PEOPLE OF THE DAY

New Republican Whip. Congressman James E. Watson of Indiana, the new whip of the house Republicans, is comparatively a young man to bear that honor, being but slightly over forty years old. Yet he has served long in congress, being now in his fifth term. When fresh out of college, a green lawyer at Rushville, In the Hoosier State, he' went into a campaign for congress pitted against the veteran Democrat, William S. Holman, famous as “the watchdog of the treasury.” Watson won out after a contest that is still, the talk of t the Sixth Indiana district. His election as whip means that one day he is like-

ly to go to the party leadership in the house, with prospects in time for the speakership. When it was first given out that he would succeeil Tawney as party whip some reference was made to the f;u-t that Watson was an ardent Methodist and that on two occasions lie had been state president of the Epworth league. Later it developed that he leads the choir in the First Methodist church of Rushville, where he lives, and that in this lie vies with James P. Goodrich, the Republican of Indiana, who leads the choir in his town. Governor In Wrong Pocket. 8. M. Griffith, water commissioner of Altoona, was coming up from Philadelphia a day or two ago, and two seats ahead of him In the car sat Governor Pennypacker. Their top coats hung side by side on the wall of the car. Suddenly the governor arose and began going through the pockets of Mr. Griffith’s coat. “Is there anything in that coat you would like to have?” asked the water commissioner, leaning forward. His excellency scowled at tills apparent impertinence, hut Mr. Griffith only smiled and nodded toward the coats. Still the governor did not seem to understand. “If there is I’ll be glad to get it for you,” added Mr. Griffith, still smiling affably. Then the governor “tumbled,” glanced at the coats, saw that he was in the wrong one and stammered an apology. —Pittsburg Dispatch. A Statesman's WhlElcers. Representative Graham of Pennsylvania has whiskers that do not meet at all points. There are too many intervals between them. Two of his colleagues were discussing him in the house lunch room. ’Tn my opinion," said one of them, “Graham's whiskers are punctuated too liberally.” “Yes,” said the other, who usc>d to be an editor, “they are what you might call double leaded Whiskers.” New York Times.

He is an orphan and the grandson of Lord Herrington, but the latter refuses to recognize the marriage of George’s father (Lord Derrington's son), who had eloped. Brendon desires to establish his position as Lord Derrington's heir in order to marry Dorothy Ward. The place of marriage of George', parents is known only to Mrs. Jersey, formerly maid to George’s mother. His mother died at his birth, and his father hud been murdered in San Remo, Italy, years before. Ill—ln the night Mrs. Jersey is killed with a stilleto by un unknown person. IV—Miss Bull takes charge of the house in behalf of Margery, neice of the murdered woman. The house has been leased from Lord Derrington.

Jersey, visits Miss Bull and learns that the dead woman received an annuity from Lord Derrington. George saves a Mr. Bawdsey from death and learns that the latter live, in the Jersey house. Vlll—Lola Velez. a dancer, is in love wlthGeorge and is loved by Bawdsey. Lola's parents lived in Sun Remo at. the time of the murder of Brendon's father. IX and X—Mrs. Ward invite. Train to dinner.

Bawdsey warns him that he is suspected of Mrs. Jersey’s murder. XII —Lord Derrington is visited by Brendon, who tells his grandfather that he saw him in Mrs. Jersey's house on the night of of the murder. Brendon demand, that his grandfather silence Mrs. Ward. Xlll—Lord Derrington visits Mrs. Ward and forces her to keep silence concerning the yellow holly berry found by Train, ttdling her that the berry was dropped by George at the finding of the body. Dorothy and her mother see Lola Velez dance. Lola later tells Dorothy that the latter will be forced to give up her lover.

