Getting Right Down to Brass Tacks

NUMBER of Washington dispatches have contained intimations
that an effort is to be made to impeach and remove Postmaster
General Burleson. 1t seems to be true that his official acts will
be the subject of congressional investigation. We are opposed to
many, very many. of Mr.. Burlesons official acts. We do not
think he has conducted the department over which he presides
as il should be conducted. He has given too much attention To

sister resented and was lashed be- fore my parents by his Chinese enlis- saries. At last she found refuge in suicide"
 Ut Is a common Russian name, you know, and I innocently assumed to hide my real identity the Grand Duke apologized.
 This man." she resumed, "duped me to victimize you. He played upon my hatred against General Melntkoff He told me he knew the General per sona11y and had many times given concerts before him at his palace in the pre-war days.s
 "'I know the man, I remember now It was a great blunder on my part to have adopted such an odious name,' said the Duke gravely.
 This man befriended me and I could not resist the temptation to kill Melnikoff when my would be friend elaborated such a trap to have him come here this evening"
 Do you know more about the dead man?" asked the Grand Duke.
 Nothing more," she replied. Nothing. It is true. I know nothing of this man. I waited for him to- night. Had General Melnikoff come he would have been lying there in stead of that violinist. Had your Highness come instead of this gentle man, you would have been lying there. I have never seen you before, I should have taken you for the Gen eral. Godi to think of it!'' She GOV cred her face with her hands as she uttered these words.
 Tt appears to me that you have say ed my life, sir," he said as he turned to Kettle.
 And Ms. Anastasia has saved my Iife''
 And who Is this violinist that he should be so anxious to take my life. I do not seem to know him. said the Duke as he stopped down to scrutin- ize the dead man.
 ''The Service might know some thing about him. However I may en- tighten your Highness just a little. This man knew that your visits to the various courts of Europe and your final interview at our State Depart ment were for the purpose of enlist ing general assistance on the side of those opposing the present regime in Russia He knew that you were dan gerOus to partisanS in Russia. So he made friends with the girl to put you out of the way. And what a great feat it would have been-the Grand Duke Paul, the greatest friend of | OIetllt ciSSetSS4llelltb ny St OIISh WO- man!"
 Nevertheless, there is still a great deal that I want to know sir. Who are you?' demanded the Duke.
 Your Highness, first let us think of the lady. She committed a crime that can be punished by death under our laws. Yet she saved your life and mine. Neither you nor would want to have 1t known that we were in this house tonight. I suggest that we first send the girl away. I propose to assist her to escape in my own car, and then, if your Highness will | honor me I will return, and go with you, then I will explain it all"
 'I will not agree to it unless I i know more about the lady and you, | sir" replied the Duke
 Kettle handed to the Grand Duke l a small silver badge.
 Does that introduce me?'
 It does. Now it is perfectly plain. l I feel 1t a great honor to drive you in l my car" A few minutes later a low l whistle brought car in fir mt of No. | 42 Grovedale street. Drive this lady as far as Broad | way and as far beyond as she directs |

