KDMI'MIS, an "unomdat omclal" who Is nurklngham's push-button when that personaga wishes aomo political deed accomplished. THE STORY THUS FAR 1 Jerry Archer never gave, any attention to politics, reform or civic affairs, until he hod his skull crncked open by a policeman's club when he attempted to Intercede In, behalf of a poor Jewish merchant feellnc thn suppressed wrath of the "guardian of the reace." That event tauoht the joung millionaire that tho Organization, through Its control of tho police, dispenses favors and suppress all opposition. The eplsod.1 with the policeman also brings him Into contact with Mike Kelly, who gives Jerry his first lesson in practical politic At tho same time Jerry discovers the power of Buckingham who. at the In stance of his daughter Ruth, called up Edmunds on tho long distance telephone at Atlan'lc City nnd commands that man to produce Jerrv, to quash the chare and to punish the offenders. Thus It Is that tho polkeman Is discharged not for having beaten a citizen, but for having dared to Interfere with a friend of Wlllard II. Buckingham. His civic consciousness nroued Jerry refuses Jim Rand's demand for J5000 In order to push through Councils a franchise for a spur track to the factory. At tha pathological moment Max Hlssman uncovers the storv of the arrest of Jerry and the two events make him a poputar Idol. Jerry has become Interested In Sylvy Aurentsky, especially so nine- Kelly assured him that the girl was not Bate with such men as Maldono around When nyivy'n rather rescues his daughter from tha gunman the latter. Incensed, has Aurentsky arrested on a trumped-up charge. Mean while Jerry had told Victor Holllnon about Slvy, nnd the young lawer. when he meets the girl, In tho course of Investigating an accldtnt. Immediately falls In lovs with her. Although Rolllnson his Maldono arrested a friendly Judge releases him on ball nnd the thug Is able to engineer tho attack on the I.afajette Club In the Klfth Ward and the murder of Detective Epplej Both events tnke place In .ierr's presence. After election, when the Town Meeting party baa been beaten, Jerry makes plans for the next fight, and is Introduced to the "Sage of Philadelphia, " who enables the oung popular hero to. start a "Itcal Republicans" party to buck the contractor organ ization. Victor Rollinon Interests the "nig Sisters" In Fjlvy nnd through Hester Levy, one of them, who procures n position for the girl In her father's store, she meets Ruth, who tells her of Victor's love. When Sylvy Is about to Inform her father of this new turn In her nffalr, Aurentsky. turned rnlild nnarchlst because of the brutal treatment at the hands oC Mnltlono nnd the polltcllans .outlines to the girl plans for revolution and bloodshed In this cltv. Hut thn old man forgets all about this violence when pestilence (au" the death of his son. When Buckingham frightened lv the menace of tho "Ileal Republicans," threatens Jerry with withdrawal of credit. It h" does not quit the political fight, the soung reformer replies bv ereitlng nnother sign nsklng the people to take up the Ariher notes at 0 per cent. Among the first to respond Is Jlrs .John Thomas O'Day, a society woman This assumption took form In her fare- well sneech as she remarked "They do say, in.i'nm, that politic makes strange bedfellows, and I never thought I'd ride with the likes of. ou Rut I'm not so gaspln' breathless over It that I ain't much obliged, and any time, ve'll be runnln' for ofllce. ma am the vvomcn'll be otln' pretty soon, don t J? think any time ye will. ln count on the oto of Bridget O RHey. .

