Can You Play the Piano?
A PI ANO is always a fascination—particu
larly to the person who loves music, but is
not a musician; that is a trained musician.
Can you play the piano? How often, though,
do you sit down and "pick out" with one finger
the melody of some composition of which you
are fond, and- always turn away with a sup
pressed wish that you could play? You are the
one for whom the Player-Piano—
The Angelus Player-Piano
was conceived. A piano which an untrained musician
might play. You perhaps "know all about" this and that
player-piano. Nearly every player-piano is called "Best."
You've heard it time and again. All we ask is, that you
see and hear and play the Angelus before you make a
final decision. You'll be more than glad you did so.
Angelus prices range from S7OO up, payable monthly,
quarterly or otherwise. Your present piano accepted in
exchange. Ask about our music-roll Library.

SIXTH EPISODE. !
The Siege of tbe Honse of O'Keefe
CHAPTER I.
0 PLATOON of the linest wheeled I
out of the station house ami;
down Deshley street, their
brass buttons gleaming in the;
light of the sunset. Opposite the little j
fountain of the Cupid with (he chipped j
nose and in front of Tim Courky's j
saloon the platoon halted and saluted
the bent and twisted Widow O'Keefe, j
standing on her doorstep. Had not;
the veteran Dan O'Keefe been the most j
popular man on the force? In all I>i3,
life Dan had never made an arrest off'
his own beat or on if he could help it j
or made trouble for a brother officer of |
refused to lie for his friends.
Out of the third story window leaned i
a pair of gleaming gums, surrounding j
which was the pleasing, high check |
boned face of the one who was known ,
solely as Marie. Sergeant Clancy j
stepped across to convey the lime of;
day to the Widow O'Keefe. Sammy j
O'Keefe, a fine, tall boy with a curly J
head, came to the door and gripped the |
hand of Sergeant Clancy with the grip;
of a man.
Suddenly the red gummed young |
•woman in the window brightened until j
she glistened and waved a red hand i
energetically, the Widow O'Keefe put!

.geant Clancy ami the platoon of the !
finest saluted and looked their'rough
gentlest, aud the last ray of the setting
sun shot, across on the cracked nose j
Cupid and reddened hint into life.
A beautiful young girl had come |
hurrying down from the corner, her j
fur cap set jauntily on her wavy brown |
hair and a green tassel dangling over
one car. She slackened her pace as j
she came in sight of all these friends j
nnd breathed a sigh of relief. She j
was safe here. And as if to reassure,
herself she glanced back over her |
shoulder. That had become a habit |
with her of late. The look of worry !
swept instantly from her brow as her j
big e,\'es turned shyly up to the stal- j
wart platoon. A friendly nod and a',
radiant smile for each of the big police- j
men, a word of inquiry for Pat Casey's j
little Maggie, a waye of the trimly j
gloved hand to Marie in the window, a |
sudden Hash of mischief as she primly j
returned the salute of Sergeant Clancy,'
a pat on the hand of Widow O'Keefe, I
a touch of silvery laughter for Sammy, j
aud she had hurried up ,the stairs.
'•She's the sunshine of the precinct, i
the darliii'," declared the Widow'
O'Keefe.
"She's a lady!" announced Sergeant j
Clancy with deep conviction.
"I'll tell you soinethin'." The widow'
inclined her head confidentially. So j
did Sergeant Clancy. So did Sammy, j
"She's hiditi' from some one. God i
bless her!"
"Oh, is she?" And the officer of the j
law glanced up at the third story win-1
dow. It was vacant, "Whoever it is,
they're no good."
"They are not." And the Widow
O'Keefe collected nil her wrinkle*
about her lips.
"She's safe here." asserted Sergeant
Clancy and. with :i grin, jerked his j
thlli'iili n- toward the j

