Despite jibes and jests about the

foreseen happens. Mr.. Hopkins will
be confirmed in his new office. But
Mr.. Hopkins and his administration
Of the w. P. A., and his qualifica-
tions for heading the Department
OF Commerce will be subjects of a
lot OF conversation in the Senate
before ever vote Is taken.
Judging by the vote taken in the
committee on commerce, which
ordered Mr.. Hopkins name favor
ably reported to the Senate, the
Republicans will vote against con-
firmation in the Senate itself. All
six of the minority members of the
committee opposed Mr.. Hopkins in
the committee vote. There may be
one or two exceptions when the vote
is cast In the Senate-but generally
speaking the G.. o. P. members, %
in all, are expected to oppose con-
f1rmation.
No caucus action has been taken
by the Republicans to bind them
selves to vote against Mr.. Hopkins
But the Republicans have generally
agreed that they will not vote to
confirm a man whose administra-
ton failed to keep politics out of
relief. That is the story they will
tell not only in the Senate itself,
but outside.
Purge Attempt Recalled.
1t is expected that half a dozen
votes will be cast against Mr.. Hop
kins by Democratic Senator'S
though the vast majority of them
will vote for him. Some of the
Democrats have announced that
while they do not consider the ap-
pointment good one. they are in
clined to believe that the President
has right to place men of his own
choice in his cabinet. Therefore,
they will vote for Mr.. Hopkins con-
flrmation. Some of the Democrats
may speak against Mr.. Hopkins.
Some of them feel that his organi-
zation was used in the Presidents
attempted purge" of Democratic
Senators who opposed him on his
court bill. Some of them will recall
that Mr.. Hopkins himself stepped
out with statement he would vote
for former Representative Wearin
against Senator Gillette in the Iowa
Democratic senatorial primary last
spring, even though Mr.. Gillette is
himself inclined to let bygones be
bygones.
In some quarters Mr.. Hopkins is
still spoken of as possible Demo-
cratic nominee for President in 1910
that his job as Secretary of Com
merce is to be the springboard
which will take him into the next
Democratic National Convention as
a winner. The coming debate in
the Senate, however, is not likely
to encourage this idea.
The President has another nomi-
nation waiting for Senate approval
that has already stirred up heated
row-the nomination of Floyd H.
Roberts Of Bristol, Va, to be United
States judge for the Western dis
trict of Virginia. This nomination
is now in the hands of a subcom-

We had gay hour on the raft.
Orion, who at first stuck close to
Josie, decided he had had enough.
He swan to shore and Josie went
with him. Then we four sat down
on the raft edge and seriously con-
sidered the mystery of Hill House.
We talked and talked, and the
more we said the more puzzled we
became.
why don't you call in the police,
Neal?" asked Duncan. IF the three
things, the prowling, poisoning and
ransacking Of Josie's room are the
work of one person, they certainly
must have a definite object in view.
In that case you can't foresee what
they will do next. / think you
should have someone here who can
find out what is going on and give
you protection if you need it."

son-and get into trouble. And if
you did tell them, the most of them
would pack up and leave at once.
I tell you, Neal, the only sensible
thing is to call in the police"
perhaps you're right" Neal
conceded. But I can't do that un-
less Paul agrees"
"Then leave the poisoning of
Mrs. Rutherford out of it," urged
Duncan. Tell them about the
proWler and Josie's room. They'll
set trap and catch the one re-
sponsible before any more harm is
done"
Il think Josie should have the
deciding VOTE" I remarked firmly.
after all, it is her room which
was searched"
AS I spoke Neal stood up on the
raft, glanced down at me, then
looked around. I followed suit. I
supposed he intended to call Josie.
She was on the beach conversing
with fne-looking young fellow.
Neal emitted an unintelligible
grunt and dived off the raft.
JOSIE" he yelled as he came to the
surface and started at top speed for
the shore.
Josie looked around at Meals

beach. The stranger went with her.
Let us go. too." Rhoda sug-
gested.
By the time we reached the
shore, Josie and the young fellow
were some distance up the beach
with Neal striding purposefully in
pursuit.
Josie, come back here" 1 heard
him yell as shook the water from
my ears.
Leisurely Josie turned back to
meet Neal and the stranger went
on alone.

lips held their angry pout.