"Drawing money out of one of Buck ingham's pockets tn put it into ours, commented Jerry, and, reflecting on Buch a state of afTalrs, laughed some more and went over to whisper the glad news to Paul and his father. "They're holdln' 'em up ox-er there, takln' as long as msslhle to glxe each one their money, fao they can shut em off short at closln' time." explained the officer when Jerry came back. "They'll start a run on themselves, with that sort of tact'es, If they're not careful." observed Jerry, and looking at his watch noted that It was twenty minutes to three And a run on the Star of Liberty was exactly what resulted. The paying tell er, pursuing his mistaken strategy had worked more and more slow 1 v. the line had backed up farther and farther till it passed out of the door and turned the corner into I.azare street, thus advertis ing Its existence to ex'crybody in the neighborhood. "What's it mean?" people asked curi ously. "Folks pullln their money, out or tne Star." xvas the answer, "What's the matter? Ain't It safe?" "Search me?" One or two lugubrious nods and shrugs accompanying words like these and the work was done. I.Ike an alarm of fire In a powder mill th rumor spread through that half-foreign district that there was a run on the Star of Liberty Savings Rank and that It xvas going to fall. The news passed from lip to Up; It was carried by customers from little shop to little shop, and then taken home where it went up the rickety stairs of tenements and xvas shouted across nreaways and through- open windows. Women dropped their washing and with suddsy Angers dug their precious bank books out from under mattresses and obscure, holes In closets, and hurried bareheaded to the bank. Almost by the time Jerry Archer had made his shrewd prognostication, the line had begun to receive accessions of scores of excited depositors and the anx ious questions, the x-ague, nervous answers, the fear, the incipient panic In the back of the line was spreading la the front.

CHAPTER I The Wedding Invitation -QOOM! Boom!" tolled the big JD bell of the City Hall clock. The sound carrying far through the bllence of the night caused Peggy to open her eyes wide In sleepy surpiibe. "Only 2 o'clock." bhe murmured. "That's strange' It's as light as day. I xvonder If that clock Is slow?" "Who! Who!" came a call outside her xxindoxx-. "The clock," answered Peggy, sitting up. "I am xvondering of the clock is slow." "Who! Who!" came the call again. Peggy realized that it xvasn't a ques tion at all. It xvas the hoot of an Owl. "Oh, I hope It's a messenger from Blrdland," she cried, hopping out of bed in a hurry. On the roof of the porch was a young Brownie Owl. "Good night, Princess Peggy," he said. "Good day," corrected Peggy. Then she remembered that It xx-asn't day, so she changed her greeting, though it did sound very queer. "Good night. Brownie Owl." "I have a message for you from Judge Oxxi," hooted Brownie Owl. "It's a xveddlng invitation." A wedding! Peggy was delighted. She'd never received a really, truly xveddlng Invitation of her own. She took the rolled-up Illy pad which Brownie Owl held out to her and read eagerly xvhat Judge Owl had written thereon: "Fair Princess Peggy, come to the xveddlng. At break of day, doxvn by the bay I'll marry Miss Purple Swal low " Peggy felt a sharp pang of disap pointment. "I don't think that's right," she cried. "Judge Owl is old enough to be Miss Purple Swallow's grandfather. She'd ought to marry General Svval loxx', xvho loves her xvlth all his heart." "There's more xvritten on the other side," Interrupted Broxv'nle Oxxi. Peggy turned the leaf over and read: "To General Swallow." Peifgy xvas puzzled. Then she read the whole sentence again. "I'll marry Miss Purple Swallow to General Sxx-al-loxv." At that a light dawned on her, "Oh. I see, the Judge Is goini to be the officiating clergyman," The big xx-ords nearly staggeted Peggy, but she used them because she has so often seen them in reading xveddlnt? notices, "Tint's It." hooted Brownie Owl. "The Judge is a bachelor. He Is wait ing1 for you." "He xvlll have to xx-alt a long, long time," said Pesgy. "I'll never catch up with him "I mean he is waiting for you to come to the xx-eddlnt " explained Brownie Owl, much to Peggy's confu sion. "I oUTht to have been here hours ago with the Invitation, but I rot lost In the light. The moon Is as bright as day tonltht. nnd I couldn't see xvhere I xxas going." This sounded queer to Peggy until sne renectea mat uwis are nKnt hiaa and can see better tn the dark thatrln THE DAIL Y NOVELETTE WITHIN A MONTH By ETHEL V. HALL VIOLET sat on the top rail of tho fence, bmillng to herself. She was thinking of the words she had had with her mother a month before. Violet's health xvas not X'cry