Black Hundred was given a temporary
job and went by the name of Gregg.
For three days he worked faithfully,
abstaining from his favorite tipple.
He had never worked in New York,
SO his record was unknown. He had
told the city editor that he had worked
on Chicago paper, now defunct.
He paid no attention whatsoever to
Norton, a sign of no little acumen.
On the other hand Norton never went
forth on an assignment that Gregg
did not know exactly where he was
going. But all these stories kept Nor
ton in town; and it would be altogeth-
er too risky to attempt to handle him
anywhere but outside of town. So
Gregg had to abide his time.
1t came soon enough.
Norton was idling at his desk when
the city editor called him up to the
wicket.
General Henderson has just re-
turned to America. Get his opinion
on the latest Balkan rumpus. He's
out at his suburban home. Here's the
address"
How long will you hold open for
me?" asked Norton, meaning how long
would the city editor wait for the
story.
IT'LL one-thirty. You ought to be
back by midnight. It's only eight
now.'
"All right Henderson's approach
able. l may get good story out OF
him"
Maybe" thought Gregg, who had
lost nothing of this conversation.
1t was his opportunity. He imme-
diately left the zone of the city desk
for telephone booth. But as he
passed the line of desks and busy
reporters he did not note the keen
scrutiny of smooth faced, gray haired
man who stood at the side of Norton's
desk awaiting the reporters return.
Why, Jones'" cried the surprised
Norton. What are you doing all thii
way from homer"
Orders" said Jones, smiling faint

ly as he delivered note to the re
porter
Anything serious?

ence was rather particular. She want
ed to be sure that the note reaches
your hands safely"
"And do you mean to say that 20

house"
Again Jones smiled. Il left her we
guarded, you may be sure of that. Sh
will never run away again" He wal
ed for Norton to read the note.

escapes than you ever heard of. They

So Florence received a long night
letter in the morning.
And the doctor arrived at about
the same time. And called promptly
upon his patient.
"Fine!" he said. 1.-THE sea air was
just the thing. A doctor always likes
to find his advice turning out we'll"
He glanced quizzically at Florence,
who was the picture of glowing health.
Suddenly he frowned anxiously.
You need not look at me-" she
laughed. 81 never felt better in all

Are you sure?" he asked gravely.
Why, what in the world do you

He did not speak, but stepped for
ward and took her by the wrist, hold
ing his watch in his other hand He
shook his head He looked very
solemn, indeed.
What is it?" demanded Susan,
with growing terror.
go to your own room Immediately
and remain there for the present" he
ordered. II must see Miss Hargreave
alone"
He opened the door and Susan
passed out bewilderedly. He returned
to Florence, who was even more bewil
dered than her companion. The doc
tor began to ask her questions; how
she slept, If she was thirsty, felt pains
in her back. She answered all these
questions vaguely. Not the slightest
suspicion entered her head that she
was being hoodwinked. Why should
she entertain any suspicion? This
doctor, who seemed kindly and benev
olent, who had prescribed for Susan
and benefited her why should she
doubt him?
In heavens name, tell me what is
the matter?" she pleaded
Stay here for little while and
I'll be back. Under no circumstances
leave your room till l return"
He paced out into the hall, to meet
the frantic Susan.
I'VE must see the manager at once,
he replied to her queries. And We
must be extremely quiet about 1t
There must be no excitement Yol
had better go to your room. Yol

Tell me, where have you been? Hav'
you been trying to do any charitable
work among the poorer cIasses?'
"Only once" admitted Susan, nov
on the verge of tears.
"Only once is sufficient. Come
we'll go and see the manager to
gether."
Thav arrived ar the desk and tn
manager was summoned.

The manager fell back against his
desk. his jaw fallen. Susan turned
as white as the marble top.

to have her conveyed Immediately to
some place where she can be treated
properly. Not word to any one now;

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The outlook from the seat of war is not satisfac- tory to the people of England. The admiralty is being criticised for its lack of energy in forcing the Ger mans to fight and for failing to send more aid to Antwerp. The Germans after capturing that city have swept down the coast capturing Ghent and Lille and are now near the coast. The people here fear a raid and ex- pect to see some of the horrors of war in the streets of London. From Capetown the reports indicate that Colonel Moritz is leading revolt against British authority in the South African colonies, and from Russia come reports of the complete defeat for the Russian troops.
 People Are Becoming Aroused.
 The citizens have awakened to the realization that more men are need ed at once to help the allies army in France and recruits are being call ed to the colors. Many enlistments are now coming in and the efforts of the government to have another .5O0,. 900 men to put in the field are ex- pected to be successful.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-Yesterday President Wilson brought additional pressure to bear upon the members of congress in order to secure the passage of the coal land leasing bill, which the conference committee had reported upon but which the Senate refused to accept.
 As a result of the presidents re- quest and urgent appeal a new con- ference committee was named and Senator Thompson replaced Senator Smith, while Representative La Fol lette, of Washington, and Congress- man Taylor, of Arkansas, replaced Lenroot and Graham.
 It is believed now that the bill will be accepted as amended by the new conference committee.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The Nor gan banking house, owning the Cop per River and Northwestern railroad operated out of Cordova to Chitina, today offered to Secretary Lane the railroad at any price the government might wish to give for it; also in the event of refusal of the government to buy they may then have the road under lease and operate it.
 The offer of the sale of the road did not come as a surprise to the Alaskans here, who have expected for some time that the owners of the big white elephant running from Cor dova, which has cost good-sized mint to build and small mint an- nually to keep it open and operate. would seek the first possible chance to unload.
 It is generally believed that the government will refuse to buy the road.

WICK IS ALSO A
 LETTER WRITER

The following letter was written by the anti-Guggenheim howler when he ''longed for the fleshpots of the out side":
 Fairbanks, Alaska, April 8, 1908. Stephen Birch, Esq,
 Seattle, Washington. My Dear Mr. Birch:
 Your letter of March 17th has been received and hasten my answer that it may catch the last mail out over the ice.
 regret that cannot meet you in Seattle the latter part of this month, because one can make ones ideas plainer in conversation than by writ ing, but since the opening of the Ap- Til term of courts prevents it, I shall briefly state the matter by letter.
 I have entered upon the practice of law here, and represent some of the most important interests in the territory, and the outlook for returns is satisfactory, still I long for the fleshpots of the "outside," and would accept an offer from your allied Alas ka interests to act as their general counsel, but not in any subordinate capacity. I will accept a three years contract at $15,OOO per annum with offices in Seattle and office force and maintenance. Upon that sort of an arrangement I would devote my time exclusively to their interests, and give them the best service possible. My opportunities here. however. are so good that could not afford to give them up for less than a three years contract with you. Please advise me by wire if anything is done in con- nection with this offer and it may be thus arranged.
 Remember me to Captain Jarvis.
 Very truly,
 JAMES WICKERSHAM.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The pen sions to be paid by the United States government to the soldiers who fought in the wars of the United States and to the widows and depend ents of the men killed or disabled, totaled $17O.OOO,OO0.

GOLD OUTPUT

 est Producer.

WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-The Geo. logical Survey has issued a statement today giving the output of gold for 1913 as 4,3OO.0O0 ounces. with val ue of nearly s90O,OOo,OO0. This is $4,- 0OO.O00 less than the output of 1912. California led the first of producers with an output of 974,OOO ounces; Col orado had an output of 870,OO0 ounces. while Alaska came third, sending 735, ,000 ounces to the government as- say offices.
 Alaskans in Washington believe that a large part of the gold mined in Alaska is never credited to the north, because it is carried from the territory by miners, who take it East or to California, where it is sold to banks and credited to that state.
