CHAPTER XVIII.

-
EN- o'clock of the following
morning found the Harvard
professor formally presenting
his friend, Chester Kent, to Mrs.
Wilfrid Blair at the house of the
cousin with whom she was staying.
my dear" said the old gentleman,
you may trust Professor Kent's
Judgment and insight as implicitly
as his honor. I can give no stronger
recommendation, and will now take
my leave"
Kent resisted successfully a wild
and fearful desire to- set a restrain
ing hold upon the disappearing coat
tails, for embarrassment had again
engulfed the scientists soul. He
seized himself by the lobe of the ear
with that grip which drowning men
reserve for straws. And-to continue
the comparison-the ear sank with
him beneath the waves of confusion.
Mrs. Blair's first words did not great
ly help him.
Have you an earache, Professor
Kent?I she inquired maliciously.
Eyes. No. It's a habit" muttered
the caller, releasing his hold and i'm
mediately resuming it.
Isn't it very painful?"
"Of course it is said he testify;
when I forget to let go in time-as
frequently do"
LAS you are doing now" she sug-
gested.
Kent bestowed final yank upon
the dried fount of inspiration, and
gave it up as hopeless.
81 don't know exactly how to be-
gin" he complained.
"Then | will help you" said she,
becoming suddenly grave. you are
here to speak to me of some topic,
wholly distinct from one forbidden
phase.
Exactly. You make it difficult for
me by that restriction. And | rather
like difficulties-in reason. Let me
see. Have you lost any jewels lately,
Mrs. Blair?'
The girl-widow started. Eyes. How
did you know"
You have made no complaint, OF
published no advertisements for
them?"
81 have kept it absolutely secret

TT might be said that Trafalgar
Square is the result of vision. .
: 1t would be more correct to say
that the career of Admiral Nelson
was tremendously influenced by. a
sudden determination of will which
throughout his life made him face
danger without fiinching. and led to
the great victory that hasNgiven its
name to this famous open spot of
London.
Horatio Nelson was born at Burn
ham Thorpe, Norfolk, September 20,
1858, the son of the. rector of that
place. He received smatterings of
education at Norwich, Downham and
North Walsham, and in ITO, when
only II years old, was entered on the

| SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS.
A body, bearing evidence of wealth. is
found dashed to a grating with one wrist
enclosed ia a handcuff. on the shore of
Lonesome Cove. Professor Kent, scient-
lst happens along and interests himself
In the case
Kent learns of a meeting the pre-.
vious evening between Elder Bennett and
strange woman, who went on to the
home of Francis Sedgwick, an artist and
talked with him for a few minutes. Kent
calls on Sedgwiek and is recognized as
an old college friend.
Sedgwick admits that the strange
woman had on a necklace which he had
often seen Oh the neck of his unknown
visitor. At the inquest over the eorpsT
Elder bennett relates the story of Sedg-
wick's encounter with tho woman, and
tells of the picture in Sedgwick's studio.
Kent proves by cocoon found on
the grating that the body was not
washed ashore as was supposed and
Gansett Jim points an accusing finger at
Sedgwick. Kent and Sedgwiek are ad-
vised by the sheriff to leave town.
Kent figures that the wounds on the
head of the Cove corpse could not have
been caused by blows, but by fall
from the cliff; that the other handcun
was attached to the right wrist Of some
other person. who had broken it of In a
struggle. He sets out to find man
with bruised right wrist.
A picture Sedgwlek had started to paint
and left on an easel had been broken dur
ing his absence by bullet fired from q
the gunner left no track. Kent and Sedg-
wick meet Gansett Jim to effect truce
with the half breed. Kent learns tnat
Blairs son. Wilfred, married Miss Mar
jorie Dofrance who left him inside OF
year because of his wild ways and tnat
Wilfred was brought back to his fatners
home and closely guarded. ., soo4t

which is soon reported. He disguises
himself as a fisherman and watches the
burial. Then, with Sedgwick, he starts

where he finds Wilfred Blair's widow,
his mysterious studio visitor, sitting at
an open window.
Blair enters the room and orders her
to her room and denounees Sedgwick as
a murderer. ~
Kent goes to Boston and visits an
astrologer, whose advertisement lie
found in one of the papers taken by
the Blairs. On the way he sees Mrs.
Blair and arranges to have al mutual
friend Introduce him to her. From
this friend he finds out that Wilfred
Blair disappeared from the house
about the time the strange woman
was seen in the vicinity of Lonesome
Cove and never returned.

