An Affable Rogue
Tlie carriage containing the gentle-
Jnau with the reversible cuffs drew up

Arab guides surged and eddied round
lim but their clamor broke against a
composure ns effective as granite The
roar was almost directly succeeded by
a low gurgle as of little waves reced-

"Will you have a boy show' me the
way?"
"I shall myself attend to that If
the room is not what you wish it
may be exchanged”
“The room 1b the one I telegraphed
for I am superstitious to a degree
On three boats I have had fine state-
rooms numbered 208 Twice the num-
ber of my hotel room has been the
same On the last voyage there were
208 passengers and the captain had
made 208 voyages on the Mediterra-
nean” "Quite a coincident”
"Ah if roulette could be played with
not such a certainty”
spoken a word to the Arnbs it was Mr Rynnne sighed hitched up his
rot necessary in some manner subtle bundle which being heavy was begin
end Indescribable they recognized
brother He carried a long cylindri-
cal bundle wrapped in heavy paper
variously secured by windings of thick
twine His regard for this bundle was
cue of tender solicitude for he tucked
it under his arm cumbersome though
it was and waved aside the carriage-
Jjortcr who was however permitted
to carry in the kit bag
The manager appeared When comes
be not upon the scene? His quirk
calculating eye was not wholly as-
sured The stranger’s homespun was
travel-worn and time-worn end of a
cut popular to thp season gone the
year before No fat letter of credit
here was the not unreasonable conclu-
sion reached by the manager Still
with that caution acquired hy years
of experience which had culminated
in what is known as Swiss diplomacy
he brought into being the accustomed
salutatory smile and inquired if the
gentleman had written abend for res-
ervMicn otherwise it would not be
possible to ncfommoriate him
"I t legraphcd” crisply
"The rane if you please ?”
"RygMie rpelled R-y-a douhle-n e
Have ou ccr been in County Clare?”
"No sir” The manager added a
question with the uplift of his eye-
brow s
"Well” was the enlightening an-
fwer "'ou pronounce it as they do
there ”
The manager scanned the little Blip
of paper in his hand "Ah yes we
have i ‘-served a room for you sir
The French style rather confused me”
This was not offered in irony or sar-
casm or satire mining In a Swiss
brain fir the ‘saving grace of humor
is about ns remunerative as the ex-
trnoMon of gold from pea-water Nev-
erthksi the Swiss has the talent of
swiftly Subtracting from a confusion
of id as one point of illumination:
there was a quality to the stranger’s
tone that decided him favorably It
was the voice of a man in the habit
cf brine obeyed and in these days it
was the power of money alone that
obtained obedience to any man Be-
yend this the same nebulous cogita-
tion that had subdued the Arabs out-
side acted likewise upon him Here
V8B a brother
"Mail?”
"I will see sir” The manager sum-
moned a porter “Room 208”
The porter caught up the somewhat
collapsed kit-bag which had in all evi-
dence received some rough usage In
II s time and reached toward the roll
Mr Ryenne in’erposed
"i will see to that my man” terse-
ly "Yes sir”
"Where Is your guest-list?” de-
manded Mr Ryanne of the manager
"The head-porter’s bureau Kir I
vlll see If you have any mall” The
manager passed into his own bureau
It v as rather difficult to tell whether
this man was an American or an Hng-
Hshman His accent was western but
Ms manner was decidedly Hrili-h At
any re to that tone and carriage must
be bnstioned by good English sover-
eigns or tor once Ins judgment was

toral a bucolic name To claim For-
tune for mine own a happy thought”
As he uttered these poesy expres-
sions aloud in a voice low and not un-
pleaMiig for all that it was banter-
ing the head-porter stared at him with
mlngbng doubt and alarm and as if
to pronounce these emotions mutely
for the benefit of the other he per-
mitted l:‘s eyes to open their widest
"Tut t "t that’s all right porter I
am cu i Red with the habit of speaking
my inmost thoughts Some persons
are afflicted with insomnia some fall