go6d and the doctor had ordered her to the coun try for the summer. She laughed out loud as she thought of these xvords: "Now, mother, I xxon't Btay In the lonely old country, and no one can make me, either. You know I'm used to a crowd, and dancing and everything! Goodness, I'll die there. I tell jou I xvon't go." But nevertheless, Violet xvent to her Uncle Henry's farm, and now she thought that nothing could Induce hu to go back to the dirty, close city. She loved Uncle Henry's country ways, and no ono could bo any nicer than dear Aunt Ellen. Her thoughts xvere Interrupted by a loud "moo" in her ear, from Daisy, the cow. She almost fell backward over the fence. "Daisy, xvhy did you scare me?" asked Violet, shaking her head so that her pretty curls bobbed around her roguish face. But the only answer she got was a soft, low "moo, and Daisy went on eating grass. "Come Sport, old dog. Let's take a run," said Violet, jumping from the fence, and Btarting down the field with Sport, a large collie dog, close at her heels. "Now. Sport, I'm going to roll down this hill, nnd don't you laugh at me, either," said Violet, giving his ear a twitch. But Sport enjoyed barking at her. as much ns she enjoyed the rolling. She became so dizzy she cloBed her eyes, nnd kept on. not noticing that Sport had stopped barking and had run xvav ahead of her. She reached the bottom of the field, sat up straight, and found that her only companion naa aeseriea ner. And a Hark Was the Answer She called his name nnd was answered by a bark. The sound came from the woods, so she scrambled to her feet and ran In that direction. Uncle Henry had told her she might go ns far as the woods, hut she must never enter Into them alone. . . When she came to the tnll fir trees, Snort came running out holding a piece of paper In his mouth. . , "What's this?" questioned Violet, read Ing the note and looking suspiciously Into the woods. The note ran: "It xvas great fun watching you roll down that hill. I would like to see you do it again to morrow at the same time. I'm going to talk with you, too." Violet skipped back to the house to help Aunt Ellen prepare .supper. She was unusually silent, and was Interested to hear Uncle Henry say: "Ellen, that young Billy Morris came home yesterday." "Is that so?" replied Aunt Ellen. "I suppose the young girls xvlll look their prettiest, but I bet VI will out shine them all." said Uncle Henry mis chievously. "VI, that young fellow would make you a goou nusoanu "Now Uncle, you're always telling me that some one would make me a good imshnml T-tnw do x'ou know I'm looking for a husband?" saW Violet, bobbing her curls- .....

Beside him were Billy Goat and Johnny Bull, xvlth mouths spread xvide In a friendly smile. "Hee-haw! We've come to take you to the xveddlng," cried Balky Sam. "We'te in a hurry, so don't wait to fuss." , Peggy ran doxvnstalrs and out the front door. Balky Sam had trotted up beside the steps. "Get. on my back," he hee-hawed, "and I'll, show you how fast I'll chabe the Germans xvhen we get to France." Peggy obeyed, and It wasn't until they were xvell down the street that the thought came that her pajamas might not be considered quite proper wedding garb. But it was too late to go back noxv. Balky Sam certainly could go fast' when he made up his mind to do so. Peggy had to hang tight to his short mane to keep from falling off. Brownie Owl rode on Billy Goat's back, wjille Jdhn Bull ran along beside them. In a remarkably short time they had left the city far behind and were on the shores of a beautiful, tree-bordered bay.

After talking borne time, Violet rose to go. "Don't forget tomorrow at the same time," bald Billy, as he watched her lithe body run up tha hill. For a month they met every day, but no one knew It except Sport and Daisy. At last Uncle Henry said: "It's a funny thing I can't get hold ot that young Morris to eomq here. If I told him there xvas a pietty girl hero I bet he would come. In double-quick time, too !" "Now, uncle," cautioned Violet, shak ing her curls. "Well, I'll keep my word; I bet If you met him "you would be engaged within a month." "I bet I xvould, too," sang Violet as she skipped out of tho house, and Uncle Henry looked In xvonderment at his wife. That night, before dark, Violet very slyly kept peeking out of the xvlndow; and at labt her heart seemed to beat harder than ever before, xvhen she saw him coming. "Well." said Uncle Henry, "here comes that Billy Morris now," but he got no further, for lie was some sur prised to see Violet run down to the gate to meet Billy. When Violet came in again she said: "Uncle Henry, xou'xe won xour bet. I met Billy Just a month ago today," and she held up her hand for inspection of a lovely Httlo solitaire on her fourth finger.

