tesJ m ii wiiJ , I fertile (Qtt im . r KyieaV ani? I

President Bavli of the board of pub lie - works today demanded of 8upt Klelnknecht an explanation for his action in not reimbursing the Richmond Light, Heat & Power company for the city's share of the cost of a number

of poles erected under the Joint pole agreement. The bill ' submitted amounted to $514.88. Of this amount 8126.60 was contracted for poles erected in 1908. President Bavls asked if personal controversies between flupt. Klelnknecht and Manager Johnson of the I. H. & P. bad anything, to do with the city's failure to pay the bill. Superintendent. Klelnknecht said that . he was perfectly . willing to pay over to the Light. Heat &. Power company all except the $126.60 contracted seven years ago. He said the city plant had no record of poles erected

that year. "The plant won't pay for anything it does not know anything about." Klelnknecht said. The re

mainder of the indebtedness was contracted in July last year. Approves Plat..'.,

M. GORKY PROTESTS RUSSIAN RIOTING

After the anti-German riots In Mes-

tow the famous Russian poet and wrl

ter Maxim Gorky issued a protest against this outburst of race hatred. Before the central body of the Labor organizations of Moscow he warmly praised the German , nation and its army. The newspapers were not permitted to print a word of what he said,

but the text of his speech was smuggled to Stockholm and has now arrived here. He said In part: "Atrocities occur In all wars and

Qerman soldiers may have acted cruel

ty In some cases, but It Is more than foolish to take revenge by attacking nd abusing the German worklngmen

n Russia. Russia needs German In

telligence and German mechanics. We

cannot get along without the foreign

ers, because our own worklngmen are not educated enough to replace them. If you drive the Germans away you will have to Import Frenchmen and Englishmen and I doubt very much whether this will be to our advantage. I know the German worklngmen In the Volga-districts. They are sober, Industrious and peaeable and always ready to lend a helping hand to their

neighbor. The French and the Eng.

Ilsh workers In the same districts I found to be quarrelsome and only looking for soft snaps." California date growers have recently received new palm trees from Africa.

Her Husband's Widow ey edmund b.dauvergne

If Oswald had been more liberal and left him something more than a miterable 95,000 by that last will which be bad signed In the boat, he might bare posted it to Leslie Instead of popping it on the fire. He wondered If after all he had not acted too nastily Is that matter. - What had become of Oswald's earlier will? Probably, as he had remarked to Mrs. Mcl&s, the dead man had destroyed it in a fit of rage Immediately after the dlscorery of Leslie's relations with Steele. Mean time the lawyers were hunting bitfh and low for It. If it should turn up and put little James in possession beyond all Question of the greater part of his father's wealth, he, Sir Ralph, would have reason to regret having begun an action to dispossess him. No, he must go slowly. He could not

dare to enter on this fight without the certainty of victory. If only that fool of a woman could be persuaded to retract her declaration all would be plain

sailing, for he did not suppose the

court would accept Victor's word

against her flat denial. Meanwhile he must not let the grass grow under his feet even if he had to spend a little money. He spent another-day thinking It over, hoping also to receive some intimation of a change of attitude from

Jenny. Then he made his way to the

city and called at the offices of the Aquldaban Syndicate. He found Erdsley, as he had expected, alone. His partner was not the man he would have chosen for the business in hand, but he could not afford to employ a private detective or inquiry agfent. In the lawyers who undertook cases of this sort as a speculation he had no confidence. He took the cigar out of his mouth and contemplated his confederate's undistinguished countenance. "How would you enjoy a trip to England, dear boy?" he asked, "I'd go to a hotter place than that if I was well paid for it," replied Mr. Erdsley, conscious of having expressed the very quintessence of worldly wisdom. "This," said the baronet, "will be a more expensive journey than to that other place. You remember that discovery you made at Somerset House?" "Yes, I do; and I should like to know if you have made anything out of it. You've been so beastly busy about Varney's affairs that I began to hope he had lewt you a good few thousands. Well, get on with it about Egypt." Mr. Erdsley leaned back and looked sulkily at the baronet. "It's like this. Mrs. Melas has the audacity to say that she was married to Steele before he went through that ceremony at Hounslow. I don't believe it, and I'm interested for various reasons in disproving it. On the other

hand, if it's true, we might lay Master Steele by the . heels on. a criminal charge." ' "And nothing wotdd give me greater pleasure," erted Srdeley, "Very well," eotttiftced Sir Ralph. "We can easily trace Steele' moremeets from the moment he joined the army. She says they were married in Egypt five or ete years ago by as Armenian priest I wast you to nip out there as fast as you can and look op all the records and registers and get at the truth of this one way or mother. You ought to be able to do the whole thing on $600, Erdsley reflected on this proposal. He would not be sorry to be absent from England for the nest few months. He hated Steele tor the affronts he had twice put upon him, with an intensity hardly to be expected of bis mean character. "Can't do it under $ 1,000," he said laconically. "Ill make it 9750," said Sir Ralph slowly, "and give you $250 more when you place positive information, in my bands one way or another. "Done," aaid Mr. Erdriey, Til go by the next boat. I shall not be sorry," he said, with a grin, "to leave you to face the next general meeting." In the early days of her second widowhood Leslie's predominating feeling was one of utter loneliness. Reves was overpoweringly vast and solitary now that Oswald's good-natured, cheery personality was withdrawn. She missed his companionship more than ehe would have believed possible a few months before. They had always been good friends till the night of that memorable scene. How glad she was now that they had parted with something like the old tenderness. It was rather fine of him to fight a duel on her behalf. In their bright life together in London, or travelling, she had made many acquaintances but few friends. Now once more she was alone in the worjd. Frequently her memory traveled back to her first widowhood as she had believed it to be. She saw herself again prostrated in an agony of grief beside the couch in the Notting Hill lodgings. But the days that had followed had

been less desolate than these. Then i grief had been numbed by work and ; constant activity, by cheery compan- 1 ionship and the sympathy of her gir; friend. Now servants came and went j

reverently, noiselesslw, emphasizing in their expression and gestures their sense of her bereavement. Thft solemn business of the funeral had brought

home to her the finality of death. Then j

she had been looked on tenderly, lovingly, as a girl who was mourning for her lost sweetheart ; now she seemed to be set on a monument, an unapproachable statue of widowhood.

Perhaps hie perfidy bad left her more kmely than this later bereavement, Osly a month ago bow gladly ehe would have turned to him for sympathy and put her hand once more in his. But he had killed her faith in banian nature. She did not want his sympathy. Yet Sir Ralph had said that he and Oswald had shaken hande, had apparently been reconciled after their encounter on the sands at wtogwy The baronet had not heard the words they bad exchanged. She wondered what Victor could hare said thus to disarm her husband's wrath. And he bad fired his pistol in the air. . He had stood calmly awaiting death and had not defended himself. That did not seem the action of a scoundrel. Leslie's brain was in a turmoil of doubts and wanderings. What strange contradictions there were in Victor's character a capacity for sustalaed duplicity allied to an almost quixotic chivalrousness. She would have given much to know what were the last words he exchanged with Oswald; but Oswald was dead, and him she could never ask. To Be Continued.
