ran in the direction of the kitchen.
Jocelyn followed him TO the passage
and pointed down the stairs. Then he
went back and opened the bedroom
door to the enraged Russian.
Where is he?" the father cried.
Hes gone" said Jocelyn, pushing
him back into q chair. You want no
scandal You'll not see him again. Be
thankful that your daughter is re-
stored to you. And now, Talbot" he
continued, turning to his servant.

Russian again.
You see. sir, by an act of Provi-

Lord JoCelyn looked at the young
girl and sighed. For one moment re-

it manfully.

FINE POINTS OF ARGUMENT
Little cIinchers That Man Fond Of
Laying Down the Law Must Have
at His Fingers Ends.

On the hotel porch a large, earnest
man was delivering the argument. He
poised his pipe in his hand; and, NOV
ing forward from period 20 period
with judicial elaboration, choosing his
words with care, building his SEN
fences with a nice regard for precis.
ion, he constructed his exposition in
logical sequence. He had time at his
command; and, so he gripped his au-
dience, was in no fear of interruption.
For instance, we will take, for in
stance, just fc- instance, do you I'M
derstand? the little town of .Tew York
to represent the whole country. Well.
here we have the little town Of New
York. Now, it stands TO reason
One who CHANGED to overhear passed
beyond range.
But what Of the disquisition had
been caught gave rise to an impor-
tant reflection. When you examine
the subject you find there are three
fundamental phrases in arguing, in the
deXterOus use of which is largely con-
stituted the talent of the born ar
SutI. ItSt HOlItOi lNlliE pm irtSB
which are his stock in trade, are: 1T

man." and that's human nature"
With these, strongly used, one can do
almost anything. Does capital meet
labor" says the born arguer. no;
what is the consequence? 1t stands
to reasonLabor goes 10 the wall"
Or again: You take the generations
we have now. the young people" He
smokes awhile in silence IT'S nu-
man nature" comes the philosophical
conclusion. And when the argufier ad-
dresses his audience 'as between man
and man when in this direct, blunt
way all the frangipani Of class and
convention is cleared aside. and only
their manhood stands between them,
he has got at the bedrock OF argu-
ment.

began Talbot But what his venture
would have been never transpired, for
at that moment there came another
ring at the door and Jocelyn went
back to open it.
A tall man in & froCk coat, and wear
ing a silk lat that had evidently met
with considerable misuse, stood at the
threshold. When ne say Jocelyn he
raised his arms in a wild gesture.
"Scoundreli Assassin! Thief. Black
mailer." he shouted.
AT your service, sir" Jocelyn re-
piled courteously. Our home is rather
full for our present limited quarters,
but I think that we can make you
comfortable. We have an ample sup
ply of cold water, available at all
hours, both night and day, and you
shall be fitted for your strait jacket
as soon as our cutter is disengaged.
Won't you walk in?S
The tall man availed himself Of the
invitation to enter. AS Jocelyn fol-
lowed him he swung round and
grasped him by the lapels of his coat,
shouting:
Give me my daughter, scoundrel.
She is here; know it. Restore her TO
me instantly. All, you tremble, do
you? Hand her to me unframed or I
will have your life" He saw the bed
room door and stepped toward it, but
Jocelyn with a swift movement inter.
cepted him. The stranger hesitated.
then his glance fell upon Lord Joce-
lyn's fencing foils which hung upon
the wall over his reading desk, and
witt a rapid and wholly unexpected
motion he snatched them down,
snapped of the protecting buttons and
tossed one to Jocelyn. En- garde," he
shouted. You shall pay dearly fol

himself in an attitude of attack

into the passage. Nobody was there

flight encountered the elevator boy as
cending. Have you seen a lady and

The elevator boy shook his head.
"NobOdy's been down the stairs,

They've come down the elevator,

"The elevators disappeared, sir. 1

They ran 10 the end Of the corridor
and peered up and down the shaft.
There were no signs of the elevator.

boy. Well get a view all the way