THE STORY THIS FAR HTOn RKM.VICK, undersecretary of tho British embassy In Vienna on June 12 1914, when the story opens, has pursued, tha COUNTESS MARISHttA STnAH.VI, a beautiful Bohemian woman, with whom he Is In love. Into tha rose gardens of the Archduke's estate at Konnplsht, While he Is asking her again to marry him three men enter the garden and talk Marlshka then remembers that the Arch duke had asked her to keep out of the garden, but It Is now loo lata to depart, and tho lovers alt and hear. One of the men Is the Austrian Archduke: the other looks suspiciously like Kaiser XVIIhelm of dermany, while the. third, with his long white beard dropping from either side of his face, establishes his Identity bejond question. Tho "destiny of Hurope" Is sealed when the three enter a pact to make tho Arch duke and his morganatic Ite, Sophie Chotek, important figures In European his tory, at the expense of the other Habs burgs, Itenwlck and Marlshka, with their precious Information, return to Vienna, but the Countess compels Itenwlck not to divulge what he knows until she has given permission. In the meantime she visits the Emperor Franz Josef, who exacts from her the promise not to give Itenwlck her consent. While she waits, thinking, a raven flutters past the window. Such a sight nan long been considered an HI omen, according to a legend connecting the appearance ot the bird with every Habsburg misfortune. CHAPTER III (Continued) M ARISHKA stood In silence, not dar- lng to moxe, axxare of tho terrible undercurrent of thought which must be racking tho mind of her sox-erelgn, this man of sorrows, who stood upon the brlpk of the grax-o and peace, and yet xvho must still llx-e and suffer until the curse of the Countess Karolyl should be utterly fulfilled. "Sire," she muttered after a moment, "can I " He stirred and raised a pallid face to hers. It wan quite composed now, but marked xvlth a sadness Inexpressible. "You may leavo me now, child. I am a little tired. If you wlli touch the bell upon the table " t He paused ns she did so, and a ser vant entered. "You xvlll tell Prince Montenuox-o that the audlenco is concluded," ho bald. Marlshka fell upon her knees before him, and touched his fingers to her 11113. "May God bless your Majesty," she murmured hnlf-hysterlcally,j scarcely knowing xvhat sho said, "and glvo you peace." Sho xvas aware of his smile as she arose. "Go, Countess," he said, "you have done xvell. Keep this secret at xvhat exer the cost to yourself. Thoso xvho lox'o Austria must now be prepared to suffer for her. My blessing, child." She obeyed the gesture of his hani and followed the High Chamberlain Into the outer corridor. Marlshka'a first thought, upon emerg ing from the palace, xvas that she must find Hugh Renwick at once. A new Idea of her duty had been born In her The Importance of keeping thin secret of theirs fiom England had not seemed so obvious before her visit to Schoen brunn The- thought of her lover's possible lefusal of her request now seemed appalling. As she remembered his sober face last night in the auto mobile, when this topic had caused her a moment of unhappiness, It seemed that his refusal to accede to her re quest "was more than possible. She had liked Hugh Itenwlck because he was strnnir. hnnesl. rpllnhlp. Kprlntls. -nil.ill. ties she had not found abundant nmong'l tne xounger men or tne nncient rami lles of her country. She loved him now because, against many obstacles, ho had at last carried her heart by storm. But sho realized that the x-ery qualities she had most admired In him xvere the very ones that would make her present task most difficult. He had given his word not to rex-eal the secret to his Ambassador without her permission. That was his promise, given, sho knew, grudgingly, nnd 'only necaue he felt for the moment that her duty