.ia no place so safe for a confidential
conference as is a hansom driving
through the streets of London. Drive
etlowly toward The Evening Graphite
office," she said to the cabman, pushing
up the door in the roof of the hansom.
Mr. Stoneham took his place beside
.her, and the cabman turned his horse
into the direction indicated.
"Now, Mr. Stoneham, in the first
place, I want 50 golden sovereigns.
How am I to get there within tialf an'
•hour,"
"Good gracious! I don't know. The
banks are all closed, but there is a man
.at Charing Cross who would perhaps
change a check for me. There is a
checkbook in the office."
"Then that's all right and settled.
Mr. Stoneham, there's been some jug-
gling with the public accounts la the
office of the board of public construc-
tion."
"What I A defalcation 1" cried Stone-
ham eagerly.
"No; merely a shifting round."
"Ah I" said the editor in a disap-
pointed tone.
"Oh, yon needn't say 'Ah I' It's very -
serious. It is indeed. The accounts are
calculated to deceive the dear and con-
fiding public, to whose interests all the
daily papers, morning and evening, pre-
tend to be devoted. The very fact of
such deception being attempted, Mr.
Stoneham, ought to call forth the anger
of any virtuous editor."
"Oh, it does, it does! But then it
would be a difficult matter to prove. If
some money were gone, now"—
"My dear sir, the matter is already
proved and quite ripe for your energetic
handling of it. That's what the £50 are
for. This mum will secure for you—to-
night, mind, not tomorrow—a state-
ment bristling with figures which the
board of construction cannot deny. You
will be able in a stirring leading article
to express the horror you undoubtedly
feel at the falsification of the figures,
and your stern delight in doing eo will
probably not be mitigated by the tact
that no other paper in London will
have the news."
"I see," maid the editor, hie eyes
glistening as the magnitude of the idea
began to appeal, more strongly to his.
imagination. "Who makes out this
statement, and how are we to know that
it is absolutely correct t"
"Well, there is a point on which I
wish to inform you before going any
further. It is not absolutely correct.
Two or three errors have been purposely
put in, the object being to throw in-
vestigators off the track if they try to
discover who gave the news to the
press, for the man who will sell me thin
document is a clerk in the office of the
board of public construction. So, you
aee, you are getting the facts from the
inside."
"Well, the traitor ennui to be cover-
ing up his tracks rather effectually.
How did you come to know him,"
"1 don't know him. I've never rest
frim in my life, but it came to my
knowledge that one of the morning pa-
pers had already, made all its plane for
getting this information. The clerk wee
to get £50 for the document, but the
editor and ho are at present negotiat-
ing, because the editor ineiste upon ab-
solute accuracy, while, as I said, the
man wishes to protect himself—to cover
hie tracks, as you say."
"Good gracious!" cried Stoneham,
"I didn't think the editor of any morn-
ing paper in London was eo particular
about the accuracy of wfrat he printed."
The shrewd and energetic dealer in
coins whose little office stood at the
exit from Charing Cross station proved
quite willing to oblige the editor of The
Evening Graphite with 50 eovereigne
in exchange for the bit of paper, and
the editor, handing to Mise Jennie the
envelope containing the gold, saw her
drive off for Brixton (where, at 17 Ru-
pert square, the directory had told her
Mr. Hazel lived), while ho turned, not
to resume his game of dominos at the
cafe, but to his office, to write the lead-

