WASHINGTON, July 17.-Prof. Thomas
V. Norton, dye stuff 3 expert of the De
partment of Commerce, has Issued a
statement on the prospect of getting dyes
for American use from Switzerland.
"With each succeeding week the In
cleaslng scarcity of coal tar dyestufts
Is folt more and more acutely by Ameri
can textile workers and also by a large
group of other Industries dependent In
varying degrees upon the element of
jcolor," says Professor Norton. "Tho do
mestic ayesiure inaustry is more than
doubling Its normal output, but evidently
for many months It will be far removed
from supplying- more than a good-sized
fraction of the urgent demand.
"Under the circumstances, wide In
terest is attached to a concerted action
on the part of the leading manufacturers
of artificial colors In Basel, Switzerland.
The firms in question find themselves In
a. serious dilemma. They are now prac
tically cut off from all supplies of coal
tar, crude and Intermediate compounds,
and may soon be forced to close their
vast establishments for an Indefinite
period. In face of the threatened dan
ger, they turn to the United States for
assistance.
"Fully aware of the latent possibilities
in the American coke indnstry to pro
duce coal tar crudes in enormous quan,
titles and also of the great consumption
of foreign-made dyes In the United
States, the Swiss color firms now seek
to secure an ample supply of American
crudes, and to pay for them in finished
dyes. They are In the market for 600
metric tons of aniline oil, and for the
following quantities of nure mil .,,,.
hydrocarbon: Eenzol, 100 tons; toluol. 100
.una, iiaimuwicne, aw ions. Any of these
can be accepted In 10-ton lots and will
be paid for by an equivalent amount of
finished yea."

