Norton inspected the rooms care
fully, slowing away in his mind every
detail. He might be worrying about
nothing but so many strange things

on the side of caution than on the
side Of carelessness. He left the

to withdraw from this warfare, which
gradually decimated their numbers
without getting anywhere toward the
goal.
Jones shouted that the limousine
was tearing down the road. Some
thing must be done to stop it. He
suggested that he drop behind, leave
his horse, and take chance at pot
ting a tire from the shrubbery at the
roadside.
Keep going. Don't stop, Norton,

kept his head and sought his lodgings.
To call up doctors would be utter
folly; for it would take a week for a
thorough combing. This was the sec

Perhaps I'm to blame" admitted
Braine. 81 should have advised Miles
to stalk him and pot him if he got the
chance. There's a master mind work,

than his companions.

brought home to him the fact that his
luck was changing For years he had
proceeded with his shady occupations
without nnannnfaripu ro hl q
failure. He moved in the high world,
quite unsupported. He had written
books, given lectures, been made lion
OF, all the while laughing in his sleeve
at the gulibiTity of human nature. But
within the last two weeks he had re-
ceived serious checks. From now on
he must move with the utmost caution.
Some one was playing his own game,
waging warfare unseen. A battle of
wits? So be it; but Braine intended
to play with rough wits, and he wasn't
going to care which way the sword
cut. r.,
lie hated Stanley Hargreave with all
the hatred of his soul; the hatred of
man baked in love. And the man was
alive, defying him; alive somewhere
in this city this very night, with bull

your master gives riding lessons?"
The groom who had led the horse
back from Hargreave's eyed his ques-
toner rather superciliously.
Yes" The groom fondled the ami
mails legs.
How much Is it?"
Twenty dollars for ticket Of five
rides. The master is the fashion up
here. He doesn't cater to any but the
best families"
Pretty steep. Who was that young
lady riding this morning with your
master?"
That's the girl all the newspapers
have been talking about" answered
the groom importantly.
"Actress?'
"Actressy I should say not. That
young woman Is the daughter Of Stan

CHAPTER VII.

When all three finally met at the
Hargreave home Florence suddenly
took Jones by the shoulders and
kissed him lightly on the cheek.
Jones started back, pale and dis
turbed.
Norton laughed. He did not feel
the slightest twinge or jealousy, but

he was eaten up with envy, as the old
wives say.
You are wondering il suspect the
Princess Perlgoff?" said Jones.
Il am" This man Jones was de-
veloping into very remarkable char
acter. The reporter found himself
side glancing at the thin, keen face Of
this resOurceful butler. The lobe OF
the mans left ear came within range.
Norton reached for a cigarette, but
his hands shook as he lit it, There
was a peculiar little scar in the cen.
ter OF the lobe.
Well" said Jones, 81 can find no
evidence that she has been concerned

NEWS FROM REPUBLIC

Republic Miners Union No. %, w.
F, NJ, gave a dance on the 9th ult. in
which the proceeds of $166.95 was sent
to the relief of the striking miners in
the copper region of Michigan.
The Socialist local of Republic is in
receipt of a communication from Sena-
tor Miles Poindexter in which he says
he is in hearty sympathy with their
recent resolution asking for a con-
gressional investigation into the strike
situation in Michigan. The senator
said that he was now supporting a
resolution pending in the senate which
provides for such an investigation
He also advises that the department

FROM LOCAL ANACORTES

Anacortes, Wash, Jan. %, 1914
The Commonwealth, Everett, Wash.
Dear Comrades Comrade Morten-
sen was in yesterday and told me
about the arrangement he made with
you for 200 copies of the Common
wealth. Enclosed find So for same.
Send them as a bundle and the COM
rades here will distribute them, also
81 for my renewal and 81 for P. H.
Kruger, 14OG 9th street, Anacortes.
A few weeks ago the local here sent
resolutions to congress denouncing the
Michigan and Colorado strikes and
asking for an investigation. The let
ter l sent strayed to w. e. Humphrey
and this is his reply:
Dear Madam: | am in receipt of
your resolutions in regard to the stu
alton in the copper region of Michi-
gan. 1t is my judgment that there
has been entirely too much outside in
reference in the matter already. The
majority of the democratic party in
the house of representatives has voted
against an investigation of this kind
by congress. Yours truly, w. E. Hum
phrey."
The Single Weavers union held an
open meeting last night and took in
a large number of mill workers, they
seem to be enthused.
Comrade Mortensen handed me your
circular about your lectures and we
hope in the future to arrange for a
series of them, but can't just now, of
course, we want them properly adver-
tised and we want to give you a big
hearing. Yours for the revolution,
