"Yes, just a moment or so ago," replied the stranger. "She got Into an automobile at the corner. I Imagine this is hers," and he extended a handkerchief, a dainty, perfumed trifle of lace. "I picked It up Immediately after she passed." Mr. Grimm took the handkerchief and examined It under the light. For a time he was thoughtful, with lowered eyes, which, ilnally raised, met those of the stranger with a scrutinizing stare. "Why," asked Mr. Grimm slowly and distinctly, "why did you til am the door In the girl's face?" "Why did I what?" came the answering question. "Why did you slam the door In the girl's face?" Mr. Grimm repeated slowly. The stranger stared In utter amazement an amazement so frank, so unacted, so genuine, that Mr. Grimm was satisfied. "Did you see a man come out of the door?" Mr. Grimm pursued. "No. Say, young fellow, I guess you've had a little too much to drink, haven't you?" But by that time Mr. Grimm was turning the corner. CHAPTER V. liant womai agent?"

The bland serenity or Mr. Campbell's face was disturbed by thin, spidery lines of perplexity, and the guileless blue eyes were vacant as he stared at the top of his desk. Mr. Grimm was talking. "From the moment Miss Thorne turned the corner I lost all trace of her," ho said. "Either she had an automobile In waiting, or else she was lucky enough to find ono Immediately she came out. She did not return to the embassy ball last night that much is certain." He paused reflectively. "She is a guest of Senorita Inez Rodriguez at the Venezuelan legation," he added. "Yes, I know," his chief nodded. "I didn't attempt to see her there last night for two reasons," Mr. Grimm continued. "First, she can have no possible knowledge of the fact that she is suspected, unless perhaps the man who slammed the door " He paused. "Anyway, she will not attempt to leave Washington; 1 am confident of that. Again, It didn't seem wise to me to employ tho ordinary c?ude police methods in the caso that is, go to the Venezuelan lejja.. tlon and pick up a row." For a long time Campbell was silent; the perplexed lines still furrowed hlg benevolent forehead. "The president Is very anxious that we get to facts In this reported Latin alliance as soon as possible," he said at last, irrelevantly. "He mentioned the matter last night, and he has been keeping in constant communication with Gault in Lisbon who, however, has not been able to add materially to the original dispatch. Under nil the circumstances, don't you think it would be best for me to relieve ,iott of the investigation of this shooting affair so that you can concentrate on this greater and more Important thing?" "Will Senor Alvarez die?" asked Mr. Grimm In turn. "His condition is Berious, although the wound 1b not necessarily fatal," was the reply.

"This far tho reports on her are of the usual perfunctory nature," Mr. Campbell explained. He drew a card from a pigeonhole of his desk and glanced at It.

