Yes, Peacock Might Be
Made to Drop Feather

Former Senator Helm said ar q
Washington reception:
Bribery is everywhere. A young
lady once visited the Austin CorbiR
show place in New Hampshire. The
peacocks fascinated her, and she said
to keeper, for she thought she'd
like a souvenir:
"Do these peacocks ever drop any
of their tail feathers?'
"The keeper put his hand to his
mouth and said in a hOarse whisper:
They're obstinate devils. lady.
but they drop 'em easy enough at
sight of a quarter"

CHAPTER VII-Continued

He opened his dull eyes wide. and
II she hadn't been too excited she'd
have laughed outright at the mixture
with the despair in them of sudden
unbelievable hope.
He gave her the envelope without a
word, and she. without another glance
at either of the pair, scurried like a
rabbit into the crowd around the gate.
Just before she got to the gateman
she slipped aside, and in another Sec
ond Martin was hugging her.
Gosh, Babe, you're a peach! he
said.
But If they were to keep Rhoda's
trunk from taking an unnecessary and
perhaps embarrassing trip to New
York there wasn't any time to waste
on compliments. swat right here" he
told her, when she had given him
Max's ticket and the precious trunk
check, and darted off to find the bag
gage master.
Il want to get trunk off the limit
cdr he painted out to that official at
the end of sprint. "The young
lady's changed her mind and isn't 60
ing"
In less than ten minutes the hat
trunk with it's gummed-down lid hove
in sight having ride all by itself on
a little electric platform truck. They
wouldn't surrender it to Martin,
though. 1t would have to be unlocked
first and the contents identified. He
was glad he hadn't told them it was
his trunk. The young lady who had
changed her mind had been a useful
invention. He'd bring Rhoda round
to get it in the morning.
He found Babe getting annoyed and
under the impression that she'd been
unwarrantably abandoned, so to pacify
her he borrowed five dollars Of her
and took her into the station restau-
rant for food. His idea of the meal
had been afternoon tea but it turned
out a good deal more like a dinner.
They had telephone instrument
brought to their table so that they
could call up and tell Rhoda the good
news, but it seemed she wasn't there
to hear it.
ITS funny" Martin commented I'M
easily. Isn't she usually home by
this time? It's after six. You don't
suppose anything's happened to her,
do you?"
"Oh, don't be an old hen I" Babe ad-
monished him. "What could have
happened to herr" All the same he
could see she was as uneasy as he
was. They wasted no time about pay
ing their bill and getting a taxi.
The studio was dark when Babe un-
locked the door, and their calls
evoked no response
Something has happened to her."
Martin said, with sober conviction.
But the telephone rang just then
and enabled Babe to say as she darted
across the room to answer it, "Silly.
there she is now. Turn on the light.
will you? It's right by the door,"
"Hello!" he heard Babe saying as
he fumbled for the switch. rs that
you, Red? Well, what's the matter
with your voice? l can't hear Won.
Yes, Martins right here. Do you want
to talk to him?"
Before he could take the receiver
from Babes hand he heard her say.
''Red, what is it? What's the matter?
Where are you, anyhow" And by the
time he had crowded into her place.
the thread of communication had been
broken.
Number, please?" the operator said
when he ratified the hook. She couldn't
tell where the call they had lost had
come from.

CHAPTER TX
Some Light and More Darkness

She had expected that statement to
startle him, but she'd nowhere near
guessed what the force of the explo-
sion would be- The utter disintegra-
ton of panic that his whole appear
ance betrayed would have been ludi-
crous if it had not been revolving. His
face had gone sickly shiny yellow.
A door had opened and the man in the
blue serge suit was in the room. Eyes,
sir?" he said interrogatively.
81 didn't ring, Conley," Forster told
him without looking around. "Under-
stand now, sha'n't want you until I
ring"
1t was precisely the same phrase,
Rhoda noted, that he'd used in dis
missing the man the other time. It
was no doubt code order to station
himself at some listening post where
he could hear everything they said.
"What was it you were saying?"
Forster asked. THAT some trunk of
yours had been stolen"
EYES," she said, "my hat trunk,
while l was out at lunch. At least
think that's when 1t was. When I
went back to the studio after lunch,
about two o'clock. found it gone"
'Went home after lunch. did your"

She hadn't foreseen the question.

Severe Electrical Storm Hits
Garrett County

One of the most severe electrical
storms of the present year visited this
section last Thursday afternoon, &C
companied by high wind which up
rooted a number of trees and damaged
crops to considerable extent.
Electric current was cut off for
three hours in Oakland when lightning
struck one of the transformers at the
south edge of town, while wind and
hail were responsible for demolishing
the brick chimney on the Browning
House, Oakland; some of the hot
houses at Weber's and blowing over
trees on the property of the Misses
Miller on Second street; and on the
lawn of D. E. Offutt, Second street;
a vacant lot at the north edge of town
and a number of properties in Mt.
Lake Park.
Lightning struck the property of
William Edgar, of Mt. Lake, and cleo
trio bolts were responsible for snap
ping off large limbs from trees
throughout the community.
Rainfall during July thus far has
reached three inches, and is already
more than the rainfall during the en-
tire month last year, it having reached
only 1:91 for July of 1880.
