MAY HEAR I. R.

The New Jersey ~Progressives may
have Colonel Roosevelt as one of the
speakers at their convention in AS
bury Park next Friday. If his en-
gagements will permit him the colonel
will attend, it is said. Many of the
leading men in the Progressive move
ment are expected to be present at
the convention to address the meet
ing.
A plan of action to be followed by
the Roosevelt men in New Jersey will
be decided upon, and steps will prob
ably be taken looking to the nominal
ton by petition of candidates for the
Legislature in every county of the
State.
Line Is Sharply Drawn. r
The movement represents a definite
severing of a large body of voters
from the Republican party, even to
the extinguishment Of the name.

lieved, Is the designation under which
the candidates of the new third party
will run. BY this step it is believed
that mor voters will be attracted
to the cause than if the word Repub-

is hoped to draw from the Democratic
as well as from the Republican ranks.
The launching of the new party in
New Jersey means that none of the

the movement will be candidates for

Ryanne, assured that no one he knew
was about, proceeded into the writing
room, wholly deserted ut this early
| hour.
He sat down at a desk and opened
the cable. It contained exactly what
he expected. 1t was call for ad-
vice in regard to the rental of Mr..
George P. A. Jones mansion in New
York and the temporary disposing Of
the loose valuables. Ryanne read 1t
over a dozen times, with puckered
brow, and finally balled it fiercely in
his fist. Fool! He could not, at that
moment, remember the most essen
tial point in the game, the name and
office Of the agent to whom he must
this very morning send reply. Hur-
riedly he fished out the letters; one
chance in a thousand He swore, but
in relief. In the corner of one Of she
letters he saw that for some unknown
reason the gods were still with bim.

a reply on a piece of hotel paper, in

convincingly. Renting for two
months. Old friends. Leave things
as they are. P. A." The initials
were a little stroke From some
source Ryanne has picked up the fact
that Jones business correspondence
was conducted over those two initials.
He tore up the cable into small illegi-
BILE squares and dropped some into one
basket and some into another. Next,
he readdressed Georges mail to Leip-
zig; another stroke, meaning a delay
of two or three months; from the
head office of his bankers there to
Paris, Paris to Naples. Naples to New
York. That Ryanne did not cren
these letters was in nowise d. 70
moral suasion; whatever they con.
tanned could be of no vital Importance
to him.
Now, Horace, we shall bend the
crook of our elbow in the bar-room.
The reaction warrants a stimulant."
An hour later the whole affair was
nicely off his hands. The cable had
cost him three sovereigns. But what
was that? Niente, rien; nothing; a
mere bagatelle. For the first time in
weeks sense of security invaded his
being.
1t was by now o'clock; and Per
cival Algernon ctill reposed upon his
bed of ease. Let him sleep. Many
days were to pass ere he would again

luxury of down under his ear.

inconceivable how easily mail may be
purloined in large hotel. There are
as many ways as points to the wind
Ryanne chose the simplest. He waited
for the mailbag to be emptied upon
the head-porter's counter. Nonchal-
antly, but deftly, while the porter
looked on, the adventurer ran through
the bulk. He found three letters and
a cable, the latter having been re-
ceived by Georges bankers the day
before and mailed directly to the ho-
tel. The porter had no suspicion that
bold theft was being committed un-
der his very eyes. Moreover, circum-
stanSNs prevented his ever learning
of it. Ryanne stuffed the spoils into
pocket.
''If any one asks for me-" he said,

"Yes, sir" replied the porter, as he
