of closing door somewhere. 'Sir. CraneS

She led the way through the door By
which she had entered, across a somewhat
formal room furnished as a parlor ana
thence into a hallway. This, as BerS
guessed correctly, was the fanily's part Of
the house. The Office door was open, and
Bert followed Nan inside.
Here's the new boy, daddy" she ans
nounced in businesslike tones A middle
aged gentleman, grizzled of hair and com
fortably stout, arose from his desk chaiI
and turned to Bert with a kindly smile
and outStretcned hand-

"Ah, yes. And you're going into tbs

Merton Is absent and 30 I'll show you
your room myself. Later Wen have q
talk together. Come this way, Bryant"
Bert rescued his bag, coat and cap in
the hall and followed the Doctor up the
stairs. In front Of a partly open door the
Doctor paused aud knocked.
Come in!' called a voice gayly. When
they entered Bert saw FIVE boys lounging
about the room. At sight of the Doctor,
however, they all sprang respectfully to
their feet.
Ben" announced the Doctor, this Is
your new room mate, Albert Bryant.
Bryant, this is Benson Holden. And
here is Lowell and Perkins and Pierce and
Waters" Bert shook hands all around.
Make Bryant at home, boys" continued
the Doctor. "One of you might give him
a hand with his trunk, if you will Every
thing all right, Benz
"Yes, sir, thank you"
The Doctor withdrew and Bert was
left facing the curious and critical glances
of the five seniors 1t was Benson HoI-
den who first broke the ensuing silence.
Ben dropped on the bed, threw out his
hands in utter despair and nodded at
Bert.

like any school he had ever seen, and he
began to wonder whether by mistake he
had stumbled into some ones private
house. But from above came unmistak-
able sounds-boys' voices in laughter and
the scurrying of feet. Bert began to
study the many closed doors, intending
presently, IL no one came, to knock at
one of them. But before he had made a
choice some one did come. A door behind
him opened suddenly and a girl of four
teen burst in, caught sight of the new
conner and paused in surprise. Bert
turned, and for a moment the two OBJ
served each other in frank curiosity.
What Bert saw was a girl in a sailor
suit of some dark blue material, a girl
with a pretty, animated face, blue eyes
and golden brown hair which at the back
descended to her waist in heavy braid.
What the girl saw was q good looking
boy of her own age with a sturdy figure,
a pleasant eountenance, brown eyes and
hair and q good supply Of freckles.
"Hello!" she said finally.

CALLS ROOSEVELT
 THE BIGGEST BOSS
Ex-Attorney General Bing- ham of Indiana Says
 Colonel Is, Power Mad


 Logansport, Ind, Aug. 7-"Dp you think that if Edwin M. Lee had been appointed United States Marshal he would now be out organizing Bull Moose Party? Do you think that if Albert J. Beveridge had been re-elect- ed to the United States Senate he would now be leading the third par ty? Do you think that if Fred Lan- dis had been returned to Congress, he would now be a candidate for Lieu tenant Governor on the Bull Moose ticket?" asked James A. Bingham for mer Republican State Attorney Gen eral, addressing the Republican Coun- ty Convention.
 The reply was a chorus of t.No'' that resounded throughout the conven- ton hall.
 ''The party was good enough for them while they were in office, but now that they are out it is not. The party was all right when they could run the party, bat now that they can no longer run 1t, why, they go out and organize a party that they can run, ; exclaimed Mir. Bingham.
 The speaker charged that Col. Roose- welt is the biggest boss that the coun- try has ever known. He said:
 Not only is Roosevelt a boss, but he is q. despotic boss He is power mad and won't stop at anything. Four years ago he jamined a candi- date down the throat of the people, a month ago he tried to jam himself down the same throat, and when he found that he could not do so he went off and made a new throat, which he is going to jump down this week.

