John Calhoun becomes secretary of state In Tyler's cabinet with the Axed de­ termination to acquire both Texaa and Oregon Nicholas Trist, hla secretary. Is Bent with a message to the Baroness von Rita, spy and reputed mistress of the British nr.inlstwr, rakeniiam. Trist en­ counters the baroness and assists her in csrapl.-i.sr from pursuers. She agrees to see Calhoun, and as a pledge that she Will tbi: him what he wants to know re­ garding the intentions of England toward Mexico, she gives Trlst a slipper, the mate of which has been lost. Triet Is or­ dered to Montreal on state business, and arran^s to be married to Elizabeth Churclfiil before departing. The baroness Bays i;he will try to prevent the marriage. A drunken congressman, who ia assisting Trist in his Wtoddin^ arrangements, b'un.- deringJy sends tha baroness' slipper to Elizabeth Instead of the owner, and tne marriage is declared ofT. Nicholas finds the baroness In Montreal, she having suc­ ceeded, where he failed, in discovering England's intentions regarding Oregon. She tells him the slipper he had, con­ tained a note from the Texas attache to Pafcenham, saying that if the United 8tates did not annex. Texas within 30 days she would lose both Texas and Oregon. Calhoun orders Trist to head a party bound for Oregon. Calhoun excites, the Jealousy of Senora Yturrio, and thereby secures the signature of the Tens at­ tache to ti treaty of annexation. Nicholas arrives in Oregon. Later'"the baroness ar­ rives on a British warship. She tells Nicholas that a note she placed in her slipper caused the breaking off of his marriage, and that she intends to return to Washington to repair the wrong. • """i!-- He leurns oil me •way that Polk has been elected and Texas annexed, and that there Is to bo •war with Mexico. The baroness tells Trist that in return for a compromise of the Oregon boundary on the fjrty-ninth degree, she has sold herself to Pakenliam. She teils . him the story of her life. CHAPTER XXXIII.--Continued. SJie nodded. "Yes. Debauchee, rate, monster, degenerate, product of that aristocracy which had oppressed us, I was obliged to marry him, a man three times my age! I pleaded. I begged. I was taken away by night. I was--I was-- They gay I was mar­ ried to him. For myself, I did not know where I was or what happened. Bnt after that they said I was the •wife of this man, a st>t, a monster, the memory , only of manhood. Now, in­ deed, the revenge of the aristocracy was complete!" She went on at last in a voice icy cold. "I fled one night, back to Hun­ gary. Fcr a month they could not find me. I was still young. I saw my people then as I had not before. I saw also the monarchies of Europe. Ah, now I knew what oppression ipeant! Now I knew what class dis­ tinction and special privileges meant! I saw what ruin it was spelling for our coungfy--what it will spell for your country, if they ever come to rule here. Ah, then that dream came to me which had come to my father, that beautiful dream which justified me in everything I did. My friend, can it--can it in part Justify me-- ! now? { "For the first time, then, I resolved to live! I have loved my father ever : since that time. I pledged myself to continue that work which he had un- ! dertaken! I pledged myself to better the condition of humanity if I might. "There was no hope for me. I was condemned and ruined as it was. My life was gone. Such as I had left, that I resolved to give to--jvhat shall we call it?--the idee democratique. "Now, piay God rest my mother's soul, and fcnine also, so that some time I may se^ her in another world--I pray I may be good enough for that some time. I have not been sweet and sinless as was my mother. Fate iaiu a heavier burden upon me. But •what remained with me throughout was the idea which my father had be­ queathed me--" "Ah, but also that beauty and sweet­ ness and loyalty which came to you from your mother," I insisted. She shook her head. "Wait!" she said. "Now they pursued me as though I had been a criminal, and they took me back--horsemen about me who did as they liked. I was, I aay, a sacrifice. News of tDis came to that man who was my husband. He bad not the courage of the nobles left. But he heard of one nobleman against whom he had a special grudge, and him one night, foully and unfairly, he murdered. "News at that came to the emperor. My