And she was expecting him! She
had had an impression" that he
would come TO her as soon as his. in
terview with me was over, and she
was not taken unawares.
The wild-eyed Swedish maid admit
ted him, showing him into the recep-
ton room and asking him to wait, as
her mistress was 'giving a reading"
A moment later Mrs. Delario came in
COOlly and asked to be excused-she
had sitter and could not possibly see
monsieur this evening. OF course there
was no sitter in the seance room, but
a muff and boa on the chair beside
him conveyed the impression that
there was a caller.
Monsieur played his surprise card
instantly. Saying he would detain her
but a moment he sprung it on her that
I had told him she had the diamonds
and he had come to apologize for the
unfortunate mistake" that had been
made, and to arrange to get the stones
"as soon as convenient"
It was a bold move; but Billy and I
had taught him one thing-everything
now depended on diplomacy, and if
she denied having the stones he could
do nothing.
1t was also q bold lie-telling her l
had said she had told me; but he
failed to trip her even there: she says
she ''knew before the words were out

you must excuse me this evening
I have a sitter in the next rOom," she
said quietly, and showed him she
would not talk.
"But, madame, it is necessary Eat
we make some arrangement"
'But, monsieur" she returned, 81
cannot discuss the matter with you
now"
eff you will so kindly permit me to
wait" he began, using all his diplo-
macy-and feeling he needed it, 1
imagine!
She made a move on her own ac-
count-drawing herself up, she told
him, "After the way you treated me
last Monday-the accusations you
brought against me of rObbing your
daughter-I positively will not talk
with you for a single minute, unless
you bring her with YOU
He had not expected this demand,
but he met it with smile.
''It is well ~ he cried, determined to
humOr her to the last degree. 81 re-
turn to re hotel and bring my daugh-
ter back wis me Immediately. We will
zen await your convenience for an In

Certainly, madame-at your con

She saw him jump into waiting

rectiOn of his hotel. 1t was from there

of the house and up to me with the
diamonds. Not to let the elevator

you'll not Gomez" he asked, taking
his hat, and I detected very mixed
feelings in his question: there was a
good chance he might not see her at
all unless I went with him.
"How can I go off and leave these
things alone in the house?" I pointed
to the blue box.
At that moment the front bell
rang and I found George glued to the
button to tell me, '.Why, thez a gentle.

CHAPTER XVI.
A New Visitor.

A pretty kettle of fish! I had made
up my mind to lay the case before the
president, but then-as Billy said
ruin a young girls life! If l told
anything I'd have to tell all.
George rang. He was apologize,
but had the offish air of having re-
ceived compensation for my scolding.
"Why, that gen'Iem'n downstairs, he
says-soon as / tell him you ainf
home-he says amt you in, or, is you
out"
u told you positively that was not
at home"
"Well, / tole him that-that's why
he ask me is you not at home or is
you out? An he says fer me to go up
again with this here-"aand he thrust
sealed envelope into my hand
through the crack of the door, which
was still on the chain-bOlt.
Mechanically-as people will dc
those things without thinking of the
possible Consequences tore open
the flap and read:
"Mademoiselle de Ravenol has dis.
appeared"
That was all-no signature or any.
thing-and the paper looked like g
leaf torn from a notebook and hastily
scrubbed in pencil.
I made an exclamation and was ir
the very act of telling George, to
bring the man up at once, when the
queerest feeling came over me-intu-
ition, warning. whatever you choose
to name tia feeling of danger, and
that this was what the detectives call
plant for me. 1t was George who
recalled me to my senses by asking,
"Shall fetch him up?"
.'No- certainly not. You've already
told him I'm not at home"
'But he says-if you's out I'm to
fetch back the letter to him, an
when don't fetch it back he asks me,
amt you in, an if you amt In where's
the letter."
True-and aptly argued.
"Why didn't you tell me that in the
first placer" l demanded, wondering
at my own stupidity that hadn't seen
it myself in the first place.
Il amt think of it, said George
sullenly.

