Well, then, I shall answer. For more than one yeai\ perhaps more than two, per­ haps more than three!" "Impossible!" 1 shook my head. "A woman like you could not be con­ cealed--not If she owned a hundred hidden places such as this." "Oh. 1 was known," she said. "You have heard of me, yoi^ know of me?" 1 still shook my head. "No," said I, "I have been far ia the west for sev eral years, and have come to Wash­ ington but rarely. Bear me out, I had rot been theYe my third day before I found yoxil" We sat silent for some moments, fixedly regarding each other. "It was rumored in diplomatic circles, of course, that you were in touch with the ministry of England^' I ventured. "I myself saw that much." "Naturally, Of Mexico also! At least, as you saw in our little carriage race, Mexico was desirous enough to establish some R/rt of communication with my humble Self!" "C^houn wa*. right!" T'exclaimed. "He was entirely right, madam, in listing that I shoi&M. bring you to biro that morning, wither or not you wished to go." She chuckled at the memory. "How did he receive you, madam?" I asked. "1 never knew." "Why, took my hand in both his, and bo^ed as though I indeed were queep, hfe king." "Then yoy got on well?" "Truly; for was wiser than Ms agent, monsieur. He found answers by asking questions." **For instance, he asked--" "What had been my ball gown that night--who was th«re--how I enjoyed myself- In a moment we were talk­ ing as though we had been friends for years. The grand vizier brought in t$o mugs of <Mder, in each a toast ed apple. Monsieur, I have not seen diplomacy such as this. Naturally, 1 was helpless." "You told him somewhat e/ your­ self?" "He did not allow me t« do that, monsieur." "But he told you somewhat of this country?" "Ah, yes, yes! So then I saw what held him up in his work, what kept him alive. I saw something I have not often seen--a purpose, a principle, in a public man. His love for his own land touched even me, how or why 1 scarcely know. Yes, we spoke of the poor, tlje oppressed, of the weary and the heavy laden." "Did he ask you what you know of Mexico and England?" "Rather what I knew of the poor in Europe. I told him some things I knew of that hopeless land--my own land. Then he went on to tell me ot America and its hope of a free democracy of the people. Believe me. I listened to Mr. Calhoun. Never mind what we said of Mr Yran Zandt and Sir Richard Pakenham. At least, as you know, I paid off a little score with sir Richard that next morning. What was strangest to me was the fact that I forgot Mr. Calhoun's at­ tire. forgot the strangeness of my er rand thither. It was as though only our minds talked, one with the other. 1 was, sorry when at last came Grand Vizier James to take Mr. Cal­ houn's order for his own carriage, that brought me home--my second and more peaceful arrival there that night." "Then I did not fail as messenger, after all! ,You told Mr. Calhoun what he desired to know?" in part at least. But come now, was I not bound in some sort of honor to my great and good friend, Sir Rich­ ard? Was it not treachery enough to rebuke him for his attentions to Dona Luor •'.ia?" "But you promised to tell Mr. Cal­ houn more at a later time? "Onv certain conditions 1 did," she assented. "I do not know that I may ask those?" "You would be surprised if I told you the truth? What 1 required of Mr. Calhoun was permission and aid still further to stndy his extraordinary country, its extraordinary ways, its extraordinary ignorance of itself. 1 Off" SKSTiflfHPS-l BU~»i*JLis iLiwrB'mims v MAGimr G-KJ? finer. have told you that I needed to travel, to study, to observe mankind--and those governments invented or toler­ ated by mankind." "Since then, madam," I concluded, stepping to assist her witty her chair, as she signified her completion of our repast, "since you do not feel now inclined to be specific, I feel that I ought to make my adieux, for the time at least. It grows late. I shall remember this little evening all my life. I own my defeat. I do not know why you are here, or for whom." "At what hotel do you stop?" "The little place of Jacques Bertil- lon, a square or so beyond the Place d'Armes." "In that case," said she, "believe me, it would be more discreet for you to remain unseen in Montreal. No matter which flag is mine, I may say that much for a friend and comrade in the service." "But what else?" She looked about her. "Be my guest to-night!" she said suddenly. "There is" danger--" "For me?" I laughed. "At my hotel? On the streets?" "No. for me." "Where?" "Here." "And of what, madam?" "Of a man; for the first time I am afraid, in spite of all." I looked at her straight. "Are you not afraid of me?" I asked. She looked at me fairly, her color coming. "With the fear which draws a woman to a man," she said. "Whereas, mine is the fear which causes a man to flee from himself!" "But you will remain for my prc- "Were You Then Married?" She Asked. tection? I should f el safer. Besides, in that case I should know the an­ swer." "How do you mean?" "I should know whether or not you were married!" CHAPTER XV. With Madam the Baroness. It is not for good women that men have fought battles, given their lives and staked their souls --Mrs. W. K. Clifford. "But, madam--" I began. She answered me in her own way. "Monsieur hesitates--he is lost!" she said. "But see, 1 am weary. 1 have been much engaged to-day. 1 have made it my plan never to fatigue my­ self. It is my hour now for my bath, my exercise, my bed, if you please. I fear I must bid you good night, one way or the other. You will be wel­ come here none the* lees, if you care to remain. 