repulsed. In 1894 he lost his right
eye at Calvi, and three years later
at Teneriffe his right arm was so
wounded that it had to be ampu-
tated. This year he was one of the
| heroes of the battle of st. Vincent
when the Spanish feet was van
pushed The following year he was
sent to discover the purpose of a
great French fleet forming at Tou-
lon, and after a long chase found
that they had gone to Egypt. The
battle of the Nile destroyed the
French fleet and Nelson was looked
upon as one of the greatest of naval
heroes. 1t was in 1905 that the battle
of Trafalgar was fought, between
the combined fleets of France and
Spain and that of England under
Nelson. At its commencement Nell
son flew the signal England ex-
poets every man will do his duty"
The allies were crushed. and the last
fear of Napoleons ever invading Eng
land was banished. Nelson was NOR
tally wounded, and died in a few
hours with the words, II have done
my duty, thank God for that"
In 1S43 in Nelson's memory the
great pillar, las feet high, was fin
ished with a. colossal statue of the
admiral upon it, and later Sir Edwin
Landseer's lions were added to the
base. This is the central monument
in Trafalgar Square. On all sides
sweeps the tide of London's traffic.

its priceless collection of paintings
of older British and foreign masters,

WILSON AND COMPROMISE
BY H. B. WALKER
slar staR correspondent.
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, May 90.

Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON. May 20.
Democratic senators and others who
disagree with some of President VIII
sons tariff and other views are Won
dering just what he meant by a
statement credited to him in an in
terview a few days ago.
Il am not the kind" the President
was reported as saying, that con-
siders compromise when | have once
taken my position. have taken my
stand with the House leaders for the
present bill Enough said. l am not
looking for or accepting eomprom-
ises.''
View of Senators.
Senators who disagree with the
President on the wool and sugar
schedules have been studying this
statement in the light of the admin
istration's attitude on the jury reform
situation in New Jersey They point
out that if he did not compromise on
this question by agreeing to a refer
endum at the special legislative ses-
sion, after refusing to take bill with
a referendum attached in the regular
session, he at least did something
they would consider as good as a
compromise, if they could get the
same unwavering decision applied to
wool and sugar duties.
The change of attitude of the Pres
ident on the jury question has to
some extent encouraged the sugar
and wool men. While it does not
seem likely that they will carry their
fight to the extent of defeating tariff
revision, the announcement of such
senators as Meyer and Newlands,
that they viii fight to the last against
the destruction of the wool and sugar
industries, is taken as meaning that
the bin which will pass the Senate,
may possibly not be the kind of a
bill the President wants.
Talk of Test.
There is already considerable talk
that the sugar and wool men may
test the Presidents determination by
putting a higher duty on sugar and
retaining the taxes on wool, in the
bill that passes the Senate, and then
threshing out their differences finally
in a conference committee of the two
houses.

Ahsorntion His Plan.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
A happy way has been suggested to
liauidate the differences of the Re-
publicans and Progressives. 1t is
that they remain individual parties
as they are now, but that they both
support the same candidates, thereby
working to the end of combined
party, but neither under the ignominy
of having given in
There is one difficulty with this
plan, however, that seems to have
been overlooked. The Republicans
and Progressives to support the same
men would have to agree on single
platform, and that is impossible. If
they did they would be different par
ties in name only, not in effect.
Then, too, there are a great many
former Democrats among the Pro-
gressives. They Joined the party be-
cause they believed in Progressive
principles, but do you think they
would agree to any platform that
the G. o. P. had a hand in fran
ing? AS followers of the principles
of Thomas jefferson they gained q
feeling against the Republicans thai
grew stronger as the years went by
at least | know that to be the case
in a great MANY instances. and they
would return to the Democratic ranks
if such a plan of platform consolida.
ton were seriously suggested.
| think the only way for the parties
to combine is by process of ABSORB
ton: that is, for the Republicans t,
gradually merge into the Progressiv,
ranks; but, according. to the presen
attitude of the Republicans, ] thinl
the elimination of this plan is i;
