I WAS detained downstairs, Gavock
said courteously to the shabby figure he
found beside his door Sorry Come in.
Andrus entered and waited silently.
you've brought picture from MIR.
Andrus, beleve?' said Gavock, turning
back from closing the door and looking at
his visitor.
Andrus returned the look in silence,
then he said huskily, Don't you know
me, MIR. Gavock?'
Gavock gave him sharp stare. AN
drus." he cried in shocked amazement.
Il didn't know you-for the moment. |
-lwasn't expecting to see you-I thought
you'd sent someone" He thrust out his
hand impulsively.
Andrus looked down at it moment,
then raised his right arm and held it out,
showing the empty cuff
"My God" Gavock gasped Your
right hand! Man, how did that happeno"
"An accident-seven years ago"
"Seven years! Why--then that was
why you diSappearcd''
John Andrus nodded what was left
for me-a painter who could not painto"
he said duly
"Good God" Gavock muttcred. And
no one knew? never heard word An
accident, you said? What? How"
Il would rather not talk about it,
Andrus answered, shuddcring.
."Sit down-you look i'll.
He drew out chair, and his visitor
sank into it heavily.

tions crowded to his lips; but the haggard
bitterness of Andrus' face checked them
He turned back to the picture, instinct
lively seeking enlightenment there. Some
thing he got instantly,-the extraordinary
likeness of the painted face to Miss Du-
points. The resemblance that had haunted
him had been real and not fancied
Twice he had seen Alix Floria dance;
then he had gone no more to the Purple
Pigeon. The second experience had sick
ened him.-that titled barbarian from the
Caucasus gloating drunkenly from his box
above the stage
AS memory suddenly evoked the offen-
Sive scene something in it caught Gavock's
attention and caused him to bend start
led gaze on the canvas. The girls dress!
1t was the one she had worn that second
time he had seen her-and was it not very
like the dress Miss Dupont had worn?
His eyes groped vaguely among the intri-
cacies of the painted costume. Assuredly
in color line, and complete effect this was
the gown he had seen in Paris and again
last night. Was that chance resem-
blance too? No; nor was the other chance
Between Marie Dupont and Alix Floria
there was certainly connection, direct,
close
He jerked his head around to Andrus,
determined now to question him; but
again the artists face halted the words.
The man looked wretchedly i'll, and should
have medical care at once; but he made it
plain that he wished no interference with
the plans he had himself formed for such
care, and the very magnitude of his mis-
fortune somehow made it impossible to in
trude either help or sympathy. The most

you We're paging?" Gavock inquired of
the hotel clerk. "No? Ile'left word that
he would wait. Please find out who re-
ceived his message"
This appeared to be a battling mystery
until someone thought he recollected that
the note had been sent in from the deliv-
cry entrance-the bearer had had a pack
age. 49,
Andrus had not come himself but sent
the picture, Gavock reflected, and no
doubt his messenger would have some
further word from him." Directing that
the man should be taken to his rooms,
where he would presently join him, he
crossed the lobby toward the lounge and
made his way to the recess behind the
palms where Miss Lowther had told him
she would be.
The corner was empty.
AS he wheeled about he found himself
face to face with Miss Lowther's black
bearded acquaintance Not having heard
anyone approach, the encounter discon-
certed him, and he stepped back involun-
tarily.
A barely perceptible sneer curled the
lip of the stranger, then he swerved aside
and walked off.

"Of course, of course, Gavock assured
him instantly.

EAVOCK unwrapped the parcel. and as
~ the covering slipped off and revealed
the canvas he exclaimed in surprise.
"Alix Floria Not the portrait, thought"
"Yes; never did but the one. After
a moment he added in lower tone, Il
painted it out.
Gavock shot him look of nterroga-
tion.
"The necklace, | mean"
"Ah yes. | remember didn't see the

