WHAT HAPPENED TO O'SHAUGH<br />

NESSY.<br />

The indicting fact that the administration at Washington<br />

has dropped Nelson 0'Shaughnessy from the diplomatic corps<br />

has not attracted the attention it deserves. It deserves attention<br />

because it eloquently testifies to the unreasoning unfairness<br />

which creeps into the government's relationship with its<br />

faithful servants when u politics" become the predominating<br />

factor in the consular service. It deserves attention because it<br />

is an exhibit which clearly indicates the logical fruits of such a<br />

diplomatic policy as the late Mr. Bryan inaugurated when he<br />

Bent the now-deposed Sullivan—an ex-Tammany lawyer—to<br />

Santo Domingo with instructions to find all the jobs possible<br />

''for deserving Democrats. n<br />

Nelson O'Shaughnessy served as charge d'affairs in Mexico<br />

City under the most difficult circumstances and he proved<br />

himself one of ablest and most courageous and most tactful<br />

diplomats who has served under the American flag. When he<br />

finally withdrew from his perilous post—amid the unanimous<br />

acclaim of every foreign resident in the Mexican capital he<br />

was praised by an unanimous American press as worthy of the<br />

most striking recognition which Washington could bestow.<br />

The 4 'recognition'' has come.<br />

r »hat it has been "striking"<br />

could not be denied. But that it has not been of the type<br />

which O'Shaughnessy richly earned and which the country<br />

wanted him to receive is beyond possibility of dispute. TVe<br />

have many excellent men in our foreign service; but we have<br />

no such wealth of genius in this direction that we can afford<br />

to throw out the O'Shaughnessy and bring in substitutes whose<br />

primary claim for recognition rest solely in their u deserving<br />

partisanship."<br />

The president needs expert Mexican advisors—Heaven<br />

knows.. He needs advisors who can speak from long experience<br />

with the Mexican people. Instead of "dropping" such<br />

men as Nelson O'Shaughnessy and Henry Lane Wilson, if he<br />

were to call them to his consultation table he would be in less<br />

tempestuous embarrassment and in less uncertain uneasiness<br />

than he is as a result of his experiment with tyros and amateurs.<br />

BLOEDSINNING.<br />

Mobolize the obfuscated etymologists!<br />

Bring in the spoffish seers.<br />

We have been called "Bloedsinning Yankees"—and the<br />

oracles of state are consumed with anxiety lest we have been<br />

insulted and don't know it!<br />

'Twas in von Papen's letter (von Papen is German military<br />

attache at Washington)—one of the letters which submerged<br />

Archibald in a sea of trouble.<br />

"Bloedsinning Yankees"—von Papen called us in his interrupted<br />

reports to the Fatherland; and State Counsellor Polk<br />

has sent the interpreters and translators a-scurrying to let us<br />

know the worst.<br />

If it is as bad as it sounds, von Papen must—well, there<br />

ere limits to our pastric patience!<br />

"Bloedsinning Yankees!" Ugh! We are told—and by<br />

hearsay only are we able to report—we are told that "bloed-<br />

Binning" may mean "idiotic" or it may mean "imbecile" or it<br />

Way just mean "empty headed."<br />

Let the incisors quickly wield their lingual scalpels! We<br />

would have the worst—and out with it!<br />

If we are insulted we want to know it—because there is<br />

no more pitiable object in the world than one who is insulted<br />

Btd doesn't know it. "Bloedsinning!" It is a bludgeon of a<br />

word! If it has been bred in onomatopoeia, we are quite positive<br />

that we don't like it! But these being stresssome times,<br />

we await leadership from Washington before we undertake to<br />

smile or frown.<br />

MONEY AND THE MAN.<br />

Savings, not income, shows man's real worth. On this<br />

basis the people of the United States occupy an unenviable<br />

position in comparison with other nations. The financial<br />

sharps have figured it out that with wealth untald and an anannual<br />

income of thirty-five billion dollars, America ranks fifteenth<br />

in the proportion of population carrying savings banks<br />

accounts.<br />

And yet money is not the most important thing in life.<br />

Wealth improperly used is more of a menace than poverty.<br />

And it may be that in the very terms of which we today speak<br />

of wealth is to be found the secret of the lack of frugality and<br />

thrift. W speak with awe of the man worth hundreds of thou-<br />

