail. Then, with our feet,
so to speak. on the first rung of the
ladder of liberty. 1t slipped. A half
dozen guards and reporters came
around the house and drove us back
like sheep into slaughter pen. 1t
was the most humiliating moment of
my life.
Dial had been for fighting a way
| through. and just for minute
| think | went Berserk myself But
Max spied one of the reporters setting
up a fiash-light as We stood, unde
cided. at the top of the steps. and
after that there was nothing to do but
/ retreat We backed slowly, to show
them we were not afraid. And wher
we we're all in the kitchen again, an6
had turned on the lights and Bella
was crying with her head against Mr.
| Harbison's arm, Dial said, cheerfully;
We'll. 1t has done some good, any
| how. We have lost Aunt Selma"
And we all shook hands on It, al
though we were sorry about Jim. Ant
DIAL said we would have some cham
payne and drink 70 Aunt Selina's com
fort, and we could have her teeu
fumigated and send them to her

She stared around the group. ant

many years they have had a strenuous
fight on their hands in order that they
might exist, but last season they in
augurated a policy of cutting the regu-
lar admission price in half and if re-
ports of their tour go for anything the
departure has met with unqualified
success and approval everywhere.
This season we are told that they
come with a circus almost twice as
large as hat of former years. Their
representative asserts that those who
view the magnificent parade, which
will be given On the morning of the
performance, will be fully convinced as
to any statements made in that con
nection. The price of admission will
be the same as last season. Twenty
five cents is the standard charge and
the big tent this year will seat 10000
people.
As the Sells-F1oto people have al
ways borne an enviable reputation for
keeping faith with their public, there
is no reason to doubt but that their
engagement here will be an unqualih-
ed success.

THE INSOLENCE OF MONOPOLY
BY sAvoYARD

Washington, November 29.-tSpeciaD.- The treasury of. the United states is tax ed more than half a billion to construct a shin canal across the Isthmus of Pan anna. an enterprise that challenegd the daring of men and the energy of na- tions when Washington yet wore the uni form of the British army and Virginia vet paid allegiance to the British crown. The chief use to which the American people can put this great work is to cheapen transportation between ports on the Atlantic and ports of the Pacific. Fortuitously, it will add immensely to the effective capacity of the American navy, though it was distinctly the demand of commerce that set on foot and wrought this gigantic undertaking f
 MT Bernard N. Baker, a capitalist of Baltimore, in anticipation of the com pletion of the canal, organized the At lantic and Gulf Transportation company, whose ships are to ply between the east ern and western oceans. He secured a great many subscriptions from Ameri- can capitalists and much encouragement from bankers, merchants, manufacturers and others, and was getting on capitally with his enterprise. But he met with a check Capital was as swift to withdraw subscriptions as it had been to make them and shipyards that had sought his

carpets at Philadelphia and sets sail TOT Buenes Ayres. and there 1t falls In With an English ship laden with English car pets. The Spanish-American says to the Yankee American, "I like your carpets, bur owing to his free wool the English mans carpets are cheaper in price than yours and just as good Besides, l have nothing but wool, beef and mutton to exchange for your carpets. The English man will take them in exchange Tor his pets The Spanish American says to the enter them at port of the United States you are fined tariff duty on them for the protection of your meat trust and your wool trust I am sorry but l will have to get my carpets rom the Englshman."
 Isn't it stark naked folly to go out after such trade as that? Yet 1t might be made profitable to the carrier If that American ship had adequate rake off at the treasury table, but 1t would be rather hard on the farmer and other unsubsidized taxpayers.
 Here is how the Englishman does it: He loads mp with merchandise, the cheap est in the world, though we could and
 would make cheaper, but for the tariff. 1 He goes to Rio Janeiro and there he
 swapa his cargo at profit Tor coffee
 He takes the coffee to New Orleans,
 and swaps it for cotton, paying no tariff ssduty, for the coffee is on the free list 1 Thus in that transaction he has abso. i lute free trade with us, except he hac 10 go to New Orleans by the Soutf American port, but you bet he made profit enough on the coffee to foot the
 bill

 make him as free as your Englishmar
 is, and he will go out and capture trad' without subsidy. And he will get tho
 ships, too But first get your trade ships do not make trade Trade makes ships.

orders for vessels subsequently, declined them. and Mir Baker told the President that his company was the victim of the allied railroads and financial inter- ests.p
 This combination has ships and it is their purpose to monopolze the water transportation well as the land. Mr. Baker Is of the same name, from the same state, mayhap of the same family, as the mighty third baseman of Connie Mack's champion baseball team, who only a few days ago immortalized himself on the green diamond, and he says he IS going to fight the roads, the financiers, and the shipyards, that he is determined to succeed in the enterprise and estap- fish a line of merchant craft to fetch and carry from ocean to ocean.
 How is he going to do it? Where will he get ships, even if he should raise the money? Our government will not allow
 him to buy a foreign ship, take out an
 American register and sail it under our flag, Nay, the shipyards refuse to all low the government itself to do that
 But the government with fear and tremb- ling did get the concession from the ship yards to buy abroad if the price of the l American vessel was outrageous extor- | tion. A few months ago the shipyards
 offered a vessel to the government foi carrying supplies to Panama and asked | $S50O00 for 1t. The government thought I the price exhorbitant and bought just as good a ship from an English firm
 for $250,00O. Our protectionists raised 8 tremendous row over it, characterizing \
 as an outrage and denouncing the ad, l minstration as "the enemy of American l labor'-al because the administration l would not take $500,OO0 out of the treas ury and give it to them.
 Now your American shipyard is the most perfectly protected concern In ever | this country.
