ALMOST PERFECT IN SYSTEM
Modern Hotel a Wonderful Improve
ment Over lite Predecessor Of Only
Few Years Ago.

1T is wonderful to appreciate the
difference in hotel systems Of today
and Is years ago. And still, with all
the conveniences that are offered to
guests at practically the same rates.
there is the man who finds fault
To-day guests have telephones In
their rooms, whereas several years
ago they had anything from q COW
bell to q row Of brass checks operat-
ed with a cord.
AT the old Gobson house. about
twelve years ago, We installed q de-
vice for lessening labor which was
called q teleseme. 1t was sort Of
punch button affair which was sup
posed to signal for anything from q
San Francisco newspaper to bag OF
peanuts. You'd push the button so
many times and different lights would
bob up on the board in the ONCE after
the clerk had released the indicator.
"One day l pulled out the indicator
on certain room and the lights
flared up. The signal showed a very
difficult drink and / hastened to notify
the cafe.
"A boy took the drink upstairs, but
could find no one. After a little in.
vestigation we found the room had
not been occupied for two weeks and
that the signal had been given when
a maid had pushed the bed against
the room button.

He failed to note the look or the

in his coat pocket for something. Sc

small pocket, he held it out to her.

Sara and Hetty did not stay long In
town. The newspapers announced the
return Of Challis Wrandall's widow
and reporters sought her out for inter.
views. The old interest was revived
and columns we're printed about the
murder at Burton's inn, with sharp
editorial comments on the failure of
the police to clear up the mystery.
7 shall ask Leslie down for the
weekend" said Sara the third day
after their arrival in the country. The
house was huge and lonely, and time
hung rather heavily despite the glori-
GUS uplift Of spring.
Hetty looked up quickly from her
book. A look Of dismay fickered in
her eyes for an instant and then gave
way to the calmness that had come to
dwell in their depths of late. Her lips
parted In the sudden impulse to cry
out against the plan, but she checked
the words. For a moment her dark,
questioning eyes studied the face Of
her benefactress; then, as II nothing
had been revealed to her. she allowed
her gaze to drift pensively out toward
the sunset sea.
They were sitting on the broad
verandah overlooking the sound. The
dusk of evening was beginning to steal
over the earth. She laid her book
aside.

dinner. Hetty?" went on Sara, after
. long period of silence.
Again Hetty started. This time q
look of actual pain flashed in her eyes.

there is little to choose between wife
and brother? That isn't quite fair.

Sara's grip on the girls shoulder

thoughts were far away. The younger
woman's pensive gaze rested on the
peaceful waters below. taking In the

shoulder and walked to the edge Of

English girl was conscious of pain.
She drew her arm up and cringed. She
pulled the light scarf about her bare
