MR CORAN'S ELECTION
Ten o'clock! Big Ben left do doubt
about It; tor the giant clock la the
tower of the bouse ot parliament la a
noisy neighbor. The latt stroke tnun-
dered out as I climbed the stairs tnat
led to the modest lodging ot Inspector
Addlcfton Peace, and silence bad
fallen as I knocked at bis door. I wi
alone that eight and In tne mood
when a man escapes from himself to
aeek a friend.
I found tbe little detective at Us
open window, curing across tbe tum
bled roors to where tbe abbey towers
rose under the summer moon. Tbe
evening breeze that came creeping up
with, tbe tlfa blew gratefully after
tbe heat of the Jul? day. He glanced
at me over his shoulder wltb a abort
Dod of welcome.
"Even tbe police grow sentimental
on such a night." I suggested.
"Or philosophic."
" The reflections ot Diogenes tbe
detective, or the Aristotle ot Scotland
Tar J.' " I laughed. "May I Inquire as
to tbe cause of such profound
tboughtr
He held out a slip ot paper, which I
took and carried to tbe central lamp.
It was an old newspaper clipping,
stained and blurred, relating In six
tines bow James Coran, described as
a student, had been charged at tbe
Bow street police court with drunken
ness, followed by an aggravated as
sault on tbe constable who arrested
htm. He was fined tbree pounds or
even days. That was all.
"Not a subject ot earth-shaking Im
portance." I said.
"No; but It has proved a awtaclent
excuse for blackmail."
"Then the victim is a fool." I an
swered hotly. "Why, from tbe look of
tbe paper tbe a 3 air must have
place a dozen years ago."
"Thirty-two years this month."
"Which means that tbe riotous stu
dent Is now a man of over fifty. If
James Coran has gone down the bill,
tbe past can't hurt blm now; If be baa
ted a respectable life, surely be can
afford to neglect tbe scamp who
threatens to rake up so mild a scan
dal. Blackmail for a spree back In
tbe seventies It's ridiculous, toepeo-
tor."
The little man stood wltb his bands
behind blm and his bead on one side,
watching me with benevolent amuse
ment. When be spoke It was la tbe
ponderous manner wblcb he some
times assumed, a manner that always
reminded me of a university profes
sor explaining their deplorable errors
to fcls class.
"Mr. James Coran la a respectable
middle-class widower who Uvea wltb

four miles from London, lie arrives

ber the facts, Mr. Phillips, la consid

"Blx months ago an envelope ar
rived at his bouse wltb two lncloeurea.
One was tbe newspaper clipping yon
bold; the other a letter denouncing
blm as a hypocrite, and warning him
that unless tbe sum of twenty pounds
was placed In tbe locker of a little
summer bouse at tho end of his gar
den the writer would expose him to