Not to be beaten, Bawdsey sought out George Brendon. But George was ji.d one thing led to another until 1 discovered that Ireland had been In San Remo when your father was murdered. 1 wished to tlnd out who killed him, so I questioned Mr. Ireland.” “Why do you wish to know who killed my father?” asked George. “Because I think that the murder of Mrs. Jersey is connected with that crime. See here"—Bawdsey cleared his throat—“ Mrs. Jersey was in San Remo at the time of the death”— “How do you know that?” “Don't I tell you I questioned Mr. Ireland?” George looked sharply at the detective. “What magic did you use to make him talk? Mr. Ireland knows how to hold his tongue.” "Well, when he found that I was looking after the case of Mrs. Jersey—and I made no secret of that—he was good enough to tell me all he knew. He thought, as I did, that the murder in San Remo was connected with the crime of Amelia square. There is nothing more to say. Mr. Ireland declined to tell me who he thought was guilty, but he hinted that he had seen the lady in the blue domino unmasked.” “Did he recognize her?” “1 think he did, but he assured me that he could not be sure and that he had not seen the lady again.” "Then he did know the face?” face assumed an impenetrable expression. “I can only refer you to Mr. Ireland,” he said. “And as to Lola”— “Oh, she'll turn up again,” said Brendon irritably. “Don’t worry me about Lola. I wish you would marry her and take her back to your native land." “What land am I native of, Mr. Brendon?” asked Bawdsey calmly. “America, I understand. You hinted as much when we met.” Bawdsey shook his head. “I am as English as you are,” he declared. “Well,” said Brendon, with a shrug, “I thought as much. Your accent falls at times. You are not a good actor, Bawdsey.” “Never you mind, sir. I can hold my tongue when it suits me, and on this occasion it does suit me. But remember, Mr. Brendon, that whatever happens you have a friend In me.” “Are you referring to my father’s murder?” “And to Mrs. Jersey’s. I have my suspicions, and—well, there’s nothing more to be said. When I am certain I shall let you know.” “One moment, Bawdsey,” said Brendon as the man had his hand on the door. "Do you suspect Miss Bull?” "Why should I suspect her?” asked the detective in surprise. "Because she was not on good terms with Mrs. Jersey, and you have taken up your abode In the house”— “To watch her, you would say. Well, maybe," rejoined the man composedly. “I know what I know, and when I am more certain of what I know, sir”— He nodded. “Good day,” he said and went abruptly. It struck George that Bawdsey was a most mysterious person and knew far more about the Ran Remo murder than Derrington could have told him. Still it was possible that Derrington had unbosomed himself to Bawdsey, and It was necessary to do so If he wanted the murder of Mrs. Jersey cleared up. And Derrington, from his refusal to admit that he was at the house on the night and about the time the crime was committed, seemed to know something that might lead to the

detection of the assassin. “Humph,” said George to himself when alone, “I shall go round and see that old man. It seems to me that Bawdsey Is trying to serve two masters. It is impossible that my grandfather can know the truth. Yet, going by his height and figure and that sable claret colored coat, he was certainly In the house on the night In question." On arriving at St. Giles square he saw a carriage at tlie door of the Derrington mansion. On asking for Lord Derrington, George was informed that Ills lordship was engaged with Mrs. Ward and could see no one. Brendon turned away, wondering that he had not recognized the carriage, and he was still more vexed with himself when Dorothy put her head out of the brougham and called to him. “My dearest,” he said softly, so that the coachman and footman might not hear, “this is an unexpected pleasure. Why are you not inside?” “My mother wished to see Lord Derrington alone,” replied Dorothy. “I am waiting till she comes out. She has been with him for half an hour. I don’t know what they are talking about.” It was at this moment that a message was brought out of the house from Mrs. Ward saying that her daughter could drive home, as she would not be disengaged for another hour. Dorothy looked puzzled. “I can't understand,” she said. "There is something wrong with my mother. Lord Derrington came to see her one day, and she has been upset ever since.” George shook his head. He suspected Mrs. Ward of knowing more than she chose to confess, and based his suspicions on the fact of the yellow holly which she had given Dorothy to present to him. Meanwhile he kept these suspicions to himself and made some excuse. “Oh, Mrs. Ward and my grandfather are probably talking over my iniquities,” he said easily. “But I don’t see why I should not take advantage of this chance.” “What do you mean, George?” asked Dorothy, with a becoming blush. “Well, here is the brougham, and here ‘you are. Why shouldn’t we drive around the park before you go home?” “My mother will be angry.” said Dorothy, hesitating. Then she blushed again. “But I shall brave her anger. We have much to talk about, as I wish to speak of Lola Velez.” “Dorothy, surely you do not think”— as Ignorant as the manager and the landlady. “I haven’t the slightest Idea,” he said when Bawdsey asked, “and, to tell you the truth, I don’t see why you should try to find out I don’t see what right you have to control her movements.” “Did she write and tell you w’here she was going?*’ “No, and if she had done so I should not tell you,” replied George, annoyed by the man's persistence. “You may as well be civil to me, Mr. Brendan. You know that I am your friend.” “Oh, I’ve heard all that before. But people who talk much of friendship and gratitude are generally, humbugs.”

