WIJ'IIE GOING TO FIGHT JAPAN

Perkins of California Sees Another "Irrepressible Conflict." Washington, Fob. 2. In an address delivered before the National Georaphie society, Senator Perkins, of California, dwelt at length upon the probability of a conflict between the United States and Japan, countries containing "two irreconcilable races." as he pronounced them. After speakin? of the difficult overcome in the past dealing with the Chinese Perkins paid: "Hawaii has the Japanese on her hands, as we in California will soon have, and as this people is more aggressive, ntore tenacious, more cunning, and more determined that the Chinese it will never do to permit a long delay before settling the question once for all. "For the people of Japan have started out on a course of commercial development which will soon bring the United States and Japan so close together that it will be difficult to settle the question at all." The senator's idea seemed to be that we had laid our plans to lie supreme on the Pacific ocean and Japan would not submit and there you are. Senate and House in Urief. Washington, Feb. 2.

'iii IT your nights exploring secret passages? " This free expression of opinion startled me, though she seemed wholly Innocent of impertinence. "Who says there's any secret about the house?" I demanded. "Oh, Ferguson, the gardener, and all tte girls!" "I fear Ferguson is drawing on his imagination." Well, all the people in the village think so. I've heard the candy shop woman speak of it often." "She'd better attend to her taffy," I retorted. 'Ob you musn't be sensitive about it! All us cirls think It ever so ro mantic, and we call you sometimes the lord of the realm, and when we see you walking through the darkling wood at evenfall we say, 'My lord is brooding upon the treasure chests.' " This, delivered In the stilted tone of one who was half quoting and half improvising, was irresistibly funny, and I laughed with good will. "I hope you've forgiven me " I kicked the gate to knock off the snow, and took the key from my pocket. "But I haven't, Mr. Glenarm. Your asoumption Is, to say the least, un warranted I got that from a book!" It isn't fair for you to know my name and for me not to know yours," I said leadingly. "You are Mr. John Glanarm the gardener told me and I am just Olivia. They don't allow me to be called Miss yet. I'm very young. sir! You've only told me hay" md I kept my hand on the closed gate. The snow still fell steadily and the short afternoon was nearing its close. I did not like to lose her the life, the youth, the mirth for which she stood. Lights already gleamed in the school buildings straight before us, and the sight of them smote me with loneliness. "Olivia Gladys Armstrong," she said, laughing, brushed past me through the gate and ran lightly over the snow toward St. Agatha's. CHAPTER X. An Affair With the Caretaker. I read in the library until late, hear ing the howl of the wind outside with satisfaction n the warmth and com fort of the great room. Bates brought in some sandwiches and a bottle of ale at midnight. "If there's nothing more, sir " "That is all, Bates." And he went off sedately to his own quarters. I was restless and in no mood for -WW! mm mm Her Brilliant Cheeks Were a Deliqht to the Eye. bed, and mourned the lack of. variety in my grandfather's library. I moved about from shelf to shelf, taking down one book after another, and while thus engaged came upon a series of large volumes extra illustrated in water colors of unusual beauty. They occupied a lower shelf, and 1 sprawled on the floor like a boy with a new picture book in my absorption, piling the great volumes aaput me. They were on related subjects pertaining to the French chateaux. In the last volume I found a sheet of white note paper no larger than my hand, a forgotten book mark, I as sumed, and half crumpled it in my fingers before I noticed the lines of a pencil sketch on one side of it. I car ried it to the table and spread it out. It was not the bit of idle penciling It had appeared to be at first sight. A scale had evidently been followed and the lines drawn with a ruler. With such trifles my grandfather had no doubt amused himself. There was a long corridor indicated, but of this I could make nothing. I studied it for several minutes, thinking it might have been a tentative sketch of some part of the house. In turning it about under the candelabrum I saw that In several places the glaze had been rubfced from the paper by an eraser. and this piqued my curiosity. I brought a magnifying glass to bear upon the sketch, "he drawing had been made with a hard pencil and the eraser had removed the lead, but a well defined imprint remained. I was able to make out the letters, N. W. 4 to C. a refereace clearly enotfgh. to points of the compass and a distance. The word ravine was scrawled over a rough, outline of a