terms the horror he felt at the Motion of
the board of public construction.
It was a little past 7 o'clock when
Miss Baxter's hansom drove up to the
two storied building in Rupert square
numbered 17. She knocked at the door,
and it wae speedily opened by a man
with some trace of anxiety on hie cloud-
ed face, who proved to bo Hazel him-
self, the clerk at the board of public
construction.
"You are Mr. Hazel?" ate ventured,
on entering.
"Yes," replied the man, quite evi-
dently surprised at seeing a lady instead
of the man he was expecting at that
hour, "but I am afraid I will have to
ask you to excuse me. I am waiting
for a visitor who ie a few minutes late
and who may be here at any moment."
"You are waiting for Mr. Alder, are
you not?"
"Yee," stammered the man, his ex-
pression of surprise giving place to one
of consternation.
"Oh, well, that is all right," said
Mies Jennie reassuringly. "I have just
driven from the office of The Daily
Bugle. Mr. Alder cannot come tonight."
"Ah," said Hazel, closing the door.
"Then are yon here in his place?"
"I am here instead of him. Mr. Al-
der is on other business that he had to
attend to at the editor's request. Now,
Mr. Hardwick—that's the editor. you
know"—
"Yes,. I know," answered Hazel.
They were now sitting down in the
front parlor.
"Well, Mr. Hardwick is very anxious
that the figures should be given with
absolute accuracy."
"Of coarse, that would be much bet-
ter," cried the man; "but, you see, I
have gone over all that with Mr. Alder
already. He maid he would mention
what I told him to the editor."
"Oh, he has done so," said Miss Bax-
ter, "and did it very effectively indeed..
In fact, your reasons are quite unan-
swerable. You fear, of course, that yon
will logo your situation, and that is very
important, and no one in The Bugle
office wishes you to suffer for what yen
have done. Of course it is all in the
public interest."
"Of course, of course," murmured
Hazel; looking down on the table.
"Well, have yon all the 'documents
ready, so that they can be published at
any time?"
"Quite ready," answered the man,
"Very well," paid the girl, with de-
eiaion. "Here is your £50. Just count
the money and en that it is correct. I
took the envelope as it was handed to
me and have not examined the amount
myself. "
She poured the sovereigns out on the
table, and Hazel, with trembling fin-
gers, counted them out two by two.
"That is quite right, " be said, rising.
He went to a drawer, unlocked it and
took out a long blue envelope.
"There," he said, with a sigh that
was almost a gasp. "There are the fig-
ures and a full explanation of them.
You will be very careful that my name
does not elip out in any way."
"Oh, no I" said Miss Jennie, coolly
drawing forth the papers from their
covering. "No one knows your name
except Mr. Alder. Mr. Hardwick and
myself, and I can assure you that I
shall not mention your name to nay
0120."
The man had not the slightest sus-
picion that his visitor was not a mem-
ber of the staff of the paper be had been
negotiating with. She was eo thorough-
ly melt possessed and showed herself so
familiar with all details that had been
discussed by Hazel and Alder that no
doubt had entered the clerk's mind.
Miss Jennie placed the papers back
in their blue envelope and bade the
anxious Hazel goodby.
Once more in the hansom, she ordered
the man to drive her to Charing Cross,
and when she was ten minutes away
from Rupert square she changed her
direction and desired him to take her
td the office of The '•Evening Graphite,
whore eh* found Mr. Stoneham busy
with his leading article and impatiently
awaiting further details of the conspir-
acy he was to lay open before the public.
A glance at the papers Miss Baxter
brought to him elbowed Mr. Stoneham
that be had at least got the worth of
his £50. There would be a flattering fa

