The senator nodded and Pearl began

own. 1t contained two passengers
whose faces were hidden. The car
passed so near the curb on which she
stood that she was able to overhear
their conversation. The name OF
Adams was mentioned and something
about an appointment at the senate
building. This was enough to excite
PEARLS alarms. She hailed a taxicab
and started in pursuit of the limou'
sine.
An exciting chase followed, winding
up In front of the senate building. The
limousine reached there first. Its pas.
sengers dismounted, presented a pass
to the guards and entered. The guards
held her up as it was long after the
hour when unidentified callers were
admitted. But by a ruse she evaded
them and stole into the main corridor

blow and fell. But he was up In an

of the two and caught up with the
latter at the end of the corridor. They
stumbled together into n freproof
stairway. There ensued another en-
counter. He regained possession OF
the senator's file. Then his footing
slipped and he tumbled headlong. AZ
ter that for some minutes Adams knew
nothing.
Back in Senator Warfield's rooms q
surprising scene was being enacted.
On the floor stretched the lifeless body
of an attendant. Senator Warfield,
greatly shaken, was on his feet trying
to regain his composure. Near by
stood Miss Pearl Dare. In one hand
she held a thick, black muller. She
was about to pass it to Major Steele.
Pearl was greatly agitated.

young officer had been convicted of
guilt; could this rude and whimsical
character really be the master plotter

daughter? The sudden and untimely
passing of Captain Payne filled him
with profound sorrow, too, for not
only had Payne been a favorite, but a
prospective son-in-law as well. He
fastened from Union depot to the war
department to report to the chief of
staff.
Major Brent reached the city In a
somewhat desperate frame Of mind.
He had accompanied the colonel to the
wreck out of a sense of duty, 1t is
true, but more particularly for person
al reasons. Payne was dead and
therefore that obstacle to the fortune
of Pearl Dare was removed.
He had not lost the one opportunity
afforded by the homeward ride. The
colonel had gone into another coach
leaving Pearl alone with him in their
Pullman drawing room. She was gaz-

Her desolate spirit responded. She
reached over and laid the tips of her
fingers lightly upon his sleeve.
'If could only have had one last

moment was on the presidents unde-

His hand closed over hers: his
senses were tingling.

GAMES DRAW
 LARGE CROWD SPECTATORS

The two basketball games Satur- day night drew a large number of spectators, who witnessed two of the best games of the season. Both games were fast, the players striving hard to take home the laurels. The first game was between the Signal Corps and the soldier team from Fort Lis cum, the score ending in favor of the Signal corps boys, 36 to g. The lineup was as follows:
 Fort Liscum-Forwards Young Colin; Center Greer; Guards, Whita- ker, Zobrist.
 Signal Corps - Forwards, Van Wyck, Tyler; Center, Shutz; Guards, Botway, Clifton. Field goals-Signal Corps: Van Wyck, &; Tyer l.; Shuts, 3: Botway, |; Clifton 1.
 Fort Liscum: Young 1; Greer B;
 Foul Goals--Signal Corps: Van Wyck, 2; Shuts, 6.
 Fort Liscum: Whitaker 1.
 The game between the Congrega- tionals and the Moose teams was all extremely fast one, the Congregation al team winning from the Moose by one point, 38 to 39, after an extra five-minute interval had been played on account of a tie. The lineup:
 Congregationals--F Cud- dy, Anderson; Center, Clifton; Guards Bell, Nelson.
 Moose: Forwards, T. Selby, H. Sel- by, Keesler, Center, Miller Guards, T. Selby, H. Selby, Roseen.

AT EAGLE
 FOR EMBEZZLEMENT

Clyde A. Thompson, the we'll known postmaster at Eagle is under arrest on a charge of embezzlement and has been bound over to appear be- fore the grand jury on bail in the sum of $6000, of which amount J. B. Howard. formerly of Cordova. furn- ished s20OO.
 Charles Riddeford, postal inspec- tor and Arthur Paisley. an inspector from Spokane, made the complaint against Thompson.
 . The inspectors came to Eagle in September and immediately upon ar rival there went to make an investi- gation of the office. After the in- spection the postmaster was charged by the inspectors with being short of funds to the amount of over $60O0. The charge of embezzlement was made before the commissioner at Ea- gle by Riddeford and Paisley and the defendant waived the right of secur- ing counsel and refused to give any statement until he was brought up for trial
 Friends of Thompson say they are sure there must be some mistake, as it seems almost an impossibility in a town the size of Eagle for a man to collect postofice funds to the amount the accused is suspected of appropri- ating.

The One He Wanted

Young Isaac stood in line at the library to draw out a book. When his turn came he asked respectfully: "Please give me Miss Alcott's Jew book"
 The young lady looked puzzled. "A book by Miss Louisa M. Alcott?"
 "Yes." reiterated Isaac, Her Jew book"
 "Can you remember the title?"
 No: but it's her Jew book" he insisted.
 Well, I'll read over some of the ti- ties of her books to you, and perhaps you can tell me the one you want when you hear it read.
 Patiently. she began: Little Wo- men, Little Men, Under the Lilacs. Rose in Bloom, -"

A Charm for Wives

A young woman who thought she was losing her husbands affection went to a seventh daughter of a sev- enth daughter for a love charm. The mystery woman told her: Get a piece of raw beef, cut flat, about an inch thick. Slice an onion in two. and rub both sides with it. Put on pepper and salt and toast 1t on each side over a red coal fire. Drop on it three Jumps of butter and parsley, and get him to eat it."
 The young wife did. and her hus- band loved her ever after.
