Incontinently Mr. Barr signified his #atisfaction with Suite 201, and de sired his luggage to dbe brought up immediately, and fumed and fretted and fussed about getting his trunks unpacked, so that he might change from his traveling clothes, until his body servant, Juan Lopez, all but for.

The discovery had been a night mare for both the gangs, for, after Saking possession of the Hrockion gang and bundling them unceremo- Blously into the patrol wagon, Holmes And his men had driven over to the Palmer residence, where Grace and Mrs. Paimer had been rudely awak ened and forced to swell the ranks of ' those already taken Lidttle had been said on the wi) up,' for the ride was chilly.

They bad been the claver loaders. but hey would also be the ones to suffer in search of the party of three, walk ing at a pace which went ofdly with the ldle manner he promptly assumed the instant he hove In sight of his quarry. He had guessed, and shrewdly, that the three were bound for a walk in Central Park, TLovers' luck guided his footsteps that he, without undue lose of time, espied them on the hor ders of the little lake just north of the Mall. Ingenuously surprised and glad, he hastened to join the party as soon after their discovery of him as suf ficed to register his aimless purpose in ochoosing’ the park for his initial stroll, ‘ His effort at deception was so transparent that Muriel Manwaring "hud to stifle a giggle. Nevertheless, she proved herself the owner of a ‘klnd heart by hastening to maneuver iher brother from attendance on Miss Simond and so permit Mr. Barr to ‘lfl-nmplluh his design, thus proving ‘lhut woman's intuition is a penetrat ‘ln' thing, since Murfel knew what Phillp didn’t, that he entertained a "duln‘ - On his part he discoversd it only ‘when feminine strategy had removed an openly mutinous Robert Manwar ing beyond sight and earshot of Phillp and Julia. Then, suddenly, the former found himself stricken with a temporary ‘but distreqging paralysis of the vocal chords. \ They were loitering across a little arched bridge. Midway Julia paused to look westward over the waters that glowed like a vast field of black opal with the swiftly fading glory of the autumnal sunset. There was a hint of frost in the evening alr. A soft, rich color glowed in the face of the girl. Her eves were darkling pools of gentle shadow. Framed In rare furs, her head seemed to Phillp the most exquisite thing he had ever viewed. He seemed to lose consclousness of self in the flood of his desire to fold her In his arms and lay the warmth of his lips against the coolness of her cheeks. Her hand, In Its small white glove, rested upon the rustic rall of the bridge. Without definite appreciation of what he did, Philip closed his own hand over it the morning when they arrived at el number in one of the husiest streels of New York, and were bundled out As unceremoniously as they had been Wundled in, They all ex claimed when they discovered that it was not jail. Well, it didn't mat ter much, thought Tom: this place wWas probably tb.'ofllce of some of the big fellows, probably of Ferris himself, who was about to crow over them all. That would be the bardest thing to bear, that knowl edge that Ferris had been smarter than they, that he had beaten them 80 cleverly at their own game. And then a strange thing hap pened, stranger to Tom than to any- Oone else. Ruth disappeared. It looked ominous. Left to themselves In & sus picious office, the gang looked care fully around. It was a pleasant enough place, a typical office room well furnished and practical, There 'wm t'x‘“hm windows and the awn ings ou bad not yet been taken down.

