thing in his tone that arrested general attention.
Markham looked at the speaker from underneath
bushy gray eyebrows. "What do you mean?' he asked
barshly.
At that moment the door of Charges room opened

rk December day was drawing to a
close, and the clerks at Derrick,
Sayers & Co.'S waited impatiently
for the striking hour that should
free them for the joys of Christmas.
The heads of the firm had departed
long since for their nice, comfortable
homes in the suburbs, and the
thoughts of Charges, the manager,
were divided about equally between
his genteel semidetached villa and
the typewriter correspondence he
was rapidly signing for mail. In the
outer office work had already ceased
and there was a low hum of talk.

But the change was there. nevertheless.
The gray tint just round the eyes. the
stony look in the pupils themselves, q
tiny speck of moisture round the wing OF
each nostril. Col. Harris had not looked
at Luke while he spoke OF the stick. He
was staring straight in front OF him,
hardly conscious Of the silence which
had cast a strange and mystic spell Oh
these three people standing here in the
banal atmosphere Of a London hotel
1t was Luke who broke the silence He
said, quite quietly, asking the question

Indifferent matter:
did Sir Thomas show YOU the stick?
The colonel nodded in acquiescence-
1T was my stick. l suppose
The query was so sudden, SO unexpect-
ed that Col. Harris instinctively uttered
an exclamation of Amusement.
Luke! BY God, man! Are YOU mad?
Louisa said nothing. She was trying to
understand the understandable. Luke
almost smiled at the other mans be-
wilderment.

The Washington Saengerbund will hold
masquerade In its own hall Monday
evening. This action was taken after
careful elaboration by the board OF d.
rectors as the best means to make il an
occasion Of special enjoyment for its
members and their woman friends only.
The entire house will be turned over for

play dance music, while in the lower hall
another section Of the band will furnish

but only make up their minds that 1
even seem to trouble about the weapon
with which the murder was committed
1.-THE weapon?
The ejaculation, spoken hardly above
whisper, had come from Col. Harris. Once
more the old man felt-as he had done in
his brother-in-law's office-that every
drop of blood in him had receded back to
his heart. and that he would choke II he
attempted to utter another word.
"They say continued Luke. quietly,
that Philip was killed by the thrust Of

owner?'

There was silence in the room now for
the space OF few brief seconds. A ST.

Trouble of Militia
in Securing Supply.

airy have even greater difficulty in get
ting suitable horses. Squadron c. Brook
Ign, N Y. National Guard. Is solving the
problem in part by owning and conduct
ing a breeding farm where Its remount
horses are bred. For most militia organ
izations, however. the hired horse is a
NECESSITY, even IL he Is a source OF pain
and discomfort to his rider and heavy
expense to the state.
It is a strange fact that while the
United States has more horses than any
other country on the globe. except Rus
STA, and while there were plenty of horses
to supply the vast demand of both armies
in the civil war, the rise of the draft
horse and the decline of the lighter horse
leaves America with smaller visible and
prospective supply Of army-type horse
flesh than any other principal country.
The War Department feels that American
cavalry. mounted on horses of draft stock
breeding. would stand precious little snow
of offsetting foreign cavalry mounted on
real cavalry horses.
