He ptlshed the refugee toward the
machine and saw him wriggle beneath
it, then heard Mariano’s agitated voice
calling In the hotel. An instant later
the mnltre d’hotel rushed out to the en-
trance gates and threw them wide
open, revealing two carabinieri with-
out. who immediately entered. Then
ensued n conversation In Italian that'
was pure Sanskrit to Pike, who looked
on with c:,lrn interest. The command
ant of the file addressed the lawyer in
a long speech, to which Pike smiled
and waved a cigar.
"Wishing you many happy returns,
colonel," he said genially, and Mariano
hastened forward.
"It is the robber of Russia. They
think be climb the wall, the assassin
The others, they surround all yonder.
These two. they search here. They ask

"No." replied Daniel shortly, turnlug
away.
"They ask. then, has any one crossed

"No.” replied Daniel, and as ho spoke
one of the men pointed bis gun be-
neath the ear at the figure in the long

were agitated violently and the head
of Ijjdy Creech popped out of the case-
ment with the suddenness of a Punch.
From the keen look on her face one
might have imagined that had It not
been for her deafness she might have
beard every word of the conversation
that had gone on below her. As it was,
after gazing anxiously in the direction
Of the road she withdrew her bead
sharply and within a minute came out
of the door of the hotel just in time to
encounter Horace and Mme. de Cham-
plgny coming in from the grove. She
approached them at once.
"Have you seen my brother?” she
demanded excitedly. “Where Is Lord
Hawcastle?”
Horace looked at her with surprise.
“On the other side of the garden.
Lady Creech,” he answered, “down
there on the terrace," and watched,
with some amusement, the speedy ef-
forts of the grim old lady as she hur-
ried off. The amusement, however,
rapidly gave place to a more interest-
ing pastime, for, summoning all his
callow courage, he set himself vigor-
ously to hint at a possible union be-
tween himself and the noble countess.
It was evident from the first word
that the lady was prepared for him
and that, while she intended to offer
him every bit of encouragement in her
power, she would not be satisfied with
anything short of a definite pro]>osal
and more likely before witnesses if
possible.
Ho made his initial move with some
gayety. She returned his banter with
a mock seriousness and in answer to
his challenge on her somber mood re-
plied:
"But 1 cannot believe you are al-
ways serious, my friend.”
“Try me,” be demanded eagerly.
"Set me some task to prove how sort-
one J am.’^ She smiled at him.

German’s arm.
“The man’s down,” he said gently.
“You wouldn't go back oa him now?"
He waited an instant and then chuc-
kled grimly in a thin, humorous way.
"Besides, you've made yourself one of
his confederates, doc,” be finished.
As he spoke Von Grollerhagen
glanced at him quickly, and his eyes
took on a tinge of surprise.
“Upon my soul, but I have, my
friend!” Then be laughed outright.
“Ah, from the first sight of you in the
hotel at Napoli I saw that yon were a
great man.”
Daniel looked at him and grinned in
his face.
"What you doing, doc—running for
congress?” he asked, and the German
joined him in the huinor of the situa-
tion and then turned gravely to the
Russian.
"I fear the carabinieri did not depart
without suspicion.”

“You have heard my friend say it.”
"I have your permission. Herr von

“Is it necessary?”
"Otherwise they will not depart.”
“Very well; tell them. But I rely
upon them to preserve my incognito
from all others.”
Mariano smiled.

was a pathetic figure as be emerged

“To you both I give thanks”—
Von Grollerhagen cut in:
"My American friend has placed

penal code of Italy for protecting you.
Perhaps you will be good enough to
let us know for what we have incrim-

THREE SIDES TO ONE STORY.
Fort Worth patrons of the South-1
western Telephone company are rais-
tog sand about the service they are
receiving. The commissioners are
having the different sides to the story
and at one hearing three sides to the
etory were developed—one from the
district manager, one from the pa-
tron (by lb® w*y. a former resident
oi Denton) and the third phase
from one of the telephone girls who ,
wrote to Commissioner Maddox.
District Manager Henderson sail:
"We are not sitting down
saying the public be damned,
want to give the best possible ser-
vice. Service is like molasses and
calico and can be sold when it is
good and hot sold when it is poor.
I can promise you perfect service
when all the trains come into Fort
Worth on time, when every passen-
ger can get a seat in »■ street car;
when the groceryman sends the right
package out to your wife when you
have company; when Uncle Sam de-
livers the mail on time and to the
right man; when the genius of man
Institutes apparatus that is perfect,
when nature will evolve a perfect
operator out of common clay, and
when that same nature will provide
a perfect set of subscribers.’•
R. M. Kelso said he protested oi
behalf of the Empire Grain company,
long distance being the cause of their
trouble. He told the commiss'on that
his firm had houses in Wicaita, Kan.,
and Oklahoma City, and tbat they
were in frequent telephone communi-
cation with them. He said that the
company routed his calls through
Dallas and Joplin. Mo., and conse-
quently consumed from thirty min-
utes to five hours. He couldn't ua-
derstand why the Gainesville and
Oklahoma City route was not used, abroad to arrange with her the busi-
eaying that the only satisfactory talk
I ever had with Wichita had
been via Oklahoma City, and that
once when he was unable to complete
a deal because of the poor connection
he had vone to the telephony office
and raised a row with everybooy
from the janitor up to the superin-
tendent. It takes the girl from one-
half to five minutes to answer local
calls.” he said, “and °n one occasion
It took her ten minutes.” He was
also of the opinion that the telephone
company was running a kindergarten
a d suggested that a strong petition
from the commission, asking that
better service be instituted, would
have a lot of weight if it was sent to
the general offices of the company
at Dallas "
And last, but by no means least,
the letter from one of the telephone
operators put forth their side of the
matter thus:
“People in this city seem to think

have been caused by letting Mfe t

“The Italian journals call me a
brigand.” said the Russian, “and in
this they are inspired by the Russian
legation at Rome. 1 am known as
Ivanoff Ivanovitch, and I have spent
nine years in Siberia, nine years of

peated. “It was for Russia's sake, not