"Use your own judgment, and bear In mind that a man a man slammed the door In the maid's face." "I shall not forget him," Mr. Grimm answered. "Now I'm going over to talk to Count di Roslni for a while." The young man went out, thoughtfully tugging at his glovo3. The Italian ambassador received him with an inquiring uplift of his dark brows. "I camo to make some Inquiries In regard to Miss Thorne Miss Isabel Thorne," Mr. Grimm Informed him frankly. The count was surprised, but It didn't appear In his face. "As I understand It," the young man pursued, "you are sponsor for her in Washington." The count, evasively diplomatic, born and bred in a school of caution, considered tho question from every standpoint. "It may be that I am so regarded," he admitted at last. "May I inquire if the sponsorship Is official, personal, social, or all three?" Mr. Grimm continued. There was silence for a long time. "I don't see the trend of your questioning." said tho ambassador finally. "Miss Thorne Is worthy of ray protection in every way." "Let's suppose a case," suggested "Suppose Miss Mr. Grimm blandly. Thorne had had, let us say, shot a man, and ho was about to die, would you feel justified In withdrawing that that protection, as you call It?" "Such a thing Is preposterous!" exclaimed tho ambassador. "The utter absurdity of such a charge would Impel me to offer her every assistance." Mr. Grimm nodded. "And If It were proved to your sat" lsfactlon that she did shoot him?" he went on evenly. The count's lips were drawn together in a straight line. "Whom, may I ask," he inquired frigidly, "are we supposing that Miss Thorne shot?" "No one, particularly," Mr. Grimm assured him easily. "Just suppose that she had shot anybody me, say, or Senor Alvarez?" "I can't snswer a question so ridiculous as that." "And suppose we go a little further," Mr. Grimm insisted, pleasantly, "and assume that you knew she had shot some ono, say Senor Alvarez, and you could protect her from the consequences, would you?" "1 decline to suppose anything so utterly absurd," was the rejoinder. Mr. Grimm sat with his elbows on his knees, idly twisting a seal ring on his little finger. Tho searching eyes of the ambassador found his face blankly Inscrutlblo. In "Diplomatic representatives Washington have certain obligations to this government," the young man reminded him. "We that Is, the government of jhe United States undertake to guarantee the personal safety of every accredited representative; In return for that protection we must insist upon the name and identity of a dangerous person who may be known to any foreign representative. Understand, please, I'm not asserting that Miss Thorne is a dangerous You are sponsor for her here. Is she, In every way, worthy of your protection?" "Yes," said the ambassador flatly. "I can take It, then, that the introduction sho bfought to you is from a person whose position is high enough to insure Miss Thome's position?" "That Is correct." "Very well!" And Mr. Grimm wont away. por-so- ied. "I don't know," replied Mr. Grimm, pecTTtfg Borne tine else!

Sho smiled graciously and motioned him to a seat. "This is quite a different meeting from the ono Senorita Rodriguez had ini-she asked. isn't There was a taunting curvo on her scarlet lips; the shadow passed from her eyes; her slim, white hands lay Idly In her lap. Mr. Grimm regarded her reflectively. There was a determination of steel back of this charming exterior; there was an indomitable will, a keen brain, and all of a woman's Intuition to reckon with. Sho was silent, with a questioning upward slant of her arched brows. "I am not mistaken in assuming that you are a secret agent of the Italian government, am I?" he queried finally. "No," she responded readily. "In that event I may speak with per"It fect frankness?" he went on. would be as useless as it would be absurd to approach the matter In any other manner?" It was a question. Miss Thorne was still smiling, but again the vague, Indefinable shadow, momentarily lifted, darkened her eyes. "You may be frank, of course," she said pleasantly. "Please go on." "Senor Alvarez was shot at the German embassy ball last night," Mr. Grimm told her. Miss Thorno nodded, as If In wonder. "Did you, or did you not, shoot him?" It was quite casual. She received tho question without change of countenance, but involuntarily she caught her breath. It might have been a sigh of relief. "Why do you come to me with such a query?" she asked In turn. ."I beg your pardon," Interposed Mr. Grimm, steadily. "Did you, or did you not, shoot him?" "No, of course I didn't shoot him," was tho reply. If thera was any emotion in the tone it was merely Impatience. "Why do you como to me?" she repeated. "Why do I come to you?" Mr. Grimm echoed the question, while his listless eyes rested on her face. "I will be absolutely frank, as I feel sure you would be under the same circumstances." He paused a moment; she nodded. "Well, immediately after the shooting you ran along the hallway with a revolver In your hand; you ran down the steps into the kitchen, and out through the back door, where you entered an automobile. That is not conjecture; it Is susceptible of proof by eye witnesses." Miss Thorne rose suddenly with a queer, helpless little gesture of her arms, and walked to the window. She stood there for a long time with her hands clasped behind her back. "That brings us to another question," Mr. Grimm continued merciless ly. "If you did not shoot Senor Alvarez, do you know who did?" Thero was another long pause. "I want to believe you, Miss Thorne," he supplemented. She turned quickly with something of defiance In her attitude. "Yes, I know," she said slowly. "It were useless to deny It." , j.. "Who was It 7" "I won't tell you." Mr. Grimm leaned forward in his chair, and spoke earnestly. "Understand, please, that by that answer you assume equal guilt with the person who actually did the shooting," ho explained. "If you ad here to it you compel me to regard you as an accomplice." His questioning took a different line. "Will you explain how the revolver came Into your possession?" "Oh, I I picked It up in the hallway there," she replied vaguely. to believe you. Miss "I want Thorne," Mr. Grimm said again. I picked it up in the "You may. hallway," she repeated. "I saw it lying there and picked It up." "Why that, Instead of giving an alarm?" "No alarm was necessary. The shot Itself was an alarm." "Then why," Mr. Grimm persisted coldly, "did you run nlong tho hallway and escape by way of the kitchen? If you did not do the shooting, why the necessity of escape, carrying the revolver?" There was that In the eyes which brought Mr. Grimm to his feet. His hands gripped each other cruelly; his tone was calm as always. "Why did you take the revolver?" he asked. Miss Thome's head dropped forward a little, nnd she was silent. "There are only two possibilities, of course," he went on. "First, that you, in spite of your denial, did the shooting." "I did not!" The wordB fairly burst from her tightly closed lips. "Or that you knew the revolver, and took It to save the person, man or woman, who fired tho shot. I will as sume, for the moment, that this Is correct. Where Is the revolver?" From the adjoining room there came a slight noise, a faint breath of scitr.d; g !t might have ucou' Oiilj. n echo of silence. Their eyes were fixed each upon the others unwaveringly, with not a flicker to Indicate that either had heard. After a moment Miss Thorno returned to her chair and blue-gra- y d f" M "Is She, -r- TS- - ir.