husbahd was tried, and, th6 case f being well known to the public, it was necessary to convict him for the sake of example. Then, on the day set for his beheading, the emperor reprieved him. The hour for the execution passed, and, being now free*or the time, he fled the country. He went to Africa, and there he so disgraced the state that bore him that of late timas I hear he has bee# sent for to come , back to Austria. Even yet the em­ peror may suspend the reprieve and send him to the block for his ancient crime. If he had a thousand heads he could not atone for the worse crimes he has done! "But of him and of his end I know nothing. So, now, you see I w*a and am wed, and yet am not wed, and never was. I do not know what I am, nor who I am. After all. 1 cannot tell you wfio I am or what I am. bjtcause I myself do not know. "It was no longer safe for me 4n my own country. They would not let me go to my father any tnore. As for him. he went on with l is studies, some part of his mind b/ing bright and clear. Th^y did not wish him about the court now. AM these mat­ ters were to be hushed u»>. The court of England began to talte cognizance of these things. Our government was scandalized. They sen* my father, on pretext of scientific etrands, into one country and another--to Sweden, to England, to Africa, at last to America. Thus it happened tfiat you met him. ,You must both have been very near to meeting me in Montreal. It was fate, as we of Huagary would say. "As for me, i was no mere hare­ brained radical. 1 did not go to Rus­ sia, did not ' J«s<n the revolutionary circle of Paris, did not seek out Prus­ sia. That is folly. My father was right. It must be the years, it must M 8 if /III Wt "Yes," Said She, "Among Other Things I Have Been 'America Vespucci!'" be the good heritage, it must be the good environment, it must be even opportunity for all,, which alone can produce good human betngs! In short, believe me, a victim, the hope of the world is in a real democracy. Slowly, gradually, I was coming to believe that." She paused a moment. "Then, one time, monsieur--I met you, here in this very room! God pity me! You were the first man I had ever seen. God pity me!--I believe I--loved you --that night, that very first night! We are friends. We are brave. You are mftn and gentleman, so I may say that, now. 1 mm no longer woman. I am but a sacrifice. "Opportunity must exist, open and free for all the world," she went on, not looking at me more than I could now at her. "I have set my life to prove this thing. When I came here to this America--out of pique, out of a lovg" of adventure, out of sheer daring and exultation in imposture--then I saw why I was born, for what purpose! It was to do such work as 1 might to prove the theory of my ^atj^en and to justify the life of my mother.' For that thing I was born. For thai thing I have been damned on this earth; I may be damned in the life to comek unless I can make some greqt atone­ ment . For these I suffer and shall al­ ways suffer. But what of that? There must always be a sacrifice." The unspeakable tragedy of her roicti cut to my soul. "But listen!" I brok«3 out. "You are young. You are free. All the world Is before you. You can have anything you like--" "Ah, do not talk to me qf .that," she exclaimed imperiously. "Do not tempt me to attempt the deceit of myself! I made myself as I am, long ago. I did not love. I did not know it. As to marriage, I did not need it, I had abundant means without. I was In the upper ranks of society. I was there; I was classified; I lived with them. But always I had my purposes, my plans. For them I paid, paid, paid, as a woman must, with--what a wom­ an has. "But now, I am far ahead of my story. Let me bring it on. I went to Paris. I have sown some seeds Of venom, some seeds of revolution, In one place or another in Europe in my time. Ah, it works; it will go! Here and there 1 have cost a human life. Here and\here work was to be done which I disliked; but I did it. Mis­ guided, uncared for, mishandled as I had been--well, as I said, I went to Paris. "Ah, sir, will you not, too, leave che room, and let me tell on this story^ to myself, to my own soul? It is fitter for my confessor than for you." "Let me, then, be your confessor!" said I. "Forget! Forget! You have not been this which you say. Do I not know?" "No, you