enough for Kitty tc see whathad been

berry.
But who was the robber himself?
Quick as thought Kitty sLrang to the
door, ran down the deck, out the next
deck door. The band was giving its
crst saloon concert, and the decks
were sparsely tenanted, it seemed, Far
off towards the bow a man was pass

seemed neither 10 hurry nor to linger.
She could not make out who it was,

She turned to the captain now and
made report OF what had happened
not once but twice; but even as she
went she smiled grinly to herself. The

CHAPTER II.
En- Vcyaoe,

En- voyage.
The great liner Anne of Austria lay
in her slip at the dock, her giant
pulses just throbbing now and then.
Everywhere men and women were
hurrying to and fro in the customary
orderly confusion of the last few mo-
ments before the departure of an
ocean steamer.
Calmly Kitty Gray passed on her
way to the boats Office and asked for
her mail and her keys.
As she turned, she almost stumbled
against a man who had Just hurried
aboard-a dark man, thickset, foreign
in appearance. She had the strange
conviction that she had seen him be-
fore.
Then she turned to settle herself
down in her quarters. So far as she
knew, she had not an acquaintance
on the boat
Now, oddly enough, she recalled the
face of the stranger, the dark-visaged
foreigner whom she had met at the
ships office. Surely it must have been
the same man who had handed her
her package when she dropped it in
the little antique shop! Why should
he be on board this boat? Why should
he recognize her, remember her-for
he had, Trust woman to know that
he had-he did. Yes, he had known
her. Again a cold feeling of appre-
hension clutched at Kitty Gray's stout
little heart.
She rose and tried to fling off her
depression by means of visit to the
| dining saloon. But for some reason
she felt she would be more comfort
able-or safe-in her own room.
Here she lay down upon the single
berth, which was directly beneath the
portfolio.
She woke-she knew not when nor
why-woke with her eyes staring,
passing in her instant from sleep to
waking.
A face was looking in upon her! A
man had been looking at her, or try
ing to look at her, as she lay asleep
Kitty Gray's instinct spoke to hel
some message-she could not tell
what. Swiftly she caught the chamois
bag from her bosom, and, emptying Its
main treasures into her hand, placed
them in that other treasure house Of
woman-her stocking. Again feeling
the drowsiness invoked by the fresf
salt air, at length she lay down once
more upon the little couch and re
signed herself more comfortably t.
slumber.
But again she woke-this time l
was with a scream of terror. Sh
had felt the touch of a hand. Some
thing had tugged at her neck.
She raised her hand. The chan
ois bag was gone-it was the jer
of the broken silk cord that ha

glance aoou; t.le rs; lite room, anu
then paused.
The rug in the hall was turned over
at one corner-was it by accident?
The pictures all hung on the walls,
vet several were askew, and-the lit
tie wall-safe back of one of the pic
tures-which had held some small OBJ
jects of little value, an old daguerreo-
type or two, some silver spoons,
few gold pieces which she had cher
ished-had been broken open. Its
contents now lay upon the floor.
Amazed, Kitty stopped and picked
them up, one by one Nothing was
missing-even the gold coins were
there. Nothing had been harmed. But
who had done this. and why?'

chamois bag was worthless-it had
held only kerchief, bit of powder
puff, perhaps a little silver-nothing
more. Her real treasures-she knew
where they were now.
The captain was outraged at what
he learned when at length she gained
admittance to his cabin. With marine
precision, he acted at once. From
that time on all through the voyage. a
boat detective stood at each end OF the
passageway which led to kitty's state
room.
No trace of any other robbery could
be found, nor any clue by which the
intruder could be identified.

There would, Miss Kitty, to quote q
certain American ballad, be hot
time in the old town in that case"
Its story" said Kitty Gray, draw
ing a long breath. But troubled light
came to her eyes at the same time.
How will a fellow dig it out?" she
asked whimsically.

CHAPTER II.
The Bio Assignment.

Kitty Gray did not 60 to her usual
place for luncheon that day. Instead
she hurried into nearby delicatessen
shop and bought sandwich, which
she put in her handbag. After this
she hurried on back to the office. Ar
rived there, without ceremony she
went again to the desk of the city edl-
tor, and silently laid down before him
her empty purse, her antique fan, her
sandwich and her broken coin.
Cutler looked up with professional
calm.
Eyes, Miss Gray? Why all this or
derby array of fresh and interesting
objects?"
THAT is my story" said she.
What makes you think so? Are
you seeing things, Miss Gray?"
Look here"
Kitty picked up the coin and showed
it to him.
See, it is broken quite across-more
than a third of it gone. The inscrip-
ton is Latin. 1t is not so much what
is on the CONT is what is of OF II.
Perhaps it commentaries something.

AUTOMATIC PHONE GRAB MADE
BIG ISSUE BY VOTERS LEAGUE


The attempted automatic phone
grab is made one of the big city issues
in the report of the Municipal Voters
league issued Tuesday. In it's recon-
mendation of support for Aid. Mer-
riam in the 18th ward the league says:

Tiam took leading part in telephone
and electric light regulation and al
most single-handed prevented pur-
chase. of Automatic Telephone Co. by
Chicago Telephone Co., until proper
jolicy could be determined"
In the policy Of furnishing its
friends and rewarding it's enemies
the league report makes no mention
of the fact that Morton L. Johnson,
who has done a lot of single-handed
fighting against the Automatic phone
grab, is running for alderman in the
33d ward.
The league asks defeat for Aid.
Thomas J. Ahern, 18th ward, saying
''his blind partisanship makes it diff
cult for him to deal fairly and inteI=
ligentIy with council questions" In
this, the league goes against the
street car mems union which wants
Ahern reelected because he is an old
street car man and voted in favor of
an ordinance to give the car men a
straight ten-hour day. Most of the
car men now putting in ten hours a
day have the ten hours spread be-
tween mignight and midnight so that
they spend four and five. hours a day
travelling to and from the car barns
and waiting to go out.
Three Socialists get the o. K. of
the league. One is William E. Rod
riguez, 18th ward. He is former bust
ness agent of the painters union,
now law partner of William A. Gun
nea. He is reported as "a man of
common sense and broad views, well
qualified for alderman"

DAN CUPID MAKES
BETTER RECORD IN
MONTH Of OCTOBER
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER OF PAST
MONTH CONDUCIVE TO MAT.
RlMONY.
but STILL BEHIND LAST YEAR
Unless There Is a Decided Revival of
Marriages During the Coming Two
Months the Year Will Make But a
Poor Showing.

D. Cupid, although not yet up to his
mark of last year, made notable i'm
provement during the past month
with the result that October has wit
messed the issuance of more marriage
licenses than any month of the pres
ent year. During the past month for
| ty-three licenses were issued by the
agreeable and obliging county court
clerk, Arch w. Lipscomb. In the
same month of last year there were
| fifty issued. However, every month
this year has shown loss compared
with the same month of the previous
year, and with tonights work to be
added to the month, the loss will be
very small.
Although many have supposed that
June was the month par excellence
! for marriages, the records this year
negative that belief. In June only
twenty licenses were issued, or less
than half of the number issued in the
beautiful month that is rapidly draw
| ing to a close. In truth June has the
poorest records of any month of the
year except March, which had the
same number of love knots to it's
credit.
July was second to October in pop
ularity with the lovers, thirty-nine
couples having been joined together
in that torrid month. September was
third with thirty-two and August had
twenty-eight, April the same with
January only one behind. February
had twenty-five and May twenty-five.
The year will show a considerable de-
crease as compared with last year un-
less there should be a very marked
matrimonial revival during the last
two months.