1 trust you did not find our little repast to-night unpleasing? Believe me, our breakfast shall be as good. Threlka is expert ia omelets, and our coffee is such as perhaps you may not find general in these prov­ inces " Was there the slightest mocking sneer in her words? Did she despise me as a faint-heart? I could not tell, but did not like the thought. "Believe me, madam," I answered hotly, "you have courage, at least. I^et me match it. Nor do I deny that this afeks courage on my part too. If you please, in these circumstances, I shall remain." "You are armed?" she asked simply. I inserted a finger in each waist­ coat pocket and showed her the butts of two derringers; and at the back of my neck--to her smiling amusement at our heathen fashion--I displayed just the tip of the haft of a short bowie-knife, which went into a leather case under the collar of my coat. And again I drew around the belt which I wore so that she could see the bar­ rel of a good pistol, which had been suspended under cover of the bell skirt of my coat. She laughed. I saw that she was not unused to weapons. 1 should have guessed her the daughter df a sol­ dier or acquainted with arms in some way. "Of course," she said, "thai* saw ON SOMEBODY'S TOES might be need of these, although I think not. And in any case, if trou­ ble can be deferred until to-morrow, why concern oneself over it? You interest me. 1 begin yet more to ap­ prove of you." "Then, as to that breakfast a la fouFchette with madam; if 1 remain, will you agree to tell me what is your business here?" She laughed at me gaily. "I might." she said, "provided that, mean­ time I had learned whether or not you were married that night." I do not profess that I read all that was in her face as she stepped back toward the satin curtains and swept me the most graceful courtesy I had ever seen in all my life. I felt like reaching out a hand to restrain her. Then I recalled my mission; and I remembered what Mr. Calhoun and Dr. Ward had said. I was not a man; I was a government agent. She was not a woman; she was my opponent. Yet, but then-- Slowly I turned to the opposite side of this long central room. There were curtains here also. I drew them, but as 1 did so I glanced back. Again, as on that earlier night, I saw her face framed in the amber folds--a face laughing, mocking. With an exclama­ tion of discontent, I threw down my heavy pistol on the floor, cast my coat across the foot of the bed to pre­ vent the delicate covering from be­ ing soiled by my boots, and so rested without further disrobing. In the opposite apartment I could hear her moving about, humming to herself some air as unconcernedly as though no such being as myself exist­ ed in the world. I heard her present- "A thousand thanks, my very good friend." I heard a smothered laugh beyond the amber curtains. Presently she spoke again, yawning, as I fancied, rather contentedly. "A ia bonne heure; monsieur!" "A la bonne heure, madam!" ! I'ml § lv accost her servant, who entered throngh some passage not visible from the central apartments Then with­ out concealment there seemed to go forward the ordinary routine of madam's toilet for the evening. last she called out to me: "Mon­ sieur '" 1 was at my own curtains at once, but hers remained tight folded, al though I heard hejj voice close behind them. "Eh bien?" I answered "It is nothing, except I would say that if monsieur feels especially grave and reverent, he will f ind a very com­ fortable prie-dieu at the loot of the bed." "I thank yon." I replied, gravely as I could "And there is a very excellent rosary and crucifix on the table just beyond'" "I thank you," 1 replied, steadily as I could And there is an Knglisli Hook of Common Prayer upon the stand not far from the head of the bed, upon this side!" CHAPTER XVI. Dejeuner a la Fourchette. Woman is a creature between man and the angels.--Honore de Balzac. A government agent, it seems, may also In part be little more than a man, after all. In these singular surround­ ings I found myself not wholly tran­ quil. ... At last toward morning, I must have slept. It was some time after daybreak when 1 felt a hand upon my shoulder as I lay still partly clad. Awakened suddenly, I WOSQ and almost overthrew old Threlka, who stood regarding me with »o ex­ pression whatever upon her brown and wrinkled countenance. She did no more than point the way to a door, where presently I fouiftl a bath-room, and so refreshed myself and made the best toilet possible under the circum­ stances. My hostess I found awaiting me in the central room of the apartments. She was clad now in a girdled peig­ noir of rich rose-color, the sleeves, wide and full, falling back from her round arms. Her dark hair was coiled and piled high on her head this morn­ ing, regardless of current mode, and confined in a heavy twist by a tall golden comb; so that her white neck was left uncovered. The little table in the center of the room was already spread. Madam filled my cup from the steaming urn with not the slightest awkwardness, as she nodded for me to be seated. We looked at each other, and, as I may Bwear. we both broke into sav­ ing laughter. "1 was saying," she remarked pres­ ently, "that 1 would not have you think that I do not appreciate the suf­ fering in which you were plunged by the haste you found necessary in the wedding of your jeune fille." But 1 was on my guard. "At least, I may