THE POOL Of FLAME
A STORY OF ADVENTURE AND IN
TRIGUE
(By Louis Joseph Vance)
CHAPTER Ill.

AS he stepped out of the lift Colonel
O'Rourke remarked a light in his
room, visible through the transom
| over the door,
THE femme de chambre," he
| thought. Sure and the poor things
still busy trying to clear up >"
To the contrary, he found the door
fast. Tfs careless she was to leave
the light on" he observed. fitting his
key in the lock-
IL thoughtless IN that one way, the
woman had fulfilled the letter of her
word In the other. It was with COM
prehensive relief (since he anticipated
| caller) that he found the room once
again presentable.
But one thing surprised him; and
more surprising still was the fact that
his ordinarily Indifferent eye should
have detected it at the first glance.
He had indeed hardly entered before
he became aware Of square of white
paper tucked in the corner of the bu-
reau mirror.
The divvle. now!" he greeted It.
Thats curious. Could one Of
me many admirers have bribed the
femme de chambre to bring a note to
me?' He chuckled, holding to the
light much soiled envelope, grimy
with the marks of many fingers, plas-
tered with stamps and black with
postage marks and substitute ad-
dresses, having evidently been for
warded over half the world before 1t
reached the addressee: who was,
In a bold hand. Colonel Terence
O'Rourke"
He whistled low over this, examin-
ing it intently, Infinitely less concern
ed with its contents than with the
manner by which it had reached him.
The first postmark seemed to be that
Of Rangoon, the original address, the
Cercle Militaire, his club In Paris
Thence. apparently, it had sought him
In Galway, Ireland, Dublin, Paris again,
and f1nally-after half a dozen other
addresses-"C. of Nine. O'Rourke, Ho-
tel Carlton, London" The London
postmark was indecipherable i.
He found himself trembling violent
ly. By one hand alone could this
have reached him, since the post had
not brought it to Monte Carlo. -. :.
He recalled that woman's voice which
had SO stirred him, the woman of the
Casino whose bearing had seemed to
him so familiar
Some one tapped on the door; he
smothered curse of annoyance, and
went to answer, thrusting the letter
into his pocket
A page announced Monsieur 1e
Comte des Trebes.
SHOW the gentleman up" snapped

agreement of the candidates in their
diagnosis of the condition of the couf-
try. They all, with one accord, admit
that conditions are wrong and should
be readjusted. They all agree that the
existence of powerful trusts and mon
opolies in private hands is a genuine
danger to the country. They all agree
that the tariff must be revised and re-
vised downward. They all believe that
the government functions should be
somewhat extended. Upon this dag
nosis, which is practically the diagnos-
is which Bryan and the populists were
crying in the wilderness twenty years
|ago, they may all call themselves pro-
greSSiveS. But the test comes when the
remedies are talked of. Harmon, Taft,
Underwood and Clark would adjust the
tariff and prosecute the trusts. They
would treat the symptoms. But the
real progressives, LaFollette, Wilson
and Roosevelt, would go deeper. They
say that the difficulty is not merely the
tariff and the trusts, but the control Of
the government by those trusts and
other moneyed interests. They would
strike at the root of the difficulty by
demanding more popular government, a
more direct democracy. If once the
people can be placed in power over
their own affairs by means of direct
primaries, direct election of United
States senators, direct presidential pri-
maries and such devices the initia-
tive, referendum and recall then they
can be trusted to settle the economic
questions we'll and fully. The difference
between the conservatives and the pro-
gressives in this campaign is funda-
mental. The conservatives believe that
| the people cannot be fully trusted; the
progressives believe that they can. 1t
| is because LaFollette and Wilson have
| convinced people of the sincerity of
| this belief that the whole field is
| against them. AS for Roosevelt, he be-
lieves in trusting the people provided
| he is around to tell them what to do.

and stronger had thrown an old man
down and was giving him an unmer-
ciful licking. The plDcky woman
stood it as long as she could, then
jumping from the machine ran over
to where the men were struggling and
gave the victorious brute a few good
cuffs on the side OF his face that SUI
prised him and caused him to yell
for mercy. When he saw who had
appeared upon the scene, he skunk
away with a terribly surprised look
on his face
The brave little woman is all right
and is being congratulated by such of
her friends who have learned Of the
affair.
