Warburton's pudgy features con torted themselves to express chagrin, t "The one thing 1 forgot!" "Then send somebody out for it.” "How much?” Warburton drew a beque-book toward him. "A hun- ' dred ?"

Warbur ton s client. In Warburton's private room there was business to distract him. pajters to be signed, details to be arranged, letters and telegrams of congratulation, already coming in by the score, to he opened and read. He was called on the telephone—Warbur ton fully satisfying himself as to the callers Identity before turning the receiver over to Coast. His hope was •ary. I'll fix you up all right. You can slip out into the hall by this door —I’ll make sure the coast’s clear, first —dodge round into the Liberty street corridor, and take the elevator there.

HOMES ARE SCARCE Lack of Cottagss for Rising Gen eration Is Serious Problem. Many Marrieo Couples Are Forced to Wait for Mary Years for Habit ation — Engagements Last Many Years. London.—The Chelmsford laborer who was forced into a workhouse be cause there is no cottage procurable is no isolated victim of the dearth of rural houses. L is quite a common thing in the country for marriages to be postponed lor years solely owing to want of houses. Close to Duiimow is a notorious marriageless district, and in spite ol a number of would-be village bene dicts. In a number of Hunting donshire villages engagements ol ten and fifteen years' standing are common. The couples eithet wait indefinitely till a cottage is available or migrate to the towns or emigrate. An observant motorist through the eastern midlands could soon reckon up a hundred vanished homesteads still traceable by either ruins or rectangular foundations cov ered by the work of worms and moles. Only wealthy landlords can afford to build cottages. The duke of Bed ford, in Cambridgeshire; the duke ol Buccleugh. in parts of Northampton and Huntington; the university col leges, and, best of all, the ecclesiasti cal commissioners have built many good cottages for moderate rents; and have done it in spite of financial loss. Some smaller landowners have done their best to erect cheap cottages. There is one notable and most suc cessful example near Salisbury, where the use of local concrete has solved the problem: but in general every other village in the remoter parts of the country is short of cottages. Here other local bodies have built, but in almost all cases the rents are more than laborers can pay. Local bylaws prevent buildings. They permit the folk to live tn un healthy cottages; they permit over crowding and ail sorts of insanitary conditions, simply because they dare not turn out the Inhabitants. At the same time they enforce the letter of absurd regulations upon anyone de siring to build, and so discourage en terprise. Beyond all question the rural birth rate is immensely dimin ished by the progressive want of cot tages. A gardener with children finds his services absolutely unsaleable, and “no encumbrances" has become a cardinal virtue. S * The only solution of the great na tional question is the cheap cottage A member of a leading arm of build ers said to a representative of this journal that if cottages were stand ardized they could easily build £120 cottages by means of concrete slabs, but absolute standardization would be necessary. Comfortable cottages have recently been built in some of the new intensive gardens for £S0. With these French gardeners are delighted, but the English workmen will not accept a home of .wood and corru gated iron. Enoch Arden Reversed. Seattle.

London.—During the bankruptcy ' proceedings against him. the earl of Yarmouth told the judge that he tried ' to make a living at the poultry bitsi ness after his wife, who was M'.ss Alice Thaw, Harry H. Thaw’s sister, divorced him. He said he sank the $5,000 a year his wife had settled on him in the poultry farm. Then, util izing his experience with broilers and squabs he appeared in a farmyard : play. "Then Chicken House.” but that I failed, too. Yarmouth, whose intimates call him , ’’Bloated.” told the judge further that he has signed bills to money lenders for $85,000 on which he had received only $22,000. the balance being ap plied to interest, commissions and costs His income at the moment is $1,500 a year, he said, but he is looking around for a job to supple ment it * Guarding California Fruit.

SIX NEW DANCES IN FASHION International Conference of Dancing Masters Sets Stamp of Approval on Them—Some Statistics. Paris.—Although the five-step Ar gentine is to be the dance of the sea son, the international conference of dancing masters, meeting here, has be ! stowed its approval on five other dances. The “Pas des Aviateurs" is a topi- < cal dance, which, beginning with a flying movement, finishes very slowly. ■ There is a Russian dance known as the “LukinskoffSpain is repre sented by a pas de quatre. while King George's coronation is responsible for the “Royale" step, said to be full of majesty and gra. e; the United States contributing a languorous dance known as "Sleeping Love.” M. Giraudet, the president of the . ! conference, presented come dancing statistics. In dancing for five min ! ntes to three-four time 1.200 steps are taken, equal to fifty-two yards. Dur- j ' ing an evening's dajcing the polka 1 i would be equivalent to a walk from the bank to the marble arch; a pas de quatre would bring the dancer to Hyde Park corner; a waltz to Picca- ; dilly circus; a joyous two-step through the Green park to Buckingham pal ace; finishing up with a galop and a double Boston, which would bring the dancer to Hammersmith. Men who do not dance will be sur prised to learn that during a f've-min ute waltz no fewer than 650 words can be exchanged with one’s partner. "The five-step Argentine." said Mme. Adele Collier, a London dancing teacher who was present at the con ference. "is a combination of a Bos ton and a one-step danced sideways to a quick waltz tune. The Argentine Tango, which has no fewer than eight changes in the sixty-four bars of the three-four time music, is still more effective. In this dance the man dances by the side of his partner, his right arm round her waist, holding her right hand The woman holds her left arm in front of her partner and clasps his left hand.” VALUABLE JEWELS IN SHOES Jewelry to Value of $6,000 Placed in Footwear Outside of Hall Door to Be Shined. New York.—Rings and a diamond stickpin, valued at more than $6,000. were stolen from Mrs. W W. Jen nings, daughter-in-law of E. F. Kizer, president of the First National bank of Towanda. Pa., when her shoes, containing the jewels, were placed to be cleaned outside her rooms in the Knickerbocker hotel. Mrs. Jennings was taking a bath at the time the shoes were put outside the door the other evening Mrs. R E. Kizer, her sister-in-law, asked her whether she wished to have her shoes polished, and on her answering in the affirmative they were placed outside. Mrs. Jennings said she had forgotten the little chamois leather purse con taining the rings and $25 in money was in the toe of the shoe. Less than one hour afterward when Mrs Jennings opened the door to see if the shoes bad been returned she realized her money and jewels were In one of them. She telephoned to the management to send up the shoes instantly, as there was something im portant in one of them. The shoes were returned to her, and when she hurriedly dug her hand into the toe of each there was no sign of the rings. Dismayed, she made a search of her trunks, aided by the other two •omen She told the management sne was certain she remembered plac ing the gems in the shoe before she went to take a bath, and when her sister-in-law asked if she wished to have her shoes shined she did not think of what she had done with her rings. The management ot the hotel also made a search of the place where the shoes of the guests are cleaned, but could find no *race of the gems, or even discover any of the porters who even bad seen a sign of the chamois bag The women occupied an apartment. Nos 639 and 640 It is said that the rooms were not near those of any | other person's in the PLAYS ROLE OF DOH QUIXOTE Manager of Italian Mine in Idaho Gets Into Serious Trouble by Helping Another's Wife.
