Waters was the next speaker He
began on THE Development OF the
Constitution" in a light tone, and once
having his audience within his ora
torical grasp, he lifted his tones to
volume that doomed out across the
heads of the audience to spend ITS
power on the distant walls. He dropped
his voice again, however, and lifted Its
power later, only to give emphasis to
his oratory. Waters spoke for 8 minutes

control, which represented a years i'm

Digges undertook difficult task In
his speech when he appealed to his
audience to view with him an i'm

William Wilroy of the Lackey High
School of Indian Head next took the
stage to talk for exactly 8 minutes
upon the same subject which had
opened the meet. Wilroy stood with his
hands clasped behind his back during
his entire speech, while he gave variety
to his general posture by moving a few
PAGES to the right or to the left at
intervals. His voice was strong and his
tension was fairly high, while his seri-

characterized by deep frowns.

sound of sobbing continued. The white
light from the lens at hand fell out
into the darker end of the room, and

her eyes covered with handkerchief
She understood; scenes had been made
of John for his mother.

She made an unfamiliar turning.
and opened door into an unlighted
hall. Seeing that it was short, with
another door opposite, she slipped in
But the moment the door behind her
swung shut and latched, she became
uneasy, for the darkness was complete
She turned at once and tried then to
return-but the door she had passed
through was locked! She understood
after an instant that she must have
stepped into a service hall or an ap-
proach to fire-escape stairs. She felt
her way down the short length of hall
and tried the farther door. She was
not surprised to find this also locked
But presently she found the foot of
an ascending stair. It could lead only

up. She was making the turning at
the first landing when she heard door
close softly in the hallway above her
and a voice came quickly down to her
with the hollow distinctness of tones
In whispering gallery.
Ssh! He didn't see us! Waltz"
Phyllis paused involuntarily, warned
to silence by the flavor of secrecy. For
long moment she heard no more.
Then there was little stir of feet,
guarded, soft.
HE went into the studio Lucky we
didn't get in there first!"
1t was woman's voice. Phyllis had
stumbled upon intrigue.

But how do you know" began the
man slowly, that Brainard wants this
thing enough TOTO matter?"
Ballard found him out" said the
other. And I haven't watched him
now for weeks for nothing"
Phyllis mind leaped to conclusion.
This woman had watched him for a

one? She did not analyze her selection
between the two women who most in

not doubt that she was right.
The pair In the hallway above were
silent for a time. Then the girl spoke
again.

''He may spring the latch again on
the door,
He may. But he hasn't noticed
that it didn't lock when he closed it In

They were still again as If listening.
Then Phyllis heard the door open. She
took three quick upward steps and

She ran hastily UP the stairs. She
found the upper door locked, as the
lower one had been. AS she hesitated,
she heard steps of some one passing
outside. She Knocked on the door. It
opened, and young Rex yelling looked
inquiringly into her face as she stepped

He bowed and went on through the
