Laidley Towers was en- fete. The
duchess, determined that every con-
ceivable stunt should be carried out
which would make for the entertain
ment of her guests, had spared no
pains to make the evening a success.
The duke, bored to extinction, had
been five times routed out of his study
by his indefatigable spouse, and was
now, at the moment Hugh first came
In sight Of the house, engaged in shak-
ing hands with a tall, aristocratic-
looking Indian. .
"How d'y do" he murmured va
cantly. "What did you say the dam
fellah's name was, my dear?' he whis-
pered in a hoarse undertone to the
duchess, who stood beside him well
coming the distinguished foreigner.
We're so glad you could come, Mr.
Ram OAR" remarked the duchess at
fably. Everyone is so looking for
ward to your wonderful entertain
ment." Round her neck were the his
toric pearls, and as the Indian bowed
low over her outstretched hand, his
eyes cleaned for a second.
1t had been the marquis Of Laidley
himself who had suggested getting
hold Of this most celebrated perform
er, who had apparently never been
in England before. And since the
marquis Of Laidley's cOming-of-age
was the cause of the whole evenings
entertainment, his suggestion had
been hailed with reclamation. How
he had heard about the Indian, and
from whom, were points about which
he was very vague; but since he was
a very vague young man, the fact
elected no comment. The main thing
was that here, In the flesh, was a

pearls till the light has burned low
In the brazier. If you do they will
disappear-never to return. Watch,
but do not touch"
Slowly he backed toward the win
dow, unperceived in the general ex-
element; and Hugh lodged rapidly
toward the car. 1t struck him that
the seance was over, and he just had
time to see darlington snatch ONE
thing which appeared to have been
let down by a string from above, be-
fore turning into the bushes and rac-

or the house party behind, waiting for
the light to burn low I'm the braziel,
he could see no sign through the
Opaque wall of green fog.
1t took five minutes, so he gathered
afterward from a member of the house
party, before the light had burned suf-
ficiently low for the duchess to con
slider it safe to touch the pearls.
In various stages of a%sphyxiation
the assembled guests had peered at
the box, while the cynical comments
Of the men were rightly treated by the
ladies with the contempt they de-
served. Was the necklace not there,
wrapped in its gold and silver tissue,
where a few minutes before there had
been nOthing2
"SOme trick Of hat beastly light"
remarked the duke peevishly. "For
heavens sake throw the dam thing
out of the window"
"DoL't be a fool, john" retorted
his spouse. "f you could do this sort
Of thing, the house Of lords might
be some use to somebody"
When two minutes later they stared
hOrror-struck at a row Of ordinary
marbles laboriously u~nwrapped from
q piece Of gold and silver tissue, the
dukes pungent agreement with his
wife's sentiment passed u%ncontra-
dicted. In fact, 1t Is to be understood
that over the scene which followed 1t
was best to draw a decent veil.

Which, incidentally, was no more
than the truth.

"~Supposlng you took my pearls, Mr..
Ram Oar" said the duchess difident-
~. Il know that compared to such
historic jewels they are poor, but per-
haps 1t would not be sacrilege."
Not a muscle on Lakington's face
twitched, though it was the thing he
a been playing for. Instead he
seemed to be sunk in thought, while
the duchess continued pleading, and
the rest of the party added their en-
treaties. Then, as If he had decided
suddenly, he swung round.
Il will try" he announced briefly,
and the duchess headed the chorus OF
delight. "Will the Presences stand

then she stood waiting for further in

But apparently by this time the
Great Breeding Spirit was beginning
to take effect. Singing a monOtonous,
harsh chant. the Indian knelt on the
floor, and poured some powder into
a little braZier. He was still close
to the open window, and finally he sat
down with his elbows on his knees,
and his head rocking to and fro in
his hands.

seemed to come from a great distance

spluttering flame rose from the brazier.
A heavy. odorOus smoke filed the
room, but framed and motionless in

fixedly in front Of him. After a time
the chant began again; 1t grew and
swelled in volume till the singer grew
frenZied and beat his head with his
hands. Then abruptly it stopped.

ordered, 'in the light of the Sacred

down on the opposite side Of the
b~razier, and place the box on the floor,
while the faces Of the guests-strange
and ghostly in the great ~light-peered
like specters out of the heavy smoke.
This was undoubtedly q show worth
watching.
"Open the box! !" Harshly the words
rang through the silent room, al d with
fingers that trembled a little the iuch-
ess turned the key and threw back
the lid.
"Why, it's empty !" she criea In
amazement, and the guests craned for
ward to look.

the Indian in sudden warning, "or per-
chance it will remain empty"
The duchess rapidly withdrew her
hand, and stared incredulously through
the smoke at his impassive fa<e.

BANK SEEKS TO RECOVER
: MONEY LOST ON COTTON

Washington, Sept. ga petition
was filed today with the supreme
court asking the review of the case
in which the receiver of the Mer-
camille Bank of Memphis, Tenn,
sought to L., recover from Hubbard
Brothers and company of New York,
100000 alleged to have been paid
that firm by Hunter Raine in cotton
speculations.
Raine was president of the bank
in 1912, and When he failed in Feb
ruary, 1914, his accounts were al
legged to have been overdrawn ap-
proximately $1,O0O,Ooo. The United
States district and circuit court of
appeals at New York City decided
against the receiver, the former on
grounds he had proved no cause of
action and the latter because he was
without legal capacity to sue.

Mail Letters in Country to Help Dem.

Owensboro, KY, Sept. 29.-Mrs.
John Gilmour, Republican postmis-
tress here, says the Democrats must
cease mailing letters to voters from
the country postoffices. Paul Mat
tingly, chairman of the Democratic
campaign : committee for Davies
county, says that there is no law
that can tell him where he may or
may not post letters. He is mailing
the letters, he says, at the country
Office for the purpose of helping the
Democratic postmasters, their re-
numeratiop being based on caneella-
ton Of stamps in their Offices.
Today, adherents of both parties
are talking about Mrs. Gilmour's
