Bennington. "Of course, I'm much
obliged to you, personally, for this
friendly tip"
Bennington shrugged his shoulders.
The warning may give you time
either to raise the money or to get the
things back"
Underwoods dark eyes flashed with
suppressed wrath, as he retorted:
"Of course, l can get them all back
in time. Damn it, you fellows don't
know what 1t costs to run this kind
of business successfully One has to
spend a small fortune to keep up ap-
pearances. These society people won't
buy If they think you really need the
money. I've had to give expensive din
ners and spend money like water even
to get them to come here and look at
the things. You must give me time
to make a settlement. l need at least
month"
Bennington shook his head. There
was a hard, incorporating look In
his face as he replied caustically:
They're coming for the things to-
morrow. I thought It fair to let you
know. | can do no more.
Underwood stopped short.
Tomorrow" he echoed family.
"Yes," said Bennington grimly. "You
might as we'll understand the situation
thoroughly. The games up. The firm
has been watching you for some time.
When you tried to sell these things to
old Defries for one-quarter their real
value he instantly recognized where
they came from. He telephoned
straight to our place. You've been
Swallowed by detectives ever since.
There's a man outside watching this
place now"
MY God!" exclaimed Underwood.
''Why are they bounding me like
this?"
Approaching Bennington quickly, he
grasped his hand.

you and I've always been on the
square. Can't you tell them it's all
right? Can't you get them to give me
timer"
Before the manager could reply the
telephone bell rang sharply, Under
wood started. An expression Of fear
came over his face. Perhaps the firm
had already sworn out a warrant for
his arrest. He picked up the receiver
to answer the call.
What name is that7" he demanded
over the telephone. The name was re-
peated and with a gesture of relief he
exclaimed:
"Howsrd Jenriesi-what on earth
does he want7 I can't see him. Tell
him I'm"
Bennington took his hat and turned
to go:

as he hung up the receiver mechan-
ically. "It's only that Internal ass

Il must" said the manager. AS he
went toward the door he made a close
scrutiny Of the walls as If searching
for something that was not there.
Stopping short, he said:
II don't see the Velasquez"
'No-no," stammered Underwood
nervously. TITS out-out on proba-

for everything"
Mr.. Bennington continued his In
spection.
II don't see the Gobelin tapestry"
he said laconically.

Arrangements have also been made with other mag ,azines for material of a new character and it is expected. also, that some highly unique and valuable photo- graphs will be obtained, MT. Loomis being an expert photographer.
 The route from New York to Miami, Fla, is entirely inland, with the ex- ception of 160 miles off the Carolina coast, and includes the waters of Del aware river, Chesapeake bay, Abe marie sound, Pamlico sound, St. Johns river, Indian river. and numer- ous smaller lagoons, lakes and rivers. This portion of the route is we'll known and is taken annually by a great many motor boatmen, sometimes in very small boats From Miami to Key West the route is practically an inland some on account of the numer- ous sand keys and islands which dot the coast. The route along the Gulf coast is more exposed. but harbors are numerous and wit hcare this more novel part of the trip should be com pleted and the objective point reached without mourning any great danger. The party expects to be gone all win ter, returning probably by steamer in the early spring. Querida II. will sail under the colors of the New York Motor Boat club, of which organiza- tion MT. Burnham is member, the Yale Corinthian Yacht club of New Haven, and the Chelsea Boat club of this city.

Humorists in Politics.

There is some curiosity in regard to the tenor of the campaign to be made by Job Hedges, republican candidate for governor of New York. MT. sIIedges, if elected, probably would be the first humorist that ever reached the governorship of New York, but Wisconsin, which Is a very serious state, had for governor the author of Pecks Bad Boy, and the late Fiddling Bob Taylor was governor of Tennessee and senator of the United States.
 The late Tom Reed of Maine was a humorist as well as a writer of witty poetry, but when asked why he did not have some of his humorous thoughts and sayings printed, he said it would injure him with the public,

BURNS HAS MESSAGE OF HOPE
Celebrated Detective Declares Country Constantly Growing Better-Peope Not Leaving All to the Corrupt Boss Large Audience at Slater Hall Heard the Famous Round CT Up of Criminals High and Low.

every instance before any reform comes to pass. Only the hundreds of lives lost on the Titanic brought steamship reform. Only the 21 souls blown into eternity by the McNamara brothers aroused people to investigate although 105 explosions had already destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property.
 Mir Burns gave thrilling stories of his adventures with crooked attorneys in the Los Angeles trial. The lies they told for effect upon the jury, the threats they made upon his life, the fees they extracted and the way they bribed and threatened witnesses show how necessary it is for all good peo- pie to support the law and uphold the officers of the law in their conflict with those people who find it neces- sary for their own nefarious interests to take human life. Never in this country will men be permitted to take human life and get away un- punished, not even if they have a strong organization behind them.

There was large attendance at the lecture by William J. Burns at Slater hall on Friday evening, In spite or the famous deteetives declaration that he could not hypnotize- even a cat, he seemed to hold his audience in the most intense interest throughout the evening-their rapt attention being broken only by the ripples of laughter that followed his witty sallies and the deafening applause at his conclu- sion.
 Has a Message.
 MT, Burns says that he has mes- sage to the people of this country. He is often asked whether the coun- try is getting better or worse. Ills answer is that it is better than 1t ever has been before and that it IS getting better all the time. The req son for this is that the people are not leaving things entirely to the cor rupt boss, but are selecting-where they are permitted to do so-their own candidates for office.
 The responsibility and the disgrace of the pernicious evils found in large cities are upon the men who fail to do their duty as good citizens and to take an active interest in politics.
 Corruption in San Francisco.
 San Francisco was the greatest ex- ample of how low and corrupt city government could be. There the poll fical boss had arranged things on scientific principles to respond to him for all kinds of graft. After the five double lines of men filed into his office, to ask his permission t6 rebuild, until one day the newspapers announced that an investigation was being made. Then small pox seemed to have nit the office suddenly. The man with the lead pipe went around murdering people, finally in broad daylight Then at last the people awoke and some thing was done.

Street Crowds In Caracas.

One of the features of the city OF
Caracas, Venezuela, that most strongly
impresses foreigner is the rapidly
with which crowd gathers In the
streets. This is best exemplified when
some Of the many wandering musi-
clans, in whom Caracas abounds, pre-
pare to give an impromptu open air
concert. Their first notes no sooner
echo through the nelghborhood than
there gathers to listen vast throng
that almost blocks up the thorough
fare. The cobblers and all the other
tenants Of the entries, having no doors
to open or stairs to descend, are on
the spot almost instanter. They eager
" drink in the music. but at the same
time bear a wary eye upon the hats Of
the musicians and no sooner do they
observe the slightest indication that
one is about TO be taken Off for the
purpose Of taking up a collection by
passing 1t around among the crowd
than they disappear even more quickly
than they came.