And Philip failed to find his tongue too long; when at length he was able to speak coherently the time to speak was too long past. He heard himself gossiping inanely of utterly uninteresting matters. And those moments of priceless op portunity sped beyond recall with the speed of light., He hardly appreciated that they had left the park before he found himself standing, hat Jn hand, on the doorstep of the Manwaring residence, saying good-night,’ while Julia waited for the footman to an swer her ring. Then fortune chose to favor Mr. Barr for a littls. Instead of the foot man, Bob Manwaring opened the door, the messenger of his mother’'s invitation to” Philip to come in for tea, The infatuated young man went in for tea. He was profoundly grateful to Mrs. Manwaring, but two minttes after he had come into her presence he heartily wished her a thousand miles away. It was not that she was ungracious, but that she was—like her children—very much an obstacle to his desires. Tt had needed only the company of others to ’restore his mental equiltbrium. Now he knew what he wanted and how to express himself-—and there was no possible opportunity. ~ Again fortune seemed to smile. Mrs. Manwaring was called away by" some immaterial detall of domestic man agement. Bob had already taken - The Woman of It {OTHER of the wholesale marry- Aen has been overtaken by the law. Having swindled a score or more of women, having married a half dozen or so without subsequent diverce proceedings, and caused the suicide o&{ne who had less heart re bound than the others, he has been lodged in the Tombs, the New York prison. While he waits he talks. He s making the usual speeches of whole sale marryers and swindlers about women. “Tell them you fell in love with them the first time you saw them. That always gets them.” “Women are easy marks." “They can all be fooled ilf you begin talking love to them.” “I am sorry it hap pened, but part of the fault is theirs.” I am ashamed. I am always ashamed when a multiple husband boasts that women are silly little moths, burning themselveg at the flame of love. Aren't you ashamed that this can be sald with some de gree of truth of us? Men say it is because we are valn that a compliment changes the color of the world for some of us. 1 grant that is true of some women I know. But behold and beneath the gullibil ity of women in matters of romance there !s a deeper and more funda mental truth, _—— | Everyone likes to be approved. The most rudimentary of human units, the eight year old papoose, or the grown Hottentot, Is gratified by the praise won by the fish brought from the pond, or the deer hung over the shoulder as trophy of the day's hunt. Love of apptobation Is as natural as hair or teeth. A woman should not be blamed for possessing a trait so human. After another generation a woman will be better pleased if she Is praised for the work of her brain or her hands than for her c's:. or her complexion. But that ti is still years away. Pretty eyes and skin ‘md hair have been thelr trade marks 'ef success for so many centuries that we can't expect women all at once to ignore the old and honored label .

Every days’ newspaper spieads the story of theft, or fraud or em bezziement in the pursuit of money. Disgrace wrought by the pursuit of wealth is common. Disgrace caused by the craving for lowe is set down himself off in a fit of sulks. Muriel hastened to efface herself. Philip grasped at this chance with the fa bled fatuity of the drowning man and the straw. He found himself surprisingly seated beside Julla on a settee. He had no coherent idea how this had come to pass or how it happened that he_ held in his her unresisting hands, of how he had found heart to say what he heard his tongue saying? “l love you * * * I want nothing in the world but to make you happyv * * *lf you will marry me * * » At this juncture fortune proved herself anew-n cruel jade. Julia de layed her response. Her head was averted, but her tremulous hands stilly suffered his clasp. He bowed his lips to them. And, like a thunderclap, there broke upon his senses the ultra- English accents of the Manwaring footman: “Bég pardon, Miss Simond—ahem! —there’s a person within to see you In the ’allway. She says this will explain ‘er business.” Julia freed her hands hastily and rose, taking an envelope from the sal ver proffered by the footman. Open - j ing it, she withdrew a message writ- fi ten on a Commercial Cable form; Philip could not help noticing that detail. It took her but an Instant t read it. She swayed a little, then steadied herself by grasping the back of the settee, » (To Be Cosptinued Tomorrow.) as evidence of mental aberration., Yet the last craving is more fundament - ally human than the first. “The woman who makes a fool of herself over a man who eares noth« Ing for her” is the butt of a com munity’s jokes. But when a man’s ship of affairs goes aground because he wanted to get rich quickly that is regarded as a tragedy. I wish women were strong enough, sane enough, clear-eyed empugh to avold wholesale marryers, the swind lers of hearts and purses. I wish they walked so earefully in the path of life that they never stumbled. But if they did, how uncompanionable they would be to men, the stumblers! The less men say about the heart mistakes made by women the better. The only reason theirs do not come #0 readily to the surface is that they find a deeper hiding place for them. As it Is, whose silly love letters adorn the dally newspapers after a day's reading of them in court in a breach of promise case? Men's, " Who is it who tell the unsympe - thetic courts that their wives never really_loved them, that they have every reason to believe they weres married for their money. Men.
