Was There A Conspiracy?
1t was charged that there exist
ed in Baltimore a conspiracy to as
sassinate the President; but l am
not aware that any reliable evid-
ence has ever been produced to
sustain the charge. The Albany
Evening Journal of that time
says "The friends of Mr.. Lincoln
do not question the loyalty and
hospitality of the people of Mary
land; but they were aware that a
few disaffected citizens who SYM
pathized warmly with the seces-
sionists were determined to frus-
trate, at all hazards, the Inaugural
ton of the President-elect, even at
the cost of his life" The Balti-
more Clipper, strong Union
newspaper, most positively assert
ed that there was no conspiracy
The Baltimore American, anoth-
err Union journal, said: ample
precautions were taken to guard
against any violation of the public
peace. A large police force was
detailed for duty at the depot, = n
, and these measures of Marshal
Kane. even if they had failed to
restrain any expression of disap-
probation, would certainly have

THE whole article in the "Amer-

any assassination plot, but attri-

Southern sympathizers were open

more moderate, but firm. The first

speeches from their leaders, anc

richer than is generally known in

phrase, the socially hungry" 1t
does not refer, as one might sup
pose, to the climbers, socially

seeking the society of those richer

receive, and for the touch of a

SHH HAT fond recollections of our child
W. hood are revived by the arrival of
Washington's Birthday. How we are
carried back to the time when we used to
sit and listen to that wonderful story of
the cherry tree. And how we, too, with
the story of little Georgies truthfulness
vividly impressed on our mind, made
noble resolutions that we should be like
him-never ie-always speak the truth;
and how our very being would be carried
away with The thoughts of the noble and
honorable life we intended to live.
And the stories of his campaigns against
the Indians, during the French and Indian
War; how the little shivers would chase up
and down our back as we listened to Wash
ington's narrow escapes from death, and
how he seemed to dodge the very bullets
of the Indians, until finally they thought
he was a sort of supernatural being and
would shoot at him no more, to which
opinion we would give our hearty approval,
as we also believed he was a kind of a god
and not as other men.
The story of Valley Forge would bring
the tears to our eyes, as we listened to the
tales of the sufferings of the poor soldiers
of Washington's little army; and how our
heart would beat in compassion for Wash
ington as we heard how he went into the
woods to pray to the Heavenly Father for
help and succor-not for himself, but for
his army and for his country. And surely,
we thought, God answered his prayers, else
how could he and his brave men have lived
through that terrible winter?
His vicissitudes and triumphs throughout
the whole Revolutionary period never
ceased to be source of wonder and de-
light and we thought that it was fitting
climax to his career as a great warrior,
when the night watchman called out the
hour in the streets of Philadelphia: ''It is
two o'clock; all's well, and CORVALLIS
has surrendered!'' -'B'

head hunting has now almost COM

They are very fond of music and
dancing, in which they indulge on
all possible occasions. The only
instruments used are gansas. one
of which is carried and played by
each dancer throughout the per-
formance.
The Bontoc Igorots, like the
Ifugaos and the Benguet Igorots,
are spirit worshippers. Their re-
ligious practices consist chiefly in
efforts to propitiate the "Anitos, -

are, however, apt to be incrusted
with agate beads.
The skirts of the women are
gaily embroidered and are often
literally ornamented with pen
dants of mother of pearl. Many
of the women of this region paint
their faces bright orange-red on
festal occasions-a custom un-
known elsewhere in the islands.
Their houses resemble those of
the Kalingas more than those of
the Bontoc Igorots and are often
grouped in compactly built towns
of considerable size.
In warefare the Lubuagan Igo-
rots use typical Kalinga weapons,
but their music and dancing re-
semble those of the Bontoc
Igorots in that the men carry the
gansas and play them as they
dance. The dancing of the women,
however, is much more active and
graceful than that of the BOntoc
women.

Continued from last week.

