 But was she safe from any danger: Had she not been in danger before Yes. on the train. And the reason was because Thompson knew she heid the ruby necklace. Thompson was one to be feared and respected.
 Softly she slipped down the vestl- buled aisle She had reasoned out the answer. Thompson had escaped Lou beoue and, foiled in his attempt to gain the necklace. was still in the pur' suit.
 Swiftly she stepped down the aisle, through car after car. until she halted abruptly and moved back again, for, dozing against a pillow in the tourist car, long gash over his eye render ing him a bit villainous looking, was the butler-thief

dimly silhouetted against a pile of lava dust. Something shapeless and dark and furtive of movement crept across the space that intervened be- tween it and the light cleavage of Loubeque's quarters. Lucille could not resist the impulse that forced her from the door into the open.
 Something tugged at her feet, fairly drawing her away from the scene. Then a strange wave of pity for the unsuspecting one against whom this furtive attack was being made urged her forward. As the dark figure slip ped through the door Lucille thrust her head cautiously, within. Upon the cot lay the long figure of the interna- tional spy. his face turned toward the silent, motionless figure that stood in the center of the room staring at him The eyes were tightly closed, but the girl knew that the man merely feigned slumber

CHAPTER XXI.
Lucille InduIges a Feminine Instinct

YUCILLE thrilled with inexpres-
 sible delight when she found
 herself once more in San Fran
 A cisco the place where last she | had seen her sweetheart. She i'm agined him rowing the city. using every means in his power to find her. She knew he had led the assault upon that house, and that not even the secret exit made by the occupants could divert him from his purpose of finding her. But she had far better chance than he with Loubeque. She only caught herself hoping that the international spy would return to his home.
 Not for the cunning brain of such a one as the spy to go back to place from which he had been driven and which he had every reason to believe would be under surveillance. Instead of doing this he promptly took a motor to the St. Francis, relying upon the very audacity of his move to pro- tect him.
 Lucille followed him quietly, almost meekly. They had but little to say to each other. Both knew the other s thoughts too well to waste time in words; both knew the others relent- lessness of purpose. And. more than anything and everything else, both knew that the fight between them must be settled very shortly, that any move must be made quickly.
 Lucille slipped out of the hotel the second day. undecided as to what to dc and caring little to plan or plot. For always there was to be reckoned with Thompson, who had turned against his former master. Thompson was the man upon whom she convinced herself with feminine intuition she must depend. Thompson would lay open way And the hate of Thomp son would turn itself against the hate of Loubeque and then her own great love would have its innings.
 And in this mood, for the first time since leaving Manila so abruptly ir the aeroplane of Harley. her thought turned from the sweetheart she fell was in the city to the thought of meet ing him. She stopped short, the song upor her lips frozen there as she looked down at herself. For the first time

a second in that direction, her heart thudding so violently at sight of the diary and papers there that she was fearful she would be heard. Along side the papers, its facets sending out a million flashes of reddest blood, lay the strand of rubies.. She marked the involuntary fexing of the thief's hands as he tiptoed toward them. {
 Not a sound disturbed the silence. but something caused her to dart a swift glance at the sleeper. His eyes were narrowed. but open; lights of amused malice in them she had never suspected could show in mortal eyes. lights so malignant she shuddered even as she would have opened her lips to cry warning. The butlerthief drew closer to the prize he had worked so hard to gain. His thief,s fingers were outstretched to grasp the necklace, when. with crash, the lamp darted toward him, smashing upon the floor and leaving utter blackness in it's wake. l.
 Upon the heels of his startled alarm came chuckling laugh from Lou beque. laugh that matched the evil that had glowed from his eyes so scant before. Came a gurgled oath, the heavy breathing of strong men in combat
 Lucille turned as though to run There came a swift vision before her. one that made her step swiftly within the wall of mantled darkness Eyes met her own eyes, eyes that seemed to force their way through the dark in terior and cause her to forget every thing that had intervened, eyes that mirrored a message of love and faith and hope to her as she looked down from the window of the mysterious house in San Francisco into the eyes of her lover, the man whose happiness could not be insured without those pa pers so short space before her.
 With the thought she sprang into the room. She bounded high, clearing the bodies of the two men and landing squarey against the table. Cropping, groping, her hands encountered the COlu TuDleS tolle tul uSt tnCli SNlILiH into her bodice. her left hand contin uing the search. Papers rustled under her fingers.

CONTEST OVER BATTLESHIP.
Senate Debates Proposal for Con
struction in Navy Yard.

For several hours yesterday afternoon
the Senate debated an amendment to the
naval appropriation bill offered by Sem
aotr O'Gorman of New York providing
that one Of the two new battleships au-
thorized should be constructed in a gov
eminent navy yard. When a vote was
taken thirty senators favored the amend
ment and sixteen opposed it. The vote
disclosed the lack of quorum and the
Senate adjourned until Monday without
taking final action on the amendment.
Members of the naval affairs committee
opposed the amendment. declaring that
If it were adopted. the construction Of
one Of the battleships would be delayed
for a year. The only yard which could
build one Of these battleships, they said
was the Brooklyn navy yard. and owing
to the fact that ships are now building
there it would be impossible to begin an
other for a year.
Senator oGorman insisted that the
failure to build one of the ships at the
Brooklyn yard would disrupt the organ
ization there. only to give the work to a
shipbuilding trust" at Newport News.

st. Johns Episcopal Church, Norwood
parish. located at Bradley lane and Wis

last night about 10 o'clock. The origin
of the fire could not be determined, but
some Of the parishioners believe it was
caused by crossed electric wires
Occupants of an automobile that became
disabled on the road near the church dis
covered the fire. went to the home of Ed

ing edifce, and telephoned to No. 20 en-
CINE company for assistance.
BY the time the engine reached the
scene the fire had gained SO much head
way that it was impossible to save the
structure. A volunteer corps to save
church property was quickly organized.
and the church organ and a number of
chairs were saved. Rev. James kirkpat-

Protests Against Caste.

Il wish to protest against the idea Of
caste in art. l wish to have Its standards
standards of quality. of beauty, OF rich
ness. 1 wish to have fashion tempered
to reason; dress made beautiful through
a finer expression of the utilities rather
than through a blind and irrational use
Of wanton, erratic and fantastic ornamen-
tation, having no logical outgrowth from
or relation to the uses of apparel. There
are well dressed women to be seen at any
time on our avenues. but running riot is
the bizarre. the eccentric extravaganza
Of the fashion idolators, who are ready
to disregard all the canons of good taste
at the dictates of an arrogant and all
powerful potentate Of fashion, whoever
it be or wherever it reigns.
1T is. of course. unnecessary for me
to say that our art schools cannot make
professional painters of all the students
who may have more or less active apira-
tons in that direction. but there is a
more important work that they can do
and that they are doing, and that is in
the educating of a body of citizens. which
who will demand great art, and the de-
mand, we may be sure. will produce it.
At the conclusion of Mr.. MeSser's ad-
dress those in attendance passed to a
consideration of the exhibition of the
work of the students. which constitutes a
fine display. This exhibition will continue.