doorway or opening of some sort, and then the phrase: THE DOOR OK BEWILDERMENT. Xow I am rather an imaginative person; that is why engineering captured my fancy. It was his efforts to make an architect (a person wfio quarrels with women about their I kitchen sinks!) of a boy who wanted to te an engineer that caused me to break with my grandfather. Fate was busy with my affairs that night, for, instead of lighting my pipe with the little sketch I was strangely impelled to study it seriously. I drew for myself rough outlines of the interior of Glenarm House as it had appeared to me, and then I tried to reconcile the little sketch with ev ery part of it. i ne Hoor of rewnderment was the charm that held me. My curiosity was thoroughly aroused as to the hid den corners of the qweer old house, round which the wind shrieked tormentingly. I went to my room, put on my cordurov coat, took a candle and went below. One o'clock in the morning is not the most cheering hour for exploring the dark recesses of a strange house, but I had resolved to have a look at the ravine opening and determine, if nossible, whether it bore any relation to "The Door of Be wilderment." All was quiet in the great cellar; only here and there an area window rattled dolorously. I carried a tapeline with me and made measurements of the length and depth of the corri dor and of the chambers that were set off from it. These figures I entered in my notebook for further use, and sat down on an empty nail keg to reflect. The place was certainly substantial; the candle at my feet burned steadily with no hint of a draft; but I saw no solution of my problem. I was losing sleep for nothing; my grandfather's sketch was meaningless, and I rose and picked up my candle, yawning. Then a curious thing happened. The candle, whose thin flame had risen unwaveringly, sputtered and went out as a sudden gust swept the corridor. I had left nothing open behind me, but some cne had gained ingress to the cellar by an opening of which I knew nothing. I faced the stairway that led up to the back hall of the house when, to my astonishment, steps sounded behind me, and, turning, I saw a man carrying a lantern coming toward me. I marked his careless step; he was undoubtedly on familiar ground. As I watched him he paused, lifted the lantern to a level with his eyes and began sounding the outer corridor wall with a hammer. Here, undoubtedly, was my friend Morgan again! There was the same periodicity in the beat on the wall that I had heard in my own rooms. He began at the top and went methodically to the floor. I leaned against the wall where I stood and watched the slow approach of the lantern. The small revolver with which I had first fired at his flying figure in the wood was in my poevtet. n was just as well to have it out with the fellow now. My chances were as good as his, though I confess I did not relish the thought of being found dead the next morning in the cellar of my own house. It pleased my humor to let him approach in this way, unconscious that he was watched, until I should thrust my pistol into his face. His arms grew tired when he was about ten feet from me and he dropped the lantern and hammer to his side and swore under his breath impatiently. Then he began again with greater zeal. As he came nearer I studied his face in the lantern's light with interest. His hat was thrust back, and I could see his jaw hard set under his blond beard. He took a step nearer, ran his eyes over the wall and resumed his tap ping, beginning close to the ceiling In settling himself for the new series of strokes he swayed toward me slightly and I could hear his hard breathiner. I was deliberating how best to throw myself upon him, but a I wavered he stepped bacK, swore at his ill luck and flung the hammer to the ground. "Thanks!" I shouted, leaping for ward and snatching the lantern "Stand just where you are!" With the revolver in my right hand and the lantern held high in my left, I enjoyed his utter consternation, as my voiced roared in the cornaor. "It's too bad we meet under sich strange circumstances, Morgan," I said. "I'd begun to miss you; but I suppose you've been sleeping in the daytime to gather strength for your night prowling." "You're a fool," he growled. He was recovering from his fright I knew it by the gleam of his teeth in his yellow beard. His eyes, too, were moving restlessly about. He undoubt-

edly knew the house better than I did, and was considering the best means of escape. I did not know what to do with him now that I had him at the point of a pistol; and In my ignorance of his motives and my vague surmise as to the agency back of him, I vras filled with uncertainty. -You needn't hold that thing Quite - (To be Continued)

The Factory behind the Great Arrow Car"

E announce a new fonr cylinder, 40-45 horsepower seven passenger Great Arrow Touring Car, price 55,000.00. When we say ''seven passenger" we mean seven comfortable seats. The two additional seats are in the tonneau, with backs and arms. They revolve so that the occupants can turn around and chat sociably with the three people in the rear. There is nothing exclusive about the idea. All good cars will probably adopt it. The appeal of the Pierce Arrow is made tipon something deeper and more vital than a change in the form of the body. It is in the car itself. The argument for 1907 will be "The factory behind the Great Arrow Car."
