So declare President Taft in an address in Xe' York City at the fourth annual joii banquet of the Associated Press an the American Newspaper Publisher Association. His address was the fin of a series in which he plans t evoke public sentiment in support < ihs policies, and he appealed to tb company of editors and newspapei owners gathered from all parts of tb land to impress on the public min that reciprocity should stand alon and "ought not to be affected in an regard by other amendments to th tariff law." His recommendation were warmly cheered. ^ The Dutch have taken possessio of Palmas islands, 60 miles southea? of Mindanao, Philippine Islands, lo* ered the United States colors an substituted the flag of Holland. 1 is understood that Washington doe not intend to protest against the a< tion of the Dutch, the United State government regarding the island a valueless. u Edward Tilden, Chicago packei and William C.

Americans are doing more for the children of Guam and the Philippine Islands than for those in the South ern mountain districts of thia country declared Miss Martha S. Gielow ol Washington at the International Con gress on Child Welfare here. She said children in the Southern moun tains were often compelled to walk seven miles to school. More than fcur million American children, she said, were being brought up without educational facilities of any sort. After declaration that annexation is the desired end of the Democrats in pushing reciprocity and a speech by a new member, revealing rumors of a tariff fight in congress featured the debate on the free list bill. Mr. Prince ol Illinois (Rep.) sounded the annexa tion note. President Taft's speech in New York furnished his text He said the pouring of Americans Into the Canadian northwest and the at titude of the Democratic party could mean nothing else than annexation. Attorney General Wickersham will appeal to the Supreme court to sus tain the so-called "corner counts" in the government's indictments of Su gene C. Scales, James A. Patten, Wil liam P. Brown, Frank B. Hayne and Robert M. Thompson, charged with leading the May cotton corner of 1910 on the New York cotton exchange. Judge Noyes, in the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York, sustained all of the counts of the indictment except those charging a corner to fix the price of raw cotton. He condemned the prac tice unreservedly, but held it did not come within the jurisdiction of the law upon which the indictments were based . Attorney General Wicker sham's appeal is from that part of the decision. Speaker Clark does not agree with Senator Root that congress is likely to adjourn by June 1. At the white house where he said he had talked "neighborhood gossip" with Mr. Taft, Mr. Clark declared that nobody in the world knew how long congress would be here. "I know as much about it as Senator Root, and he knows as much about it as I do," said Mr. Clark. "I have attended two special sessions of congress called to revise the tariff which lasted into August. There you are." Under the reapportionment bill, which for the second time passed the house of representatives, the size of that body is increased to 433 mem bers, giving Georgia one additional member. The measure goes to the senate to try its fate there. At the last session the' senate failed to ap prove the Increase in the size of the lcwer branch of congress. What it will do this time is somewhat prob lematical, but the strong hope ls en tertained that the senate will permit the house membership to have its way in this regard. The reported declaration of Ramon Corral, vice president of Mexico, that Americans were fomenting trouble In his country to force Intervention, has encountered the disfavor of the Unit ed States government. The state de partment has called the matter to the attention of Mexico to establish officially wheher the interview with the vice president, in which the state ments are said to have been made, was authentic. The question will be taken up by Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City, and he will demand an answer. MARBI! */AimiaR?f THE: eic TUET MAN IN LOVYEF CQfir/v&tr. /totjsr .net 3oa&3-/v?w?/x, 8YN0PSI3. James Wilson or Jimmy as he ls called by his' friends. Jimmy was rotund and looked shorter than he really was. His ambition in life was to be taken seriously, but people steadily refused to do so. his art is considered a huge Joke, except to himself, if he asked people to dinner ev oryone expected a frolic. Jimmy marries Bella Knowles; they live together a year and are divorced. Jimmy's friend? ar range to celebrate the first anniversary of nts divorc?. Thoso who attend the party are Miss Katherine McNalr. who every one calls Kit. Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Brown, the Misses Mercer. Maxwell Reed ?nd a Mr. Thomas Harbison, a 8outh American civil enginoer. The party ls In full swing when Jimmy receives a tele gram from his Aunt Selina, who will ar rive in four hours to visit him and his wife. Jimmy gets his funds from Aunt Belina and after he marries she doubles his allowance. He neglects to tell her of his divorce, as she le opposed to lt Jim my takes Kit Into his confidence, he tries to devise some way i?o that his aunt will not learn that he has no longer a wife. He suggests that Kltplay the hostess for one night, be Mrs. wilson pro tem. . Kit refuses, but ls finely prevailed upon to act the part. Aunt Selina arrives and the ?eceptlon works out as planned, as she ad never seen Jim's wife. Jim's Jap servant ls taken ill. his face ls covered With spots. Bella. Jimmy's divorced wife, enters the hoMse and neks Kit who ls be ing taken away In the ambulance? Bella Insists it ls