Olga listened with ill-disguised i'm
patience to Morton's account OF his
interview with Doctor Owen
Stupid" she cried, stamping her
foot angri1y. You have bungied
things abomfnabIy. You should have
had more sense than to offer him mon
ey. You can't treat a man Of that
type the same way you would a ward

Lets hear what you have to sug-
gest, then" said Morton mOrosely.
Il think that l will call on Doctor
Emerson Owen myself remarked
Olga, pinning on her hat. Il should
like to know a little more about the
arrangement of his house.
The neatly gowned maid who an
swered the bell told Olga that Doctor
Owen was occupied with patient, but
that If she would take a seat in the
waiting room he would be at liberty
in few minutes. No sooner had the
maid left, however, than she began to
take stock of her surroundings. The
door at her left, from behind which
came the muffled sound of voices, led,
she had no doubt, into the consultation
room But there were two other doors
and it was necessary to the perfection
of her plans that she should know
into what rooms they opened. Softly
turning the knob of one of the doors,
she pushed it far enough ajar to catch
a glimpse of a room that was evidently
a doctors study, and, beyond, a din
ing room. The other door, through
which the maid had disappeared, she
opened boldly. 1t led, as she suspect
ed, into a hallway communicating with
the service portion of the house. At
that moment the maid appeared, COM
ing evidently from the kitchen.
Il feel a little faint" said Olga.
May 1 trouble you for a glass of wa
ter?"
Certainly, madam" was the an
swer. I'll bring you glass at once"
Olga's simple little maneuver had
given her the information that she
wanted; she was now acquainted with
the interior arrangement of the house.
A few minutes later the door of the
consultation room was thrown open
and Doctor Owen motioned her to
come in.

By eight o'clock every table in the
Palm room Of the Hotel Arbor was

Morton, by liberal tip to the head
waiter, had succeeded in obtaining a
table close to the door, but screened
by palms, so that he and Olga were
enabled to watch all who entered or
left the room without themselves be-
ing seen.

New Observation-Disclosures.

A new telegraph instrument has been
invented by means Of which any tele-
graph operator may send messages in
the Morse code over an ordinary tele-
phone This new instrument can be
attached TO any telephone and the con-
nectiOa between il is purely mechani-
cal. It does not require any additional
electric circuit. The telegraph key has
q pivot at the end 1t produces a sharp
distinct sound and is connected with
the metal case OF the telephone by two
clamps. 1t is claimed that Morse sig
nails sent by this instrument carry
longer distances than the human voice
over long distance telephones, so the

value both in supplementary and In

The little coast town Of Sandstone

existence, to the great crescent of
sandy beach on which it stands It's
almost perfect summer climate, its
splendid seabathing, and its proximity
to San Francisco, have long made it
one of the most popular resorts on the
California coast, it's hundreds of low
rooted, shingled bungalows finding
ready tenants during the summer
months, while its great tourist hos
telry, the Hotel Arbor, is crowded with
pleasure-seekers from early June to
late September. The less af1uent of
