Nicholas Trist, his secretary. Is sent with a message to the Baroness von Ritx, spy and reputed mistress of the British minister, Pakenham. Trist en­ counters the baroness and assists her In escaping from pursuers. She agrees to see Calhoun, and as a pledge that she will tell him what ha wants to know re­ garding the intentions of England toward Mexico, she gives Trist a slipper, the mate of which has been lost. Trist is or­ dered to Montreal on state business, and arranges to be married to Elizabeth ChttwW!! H-?'-"eparaas. The baroness says she will try to prevent the marriage. A drunken congressman, who Is assisting Trist in hia wedding arrangements, blun- ucriugly ocfius tho i)a;Oiio5a U' Elisabeth instead of the owner, and the marriage is declared oft. Nicholas finds the baroness In Montreal, she having sur- c^eded, 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 Pakenham, saying that if the Untted States did not annex Texas within SO 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 Texas at­ tache to a 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. Nicholas follows her. He learns on the way that Polk has been elected and Texas annexed, and that there is to be War with Mexico. The baroness tells Trist that in return for a compromise of thiE Oregon boundary on the forty-ninth defree, she has sold herself to Pakenham. She tells him the story of her life. Trist breaks Pakenham's key to the baroness' apartments. Pakenham calls for his price, and the baroness refuses to pay. He Insults her. She oompels him to apologize, holds him up in his true light, and he declares that she Is pure as a Illy. The treaty is signed by Paken­ ham. CHAPTER XXXV. *' The Proxy of Pakonham. A man can not possess anything that Is better than a good woman, nor anything that is worse than a bad one. --Slmonides. When I reached the central part of the city, I did not hasten thence to Elmhurst mansion. Instead, I re­ turned to my hotel. I dM not now care to see any of my friends or even to take up matters of business with my chief. It Is not for me to tell what feelings came to me when I left Helena von Ritz. Sleep siich as I could gain, reflec­ tions such is were ^pevitkble, occu­ pied me for all that night. It was mid-morning of the following day when finally I once more sought out Mr. Calhoun. He had not expected me, but re­ ceived me gladly. It seemed that he had gone on about his own plans and with his own methods. "The Senora Yturrio is doing me the honor of an early morning call," he began. "She is with my daughter in another part of the house. As there is matter of some Importance to come up, I shall ask you to attend." He dispatched a servant, and pres­ ently the lady mentioned joined us. She was a pleasing picture enough in her robe of black laces and sulphur- colored silks, but her face was none too happy, and her eyes, it seemed to me, bore traces either of unrest or tears. Mr. Calhoun handed her to a chair, where she began to use her lan­ guid but effective fan. "Now, it gives us the greatest re­ gret, my dear senora," began Mr. Cal­ houn, "to have Gen. Almonte and your husband return to their own country. We have valued their presence here very much, and I regret the disrup­ tion of the friendly relations between our countries." She made any sort of gesture with her fan, and he went on: "It is the regret-also of all, my dear lady, that your husband seems so shamelessly to have abandoned you. I am quite aware, if you will allow me to be so frank, that you need some financial assistance." "My country is ruined," said she. "Also, sehor, I am ruined. As you say, I have no means of life. I have not even motiey to secure my passage home. That Senor Van Zandt--" "Yes, Van Zandt did much for us, through your agency, senora. We have benefited by that, and I there­ fore regret he proved faithless to you personally. I am sorry to tell you that lie has signlQed his wish to Join our army against your country. I hear also that your late friend, Mr. Polk, has forgotten most of his promises to you." "Him I hate also!" she broke out. "He broke his promise to Senor Van Zandt, to my husband, to me!" Calhoun smiled in his grim fashion. **I am not surprised to hear all that, my dear lady, for you but point out a known characteristic of that gentle­ man. He has made me many promises which he has forgotten, and offered me even of late distinguished honors which he never meant me to accept. But, since 1 have been personally re­ sponsible for many of these things which have gone forward, I wish to make what personal amends 1 can; and ever I shall thank you for the good which you have done to this <jountry. Believe me, madam, you served your own country also in no ill manner. This situation could not have been prevented, and It is not your fault. I beg you to believe that. Had 5 ou and I been left alone there Would have been no war." "But I am poor, I have nothing!" she rejoined. There was indeed much in her sit­ uation to excite sympathy. It had been through her own act that nego­ tiations between England and Texas were broken off. All chance of Mex­ ico to regain property in Texas was lost through her influence with Van Zandt. Now, when all was done, here she was, deserted even by those who had been her allies in this work. "My dear senora." said John Cal- koon, becoming less formal and more kindly, "you shall have funds sufficient to make you comfortable at least for a time after your return to Mexico. 1 ebj uot authorise^ to draw upon " fill B* jrmKHiiN HOUCi If A.TOH0R. or THIS' Mttmwfl&m. BBTOBJLE our exchequer, and you, of course, must prefer all secrecy in these mat­ ters. I regret that my personal for­ tune is not so large as It might be, but. In such measure as I may, I shall assist you, because I know you need assistance. In return, you must leave this country. The flag Is down which once floated over the house at Mexico here." She hid her face behind her tan, and Calhoun turned aside, "Senora, have you ever seen this slipper?" he asked, suddenly placing upon the table the little shoe which for a purpose I had brought with me, and meantime thrown upon the table. She Sashed a dark look. and did not speak. "One night, some time ago, your husband pursued a lady across this town to get possession of that very slipper and its contents! There was in the toe of that little shoe a mes­ sage. As you know, we got from it certain information, and therefore de­ vised certain plans, which you have helped us to carry out. Now, as per­ haps you have had some personal ani­ mus against the other lady in these same complicated affairs, I have taken the liberty of sending a special mea-< senger to ask her presence here this1 morning. I should like you two to meet, and, if that be possible, tp part with such friend Alp'as may exist In the premises." I looked suddenly at Mr. Calhoun. It seemed he was planning without my aid. "Yes," he said to me, smiling. "I have neglected to mention to you that you recognise it, Madam Baroness?" "All, my little shoe!" she exclaimed. "But see, it has not been well cared for." "It traveled in my war bag from Oregon to Washington." said I. "Per­ haps bullet molds and powder flasks may have damaged it" "It still would serve as a little post- office. perhaps," laughed the baroness. "But I think its days are done on such errands." "I will explain something of these errands to the Senora Yturrio," said Calhoun. "I wish you personally to say to that lady, if you will, that Senor Yturrio regarded this little re­ ceptacle rather as official than person­ al post." For one moment these two women looked at each other, with that on their faces which would be hard to describe. At last the baroness spoke: "It is not wholly my fault, Senora Yturrio, if your husband gave you cause to think there was more than diplomacy between us. At least, I can say to you that it was the sport of it alone, the Intrigue, if you please, which interested me. I trust you will >t accuse me beyond this." if A stifled exclamation came from Y-te Dona Lucrezia. I have never seen more sadness nor yet more hatred on a human face than hers displayed. I have said that she was not a thorough­ bred. She arose now, proud as ever, it is true, but vicious. She declined Helena von Ritz's outstretched hand, and swept us & curtsey. "Adios!" said she. "I go!" i I ft i "Yes, Van Zandt Did Much for Us, Through Your Agency, Senora." the Baroness von Ritz also Is here. In another apartment of this place. If you please. I shall now send for her also." He signaled to his old negro at­ tendant Presently the latter opened the door, and with a deep bow an­ nounced the Baroness vOn Ritz, who entered, followed closely by Mr. Cal­ houn's Inseparable friend, old Dr. Ward. The difference in breeding between these two women was to be seen at a glance. The Dona Lucrezia was beau­ tiful in a way, but lacked the thor­ oughbred quality which comes In the highest types of womanhood. Afflict­ ed by nothing but a somewhat mer­ cenary or personal grief, she showed her lack of gameness in adversity. On the other hand, Helena von Ritz, who had lived tragedy all her life, and was now in the climax of such tragedy, was smiling and debonair as though she had never been anything but wholly content with life! She was robed now In some