gave him my views as to the political situation throughout the country and in respect to the silence of the democratic convention and the republican platform on the prohibition question, the eight eenth amendment and the Volstead en- forcement act.
 In view of the passage by congress of the enforcement act and its sustention by the United States supreme court, MT. Hanly said ''the matter resolves itself into the election of congress favorable to the maintenance of the present law.
 Regarding the conference, Senator Harding said Mir Hanley only present. ed his views as to the construing of the platform as others have done" adding We are always glad to listen.
 Plans for officially notifying Senator Harding of his nomination were an nounced today following conference between the nominee and T. Coleman Du- pont of Delaware, chairman of the com n;ttee on arrangements for the repub- 1ican national committee, and Harry M Daugherty of Columbus, the senators manager in the pre-convention campaign
 The event will take place at 7 D. m, July 22 in Garfield Park on the outskirts of Marion with National Chairman VIII H. Hays presiding.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, per 'manent chairman of the Chicago conyen- ton and chairman of the notlncation committee. will deliver an address mo- tifying the senator of his nomination. to which the nominee will reply.

sINN FEN COURTS
 suPERsEDE GROWN TRIBUNALs

Dublin, July 9-Evidence is piling up here which seemingly would indicate that the newly organized Sim Fein courts rap idly are superseding in power the crown tribunals. A great number of cases on appeal are being withdrawn from the crown supreme court because it is stated that the litigants have little confidence in the power of that court. For the same reason it is alleged that unionists are ap- pealing to the Sim Fein lower courts. One unionist attorney is credited with saying that it was useless to take case before the. crown court and that as his client desired quick action he took the case to Sim Fein tribunal
 In many parts of the provinces Sim Feiners have taken over control of liquor selling and have issued orders to saloons regarding the hours of closing. Sim Fein pickets have been effective in stopping Sunday drinking by checking up bona iide travellers who are entitled under the law to drink. The policy of serving drinks on Sunday hitherto has been spasmodic. Now it has been made regular by code issued to license hours by which they may be open only from o'clock in the morning until at night and which prohibits the selling of liquors on Sundays or church holidays.
 Railway men who have been dismissed Tor refusing to move trains carrying po- lice or soldiers have put forward a new plea. They contend that they are act ing within the board of trade regulalion in refusing to work because of restric- tions agains tthe carrying of dangerous objects" They threaten action against the railroads for wrongful dismissal. The railway company officials, however. say that the dismissals were inevitable when the men refused to obey orders. and they repudiate the statement thatthe men were dismissed on government orders Mail trains and vans continue to be held up.
 A letter recently received by the au- thorities was from a woman to the miIi- tary officials. It requested that troons be sent to-protect loyalists The woman was haled before Sim Fein court and fined 15o pounds sterling. This she paid
 The military. which has been guarding all the roads into Dublin for the mast fay days, the same as has been the case at several sittings. is carefully examininp everyone who passes. It is reported thaf the government hopes by this close scrutiny to intercept communication be- tween the Sim Fein leaders.

URGES SENATOR HARDING
 TO SUPPORT PRoHIRITIoN

Marion, Ohio, July s.-Senator Hard ing the republican candidate for presi- dent, was urged to take firm stand in support of national prohibition i'll his speech of acceptance at a conference to- day with J. Frank Hanly, prohibition candidate for president in 1916 Later it was announced the senator had not com mitted himself regarding the matter while MT. Hanly said he hoped to be able to support him but would wait to see what the senator said in his speech"
 MT. Han4y denied that he came to Marion to present the matter to the re- publican nominee on behalf of prohibit tion advocates but that the conference was sought at his own instance As a prohibitionist the former governor of Indiana said he would find it difficult to support Governor CS adding he op- posed placing na,lonal prohibition ticket in the field this fall.