Motioning her to step aside he went to the door and opened it with a jerk
 The Grand Duke, both hands in his pockets, gazed at him silently. Kettle saw, the moment he opened the door, that the Russian was armed for the occasion. Without a word led him upstairs to the room at the back.
 Mile. Anastasia Vasilike bowed low in humble courtesy as the Grand Duke entered the room and as he acknowledged 1t In the most cour- teous manner he saw the body of the dead man on the floor. The stoic Grand Duke, however, showed no signs of surprise. He looked at the dead man, turned his eyes upon the girl and then set his piercing glance at Kettle. He still kept his both hands in his pocket, holding his silk hat un- der his left arm.
 T shot him, your gracious High ness. Please be seated, l will ex- plain it, she said.
 T am General Yakov Melntlzoff,' '' he corrected.
 'No, no! your Highness. You are Grand Duke Paul, the man for whom any Pole would gladly offer his or her llLGs sllS plotSSlSu
 As the Grand Duke regarded the girl sharply Kettle laid the long white glove before him on the table.
 What is this? a trap" said the Grand Duke coolIy and showed plainly that he was himself prepared for any emergency.
 Kettle then took a step towards the Duke and holding both girls and his own revolver by their barrels, laid them on the table in front of the visitor, Your Highness need have no anxiety, you are with friends" he said, Ut was a trap" continued Ket- tie, but there lies the man who brought the glove to you at Mrs. Higginson's."
 The Grand Duke still looked pug zled.
 "The man lied to me. I became his willing dupe. You would have been dead in his place had 1t not been for this stranger who. I do not know how, came to me with the glove. For tunately my message went astray," she sobbed.
 But why did you wish to kill Gen eral Melnikoff?" demanded the Grand Duke, still puzzled.
 "I will tell you. General MeIni- Rolf, was the Governor General of Poland when my country was invaded by the Germans. He pIundered the country right and left and burnt down what he could not take away with him, justtfying his acts with the plea that he did not wish to leave anything to the German invaders After the fall of the Tsarist rule in Russia, General Melnizoff first joined the Kerensky regime and then be- came a devotee of the Bolsheviki plunders. When the Germans were forced to evacuate Poland General Melnikoff was selected as High Com missioner of the Bolsheviks and re- turned to Poland at the head of a dis reputable band. He selected our house as his hea adquarters and my family was forced to wait on him. At that time I was away from home and was preparing to return to the bosom of my family after two years of bitter separation and bitter experiences. But my father managed to send me word not to return home. Then my mother wrote and told me the horrible fate of my younger sister. General Mel ilSoff had selected my sister to be- come his wife, much against her ter TOT and heart-rending appeals and the protestations of my parents. My

The passionate tone of her anger set Kettles brain working rapidly. Surely this house was a trap tonight baited with this beautiful singer, yet she did not know the General, that was clear; 1t was only his reputa- tion she knew, or thought she did
 A Shot.
 Perhaps it is you who have been duped.' Kettle said. Do you know who General Melkinoff is?''
 Do I know him!" she exclaimed scornully.
 Do you know that the name is only an incognito assumed for travelling purposes. that he is the Grand Duke Paul of the House of Roanovs?"
 '|rhe Grand Duke Paul." she said In a whisper; the man for whom any Pole would gladly die?''
 That is why we look after him so carefully"
 You swear this is true?"
 "'I do."
 She looked straight into Kettles eyes as if she would read his soul. For a moment she stood rigid and then suddenly she was alive with q movement so swift that Kettles eyes could not follow it.
 ''Liar"' SC cried, and at Hhe same instant a revolver cracked, fired at him point blank, Kettle thought. He had not time to utter a sound and if he moved at all 1t was invo1untarily until something struck him and sent him staggering across the room.
 It was a mans body hurled against him as it fell to the floor He had heard no sound, but the woman had seen the man come from between the curtains behind him, bent on murder, and had fired across Kettles shoulder. The man lay quite still, a short dagger still gripped in his hand Kettle realized that the woman had saved his life if at the same time she had taken her own revenge.
 Tt is perfectly plain to me now. The cheap rascal objected to my tell ing you the truth regarding the Grand, the greatest friend of your Poland" saying that he bent over the dead mans body. The man was the first violinist at Mrs. Higginsons- the man who had handed the long white glove to General Melnikoff.
 Kettle looked at the girl before him for a second or so with a feel ing mixed with pity and admiration. He pitied her for having fallen a Gupe in the hands of a dastard who had selected her for having a talent ed love of Poland. to lure and mur- der Poland's greatest patriot. He ad- mtrS1 her for having perceived the blact plot the very second when de- cisQe action meant the foiling of the ereatest wrong that was being at tempted against a world figure.
 Mile. Anastasia, tell me the truth, how many more of his like does this house harbor?" he asked.
 He is the last of his tribe" replied the prima donna.
 Just then the door bell rang. Ket- tie knew that the Grand Duke had arrived. The girl looked startled and appealingly looking at Kettle.
 shall I go to the door " she asked.
 No" Let me take care of your revolver" he said.
 She first hesitated and then handed the pistol to Kettle. Kettle put it ir his pocket and told her to leave the rest in his han'zs. He then went down the stairs and in the hallway met the old bundle-like lame woman who was standing not knowing whether to answer the bell or not. The old wo- man was not prepared for a second ring at the door, Kettle thought.

ment. And what a humiliating fate, to meet Found murdered in the house of a Polish Prima Donna at such an hour!"
