 Del Mar stepped aside and glanced at the little slip of paper. Then he crumpled it up and threw it aside, | walking away.
 No sooner had he gone than Aunt Josephine reached out and picked up the paper. She strengthened it and looked at It. There was nothing on the paper but crude drawing of a sunrise on the ocean.
 Whats that?" asked Aunt Jo- sephine, in surprise.
 Just then Elaine and Lieutenant Woodward came in and stopped be- fore the tent Aunt Josephine mo- toned to Elaine to come in and Elaine followed Lieutenant Woodward start cd after her.
 No, no, young man." laughed An cient Anna, shaking her forefinger at him. T don't want you. It's the pretty young lady I want"
 Woodward stood outside. though he did not know quite what it was all about. While he was standing there Professor Arnold came up He had not exactly made hit with the guests At least he seemed to make little eff fort to do so. He and Woodward walked away. talking earnestly.
 In the tent Aunt Josephine handed Elaine the piece of paper she had picked up.

 Meanwhile Lieutenant Woodward and his friend had moved to a corner of the yeranda and stood looking in- tently into tie moonlight. There was Del Mar deep in conversation with man who had slipped out, at a quiet signal. from his hiding place in the shruhbery.
 That fellow Is up to something, mark ny words" muttered Arnold un- der his breath.
 They continued watching Del Mar, but. so far at least. he did nothing that would have furnished them any evidence of anything.

 At the first break of dawn the little alarm clock awakened Elaine. She started up and rubbed her eyes at the suddenness of the awakening. then quickly reached out and stopped the bell so that it would not disturb oth- CTS in the house. She jumped out of bed hurriedly and dressed.
 Armed with spy glass, Elaine let herself out of the house quietly. Di- rect1y to the shore she went, walking along the beach. Suddenly she paused. There were three men. Before she could level her glass at them, however. they disappeared.
 That's strange" she said to herself, looking through the glass. There's a steamer at the dock that seems 10 be getting ready for something. l won der what it can be doing so early"
 She moved along in the direction of the dock At the dock the disreputable steamer to which Del Mar had dis patched his emissary was still tied. the sailors now working under the gruff orders of the rough captain.

opened the window and listened. Then | he entered.
 First he went to the door and set n chair under the knob. Next he drew an electric bull's-eye and flashed 1t about the room. He glanced about and finally went over to Del Mar s desk, where he examined a batch Of letters. his back to the secret panel. Arnold was running rapidly through the papers on the desk. as he flashed his electric bull's-eye on them, when the panel in the wall opened slowly and Del Mar stepped into the room noiselessly To his surprise he saw round spot of light from an electric flashlight focused on his desk. Some one was there! He drew gun.
 Arnold started suddenly He heard the cooking of revolver. But he did not look around. He merely thought an instant, quicker than lightning, then pulled out spool of black thread with one hand, while with the other he switched off the light, and dived down on his stomach on the floor in the shadow
 Who's that?" demanded De Mar "Confound it, l should have fired at sight"
 The room was so dark now that it was impossible to see Arnold Del Mar gazed intently. Suddenly Ar holds electric torch glowed forth in a spot across the room
 Del Mar blazed at it, firing every chamber of his revolver, then switched on the lights.
 No one was in the room. But the door was open. Del Mar gazed about, yexed. then ran to the open door.
 For second or two he peered out in rage, finally turning back into the empty room. On the mantlepieee lay the torch of the intruder It was one in which the connection is made by ring falling on a piece of metal. The ring had been left up by Arnold. Con neetion had been made as he was leaving the room by pulling the thread which he had fastened to the ring. Del Mar followed the thread as it led around the room to the doorway.
 Curse himi" swore Del Mar, smash ing down the innocent torch on the floor in fury, as he rushed to the desk and saw his papers all disturbed.
 Outside, Arnold had made good his escape He paused in the moonlight and listened. No one was pursuing. He drew out two or three of the letters which he had taken from Del Mars