m•nte before he lett to have the paper

lating his time with exactitude, se that

were filled with impotent anger.
Promptly at 5 o'clock that afternoon
hansom containing Mien Jennie Bax-
ter drove up to the nide entrance of The
Daily Bugle office, and the young wom-
an once more accosted the Irish porter,
who again came out of his den to re-
ceive her.
"Mies Baxter?" said the Waltman,
half by way of salutation and half by
way of inquiry,
"Yes," said the girl.
"Well, Mr, Hardwick left strict or-
ders with ace that if ye came, or rather
that whin ye came, I was to conduct
ye right up to his room at once."
"Oh, that is very satisfactory," cried
Miss Jennie, "and somewhat different
from the state of things yesterday."
The porter led the way to Mr. Hard -
wick's room and announced the visitor.
"Ask her to come in," she heard the
editor say, and the next instant the por-
ter left them alone together.
"Won't you sit down, Mies Baxter?"
said Mr. Hardwick, with no trace of
that anger in him voice which she had
expected. "I have been waiting for you.
You said you would be here at 5, and I
like punctuality. Without heating
round the hush, I suppose I may take
it for granted that The Evening Graph-
ite is indebted to you for what it is
pleased to call the board of public con-
struction scandal?"
"Yes," Grid the young woman, seat-
ing herself. "I came up to tell you that
I procured for The Graphite that inter-
esting bit of information."
"So I suppose, My colleague, Henry
Alder, saw Hazel this afternoon at the
offices of the board. The good man
Hazel is panic stricken at the explosion
he has caused and is in a very nervous
state of mind, more especially when he
learned that his document had gone to
an unexpected quarter. Fortunately for
him, the offices of the board are throng-
ed with journalists who want to get
statements from this man or the other
regarding the exposure, and eo the visit
of Alder to Hazel was not likely to be
noticed or commented upon. Hazel gave
a graphic description of the handsome
young woman wbo bad so cleverly
wheedled the documents from hint and
who paid him the exact sum agreed
upon in the exact way that it was to
have been paid. Alder had not seen you
and has not the slightest idea bow the
important news slipped through his fin-
gers, but when he told mo what had
happened I knew at once you were the
goddess of the machine. Therefore I
have been waiting for yon.
"I would like to ask, Miss Baxter,
how much The Graphite -.said you for
that article over and aboge the £50 yon
gave to Hazel?"
' "Oh, it wasn't a gals sf money
with mei The subject hasn't been dis-
cussed. Mr. Stoneham is not a generous
payer, and that is why I desire to get
ca. a paper which does not count the
coat too closely. What I wished to do
was to convince you that I would be a
valuable addition to The Bugle staff,
for you seemed to be of the opinion
that the etaft was already sufficient and
complete."
"Oh, my staff is not to blame in this
matter! I am willing to take all the
blame for eur defeat on my shoulders,
but there are some other things I ant
not willing to do, and perhaps you are
in a position to clear up a little misun-
derstanding that has arisen in this
office. I suppose I may take it for
granted that you orterheard the conver-
sation which took place between Mr.
Alder and myself in this room yester-
day afternoon ?"
"Well," said Mies Baxter, for the
Bret time in some confusion, "I can en-
sure you that I did not come here with
the intention of listening to anything.

"Oh, I don't want to censure you at

to be certain bow the thing wae dose.
Aa I said, I am willing to take the
blame entirely on my own Moulders. I
don't think I should have made nee of

"To find fault with mel" cried Misr
Jennie somewhat warmly. "That would

with etatietics which he was very re-

point I wish to be sure of is this—you
overheard tho conversation between Al-
ler and myself?"
"Yes, I did."
"Would yon be able to repeat it ?"
"I don't know that I could repeat 1t
word for word, but I could certainly
give the gist of it."
"Would yon have any objection to
telling a gentleman whom I shall call
in a moment, as nearly as possible,
what Alder said and what I said? I
may add that the gentleman I speak of
is Mr. Hempstead, and he is practically
the proprietor of this paper. There has
arisen between Mr. Alder and myeelf a
alight divergence of memory, if I may
call it so, and it seems that you are the
only person who can settle the dispute."
"I am perfectly willing to tell what
I heard to anybody."
"Thank you."
Mr. Hardwick pressed an electric
button, and his secretary came in from
another room.
"Would yon ask Mr. Hempstead to
step this way, if he is in his room?"
In a few minutes Mr. Hempstead en-
tered, bowed somewhat atiftly toward
the lady, but froze up instantly when
he heard that she was the person who
had given the board of public construc-
tion scandal to The Evening Graphite.
"I have just this moment learned.
Mr. Hempstead, that Miss Baxter was
in the adjoining room when Alder and
I were talking over this matter. She
heard the conversation. I have mol
asked her to repent it, but meat for you
at once, and she says she is willing to
answer any questions you may ask."
"In that case. Mr. Tlardwick, would
it not be well to have Henry Alder
hero?"
"Certainly, if he is on thepremises,"
Then, turning to his secretary, he said:
"Would you find out if Mr. Alder le is
hid room? Tell him Mr. Hempstead
wishes to Nee him here."
When Henry Alder came in and the
secretary had disappeared, Miss Baxter
saw at once that she was in an unen-
viable situation, for it was quite evi-
dent the three men were scarcely on
speaking terms with each other. Noth-
ing causes such a state of tension in a
newspaper office as the musing of a
piece of news that is important.
"Perhaps it would be better," our
gested Hardwick, "if Mims Baiter would
repeat the conversation as she heard it."
"I don't eon the use of that," said
Mr. Hempstead. "There is only one
point at issue. Did Mr. Alder warm Mr.
Hardwick that by delay he would less