ly habit eh?”
Tho porter then understood that he
was dealing not with a species of
mild lunacy but with that kind of
light-hearted cynicism upon which
the world (us porters know It) had Bet
its approving seal In brief he smiled
faintly and if he had any pleasantry
to pass in turn the approach of the
manager now clothed metaphorically
In doferent'nlism rologntod it to
the limbo of things thought but left
unsaid
"Here is a letter for you Mr Ry-
anne Have you any more luggage?”
"No” Mr Ryanne smiled "Shall
I pay for my room in advance?”
"Oh no sir!” Ten years ago tha
manager would have blushed at bay-1
ning to wear upon bis arm and signi-
fied to the manager to lead the way
As they vanished round the corner
to the lift the head-porter studied the
guest-list He had looked over It a
dozen times that day but this was the
first instance of his being really in-
terested In It As his chin was fresh-
ly shaven be bad no Btubble to stroke
to excite his mental processes so
he fell back as we say upon the con-
soling ends of Mb abundant mus-
tache Curious but all these persons
were occupying or about to occupy
adjacent rooms There was tfuly
nothing mysterious about it save that
the stranger bad picked out these very
names us a target for his banter For-
tune Chedsoye it was rather an un-
usual name but as she had arrived
only an hour or so before he could
not distinctly recall her features And
then there was that word bucolic
Ho mentally turned It over and over
as physically he was wont to do with
post-cards left in his care to mail
Ho could make nothing of tho word
except that It smacked of the East
Indian plague
Here ho was saved from further
cerebral agony by a timely interrup-
tion A man who was not of bucolic
persuasion either In dross or speech
urban from the tips of his bleached
fingers to the bulb of his bibulous
nose leaned across the counter and
asked if Mr Horace Ryanne had yet’
arrived Yes ho had just arrived he
was even now on his way to his room
The urban gentleman nodded Then
with a finger slim and well-trimmed
he trailed up and down the guest-list
"Ha! I see that you have the Duke
of Whnt-d'-ye-call from Germany here
I’ll give you my card Send it up to
Mr Ryanne No hurry 1 shall be in
again after dinner”
He bustled off toward the door
Ho was pursy well-fed and decently
dressed the sort of a man who when
ho moved In any direction created the
impression that he had an Important
engagement somewhere else or was
paring minutes from time-tables For
a man in his business It was a clever
expedient deceiving all but those who
knew him He hesitated at the door

long since a maudlin collection of
loose sentences In this letter Mr Ry-
anne found the three parts of life
”She’s a good general but bang
these brimstone efforts of hers She
talks too much of heart For my part
I prefer to regard It as a mere phys-
ical function a pump a motor a pow-
er that gives action to the legs either
in coming or in going more especially
in going” He laughed "Well hers
is the Inspiration and hers 1b the law
And to think that she could plan all
this on the spur of the moment down
to the minutest detail! It’s a science ”
He put the letter away slid out bis
legs and glared at the dusty tips of
his shoes "The United Romance and
Adventure Company Ltd of New
York London and Paris She has the
greatest gift of all the sense of hu-
mor” He rose and opened his kit-bag
doubtfully He rummaged about in
the depths and at last straightened
up with a mild oath
"Not a pair of cufTs in the whole
outfit not a shirt not a collar Oh
well when a man has to leave Bagdad
the way I did over the back fence
so to speak linen doesn't count”
He drew down his cuffs detached
and reversed them he turned his fold-
ing collar wrong-side out and used
the under side of the foot-rug as
shoe-polisher It was the Ingenious
procedure of a man who was used to
being out late nights who made all
things answer all purposes This rapid
and singularly careless toilet com
pleted he centered his concern upon
the more vital matter of finances He
was close to the nadir: four sover-
eigns a florin and a collection of bat-
tered coppers that would have tickled
the pulse of an amateur numismatist
"No vintage to-night my boy no
long fat Havana either A bottle of
stout and a few rags of plug-cut
that's the pace we’ll travel this eve-
ning The United Romance and Ad
venture Company is not listed at pres-
ent If it was I'd sell a few shares
on my own hook Tho kind Lord
knows that I've stock enough and to
spare” He laughed again but with-
out the leaven of humor "When the
fool-killer snatches up the last fool
let rogues look to themselves and
fools are getting scarcer every day
"Percival Algernon! O age of po-
ets! I wonder does he wear high col-
lars and spats or has she plumbed
him accurately? She Is generally
right But a man changes some In
seven years I'm an authority when It
comes to that Look what’s happened
to me in seven years! First Horace
we shall dine then W'e’ll smoke our
pipe in the billiard-room then we’ll
softly approach Percival Algernon

