Bar Body Flayed for Action on Leviathan Washington, Dec. 23.—The con troversy aroused by the decision of the American Bar association to travel to the London contention next summer on a British steamer, rather than an American liner, waxed heat edly tonight. The United States shipping board, in a formal statement, declared that the board offered to meet all terms of competitors for \ ssels, but that official* of the board were refused permission to attend a meeting of the association's arrangements committee when the British liner, Berengeria, wa* chosen. Members of congress denounced me association’s action and Senator Me* Kellnr, democrat, of Tennessee even went so far as to demand that the association cancel its contract with British interests. McKeller was for merly a member of the association.

We bade Harriet and Edwin good night at our door, and as i watched then) descend flee stairs to their own apartment, while Dicky struggled with the sometimes stubborn lock of the hall door, a swift, apprehensive re membrance of the lurking figure which had fled when 1 came into the hall earlier in the evening flashed upon me. I said nothing, but the memory sharpened my eyes when we finally came into our living.room, and I looked carefully around to see If there were any traces of an in truder. Everything was apparently as X had left it, but the results of a close, searching look left m» with the breathless conviction that someone had been inside the room since our departure from it. And when I opened my writing desk and gave its ocyitents a hurried inspection, convic tion became a certainty. By nature X am a most orderly person, and wilh the really unusual memory which i* mine by inheritance and training. 1 can remember exactly the order in which I leave papers or any other articles, it took but a sec ond or two. therefore, for me to re alize that someone had been rum maging my desk, even though its contents appeared to lie in then usual i places. . “What's the matter, old dear?" Dicky, prowling up and down the room, smoking, asked the question restlessly. “Think sneak thieves ha\e been at your Joels''” “I was looking for a lett'T I meant to post and wondered if I had done so. I wasn't quite sure.” “Better take a tuck in the well I known memory, old bean," Dicky ad vised with a grin. "Never do to let It I get out of trig.” Madge's Intuition. I did not reply. Intuition told me whose was the step coming down the stairs outside, and when Dicky an swered a ring at the bell and Edwin ' entered. I was not in the least sur prised. "Harriet wants to.see Madge." Ed win was explaining as the two men came into the living room. Something about mother, I believe. Anyway I was gently given to understand I would be In the way for a few min utes, so if you'll give me house room—'* "Also one 't the best cigais you ever put in yotlr mouth." Dicky said heartily, and I hurriedly went out of the room and up the stairs to Har riet's apartment. Shs met me at the door, her face ; pale, but composed. "They've been here,” she said, ss: soon as we were behind the closed I door of her living room. "Did they take anything'.' ’ I asked. ; "No, thw» s the queer thing. I couldn't make sure until after Edwin ■ went downstairs, but then I opened ! my bag and they'd even found the se cret of the special false bottom I had made. I think they tried to put my trinkets back the way they found then), but I always keep them exactly the same way. and I knew in a sec- I end. Did they rummage your things. | tool" "Yes. but they didn't take any thing, I'm sure. "What do you make of It? Do you think they were trying to find out where these thing"—she indicated the rare jade and amber ornaments she had not yet taken off—"or—’’ "I think it w*u merely a chim panzee curiosity gratified by rummag ing.'* The words came convincingly from my lips, and I told myself that as far as Haj-riet's Jewels were con Jcerned. they were probably correct. But I could not rid myself of an un canny prescient sort of feeling that the ransacking of my own apartment at the hands of someone associated with the Marks family—I was intui tively sure of the intruder's connec tion with them, lisd in it something more than idle curiosity. A Satisfactory Theory. It was go eminently absurd a fain v on Its face, however, that I resolved to aay no word to Harriet about It, j or Indeed to mention it to anyone else j until something more definite devel oped. or until 1 was satisfied that in reality I had given the correct solu tion of the mystery to my sister in law. whose apprehension was plainly lessened by my theory . "‘Your neighbors?'’ she asked. "Yes," I nodded. "But that's awful. ' she argued "You never can know when they are going through your things " "There's nothing here .ilstut which 1 .are a whit," I returned laughing. Oh, Man!

"You can be very sure they won't come in w hiie the men are ^ here, and you can take all your little trinkets with you to the farm. Or— we can tell Dicky and Edwin about it.” X looked at her with tentative in quiry. "So, don't say anything to them.” she decided, evidently reassured. "It might worry Edwin.” "That'sall right, then,” I returned, and went down the stairs again to my own apartment. But though my com mon sense upheld the theory I had given Harriet, and scouted by vague fears, my dreams were uneasy. ‘Copyright. 1923 I i Big Still Found in i Abandoned House Ald.i. .Wi, Dec. 23.—The most com plete still yet uncovered iu Hall coun ty was *eUt.!.h>' fbuJt Isivcnt7.cn In i vat a fed' farth house southwest of [here.