Washington. July .s-Widely diverrenf opinions as to the nations coal sfppfv were heard by the Interstate Commerce Comrission today at its hearing on the advisability of modifying its ortier.sre- quiring preference be given coal mines. east of the Mississippi. in the assiennenf of open top cars. Some witnesses said the country was experiencing the worst coal shortage in it's history, while others declared with equal fnality that there was no shortage. ., ,ss,ss5 sss
 The commission was asked both to modify it's order. originally issued for thirty day period ending July 2l, so as not to give so much of a monopoly on cars to the coal mines, and aisto to make the order more drastic and continre II for longer tha nthirty days
 Carl Jackson, a member of the W5s- consin railway commission urged tha the commission amend it's order so as to give preference to coal mines having contracts for coal to middle western states
 The movement of 1000 cars daffy te this territory must be had until NoveYfi- Der l, he asserted, '-to save the territory from freezing"
 Agents of public tfntilities. throughout the eastern half of the country, also ask ed that preferention treatment be given their companies. Their contention that a coal shortage existed was the opposite of the testimony given by George + Cushing of the American Wholesale Goa, Association. who said present production was equalling consumption.
 MT. Cushing expressed the opinion that a fair price at the mine should be Ss5o a ton. and John Moore, representing the Ohio miners. added that with an adequate car supply the cost would fall to sl

COMMUNIST TRIALS
 OPEN AT BUDAPEST

Budapest. July 7.-The long-awaited trial of Communist commissaries opened here Monday, with Dr. Peter Agoston, foreign minister during the Bela Kun ad- ministration, and nine others facing charges of murder in connection with executions The defense asked for de- lay pending the arrival of the allied di- plomats who were in Budapest during the Communist regime. The prosecutor in reply said the British government was unwilling to have it's representatives here and the United States had sent no word,
 Stephan Szanto. counsel for one of the commissaries, died of apoplexy following a dispute with the prosecutor shortly af ter the trial opened The oDening days proceedings were devoted to establishing how communism started in Hungary and the part taken in it by the Soviet gov ernment at Moscow.
 Judge Stocker. of the supreme court. who sentenced the t'Lenine boys last au- tur1n, is presiding at the trial which is being conducted according to war tribu- nal procedure. The trials are being held in the courtroom where the Communists conducted revolutionary trials.

least, was interested in the proposition of an early invasion of the west. if not Tn fact favorable to it. Charles B. Morris, the governors private secretary, telephoned from San Francisco, that he was being besieged by California deIega- tions urging that the campaign be open ed in that state. Mir Morris told the governor that California democrats are certain they can carry the state for him.
 Considerable interest no wis center ing in the conference of the national committee with the governor July 20. It has not been definitely established whether the meeting will be held at the governors home at Trails End or in Columbus, but the governor said he would wire Chairman Cummings that the plans made for the committee meeting here seemed satisfactory to him. The date and place of holding the official notification ceremonies are expected to be determined at the conference. Gov ernor Cox intimated that some time be- tween August 15 and 20 would be a sat isfactory date for the notification
 The fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt has stopped over for a twenty-four hour rest at Glenwood Springs. Colo, makes it probable that he will not reach Ohio for a conference with his running mate be- fore Monday.
 Messages continued to come in today in constant stream. The governor stated that a number were from men whom he had pardoned from the penf- tentiary and who were making good in the world"
 The governor has not found time yet to answer many of the congratulatory telegrams and letters. He said he ex- pected tonight to wire Senator Reed, of Missouri, his expression of thanks for the courteous message received from the Missouri senator.

Spe Belgium. July 9-(By the As sociated Press)-Germany today, in con formity with the unanimous decision o1 her cabinet, signed a protocol for her speedy disarmament firmly insisted up on by the allies.
 The signature was preceded by a noti- fication from pr. Simons, on behalf cf his government, that in signing the protocol Germany did not give her consent to fur which could only be given by the reich ther occupation of German territory, stag. Premier Lloyd George said he quite understood that point of view.
 The protocol was signed in a small room adjoining the conference chamber. Chancellor Fehrenbach and pr. Simons signed first After laying down the pen they bowed to Mir. Lloyd George as though saying; Well, that disagreeab.e business is fnished.''
 Asked by II. Delacroix, the Belgian premier, at the opening of the morning session, what reply the German delegates had to make regarding the disarmament protocol, Dr. Sirnons declared: ''The German delegation has decided to sign.' adding:
 Under the German constitution we have 10 power to alter the treaty and re- cognize that the protocol relates merely to it's execution and grants the Germans c-rtain delays. On the other hand, the allied threat to occupy the Ruhr or oth- CT German territory in case of non-ful- fillment of the conditions really means alteration in favor of the allies. The German delegation can find no clause il the tras-y requiring Germany to consent to such occupation except in the case of non-execution of the reparation clauses"