thank you for your sympathy, madam!" I replied. "Yet in time," she went on, gone reflective the next instant, "you will see how very unimportant is all this turmoil of love and marriage. That torch of life!" she mused. "See! It was only that which you were so eager to pass on to another genera­ tion! That was why you were so mad to hasten to the side of that woman. Whereas," she mused still, "it were so much grander and so much nobler to pass on the torch of a principle as well!" "Do not philosophize with me," 1 said. "I am already distracted by the puzzle you offer to me. You are so young and 'beautiful, so fair in your judgment, so kind--" "In turn, I ask you not to follow j that," she remarked coldly. "Let us talk of what you call, I think, busi­ ness." "My dear lady," I began, "my rela­ tion to the affairs of the American republic is a very humble one. I am no minister of state, and I know you deal with ministers direct. How, then, shall I gain your friendship for my country? You are dangerous to have for an enemy. Are you too high- priced to have for a friend--for a friend to our union--a friend of the principle of democracy? Come now, you enjoy large questions. Tell me, •what does this council mean regard­ ing Oregon? Is it true that England plans now to concentrate all her traders, all her troops, and force them west up the Saskatchewan and into Oregon this coming season? Corner now, madam. Is it to be war?" Her curved lips broke into a smile that showed again her small white teeth. "Were you, then, married?' she safcl. 1 only went on, impatient. "Any moment may mean everything to us. 1 should not ask these questions if 1 did not know that you were close to Mr. Calhoun." She looked me square in the eye and nodded her head slowly. "I may say this much, monsieur, that it has pleased me to gain a little further in­ formation. ' "You wili give my government that Information?" "Why should I?" (TO BK CONTINL"EI">.)

MORE THAN 150 INJURED Detonation Felt Many Miles Away-- Skyscrapers Are Rocked--Men and Women Rush Into Streets Fearful of Earth Shocks. New York.--At least a score of per­ sons were killed, 150 or more Injured and property damaged to the extent of $500,000 when an explosion of 25 tons of dynamite occurred Wednesday at a pier close to the Central railroad of New Jersey's passenger ferry slip at Communipaw, N. J. At the same time the terrl^p force of the blowup reached through the underlying strata of rock not only in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Richmond and the Bronx, but far way points in Long Island and Connecticut, rock­ ing skyscrapers, smashing glass, tear­ ing away window frames and sending, panic stricken, tens of thousands of men and women into the streets, fear­ ful that an earthquake or some other vast natural turmoil was upon them. As in all upheavals of tremendous force, persons near by escaped death; buildings close at hand were not in­ jured; persons far sway were killed; structures at great distances were al­ most torn apart. What happened, briefly, was this: Two cars of dynamite, containing 25 tons each, from the Dupont Powddf company works In Wilmington, Del., had arrived on the tracks at the end of pier No. 7 almost adjoining the big Central station at Communi­ paw, the explosive being consigned to Palisades, on the Hudson, for use in blasting out rock. Two lighters, the Katherlne W. and the Whistler, had drawn up to the pier end to receive cargoes of the dangerous stuff. On the former was Captain John Healy and eight men. on the latter four men. On the pier end itself were twelve Polish laborers, some starting to eat their dinner* from their paiis; others engaged in transferring the dynamite from the freight cars to the lighters. There were at least 24 men within actual handling distance of the dyna­ mite. Next there was an awful roar, a great cloud of haze and dust, a trem­ ble of earth and structures above the earth within a radius of 30 miles square, an immense wave from the river that splashed high above every­ thing near by. and then a vision of death, maiming and wreckage.

Washington. -- The amended ship subsidy bill, known as the Qallin- ger substitute for the ocean mail bill, was passed by th§ senate through the assistance of Vice-President Sher­ man, who cast the deciding vote. The vote was 39 to 39. Senator Stone re-offered a substtr tute, which was defeated, 35 to 40. Vice-President Sherman again had to break a tie on the final passage of the bill.

Va. -- Mrs. Hallie IX Elkins, widow of United States Senator Stephen B. Elkins, has re­ nounced the provisions made for her in her husband's will and will claim her dower rights in his $20,000,000 estate. Under the laws of West Vir­ ginia the widow is entitled to one- third. Mrs. Elkins is believed to have ta­ ken this action for the sake of her Bve children, so that they may ulti­ mately receive more than the two children by the first Mrs. Elkins. Un­ der the senator's will the entire es­ tate was left in trust for five years. At the expiration of that time it was to be divided equally among the Beven children. Mrs. Elkins was given the Washington home, the summer home and $25,000 a year. Mrs. Elkins, by claiming her tylrd, cuts the share of the two children by the first wife, Mrs. Oliphant and Mrs. Weiderselm. Her five children will each receive one-seventh of the re­ maining two-thirds, but when Mrs. Elkins dies she can divide among them the $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 which her third will amount to.