"7'OUl Oh, you were to stay with him.
X Well, you could hardly ex
pect me to agree to that Infamous pro
posal, so I decided to keep faltt with
Huron and Dereve. Luckily I Hadn't told
your father where his first wife had died,
so I reckoned that without Dereve's as
sistance he would never be able to prove
the date of her death or to get rid of me.
So, one night, when I thought he would
be out till late, I telegraphed to Gilbert to
come down. But at the 11th hour your
futher returned and went straight up to
his bedroom. I met Gilbert ahd the other
man, Dereve, ln the garden. We all
seemed horribly afraid, except Gilbert.
He took, me aside and said It would be
all right, that I could trust the American
to keep silence once he had the plans.
After some consultation, they decided
to try their luck, while I kept your
father engaged upstairs.
"I went back into the house, leaving the
door ajar so that the two men could get
In. I began to speak to your father
about the arrangement he had proposed,
and to my surprise and relief he said he
had been thinking things over and felt
that he hod treated me unfairly. He
confessed that he had made a new will,
leaving everything away from me, but
that he would destroy It that night. He
added that he had sent for your friend
Arrol, to get him to investigate the cir
cumstances of his first wife's death. He
had unbounded confidence in young Ar
rol." Maud's eyes glistened with pleasure
through her tears, Mrs. Plessey shrugged
her shoulders and went on. "I was
stricken with remorse when I heard that.
Since George had turned up trumps, I
didn't see why he should lose his plans.
If 'he married roe again, I needn't care
if Dereve proclaimed the. date of his
sister's death on the housetops. So
when I caught a slight sound from the
study below, I spranp up and urged the
admiral to go downstairs, as I was sure
I heard burglars,
"He bolted downstairs at once without
troubling' to cairtrje servants. I snatched
up his revolver and followed. When he
threw open the door.-of the study I saw
ailbert and Dereve Just about to make
their escape. Tour father flew at Dereve
and pinned him to the ground. At that
moment the thought flashed across me
that If I shot Dereve I should be helping
your father and Killing the secret of that
first marriage at the same time. So I
fired, and to my horror saw I had shot
your fattier instead pf the man lying
under his knees."
Maud clasped her hands. "Then ysu
shot father by accident! Thank Heaven
for .that" She drppped on her knees be
side the older woman and fondled her
hands. "Why didn't you tell me that
fcetpret"
Mrs. Plessey withdrew her hands and
resumed the thread of her narrative.
"Immediately I saw your father faj) De
reve sprang up and made for the door,
brushing past me as he we,nt Of course
I ought to have fired a. second shot, but
Gilbert wrenched the revolver out of my
hand and threw.it down beside George
He told me to go to my room and keep
quiet. I obesed him and went to bed. I
took a dose at veronal, afcd when I awak
ned there waa the doctor telling me that
your father had been found shot by XJeu
tauant Arrol. There you have th whole
stew '
Maud rested her elbows on her kntta
aad put her hands to her brow. she. h
trying to disentangle the threads of the
try and of IU eonssquenees. "I stay ho
stupid," she Od, "b I don't te what
prevented year comhM, forward to say
that you shot father In nslstaka for hi
MMtlast "
T iMfUt with. lfejkue no oh would
have bll,vd . hi. . TJW Mrvut kiww
that I had been quarreling with your
father. The will excluding me- from all
share ln.hls property would have been
found (as I believed) and supplied an
obvious motive for the crime. And If I
had been believed Dereve'would have been
arrested and confessed the whole story.
It would have ber Bhown that I wasn't
George's wife, and It's a hundred to one
that I should have been put In the dock
beside Dereve and Huron as an accessory
before the fact. No, when Gilbert pointed
out to me that Dereve was bound to keep
quiet, because if he spoke he would cer
tainly be charged with the murder, I de
cided to say nothing."
"And you let .larlln stand his trial for
the murder?" Tdaud looked at the older
woman In wondering reproach.
Mrs. Plessey shifted Impatiently. "I
should certainly have spoken If he had
been convicted. As It was, the slight
suspicion -attaching to him did him In
finitely leas harm, than the truth would
have done me. To my relief Huron had
seized the will which cut me off, and said
he- had destroyed It. Whether he has or
not I don't know. I have often won
dered. "The result of all this was that, while
I got rid of that abject poltroon De
reve, I had placed myself absolutely
under Huron's thumb. He knows where
to find your the death certificate of your
father's first wife, and could prove us
not to be entitled to the name we bear.
And he has other cards up his sleeve. No
doubt he and Dereve between them have
concocted a plot which would make me
more or less of an accessory to the mur
der, and such in a. sense I suppose I
was. So there's no help for It" Mrs,
Plessey sighed "we. are absolutely in
Gilbert's hands both of us."
Maud rose to her feet and. gritted her
teeth- "Huron Is a. scoundrel a fiend
Incarnate," she muttered. "We must es
cape from his clutches at all events."
She paused to consider, "He appealed to
mo this afternoon to get hold of these
plana which Sydney Dereve, It seems, has
disposed of to his brother. What dbea
he propose to gain by that move?"
Mrs. Plessey reflected. "I think he is
playing straight. If the plans fall 'into
the hands of the police and Devere la
arrested the whole story will come out.
You wll be disinherited, and I, as I have
told you, wilt be placed In the dock. In
this respect he seems to be acting as a
gopd ally."
Maud stood, her hands still clenched,
perplexed and undecided. She realized
that she and'h.er mother were flounderlnr
In the meshes of Huron's net. At any
moment he might draw it in and they
would be morte at hla me,rcy even thn
now.
"But If the. plans are In my possession
mlnel- ehe cried exultantly. "Jt In I
who will have Dereve at my mercy, and
Huron's power over us Is gone.
Mother," she said, with a sudden des
perate resolution. "I am golnr to see both
these Derevea arid tonight."
She kissed her mother and rushed out
of the room Four minutes later from
the window Mrs. Vltatty saw'her drive
uwsy in a taslcab.
The troubled woman, turned away a
fa.ee which had grown whiter than when
she told of her husband's death. She
rested her head against her hand. "All
that ha.d to be told sooner or later." she
murmured, "and now what if she finds
out the rest? Oh," she cried aloud, "she
is sure to find out the ret!"
It Is a long drive from south Kenslngtpn
to Hampsted, and to Maud, frenzied with
anxiety ana impatience, It seemed to con
sume hours. Toe servant looked at her In
owe surprise when she Inquired fjr Mr

"Mr. Dereve has not come home yet,
miss," she replied, "but Miss Dereve Is In,
If you would like to see her."
Maud hesitated. If Monty had been un
frkndly that morning nothing was likely
to have happened to effect a change In her
feelings ln the meantime. She had mado
up her mind to defer her visit to tho
morning, when Monty herself crossed
the hall and saw her standing at the
door.
In a moment she was at Maud's Bide nnd
clasping her hand. "Do come In!" she
begged, the tears In her eyes. "I was real
mean to you this morning. I've been fret
ting about it. Mr. Arrol is here."
"Martin!" cried Maud, her face light

