the very integrity OF her calling.
Bill, still breathlees and pretty
tired, did venture rather forlornly
suggestion that they revert 10
their status as babes in the woods
behind some clump Of bushes and
hope that uncle wouldn't be able TO
find them, But she, standing very
stlll, with eyes half shut and knot
between her broWs, accorded this
plan no more than a curt shake OF
the head and a relenting pat upon
his shoulder, But she went on
thinking aloud.

The Princess waited to hear no
more. with a gasp she burst out of
her telephone booth and sped down
the corridor. She had forgotten
her panic, her plans, the impulse
that had sent her into that booth
to summon her own faithful retain.

veying an appearance OF haste. II
took all her self-control te keep
from breaking into run.
The panic receded a little. how.
ever, as she walked along Nobody
actually followed her very far. Ce'-
tainly they were nor coagulatina
around her in a mob. and by tho
time she had attained the qualified
haven OF the great central COrrl-
dor and dropped down limp upon
one of its benches she was sufi-
Ciently in possession of herself
once more to remember Bill-Bill,
who was patiently and angiously
awaiting her return TO their hiding
place in the shrubbery What was
she going to do about him? She
did not even then entertain so much
as a momentary idea otabsndoning
him. But she did realize the com
plete impracticability of ner earlier
programme; and she wanted, in
tensely and poignantly she wanted,
to recover. for his benefit as well
as for her own, her hedges, her
pedestal, her place.
A battery of telephone booths
across the corridor caught her eye.
That was the thing to do, OF course
call up the hotel and have them
send down car for her with Miss
Smith or someone I'm It; pick up the
boy; take him back TO the hotel;

TO work out the details any farther
she briskly crossed the corridor aud
entered the nearest booth.
What checked her was the sight
OF row Of coin slots across the
top of the instrument and the
realization that she had no money
at all not even the humble nickel
that It required to attract the Oper-
ators attention. She felt herself
going rather limp again and leaned
back against the partition wall.
And then a voice galvanized her
into instant alertness once more,
II was the foreign.sounding voice

the wicked uncles voice, beyond
the slightest possibility Of doubt.
He was talking English now, labor

Homo Problem Of Members.

t" live in. Washington Is the highest
priced city in the country. Property
and rents are high. If man Is there
alone he can live ut Il hotel. II he has
family lie must have house or an
apartment. The hotels are high priced.
The houses and flats are out of sight.
What members pay for houses of
course depends upon what they get
and want TO pay. Several members
pay $500 year rent. and quite a
number pay from 5000 to 5000. OF
course they do not live on their
salaries. They get something from
back home. The members who try
to live on their salaries. or nearly so,
pay from $3.50 to $3.50 a month for
furnished house. And you don't
get as much In Washington for $500
a month as you can get in Colorado
cities for $50.
Within the moderate prices. houses
