Instead of the usual array Of sub
debs, tea hounds. and F street
beaux and bellies, the lounges
were filled with Klanswomen and
Klansmen. Many of the women,
tired from their journey to the
Capital, stretched out on the lux

asleep.

loungers.
The colored porters, who seem
ingly had increased in number
for the event, had little to do.
They ran eagerly to each train
as it arrived, and solicited for
baggage, but seldom did one get
a load.
Many Klansmen and many
more Klanswomen were seen to
draw their baggage sharply away
from the touch of these indie
fatigable gentlemen.
Eating formed one of the most
important things this morning
upon the arrival of the Klansmen
and their families. The restau.
rant at Union Station was over
crowded and the universal inquiry
was, Where and when do we
eat?''
Nearly all OF the women and
many of the men carried satcheIs,
evidently containing food as well
as clothing, and these marched
outside the station and then wait.

The much talked Of music for
the parade, which no one seems
to know much about, was cleared
up some today when a Klansman
declared that each Khan that
could possibly do so was to bring
it's own music. Members of three
different musical organizations
were present today and snatches
of hymns mingled with the latest
song hits floated over the camp.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COTT TO RUTH BURKEI CON-
TINUEp
We turned back from the open
window and the sight of the bloody
newell post turned our thoughts to
zoe's absence.
simultaneously we both rushed up
the stairs. gong in again to Zoe's
room and Jack passing on down the
hall to Syds.
1t seemed but a moment when we
again confronted each other in the
hallway.
sgd is not there" Jack told me.
Neither is Zoe" I exclaimed.
And that's all we know about it
up tc date, Ruth. I know now that
it was sgd who passed me in the
hall, but whether he found Zoe at
the foot of the stairs or whether he
encountered a burglar there and 1t
was his blood on the post, we do not
know.
The police, of course, arrived and
seemed quite up in the air. Jack is
furious at them, because they seem
to suspect both Zoe and sgd OF steal
ing my pearls.
Ruth, 1 have not yet dared to tell
Jack about Zoe, but it is all very
mysterious to me. Jack says he

sgd and disposed Of the body some
where, he would have heard from
him before this.
OF course, Benson and Dawson, the
chauffeur, were questioned very
closely and | must say that Dawson
appeared to be very much mixed up.
Jacks theory is that Dawson in
some way forced Zoe to open the
safe for him and then knowing that
Zoe recognized him, started to carry
her toward the automobile when he
encountered. Sydney. whom he
murdered.
He is not sure if Zoe is murdered
or not. Having deposited his two
victims with his accomplices in the
car, he hurried to his quarters and
pretended to be asleep when Benson
found him.
This theory seems perfectly wild
those the detectives give. Goodness
knows Sydney Carton would be the
last man that would want to steal
my pearls and Notwithstanding all
mother wrote to me about Zoe, l
would trust her again with my
babies. which as you know mean
more to me than any jewels in the
world.
Doesn't 1t seem strange, Ruth,
that this thing could have been done

could get away? Until now have
always thought that these detectives
were Pigments of an added brain,
but after this I shall have more re.
spect for them. Probably their
authors had some sort of basis Of
fact upon which to write them.
This letter is reams long, realize,
but had to tell you the whole story.
And now that I have finished telling
you all that we know so far, l find
that I am getting sleepy. 1t is noon
and I haven't slept since I heard
that scream. You may be sure that
will keep you posted by wire or
letter, and you must tell me at least
once day how Walter is getting on.