da not know. Well, let be. Let-.me go on! I say I went to Paris. I was close to the throne of France. That little duke of Orleans, son of Louis Philippe, was a puppet in my hands. Oh, I dp not doubt I did mischief in that court, or at least if I failed it was through no lack of effort! I was fcalled there 'America Vespucci.' ijhey thought me Italian! At last they (came to know who I was. They dared not make open rupture in the face df .the courts of Europe. Certain of their high officials came to me and my young duke of Orleans. They asked me to leave Paris. They did not command it--the duke of Or­ leans cared for that part of It. But they requested me outside--not in his^ presence. They offered me a price, a bribe--such ail offering as would, I fancied, leave me free to pursue my own ideas in my ovpi fashion stod in any corner of the world. You have perhaps seen soranS^tjf my little fan­ cies. I imagined t£at love and hap­ piness were never for me--only am­ bition and unrest With these goes luxury, sometimes. At least this sort of personal liberty was offered me-- the price of leaving Paris, and leaving the son of Louis Philippe to his own devices. I did so." "And so, then you came to Wash­ ington? That must have been some years ago." "Yes; some five years ago. I still was young. I told you that you must have' known me, and so, no doubt, you did. Did you ever hear of 'America Vespucci'?" A smile came to my face at the sug­ gestion of that celebrated adventuress and mysterious impostress who had figured In the annals of Washington-- a fair Italian, so the rumor ran, who had corhe to this country to set up a claim, upon our credulity at least, to being the descendant of none less than Amerigo Vespucci himself! This supposititious Italian had indeed gone so far as to secure the introduction of a bill in congress granting to her cer­ tain lands. The fate of that bill even then hung in the balance. I had no reason to put anythfng beyond the au­ dacity df this woman with whom I spoke! My smile was simply that which marked the eventual voting down of this once celebrated measure, as merry and as bold a jest as ever Dvas offered the credulity of a nation --one conceivable only in the mad and hitter wit of Helena von Ritz! "Yes, madam," I said, "I have heard of 'America Vespucci." I presume that ycu -arc now about to repeat that you are she!" She nodded, the mischievous enjoy­ ment of her colossal jest showing in her eyes, In spite of all. "Yes," said she, "among other things, I have been 'America Vespucci!' There seemed little to do here in intrigue, and that was my first endeavor to amuse my­ self. Then I found other employment. England needed a skillful secret agent. Why should I be faithful to England? At least, why should I not also en­ joy intrigue with yonder government of Mexico at the same time? There came also Mr. Van Zandt of this Re­ public of Texas. Yes, it is true, I have seen some sport here in Wash­ ington! But all the time as I played in my owDt little game--with no one to enjoy it save myself--\ saw myself begin to lose. This country--this great splendid country of savages-- "I * MAKES SOME MODEST PREDICTIONS began to take me by the hands, t?egaa to look me In the eyes, and ask me: 'Helena von Ritz, what are you? What might you have been?' "So now," she concluded, "you asked me, asked me what I was, and I have told you. I ask you myself, what am I, what am I to be; and I say, I am un­ clean. But, being as I am, I have done what I have done. It was for a prin­ ciple--or it was--for you! I do not know." "There are those who can be noth­ ing else but clean," I broke out. "I shall not endure to hear you speak thus of yourself. You--you, what have you not done for us? Was not your nioiher clean in her heart? Sins such as you mention were never those of scarlet. If you have sinned, your sins are white as snow. I at least am confessor enough to tell you that." "Ah, my confessor!" she reached out her hands to me, her eyes swim­ ming wet. Then she pushed me back suddenly, beating with her little hands upon my breast as though I were an enemv "IVi not'" «he "G°!" ' My eye caught sight of the gf*at key, Pakenham's key, lying there on the table. Maddened, I caught it up. and, with a quick wrench of my naked hands, broke it in two, and threw the halves on the floor to join the torn