The Igorots of Bontoc make
huge holes in the lobes of their
ears, into which they thrust wood
en- plugs, bamboo rings and various
other objects, which they consider
ornamental, and occasionally indi-
viduals wear huge metal pendants
in their ears. Chains of brass
wire are highly priced as waist
ornaments, fand the man who can
attach valve of pearl oysters shell
to his girdle is considered fortu-
nate indeed. The men tattoo their
chests and backs very extensively.
They often have numerous tattoo
marks on their arms and faces as
we'll. These facial marks supposed
ly have to do with head-hunting
exploits.
The typical woman's costume is
a short skirt woven from thread
made of bark. 1t is secured at the
waist by a girdle of similar mater
ial. When cloth is not available,
Bontoc Igorote women often fash
ion really very attractive skirts
from shredded banana leaves or
the ornamental, magenta colOred
foliage of plant common IN the
Luzon Mountains. Both men and
women wear blankets on occasion,
if fortunate enough to possess
them. The women use ear orna-
ments similar to those of the men,
and in addition wear in their hair
and about their necks more or less
elaborate strings of beads, boar
tusks, dog teeth and ornamental
seeds.
The typical house of the Bontoc
Igorot has grass roof which over
hangs, but does not meet, low
board sides. There is stOrerOOm
in the roof. The ground space is
divided between sleeping-box at
the end opposite the entrance, a
stall in which food is prepared,
another stall in which it is cooked,
and larger space utilized as may
be convenient. The houses are
grouped in large villages, which
are readily accessible.
The people of this tribe depend
on large numbers of fighting men
for protection rather than on in
accessibility. The villages are
divided into "atos," or wards, in
each of which there is, or should
be, a group of three buildings. OF
which one serves as common
sleeping place for girls, unmarried
women and widows; second
answers a similar purpose for boys,
unmarried men and widowers,
while the third is a sort of mems
club, which contains secret room
in which are kept the skulls OF
enemies killed in war, and has a
second room opening off from
stone court. In this court unoc-
cupied men loaf and talk, and here
are held councils to settle important
questions. The room opening
from it affords a convenient ref
uge during inclement weather.
The Bontoc Igorots build inn
mense systems of rice terraces
with strong retaining walls. They
are excelled only by the terraces
of the Ifugaos. Camotes, generally,
form their principal food. They
raise some beans, corn and mlllet.
They not only keep hogs and
chickens, but raise carabaos, allow
ING them to run half wild, and
never using them for draft pur-
poses, but eating them on cere-
monial occasions. They have
manufactures of some Importance,
making head-axes, metal and clay
pipes, earthen pots, salt, woven
bark cloth, cotton blankets, well
woven clouts and other small
articles.

Lubuagan is the capital of the
sub-province of Kalinga. Its
inhabitants and those of the

they differ in certain essential
particulars from typical repre-

be that they we're originally

CHAPTER VI.

The First Question and Its Answer
Roses instructive attitude toward
the group of young to middle-aged
married people into which her OWL
marriage had introduced her was
founded on the assumption that, allow
ing for occasional exceptions, the hus
bands and wives felt toward each
other as she and Rodney did-were
held together by the same irresistible
unanalyzable attraction.
Oh, there were bumps and bruises
of course! She had seen Rodney drOl
off now and again into a scOwling alb
straction, during which it was SO evi'
dent he didn't want to talk to her, OF
even be reminded that she was about
that she had gone away flushed and
wondering, and needing an effort to
hold back the tears.
These weren't frequent occurrences
though, and did not weaken her idea
that, barring tragic and disastrous
types-unfaithful husbands, cold, mer-
cenary wives-which had to be adj
mitted as existing-marriage was a
state whose happy satisfactOriness
could, more or less, be taken for
granted.
1t was something that Simone Gre
vile said which gave rise to her first
misgiving that marriage was not, per-
haps-even between people who loved
each other quite as simple as 1t
seemed. No one has studied our lei
sured and'cultivated classes with more
candor and penetration than this great
FrancO-Austrian actress. She had
ample opportunities for observation,
because, while she played to houses
that couldn't be dressed to look more
than a third full, she was enormously
in demand for l%uncheons, teas, dinners,
suppers, Christmas bazaars, charity
dances, and so IN.
Rose had met her q number of times
before the incident referred to hap
pened, but had always surveyed the
lioncSS from afar.
She hung about. within earshOt
when it was possible, and watched,
leaving the active duties of entertain
ment to heavily cultured illuminate
like the Howard Vests. or to clever
creatures like Hermione Woodruff and
Frederick, and Constance Crawford,
whose French was good enough to fill
in the interstices in Madame Greville's
English.
She was standing about like that at
n tea one afternoon, when she heard
the actress make the remark that
American IN seemed to her to be
an exception to what she had always
supposed to be the general law of
sex attraction.
1t was taken, by the rather tense
little circle gathered around her, as
a compliment; exactly as, no doubt,

manner, James Watt, a young Scotch.
man Of Glasgow, and an instrument

was a most revolutionary idea. Men
had been working on steam engines
for many centuries, but they had pro-
duced nothing of any practical value.
In the engines Of that period steam
was admitted into only one end Of the
cylinder, and about the only use such
an engine had was to pump water. And
1t wasn't very good at that. AS for
using an engine to turn a wheel-why,
nobody had thought of that. It sim.
ply wasn't being done. But James did
it. He let steam into both ends Of the
cylinder instead Of only one, put a fly
wheel on the end of a shaft and a
crank on the other, and there was the
steam engine, all ready for its real
business.