Jim. Kit tells her Jim ls well and ls in the house. Bella tells Kit lt wasn't Jim she wanted to see. but Taka hlra. the Jap servant as she wished to secure his services. CHAPTER IV. (Continued.) "Ifs Immoral," I protested. "It's .inmoral to steal your-" "My own butler!" she broke In Im patiently. "You're not usually so scrupulous, Kit Hurry! I hear that hateful Anne Brown." So we slid back along the hall, and I rang for Takahlro. But no one came. "I think I ought to tell you. Bella," I said as we waited, and Bella was staring around the room-"I think you ought to know that Miss Carutbers is here." Bolla shrugged her shoulders. "Well, thank goodness," she said. "I don't have to see her. The only pleasant thing I remember about my year of married life is that I did not meet Aunt Selina." I rang again, but still there was no answer. And then it occurred to me that the stillness below stairs was al most oppressive. Bella was noticing things, too, for she began to fasten her veil again with a malicious little smile. "One of the things I remember my late husband Baying," she observed, "was that he could manage this house, and had done lt for years, with flaw less service. Stand on the bell. Kit" I did. We stood there, with the table, just as lt had been left be tween us and waited for a response. Bella was growing Impatient She raised her eyebrows (she ls very handsome, Bella is) and flung nut her chin as if she had begun to enjoy the horrible situation. I thought I heard a rattle of sliver from the pantry just then, and I hur ried to the door in a rage. But the pantry was empty of servants and full of dishes, and all the lights were out but one, which was burning dimly. I could have sworn that I saw one of the servants duck into the stairway to the basement, but when I got there the stairs were empty, and something was burning in the kitchen below. Bella had followed me and was peer ing over my shoulder curiously. "There isn't a servant in the house," she said triumphantly. And when we went down to the kitchen, she seemed to bo right It was in disgraceful or der, and one of the bottles of wine that had been banished from the din ing room sat half empty on the floor. "Drunk!" Bella said with conviction.' But I didn't think so. There had not been time enough, for ono thing. Sud denly I remembered the ambulance that bad been the cause of Bella's ap pearance-for no one could believe her silly story about Takahlro. I simply left her there, stnrlng helpless ly at the confusion, and ran upstairs again; through the dining room, past Jimmy and Aunt Selina, past Leila Mercer and Max, who were flirting on the stairs, up, up to the servants' bed rooms, and there my suspicions were verified. There was every evidence of a hasty flight; In three bedrooms five trunks stood locked and ominous, and the closets yawned with open door, empty. Bella had been right; there was not a servant in the house. As I emerged from the untidy empti ness of the servants' wing, I met Mr. Harbison coming out of the studio. "I wish you would let me do some of this running about for you,' Mrs. Wilson," he said "gravely. "You are not well, and I can't think of anything worso for a headache. Has the but ler's Illness clogged the household ma chinery?" "Worse," I replied, trying not to breathe In gasps. "I wouldn't be run ning around-like this-but there ls not a servant In the house! They have gone, tho entire lot" "That's odd," he said slowly. "Gone! Are you sure?" In reply I pointed to the servants' wing. "Trunks packed," I said trag ically, "rooms empty, kitchen and pan tries full of dishes. Did you ever hear of anything like lt?" "Never," he asserted. "It makes me suspect-" What he suspected he did not say; instead he turned on his heel, without a word of explanation, and ran down the stairs. I stood star ing after him, wondering if ev'ry one In tho place had gone crazy. Then I heard Betty Mercer scream and the rest talking loud and laughing, and Mr. Harbison came up the stairs again two at a time. "How long has that Jap been ailing, Mrs. Wtlson?" he* asked. "I-I don't know," I replied helpless ly. "What ls tho trouble, anyhow?" "I think he probably lias something contagious," he said, "and it has scared the servants away. As Mr. Brown said, he looked spotty. I eug gested to your husband that it might be as well to got tho house emptied In casu wo are correct." ' "Oh. yea, by all means." I said eagerly. 1 couldn't get away ico soon. Til go ?:id get my-" Then I r-touped. .MAN ES 5 ODWEIflluW >CULAR tSTAlRCAOE^ I TEN, ETC. Why, the man wouldn't expect me to leave; I would have to- play out the wretched farce to the end! "I'll go down and see them off," 1 finished tamely, and we went together down the stairs. Just for the moment I forgot Bella altogether. I found Aunt Selina bonneted and cloaked, taking a stirrup cup of Pomona for her nerves, and the rest throwing on their wraps in a hur ry. Downstairs Max was telephoning for his car, which wasn't due for an hour, and Jim was walking up and down, swearing under his' breath. With the prospect of getting rid of them all, and of going home comfort ably to try to forget the whole wretch ed affair, I cheered up/quite a lot I oven played up fay part of hostess, and Dallas told me, aside, that I was a brick. Just then Jim threw open the front door. There was a man on the top step, with his mouth full of tacks, and he was nailing something to the door, just below Jim's Florentine bronze knocker, and standing back with his head on one side to see if it was straight "What are you doing?" Jim de manded fiercely, but the man only drove another tack. It was Mr. Har bison who stepped outside and read the card. It said "Smallpox." "Smallpox," Mr. Harbison read, as if he couldn't believe it Then he turned, to us, huddled in the hall. "It seems it wasn't measles, after all," he said cheerfully. "I move we get into Mr. Reed's automobile out there, and have a vaccination party. I suppose even you blase society folk have not exhausted that kind of diver sion." But the man on the step spat his He Was Nailing Soi tacks in his hand and spoke for the first time. "No. you don't," he said. "Not on your life. Just step back, please, and close the door. This house is quar antined." CHAPTER V. From the Tree of Love. There is hardly any use trying to describ? what followed. Anne Brown began to cry, and talk about the chil dren.' (She went to Europe once and stayed until they all got over the whooping cough.) And Dallas said he had a pull, because his mill controlled I forgot how many votes, and the thing to do was to be quiet and com fortable and we would get out in the morning. Max took it os a huge joke, and somebody found bim at the tele phone, calling up his club. The Mer cer girls were hysterically giggling, and Aunt Selina sat on a stiff-backed chair and took aromatic spirits of am monia. As for Jim, he had collapsed on the lowest step of the stairs, and sat there with his bead in his hands. When he did look up, he didn't dare to look at me. The Harbison man was arguing with the impassive individual on the top step outside, and I saw him get out his pocketbook and offer n crisp bundle of bills. But the man from the board of health only smiled and tacked at his offensive sign. After a while Mr. Harbison came in and closed the door, and we st?red at one another. "I know what I'm going to do," I said, swallowing a lump in my throat "I'm going to get out through a base ment window at the back. I'm going home." "Home!" Aunt Selina gasped, jumping up and almost dropping ber ammonia bottle. "My dear Bella! Home?" Jimmy groaned at the foot of the stairs, but Anne Brown was getting over her tears and now she turued on mo in a temper. "It's all your fault," she said. "I was going to stay at home and get a little sleep-" "Well, you can sleep now," Dallas broke in. "There'll be nothing to do but sleep." "I think you haven't grasped the ?niuation. Dai, ' 1 said icily. "There will be plenty to do. There Isn't a servant in the house!" "No servants!" everybody cried at once. The Mercer girls stopped gig gling "Holy cats!" Max stopped In the act of hanging up bis overcoat "Do you mean-why. I can't shave myself I I'll cut my bead off." "You'll do more than that," I re torted grimTy. "You will carry coal and .tend Ares and empty ash pans, and when you are not doing any of those things there will be pots and pans to wash and beds to make." Then there was a row. We had worked back to the den now, and I stood in front of the fireplace and let the storm beat around me, and tried to look perfectly cold and indifferent, and not to see Mr. Harbison's shocked face. No wonder he thought them a lot of savages, browbeating their host? ess the way they did. "Ifs a fool thing anyhow," Max Reed wound up, "to celebrate the an niversary of a divorce-especially-" Here he caught Jim's eye and stopped. But I had suddenly remem bered. Bella down In the basement! Could anything have been worse? And of course she would have hys teria and then turn on me and blame me for lt all. It all came over me at once and overwhelmed me, while Anne was crying and saying she wouldn't cook If she starved for it, and Aunt Selina was taking off her wrapB. I felt queer all over, and I sat down suddenly. Mr. Harbison was looking at me, and be brought me a glass of wine. "It won't be so bad as you fear," he said comfortingly. "There will be no danger once we are vaccinated, and many hands make light work. They are pretty raw now, because the thing ls new to them, but by morning they will be reconciled." "It isn't the work: It is something entirely different," I said. And it was, Bella and work could hardly be spoken in the same breath. If I had only turned her out as she deserved to be, when she first came, instead of allowing her to carry through the wretched farce about see ing Takahiro! Or if I had only run to the basement the moment the house was quarantined, and got her out the area way or coal hole! And nethlng to the Dcor. now time was flying, and Aunt Selina had me by the arm, and any moment I expected Bella to pounce on us through the doorway and the whole situation to explode with a bang. It was after eleven before they were rational enough to discuss ways and means, and, of course, the first thing suggested was that we all adjourn be low stairs and c'ean up after dinner. I could have slain Max Reed for the notion, and the Mercer girls for taking him up. "Of courser we will," they said in a duet. "What a lark!" And they actu ally began to pin up their dinner gowns. It was Jim who stopped that "Oh, look here, you people," he ob jected, "I'm not going to let you do that. We'll get some servants In to morrow. I'll go down and put out the lights. There will be enough clean di6hes for breakfast" It was lucky for me that this started a new discussion then and there about who would get the breakfast In the midst of the excitement I slipped away to carry the news to Bella. She was where I had left her, and she had made herself a cup of tea, and was very much at home, which was natural. "Do you know," she said ominously, "that you have been away for two hours? And that I have gone through agonies of nervousness for fear Jim Wilson would come down and think I came here to see him." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Another Kind. "Ha!" said the Russian count with a fierce scowl on his Muscovite fea tures.
