 For an instant Jane was sure Billy had caught sight of the chauffeur as he lodged out of sight around the cor ner of the window frame, but such was evidently not the case, for the young man turned again to Jane and added his voice to his fathers request that Jane remain with them for the night.
 Come, Miss Brown he laughed. You surely aren't going to deprive me of the pleasure of an evening of your com pany. We'll have a jolly evening and bright and early tomorrow morning I'll take you back to town in my car. 1 have business appointment at o'clock, so you see you won't waste much time."
 The man was just trifle too insistent. It was an almost intangible note of eagerness, but in that instant Jane saw him as he had been that evening in Greenwich Village. The good impression she had gained after his first appearance in the house was but a veneer after all. On the surface he might be a gentle man, but at heart he was still as much a beast as ever.
 That's very nice of you, MT. Burns" she said, smiling with self-possession which surprised her. "But unfortunate ly I have an engagement in New York this evening. I am going to ask your father if I can impose on his good na- ture to let ms car take me 70 the near est railway station, where I can get train for New York. Do you think you could, MT. Burns?" she added, turn ing to the older man. T appreciate your invitation very much, but it is very im- portant that I get to New York to- night"
 Certainly, Miss Brown" was his an- swer. we would like to have you stay, especially since the unfortunate adven- ture through which you have gone grew out of something my son unintentionally said, but if you think you should go will be glad to put my car at your dis posal. While you get your hat l will see about it.'
 Thank you" Jane answered, and with a smile she turned and ran lightly up the stairs.
 Once in the room where she had slept, she moved quickly to the bathroom, for she remembered she had left her hat hanging on the wall, but as she opened the door she started back in surprise. Facing her, his hands in his pockets, a cigarette dropping from the corner of his mouth, was the chauffeur who only few moments before had signaled to her from the library window.
 How did you get in here?" Jane gasped.
 The man jerked one thumb toward the

Morgan had been sufficiently informed while in London of the immediate needs of France and England and also of the resources which each of these nations possessed Therefore he was able In few words to say to the American bank CTS that in his opinion this loan should be underwritten because it was not only safe but fairly profitable and represent ed also the meeting of the immediate needs of these two nations.

MIR. MORGAN TAKES
 TRIP TO EUROPE
By HOLLAND.

New York, September 9.-(Special) For J. P. Morgan to arrive in London. especially after a long absence, is an event in the fr.ancial, commercial and to some extent political life of Great Britain. Mir. Morgan was quoted as hay ing said as he was embarking upon the steamer for Europe that he was taking vacation. He felt that a rest of a few weeks or perhaps two or three months is justified since he had had no opportunity for sojourn of that kind away from business for six years.
 j. MT. Morgan went to Europe within a few months after the Germans began their march towards Paris. Later he again visited London, but since that time has been unable to cross the ocean hav- ing been, as he intimated intensely oc- cupied at his home office with affairs of importance both domestic and interna- tional for the past five years.

 MIR MORO VICIT

Other achievements of almost immeas- urable importance represent the rela- tion of the firm to European affairs, and especially the aiding of Great Brit ain in her emergencies. Furthermore, President Wilson and others drew heav- fly upon the Morgan firm for assistance. The President named Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross organiza- ton and under Davison's leadership some S4O0, ,00O,000 were raised and expended without word of criticism. The Pres ident also, acting through the Secretary of the Treasury, MT. Glass, named Thomas w. Lamont of the Morgan firm as one of the committee which was to have special charge in Paris of studying reparation and other financial questions. Mir. Lamonts success in this work has been recognized by leaders both in France and in Great Britain, and by some in the United States The President in addition brought MT. Stattnius of this firm into an important official rela- tion to the government during the war.

