known The dancing began and tn
J various dances gone through, squar
and fancy. After several dances Mis-
Willesta excused herself and turne,
him over to another young woman
who was very beautiful. She cues
toned Spencer about his life ano
where he came from.
1 Dancing ceased for while, win,
was passed around and Spencer's com
panion urged him to drink with her
He insisted that he did not drink but
at last consented to one goblet. Hel
manner began to dawn on him. She
became very pronounced in her admi
ration for him. Before he could pre-.
vent it she threw her arms around his
neck. He gently pushed her away
thinking maybe the wine had gone te
her head. The others had been TAKING
! it freely. Miss Willesta did not re.
! turn. What did it mean? Here was
temptation, pretty women, wine and
music. There was something rotten
At the thought of Winnie he clenched
his hands and demanded to know if
this was society's ways. About that
instant there was scuffie, the lights
went out and everything was in dark
ness. The woman grabbed him and
chung to him. Doors slammed. then
the lights went on and Spencer saw
before him several policemen who said
he was under arrest. He was dumb
founded. But to no use. He and the
woman must come along. The police
searched the house but found no enc
else. The rest had escaped Spencer
and his companion were taken to tie
station house to have a hearing next
day Spencer felt Inundated beyond
description, that he should be caught
in such a trap as he was in. He could
see through the whole thing. He sent
word to his friend, the Senator. What
would Winnie think? What effect
would it have on his bill? Who would
have thought it of her? Next morn

in large head line, "Mr. Hal Spencer
from Montana, Electrical and Mining
Engineer who has the Appropriation
BIZ before the Senate, calling for a
large sum of money to build an cleo
trio smelter, the government to sup
ply the funds, was caught in raid at
a fashionable resort of Madam Zona's
last night. All the guests escaped ex-
cept Mr.. Spencer and his companion
who was in a semi-intoxicated condi-
ton. The police were notified by a
pretty young woman who said that
Spencer took her there and tried to
rob her of her jewlery. The police
found the lights turned out when en-
tering the room where Mr.. Spencer
and his companion were captured. In
view of these facts shall our govern
ment stoop so low as to appropriate
money in the interest of such a man
as Spencer? Beware Senators, the
public does not forget"
Bail was furnished by the Senator
for Spencer and the woman was re-
leased on bail, furnished by man
whom Spencer thought looked like
Ellyer. Being released he went with
the Senator to the Secret Service
Bureau. The Chief of the service had
telephoned that he wanted to see Spen-
Ger. 1t appears that unbeknown to
him a man had followed him and Miss
Willesta to the house, taking the num-
Der and awaited developments. When
the raid was made this man had ex-
amined the house but found it empty
except an old darby wench who said

been rented furnished by the hostess.
Madame Rosa, the owner, was notified.
At the Secret Service Bureau Spen-
Ger was questioned and told to relate

present. Having done so, the chief
said that he need not worry about
what was in the papers as they were
wise to a few things, and the Attorney
Generals office wanted the informal
ton. Miss Willesta never re-appeared.
Things were left in her rooms. That
afternoon the evening papers came

Spencer from Montana had been the
victim of conspiracy and the Secret
