Do not permit your senator. to be
misled into the belief that the bank
ers reflect the sentiment of the
masses of the people as to currency
legislation. The senators are entitled
to communication from the rank
and file Of the Democratic party so
that they may know what the con-
census of opinion may be.-The
Commoner for November.
This suggestion should receive the
prompt attention and action of ev-
cry voter in the United States not
allied or connected with the inter-
ests which are opposing the cur
rency bill, as enacted in the House,
and which has already received the
approval of President Wilson.
To the credit of United States
Senator Ransdell it should be stated
that he is supporting the admins
ration's currency bill and has an
nounced this fact openly.
1t is believed that United States
Senator Thornton is also a sup
porter of this bill, but as far as is
known to the Caucasian he has been
conservative in his pronouncement.
1t is the peoples interest and well
fare which should be safeguarded

The Confessions of Arsene Lupin Tfx y: @

Well, shat Is the most Extraordinary,
the most astounding part OF the story.
once year Charles d'Einemont, I.a.
PEELED by a sort OF subconscIous will
power, came downstairs. took the exact
road wh!cn his father had taken.
walked across the garden and sat down
either on the steps OF the rotunda,
which you see here in tho picture. or
on the curb OF the well. At twenty
seven minutes past Ave he rose and
wen. indoors again; and until his death.
which occurred In 1890. he never once
failed to perform this incomprehenstble
pilgrimage.
We'll. the day on whlch this hap
pened was invariably the 18th Of April.
tho anniversary OF the arrest
Maitre Valandier WAS no longer smil-
ing and himself seemed Impressed by
the amazing story which he was telling
US.
"And since Charles's death" asked
Lupin after . moments reflection.
Since that time" replied the lawyer,
with q certain solemnity OF manner.
for nearly . hundred years the heirs
Of Charles and Pauline dErnsmont have
Kept UP the pilgrimage OF the 18th Of
April During the nrst few years they
made the most thorough excavations.
Every inch Of the garden was searched,
every ciod OF ground dug UP. All this
is now over. They take hardly any
pains.
"A!l they do 10 from time to time, for
no particular reason, to turn over a
stone or explore tho we'll. For the mos
part they are content to sit down on
tho steps Of tho rotunda, like the poor
madmsn, and, like him. they wait And
that, you see. 10 the sad part of their
destiny. In those hundred years all
those psople who have succeeded one
another from father to son have lost
what shall ] say?--the energy OF life.
They have no courage left, no init!a-
tive. They wait
They walt for the 18th OF April. and
when the 18th Of April comes they wait
for a miracle to take place. Poverty
has ended by overtaking every one OF
them. My predecessors and have sold

bits.
But, as to that corner over there,

are all agreed: Louise dErnemont. who
is the direct helress OF Pauline, as well
as the beEgarS, the workman. the foot.

represent the unfortunate Charles"
There Was a fresh pause, and Lupir
asked:
What Is your, own opinion, Ma.tr'
Valandier?"