 A GREAT PROBLEM
 A problem almost the most difficult and important to solve certainly disturbs the London and Paris financial markets. It involves the correct answer to the question, how shall foreign exchange be stabilized? MT. Morgan, as was the case with his father, is a master of the very complicated problem of foreign ex- change. The presumption is strong, therefore, that while he Is in London and later in Paris, he will be in frequent conference with the financial leaders seeking to find the correct answer which will make it possible to stabilize ex- change thereby correcting much of the demoralization and some of the stagna- tion which our present-day international trade, due to foreign exchange situation Is facing Mir. Morgan is known to be fully convinced that the United States will be called upon for a year or perhaps longer to utilize it's resources, mobilizing them, bringing them under systematic organization, so that the present imper- ative needs of Europe can at last be met. Furthermore, Mir. Morgan is con- vinced that it is of the highest impor- tance to the United States that normal conditions be restored as speedily as pos- sible in Great Britain and upon the continent of Europe, especially France and Belgium. It may be possible that while he is in Europe suggestions will be made which if adopted will be fol- lowed by the negotiation of some for eign loans large in amount in the aggre- gate made by the United States. In fact, some of MT. Morgan's friends sus- pect that while he is in London and in Paris he will confer with governmental

COLLINS BlUNDER
RESPONSIBLE FOR
BILLS FAILURE

According to advices received
over the phone this afternoon from
Fairbanks, the failure of passage
of the bill carrying an appropria-
ton of S43, 900 for the Agriculture
al College and School Of Mines is
attributed to an innocent blunder
made by Representative Collins of
the Fourth division.
1t would appear that the bill, IN
its enirety, was passed by the house
and sent to the senate, but was
turned down there. Representative
Collins, who strongly supported the
measure, had retired to bed, when
joint conference committee met
and decided to let the bill go
through with a $4,000 appropria-
ton.
Collins returned to the house;
he was not told of the agreement
arrived at by the joint committee,
and when the bill came up for dis
cussion, just before adjournment,
he insisted on its passage as origi-
nally drawn up, with the result
that much valuable time was lost
in the discussion that ensued and
the bill was defeated for lack of
time.
Britt, Casey, Sowerby and White
of the First division and Noon and
Patterson of the Third division sup
ported the Fourth division legisla-
tors in their fight for the college
appropriation.

GANG SENT TO
FINISH BR Does

On the train leaving this morn
ing a gang of men was sent up to
put in the extra bolts and sway
braces on the railroad bridges be-
tween the old camp at 35 mile and
the Nenana crossing at 43 mile.
In order that the roadway may
be finished in the quickest possible
time and through traffic between
Nenana and the coal fields estab-
lished, the spaces now occupied by
these bridges were cribbed up and
the line extension made.
The bridges were driven later on
and the finishing touches are now
being put on.
There are only a few bridges
to be thus completed, and it is ex-
pected that the work will be COM
pleted in about a weeks time.

FOREST FIRE IS
QUENCHED BY RAIN

The fire which had been burning
stedily for the past few days on
the hillside across the river had al
most spent itself last night, when
the rain came down and extin-
guished it altogether
1t was first seen a few days ago
as it came over the crest of the
hill and burned steadily downward
in a long, snake-like line of flames,
which in some places had almost
reached the waters edge ere the
rain came down last night.
AS a protective measure, back
fires were started from Camp AIS,
the Indian village and the two
cemeteries on the hillside yester-
day morning, and any damage that
threatened was thereby averted.

43-M|LE BRIDGE
CONSIDERED SAFE

The breakup on the Nenana river
is reported OF have been quite a
tame affair in comparison with that
of last year Most of the ice would
appear to have become thoroughly
honeycombed, and, as a consequence.
the damage resulting from its
movement has been, SO far, infni-
tesimal.
Fears were entertained, earlier
in the season, for the safety of
the big bridge across the Nenana
river at 43 mile, as the water there
is very swift, and also owing to
the fact that, by reason of the
boulder-strewn nature of the river
bottom, not much penetration was
obtained for the piles driven to
support the bridge.
The latest reports from out the
line, however, would Indicate that
the ice has practically gone out
from the neighborhood of the
bridge, and that all but about 100
feet of it on either side of the
bridge still remains. The small ice
foes coming down the river now
are soft and break easily into small
particles against the piling. The
ice clinging to the piling is being
steadily washed out and it is ex-
pected that it will all disappear
soon.
A narrow channel is open in the
center of the river now and no
danger is apprehended from the
movement of the ice on either
shore. Superintendent Packer stat
ed that, in his opinion, the bridge
will sustain no damage from the
ice this season, and that, conse-
quently, through traffic from Ne
mana to the coal fields will not be
interrupted.
