The telephone ben rang noisily,
and Charles turned and picked up
the receiver.
'F7ullo! Yes, Charles stuckey

He ciapred a hand over the
mouthpiece and glanced across at
!Jaequeline.

He replaced the receiver.
Hes coming to see meat IL

JScqueline. He has realized that
the games up as far as marrying
your mother is concerned, and he's
coming along with some fresh
scheme.
'<In that casa I'd better clear
out"
"You can't" interrupted Charles.
"You can't go home, and you're not
fit to go anywhere. You're all in.
The best thing you can do is to
stay here"
But if Lutman's coming
here :"
There's a room upstairs" said
Charles. There's a bed Of sorts.
I sometimes sleep there when I'm
late at the Office. It's a bit rough
and ready, but you can get some
rest, and shall want you here in

''Righto, Charles"
"Tll give a knock on the door to
let you know when I'm back"
She nodded. "But I probably
shen't hear you"
Accordingly, Charles, when he
returned from his visit to Captain
Albright, tiptoed up the stairs and
gave Nthe softest tap on Jacque-
lines door-a tap so soft that it
could not have Weakened even the
lightest sleeper. Yet instantly
came her voice.

."All o. K, Jacqueline?"
"Quite. thanks. Open the door,
please, Charles; it isn't locked"
Charles opened the door and
stood in the doorway.

There's something I want to
ask YOU"
"Well ?"
There was a pause. Then:
"rYou did know, Charles, didn't
you? About Lutman's pretty little
plot, I mean"
Charles was suddenly very CRATE
full for the darkness.

about it."

CHAPTER So

YOU SAY the $1,500.0OO was

alive?" Jacqueline asked Charles
Yes, of course" She was thought
full for a few moments, and then
went on. LAS soon as I saw that
copy of the will understood every
thing-the pretty plot to get me to
sign it all away and marry Jim
Asson. never could understand
why Colonel Lutman was so des-
perately anxious for the marriage
to come off, but understood then
suppose he was to have share
in the spoils ?"
Eyes. And so was I, Jacqueline. I"
She took no notice of that con-
1fession.
"And that's why" she continued,
when I turned Jim Asson down.
the Colonel so suddenly fell in love
with me. He did, you know,
Charles. He even asked me to
marry him."
"Lutman's a swine," said the
lawyer tersely.
HE doesn't make love very nice
ly, If that's what you mean.
He :" She made a quick ges-
ture. "And then telephoned to
you, Charles. You asked me to
call at your fat, and on my way
somebody put me out-with chloro-
form or something-and when I
woke up was on a barge on the
river with some people called Jop-
lin"
Charles nodded.
you don't seem BIT surprised,
Charles"
I'm not"
II couldn't at first understand
why Colonel Lutman had done it,"
she went on. kidnapping is a
pretty risky game, and it struck
me that to make it worth while he
must have something really big IN
view. And then suddenly realized.

that if I wasn't alive the money
was to go to my mother. IF I
wasn't alive, Charles-that's the
point. I thought 7 saw Lutmans

I'm that case," smiled Charles,
Joplin exceeded his duty. I sup
pose you were proving a bit Of
handful. and he wanted to scare
you into behaving yourself prop
erly. All I offered him was five
pounds week to take care Of you.
Listen, Jacqueiine. I'm telling you
the truth now. I did kidnap you.
I couldn't think Of any other
means Of making sure that Lutman
wouldn't find you. I knew what

They've never eeen able to get the
evidence to arrest him, but I hap
pen to know that the police believe
he's guilty Of two murders which
have never been solved, and I didn't

was to hold you somewhere and

HE did his best, Charles. And
when I couldn't be found, didn't he

II didn't give him the chance"
smiled Charles. IT went for him
before he had a chance to go for
me. I accused him of having kid
naped you, and demanded to know
where you were; I threatened to go
to the police if he didn't tell me.
He swallowed it all and had no idea
that I knew where you were and
was responsible for putting you
there. He tried to give me the inn
preston that he had hidden you
away somewhere himself SO that I
shouldn't get at you and-tell you
things. Now do you believe ne?"
"All right, Charles; / believe
you. But the next time you think