Down the Columns of Visiting Cards
however as if he had changed his
mind In the twenty-odd paces It took
to reach it He stared for a long
period at the elderly gentleman jyho
was watching the feluccas on the
river through the window’ The white
mustache and imperial stood out In
crisp relief against the ruddy sunburn
on his face If he was aware of this
scrutiny on the part of the pursy gen-
tleman he gave not the least sign
The revolving door spun round send-
ing a puff of outdoor air into the
lounging-room The elderly gentleman
then smiled and applied his thumb
and forefinger to the waxen point of
his Imperial
In the intervening time Mr Ryanne
entered his room threw the bundle
on the bed 6at down beside It and
read his letter Shadows and lights
moved across his face frowns that
hardened it smiles that mellowed it

dependent excursion to Bagdad was
a stroke on my part it will work into
the general plan as smoothly as if it
had been grooved for the part Sinbad
I might just as well have assumed
that name: Horace Sinbad sounds
well and looks well” He mused in
silence his hand gently rubbing his
chin for he did possess the trick of
talking aloud in a low monotone a
habit acquired during periods of lone-
liness when the sound of his own
voice hod succeeded lu steadying his
tottering mind
What a woman what a wife she
would have been to the right man!
Odd thing a man can do almost any-
thing but direct his affections they
must be drawn She was not for him
nay not even on a desert isle Doubt-
less he was a fool In time she would
have made him a rich man Alack!
It was always the one we pursued
that we loved and never the one that
pursued us
“I’m afraid of her and there you
are There isn’t a man living who
h&B gone back of that Mona Lisa smile
of hers If she was the last woman
and I was the last man I don’t say”
He hunted for a cigarette but failed
to find one "Almost at the bottom

me all he knows bu( I’m a booby
Twenty-four hundred firm’s money
It’s a failing of mine the firm’s money
But damn it all I can’t cheat a man

He found his pipe and a careful
search of the corners of bis coat-pockets
revealed a meager pipeful of to-
bacco He picked out the little balls
of wool the gr jund-coffee the cloves
and pushed the charge home Into the
crusted bowl of his briar
"To the devil with economy! A

eyes became less hard and his mouth
less defiant "I repeat the heart

into one ear and out the other Even
then you had your chance patience
for two short years and a million No
a thousand times no You knew wb&t

And today two pennies for a dead

He dropped his fist dejectedly
Where had the first step begun? And
where would be the last? In some
drab comer possibly drink mor-
phine or starvation he’d never have
the courage to finish it with a bullet
He was terribly bitter Everything

He went down to dinner and they
gave him a table in an obscure comer
as a subtle reminder that his style was
passe He didn’t care he was hungry
and thirsty He could see nearly every
one evet if only a few could see him
This was somewhat to his vantage He
endeavored to pick out Percival Alger-

collars too many monocles So he
contented himself with a mild philo-
sophical observance of the scene The

Try Giving Joy to Others
Shedding of Sunshine Will Be Found
to Have Good Effect on Those
Who Practice It
It was Mr Barrie who quaintly said:
Women who bring sunshine into the
lief of others cannot keep it from
themselves”
That Is a recipe to learn and apply
If you will not try to be a spreader of
joy for the Joy it gives do bo from
selfish motives
Girls may think this farfetched
Their one thought is to snatch at joy
for themselves It takes experience
perhaps bitter experience to learn
that the joy that counts most Is the
one with a rebound Like a rubber
ball the harder you throw it the
quicker It returns
The girl who Btarts on a Joy quest
for herself cannot say: "I’ll be nice to
poor Marla she has had Buch a stupid
time” and then go about her sunshine
Bhcdding With patronizing airs She
may give joy but the chances are that
her patronage will be felt and resent-
ed The sunshine that counts glows
in the heart and must come out
One need not go into sunshine soci
eties to bask In the rays of Joy giving
Nor need that sunshine be for out-
siders Sunshine-shedding like char-
ity can profitably begin at home It
is not so exciting perhaps to try to
brighten the lives of mother or small
brother or sister as it is to be a Lady
Bountiful but the reflex action is
quite as strong
Try shedding sunshine wherever you
are Do not let a day pass without do-
ing some little thing to brighten that
day for some one else and you will
find your day more Joyful