"Hardly that," answered the girt
"An I remember it, be said, 'Isn't there
a danger that some other piper may got
this?' Mr. Hardwick replied, 'I dent
think lo; tot for three days, at leant,'
and them Mr. Alder said, 'Very good,'
' sir 'Very well,' or something like that.' ,
"That Quite tallies with ray owm re-
membrance,"said Hardwick. "I admit
I am to blame, but I decidedly say that
I was not definitely warned by Mr. Al-
der that the matter would be lost to us."
"I told you it would be had if you
delayed," said Alder, "and it has boon
lost. I have been on the track of this
for two weeks, and it is very galling to
havo missed it at the last moment
through no fault of my own."
"Still," said Mr. Hempstead coldly,
"your version of the conversation does
not quite tally with what Mies Baxter
says."
"Oh, have it as you wish 1" said Alder
truculently, "It doesn't matter in the
least to me. I have taken service on
The Daily Trumpet, and you may con -
eider my place on The Bugle vacant!"
saying which he put his hat on his bead
and left the room.
Mr. Hempstead seethed distressed by
the discussion, but for the lirst time
Mr, Hardwick smiled grimly.

said, "and lack of it is one of Alder's
failings."

In the treatment of deafness which is
often a result of catarrh. Hyomei acts
almost immediately npon the inflamed
membrane and the hearing begins to re-
turn at once.
Mise Meeks of Mattewan, N.Y., says:
"Hyomei is truly wonderful. I have
used it but a short time and nee a great
change iu my condition. My hearing is
improving rapidly and I had no idea I
would improve eo rapidly in eo short a
time. My breath, which was very offen-
sive to myeelf and others, has lost its bad
odor entirely. I have spent a great deal
of money with catarrh specialists, and
can truly say that six menthe of their
treatment is not equal to one of Hyom-
ei."
A complete outfit costs but $1.00, and
consists of an inhaler that can be carried
around in the wet pocket, a medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler will last a lifetime and there is
enough Hvomei for several weeks treat-
ment. Additional bottles of Hyomei
can be procured for 60 cents. Compare
this small expense with the fees charged
by specialists.

Where We Get Lunatics
If one were to ask where we get luna-
tics, some would !naturally point in the
direction of the Loudon Asylum, and it
is altogether probable they would be
right. But that is rather the refuge of
the lunatic, or to he plainer Canada's
dumping ground. It is not the place
they are raised. It would perhaps as-
tonish some of our people who aro doing
so mnch over our great West, to know
that ont of the immense area of laud
comprising the Dominion of Canada, 87
per cent of all lunatics found within her
borders came from the Northwest. The
reason for this is no doubt found in the
fact that many go out there with little
or no capital, and with very little infer•
mation of the country, except that gain-

The Way To Do it.
[Piqua (0,) Call ]
Exercise three times a day;
Feed yourself on simple fare
Mostly made of bran and hay,
Revel in the open air;
Never give wav to yonr fears;
Sleep just like a baby;
Then you'll live a hundred years—
Maybe !
Wear no wraps about yonr throat:
Do not eat late lunches;
Do, oh! do not rock the boat;
Shy away from punches;
Do not drink too many beers;
Let not debts distress;
Tneu'll live a hundred yoars—
More or less.
Don't dispute with men who wear
Larger fists than yon ;
Do not give way to despair,
Though the rent is due;
Do not waste your strength in tears;
As for trouble, scout it;
Then you'll live a hundred years --
Dottier it?
Do not umpire baseball games;
Don't for office run ;
Do not call a fellow names
If he has a gun ;
Unto wisdom lend yonr ears,
Shun the festive schooner;
Then you'll live a hundred yearn --
If yon don't die sooner.