There's mother, Charles. We must
do something. She has promised
to marry Lutman."
There's nothing to be done to-

can't marry Lutman until tomor-

Taxation" said Aristotle, "is
the art of plucking from the
goose the largest amount OF
feathers with the least amount OF

who thinks of his own taxes in

prised to know that he actually
works more than two months out
of the year to pay taxes-most OF
which are hidden in the cost OF

FINAL REVISIONS


BY early September of the sig
nificant year 1887, members of the
Federal Convention meeting IN In
dependence Hall had agreed on al
most every principle that makes our
United States Constitution so sturdy
a foundation for government of the
people, by the people and for the
people.
Now the product of their delibera-
tons went to a special committee
appointed to revise the style of, and
arrange the articles which have been
agreed to by the House"
To this Committee of Revision
historians have paid high tribute. To
it they attribute much of the direct
ness, simplicity and economy of Ian
guage for which our American Con-
stitution is notable.
It was to group of distinguished
statesmen and scholars that the
Convention assigned this important
task.
Gouverneur Morris. of Pennsylva-
mia, generally accredited with writ
ing the finished report. was bril-
liant lawyer and legislator. who later
served in the United States Senate
and as Minister to France.
Other members were DR.. William
Samuel johnson. of Connecticut, a
graduate of oxford and President of
Columbia College: Alexander Hannil-
ton. of New York. soldier. lawyer,
legislator and first Secretary of the
Treasury: James Madison. of Vir-
glnla, who became our fourth Pres
ident: and Rufus King, of MasSa-
chuSettS. noted orator. who was later

and as Minister to Great Britain
The activities of the week were.
however. by no means limited to the
work of the special committee On
the Convention floor the delegates
continued to smooth out many more
or less important details.
They agreed. for example:
That patents and copyrights should
be granted Ito promote the progress
of science and the useful arts"
That the President should be
chosen by special Electors.
That "the House must originate.
but the Senate may amend. money
bills"

whose appointments are not other
wise provided for" in the COnStitt-
ton.
On the proposal that the Vice
President sit as President ex of11clo
of the Senate, interesting debate
arose.
George Mason, of Virginia, pro-
tested that the Office would be IAN
encroachment on the rights Of the
Senate; and that it mixed too much
the Legislative and the Executive,
which, as well as the Judiciary de-
partment. ought 10 be kept as Sepa-
rate as posSible.-,risJ1a s.i.1
Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts,,
offered further objection in the fear
that the plan might give the Chief
Executive too much power.
I'VE might as we'll. = he said, pat
the President himself at the head Of
the Legislature. The close intimacy
that must SubSiSt between the Pres
ident and President makes Il
absolutely improper.
To this Gouverneur Morris offered
a prompt and witty response:
The Vice President" he said.
then viii be the first heir-anparent
that ever loved his father"
With these points settled. the
Convention adjourned for a day to
await the finished report Of its
Committee Of Revision On Septem-
Der IL.

6 down on the score but edged up
to l down by the time the match
was ended and Mr.. Strunk and
Mr.. Doc had not yet figured out
how they were beaten but Mr..
Mesa can tell them very quickly.
Mr.. Old Bye Duke of Rock
Sound has been feeling pretty
good the last couple of days on
account of being a winner in the
last two matches. 1t seems that
he had John Pinder for a partner
and Bill Fripp and Roy Lade as
opponents and not counting miss
ed strokes or puts, Mr.. Sands
was on the top side of Cup score.
He says you must not pay too
much attention to the 105 score.
In another match Mr.. Duke had
Bill Fripp for a partner and they
played Grandpa Bob Showers and
Cookie Mesa and the results were
up for Mr.. Sands and Mr.. Fripp
on account of Grandpa had too
many shots out of the rough.
However, they all had good
time and when you have that who
cares who wins. But. of course.
Old Bye says it is a very comfort
ing feeling to go to bed in the
evening and know that you were
still a better golfer than a few of
your friends.