"No, Itlchord. We've been having a

Richard Arrol himself appeared at that

of thing. I think I'll get the chief slew
ordess." Clemfort thought of the gaunt old
woman who held that position and shuddered.
"Let me tell her," he suggested. "1
guess I can handle It all right."
The purser hesitated a moment. H.
too, thought of the stewardess and her
manner. Clemfort's -name was guarantee
and he nodded his head.
"All right. Thnnks," he said. "Get the
address so no can send over his effects.
Ho hurried away nnd Clemfort 'ap
proached the girl. Sho smiled as he ap
proached. "I can't hnve much longer to
wait," she said. "Ali.iost every one has
left. He cannot ba much longer now,"
"Perhaps," ho said softly, "there will
be a long, a very long delay."
The girl's fnco blanched. "You mean"
she stammered. Clemfort nodded.
"Be brave," ho urged, as he laid his
hand upon her arm. "Tho ship passed
through a storm four days ago. There
was ono wave that Bwept tho decks.
Your brother had slipped out, evading
the rule and the wave came. In such
a sea thore was no hope, though we did
all that wo could. I did not know his
name until Just now,"
Ho atood quiet for a moment until she
had sobbed out her grief. All about them
the little groups of reunited friends were
laboring with the customs ofllcers and
none noticed the little tragedy that waa
bolng enacted. Presently the sobs grew
less violent and Clemfort touched her
arm.
"His effects will be sent you If you will
rtvo mo an addrese," he said gently.
''Would it not bo bettor for you to go? I
will get a cab."
"I I think I had better not have a
cab," sho nald softly. "I I cannot "
"You cannot go on tho ferry this way,"
he said. "Let me have your address and
I will sop you safely to your home."
Sho gave him an address In tho down
town boarding house section nnd Clemfort
took It down for tho purser. Then ho
returned.
"And now," ho said, "wo will get under
way."
"I couldn't think of taking you from
your friends," sho said, drawing back.
Clemfort Binllcd. "I have none on this
sldo of the water now," ho said sadly.
"There are none to, greet my home-coming."
Sho looked up In quick sympathy. "You,
too, are alone?" she oald, and Clemfort
thrilled at that "too." It seemed to es
tablish a bond of sympathy between
them.
In tho cab her tears broke forth afresh.
Ho wisely let her sob out her grief. There
waa little to tell of tho accident, and h
sat silent, u was not until the cab en
tered familiar territory that she regained
control of herself. Then Bhe turned to
mm.
"You are awfully good,' she said grate
fully. "You are so considerate. It must
be an awful bother to you."
"I am very glad to bo of service since
Bervlce Is needful," he said. "It hai
taken me out of my own bitter thoughts."
For an instant her hand pressed his
In sympathy. Then the cab rattled up
to the curb and came to a stop before
nn old-fashioned house. Gently he
helped hor from tho cab and up the
high stoop.
"May I call tomorrow?" he asked, as
a maid opened tho door.
"In the evening," sho sold, "if you care
to. I work through tho day. Thank
you so much."
For an Instant her hand rested In his
ngaln and returned his cordial pressure.
Clemfort ran down the steps and dis
missed the cab. Then he strolled over
to Fifth avenue and turned north toward
the hotel he had selected.
He Btopped ln at a florist's on the way
up, and could ho have known the com
fort the flowers brought the girl, he
would have slept far better that nlirht.
He had expected to return to England
In a few weekB, The business that had
dehianded his presence ln America was
quickly transacted, and consequently he
was obliged to tnlnk up excuses for re
maining. Marie spoke one evening of his
lingering.
"I suppose you will be going back
sopn," she Bald. "You said you would
be hero only for a short time and it
has been almost six months now. I
Imagine that your business will soon be
closed up."
"I wish there was hope for It," he said,
"but I am afraid that I must wait jet a
while."
"You are worried about it?" she said
quickly, as she noted hla expression,
"How I wlBh I might help you."
"You can," he Bald soberly. "Tho busl
nesa that originally brought me here was
ciosea up long ago."
"Thero is something new?"
"Something that I had no Idea of when
I left England. I had expected to get
right back, but I have been waiting for
an answer to a most Important question,
one that will affect my every Interest,
and I am afraid to put my fate to the
test"
rAn-.. J can neIp you?" she asked.
How? as he nodded assent.
"By forgiving mo for seeming to ob
trude on your grief and asking that you
will be my wife." He leaned forward
across the table eagerly scanning her
face. It seemed Indelicate to speak ao
arrival he knew that his happiness de
pended upon Marie. She laid her hand
on Ills.
"Gratitude alone would Impel me to
