 All my clothes are with that horrid woman," she whispered.
 I'll rig you out, and then we'll go shopping" was the rejoinder.

 Once in the taxi Ruth told him of her experiences from the time she had left the mine. John listened soberly, though once in awhile a heavy flush on his cheeks betrayed his deep seated anger at the plotters who had not only tried to deprive her of her mine, but

But l am here now, and I'll get busy with Everett and finish things up. and we'll soon be back at the mine and have things going again"
 He answered her questions about the situation at the Master Key" as tact fully as he could; he realized that her trust to old Tom Kane to hold the fort in the mountains while he transacted the necessary business in San Fran cisco.
 He directed the chauffeur to drive them through the shopping district. and while Ruth spent several hours in replenishing her wardrobe John sat in the taxi and studied things out. But he was continually seeing Wilkerson's dark face before him, and before they returned to the hotel he had determin- cd to find out where he was and what he was doing.
 While Ruth went to her room to dress for dinner John sat in the lobby and completed his plans. He did not observe a slender, quietly dressed young man with very pale face, who sauntered in and out with an occasion al trip to the cigar stand to light a fresh cigarette. It was Henry Pell

 The mothers pension law, operative in such counties as desire to take ad- vantage of its provisions, provides +hot where a widow has children who ,vould otherwise be sent to orphan ocvl,ms because of the mothers lack of means to support them, the money that county would pay to keep them in institutions may be given to the mother to enable her to keep the child ron at home. As the law is optional local action is necessary to put in eff feet it's provisions. On the initiative of the supervisors the County Judge names a commission of seven to ad- minister the law and to pass upon the applications.

three bounds was in her room. She pointed to the open window, gasping: '"rhat way! The thief! He stole the deeds!'
 Without a word Dorr leaped to the window. It opened on a fire escape. He peered down. No one He looked up. A slight figure was mounting quickly and silently toward the roof.
 Within another instant John had swung himself out on the ladder and was climbing rapidly after the un- known housebreaker. He paid no at tention to Ruths agonized cry after him: "John! John Don't go after him! He'll hurt your'
 Helplessly she peered out of the win down and saw the two figures going swiftly up toward the crest of the building. The seconds seemed hours as she watched. Then she saw John stumble and catch himself. That de- cided her. She picked up her skirts and stepped out on the platform her self. Then she gingerly swung her self out on the iron ladder and con- menced to climb upward. She saw the thief reach the cornice and crawl over, then John. She struggled on up sob- bingly, bruising her tender hands on the rusty rods. Once or twice she stopped and called: "John! Johnl"
 There was no answer.
 Then she realized that there was an- ther on the ladder below her. She nearly lost her grip and fell. Surely it must be some accomplice of the thief She hastened her way up the ladder, not daring to look down again.
 At last she gained the cornice, where the ladder bent suddenly outward and she must perforce almost hang sus- pended by her hands. But she man. aged to surmount this difficulty and stumbled forward on the roof of the hotel
 At first glance she saw no one. The roof was huge broken here and there by skylights and chimneys and air shafts. The shadows cast by the moon lay dark and strange across the tarry gravel
 "John. John~ she called softly. Then again, in terror, she cried shrilly: John! Oh. Johnw
 At that moment the figure of the masked man slipped from behind one of the chimneys and made for the fire escape She realized that he was es- caping Where was John? She way cred. Could he be killed? She cried again, "Johnr'
 She stood directly in the way of the man making for the ladder, and he paused at the sight of that eerie figure. The hesitation was fatal to his pur- pose. Dorr darted across the roof and grasped for him. With a swift turn the thief leaped over a skylight and commenced to run hither and thither trying to evade John, who was not to be put off now that he had full sight of his quarry.
 Ruth watched the chase with hands tensely clasped over her bosom. She could not stir from her position in the full moonlight, near the edge of the roof. nor did she move when Dorr fin ally caught his man and tripped him. They fell together on the roof and rolled over and over, each trying to balk the other of a good hold. The fighting was furious, for Pell, still un- der the spell of drugs, was possessed of tremendous strength which even Doris hard muscles could not over- come.
 Suddenly Ruth heard a familiar voice behind her saying, "Ill be dad blamed If 1t ain't fight!" She did not (Continued Tomorrow.l