a convicted drunkard.
"Coran was In despair. He had Ima

enough to do under like drcumstaa-
"la three days on Saturday, that la
Cbe election takes place. This
morning he received a letter similar
to the first, save that the demand was
for a hundred pounds. He had just
sense enough to see that If be al
lowed himself to be blackmailed again
It would merely encourage further at
tempt at extortion. 60 when be ar
rived In town, be took a cab to Scot
land Yard. I heard his story, and
caught tbe next train down to Bran
don. I did not call at the house, but
gathered a few details concerning
him and his family. In all particulars
he seems to hsre spoken tbe truth."
"Must the hundred pounds be placed
In the summer bouse tonight r
"No. Tbe blackmailer gave him a
day to collect the money. It must be
In the locker tomorrow night by eleven
o'clock."
"Which means that 70a will watch
the place and pull out the fish as he
takes the bait It seems simple
enough, anyhow."
"Oh. yea." he said. "But It la the
faulty sense of proportion In Coran
which provides tbe Interest In the
case. Even at the time the scandal
waa no very serious matter. What
must be his frame of mind that It
should terrorise htm after all these
years r
When I left htm halt an hour later
It waa with the promise that I should
have first news of the comedy's con
elusion for a tragedy It certainly was
not, save for the blackmailer. If Peace
should catch him.
The following afternoon I was sit
ting la my studio with the cigarette
that comes so pleasantly after tea and
buttered toast between my lips, when
my servant, Jacob Hendry, thrust In
bis head to announce visitors. They
came hard upon his heels a long,
gray-wlskered man In tbe lead, and
the inspector trotting behind. As they
cleared the door the little detective
twisted round bis companion and
waved aa introductory band.
"This is Mr. James Coran," be said.
"We want your assistance. Mr. PtOi-
Upa."
Tbe long man stood staring at me
and screwing his haJds together In
evident agitation. He had a hollow.
melancholy face, a weak mouth, and
eyes of an Indecisive gray, from his
square-toed shoes to the bald patch on
the top of his head he was extremely,
almost flagrantly, respectable.
"I am taking a great liberty, sir,"
he said humbly, "but you are, as It
were, a straw to one who Is sinking
beneath the waters of affliction. Do
you. by chance, know the town of
Bread on?"
"I have never been so fortunate as
to visit It," I told him.
"I anderstand from the police on
cer here that you have traveled
abroad. Accustomed, therefore, to
the corruption that taints the muni
cipal life of other cities, you can
scarcely comprehend tbe whole-souled
enthusiasm with which we of Brendoa
approach the duties, may I say the
sacred trust, of admlnlstertng to the
sanitary and moral welfare ot our
county. Those whom we select must
be of unstained reputation. From a
place on the sports committee of the
flower snow I myself have risen
through successive grades until even
the houses of parliament seemed
within the limit of legitimate ambi
tion. But now, sir, now it seems that
through a boyish Indiscretion when a
student at tbe Regent's street poly

vancing years as a roysterer. a tippler,

sir. If Horledge and Panton my oppo
nent's chief supporters In Saturday's
election are Informed of these facts,
they will mention them on platforms,
they may even display them on hoard
ings." He paused, sighed deeply, and
wiped bis face with a large silk pock
et handkerchief. The situation was
ridiculous enough, yet not without a
certain pathos underlying the humor.
for the man was sincerely In earnest
"If I can help you, Mr. Coran. I am
at your disposal." I told blm.
"It la a matter of considerable deli
cacy," be said. "My younger daugh

which la most disagreeable to me."
"Indeed," I murmured.

