CHAPTER Xxx


Two Pair.
Lady Erythea beamed. 1t seems an
impossible term to apply to that aus
tere countenance. But 1t was so.
When Georgina entered the drawing
room at noon-after nearly twenty
four hours exile In her bedroOm-she
found her alleged aunt as near to
beaming as her features permitted.
II am glad you have recovered from
your temporary lndisposition, my dear
Aimee" she said amiably. During
your absence an event has occurred,
both romantic and desirable. How sell

Georgina escaped into the garden.
1t Is possible that Aimee was right
when she said that all women are
natural actresses in time Of need.
Georgina's assumption of establishment
at hearing Lady Erythea's news was
wholly assumed, and not assumed
badly. The announcement was, in fact,
no news at all to her.
Having an excellent seuse of direc-
tion, Georgina soon discovered Mr.. AL
dxander Lambe walking on the shell,
tered paths Of the old yew garden be-
yond the chapel-at-ease. He looked
quite as relieved as Georgina. And his
eyes lit up wonderfully when he saw
her. He hurried forward to meet her.
"Mr. Lambe-l" exclaimed Georglna.
Mr.. Lambe halted, and looked deeply
panied.

flushing very attractively.
'That is better" said Mr.. Lambe
regarding her with grateful eyes
"Haye you seen your cousin?"
"Yes," said Georgina pathetically
Aimee came into my room very earl.
this morning: she told me the dreadful
thing that had happened-that your
sister had discovered her and was
going to tell Lady Erythea-and then,
when 1 was nearly frantic with terror,
Aimee explained that 1t was all right,
and Lady Diana wouldn't say word
about it. Oh, what relief it was!"
"She told you that" cried Alexan-
der, amazed. "How could she have
known? 1t was not till an hour or two
ago Diana Informed me that De Jussac
had just proposed to her, and she was
so happy-she felt she could not get
Aimee into trouble |"
Georgina stammered In confusion.
She had nearly made serious blum
der-Aimee had told no one but her
self about the encounter with the
ghost.
"She must have felt confident, I sup
pose, Of Diana's g-g-goodness OF

pleased about the engagement? / do
hope you are. 1 was afraid"

said Georgina softly.
Alexander was looking at her with
an expression that made her heart
beat.

CHECK" RUSH
EXHAUSTS POLICE
Grant Says Larger Force
Necessary to Collect for
Merchants of D. c.

If Washington merchants continue to
use the police as "a collection agency
for forged checks, Congress will have
to double the force" according to In
spector Clifford L. Grant, chief of the
detective bureau.
The number OF complaints from
merchants that forged checks had been
passed in has increased so rapidly that
virtually every man on the police force
is trying to collect the bill for the
store. The law allows a man who has
passed a worthless check five days in
which to make it good before he may
be arrested.
AS a result Of this, Inspector Grant
declares, I'VE can't go right out and
pick these men up and put them in
Jail. where they belong, but we are
obliged to give them a five-day start
or the distance between the Allan
tic and Pacific oceans--before we can
start after them in earnest.
Suggest Own Collectors.
"If Washington merchants choose
to continue accepting checks from
every Tom. Dick and Harry who
wants to buy silk shirt or pair OF
socks. they will have to take the con-
sequences or send out their own col
lectors. if they find the papers are not
negotiable.
I'VE have been doing soHe fine
work catching these check forgers,
but we have got to call halt or
employ another police force as large
as the present one and assign 1t to
the Job of collecting these bills.
Two examples of how easily Wash
ington merchants may be duped by
clever check forgers are shown in
af q n
office yesterday.
Louis Weinstein of 1898 NJ street
northwest reported that well dressed
man came into his store. bought a
suit and offered to pay $40 on de-
posit while it was being altered. He
rendered Weinstein check for $25
The tailor accepted It. gave him the
change and then discovered the paper
was worthless.
A similar experience was reported
by an employe of the H. X. Adver-
tising Company, 18th street and

cry Of court will be kept going for
a considerable time, lawyers will make
long and learned speeches, and prom
inent figures in the art and literary
world will be called upon to testify,
all for the sake of deciding whether
the well-known portrait painter, Van
Dongen, shall pay damages in the
sum of 1 franc to the cousin of the
celebrated artist, Montecelli, whom
Van Dongen is charged with having
slandered. The alleged slander was
contained in the statement that Mon
tecelli, who died in 1886, spent his
last days in poverty. In bringing the
action the painters cousin says that
he is asking only for nominal dam
ages of 1 franc because his sole desire
is to clear Montecellfs name.