 Gs.z@Sg worked secretly and in his own way. It was like Wilkerson to respect fellow crooks special meth ods and mannerisms He never inter- fered with an expert when that expert was working for him.
 But he could not refrain from fur tive glance in the lobby of the hotel. He saw John Dorr there, still bearing the bruises and burns gained in the wreck of the auto truck. He stared at him, for there was something uncanny in seeing in the flesh the man he had thought to have killed. Then he went swiftly away, as Ruth came out of the elevator and joined Dorr.
 At supper both Ruth and John were silent, not only from weariness, but because they had not settled things yet Everett hadn't been seen nor any preparations made for the raising of the money needful to improve the Mas ter Key" mine. So by mutual consent they made q short meal of it. In the lobby they sat and talked little while, but presently Ruth had to confess that sine was worn out.
 "Of course you are," said John re- pentantly. I'll take you right up and turn you over to your maid. A good nights rest will set you on your feet again."
 "I shall dream of that horrible China manw she murmured, shuddering.

 They went out through Golden Gate park and after a brief stop on the bright beach came back into town by way of the Presidio.
 Ruth was now quieted, and as they got out at the hotel she sighed hap oily.
 That was beautiful, John," she said.
 At the desk the clerk handed John a note addressed in a grabbed hand He tore it open, glanced at the contents and turned to Ruth.

Senator Roots Prayer.
From the Haverhill Gazette. ]


There being no clergyman present
when the New York constitutional con-
vention opened its session, Senator
Root, as presiding officer, offered the
following prayer:
Almighty God, we pray thee to
guide our deliberations this day. Make
as humble, sincere. devoted to the pub.
lie service. Make US wise. considerable
of the feeling and opinion of Others
Make us effective and useful for the
advancement of the cause OF peace and
justice and liberty in this world"
Senator Root did this, much as Mr..
Roosevelt would have done it or Presi.
dent Wilson, expressing by the act the
public recognition every governing
body gives to that power in the world
that makes for righteousness, and at
the same time expressing his own per-
sonal recognition of an everything Prov.
idence that has larger hand in the
affairs of men than they themselves are
able to recognize.
In the heat of political strife it is not
always the practice to associate public
leaders like Senator Root with the func-
ton he SO excellently performed for the
constitutional convention. And yet if we
stop to think of it, it is remarkable how
few men reach high place in public
confidence who are not. bv inheritance
and by personal conviction, committed
to q look above the immediate scene to
catch a glimpse, at least, of the larger
purpose.

Washington, ID. G., June 1.-"As
compared with the Republicans we are
an unframed mob, with little know
ledge of parliamentary law and with
very little effective knowledge of the
rules"
Senator Tillman, Democratic senator
from South Carolina, spoke these words
in an address to the United States Sen
ate. In the light of subsequent events
they have became a warning and a
prophecy.
The laws enacted during the last two
years are crude and faulty to the last
degree. AS illustrative of this fact, a
few notable examples of the many
plumbers contained in the tariff bill
alone have been hitherto published.
LEST we forget" brief summary of
these examples follows, merely to en-
phasize the general principle of in.
accuracy prevailing in the Democratic
laws:
l. The tariff bill as a whole was a
blunder, because it was revenue meas
ure that produced Imany millions Of dol
lars less than were needed, depleted
Treasury being the result.
Q. The provision for five per cent
discount in duties on merchandise i'm
ported in American vessels, involving
millions of dollars, was declared in.
operative by the Attorney General over
year ago, and went to the Court of
Customs Appeals.
g. Another provision affecting hun
dreds of business concerns is before the
same court because of the insertion of
an obscure phase that neither customs
officials, lawyers nor business men af.
fected could understand.
4. A vital provision in the income
tax law, part of the tariff bill, relat.
ing to deductions allowed in computing
gross income, must go to the courts like
hundreds of others.
g. The entire income tax provision
has been pronounced by the Taxation
Committee OF the American Bar As.
sociation, non partisan body. las open
to the gravest objections both in struc.
ture and specific defects" twenty FIVE
imperfections being pointed out.
g. Necessity for amending this law
has forced administration officials to
the work of formulating report of its
crudities, as basis for amendment by
Congress.
On innumerable occasions during the
debate on the tariff and other bills,
Republican floor leader James r. Mann
of Illinois cautioned the sjority to use
greater care, and gave one reason for
the dividing line between the two sides
of the House as "a lack of infoi nation
on the part of the Democrats
Like Senator Tillmans utterance,
these words have assumed prophetic
meaning. Literally hundreds of other