Bands of dollars of the millionaires, and the little dollars the<br />

most of us feel down in our trousers pocket seems so infinitesimal<br />

that they are scarcely worth while.<br />

The nation needs to take another viewpoint. Value the<br />

man for what he can EARN AND SAVE and not for what ho<br />

tan ACCUMULATE through the efforts of others, or what he<br />

may hame inherited from a frugal parent's self-denials<br />

^ood luck.<br />

The very terms in which Americans speak of money, illustrates<br />

our perverted view of wealth. The american speaks<br />

uf wealth in terms of capital—a man is said to be worth $100,-<br />

JDOO, $1,000,000. The Englishman speaks of income—ten thoufcand<br />

a year. And the still more thrifty Frenchman, in talking<br />

jof money made means money saved.<br />

THE LITTLE FORTUNE<br />

Being the Fourth Adventure of the Honeymoon<br />

Detectives<br />

'•Wait a moment, young woman,"<br />

said Duvall sternly. "This<br />

gentleman is not a criminal. He<br />

is one of the best known bankers<br />

in New York. He did not steal<br />

your father's collection of coins.<br />

He bought it to pay his funeral<br />

expenses."<br />

"So the forged letter says'."<br />

exclaimed the girl angrily." Why<br />

do you bring It to me if it is<br />

forged? And If it is forged how<br />

does it happen that It agrees exactly<br />

with the story you now tell<br />

me?"<br />

"Because that part of the letter<br />

Is true."<br />

"Mon Dieu!" cried the girl,<br />

now very angry. "You say it is<br />

true. M. Hartmann says it is<br />

not true. He should know, 1<br />

think."<br />

"How?" asked Duvall quietly<br />

"Because he was my father's<br />

physician, and was with him<br />

when he delivered the coins to<br />

this man." She pointed an accusing<br />

finger at poor Morris.<br />

"Now go away and leave me.<br />

You have robbed a poor girl. It<br />

is enough, I should think, without<br />

torturing her with your lies."<br />

She flung herself, weeping, from<br />

the room.<br />

"My God!" exclaimed Mr. Morris,<br />

passing his hand nervously<br />

across his forehead. "This is terrible.<br />

Isn't there anything we<br />

can do?"<br />

"There Is one thing," said Duvall<br />

sternly, as he strode into the<br />

hall, "and that is arrest this man<br />

Hartmann and his companion at<br />

once."<br />

He went up to the clerk.<br />

"You have two gentlemen<br />

here," he said, "that arrived this<br />

afternoon. One of them is named<br />

Oratz, the other Hartmann. Are<br />

they in?"<br />

The clerk looked at his keyboard.<br />

"Their key is not here," he<br />

said. "I have not seen them descend.<br />

I am quite positive they<br />

are in their room. Shall I send<br />

up and find out?"<br />

"No." Duvall approached him<br />

closely. "I am a detective, and<br />

my companion here as well." He<br />

indicated M. Lefevre. "He is, in<br />

fact, the prefect of the police of<br />

Paris. These men Gratz and<br />

Hartmann we believe to be<br />

desperate criminals. For the sake<br />

of the reputation of your hotel,<br />

monsieur, it would be better for<br />

us to meet them in their rooms.<br />

A scene of shioting here in your<br />

front hall would not be to your<br />

liking."<br />

The clerk turned pale.<br />

"Go up at once, gentlemen, by<br />

all means," he gasped. ' "I myself<br />

will show you the way."<br />

He called one of the bell-boys<br />

to guard the desk and sprang up<br />

the old-fashioned stairs.<br />

The room of the two men was<br />

on the third floor. When the<br />

party had ascended the two<br />

flights the clerk paused upon the<br />

By ARNOLD FREDERICKS<br />

landing and pointed to a door<br />

in the front at the end of the hall.<br />

"There, gentlemen," he said;<br />

•No. 32."<br />

Duvall went up to the door and<br />

tried it. It was locked. He<br />

rapped sharply, but received no<br />

answer.<br />

Again he rapped, with the same<br />

result.<br />

"Have you a pass-key?" he<br />

asked the clerk.<br />

"In a moment, monsieur," cried<br />

the latter, and disappeared.<br />

He came back in a few moments<br />

with a bunch of keys on a<br />

large wire ring. With one of<br />

these he carefully opened the<br />

door.<br />

Duvall and the others stepped<br />

in.<br />

The moment they crossed the<br />

threshhold they voluntarily recoiled.<br />

The clerk, who brought<br />

up the rear, gave a cry of horror.<br />

It was close to six o'clock. The<br />

sun, however, was still some distance<br />

above the horizon, and the<br />