john ANDRus.
There was no address Gavock beck
oned the clerk. "When did this Gomez"
The letter had been left an hour before,
he thought, and the man had said he would
wait.
"Wait where?"
Inquiries ensued; but no one appeared
to recall anything more definite.
Gavock frowned impatiently. "Have
him paged-Mr. Andrus," he directed.
"I'l wait here He dropped into deep
leather chair commanding view of the
desk.
John Andrus of all people! An amaz-
ing thing to have him pop up like that.
Why. it.had been years since he had heard
of him-since any Of his former acquaint-
ances had, indeed! The man had sud-
denly and unaccountably dropped out of
sight. And it had been limited too that
he had been somehow involved in that
mysterious murder
Gavock's jaw fell in sudden stupefac-
ton. Back to the surface of his memory
impressions long submerged darted up
and linked themselves with fresher images.
and the union stunned and bewildered
him. 1t was Andrus-yes, certainly it
was he-who painted that portrait of
Alix Floria which caused such scandal
that it was removed from the Salon on the
second day of the exhibition. And it was
just afterward that she was killed and
Andrus disappeared. Where had he been
all these years?
A BOY in livery announced that the
messenger had returned from the bank
: AS Gavock stood at the desk moment
later slipping the bills into an envelop he
chanced to glance round, and to his sur
prise found that he was being watched by
tho alert black eyes of Miss Lowther's
: friend with the Vandyke beard. Though
the stranger turned away instantly, Ga
vock thought it likely that he had seen
the receiving and counting of the money,
and that he might connect it with the girl
who was waiting in the lounge There
was nothing to do therefore but to wait
until the man had taken himself Off
which indeed he appeared to be in the act
of doing, for he moved away with light,
swinging stride toward the street en-
trance.

Our Navy All Right.

The timorous soul, who dwells far inland,
and knows OF salt water only as he reads about
IT, may again come from out his retirement and
renew his appreciation OF life For we have
just been assured. and by those who ought to
know. that the American navy is capable of up
holding its traditions and OF vindicating the
honor OF the United States in any emergency
This information comes at timely moment
and Is in cheering contrast to the latest reports
we had from experts concerning Uncle Sans
naval establishment. On former occasions we
were told Of the riekety and unseaworthy con-
ditiop OF the ancient craft that were supposed
to bear the Stars and Stripes through the waters
OF the seven seas. They were rusty and full Of
holes and didn't dare fire their guns for fear
they would fall to pieces under the shock, and
II they did fire their guns they would exhaust
the available powder supply. II wouldn't make
much difference, anyhow, for they couldn't get
close enough to hostile craft to do il any dam
age, oh. yes, of course; that was when con-
gress was in session, and the appropriation bill
was pending. II does make a difference AZ
what season OF the year we talk about our navy.
Man for man. gun for gum ship for ship. the
navy Of the United States is as good as any that
floats and in every test to which It has ever
been put has proved itself master OF all

On an Even Keel.

Efforts to rock the boat" so far have not
made much OF an impression on the craft for It
still is as steady as a church" as the sailormen
say The suggested contents Of the note Presi-
dent Wilson will send to Germany in reference
to the Lustsnia and other incidents OF recent
development will we'll meet with the critical
analysis Of sober minds II makes no recession
from the position OF the United States, an
nounced many weeks ago, when Germany was
notified Il would be held to strict accountability
for the loss OF any American lives or the de-
struction OF American property as a result OF its
submarine warfare. and this will now be In
sisted upon.
The excuse put forward by the Germans that
warning" had been issued in advance OF the
sailing OF the Lusitania is fairly met by the pres
ident. who points out that declaration OF in
tention to commit an unlawful act cannot be
held as justification OF such act. The re-
quirements OF International law, OF treaty con
ventions and Of established agreements between
nations are that non-combatants must be taken
in safety from vessels captured and held as
prizes before such prizes be destroyed. This
principle the president restates with emphasis
Criticism OF the course OF the United States
coming from British sources can easily be borne
for It is TO Great Britsins interest and advsn-
tage TO have the United States embroiled with
Germany. The calm with which the president
is now proceeding is born OF the power OF the
United States. which will support his decision
with a firm strength that other nations will re-
spect. no matter how much the critics may rail

Auditorium Management.

II will be only few weeks before omsha's
Auditorium will pass into the possession and
control OF the city. and II will devolve upon the
city commissioners TO see that ~ is managed in
the way most productive Of public good With
an interest charge Of less than $1,000, and no
taxes entered up against II, there is good
reason why this enterprise should not be run on
liberal lines. and at the same time be a profit
item on the ledger
The whole problem lies in devising new uses
for the structure. Any investment that lies
idle most OF the time must entail loss. The
city's dividends must come from continuous use
by large groups of the population. and this can
be accomplished only by popularizing the public
entertainments that are held there and encour.
aging patronage by admission prices within
reach Of all whenever an admission price is
charged
Another requirement is reasonable
schedule OF rental charges to be adhered to with
out favoritism or discrimination, and a clear
definition OF what constitutes a community en-
terprise for which the use OF the building is to
be free or at nominal cost Only II these things
are settled in advance, and settled right, will
the acquisition OF the Auditorium by the city be
marked with success from the start.
