- 5. 7 CHAPTER XXIV. A FINE LOVER. Karloff remained In seclusion till the following Tuesday; after that day he was Been no more in' Washington; Prom time to time some news of him filters through the diplomatic 'circles of half a dozen capitals to Washington. The latest I heard of him, he was at Port Arthur. It was evident that Russia valued his personal address too highly to exile him because of his failure in Washington. Had he threatened or gone about noisily, we should all have forgotten 'him completely. As It is, the memory of him to-day is as vivid as his actual presence. Thus, I give him what dramatists call an agreeable exit. ' I was In the Baltimore and Potomac station the morning after that unforgetable night at Senator Blank's house. I had gone there to see about the departure of night trains, preparatory to making a flying trip to New York, and was leaving the station when a gloved hand touched roe on the arm. Th3 hand belonged to Mrs. Chad wick. She was dressed In the conventional traveling gray, and but for the dark lines under her eyes she would have made a picture for any man to admire. She looked tired, very tired, as women look who have not slept well. "Good morning, Mr. Orator," sho said, saluting me with a smile. "You are going away?" I asked, shaking her hand cordially. "Way, 'way away! I am leaving for Nice, where I Intend to spend the winter. I had Intended to remain In Washington till the holidays; but I plead guilty to a roving disposition, and I frequently change my mind." "Woman's most charming prerogative." said I gallantly. What a mask the human countenance Is! How little I dreamed that I was jesting with a - woman whose heart was breaking, and numbed with a terrible pain! Her maid came up to announce that everything was ready for her reception In the state-room, and that the train was about to draw out of the station. Mrs. Chad wick and I bade each othjr good-by. Two years passed before I saw her again. At eleven o'clock I returned to my rooms to pack a case and have the thing off my mind. Tramping restlessly up and down before my bachelor apartment house I discerned M'sleu Zhames. Hla face was pale and troubled, but the angle of his Jaw told me that he had determined upon something or other. "Ha!" I said ralllngly. He wore a decently respectable suit of ready-made clothes: "Lost your job and want me to give you a recommendation?" "I want a few words with you, Chuck, and no fooling. Don't say that ply got to." "With whom am I to talk, James, the groom, or Warburton, the gentleman?" "You are to talk with the man whose sister you are to marry." I became curious, naturally. "No police affair?" "No, Its not the police. I can very well go to a lawyer, but I desire absolute secrecy. Let us go up to your rooms at once." I led the way. I was beginning to desire to know what all this meant. "Has anybody recognized you?" I asked, unlocking the door to my apartment .. "No; and I shouldn't care a hang If they had." "Oho!" Warburton flung himself Into a chair and lighted a cigar. He puffed it rapIdly, while I got together my shaving and toilet sets. "Start her up," said I. "Chuck, when ray father died he left nearly a quarter of a million In five per cents; that is to say. Jack. Nancy and I were given a yearly income of about $4,500. Nancy's portion and mine are still in bonds which do not mature till 1900. Jack has made several bad Investments, and about half of his Is gone, but his wife has plenty, so his losses do not trouble him. Now, I have been rather frugal during the past seven years. I have lived entirely upon my army pay. I must have something like $20,000 lying in the bank In New York. On Monday, between three and four o'clock. Col. 'Annesley will become practically a beggar, a pauper." "What?" My shaving mug slipped from my hand and crashed to the floor, where It lay in a hundred pieces. "Yes. He and his daughter will not have a roof of their own: all gone, every stick and stone. Don't ask any questions; only do as I ask of you." He took out his check-book and filled out two blanks. These he handed to me. "The large one I want you to place In the Union bank, to the credit of Col. Annesley." I looked at the check. "Twentythousand dollars?" I gasped. "The Union bank has this day discounted the colonel's note. It falls due on Monday. In order to meet it. be will have to sell what Is left' of the Virginia estate and his fine horses. The lntei est will be inconsiderable." Wnat-" I began but he V'nterrupted me. , v-j "I anal , not answer, a :?gle question.'. The ci.eck for J,C0O 1 Is for the purchase of the horse9, which will be put on sale Saturday morning. They are . easily worth this : amount. TTT whatever agency jou plea 54,

No one wllfknow anything about It. then. 2 You can not trace money' v - "Good Lord, ' Bob, you are crazy! You are giving away a fortune." I remonstrated. "It is my own, and my capital remains untouched." - . "Have you, told her that you love her? Does she know who you arc?" I was very much excited. "No," sadly, "I haven't told her that I love her. She does not know who I am. What Is more, I never want her to know. I have thrown my arm?

