The attendants had melted away: a
single glance from Hargrave had sent
them in other directions. He turned
to Violet.
"Is this true?" he asked.
"Yes." she faltered.
''In that case" Hargrave said, with
a horrible and unnatural calm, Il
withdraw my interference. You had
better get the cOmmissionaire to put
you into a vOiture."
She cried out something's tangle
of words which stabbed at his heart
through the darkness as he crossed
the pavement. He took his place by
the princess side and waved to the
chauffeur TO proceed.

she drew aside her sables to make
room for him-"you have given way"

Hargrave. as an hour later his car
turned in at the winding approach to
the villa, raised his eyes involuntarily
to the window Of Niolet's room. There
was no light there, no sign of that
vigil to which she had confessed.
From long established custom no
one was permitted to sit up for him,
and inside as well as out the villa was
as silent as the grave. More from
habit than from anything else. he lin
gered for a few minutes in the salon,
mixed himself whisky and soda, and
lit cigarette. Afterward he
mounted the smoothly polished stairs
and made his way to his own room.
Even there he felt no desire for rest.
He stepped out on to the balcony,
only to find as it We're the whole
world in melancholy attune with his
own sadness. The Expresses border

blacllly to a lowering sky. Even the
soothing placidity Of the sea was dis

He turned back into the room, clos
ing the window behind him, and lin
gered for q moment looking into the
mirror before he commenced to un-
dress. There was vein of humiliation
depressing him. mingled with that
deeper sadness which he refused alto
gether to analyze. With his years and
experience, to have been so easily
duped: worse still, to have cherished
even for a moment that absurd and
yet amazing dream. The idea, i'm
mea surably bitter vet also curiously
sweet, tortured him, that in these,
perhaps the closing months of his life,
there should have come something

 ASK CONCESSIONS
Uncle Sam Hearing Requests
 From Every Side

Washington, March 25 tp-Near- ly all of Uncle sam's territories and dependencies are knocking at the doors Of congress demanding one form Of political concession or another.
 From the Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, and the Nir- gin Islands have come communca- tions ranging from petitions for a simple change in the present form of civil government to requests for absolute independence.
 For the first time citizens Of the Virgin Islands came this year be- fore a committee of congress to picture restlessness in the islands and ask for reorganization of the island government.
 The delegates to congress from Hawaii and Alaska have intro- duced bills 10 give their respective electorates the power to choose their own governor generals. In addition, Hawaii wants a readjust- ment of the immigration laws as applied 70 Hawaiians of Oriental extraction.
 The demands of the Philippines and Porto Rico have been the most insistent of all. The Porto Ricans now seem 10 have put aside the idea Of independence. so in- tense two years ago, and are ask ing for the privilege Of electing their own governor from 1882 on, with statehood as their goal. Many influential groups in the Philip pines, on the other hand, are as ardent as ever for independence.
 It is certain that very few Of these petitions will be granted, at least at the present session of con- gross.