Lola threatened to throw a chair at him.

“I am not,” said Bawdsey quietly. ‘‘See here, Mr. Brendon, Lola is in love with you”— “That’s my business. Leave it alone.” Bawdsey took up his hat. “Oh, very well, if you will not be civil 1 cannot help you to iearn who killed your father.” “What!” George sprang from the table at which he was writing and seized the man’s arm. "Do you know that?" “Gently, Mr. Brendor. No, I do not know, but”— "Then what do you mean by saying”— “We had better have a chat,” said Bawdsey and sat down. “But I wish to know where I stand. Lola loves you. Do you love her?” "No,” said Brendon, seeing that he would have to humor the man. "I am engaged to marry Miss Ward.” "Will you help me to marry Lola?” “Willingly, though, to tell you the truth, I know very, little about you.

audio make that girl marry you’r—“Oh, Lola can look after herself, Mr. Brendon. If she becomes my wife she will have the upper hand. But 1 am so deeply in love with her that I am willing to play second fiddle. Can’t you dispossess her of this infatuation for you?** “See here, Bawdsey, if you can persuade this woman to get over her liking for me and to marry you I shall be delighted. I do not know where she is just now, but it is my Impression that she has gone away because she is afraid of me.” "Afraid of you? Oh, that’s absurd!” “No, it isn’t. The other morning she saw Miss Ward, and there was a scene in the park.” Bawdsey hung his red head. “I fear that is my fault,” he confessed. “I pointed out Miss Ward to Lola and’’— “And it was I who foolishly' mentioned that Miss Ward sometimes took a walk in the morning in the park.” “Oh,” said Bawdsey, “I mentioned that also.” “Did you wish Lola to ‘see Miss Ward?” asked George angrily. "No. Nor did I intend to say anything about the walking in the early morning. I simply pointed her out in the box to Lola so that Lola might see there was no chance of your marrying her.” “As if any woman would accept such an excuse,” said Brendon contemptuously. “Then she questioned you about the walk?” “Yes. She mentioned something about what you had told her, and I was rather free with my tongue. I am not usually,” said Bawdsey penitently, "but there’s something about Lola that makes me behave like a child. I’m wax in her hands. So she saw Miss Ward?” “Yes. And she knows that I am angry. Of course Miss Ward sent to tell me at once, and I called on Lola to give her a talking to, but she was gone when I arrived. I am quite content not to see Lola again so long as she leaves Miss Ward alone.” “I will try to keep her away,” said the detective, "but I have very little influence with her.” “Tell her I am angry and will be still more angry if she does not keep away from Curzon street. Well, we have discussed this matter. I now want to hear what you meant by your reference to my father. Do.you know who killed him ?” Bawdsey shook his head. “I can’t say for certain, but I can tell you who might know.” "Who is that?” “Mr. Roger Ireland.” George looked astonished. “But that is ridiculous,” he said. “Mr. Ireland told me that he did not know.” “Oh, I don't say that he knows for certain. But he is better acquainted with the matter than you think.” “How did you come to know Mr. Ireland?” “He called to see Miss Bull, and I dropped across him.” “How did you get talking of the case?” “Well, you see,” said Bawdsey easily, “we naturally talked of Mrs. Jersey, “No, no! But I want to ask you a few questions. I believe she is mad, George. Get in and we will drive round the park.” [TO BE CONTINUED.]