-YOU ARE CRAZY." roughly around her, thinking ber to be Nancy, and have kissed her. Some reparation is due her. On Monday I shall pack up quietly and return to the west." "Annesley beggared? "What In heaven's name does this mean?" 1 was confounded. , "Some day, Chuck, when you have entered the family properly as ray sister's husband, perhaps I may confide in you. At present the 'secret Isn't mine. Let it suffice that through peculiar circumstances, the father of the girl I love Is ruined. I am not doing this for any theatrical play, gratitu-le and all that rot," with half a smile. "I admire and respect Col. Annesley; I love his daughter, hopelessly enough. I have never been of much use to any one. Other persons' troubles never worried me to any extent; I wa3 happy-go-lucky, careless and thoughtless. True, I never passed a beggar without dropping a coin into his cup. But often this act was the result of a good dinner and a special vintage. The $20,000 will keep the colonel's home, the house his child was born in and her mother before her. I am doing this crazy thing, as you call It, because It Is going to make me rather happy. I shall disappear Monday. They may or they may not suspect who has come to their aid. They may even trace the thing to you; but you will be honorbound to reveal nothing. When you have taken up the note, mail it to Annesley. You will find Count Karloff8 name on It." "Karloff?" I was In utter darkness. "Yes. Annesley borrowed $20,000 of .him on a three month's note. Both ! men are well known at the Union bank, Karloff having a temporary large deposit there, and Annesley always having done his banking at the same place. Karloff. for reasons which I can not tell you. did not turn in the note till this morning. You will take It up this afternoon." "Annesley, whom I believed to be a millionaire, penniless: Karloff one of his creditors? Bob. I do not think that you are treating me fairly. I can't go Into this thing blind." "If you will not do it under these conditions. I shall have to find some one who will." resolutely. I looked nt the checks and then at him. . . . Twenty-three thousand dollars! It was more than I ever before held In my hand at one time. And he was giving it away as carelessly as I should have given away a dime. Then the bigness of the act, the absolute disinterestedness of it, came to me sud; denly.- ' f "Bob. you are the finest lover in all the .worl'd! And If Miss Annesley ever knows who you are, she Isn't a w6man if she does not fall Immediately In love with you." I slapped him on the shoulder. I was something of a lover myself, and I could understand. "She will never know. I don't want her to know. That Is why I am going awav. 1 want to do a good deed, and be left In the dark to enjoy it. That is all. After doing this. I could never look her in the eyes as Robert Warburton. I shall dine with the folks on Sunday. I shall confess all only to Nancy, who has always been the only confidante I have ever had among the women." There was a pause. I could bring no words to my lips. Finally I stammered out: "Nancy knows. I told her everything last night I broke my word with you, Bob, but T could not it She was crying a gale oer wha. she

things to be your heartlessness. I hto to tell her." I" What did she -jay?" rising Abruptly. JShe laughed. nd I do not know when I have seeu er look so happy.

"If she smelt liquor on my breath I should lose my position. Goodby, then, till Sunday." I did not go to New York that night. I forgot all about going. Instead, I went to Nancy, to whom I still go whenever I am In trouble or in doubt. (To be Continued.) LOHGWORTH-ROOSEVELT (Continue! From Page Two.)home of the young couple, is an old mansion of Colonial style, located on grounds one hundred acres in extent. The residence faces Grandin road, East Walnut Hills. It was built by Joseph Longworth, and is crowded with art treasures. The grounds of Rookwood consist of rolling meadow land and groves of native forest trees. The groves are criss-crossed by tanbark walks and hard gravel drives. Rustic bridges span ravines of the open fields. Greenhouses, stables and kennels contribute to the comforts and pleasures of the occupants of Rookwood. The place is a part of the cowpasture of the first Nicholas, bought from Judge Burnett more than threequarters of a century ago. On it is a small one and a half story frame house that the founder built for himself before he had acquired great wealth. It is preserved as it was then. The rustic fence in front encloses beds of marigolds and asters, and in the vegetable garden in the rear flourish veteran stalks of thyme, hoarhound and other medicinal herbs. TOZIZA..

Actress Sues Railroad After, She Says, Brakeman Attacked Her for Opening Window. Chicago, Feb. 16. Because Eva Tanguay, an aetress, and a brakeman employed by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway company disagreed as to the correct amount of air required to properly ventilate a railway car, the railway company has been made defendant in a suit for $100,000 damages, begun yesterday by the actress through her attorneys, Adolph Marks. Miss JTanguay, according to Attorney Marks, alleges that she was assaulted by the brakeman after she had insisted on opening a window of the car. Efforts on the part of the actress to secure air in the car, itis said, resulted in a struggle in which Miss Tanguay was severely injured. When the train reached Des Moines Miss Tanguay and her manager were put in the custody of a policeman at the request of the brakeman, but were later eleased by the chief of police.

" Babes in Toyland," a bright spot cfo the bill board of any theatre, is booked for the Gennett. It requires two ears to carry the scenery and baggage of this company, a thing which of itself bespeaks the completeness of the show.

Teeming with catchy musical numbers, this attraction caused a sensation in Chicago and will be seen Tiere on Friday, February 23, at the Gennett with a company of sixty people.

-WIND-MADE ELECTRICITY

INVENTION MAY PROVE GREAT BLESSING TO FARMERS. Westfield Man Makes a Timely DiscoveryHas" Demonstrated Success of the Invention. . Wind-made electricity holds out the promise of becoming a great boon to rural districts; and the day is near at hand when every farmer who has a windmill, on his grounds can enjoy electric lights and the many other services which electric power is capable of yielding. For many years men have been trying to convert wind power into electricity. R. W. Wilson, of Westfield, Indiana, has worked out a practical method of accomplishing it. : In producing wind-made electricity, Wilson calls upon the windmill to perform its customary" function of pumping water. He leads the water into a hydraulic regulator built on the principal of a water lift, in which the pressure is controlled by weights and from which it is released by means of automatic valves. This regulator is the means of maintaining an even pressure under all conditions, whether the windmill is revolving slow or fast. Under the uniform pressure, the water is passed from the hydraulic chamber through a water motor to which a dynamo is attached. Mr. Wilson demonstrated the success of his invention at his owrn shop in Westfield, which is brightly lighted with wind-made electricity, and to all appearances it equals the steam made product that city folks enjoy. Better Than Spanking. ! Snankintr does not cure children 01 j o bed wetting. There is a constitutional cause for this trouble. . Mrs. M. Summers, Box W. Notre Dame, Ind., will send free to any mother her successful home treatment, with full instructions. Send no money, but write to her today if your children trouble you in this way. Don't blame the child, the chances are it can't help it. This treatment also cures adults and aged people troubled with urine difficulties by day or night. It arouses energy, develops and stimulates nervous life, arouses the courage of youth. It makes you young again. That's what Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea will do. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets.