PRINCE RANJI TRIES
 ANOTHER HONEYMOON

New York, Aug. TIA young man of Oriental cast Of counte0ance appeared at the Marriage license Bureau at the City Hall yesferdaY. acconpanfed by a young woman who gave hgr name on the marriage noense affidavit blank as Miss Violet Ethel Rnchlitz, 20 years old, of 4 East Twenty second street, and secured license to mar ry Tle-young man, who spoke Eng lish fftlently was willing enough to talk about himself and to furnish sthe information that he was Prince Ranji Smile, fifth son of the late Ameer of Beluchistan and brother of the pres ent Ameer.
 No sooner had the pair got their wedding papers than they sought out Alderman McCann in the Marriage Bureau and were married. Then they departed on their honeymoon, which the bridegroom said would be spent at Long Beach, Atlantic City and oth- CT seaside resorts, after which they would sail for Delhi there to open a hotel on American lines for Ameri- can tourists. This venture into trade was to be not entirely for the pur- pose of relieving American pockft- books, he declared, but for the more altruistic purpose of affording to for eigners travelling in his country a de- gree of comfort that they have here tofore lacked.
 Prince Ranji Smile-pronounced by himself and others when they first meet him, Rangee Srnilay-fIas figured in the public prints on numerous occa- way where the lights shine brightest there are scores of freuuerkers Of the gayer restaurants who can recall Joe Smile, quondan chef at Sherrys, Prince Ranjf is Joe Smile.
 The Prince has always laid much stress on his relationship 60 the Ameer of Beluchistan, much more stress. as a matter of fact, than some who knew him best thought necessary. There have been runors. base and scandal- ous talk, doubtless, that he is not of the royal line at all in the Asiatic country, but Smile has always insist ed that he is correct.
 Not so very long ago lle brought out a picture of himself on the adver-; tisement of a hostelry graced by his backing in which much of the gor- geous princely. raiment of the East was exposed in the adornment of his person. If this be not proof of his claims one must be an iconoclast in- deed.
 In April 1909, the Prince had a cab man arrested at the close of weird night along the Great White Way and haled him before a judge on the charge of robbery. Magistrate House in the west Side Police Court exam ined into the many angles of the case and in the end turned the prisoner out. It wasn't so very long after this episode that Ranji Smile went to the City Hall for license, to marry Miss Davies, and shortly the patrons of his hotel at Oscawana Island were 1n- formed, per circular with photographs that the son of the Ameer was on tour of the principal cities of the coun- try with his royal consort.

KENNEDY MAY HAVE FIELD TO HIMSELF
Expects No Fight for Demo cratic Congressional Nom
 inatipn in Fifth District

Local Democratic politicians, those who consider themselves familiar with what that party is going to do next and who claim to get their inforna- tion from the moguls who assembled at New Haven at the last convention, were somewhat surprised at the an nouncement that ex-Senator William Kennedy of Naugatuck was out for the nomination as Congressman from the Fifth District, says the Waterbury American. It seemed to have been generally understood at New Haven. according to one of the party leaders, here, that Attorney William E. Thons former Mayor, should have the nom- nation, and hence the surprise. Fol- lowing MT. Kennedys announcement of his candidacy came the rumor that MT. Thonls had withdrawn from the field.
 When MT. Kennedy was seen yester- day he said he was out to win.
 Is it true that you are not going to make fight for the nomination?' MT Kennedy was asked.
 I do not intend to make a fight for the reason that I do not expect that there will be a fight and so if the 1 nomination is rendered me, [ will ac- cept it. So far as I understand, am the only candidate now in the fleld."
 ! On being asked if he had heard any thing about MT. T71oms withdrawing, he said: T did not know that ME. Thons was out for the nomination, for I have not read any anno1ace- n1ent of his to that effect. So tf1a k have the field to myself When MT. Thoms was asked this morning about the candidacy of Mr Kennedy he said he had no statement to make at present and perhaps would not have any to make at all. He also maintained silence about the rll- n1or that he had withdrawn from the field as the candidate from the Fifth, and, in fact, had nothing at all to say for publication
 Various opinions can be heard among Democrats on the prospects of the ex- Senator from the Rubber Borough. Mir. Kennedy is known as 8 Bryan Democrat in these regions and once had the pleasure of the company of the peerless leader at his home in Naugatuok- He saideto the reporters to-day: M
