"What you doing, doc—running for congress?” he asked, and the Geruian Joined him in the humor of the sltua tlon and then turned gravely to the Russian. “1 fear the carabinieri did not depart without suspicion.” "Suspicion!” echoed Ivanovitch bit terly “They will watch every exit from the hotel and grounds What can 1 do until <iark?” pike Interrupted him quickly and motioned to the hotel. “Why. doc. he’s got the whole lower floor of this wing. You're his chain feur”— “1 was about to suggest it,” inter rupted Von Grollerbagen. In his turn, with some grimness of manner. "I have a room that can well lie spared for Professor Ivanovitch.” "How can I ever thank you? God bless you both!” said the Russian, go ing toward them with outstretched bauds. •’Huh! Don’t waste time talking about it,” said Pike. "1 shouldn’t be surprised If you were hungry.” He took the refugee by the arm and steered him in the direction of the ho tel, and as the three entered the wide door the curtains above the entrano» i pigny coming Tii from the ¿rove. 8b* approached them at once. "Have you seen my brother?” she demanded excitedly. “Where is Lord Hawcastle?” Horace looked at her with surprise. "On tlie other side of the garden. Lady Creech," he answered, "down there on the terrace," and watched, with some amusement, the speedy ef forts of the grim old lady as she hur ried off The amusement, however, rapidly gave place to a more interest ing pastime, for. summoning all his callow courage, he set himself vigor ously to hint at a possible union tie tween himself and the noble countess. It was evident from the first word that the lady was prepared for him and that, while she intended to offer him every bit of encouragement in her power, she would not be satisfied with anything short of a definite proposal and more likely before witnesses if possible. He made his initial move with some guyety. She returned his banter with a mock seriousness and in answer to his challenge on her somber mood re plied; “But 1 cannot believe you are al ways serious, my friend.” "Try me,” he demanded eagerly. “Set me some tusk to prove how seri ous I am.” She smiled at him. “Gladly," she said. "Complete this odious settlement. Overcome the re sistance of this bud man who so trou bles your sweet sister.” Horace took her hand and murmur- ! ed: "You promise me that when It is set- 1 tied 1 may speak to you”— "Yes. You may speak to me—when ] you please.” And at the words he kissed her hand rapturously. In the meantime the suddenly reju venated Lady Creech had found her I brother-in-law und had Imparted to him words of the utmost importance, j She bad temporarily forgotten her deafness, or else the agitation that pos sessed her had removed it, for she was bordering upon "a state of mind.” She walked him back to the hotel when she found him und talked con tinuously all the way, und as she bilked his excitement grew to match her own. As they approached the gar den Lady Creech said to him; "I couldn't hear distinctly, for they mumbled their words, but upon my soul. Hawcastle, even if 1 couldn't hear well, 1 saw enough.” CHAPTER XIII. THE LETTER. S Ijidy Creeeh and Hawcastle entered the garden, where i Horace was still holding the hand of the fair countess, they encountered AI meric, wiio was stroll ing in aimlessly from the direction the village. Hawcastle beckoned him. "Anything unusual down there?” asked, pointing to the village. "Raw I her! Carabinieri still bunting that bandit chap.” said bls hopeful son languidly. "Don't mumble your words!” snapped the old lady, and Horace and madame turned sharply ami confusedly. Al meric made a gesture of Impatience and. putting his bead close to his re spected aunt’s ear, shouted: “Hunting a bally bandit!” at which the old woman screamed sharply. Hawcastle took him by the shoulder. "What do they say about him?” he demanded. "That lie is still in the neighbor hood.” replied his heir, with a languid sigh "What did 1 tell you?” asked Lady Creech triumphantly. And the earl made a gesture of impatience. “Almeric, find your betrothed and bring her here." lie said And tile young man trotted off slowly. Hornee came slowly forw ard "What’s the row, air?” he asked, and the ear' smile«!, read to you T.’hen T g.T y ■ nr l»r . * home 1 wrote to Jim Cooley, eur vi«e consul in Ixindou, to look up those Hawcastle folks and write me bere how they stand.” "You did that!” she cried in ang»r. "You bad the audacity to pry into the affairs of the Earl of Hawcastle!" "Why, I’d ’a’ done that if It'd tieen the governor of Indiana himself,” he replied, with surprise. “Besides, Jim Cooley's ‘home folks.’ His office used to lie right next door to mine in Ko komo. I haven't opened the letter yet. but 1 haven't much doubt but Jim 'll have some statements In It that'll show you I’m right about these people.” "How do you kuow that?” she de manded heatedly. "Because I’ve had experience enough of life”— "In Kokomo?” she asked scornfully. “Yes, ma'am,” he answered. "There’s Just as many kinds of people In Ko komo as there is in Pekin, and I didn’t serve a term in the legislature without learning to pick underhand men at sight Now, that earl, let alone his having a bad eye—his ways are too much on the stripe of T. Cuthbert Bentley’s to suit me. T. Cuthliert was a Chicago gentleman, with a fur lined overcoat, that opened up a bank in our town, and when he caught the Cana dian express three months later all he left in Kokomo was the sign on the front door. That was painted on. But, there, here’s the letter Read it for yourself." He handed it to her and watched her while she broke the seal and then be- gau to read: Dear Dan—The earldom of Hawcastle is one of the oldest In the kingdom, and the St. Aubyns have distinguished themselves In the forefront of English battles from Agincourt and Crecy to Sebastopol, The present holder of the title came into It by iccldent. He was a younger son s younger son and had spent some years In Russia in business under another name. Nothing here in his English record is seriously against him. though everything ha has Is mortgaged to the handle. She finished with a look of triumph. “What a terrible indictment!” she said scornfully. "So that was what you counted, on to convince me of my mistake? I shall tell Lord Hawcastle A “My dear young man." he said. "1 congratulate you that you and your sister not'd no longer submit to an odtomi dictation.” He was about to say more, but at that moment Daniel came down the steps and walked across the grnss to tin- motor. As he passed the group he smiled genially nnd observed; "Looks to me as If it was going to clear up cold." "Good afternoon, Mr. Pike," answer e«l the earl ami motioned the others to leave. Pike merely nodded his head, and Hawcastle came up to hitu “It Is a pity that there should have been any misunderstanding in the mat ter of your ward's betrothal.” he said, and Pike smiled grimly. "Oh. I wouldn't call It n misunder standing,” he said, and the earl went ou. “It would 11) become a father to press upon the subject of his son’s merits”— be began, but Pike cut him short. "I won't talk with you about him," he said. “I don’t want to hurt your feelings." Hawcastle glared at him and was about to reply when Mariano entered with a letter on a tray, which he hand e«l to the lawyer, who regarded It curi ously. There was a growing menace in the carl's attitude, and as tils anger grew ills suavity grew with It. "There Is another matter to which I want to call your attention," he went on, and Pike answered him at once. "I'll talk alxnit anything else with you.” he replied and looked up to see were agitated violently and the head Ethel coming down the steps. She of Lady Creeeh popped out of the case came forward to the earl and said: "You w ished me to come here?" ment with the suddenness of a Punch. "1 wish to tell you that I see light From the keen look on her face oue might have imagined that had It not breaking through the clouds. Have an beeu for her deafness she might have other talk with our friend here, and. beard every word of the conversation lielieve me, all will be well.” With a bow he left the garden, and that had gotie ou below her. As it was, after gating anxiously in the direction Ethel stood staring after him. Pike of the road she withdrew her head look«*d up quickly from the letter he sharply and within a minute came out was rending ami crossed over to her. "I'm glad you've come.” he said. of the door of the hotel Just in time to encounter Horace and Mme de «'huui- "I vy gut something here I want to indictment I" nhe sutil that you will be willing to take up the matter of the settlement the moment his solicitor arrives." Pike shook his head sadly “No. I wouldn’t do that, because 1 won’t take up any settlements i with him or any one else.” "Have you after this any objection to my alliance with Mr St. Autiyn?" she inquired, her anger nt white heat. "It Isn't an alliance with Mr. St. Aubyn you're after.” be replied calm ly “You’re after something there ain’t anything to. If I'd 1st you buy what you want you’d find it as empty as the Judgment day the morning after. You think because I'm a jay country lawyer 1 don’t understand. Why, we've got the same thing at home. There was little Annie lloff meyer. Her pa was a carpenter and doing well, but Annie could not get Into the Kokomo Ladies’ Literary so ciety, and her name didn't show up In the society column four or five times every Saturday morning, so she gets her pa to give her the money to marry Artie Seymour, the minister's son, and a regular minister's son he was! Al most broke Annie's heart and her pa's, too, but be let her have her way and went in debt and bought them a bouse on Main street. That was two years ago.” Pike paused momentarily. "Annie's working nt the deepo enndv stand now," be resumed, "and Artie's working at the hotel bar—in front drinking up what's left of old man Hoff meyer'»— settlement!” 8he tlung away from him In a tern per and then wheeled on him in n flash. “And you say you understand—you who couple the name of a tippling yo kel with that of a St. Autiyn. whose ancestors have fought on every field of battle from Crecy and Agincourt to the CHmea!” “But you won't see much of his an cestors!” complained Pike. "He bears their name,” she nn- swered. (TO BE CON TINT ED) WHAT IS BEST FOR INDIGESTION ? Mr. A.