ran across his tongue and down bis
throat In tingling fire nectarious and
he went half way to Olympus to the
feet of the gods For weeks he had
lived in the vilest haunts in desperate
straits his life in bis open bands and
now once more he had -crawled from
the depths to the outer crust of the
world It did not matter that he was
destined to go down into the depths
again so long as the spark burned
he was going to crawl back each time
Damnable luck! He could have lived
like a prince Twenty-four hundred
and all in two nights a steady stream
of gold into the pockets of men whom
he could have cheated with consum-
mate ease and didn’t A fine wolf
whose predatory instincts were still
riveted to that obsolete thing called
conscience!
"Conscience? Rot! Let us for

caution as fear of publicity anything

Immortality of the soul Heap up the

CHAPTER III
The Holy Yhlordes
George drank bis burgundy perfunc-
torily Had it been astringent as the
native wine of Corsica he would not
have noticed it The little nerves
that ran from his tongue to his brain
had temporarily lost the power of com-
munication And all because of the
girl across the way He couldn't keep
his eyes from wandering in her di-
rection She faced him diagonally
She ate hut little and when the elder-
ly gentleman poured out for her a
glass of sauterne she motioned It
aside rested her chin upon her fold-
ed hands and stared not at but
through her vis-a-vis
It was a lovely head topped with
colls of lustrous light brown hair
an oval face of white and rose and
Ivory tones scarlet lips a small reg-
ular nose and a chin the soft round-
ness of which hid the resolute lift to
it To these attributes of loveliness
was added a perfect form the long
flowing curves of youth not the abrupt
contours of maturity George couldn’t
recollect when he had been bo im-
pressed by a face From the moment
she had stepped down from the car-
riage his interest had been drawn
and had grown to such dimensions
that when he entered the dining-room
his glance immediately searched for
her table What luck in finding her
Across the way! He questioned If he
bad ever seen her before There was
something familiar the delicate pro-
file stirred some sleeping memory but
did not wake it
How to meet her and when he did
meet her how to interest her? If she
would only drop her handkerchief her
purse something to give him an ex-
cuse an opening Ah he was certain
that this time the hydra-headed one
should not overcome him To gain
her attention and to hold It he would
have faced a lion a tiger a wild-elephant
To diagnose these symptoms
might not be fair to George "Love
at first sight” reads well and sounds
well but we hoary-headed philoso-
phers know that the phrase is only
poetical license
Once and only once she looked in
his direction It swept over him with
the chill of a winter wind that he
meant as much to her as a tree a
fence a meadow as seen from the
window of a speeding railway train
But this observation transient as it
was left with him the indelible im-
pression that her eyes were the sad-
dest he had ever seen Why? Why
should a young and beautiful girl have
eyes like that? It could not mean
physical weariness else the face
would in Borne way have expressed it
The elderly man appeared to do his
best to animate her he was kindly
and courteous and by the gentle way
he laughed at intervals was trying to
bolster up the situation with a jest or
two The girl never bo much as smiled
or shrugged her shoulders she was as
responsive to these overtures as mar-
ble would have been
(TO BE CONTINUED)
Mystery of Love
If a man should importune me to
give a reason why I loved him I find
it could no otherwise be expressed
than by making answer because it
was be because It was I There Is

know not what inexplicable and fated
power that brought on thlB union—

Surprise Boxes In Shark Stomachs
Fishermen in the Caribbean sea re-
cently found in the stomach of a shark
which they had killed a good sized
bottle in which was a half-decipherable
letter from a shipwrecked sailor
Many Buch relics have been found In
one case a lady’s bracelet was found
in a state of perfect preservation to-
gether with a silver spoon and a thou-
sand Spanish reals in money The
cuHoub feature of the finding of the
money was that It was in an official
receptacle lost In the city of Spanish
Town (Jamaica) during a negro upris-
ing in the seventeenth century Where
had it been meantime? Surely not In
the Bhark's stomach unless the shark
lives a much longer time (or some of
them) than science has any reason to
suppose possible On the other hand
if in the sea it would have been ren-
dered unrecognizable in a few weeks
Had It been in the possession of some
one shipwrecked why had It been left
Intact? The conclusion was Inevit-

