yyhy Katie Felt She Had a Right Ito
Have a Man in the Kitchen"

margaret! wake up!" My mother
in-law stood by my bedside gently
shaking me. I felt as If [ had been
asleep for hours, although the night
LIGHT streaming in from the hall IL
Illuminated the face of my little clock
and showed me that it was only IL
o'clock.
It was the first evening Mother
| Graham and I had stayed alone since
the Underwoods had left us. D1cky
had gone into town to a mems thea
ter party and supper, and had told us
not to expect him util the O'Clock
train.
What is the matter, Mother Ora
ham ?" I whispered back.
1T think there is someone in the
Kitchen" she returned, still in the
same low voice. Put on your
kimono and slippers and come down
with me-"
"shaI call Katie?" asked, as
slipped on the articles she had indi-
Gated.
"What's the use?" my mother-in-
law retorted tart1y. "She would only
scream and be frightened out Of her
wits. Are you ready? Come along. y
have never cOsidered myself a
coward, but I must admit that If it
had not been for my mother-1n-laW's
example I would have hesitated be-
fore going down to the kitchen to
investigate any suspicious noise there.
But was ashamed to admit any such
hesitation before my mother-in-laW,
who presented as intrepid a front in
her voluminous gray dressing gown
as ever a general did on battlefield.
"Where's your pocket flash light y
she asked when I was ready to accom-
pany her.
Fright here
I picked up the little electric candle
which always stood on my dressing
table.
Give it to me-
A Most Unexpected Picture.
I smiled in the darkness at her
pcremptory tone.
Como on then and keep quiet. I
wish to surprise whoever's in that
Kitchen"
felt grimly that we were the ones
who might be surprised if a real
burglar were in the house, but 1 said
nothing and followed my mother-in-
laws tall, stately figure down the
stairs and through the lower hall to
the kitchen door
Before I reached it, however, I was
convinced that the intruder, whoever
lie was, was no burglar. A bright
light streamed through the cracks of
the door into the hall, the smell of
boiling coffee was in the air, and we
could hear a low, rumbling, masculine
voice. Then feminine giggle struck
my ears, and I realized the truth.
Katie must be in the kitchen enter
tanning some masculine caller most
probably Jim. I would have turned
back and reproved the girl for the
lateness of the hour the next day, but
my mother-in-law was made of
sterner stuff.
She threw the door open suddenly
but noiselessly, and a most unexpected
picture was presented to us.
The kitchen was brilliantly lighted
and the kitchen table was spread with
enc of my small luncheon cloths On
it was spread a goodly portion of the
remnants of the roast left from din

Barrett Urges American Re- publics to Band Together
 for Defense.
FEARS ATTEMPTTO
 SEIZE TERRITQ QRY
Neither vietors Nor Yanqaislned 'tR Great European Combat Will Feel Friendly Toward United States
 and Sister Republics.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Warning was sounded at the Pan-American scien. tific congress today, that at the end ct the war in Europe an attempt may be made to seize territory in Hhe western hemisphere.
 In the most sensational speech heard during the congress, John Barrett. director of the Pan-Amer- ican union, urged all American re- publics to band together to protect themselves from aggression by Euro psan nations.
 "In. the minds and thoughts of everybody interested. in pan-Amer- icanism,'' said MT. Barrett. ''is the question, Whats going to happen to pan-America when this war Is over?'
 Whatever group of nations wins in this mighty combat, will say that it won in spite of the attitude of the United States and the other American republics. Whichever side loses will say that it lost because of the attt- t,rde of the United States and its sister republics.
 "No mater, therefore, how just and fair the nations of America may have been in their efforts to preserve their neutrality and in no way interfere on either side of this conflict, the war passions and the war power of the [ eople and the governments of the victorious group of nations may force a policy toward pan-American- ism, toward the Monroe doctrine and toward their relationship with indi- yidual countries of the western hem isrhere, which will demand absolute solidarity of action on the part of the American republics, to preserve their very integrity"

 The state department authorities said of the Austrian note:
 "So far as our demands for an agreement on board and specific rrinciples are concerned, the Aus tran foreign office has granted every thing. It has, in fact, gone further than we had reason to expect at the close of department hours yesterday. It is worth noting that Austria re- verted to the principles set forth by this government in the first Luss- tania note, in which we conteaded that it was not only specific law, bat the dictates of humanity, which sf ould govern warfare. Austria has agreed to this almost in specific terms"

Lusitania and Ancona Gases Expected to Be Settled in
 Few Days.
AUSTRIA GRANTS
 ALL U. $. DEMANDS
State Department We'll Satisfied with Note. Which Has Been Transmit. ted by Telegraph to Presi-
 dent Wilson.

Wa ellington, Dec 21.-The receipt C. the official text of the Austrian reply in the Ancona case, and cer- tain developments in the Lusitania case, brought intimations today from !he state department, white house and diplomatic circles that the en- tire controversy between the United States and the Teutonic powers oyer submarine warfare is practically at an end.
 The settlement will be complete, 1t vas said, when negotiations on sev- eral points of secondary importance gre concluded.
 As an evidence of the sincerity of Austria in her desire that friendly relations with the United States be continued, word was given out that Austria is preparing to send an am tass ador to this country to succeed Dr. Dumba, recalled at the request Of the state department some months ago.
 The Austrian note came in during the day, and was decoded at once. Late this afternoon, it is understood, it was forwarded by telegraph to President Wilson at Hot Springs, Va. Officials of this government were lainly gratified by the attitude of Austria and did not hesitate to ex- rress their belief that "the Ancona case as an important issue has ceased to exist" Official opinion general ly was that the Austrian reply, so far as it deals with the principles in- volved, is all that could be desired ty the United States.
 The indications that satisfactory progress is being made toward the settlement of the Lusitania\ cease were manifested after an early call by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, on Secretary of State Lansing. The outlook in this direc- ton appeared so encouraging tonight that it brought from an official close to the white house the optimistic pre- diction that the controversy with Ger many will be settled within a. week.