room was fairly light.<br />

On the floor, close to the farther<br />

wall ,lay the body of the man<br />

known on the steamer as Gunther<br />

and later as Gratz. He lay<br />

upon his face, as though he had<br />

been struck down from behind.<br />

A knife still projecting from between<br />

his shoulders showed the<br />

manner of his taking off.<br />

Duvall sprang forward and,<br />

lifting one of his wrists, felt for<br />

his pulse. The clerk, whitefaced<br />

and trembling, closed the<br />

door.<br />

"Too late," said Duvall, letting<br />

the man's arm fall to the floor.<br />

"He is dead, but not for long.<br />

How the other.fellow got out I<br />

cannot Imagine. It must have<br />

been while we were in the parlor<br />

talking to the maid." He turned<br />

to the clerk. "Did any one go<br />

out during that time?"<br />

"Yes—I—I—think so," the fellow<br />

stammered. "I did not particularly<br />

notice. I was busy with<br />

my accounts."<br />

"But you told us vhat the man<br />

Hartmann had not tvone out."<br />

"Oh! No, monsieui*; he did not<br />

go out. He was a large man with<br />

a heavy beard, and so crippled<br />

from rheumatism that he could<br />

scarcely walk. I am quite sure<br />

he did not go out." .<br />

Duvall went to the window,<br />

pulled up the shade ,and glanced<br />

eagerly across the street. Would<br />

Grace recognize Hartmann without<br />

his disguise, or would he<br />

give her the slip? He looked for<br />

her carefully, but she was not in<br />

sight. He concluded that she had<br />

In some way recognized the man<br />

and followed him. He turned<br />

again to the room, determined to<br />

search it thoroughly before calling<br />

In the poliqe.<br />

M. Lefevre was examining<br />

with curiosity some reddish marks<br />

on the wall just above the murdered<br />

man's head, "lie was<br />

writing something on the wall."<br />

he said. "Some message, that he<br />

did not live long enough to complete.<br />

He had dipped his finger<br />

in the blood from his wound and<br />

made the letters that way. Can<br />

you make them out?"<br />

The letters were very irregularly<br />

made, especially toward the<br />

end, as though the hand that<br />

traced them had grown rapidly<br />

weaker.<br />

"It appears to be 'Hartmann<br />

ist—' " read Duvall. "The last<br />

word he was unable to finish.<br />

What a pity he did not live long<br />

enough to complete it. It might<br />

have told us much that is important."<br />

"What do you make of this?"<br />

asked Mr. Morris, handing the<br />

detective a lump of what appeared<br />

to be putty, which he had<br />

taken from the table.<br />

Duvall looked at it, then smiled<br />

and threw it down.<br />

"Looks like what Is left of our<br />

friend Hartmann's hooked nose,"<br />

he said. "He must have left In<br />

a hurry. I imagine they did not<br />

expect Vernon's body to be found<br />

so quickly. Our arrival must<br />

have surprised them. I suppose<br />

they got Into some quarrel over<br />

the division of the spoils, as criminals<br />

usually do, or couldn't agree<br />

upon Ihelr next move, and Hartmann<br />

settled the matter with a<br />

knife.'<br />

He examined the handle of the<br />

Weapon for a moment with keen<br />

Interest. "Of French make, I<br />

should say, by the looks of it," he<br />

remarked, touching the handle,<br />

then proceeded to an examination<br />

of the room.<br />

There was but one satchel In<br />

the room—a large traveling bag<br />

—and beside It a rug. Duvall<br />

examined the bag's contents<br />

quickly.<br />

It contained only some articles<br />

of clothing and other usual<br />

traveling paraphernalia, a hypodermic<br />

syringe in a case, some<br />

tablets of morphin in a bottle,<br />

and a note-book filled with medical<br />

notes and prescriptions, upon<br />

the front cover of which were Inscribed<br />

the words "Victor Relnhardt,<br />

Paris."<br />

The prefect riiade a note of<br />

the name In his pocketebook. "I<br />

think it likely," he remarked,<br />

"that we shall find M. Relnhardt<br />

to have been the doctor who attended<br />

the old man. Mercler, in<br />

his last illness, and not Hartmann,<br />

as the girl said."<br />

"Very likely. You will be able<br />

to find out at once by cabling<br />

your office In Paris, no doubt"<br />

"Yes. In fact, the Information<br />

may already be awaiting me at<br />

the hotel. I directed the steamship<br />

line to send any message<br />

which might come for. me there."<br />