HAPPENED III MILWAUKEE
Man Said to Be a Socialist Fire Bul-
let Into Ex-President's Breast-
Speak Wth Blood Flowng From
Wound — Bullet Lodged In Wall of
Chest— Manucrlpt In Pocket Prob-
ably Saved Life
Wichita Kan Oct 15— Theodors
Roosevelt who eleven years ago was
elevated to the presidency of the Unit-
ed States by an assassin's bullet which
struck down President McKinley was
almost removed from the world’s ac-
tive history last night at Milwaukee
by an assassin’s bullet
He was shot full in the breast by
John Schrenk a laundryman from
New York who is said to be a Social-
ist Although bleeding from the
wound the Colonel waved physicians
aside and insisted upon completing
his evening’s program of speaking at
the Auditorium He was unable how-
ever to make his prepared speech
and finally weakened by loss of blood
submitted to surgeons who rushed him
to an emergency hospital
An X-Ray examination disclosed that
the bullet had penetrated the right
breast and had torn through the ab-
dominal wall The surgeons did not
consider it serious Colonel Roose-
velt was later taken to a special train
which run slowly to reach Chicago
by daylight
The shooting occurred In front of
the Gilpatrick Hotel just as Colonel
Rosevelt had stepped into an automo-
bile which was to take him to the
Auditorium He was standing lifting
his hat in salutation to the throng in
the street and on the sidewalks when
the assassin quickly pushed through
the crowd and fired
Wrapped In his heavy military coat
and with a spectacle case and a heavy
manuscript of his Bpeech In his pock-
et the ex-president once more was
favored by fate The heavy coat the
spectacle case and tlie many pages of
manuscript served as an armor which
absorbed the death speed from the
bullet
Colonel Rooseevlt immediately In-
sisted that he was not seriously hurt
although his friends observed that a
hole was torn through the coat and
that the Colonel’s hand was blood-
stained as he withdrew it from under
the coat
With indominable will he insisted
that hia audience at the Auditorium
he not disappointed “I’ll make this
speech or die trying" he said
The would-be assassin was immedi-
ately pounced upon One of his cap-
tors was Henry Cochems manager for
La Follette and famous as a college
athlete
After the assassin had been turned
over to the police a mob sought to
do him violence Roosevelt himself
begged that the crazed man be spared
Although it was asserted that the
would-be assassin is a Socialist it is
more definitely ascertained that he is
a lunatic who had deliberately planned
the attack Letters found on him
showed that he had studied the
Colonel’s dates and places for making
speeches and also that he had an In-
sane idea of murder
Writings taken from him related his
hallucinations He tells of the ghost
of McKinley visiting him and calls
upon God as his witness that McKin-
ley asked him to murder his succes-
sor Mingled with Buch murderous
spiritualistic ideas the assassin writes
in a religious frenzy and concludes
with a suggestion of Germany’s na-
tional hvmn
No one in the party including the
Colonel himself entertained the slight-
est notion that the Coolnel had been
Bhot He felt no shock or pain at
the time and it was assumed that
the bullet went wild As soon as
Colonel Roosevelt had assured himself
that the would-be assassin was safe
In the hands of the police he gave or-
ders to drive on to the Auditorium
They had driven nearly one of the
four blocks from the hotel to the Au-
ditorium when John McGrath another
of Colonel Roosevelt’s secretaries ut-
tered a sharp exclamation and pointed
to the Colonel’s breast
"Look Colonel” he said “there is
a hole in your overcoat”
Colonel Roosevelt looked down saw
the hole then unbuttoned the big
brown army coat which he was wear-
ing and thrust his hand beneath It
When he withdrew it his fingers were
stained with blood Colonel Rooseevlt