Innocent enough. Mr. Phillips. Will
you come with us, and lend me a

I agreed at once. It could not fall
to be an amusing adventure. Atter
some discussion, it was arranged that
Peace and I should be Introduced as
business friend of Mr. Coran, who
bad asked ua down to Brendon on a
sudden Invitation. A telegram was
sent off to that effect
For the first fifteen minutes of the
train we shared a crowded compart
ment Gradually, however, our com
panions dropped away until we were
left to ourselves. Mr. Coran was In
evident hesitation of mind. He shifted
about screwing bis bands together
with a most doleful countenance.
When be commenced to speak be
leant forward as tf arrald that tbe
very cushions might overbear him.
"I have mentioned my sister Re
becca." be said. "She Is a woman of
remarkable character."
"Indeed." I murmured, for be chose
to address me more directly.
"We have differed lately on several
points of er local Interest It Is
very Important that she should not
learn the cause of my appeal to the
police. Anything that aroused her
suspicions might lead to consequences
very disagreeable to myself."
"I wUl be discreet"
"My daughters will er benefit
largely under her will. She would cut
them out of It without hesitation If
she learnt that their father had been
connected wltb so er disgraceful a
scandal. Tou understand the situa
tion?" "Perfectly. It must render your po
sition additionally unpleasant"
He sighed and relapsed Into a mel
ancholy silence, In wblcb the train
drew up at Brendon station. A cab
was In watting. Into which we climbed.
A couple of turns, a short descent
and we drew up at a gate In a long
wall of flaming brick.
Aa we walked up tbe drive 1 looked
carefully about me. Tbe house was
also ot red brick and of mixed archi
tecture. I believe the architect bad
Intended It for the Tudor period, with
variations suggested by modern sani
tary requirements. The garden before
the windows waa of considerable size,
with laurels and quick-growing shrubs
lining tbe edge of a lawn and several
winding walks. At the farther end a
thatched roof, rising amongst the
young trees, showed the position of
the snmmer bouse which played so
Important a part In the story we bad
beard.
It was striking six as we entered
the hall. Our host led us straight to
our rooms on the first floor. We had
been told not to bring dress clothes,
so that ten minutes later we were
ready to descend to the drawing
room.
Mr. Coran's daughters, a pair ot
pretty, bright-faced girls, were seated
In those careless attitudes wblcb de
note tbe expected appearance of
strangers. Miss Kebecca, a tall, spec
tacled female, whose sixty years had
changed curves for acute angles, re
posed in tbe window, resdlng a vol
ume of majestic size. She laid It
down with a thump, removed ber
glasses and received us with great
modesty and decorum. Tbe Inspector
and a fox terrier, that set up a bark
ing as we entered, were the only mem
bers ot the party that seemed natural
and at ease.
I found the dinner pass pleasantly
enough, despite the gloom that radi
ated from tbe brother and sister.
Emily, the victim of the "unfortu
nate attachment" quite captured my
fancy though I am not a ladles' man.
Twice we dared to laugh, though the
reproving eyes of the elders were con.
stantly upon us. In the Intervals of

conversation of Peace and Mlsa Re

of meat foods will be required to com
ply strictly with the food and drug f
act as well as with the meat inspection
law. , ., 1
This action was taken on tin
strength of an opinion by Attorney ;
General McKeynolds. The three sec- ;
retaries revoked a regulation adopted ,
in October. l'.tOti. only four months af- I
..- of the wire food law,
which had prevented the department
of Agriculture, according to state
ment by Secretary Houston, "from
prosecuting manufacturers of meat
foods under the pure fo.nl law, or or
dering seizures or prosecutions for
misbranding or adulteration of domes
tic meats."
Secretary Houston said he could not
understand why meat and meat prod
ucts were not food in the sense of the
wording of the pure food and drug act.
and why his department could not scire
adulterated or misbriin.led meat once
it had entered into interstate com
merce. Therefore he had sought the
advice of the attorney general.
"Under the meat insection law."
the secretary said, "meat inspectors
have absolutely no power to seize
meat or meat food products that have
become bad or have been a.iiiiicrnico. ,
after they have left a Federally in-)
spected establishment. The only rem
edy possible under the meat act is to
proceed economically against anyone
selling bad meat, but even in this
event, bad meat cannot be seized nor
its sale prevented.

Washington. I. C.--The state rate
decisions which marked the session of
the Supreme court recently are re
garded by some as merely the begin
ning of a tight by the railroads against
low rates.
In each case where a railroad failed
to sustain its claim that the state
rates were confiscatory the Supreme
court specifically reserved the right of
I the road to begin new proceedings,
i This was true as to two roads in Min
nesota, twelve in Missouri and two in
Arkansas, where Justice Hughes said
the data on which the contention of
confiscation waa based was too general.
Whether any road can collect data be

court that proper valuations have been
arrived at is a new question.

Chicago Charles S. Cutting, for
many years judge of the Probate court
here, announced that he would resign
from the bench September 1, to re

"I im resigning because of the an
noyance of constantly recurring elec
tions," said Judge Cutting.
"A man is no longer judged on his
merits as a judge. Judges are praised
or blamed according to tho parties
they belong to. The constant worry
and annoyance of this sort of thing
has been too much for me. If it
were not for that I would gladly re

Berlin The issues of the proposed

the great German banks to desist from

the monetary pressure at home.
