"Twenty-four hours" she answer
ed with confidence, "and by that time
we will have tided over the stress.
You are the only one who has re-
ceived hint of the truth. 1t would
be cruel to crush troubled old man
who will surely come out all right
DUTY is duty, and with freedom ]

Listen" spoke my fair gaolers
you will be glad of my action later

ployer, so l have done desperate
act. You can be made comfortable
in your temporary prison. l will pass
through the bars whatever of food
you care for, and cigars. Twill talk
with you, read to you. There is a
piano in the nearest living room. l
will, if you choose, play and sing for
you"
Charming l laughed; truly so.
But what of the penalty to me of re-
naming absent from my work."
you shall not suffer for it." said
Miss Purcell, quietly and reas-
suringly.
l never spent so pleasant an even
ing, despite my awkward situation.
Miss Purcell brought me meal that
was delicious She conversed with
me, she read her favorite poems to
me, she supplied me with some choice
Havanas that old Israel Meyer must
have imported-of course, at bar
gain. Then she left me to sleep on
some blankets she had passed
through the bars at the door.
About the middle of the night !
awoke. heard strange boring
sound. 1t was beside a boEted iron
trap in the concrete floor right at my
side. This led to a cellar where the
coarser dresses were stored. | Law

beside a desk and waited, expecting
and hoping to see the charming Miss
Purcell.
Upon the desk lay an open letter,
apparently just received. At a glance
/ saw it was addressed to Miss Pur-
cell and from Meyer. 1t told her that
the manager of their great branch
house in another city had disappear
ed with almost it's entire cash capital,
which meant feature and ruin I'M
less"
A step behind me prevented my
reading further. 1t was Miss Purcell,
but l had already gained a great tip.
The house of Israel Meyer was in
solvent and that item of news be-
longed to my agency.
If the beautiful clever girl whom l
arose to greet guessed that was the
possessor of news vitality perilous to
the interests of the employer to
whom she was loyal, she superbly
concealed it. AS spoke such words
as casual call" new statement"
and the like, she smiled graciously
and took from the desk a signed
audited statement showing the bust
ness in the most solvent condition in
the world
GAS of the twenty-f1fth," she re-
minded. ''By the way, as you are
here have you ever looked over our
stock? No? 1t will evidence the
great and varied business we do" and
she led the way to the open vault
doorway guarded only by the heavily
barred inner door, She bowed me
ahead of her-click!
The door had crashed to upon me,
shutting me into the vault helpless
prisoner. l watched my captor run to
the front door and close and lock it
to prevent any intrusion of an out
slider. Her eyes were dancing with
excitement, her pretty face flushed

tional Guard have never been doubted in
any quarter but its efficiency, measured
by that Of the regular army, has been
questioned, and in some quarters il still
questioned. though the standard to which
it has been compared is probably higher
than that Of any other regular army in
the world. The general level Of efficiency
Of the National Guard is so much higher
than ever before that discussion Of this
phase Of the matter is scarcely worth
while. The process of nationalizing the
guard and bringing it more and more
closely under the authority and eye OF
the War Department has gone on steadi-
ly since the act Of Congress approved
January q, 1903. ito promote the eficien-
cy Of the militia and for other purposes"
That act provided that the organization,
armament and discipline OF the organized
militia in the several states and terri
tories and in the District OF Columbia

Washington Wanderlusters.

The Washington wanderlusters Will
be afoot along the roads and the wood
land paths tomorrow, and 1t Is the
belief of the organizers of this walk
ing crusade that a large crowd OF in
door as we'll as outdoor men and wom-
en- will be wooed into tramping
through the country around Washing
ton. Success ought to attend this
open-air movement. which offers to
provide a healthful, instructive and
cheap Sunday outing for every man
and woman who chooses to go along.
In addition to leading a throng into
the open the organizers hope, with the
assistance of qualified persons. to
popularize practical nature study. and a
goodly number Of persons who have vol
as wanderlust aids held q meet
ing in the Board Of Trade rooms last
night to perfect arrangements for the
walking trip tomorrow. The virtue
and benefit Of outdoor walking are
generally appreciated, but tho wander
lusters are intent on urging and en-
as many persons as possible
to put into practice what they all know
to be sound theory.
