"Asatha," she said when that ancient damsel stood visibly ; trembling before her, "I've stood ; a good deal from you first and i lastj But now that you're snoop Ing around has, ended in your ; finding; out something which i might do barm. I'm going I to take a hand. You march il$nt '; bacl( with me to Katie's room, andjyou leave it again' only over ray dead body until Mrs. Under wood gives the word. r Now march!" like sniff, marched.. "I hate to miss the shindig." my. mother-in-law said to Lillian as she prepared to follow her rac reant kinswoman, "hut I guess I'll be of more use this vay." "I take oil my bejrt : hapoaiX "o that old lady." Lillian re marked, -when she was out of hearing. "And I'm so relieved hat she isn't to be in at the fi nal round-up. We have enough o do without tailing care of non combatana." "I wonder what Kato will do," I remarked to hide my sensitive consciousness that a non-combatant was what I would be reck oned. ' "Go straight to Harry as soon as he gets a chance," Lilliaa re plied, and there was bitterness in her voice. "But Drake has some thing up his sleeve for Kato, and that reminds me. he wants vou to come over there, partly, I imagine, to see him spring it. Drake isn't without a little mascu line vanity. I suspect, and not particularly averse to showing off a bit before yott. So as I carit leave here, and someone must be there, you'll have to go. I'll keep Allis busy in the kitchen while you slip out the aide door. And don't come back until I send Wil liam for you." I obeyed her without question.

Dr. B. W. Sonshas Dr. V. A. rttzcerald Dr. D. M. Ogd.an Sttt K Commercial Sta, Sclera, Or. and Allen Drake smoking com fortably in the library. I , barely had a chance to tell them of Kato's discovery of the hidden paper, when the Asiatic's deferential knock was heard at the door. Allen Drake quickly rose and placed himself in such a position that the servant wouldn't see him until he was well within the rom. "I like so out a little while," Kato began, and thea Allen Drake reached out a slender but sinewy hand, grasped him by the jacket collar, and turned Kato around until he faced him. Then was that stolid face con torted with a most 'terrible fear, fear that I realized had its roots in something beyond ordinary un derstanding. Mr. Drake held him taut for two cr three long min utes, silently razing at him. Then he spoke rapidly in a jargon tin intellisle to. us, but which Kato evidently well understood. At the end Mr. Drake asked two or tbree short, sharp questions," which the Asiatic answered sub missively. Then Mr. Drake led him to the door, took his hand from the other's collar, and deft ly, forcibly kicked him into the corridor and closed the door. A Flashlight's Rays. "He's our man now, body and soul." he said, a little mocking light of triumph in his eyes, and dusting his hands with his hand kerchief as if he had touched something unclean. "Because of something that happened years ago wben he was with me, he be lieves in bis superstitious soul that I am in league with the dev il, and can bring down all sorts of torments upon his devoted head. ' So he will obey me implic itly. He has gone to his employ ers now with the instructions to bring them here Tomorrow night at a half hour pait midnight, and when he comes back here I will Instruct him Ju:t bow to get them all in the house. In every detail they iwill dance like puppets at our bidding." The'prophecy came back to me th next night after midnight, when. I stood tense in the little al cove off my mother-in-law's room, the heavy curtains shrouding it ! in darkness. Lillian had placed me there with the injunction to Ttatch the stairway from the li bra rv. although we had recovered the keys and both dooru were locked. I knew that it wa a sub terfuge to get me out of the way ot thei real danger, but I was thankful to be even an onlooker at. the drama which was about to be staged. . We had managed that . Kato should see the Chinese vase brought ; back to my mother-ln- law's room, for it afforded those of ns in the house better hiding places. And In those hiding plac es my father, enfeebled physically hut a deadly marksman; Allen Drake with the switch or the elee Hv lirhts removed and in his hand: Dr. Pettit, two stocky guards, the most trusted Lillian could get. and Lillian herself waited to spring the trap. "I'll take personal charge of Grace Draper," sb had promised grimly. "I'm afraid the rest of you might be a litUe too chival rous." It was exactly half-pa.;t twelve vhen we beard tho siight riuff ling upon the stair j whic.i told us that according to onr own plan Mrs. Allis had admitted the con spirators throun a side wincow concealed by the sbrubbarr. and that Kato was br'.ngins tlwm up the front stairs to th? room In moher minut K.ito himself, evi dently sent ahead, was casting the rays ot nashlight over the room, his face as imperturbable as if he didn't know of the watch ers concealed there, , Voices From The Dark. "Just what I say," he assured someuue in the ucorway. "Two -old women with sick girl, way back in house, other missee go home, young missee sleep, I fix houseboy. Nobody here. All sleep." "By houseboy I guess you mean that old ape with the wen on his forhead." Grace Draper's low but clear tones sounded amusedly. "All right. The better for you; And here. I suppose, is dear lit tle Madgie's treasure house. It's a wonder she didn't take it to bed with her." "If I might suggest," a low voice, with a hint of authority and more than a hint of Teutonic ancestry,-said ironically, "a little less voice and more work." Another voice, one that I rec ognized with a thrill of terror as that of the man with the scarred hand, growled a guttural assent. "Who planned this thing any way?" Grace Draper retorted de fiantly, but I noticed that her voice was more guarded than be fore, and that she at once turned her attention to the Chinese vase. I deduced that the owner of the Ironical voice held the real reins of the expedition. With quick, def fingers, sbow- nr that she had remembered per fectly Kato's description, she emp tied the vase, and taking a mg- net similar to mine from her dress, the metal pencil rase soon lay within her hand. But when she had opened it. and had, hand ed the rice paper it contained to the owner of the ironical voice, whose mnsfached square face I could see In the light of the flash light he held to the paper, there broke a startled exclamation from him: Schvreinhund! Fool! Vat H this? You have been tooled, and This is a trap!"

The senate went into committee ot the whole with Senator Eddy in the chair and the amendments were offered by Pres ldent Ritner. The principal amendment was the separation ot Jackson and Josephine counties as senatorial districts, leaving the same as they are bow. This was the point over which the fight of Thursday oc curred. The bill leaves the entire sena torial apportionment as it is now, but there is a-readjustment in the apportionment of representati res. One member is taken from Linn county and one from Marion, leav ing ' those two counties two and four members respectively.