I did take the because I knew who had fired ho phot Believe me when I tell you that that person did not act with my knowledge or consent. You do believe that? You do?" She was pleading, eager to convince him. After a while Mr. Grimm nodded. "The revolver is beyond your reach. , and shall remain so," she resumed, "According to your laws I suppose I am an accomplice. That is my misfortune. It will in no way alter my determination to keep silent. If I am arrested I can't help it." She studied his face with hopeful eyes. "Am I to. re-o!v- er dMr bo arrested?" "Where Is the paper that was takon from Senor Alvarez immediately after he was shot?" Mr. Grimm queried. "1 don't know," sho replied frankly. "As I understand It, then, the motive for the shooting was to obta'n possession of that paper? For your government?" "Tho individual who shot Senor Alvarez did obtain tho paper, yes. Aud now, please, am I to be arrested?" "And Just what was the purposo, may I inquire, of the message you telegraphed with your fan In the ballroom?" "You read that?" exclaimed Miss Thorno In mock astonishment. "You read that?" "And the man who read that message? Perhaps he shot tho senor?" "Perhaps," sho taunted. For a long time Mr. Grimm stood staring at her, staring, staring. She too, rose, and faced him quietly. "Am I to be arrested? she asked again. "Why do you make me do It?" he demanded. "That is my affair." Mr. Grimm laid a hand upon her arm, a hand that had never known nervousness. A moment longer and then: "Madam, you are my prisoner for the attempted murder of Senor Alvarez!"

Where we can help matters the thing to do is to get busy and remove the cause, as we are wasting valuable time in concerning ourselves about those matters over which we have no control. It is therefore only the lirst condition of things about which we need to concern ourselves. "Know thyself" is a prett.; good ax'iom to cling to. Where people have the worry habit, the thing for them to do is to turn the search light direct on themselves and try and determine where the fault lies. It may not be possible to cure the worry habit in a day or even longer, but worrying one's self into a frenzied condition of mind simply means unarming one's self to grapple with the perplexities of life. The one who is worrying should find some deviation from his or her routine of daily duties, and in some different work find relief. A SPECIAL ,. i J. BalCOd for Colored .. mm M Don't Worry-W- ork.

The attendance was large, the program excellent and the educational influence invaluable. We were surprised, however, at the apparent lack of local interest among our fanners. We also heard a number of remarks derogatory to what they chose to term "book farmiijg." We are aware many impracticable theories are advanced, but we fail to see why scientific and intelligent methods in farming should not be as advantageous as in any other line of human endeavor.
