Y YHEN the trap door of the at
XN tic had closed over Laura
wv Fain after her interview with
Mark be stood for few min
utes pondering on her strange treat
ment Of him. Then he turned to the
breakfast. he had eaten nothing since
the evening before and the sight Of the
greater part Of a fried chicken Gt had
been killed by Laura's orders for him
only that morning) was especially
grateful.
Soon after he had finished his break
fast hand was extended through the
trap, pitcher of water and toilet arti-
4cles were LETT and the dishes taken. At
1oon a meal was handed in by the
same fair hand
Enough but two meals had been thus
left, Laura began to perceive that she
could not tins feed her charge without
soon being discovered When she took
Marks dinner to him she entered the
attic and had him close the trap after
her.
"It will not do for you to stay here
much longer" she said! "My mother
: mas already become suspicious that l
have something on my mind, and fear
being detected carrying these meals
dare rot tell her all, and / dare not
risk her discovering that you are here"
Il will go tonight
tIt will be sure capture for you to
go. The negroes tell me that. the coun-
try people are all out looking for the
the spy
It can't stay here and compromise
you"
'I have a plan. This evening will
watch for an opportunity for you to 80
down stairs. You can introduce your
self as guest. and though you will be
every minute in danger you will be
safer than here.'
And, in case am discovered, will
not be caught like rat in a trap"
"You can appear as traveller. You
must have a hat l will bring you one.
At the first opportunity after dark I'll
come to the trap and knock. Follow
me down stairs. don't think any one
will recognize you in these clothes.
They have been packed away since my
brother went to Virginia a year ago,
Mamma only saw you, when you were
here before. after dark on the veranda.
and-well, think there will be very
good chance for you to play guest with
out detection"
1.-THE servants?'
.aThey would never betray Yankee.
They think you are all coming down to
free them. and they'll have nothing to
do but lie in the sun"
Not an unpleasant occupation on a
pleasant day said Mark irrelevantly.
SHOULD anything happen. only fear
mamma. And, after all, she is wo-
man." she added significantly.
(Which you pretend not to be-"
IF all goes we'll you will be assigned
q room-the guest chamber perhaps
and il it is not safe for you to be down
stairs, you may feign to be i'll and keep

Mark was better pleased with the
an than remaining where he was. He
not expect to remain in the house
ger than till the next night, when
hoped those who were seeking for

NEW HAMpsHIRE's PEAKS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
S.r: Nature has bequeathed 10 lis and our
clldren's children certain areas Of noun
tains and valleys, OF lakes and woods. OF
rivers and falls. areas that are peculiarly
picturesque and positively priceless. Such
areas are national heritages, inherited, it
is true, by us. but belonging Just as truly
to the wide. wide world.
For the care and preservation OF these
picturesque and priceless landscapes We
and our government are responsible. We
owe not only a debt Of gratitude to Nature
for her munificence. but a duty both to
those who visit cur land and 20 ourselves.
THUS far our twentieth century has wit
resscd the reservation of other national
parks. Just as the nineteenth century wit
messed the reservation Of the Yellowstone
and the Yosemite.
But up amid the northeastern corner Of
this great Republic rise and lie tho peaks
end valleys. the incompatible treasure
Iandscaec. Of our White Mountains. As
vet this wealth OF wonderful scenery has
not been protected and preserved by ma
tional reservation. II seems hardly fair,
Il does not seem consistent, that so many
OF the natural Crandeurs and glories OF
our West-picturesque and priceless as they
arc-should become national parks, while
such an equally picturesque and priceless
beuuest Of Nature remains without protec.
tion aud reservation.

state. then let the best elements OF both

states Senate win be glad TO welcome ana

MRS. TAFT HEALS A BREACH
Orders Senators and Wives Ad-
mitted at Private Entrance.
rvrnr, The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Jan. 16.-Mrs. Taft has
healed a breach between the Executive
household and the Senate which has exist
ed for many years and which bid fair 10
cause serious embarrassment I'm the near
future. She has ordered that all OF the
Senators and their wives shall receive cards
admitting them 10 the south entrance OF
the White House when invited I'm body
10 receptions and other large social events.
Such coolness existed between the social
menago OF the White House and the SEN
ate that only four Senators were present

wish the President and Mrs. Taft happy
New Year, while almost as fow Repre-
sentatives were present The same state Of
affairs hes existed at all Of the receptions
for years past. but was never so pointed
as on January ?.
While the Nice-PreSldent. members of the
Cabinet. the diplomats. the members OF the
Supreme Court and the Speaker always
received with their invitations TO White
House functions a small ticket admitting
them TO the southwest entrance gate and
to handsomely appointed dressing rooms on
the ground floor Of tho White House the
Senators and their wives had TO stand i'm
line. often for hours. hustle with the crowd
in the long east corridor, put their wraps
I'm a pigeonhoe. and they were deprived of
tho comfort OF looking in mirror to reas-
sure themselves Of pleasant expression.

hosts.
An accumulation Of had feeling stretch
ing over years eliminated on New Years
Day i'm only four Senator'S facing the
weather, ana only the Dravest ana most
loyal, among them Senator Depew and
Senator Burrows.
Mrs Taft quickly discovered the trouble
and at once ordered the change. This move
on her part has a far wider meaning, too.
for It will stop the wholesale giving away,
transferring. and often selling of invita-
tions to the White House. and, as the tick
cts bear an hour of admittance, will enable
that august body. the Senate, TO present IT
self en- masSe at entertainments. So care

ators are sppeased. and 10 Mrs Taft. who
has made the White House social affairs so
enjoyable and beautiful that they compare
favorably with the state functions Of the
Old World. belongs the credit OF rcmov-
ing the cause OF the friction.