scroll of England's pledge. I divided Oregon at the forty-ninth parallel and not at fifty-four forty, when I broke Pakenham's kefy. But you sljall see why I have never re­ gretted that. "Ask Sir Richard Pakenham if he wants his key now!" I said. CHAPTER XXXIV. The Victory. stay the sie;: --Shakespeare. have you done?" she ex- "Are you mad? He may be any moment now. Go, at She will not terms. Nor bide the encounter of assailing eyes. Nor ope her lap to soul-seducing gold . . . For she is wise, if I can Judge of her; And fafr she is, if that mine eyes be true; And true she is, as she hath proved her­ self. "What claimed. here at once!" "I shall not go!" "My house is my own! I am my own!" "You know it is not true* madam!" I saw the slow shudder that crossed her form, the fringe of wet which sprang to her eyelashes. Again the pleading gesture of her half-open fin­ gers "Ah, what matter?" she said. "It is only one woman more, against so much. What is past, is past, mon­ sieur. Once down, a woman does not rise." "You forget history--you forget the thief upon the cross!" "The thief on the crosB was not a woman. No, I am guilty beyond hope!" "Rather, you are only mad beyond reason, madam. I shall not go so long as you feel thus--although God knows I am no confessor." "I confessed to you--told you my story, so there could be no bridge across the gulf between us. My hap­ piness ended then." "it is or no consequence that we be happy, madam. I give you back your own words about yon torch of principles." For a time she sat and looked at me steadily. There was, I say, some sort of radiance on her face, though I, dull of wit, could neither under­ stand nor describe it. I only knew that she seemed to ponder for a long time, seemed to resolve at last. Slow­ ly she rose and ieft me, parting the satin draperies which screened her boudoir from the outer room. There wps silence for some time. Perhaps she prayed--I do not know. Now other events took this situa­ tion in hand. 1 heard a footfall on the walk, a ca itious knocking on the great front door. So, my lord Paken­ ham was prompt. Now I could not escape even if I liked. (TO BE CONTINUED.) The Polite Chiffonier. A certain woman while walking down the avenue one Thursday after­ noon, her negro maid's "day out," chanced to meet that young person riding in an automobile with two col­ ored friends. The next day the mis­ tress inquired how the maid had en- Joyed her ride. "Oh, it was cert'nly fine!" was the reply. "And the way I came to go. ma'am, was this. I was callin' on my cousin when a friend of hers, a chif­ fonier, came IQ, He said he had the machine outside and asked her to have a ride, and. as he concluded me in the invitatien, of co'se I went!" He "Brought Down the House." On one occasion, when Arthur Rob­ erts, the English writer, was perform­ ing the pairt of Captain Crosstree in the burlesque of "Bl^ck Eyed Susan" at Glasgow, he converted an awkward contretemps into a hlU.In one of the scenes Crosstree entered supposed to be Inebriated arid staggered about the stage. In doing so Mr. Roberts acci­ dentally came in contact with the scenery of the inn, bringing the whole set down. The curtain had to be lowered, and the vivacious comedian came to the frOQt and said; "Ladles and gentlemen, you see when we come to Glasgow we always! bring down the house/' Abyssinian# Not Impressed. Members of the British mission to Menelik In 1897 were chosen partly with a view to impressing the negus. The average height of the eight mem­ bers was six feet one inch, and five of them were over six feet two Inches. Capt. Cecil B'ngham of the First Life guards, chief arnamental officer to the mission, produced a great effect on the natives with his helmet and cuirass. But, according to Victomte de Poincitis, who was present, the cuirass did not Impress the na­ tives at all favorably. He writes; "As Captain Bingham walked away I heard an Abyssinian warrior remark; 'Just look at him. He must be a coward! He has a shitld which cov­ ers his back!'" . Too Ambitious. According to a Chicago physician, who bases his discovery on local in­ vestigations, six drinks of whisky have the same effect on a main's system as a hard day's work. Unhappily, too many of those industrious Chicago im­ bibers try to crowd a week's work into a single day.--Cleveland Plain Dealer. Rare Old-Wine.

