It was a comfortable little city apart- ment, and only the typewriter table in one corner betrayed the fact that it was a work as well as a play room. | Through an arch an absurdly small | dining room with the table lald for one proclaimed it to be the home of a bachelor girl, though Elizabeth Bel- knap's dainty femininity gave no sug- gestion of spinsterhood either from choice or cireumstance. The coffee percolator steamed on the table unheeded while she ran through her letters--a check for a story, two | manoscripts, a paper and a thin, flat package bearing a foreigh stamp. Elizabeth frowned over one letter, smiled over another, patted. the check lovingly as she thrust it into the draw- | er of her tiny desk and ripped the cov-. i ering from the package. Out fell a | playbill, a glaring thing of red and | blue letters on yellow paper, bearing | the list of artists appearing at a Ro- | man music hall. One of the names was marked with an inky cross, and in defiance of postal regulations Nell Stanwood had written sn the margin: "Do you remember we saw her at the theater the night be- fore 1 sailed? It's a small world, after all" Elizabeth smiled at the remem- brance. Four other girls and herself bad given Nell a going away party the night before the latter sailed to study in Italy.

Fa Elizabeth gat down to the typewriter, bat presently there came an insistent ring at the hall door. Tony, the rosy faced Italiam, who supplied the ten- ants of the house with ice, displayed two rows of gleaming teeth as he ex- plosively announced "Ice!" Rlizabeth held open the door for him while he lifted the cake from the dumb walter and placed it 4n her refrigerator. But the smile faded from Tony's face as he turned to leave. With an inarticulate ery he sprang at the post- er, fingering 4t lovingly and scanning every word of the beloved Itallan. "It is from the home," he explained, blushing, when the first shock of sur- prise had passed. "It is to there that I take--a what you call-sweetheart? Ah, to the Salone Margherita, me an' my Marie.

IN THE QUEEN'S PARK SOME UNVISITED PLACES IN THE PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS, Where Ontario's State Secrets Are Kept--Places Not Shown to Visitors ~--{nteresting Spots Below the Sur- face--Much to Be Seen fn Garret and Cellar--Musty Records on All Sides. It's real ghostly up among the raft- ers of the Legislative Buildings in Queen's Park That gleaning red star in the tower, which anmbunces by its twinkling that the provincial law-makers are workin, overtime, is the centre of a carniva of lusty phantoms and strange spirits. Take a lantern and commence an exploration through these unfrequent- ed apartments on a dark night. Your experiences are more than natural and your feeling more than fanciful. There are all sorts of creepy things to be seen, felt, and Ps There are a thousand secrets corked up in that big brown stone bottle in the park, and a goodly proportion of them are right under the room Sheltered in this apartment are many of the things a casual visitor to the buildings is not shown; they are not mentioned in the guide book, and not dilated on by the voluble constable who shows you around on an ordin- ary visit. If you want to go up in the "unsurveyed" and "unorganized" ter: ritory you can't have any constable or guide with you. Moreover, you must go the trip quietly and alone, for "trespassing is prohibited" and it is considered sacred ground The entrance to this unused flat is through a narrow door off the east third floor. Tt opens on to a passage 2 3 way, at the end of which is a rough ufied haltingly from the aol vod bridge over an enormous pipe. isd face drawn with X Oper fid i thened *8 is not. en this bridge. trembles. imderfoot like the crazy-stairs in a House of Folly, but with the aid of the lantern you sight your way through a great tin-covered gliding door at the further end of the corridor This door opens easily. Within there fs nothing but inky blackness, which Jou lantern helps little to expel. It ooks like a great big room, but a ladder with a broken rung at the far- ther end of the apartment gives an invitation to explore further. It leads to an opening in the great thick wall, and another careful climb over creaky steps takes you up to it. A gentle shove and the door moves aside with a squeak that seems to pro- test against intrusion. You elamor up into the great dome in the centre of the building In the day time light streams in from the little round windows and the inches in the towers. It is a cold breezy place, suggestive of the inter- jor of an Arctic iceberg. The centre of the floor is raised three or four feet above the ordinary level, and from this centrepiece comes a peculiar vi- brating sound akin to the whistling of the fall wind through a leafless forest Peering through the tiny holes in the centre you find you are roosting over the ceiling of the Legislative Chamber. Sixty feet below is a sea of grey hairs and bald heads, which the twinkling lights of the huge electrolier show off in all their glory. You dis- cover that the murmurings of the winds and the voices of the legislators in warm debate below are one and the same thing. This takes some of the romance out of it, also some of the supernatural. If you were to drop through that ceiling you would lanc square on the shining flate of the Hon- orable Member for-- But you turn away from the com- monplace of Parliamentary debate to look for something further new and startling. There is still another lad- der to scale--still another secret and airy apartment to look into. Listen--there's a roar like a distant Niagara Falls, coming from the direc- tion of that tower on the left. Right alongside of you there is a big gal- vanized iron pipe big enough to drive a team of ponies through. From with- in there comes a ping and rapping like_the rushing of some very lively spirits. 3 ; There's just one more ladder, *and like Jacob's, it ends somewhere up near the clouds, It takes one up to tha tower where the zephyrs blow throngh on to an electric fan. Here is the origin of the Niagara Falls, chorus. The cold breeze fans on a circular wheel and is whirled down the great tube into the Legislative Chamber far below. Through this is drawn the antidote for the hot air which "springeth up" from behind the desks of the Legislative Chamber. This is the summit of the visitors' olimb, and the dissipation of the sup- ernatural element of the great ex- panse under the roof. There are oth- er things secreted in that great attic, but they are all sternly practical. Big trunks Tol of returns from the magis- trates, of convictions under the Liquor License Act, huge stacks of blue pe- and "informations" from Crown ree s all over the ey tell of the crimes and the punishments 'of half a century.

They do say that in days of old, when the knights of Opposition were bold, the Ministers of the Crown were obliged to snatch their forty or more winks ab the buildings, between sittings, and bed- rooms were provided within the Legis- lative Building for them. As late as last session Mr, Allan Studholme, the leader of the Labor Party of One, presented a very pertinent reference on this very subject--a reference tg which the Li Minister did not deign to make any very definite reply. Al iiny rate, the Ministers have their own private dining-room at the west end of the building, where they can discuss the weighty affairs of state and refresh the inner man at the same time Just as radical Government measures are concocted in this room ha! i igh as in the apartment known as the Cabinet Room. Into the latter the de- putations sometimes do get a peep. But the Ministers' dining-room is the real modern Star Chamber. Sooner would the Jew sit down to a dinner of "unkoshered" meat than would the Ontario Cabinet Ministers sup in their private dining-room with ome not of the Elect! There is also a "private" dining- room for thé rank and file of the mern- bers of the House. It is private in name only, for the caterer is quite willing to feed there any and all who have the purchase price of a meal On the main floors of the buildings there are hundreds of little cubby holes find corners, which the M.P.P. doesn't take his constituent to see, when the latter calls to pay his re- spects. Some of these wouldn't inter est the constituent Others would The red and gold and tinkling glass of Mr. Speaker's quarters might open his eyes; the luxurious furnishings of some of the subordinate officials' offices might please or displease him the tiers and tiers of maps and plans in the Burveyors' Department would be instruetive to him ; Down in the basement, with its vaulted ceiling, and dark passiges, there are further secrets concealed Locked up in sundry steel vaults are th 1s of ballot baxes, which could | undoubtedly tell tales.