light filmy green material, caught up here and there on the shoulders and secured with silk­ en knots. Her white neck showed, her arms were partly bare with the short sleeves of the time. She stood, composed and easy, a figure fit for any company or any court, and somewhat shaming our little assembly, which never was a court at all, only a pri­ vate meeting In the office of a dis­ credited and disowned leader In a re­ publican government. Her costume and her bearing were Helena von Ritz's answer to a woman's fate! A deep color flamed In her cheeks. She stood with head erect and lips smiling brilliantly. Her curtsey was grace itself. Our dingy little office was glorified. "I Interrupt you, gentlemen." she be­ gan. "On the contrary, I am sure, my dear lady," said Dr. Ward, "Senator Calhoun told me he wished you to meet Senora Yturrio." "Yes," resumed Calhoun, "I was Just 8peaking with this lady over some matters concerned with this little slip­ per." He smiled as he held it up gin­ gerly between thumb and finger. "Do Mr. Calhoun gravely offered her an arm; and so with a rustle of her silks there passed from our lives one un­ happy lady who helped to make-our map for us. The baroness herself turned. "I ought not^o remain," she hesitated. "Madam," said Mr. Calhoun, "we can not spare you yet." She flashed upon him a keen look. "It is a young country," said she, "but it raises statesmen. You foolish, dear Americans! One could have loved you all." "Eh, what?" said Dr. Ward, turn­ ing to ber. "My dear lady, two of us are too old tor that; and as tor the other--" Be did not know how hard this chance remark might smite, hut as usual Helsna von Hits was brave and smiling. "You are men," she said, "such as we do not have in our courts of Eu­ rope. Men and women--that Is what this country produces." -"Madam." said Calhoun, "1 myself am s very poor sort of mac. I am old, and I fell from month to month. I cannot live long, at b*st What you see Ja me 1B oimpiy a purpose--a pur­ pose to accomplish something fbsr -ay country--a purpose which my country Itself does not desire to see fulfilled Republics do not reward us. What you say shall be our chief reward. I have asked you here also to accept the thanks of all of us who know the Intricacies of the events which have gone forward. Madam, we owe you Texas! 'Twas not yonder lady, but yourself, who first advised of the dan­ ger that threatened us. Hers was, after all, a simpler task than yours, because she only matched faiths with Van Zandt, representative of Texas, who had faith in neither men, women nor nations. Had all gone well, we might perhaps have owed you yet more, for Oregon." "Would you like Oregon?" she asked, looking at him with a full glance of her dark eyes. "More than my life! More than all my fortune!" His voice rang clear and keen as that of youth. "All of Oregon?" she asked. "All? We do not own all! Perhaps we do not deserve it. Surely we could not expect It. Why, if we got one- half of what that fellow Polk is claim­ ing, we should do well enough--that is more than we deserve or could ex­ pect. With our army already at war on the southwest, England, as we all know. Is planning to take advantage of our helplessness in Oregon." Without furthef answer, she held out to him a document whose appear­ ance I, at least, recognized. "I am hut a woman," she said, "but it chances that I have been able to do this country perhaps something of a favor. Your assistant, Mr. Trist, has don^ me in turn a favor. This much I will ask permission to do-for him." Calhoun's long and trembling fin­ gers were nervously opening the doc­ ument. He turned to her with eyes blazing with eagerness. "It is Ore­ gon !" He dropped back into his chair. "Yes," said Helena von Ritz, slowly. "It is Oregon. It Is bought and paid for. It is yours!" So now they all went over that doc­ ument, signed by none less than Pakenham himself, minister plenipo­ tentiary for Great Britain. That docu­ ment existST to-day somewhere in our archives, but I do not feel empowered to make known its full text I would I had never need to set down, as I have, the cost of it These others never knew that cost, and now they never can know, for long years since both Calhoun and Dr. Ward have been dead and gone. I turned aside as they examined the document which within the next few weeks was to be­ come public property. The red wafers which mended it--and which she smilingly explained at Calhoun's de­ mand--were, as I knew, not less than red drops of blood. In brief, I may say that this paper stated that, in case the United States felt disposed to reopen discussions which Mr. Polk peremptorily had closed, Great Britain might be able to listen to a compromise on the line of the forty-ninth parallel. This compro­ mise had three times been offered her by diplomacy of United States under earlier administrations. Great Brit­ ain stated that in view of her deep and abiding love for peace and her deep and abiding admiration for America, she would resign her claim of all of Oregon down to the Colum­ bia; and more, she would accept the forty-ninth parallel; provided she might have free navigation rights upon the Columbia. In fact this was precisely the memorandum of agree­ ment which eventually established the lines of the treaty as to Oregon between Great Britain and the United States. