CHAPTER XVII.
Mrs. ChedsoYe Rss Doubts.


Mrs. Chedsoye retired to her room
early that memorable December nigh.
Her brother could await the return
of Horace. She hadn't the least doubt
as to the result; a green young man
pitted against a seasoned veterans du-
plicity. She wished Jones no harm
physically; in fact, she had put down
the law against it. Still, much de-
pended upon chance. But for all her
confidence of the outcome, quality of
restlessness pervaded her. She tried
to analyZe it, Intellectually at first.
Perhaps she did not look deep enough !;
perhaps she did not care thoroughly
to examine the source of it. Insistent-
ly, however, it required; and by re-
peated assaults it at length conquered
her. It was the child.
Did she possess, after all, latent
sense of motherhood, and was 1t stir
ring to establish itself? She really
did not know. Was it not fear and
doubt rather than motherly instinct ?
She paused in front of the mirror, but
the glass solved only externals. She
could not see her soul there in the
reflection; she saw only the abundant
gifts of nature, splendid, double-hand-
ed, prodigal. And in contemplating
that reflection, she forgot for a space
what she was seeking. But that child!
From whom did she inherit her Pc
culiar ideas of life? From some Puri-
tan ancestor of her fathers; certainly
not from her side. She had never
bothered her head about Fortune, save
to house and clothe her. till the past
rorty-eight hours. And now It was too
late to pick up the thread she had
cast aside as not worth considering.
To no one is given perfect wisdom;
and she recognized the flaw in hers
that had led her to ignore the mental
attitude of the girl. She had not even
made a friend of heg; mistake, a bit
of stupidity absolutely foreign to her
usual keenness. The child lacked
little of being beautiful, and in three
or four years she would be. Mrs. Ched-
soye was without jealousy; she &C
copied beauty in all things unreserv-
eddy. Possessing as she did an incOm-
parable beauty of her own, she could
we'll afford to be generous. Perhaps
the true cause of this disturbance lay
in the knowledge that there was one
thing her daughter had inherited from
her directly, almost identically; in
deed, of this pattern the younger pos
sessed the wider margin of the two:
courage. Mrs. Chedsoye was afraid OF
nothing except wrinkles, and Fortune
was too young to know this fear. So
then, the mother slowly began to com
prehend the spirit which had given
life to this singular perturbation. For
tune had declared that she would run

! Mrs. Chedsoye did not go upstairs,
but paced the lounging-room. 1.-THE and
pantherish. Frequently she paused,
as If examining the patterns in the
huge carpets. She entered the recep-
tion-room, came back, wandered off
into the ballroom, stopped to inspect
bulletin-board, returned to the win
dows and watched the feluccas sail
past as the great bridge opened; and
during all these aimless occupations
but a single thought busted her mind:
what could a man like Horace see in
a chit like Fortune?
It was an hour and half before
the Major put in an appearance. He
was out of breath and temper.
Come up to the room" Once there,
he sat down and babe her do likewise.
There's the devil to pay. You heard
Hoddy speak of the niger who guard
ed the Holy Yhiordes, and that he
wanted to get out of Cairo before he
turned up? Well, he turned up. He
fooled Hoddy to the top of his bent.
So far as I could learn, Fortune and
Hoddy and Jones are all in the same
boat, kidnapped by the Mahomed, and
carried out into the desert, headed
God knows where! Now, don't get ex'
cited. Take it easy. Luck is with
us, for Hoddy left all the diagrams
with me. We need him, but not SO
much that we can't go on without him.
You see, these Arabs are like the Hin
dus; touch anything that concerns
their religion, and they'll have your
hair off. How Fortune got into it ]
can't imagine, unless Mahomed saw
her with Hoddy and jumped to the
conclusion that they were lovers. All
this Mahomed wants is the rug; and
he is going to hold them till he gets
it. No use notifying the police. No
one would know where to find him.
None of them will come to actual
harm. Anyhow, the coast is clear
Kate, there's big thing in front. No
nerves. We've got to go today. Time
is everything. Our butler and first
man cabled this morning that they
had just started in, and that every
thing was running like clock-work
Well get into New York in time for
the coup. Remember, l was against
the whole business at the start, but
now I'm going to see it off,"
Feverishly Mrs. Chedsoye prepared
for the journey. She was irritable to
Celeste, she was unbearable to her
brother, who took a seat in forward
compartment to be rid Of her. It was
only when they went aboard the
steamer that night that she became
reconciled to the inevitable At any
rate, the presence of Jones would
counterfeit any influence Horace

Escapes an Awful Fate.