took precedence over his own nut xvas it, alter all, merely a ques tion of precedence? And would he, now that he had kept his promise ro far. Insist upon doing hl.n manifest duty lo his own country? Fears assailed her that she might not bo able to prevail. His love for her was untried. How far might she rely upon it in this In exitablo conflict between them? And If he refused her! The motorcar ot the Prince carried her to the apartments of the Baroness Racovvitz, where, after a rapidly thought-out explanation of her sudden xlslt which seemed satisfactory, she ivrote a note to Hugh Renwick. asking him to como at once to her, addressing It to his apartments In the Strohgasse and telling the serxnt If he xvas not at home to take It to the embassy. This note dispatched, her mtnd somewhat more at ease, she Jblned the baroness at luncheon Baronebs Rarowitz, herfather's sister, was u woman of liberal views. Educated In England, she had absorbed some of the democratic spirit cf the West, and so looked xvlth fa-or upon the suit of the young Englishman who had xvon his way Into Marlshka's heart. Today, however. In spite of the confession xvhicn tiembled upon her lips, Marlshka re mained silent. And the mere fact that she did not speak .added conviction of the danger which threatened her happi. nesa and Hugh Renwlck's. As the afternoon waned she grew apprehensix'e, and It xva3 not until eve ning that he came. His appearance did little to reabsure her.v , "Your note did not reach me until a few moments ago," he began soberly. i went upon a mission to tne ministry which hab kept me all day." "1 naxe neen xx-orriea, sne oegan nerxously. "I xxent to Schoenbrunn this morning " "I know It." he broke In quickly. "Ot way. of the Embassy, saw you leaving In the Prince's car." Something In his tone. In the axidlty with which he had seized upon her phrase, warned her of the truth. "Oh, Hugh," she cried, "you hax'e al ready told !" His voice sank a note lower, and Its x-ery earnestness .seemed to make the barrier betxyeen them the greater. "This nlor.nlpg when I left you, I wrote a com nlaje statement of whs,t happened at Konoplsht. and gax-e it to a serxant xvlth Instructions to dellx'er It at the Em bassy at a certain hour. When I tell you that I xvas bidden to the Ministry this afternoon, closely questioned and de tained in violation or an preceaent, you will understand that from my own point of view, I acted xvlsely." iou mean "I mean that larger forces than yours and mine have taken control of the situation." "Then jour message has been deliv ered?" "Yes." "Oh. I cajinot believe It of you" she said, staring at him in anguish. ne smuea gently. "I hax-e only done my duty " "Your ur duty!" she said bitterly, "And what of your duty to me? You prom isea "Merely." he put In quickly, "that 1 xvould wait until you had been to Schoen brunn." "No, no, you promised," she said, with rising anger. "It xvas my secret not yours. I have never given you per mission to reveal it." "Nor having been to Schoenbrunn would haxe given It now, Marlshka," he said firmly, "And knowing this, you use subter fuge, an unmanly recantation break jour promised word " "I have broken no promise, Marlshka. listen " "Nothing that you can say " She rose, her face hidden In her hands. "Oh you have done me a damage Ir reparable! I. too. have promised " "The Emperor!" "My sovereign he asked this secrecy of me and you the man I" "Marlshka. I love you,' he pleaded, trying to take her hand. "Anything but this! Can't you understand? I would have betrayed my trust. The situation you placed me In was Impossible Great mischief Is brewing In Europe. Could I sit I dlv bv and let mv country be In ignorance of It?

Ho xvas on his feet too, his face pale, regarding her steadily. "I cannot believe that you are willing to blame me for doing my duty.