Fie strode across the street. "Boys." '
said he. "our little friend up yonder

As one man the platoon Rlnnepd up
at the vacant third floor window and
nodded, and at the word of command
they faced left and marched. Then,
and not until then. Officer Morgan and
Officer Toole, the pair In front dropped
out of the ranks and stood at attention
while the platoon passed between
them, and when the platoon had turned
the corner they wheeled. Side,by side
they marched into Tim Courky's
saloon.
"Good evenin'. boys. And what can 1
f do for you?" asked Tim Courky.
"A glass of vater. Tim," said Moran. '
•"Hie same for me, Tim," said Officer
Toole.
"it's a fine evenin'." said Tim Courky, '
and on the bar he set a large glass of
foaming yellow water for Officer Mor
an and a small glass of rich brown wa- j
ter for Officer Toole.
Marie at that moment, was brushing j
the staining hair of her beautiful young J
mistress, and both were happy in that |
occupation.
Poor, dear Ned! June did long i
for him! Rut. ho must, be patient, as,
she must. They would be far, far :
happier when, earning her own living,
she could go to him independently, ex
changing love for love, not love for
charity.
Ned Warner at that moment was ap- j
proachiug the little cracked Cupid of
the fountain, and as he came down !
angling Duck alley his mind was in a '
whirl of savage fury. Gilbert 151 ye!
Everywhere that Ned or his detectives
had found a trace of June they had
found a trace of Blye. Kven now the
scoundrel was in this vicinity search
ing, as Ned was. for June. Or was he j
following to join her? Ned Warner
clinched his lists, and his face black- '
ened with passion.
And Blye? He was only a few rods
away. He was coming down diagonal
Deshley street, and he was at about
the same distance from the comer of
Tim Courky's saloon as- was Ned on >
Duck alley. From her third story win
low of the O'Kecfe house June hap- |
pened to glance out. In the gathering
dusk she saw the two figures steadily i
approaching the corner, where they
would meet under the light; then as '
Ned Warner's deadly clutch gripped
around the throat, of Gilbert l>lyo she ,
would be able to recognize their up
turned faces.
it "was then that Officer Moran and
Officer Toole bade a pleasant evening
to Tim Courky ajid strode side by side .
out of the door in the point of the j
wedge just as Ned Warner and <Gilbert i
Blye approached the light, Ned War- j
nor with murder in his heart and Gil-j
bcrt Blye all unconscious of his peril, !
and Officer Moran turned left, and Of- |
ficer Toole turned right.
"Have you seen a girl wearing a fur |
cap with a green tassel?" asked Ned ;
Warner and Gilbert Blye almost
taneously of Officer Moran and
Toole.
"I did." Officer Moran replied. "She;
was here only a few minutes ago and j
dropped a letter in a box."
"Does she live down this way?"
asked Ned.
"Never saw her before." Officer Mo-1
ran impressed Ned's features on his |
memory. "1 think she took an uptown j
car. - '
He hurried away.
Officer Toole was not quite so quick j
in his mind, because he was more elab- j
orate. He held a thick forefinger in the j
deep dimple of his chin.
"A girl with a fur cap and a green j
tassel over one ear," be repeated, mak-1
ing the normal gesture for the tassel, !
as the black Yandyked man had done. I
"Oh, yes, a girl with a green tassel over i
one ear! Yes, there was a girl with a i
led tassel over her ear playin' shinny j
here this mornin", but she was a little
girl. Pat Casey's Maggie. And there
was a girl with a blue tassel down here j
yesterday workin' for an orphans' ben- j
eflt." All this by way of assembling!
his mind while he studied Gilbert Blye !
whisker by whisker. "But the girl with
the green tassel—rather a small young
lady, roundlike, and a pretty face, with j
a smile?"
"Yes!" Blye was ail eagerness.
"Well. 1 don't know anything about
her myself, but 1 think I saw such a j
girl askin' a question of Officer Mor- j
risey, two blocks beyond."
Blye looked up the street to where, |
against the hill. Officer Morrisey stood,
gaunt and stiff, handling his tangle of
dray traflic.
"Thank you." And Blye struck out j
for Officer Morrisey.
That busy person scarcely looked at
the man with the black Vandyke; just
one roll of his gray eye.
"No."
"Oh!" Mr. Blye was very much dis
appointed. "The officer below said that
he had seen such a girl talking to you." ,
"Yes. 1 remember. She asked me the
time of day, and she beaded over this ,
way."
"Over this way" was at. right angles
to Blye's previous course. By the tiina !
he reached'iiti.... uni ier Schmelt/. Pu
trolmun O'Malley had carried the word !
to that corner from Officer Toole, so
that Schmelt/. was prepared for tin
coming of Blye ami by the time Blyi
got away from Schiceltr. the word was
all through the district.
"Have you seen a girl wearing a fur
cap with a green tassel over one ear?'
Gilbert Blye had asked this question
of fourteen policemen. Something
struck him as familiar in the way thl«
one held a thick forefinger In the deei
dimple of his chin. It was Office,
Toole again.
(To bo continued Wednesday.)
Newspapers Voice Public Demand
for Repeal of Full Crew Laws
Public sentiment, as expressed by the newspapers, over
whelmingly favors the repeal of the Full Crew—" excess
man crew " —Laws.
On February 14th, the railroads of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey frankly and fearlessly submitted to the Court
of Public Opinion the reason why these laws, which un
necessarily burden the people, should be repealed.
On this presentation of facts newspapers have taken
position. Editorials to the number of 199 have so far
come to the attention of the Railroads' Executive Com
mittee. These group the newspapers on the proposition
as follows:

citizens to help by communicating in person, by letter or otherwise with
their elected representatives at Harrisburg and Trenton. This should
