Recent Rome dispatches have limited
at a possible demonstration against
King Victor Emmanuel on the part Of
anti-constitutiona deputies on the oc-
casion of the delivery of the speech
from the throne and reports were cir
culated that the speech might be read
by Premier Nitti or some other Off
cial instead of the king, who left Rome
last week. In a dispatch from Rome
dated Saturday and received here on
Sunday, however, the Girnale d'Italia
was quoted as denying that the king
would not be present at the opening of
Parliament and adding that all the con
stitutionalist deputies stood ready to
make an enthusiastic demonstration
for the sovereign.
II may be noted that the Rome dis
patch received to-day bearing Fridays
date and bringing out clearly the Sc
riousness of the crisis as it then ap-
pearcd, has been preceded in arrival by
dispatches of later rates. Delays in
transmission, of course, may entirely
account for the failure of this particu-
larly important dispatch to reach this
country at an early date.

 And now" Judge Crane began. as he finished his coffee and lit a cigarette. what is the order of the day? Are we going to try to catch up on sleep or are We going to do a days work?''
 A days work. by all means" Frances answered. I think both of you have forgotten that l have a new position.
 "A new position?' Ballin exclaimed, a little frown cn his face.
 T knew ycu had forgotten" Frances laughed. q mean the job you offered be yesterday morning. Your private sec- retary"
 "oh," the man smiled. That? No, l hadn't forgotten. l was only wondering if you weren't too tired to think of it for today?''
 Not a bit Frances answered. "I have. too much to learn to waste time about it. This afternoon I am going to ask you if you will go with me to the room you spoke of and introduce me to the lady who keeps the house I don't want to be a homeless wanderer for an- other night if I can help it."
 Frances had little thought of what the coming night would hold. Her words, Homeless wanderer," were spoken in the lightest jest, but before another F hours had passed over her head, the phrase was destined to lose most of it's qual- ity of humor and become very near to a grim reality.
 T certainly will" Ballin returned. 'sWell first go up to the house and re- cover your baggage, then I'll take you to the old lady. Her house hasn't mucn style, but
 Don't apologize. Frances laughed. Style and l were never very great friends"
 Then you are going to your officer Judge Crane wanted to know.
 That's the plan at present. Ballin nodded. Heavens knows how long it will stay the plan. Things happen so rap idly lately that it's a job to keep up with them.
 sI'u drop in on you later" the judge said. T have something of plan, too. Not a very definite one, but at least a rough outline. I've been thinking over this Annie, and I've made up my mind to try and see her.
 Exactly" Frances nodded. ''lf you can get her to talk we can learn more from her in 8 minute than we can by our selves in week"
 That's my opinion, too" Ballin put in'

 That's true. Yes. I'll call her up right away. Her name is Willis-Laura Will 1 lis, and you will find her very capable, She worked three or four years for me when had my office downtown"
 Then we will expect her. Your first duty, Frances, is to remember her name. I'm dead sure I won't"
 "Very well, boss" Frances laughed as she also rose to her feet But I do think you are terribly foolish to bother with me down in that office. I know I am going to be a rank failure. Why, l don't know thing about office work"
 You didn't know much about detective work, either" Ballin returned. "At least 1 you didn't last night on the train, but we've done pretty we'll so far in saving our skins, and with an army around who l would like very much to hang them up l to dry We won't talk any more about how little you can do, we'll only think about how much you have done"