You remember Lieutenant Wood ward. the inventor of trodite?" I asked Elaine one day after I had been out for a ride through the country.
 .'very we'll indeed" she nodded with Q look of wistfulness as the mention of his name recalled Kennedy. Why" He's stationed at Fort Dale, not very far from here. at the entrance of the sound" I answered.
 Then let's have him over at my garden party tonight" she exclaimed, sitting down and writing: Dear Lieutenant:

 ELAINE DODGE" Thus it was that few hours after ward. in the officers quarters at the fort. an orderly entered with the mail and handed a letter to Lieutenant Woodward He opened 1t and read the invitation with pleasure. He had scarcely finished reading and was hastening to write a reply when the orderly entered again and saluted
 "A Professor Arnold to see you, lieutenant" he announced.
 Professor Arneld?" repeated Wood ward. "I don't know any Professor Arnold We'll. show him in anyway" The orderly ushered in a we'll dressed man with dark, heavy beard and large horn spectacles. Wood ward eyed him cautiously and a bit suspieiously. as the stranger seated himself and made few remarks.
 The moment the orderly left the room. however. the professor lowered his voice to whisper. Woodward listened in amazement, looked at him more closely. then laughed and shook hands cordially
 The professor leaned over again. Whatever it was that he said. 1t made a great impression on the lieutenant You know the fellow Del Mari" asked Professor Arnold finally.
 No" replied Woodward.
 Well, he's hanging around Miss Dodge all the time," went on Arnold. There's something queer about his presence here al this time"

 ..I shall be charmed to be with you tonight and with your permission will bring my friend, Professor Arnold.
 Truly yours,
 EDWARD WOODWARD"
 Good" nodded the professor, hand ing the note back.
 Woodward summoned an orderly. See that this is delivered at Dodge hall to Miss Dodge herself as soon as possible" he directed. as the orderly took the note and saluted,
 Elaine, Aunt Josephine and l were in the garden when Lieutenant Nooa' wards orderly rode up and delivered the letter.
 Elaine opened it and read. That's all right" she thanked the orderly "0h. Walter. he's coming to the gar den party. and is going to bring 8 friend of his. 8 Professor Arnold.
 We chatted a few moments about the party.

ROCKEFELLER UNDER FIRE.

John D. Rockefeller, 'Jr., says he is doing his best to bridge the gap between capital and labor. He gave a very fine exhibition of self-lauda- tion before the committee on indus trial relations.
 But the public is suspicious of Rockefeller, Jr. Serious charges of the packing of grand jurles, have been made in respect to the Colorado mine troubles and young Rockefel- ler's company was involved w Vhese charges have not as yet been effectively answered. Young Rockefeller has had brilliant chance to do something of the kind if possible, but he bungled the thing in generalties.
 He may be fine. well-meaning person, but the public is from Mis- souri. When serious charges ar made against an institution with which a person is leading light, it is necessary to deny categoricIally and in detail.
 Young Rockefeller has not done so But maybe that's his way, or his ideal, and he has a right to father any particular notions that his brain will allow.
 But he might have answered the charge that absentee stockholders are morally responsible for the acts of concern.
 And the public knows that Young Rockefeller has more influence in the Colorado Iron & Fuel company than all the rest of the stockholders 2nd officers put together, even though he might have owned but a small percentage of the stock. A word from him could have stopped the slaughter of innocent women and children; word from him could have ended the entire dismal mess perpstrated under the Stars and Stripes.
 But he fiddled as Rome burned. "i never interfere with the acts of my directors" he said.
 A fine example for a fine Chris tisn gentleman.

On Turing a Piano.

Many people think it is an easy matter to tune a piano, but this is not the case. As celebrated musi- clan as Hans von Bulow got into trouble in New York owing to this fallacious idea. He would not permit the instrument to be tuned in the Wareroom, one of his whims being that even A short removal of a piano knocks it out of tune. There is, of course, a modicum of truth in the theory. So it was tuned upon the platform where he was to perform. He stood over the tuner all the time, at intervals emitting groans and strong German language. When the task was almost completed he gave a shout and, seizing the wrench, began doing it all over again. In three min. utes he had the piano so hopelessly out of gear that it took three hours to get it right again. Herr von Blu. low had to pay dearly for this exhibi. ton of ignorance.