Small Crumb of Ccmfcrt For the Workingman In the Inaugural—Hold1 Same Views as Chief Executive as W ALSTHOM. Agent. Bandon, Oregon. When Judge—What Labor Asks. E in the April number of the American I’erh-rat i. inc( S.iinuel Gotlipen dent of the Federation of Labor and editor in chief of the magazine, tie votes several pages to an editorial with the caption "President Taft Consistent With Judge Taft." Mr Gompers quotes what President Taft In his Inaugural about labor and injunct commenting says in part: "Of course any statement which man of Mr lafi s standing may 111:1k Is entitled to more than passing notice, anti particularly Is this so when lie is also president Then let us ask. ‘Would labor's efforts to s«*eure relief by law from the admitted abuse of the I ii J iiik tlon writ make the working men privileged class of wrongdoers" in tin sense that they would be privileged to commit crimes or unlawful acts with out punishment?' Let us see. What does labor ask at the hands of the law makers? "Labor asks and demands that the courts that, never from rights, their personal freedom, it should never bo issued to enjoin or deny the personal liberty, the personal freedom, of workingmen. "Just before Judge Taft in 1907 left the I nited States on his trip to the Philippines he as an avowed aspirant for the nomination for tin- presidency nt a public function at Seattle gave Ids views as to th<> claims which labor makes regarding the abuse of the In Junction writ. The utterance was en tirely unexpected and apparently nil necessary “President Roosevelt announced that Judge Tuft was the man who should succeed him as president. “Judge Taft, while proclaiming that he would follow the 'Roosevelt poll cies.' at once took the opportunity to give the corporations, trusts and em ployers hostile to labor a broad hint as o where he might be found. “From th«* time Mr Taft made speech at Seattle there was not slightest doubt among observing that his nomination for the prestd« was a foregone conclusion. He duly nominated and elected, and in first utterance as president, in his augural address, he repeated his a stirances to th«* ‘interests.' He ‘made good’ to them. “In his Seattle address, among other things. Judge Taft said in substance that any limitation of the powet of the courts to grant and enforce writs of injunction would be bad and dan genius; that the Injunction is one of the most valuable, beneficent and es senti.il instruments; that labor's pur pose was to create for itself ‘a privi loged class of wrongdoers.' And he concluded by adding that the remedy proposed in labor's (Petirre) bill to regulate and limit the injunction and thereby secure equal rights of the workers with all others was a most dangerous measure, adding: ‘‘‘So you see Mr. Gompers’ proposi tlon links justice at the foundation S«*e what the effect would lie. It would make n favonsl class of wrong doers among tin* workingmen.’ "In his recent inaugural address lie r«>peals the same sentiments "The president does not s«>em to bo aware that the supreme court lias ren dered a decision by which the vohin tary associations of wage earners, the labor unions, may now b«‘ proewde«! against as combinations in illegal re straint of trade, mulcted in threefold damages, the unions dissolved and each member sentence«] to a $5,«xt«l fine and a year’s imprisonment. Can it be possible that the president does not know of this «lecision? If he does, arc not the workers’ rights and Inter ests entitle«] to the president's consid eration as requiring relief at the hands of congress as well as the trusts and business corporations? "The only hopeful suggestion in President Taft's inaugural address re garding labor is that congress should pass a law that th«* government may lieeoine liable for accidents to its em ploy«'cs a proposition, of course, in the right direction, but it is only a i rtimb. nnd, oh. what a measly crumb it is! "Some of the greatest statesmen of the world have declared that they had no pride of consistency. But w hen a judge has attained fame by rendering ■t decision or dis ree new in charac ter and fnrreai liing in its effects, and particularly when it Is quoted as the best authority, no matter how it In vades the guaranteed rights and liber lies of the people. It is almost too much to expect that such a judge shall subsequently favor legislation rendering void his decision ami his standing as an 'authority.' A states man. a business man. a workman, a «dentist— each and all of them may make a mistake nnd corr«s-t it a 'lldgc. never " Coopers Establish Death t o ' i i ' oi - i > ■> Kiu<e. managing agent, 24 California St., San Francuco. 1 .-till Steamer Alliance O .
