ing. Besides, have had a great loss today. My man, Bella" Then with his former abruptnees: Have you no idea who this Mrs. Averill is. or why she broke into my house?"
 There's but one explanation, sir I've been thinking about it ever since I got wind of where she took my Peggy. The woman Is not responsible. She has some sort of mania. Why else should she go into strange gate just because she saw it open?"
 You speak of her as a stranger. Are you quite sure that she is a stranger to Shelby? You have not been so very many years here, and her constant wearing of veil indoors and out is very suspicious"
 50 I'm beginning to think. And there is something else, judge, which makes me suspect you may be quite correct about her not being an entire stranger here. She knows this house too we'll"
 The judge started. The strength of his self-control had relaxed bit, and he showed in the look he cast about him what 1t had cost him to enter these doors.
 "It is not the same, of course," con- tinued Mrs. Yardley, affected in pc culiar way by the glimpse she had caught of the others emotion, unnatu- ral and incomprehensible as it ap- peared to her. "The place has been greatly changed, but there is a cer- tain portion of the old house left which only person who knew it as it originally was would be apt to find; and yesterday, on going into one of these remote rooms I came upon her sitting in one of the windows looking out. How she got there or why she went I cannot tell you. She didn't choose to tell me, and I didn't ask. But I've not felt real easy about her since."
 Excuse me, Mrs. Yardley, it may be matter of no moment. but do you ! mind telling me where this room is?"
 Its on the top floor, sir; and it looks out over the ravine. Perhaps she was spying out the path to your house."
 The judges face hardened. He felt baffled and greatly disturbed; but he spoke kindly enough when he again addressed Mrs. Yardley: T am as ignorant as you of this woman's personality and of her req sons for intruding into my presence this morning. But there is something so peculiar about this presumptuous | attempt of hers at an interview that I feel impelled to inquire into it more fully, even if have to approach the only source of information capable | of giving me what want-that is, her self. Mrs. Yardley, will you procure me an immediate interview with this | woman? I am sure that you can be 1 relied upon to do this and to do 1t with caution. You have the counte. | nance of a woman unusually discreet ?
 The subtle f1attery did it's work | She was not blind to the fact that he had introduced it for that very pur pose, but it was not in her nature to withstand any appeal from so exalted a source. however made. Lifting her eyes fearlessly to his, she responded earnestly:
 T am proud to serve you. I will see what l can do. Will you wait here?"
 Judge Ostrander had just time to brace himself to meet the unknown when the door fell back and the wom an of the morning appeared in the opening

lieve that man would mind that She has a look-a way, that even women feel. You may judge, sir, if we, old stagers at the business, have been willing to take her in and keep her. at any price-a woman who won't show her face except to me, and who will not leave her room without her veil and then only for walks in places where no one else wants to go-she must have some queer sort of charm to overcome all scruples. But she's gone too far today. She shall leave the inn tomorrow. 1 promise you that. sir, whatever Samuel says. But sit down; sit down; you look tired, judge Is there anything you would Hke? Shall I call Samuel?"

Spring Waists.

Spring waists are both novel and wearable. The most noticeable fea- lures are the continued use of high collars and the return of jabots and ruffies. That the jabot has returned is good news, for never did women look more attractive than when they wore jabots and ruffles of crisp linen and lace.-Vogue.

BE INVESTIGATED
Or. Victor S. CIafk, Former
Territorial Commissioner, Is
Coming This Summer

A federal investigation OF labor con.
ditions in Hawaii is shortly to be
made under the direction of the de-
partment of labor, the first of its kind

sioner of immigration for the terri

ing to news received in Honolulu with
much interest.
DR.. Clark is familiar both with the
work and with the field. He has made
two such reports on Hawaii. In fact
itrwas in connection with the report
five or six years ago that he came to
Hawaii. Then he, was engaged on
territorial statistical work in connec.
tion with the last general census, aft
er which he was employed as the ter
ritorial commissioner Of Immigration.
Resigning this post he went to Wash
ington to renew connections with the
Carnegie institution OF which he had
held for some time a sort of rowing
commission. He has had many years
of experience in Industrial statistics
work.
AS commissioner of immigration he
was closely in touch with labor condi.
tons in Hawaii
Under the terms of the federal act
providing for territorial government
in Hawaii, an annual report was to be
made on labor conditions here This
was amended to call for a report ev-
cry five years The last of these re-
ports was published in May. 1911.
In private correspondence DR.. Clark
has said that he expected to be here
this summer. The report he will
make viii be his third on the sub
ject. In past reports he has found
some occasion for criticism, but on
the whole businessmen say that his
statistics and conclusions are accurate
and fair.

Owing to rough seas no salvage
work on the submarine F4 has been
in progress since Sunday noon. The
efforts Of the divers and dredgemen

ued again today until the heavy sea
quiets down.
The surf is very heavy at the point
where operations are now centralized.
The ground swell now running
makes it impossible for divers to main

makes objects more than six feet
