Dick Was Brought In.

"A minute later Dick, in charge Of
an officer, was brought into the room.
He was pale, little disheveled from
his hours in a cell. He still wore
his evening clothes Of the night be-
fore. His face showed clearly the
deepened lines, craven by the suffer-
ing to which he had been subjected,
but there was no weakness in his ex-
preston. Instead, a new force that
love and sorrow had brought out in
his character was plainly visible. The
strength Of his nature was springing
TO fun life under the stimulus Of
the ordeal through which he was
passing.
The father went forward quickly,
and caught Dicks hands in a mighty

CHAPTER XXI.

Burke, despite his quality Of heavi-
ness. was blest with a keen sense of
humor against which at times his
professional labors strove mutinously.
In the present instance he had failed
utterly to obtain any information of
value from the girl whom he had just
been examining. on the contrary he
had been befooled outrageously by d
female criminal, in manner 10
wound deeply his professional pride.
Nevertheless, he bore no grudga
against the adventures His sense
of the absurd served him we'll. and he
took a lively enjoyment in recalling
the method by which her plausible
wiles had beguiled him. lie gave her
a real respect for the adroitness with
which she had deceived him-and he
was not one to be readily deceived.

out of the door under the escort of

learned that Edward Glider was ar
rived, ordered that the magnate and
the district attorney be admitted, and
that the son, Also be sent up from
his cell.

said, with hearty sympathy TO the
shaken father after the formal greet
iugs that followed the entrance of the
two men. It's a very bad business. 20

GERMANS TO ADD TO
AFRICAN EMPIRE

BERLIN, May 25.-According to re-
ports in circulation in well,informed
political quarters Germany is about
TO obtain a free hand to expand her
colonial empire in Central Africa as
the price of surrenderlng her rights
in the Persian Gulf section of the
Bagdad Railway. This is said to be
the compensation which the Ger
man government is demanding Of
England in return for consenting to
the pending Anglo Turkish Convention
whereby Great Britain acquires control
of the terminal of the Bagdad Road
and practical possession of the strategic
harbor of Koweit ON the Persian Gulf.
Germany is to be permitted, if these
reports are accurate, forthwith to ne
gotiate with Belgium and Portugal for
the creation of vast traffic system in
Central Africa wherein the voice of the
German government shall be paramount.
This is euphonious way of putting the
fact that the Kaiser is to be allowed to
reaiize hishiong. eAesiahedi ambition TO
absorb the bulk of Portuguese Africa
and acquire large slice of the Bel
gian Congo without opposition by Great
Britain.
A settlement on these terms, of which
the German press and public are not
yet generally aware, would probably be
considered square deal with Great
Britain, although the Abandonment of
the German terminal of the Bagdad
Railway is sore blow to Teutonic
pride. it1.A Wh .IuH - ~
The press is filed with anxiety lest
the deal with England, when finally
made known. shonbl prove, to provide
inadequate Compensation for the
sacrifice Germany is called upon to
make. The Neuste Nachrichten re-
grets that this Anglo German bargain
ing cannot be handled by Bismarck,
which would insure Germany's driving
hard bargain. The Vossische Zeitung
hopes that it will be found that Ger
many has received something more sub
stantial than mere protestations of Brit
ish friendship.

THE CITY MANAGER" PLAN.

New York Press:-How hard it is
to conceive of graft, or peanut politics,
or open wastefulness in a system like
this, which has heen put into effect in
Sumter, South Carolina, town of
10000 inhabitants. Three commission
ers, whose aggregate salaries amount
to 500 year and who are not expect
ed to give up their private business,
are elected by the people. One of them
bears the title of mayor. They are au.
thorized to appoint and have appointed
u city manager Mt 0 salary of $25OO,
regardless of whether he is a voter in
Sumter or somewhere else, or whether
he is voter at all. 1t happens that
he is a practical engineer. When the
city manager of Sumter needs piece
of work done it ism It at all likely that
the man who is to do it will be select
ed because he has; a "pull." 1t is
much more probable that he will be
chosen because for the work he is the
best man that can be had. And II
supplies are needed it is a pretty safe
guess they will be bought where they
can be obtained to the best advantage,
rather than from some one who adds
rakeoff to the price. Sumter is little
in size, but big enough in ideas to ven
ture trial of at least modification
of the German system of municipal gov
ernment which, so far as appears on
the face of the record, gives the best
service of all that have yet been found.
