loneliness which is the fate often
forced upon the mighty by an over
respectful public. The shaggy head
was raised In leonine majesty to greet
the reporter.

inquired of Pedro.
YES" said he.
What. in particular. are you going

reporter Whereat the innocent and
unsuspecting Pedro launched into an
enthusiastic explanation of some of
his pet theories.
In the midst of these he spied Iris
(for the moment seated alone) and, ex.
cusing himself, he made his way
toward her. As soon as his back was
turned, Pell pulled out his notebook
and began making tottings.
Said he knew Leigh well. Hum

Wonder why I never heard OF him be-
fore?" he muttered, writing rapidly.
Then he slipped into his overcoat. and
left hurriedly.
Meanwhile Pedro resumed his little
filtration, quite unconscious that Iris
had been watching him all evening
with an increasing disturbance OF the
heart. How romantic. how charming
q figure he appeared to her, he could
not guess; nor that the game he
played 80 lightly was already in fair
way to become a serious matter in her
mind. She gave him her address and
asked him to lunch with her next day.

said, as he helped her into her car

Then he closed its door and allowed
her to be whirled away, as she sat
very erect, with glowing cheeks. To
herself she was whispering with fast,
beating heart. Have l found my

CHAPTER TX.
The Lady Of Mystery.


Wrapped in a brilliant yellow bath
robe, Pedro was finishing breakfast.
Having perched himself upon a high
stool, he broke the rind of an orange
with the tip of a palette knife, while
staring contemplatively at half-fin-
ished canvas-one of the many with
which the room was Uttered. Then he
ate pensively, and when he had fin
ished, lighted cigarette and opened
the morning paper. From the front
page sprang a piece of news that fairly
made him jump. The headline bore
his own name.
NOTED SPANISH PAINTER HERE
Signor Pedro Has Taken S. J. Hills
Studio for the Winter. To Paint
City as 1t Is.
This was the caption, after which
followed an interview with himself,
based upon what he had said to Pell,
the young reporter, the night before,
but considerably embellished by that
gentleman's own Imagination. For sew
eral moments the reader was quite
overcome with amusement He, Pedro,
mere student, thus advertised, thus
hauled to fame! In writing the article
Pell had assumed the same sort OF
knowledge on the part of his readers
that he had himself assumed. Thus,
upon nothing, he had built the founda.
tions of a reputation.
The lad laughed. and spreading the

OF Revolutionary SAVIOR.
Meanwhile, the cab into which the
lady who had tainted had been carried,
and which Pedro had seen drive away
from Milligans door before he gained
entrance there, was halted after it had
gone less than three blocks, and the
directions that had been given before
the assembled guests. changed to that
OF little unknown cafe opposite Cen
trail park, and some five miles uptown.
Without protest at the distance, or
even exacting the promise of a larger
fare, the cabby obeyed the order; the
cab was wheeled about and headed
northward.
Inside, against the cushioned wall
Sonora Daussa had laid her head, her
cheeks pale, but her wide dark eyes
showing that she had returned to con-
seriousness. She was a beautiful wom-
an of that rare type, blonde Spaniard

although she was close to forty years
of age, her slender graceful figure and
erect carriage made her appear young

seemed the very incarnation of lowell

He was about to lay his hand upon

forearm and gently pushed him aside.
Astonished at his guests strength, the
husky Irishman stepped back. and
watched while Hill gently awoke the
old woman.

New York, Feb. 5.-Following
statement Of anthracite coal oper-

says:
From all parts of the country, es-
pecially the great cities and dis
tributing centers, some accounts OF

consequent profitable market. 1t
is only just that the miners should
have a share in the prosperity that
their arduous and hazardous labor
has made possible.
increases in the wages of miners
in the anthracite regions have by no
means kept pace with the rates in
other industries. In ten years fol-
lowing the award of the anthracite
strike commission, while rates of
wages of the anthracite miners re-
manned practically stationary, the
workers in other industries, includ-
ing the miners in the bituminous
fields, were granted wage. increases,
and the anthracite miners were
forced to pay their share of the bet
ter wages for men of other crafts
through the added costs of commodi-
ties that formed the necessities of
their living.
Reports indicate that there are no
great stores of anthracite, but the
miners demands are not based upon
the necessities of the operators; they
are fully justified by the necessities
of the miners themselves.