Think." , "Thoso who can thrlvo politically upon the misfortunes of my country are my country's enemies and mine," Bhe said coldly. "I have done xour country no harm nor oji. Listen, Marlshka, he pleaded tensely. "Look at me. I love you, dear, with all my heart and soul, I love you. You cannot forget what happened to us" yesterday. I xvill not glx-o you up " "You must I pray that xou xvlll leavo me, Herr Renwick," nnd she moved past him toward a door. Itenwlck straightened Whatever hopes he had had In his heart that Marlshka might forglxe him for acting without her consent, her action left no doubt as to her present Intentions. The bitterness the glrl'i fatalism had. pre dicted yesterday had fallen upon them quickly. But he would not despair. As the g.rl was yet to learn, Renwick was not one xvho despaired easily. But his years of serxlce had given him discre tion. "I cannot believe that jou are quite in earnest,"' he said quletlj'. "I w.ll call upon you again xvhen you haxe had time to xveigh my action Impar tially " "I shall not be at homo to j-ou " "Nevertheless," ho said coolly, "I shall come." Her shoulders moved disdainfully. "It bhould be enough that I " "Marlshka," he broke In again and came toward her, "at least glvo me a chance to speak to j'ou again tomor row" The curtains beside her parted abrupt ly as she fled, leaving Renwick Maring helplessly at the embroidered hangings. He stood avvkwardlv for a moment. Ulke a figure suddenly frozen, and then dropping nis arms to n:s sides turned and sought his hat and stick For the present at least thero seemed nothing else to do. He descended the stairs, a deeply puzzled frown upon his brows, and went out 'Into tho darkness of tho street. His statemeht was now nt tho em bassy, and Its astounding contents had been read by his chief. Ho made his way thither, somewhat dubious as to the thrill of his achievement, aware of a shadow about hhn. the ghost of j'ester day's joj', which made nil success have the Intimate personal one that he most craved, flat, stale and unprofitable. In thy darknecs of the btreet he was aware, too. that he was being observed and fol lowed, but he went boldly townrd his destination, sure that as a member of the staff of the British embassy this ptr son at least partook of the official im munity of his chief. But there xveie other forces arraved against him with which he had not reck oned. At a deserted and unllghted cor ner he found his progress blocked by two figures who attempted to engage him In a conversation. Now thoroughly awake to a pertonal danger which no omclal Immunity could minimize, he xvas at once upon his guard, moving quickly Into the middle ot the street. The two men followed him, and another whom he had not seen came upon him from the rear. He dodged the blow of a stlcK which caught him a stinging btevv unon the forearm, but he sprang aside; strik ing a furious blow full In the faro of ni of his antagonists and leaping out of harm's way as the third came on; and then, finding discretion the better part of valor, took to his heels, emerging Into tne itingstrasse, some moments later, xvlth no greater damage than a brulbed arm and the loss of his breath nnd hat. The embassy In the Sletternlchgassu fcrtunately xvas not far avvay. and he reached the building without further mishap, now fully aware of the desper ateness of his enemies, whom" he did not doubt xvere employed by those xvhose In terests in nis secret were, more impor tant even than those of the Austrian Government. Who? It xvas obvious. There xvere other agencies at xvorlt. which drew their information from high sources with which they had little in common. A little bexvildered by the rapid march of events, but now certain of the xveb of Intrigue and hostllty of which he was the center. Renvvlok entered rhp office of the embassy, breathing a sigh of relief that he was again for the present safe xvithln Its familiar portals The ambassador xvas at his desk In his prlx'ate ofllce, and Renwick went in to him immcdlatelj'. the grave faces of liio chief and Captain Otway.tlie military attache, assuring him that his Informa tion had already been received nnd dis cussed. "Ah, Ilenxvlck," said the ambassador, rising, "glad you've come. We xvere be ginning to fear that something had hap pened to j-ou. Why, what's the matter! You're as xvhlte as a sheet " "Am I, sir? Oh, It's nothing. You got my message?" The ambassador nodded, and then qulcklj-, "Give him a drink, Otway " And then as the other moved across the room ,to obej-, "You xvere attacked in the street i Renwick laughed. "Oh. don't bother, pleabe. I'm quite all right Just a bit of a breather that's all. You see I ran for It. Safer, I thought. I 'could haxe done for the beggars, if I'd, had a heavier stick, but I didn't want to make a rumpus. You see, I did xxeil In put ting the thing on paper," "Are j'ou hurt?"' "Merely a brulbed arm.

"There are others who havo more to lose than the emperor a party ny tnis revelation Yea. that mav be so." renlled tho Ambassador Judicially, pacing the fioor "Perhaps you're Tight, Renwick.