A thousand tongues could not ex-
press the gratitude of Mrs. J. E. Cox,
of Joliet, ILL.,, for her wonderful
deIiverance from an awful fate. "Ty-
phoid pneumonia had left me with a
dreadful cough" she writes. "Some-

might have gained over Fortune. That
the three of them might suffer un-
heard-of miseries never formed
thought in her mind. 1t appealed to
her In the sense of comedy which
annoyed rather than amused her.
Ihey We're greeted effusively by
wallace, he of the dubious nose: and
his first inquiry was of Ryanne. Brief.
ly the Major told him what had hap
pened and added his rears Wallace
was greatly cast down. Hoddy had
SO set his heart upon this venture that
1t was shame to proceed without
him. He had warned him at the be-
ginning about that internal rug; but
Hoddy was always set in his dare
devil schemes. So long as the Major
mad the plans, he supposed that they
could turn the trick without Hoddy's
assistance; only, it seemed rather
hard for him not to be in the sport.
He told me that nothing would give
him greater pleasure than to stick his
nst In the first bag OF yeIlow-boys.
There was something mysterious in
the way he used to chuckle over the
thing when | first sprung it on him.
He saw joke somewhere. Let's go
into the smoke-room for a peg. 1t
won't hurt either of us. And that
poor little girl! It's hell of a world,
eh?"
The Major admitted that it was;
but he did not add that Fortunes well
fare or ill-fare was of little or no con-
Germ Of his. The little spitfre had
always openly despised him.
They were drinking silently and mo-
rosely, when Mrs. Chedsoye, pale and
anxious, appeared in the companion
way. She beckoned them to follow
her down to her cabin. Had Fortune
arrived? Had Ryanne? She did not
answer. Arriving at her cabin she
pushed the two wondering men inside,
and pointed at the floor. A large
steamer-roll lay unstrapped, spread

carry out the threat.
Resolutely Mrs. Chedsoye rang for
her maid Celeste. Thoughts like these
only served to disturb the marble
smoothness Of her forehead.
The two began to pack. That is to
say, Celeste began; Mrs Chedsoye

likely to enlarge the vein in the neck;
and all those beautiful gowns would
not be worth soldi without the added
perfection of her lineless throat and
neck. She was getting along in years,
too, a fact which was assuming the
proportions of cross; and more and

EVELYN THAW
IGNORES HUSBAND
She Refers to Him Always as
Plain "Thaw"-NO Longer
Mere Girl.

New York, June 25.-From an unso-
phisticated girl to a cynical woman,
with an immobility of bearing far in
advance of her years, is the change
which has been wrought in Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw since she last appeared
in the courts, in connection with her
husbands trials for the murder of
Stanford White.
Three years ago she passedinto COM
parative obscurity, not to emerge until
last week, when she appeared as the
chief, witness against Harry Thaw,
who il making final effort in the SUI
preme court to establish his sanity In
order to secure his release from the
Matteawan state hospital. 1t is de-
clared that she will be called to the
witness stand again when the hearings
are resumed tomorrow morning.
Evelyn Thaw has lost completely
whatever solicitude she may have ever
felt for her husband or his interests.
In her own words, he'"hid behind
her skirts twice." she does not intend
that he shall do it again. So far she
has maintained a flippant, bored bear
ing. Never giancing in her husband 8
direction, she has retold the story of
her marriage and the subsequent SEN
sational events, always referring to the
prisoner as plain Thaw, usually with
languid, sarcastic curl on her lips.
Only one characteristic of the former
Evelyn Tbaw, sthe "little girl" of the
former trials, remains-that is her love
of publicity. AS formerly, she de-
lights to occupy the most conspicuous
seat in the court room. During argu-
ment between council, while she is in

7. R. PRESTON
FOR GOVERNOR
Prominent Chattanooga Banker
Announces His Candidacy Sub
ject to August Primary.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, June d.
Following repeated and wide
spread opportunities on the part Of
democrats in all sections of Tennessee,
Thomas B. Preston, president of the
Hamilton National Bank in this city,
late tonight decided to enter The race
for the democratic nomination for gov
ernor. Mr.. Preston has vast business
interests and was loathe to enter the
race on this account, but SO insistent
has been the demand that he an
nounces that he finally capitulated.
His announcement in full is as fol-
lows:
"rhere is widespread desire, not
only in Tennessee but throughout the
country, to place public affairs on a
sound business basis. This is the ten
dency everywhere and in everything.
In Tennessee it has been forty years
since we have had governor who has
had any extensive business experience
and for many wears this state has had
few definite constructive policies.
Our opportunities have been wasted
and our energies dissipated along the
lines Of factional politics until the peo-
pie of this state are now realizing the
lamentable fact that we are relatively
declining in both population and
wealth. Some of the rich agricultural
counties of this state have actually
lost in population for over thirty years.
We are losing standing as state, both
at home and abroad. Much capital
and many desirable citizens are going
elsewhere that should come to Tennes-
see. Our population for the ten-years
period ending with l9lOincreased only
81 per cent-less than any state in the
South except one. The expenses of
conducting the state government dur
ing approximately the same period
actually increased over so per cent.
"Whether or not majority of the
people really desire change in their
offairs and care TO put men of business
experience in charge no one can now
tell.
"Our laws of taxation need revising
from start to finish. Under. our PIES
ent system, great harm is being done
to both capital and labor. j.
1--WE have no adequate system of
auditing public records, either county
or state. The people do not know how
their funds are collected or expended,
except IN most general way. We
have nearly 400 state banks with mil
lions of dollars in assets and no public
system of examination, the largest
state in the union of which this is
true.
"The cost of criminal prosecutions
in Tennessee is said to exceed that of
any other state in the union. ThOus-
ands of dollars annually could be
saved in criminal costs alone, besides
more effective administration for law
and order, which is so much needed
here and elsewhere.
"There seems to he desire to urge
some man who has had business expe-
| rience to become candidate for gov
ernor. Many have suggested my name
in that connection. The emoluments
of the office in no sense appeals to me,
the honors of course do, but not suffi-
GENTLY for this alone to cause me TO