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

LABOR CHIEFS FREE 8UPREM6 COURT DECIDES GO MP- ERS, MITCHELL AND MORRI­ SON NOT IN CONTEMPT. TRIO LIABLE TO FINE ONLY Ruling in Famous Bucks Stove Bojp. cott is That Proceedings Were Civ€* and Not Criminal. Washington.--The Supreme court of the United States set aside the sen­ tences of imprisonment against Pres­ ident Samuel Gompers, Vice-President John Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor. The sentences were im­ posed by the district supreme court for contempt in the Bucks boycott case. The court decided that the fed­ eration officials had been erroneously sentenced to jail on a charge of con­ tempt of a local court. The justices unanimously held that fines were the only sentences that couid be imposed on the labor lead­ ers. In so holding, the Supreme court of the United States found that the court of appeals of the District of Co­ lumbia and the supreme court of the district erred in treating the contempt proceedings as a criminal case and not a civil one. The effect of hold­ ing the proceedings a civil one was to make jail sentences impossible. Hence the Jail sentences had to be set aside. To correct the error the case was sent back to the local courts, with di­ rection that it be dismissed. At the same time the court expressly made it possible for civil proceedings to be Instituted against the labor men. The court was led to hold that the contempt proceedings in this case must be civil in nature because crim­ inal punishment is exercised by courts to force persons to do acts command­ ed. In the present case the court took the view that the labor men were be­ ing sent to jail not to make them do something the court ordered but be­ cause of "something they had done." Inasmuch as all the differences be­ tween the labor men and the com­ plainant have been adjusted, including the "boycott" case out of which the contempt proceedings arose, the deci­ sion is probably the last heard of this famous action. The charges of contempt against Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Mor­ rison arose out of a bitter labor war between organized labor and the Bucks Stove ft Range company of St. Louis. The concern had come into the su­ preme cotirt of the District of Colum­ bia to prevent, by injunction, the American Federation of Labor and its officials from boycotting its own prod­ ucts or the business of those who dealt with It. The company claimed that the fed­ eration was trying to unionize the company's shops. The labor leaders urged that the company was "unfair" to labor. The head of the company was J. W. Van Cleave, president of the National Manufacturers' associa­ tion, which had often Come into con­ flict with the federation. He was charged with having been opposed to organized labor. Justice Gould of the district su­ preme court issued the injunction prayed for by the company, and con­ tinued publication of the Bucks firm's name in the federation "we do not patronize" list led to the contempt , charges. Justice Wright found the union offi­ cers guilty and sentenced President Gompers to one year in jail; Vice- President Mitchell to nine months, and Secretary Morrison to six months. It was further charged that In the succeeding number of the Federation- ist Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison joined in an appeal to organized labor for funds to carry the injunction case to the higher court. It was contended that this appeal was used as a vehi­ cle to continue the boycott. The charges stated that the appeal referred to an editorial in the same number of the magazine as setting forth the attitude of those making the appeal. This editorial was attributed to Mr. Gompers. In addition to the "urgent appeal," in which Mr. Mitchell joined, he was accused of having acted in contempt by presiding over the United Mine Workers' convention when It adopted a resolution to fine any member who bought a Bucks stove.
