of value out of all proportion to the
price asked.
It'll take It," he said, and paid down
the money. There was momentary
darkening Of Gardeners face which
nobody noticed.
The little party then moved out to
the street. Gardiner had regained his
smooth manner, and gave some final
directions about the road
"Oh, we'll find 1t all right" said
Allan, in high spirits, "and we'll beat
you to the shanty unless you've some

you driving. So long,"

long, and good luck
$50 long, an good luck" repeated
Rifles. He was trying to play the game,
but, as Gardiner often reminded him,
he had no imagination. 1t would have
been quite impossible for Rifles. on his
own initiative. to have thought of
wishing the Harrlses good luck" on
the journey they were about to CON-
mence. {. They were interesting
types of villains-one, gentlemanly
suave deep and resourceful; the other
coarse, shallow, slOw-witted and brutal
The offense of one against society was
wholly intellectual; of the other, al.
most wholly physical. Gardiner fully
appreciated the difference, and in his
heart he felt contempt and lOathing
toward Rifles which he concealed only
us matter Of policy. And he had
worked out In his mind little plan
by which Rifles. when his usefulness
was ended, should be shufiled off with.
out any share In the booty. At pres.
'ent he tolerated him because of neces.
sity. There was work before them for
which Rifles was peculiarly qualified.
The Harrises went at once to liv-
cry stable, where they arranged for q
team and outfit. They then bought
some cartridges for the gun, and a
small handbag In which to carry the
money.
When Harris presented himself al
the bank wicket and asked for the full
amount to his credit in cash, the sal
low-faced teller turned a trifie palel
still and slipped into the managers
office. A moment later the manager
himself appeared before them.
''rhat's pretty heavy order on o
country bank. Mr.. Harris. OF course
we could give 1t to you in exchange
but to pay twenty thousand dollars Oh
thereabouts In bills will drain us to al
most our last dollar. Can't you use 9

bank?"

"No, l mean that We'll come through
and they'll come after US. My idea
Is not to take any chances, but to sell
the property, or as good as sell 1t, be-
fore we buy it. So sent a govern
ment report on 1t to this syndicate, as
heard they were looking out for coal
lands in the West. and l just took the
liberty of offering it to them for
cool quarter of a million, and gave
them until tonight to accept or refuse,
by wire. I'm little anxious for an
answer, although If they don't take it
others will. You see, the old fellow
that owns it simply hasn't any idea
what it's worth He has lived in the
hills until he looks like one of 'em,
and a satchelful of money in real bills
will simply dazzle him. A check
wouldn't serve the purpose; he'd be
suspicious of it, and he'd come down
to investigate, and some one would be
sure to crimp our deal"
"And suppose l don't like the look
Of the mine when l see it?'
"Then you bring your money back
down with you and put it into farm
lands, or anything else that takes
your fancy. After you look it over, If
you don't want to go In on it. Mr.. Har-
ris, perhaps Rifles and can raise
enough ourselves to swing the deal,
but you see we thought Of you from
the first. and we will stay with our
original plan until you have chance
to decide one way or another"
"Well, that sounds fair" said Allan,
and his father nodded. "But we
haven't sold the farm, and until we
do l guess there isn't much money in
sight"
''Bradshaw'u sell the farm quick
enough If I send him word" his ia.
Their assured him. "He may not get II
all in money, but he'll get a good part
of 1t, and he has ways O. raisin' the
balance so longs the security is good
I've half a mind t wire him t. close
'er out"
At this moment there came a knock
on the door, and boy presented 0
telegram for Gardiner. He opened
1t, read it, and emitted whooI
like wild Indian. They're coming
through" he shouted, ''comint
through! How does half Of two hun
bred and fifty thousand dollars lool

Harris reached out eagerly for tn,
telegram, while Allan, his arm thrown
over his fathers shoulder, read it Ii
boyish excitement:
"If investigation confirms govern
ment reports we will pay two hundred
fifty thousand. Our representativ,
leaves at once for personal interview
The name at the end of the tele
gram was unknown to either Harri
or his son, but Gardiner assured then
1t was one to cOnjure with in tn
financial world. Riles' excitement wa
scarcely less than Allan's. Caroline

Even Rifles did not know that tn
telegram had been written a few
doors down the street by stoutisl

"Where's some paper7" asked Allan.

Gardiner produced notebook and,
at Harris dictation, drafted tele-

the lines Of the instructions already
given him. He was to cash the

Maj. Bruce R. Campbell of the
United States army told house in
vestigating committee that not sim
gle penny of the $500 placed by him
with Wall street firm for stock mar
ket trading last year was received
from the Bergdoll family. Flatly de-
nying the charge by Mrs. Emma @.

been paid $1,000 to aid in obtaining
freedom for Grover Cleveland Berg
doll, her draft-dodging son, Major
Campbell declared that the sum sent
to the brokers was his own money,
hidden by his wife at her home since
the early days Of the war.
The major asserted that fright
full" injustice had been done him by
the committee in permitting Mrs. Berg
doll and representative Of the brok-
ers to testify when he was not present.
At various times, Major Campbell de-
clared, he and his wife had $4,000 on

What's the Senate Quorum?

Senator Walsh Of Montana (por-

the other day in the senate; what
constitutes quorum of the senate.
The occasion was this: Senator VOL
colt of Delaware had resigned, his
successor had not been appointed, and
the president of the senate had ruled
that as the senate consisted Of but 95
members, 48 constituted majority
(quorum). Senator Walsh argued that
the decision was inviolation of the Con-
stitution, which provided that a ma
jorlty was more than half Of a SEN
ate of full strength. Senator Lodge
Of Massachusetts, after considerable
debating, produced the action of the
senate on October IL. 1893:

JOBS, EASY
/ ON THE EYES, Open.
At TIDAL BASIN
Gordon Lesch Wants Judges to
Look EN- Over Carefully
on July 80.

l.. Gordon Leech, manager Of the
Tidal Basin bathing beach, has five
first-class jobs to offer. Leech, as
well as hundreds Of men in the Dis
trict, think the jobs are good ones.
There have been many applications
for the jobs. They pay nothing. The
hours are short. the work 10 pleasant,
not hard on the eyes nor arduous.
Despite the fact that no pay IL con-
nected with the work there IL a mad
scramble for the five Jobs, which will
be snapped up eagerly. Many men
have already applied for the positions
with Leech. He may doublecross the
men and give the jobs TO women, h4
says, because women may fill the blu
just AS well as men.
And all because the annual beauty
contest will be held at the Tidal Basin
bathing beach on the afternoon OF
July 80, there are many applications
for hte positions Of judges Manager
Leech Is looking for five judges. They
must be artists or art critics. II you
think you are an artist, admit II, in
other words, there's a job open for
you on July 30. See Gordon Leech.
The announcement OF the beauty
contest has brought many queries on
the matter of costumes. Leech states
that the beach regulations must be
followed. These were printed some
time ago for the bathing beach bath
ers. The suits. many of them home
made, must he two-piece affairs, must
come within six inches OF the knee
and must not be lower than a line
across the body at the arm pits.
Last year, there were eighty-line
contestants in the contest. Washing
toms prettiest bathing girls turned
out in force. This year more than 100
have already asked about the contest
and the date.
The judges will probably be an
nounced on Sunday. In the remaining
time 1t Is expected that Washington

jump hundreds in percentage.