Butt, the presl* dent's military aide, was called out of bed at nine o'clock one morning to answer a telephone call. "Archie," said his friend on tha other end of the wire, "I called yotl up to tell you that I shall not be abl« to keep the appointment I made wttk you for eleven o'clock today." "I'm sorry," said Butt, his tone a trifle chilly. "Yes; it's too bad," agreed tha other. ^ There ensued an ominous pause. ^ "You know," remarked Butt senten* tiously, "telephoning seems to be a habit a bad habit, in Washington. People are beginning to Issue their invitations by telephone. They 'phono on the slightest provocation. They don't seem to know when not to tele­ phone. They even get you out of bed to talk to you on the telephone." "I'm afraid I annoyed you, an< you're bawling mo out," said friend. "Oh, no!" contradicted Butt in a louder tone.

A WORM THA rS- HARD TO KILL of loving Hal Chase, skipper of the Yankees, does not claim a pennant for his team. Chase harbors the opinion that there isn't any one club In the American league that is going to have clear sailing in the race for the flag. "There are at ledCst five clubs thii year that have more than a fighting chance," said Chase today. "Now, get this right I mean that the Athletics are not going to grab off another cham­ pionship without a hard fight. "The Yanks finished second last year and that in the face of many reverses during the midseason. When our team got going we made a rush for the top, but, of course, it was then too late to do any damage. This year we should be up with the leaders ali the time, provided of course, the men are not compelled to lay off on account of injuries. These are things we cannot tell now. "The White Sox is a club that we must look out for. The Chicago team is a much stronger combination this year. Lord and McConnell gave the team a mighty brace. Sullivan will be back on the job and Walsh and White will be able to start the season under more favorable conditions. Walsh, you will remember, did not get going well until the season was well advanced. "The Detroit club is always to be feared. Jennings is a great manager. Reverses for his team do not discour­ age him. He is always full of fight and has Imbued this spirit into the team. But I guess we will beat them out "I look to Washington to win more games than last season. Walter John­ son Is going to win a lot of games and I understand that there is among the young players some mighty likely ma­ terial. "The WashlngtonB play ball in streaks, but when they do get going they show class. It 1b just likely that this year McAleer is going to hand us something of a surprise. I always consider the Washingtons a hard prop­ osition. "Cleveland did not play up to the speed last year. If Joss can come back this team will bear a lot of watch­ ing. It Is a team particularly strong In batting." AVIATION AT BELMONT PARK Meeting Planned at Noted Racetrack, to Pick Americans for Interna- v tlonal Competition. Aeroplanes will replace horses at Belmont I^ark race track this season. As soon as the Jockey club decided there would be no horse racing this year the Aero club of America made preliminary arrangements for a lease of the course and will hold a series of summer aviation meetings there. The elimination races for selecting the American team to represent Amer­ ica at the international meet in Eng­ land will be the first of the notable events at the course. This race probably will be held be­ fore May 15, which is about a month before the aviators will have to sail for Europe. In connection with the elimination race there will be a gen­ eral meet with various contests for duration, altitude and cross-country flying. Considerable money will be offered in prizes. 8ut in • Short Time Disappears Entirely.

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAM "When my boy was about threa months old bis head broke out with a rash which was very itchy and ran a watery fluid. We tried everything wa could but he get Trorss all tuo Uuiv, till it spread to his arms, legs and then to his entire body. He got so bad that he came near dying. The" rash would itch so that he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish Btuff would be all over hla pillow in the morning. I had to put mittens on his hands to prevent bin tearing his skin. He waa so weak and run down that he took fainting spells as if he were dying. Hs was almost a skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws. "He was bad about eight montha when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long while. I washed him with Cuticura Soap and put on one application of Cuticura Ointment and he was so soothed that he could sleep. You don't know how ! glad I was he felt better. It took ona box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty near one cake of Cuticura Soap to cure him. I think our boy would hava died but for the Cuticura Remedies and I shall always remain a firm friend of them. There has been no return of the trouble. I shall be glad to have you publish this true state­ ment of his cure." (Signed) Mra. M. C. Maitland, Jasper, Ontario^ May 27* 1910. Subject to Restrletlona.
