MIIST PAY
Alice Roosevelt Owes $60, OK) I
iu Duty
JL" hicago, Oct. 17? A dispatch to the
.^^iKecord-H* raid from Washington says:
Secretary Shaw and Collector Strat
um, o( the Port of San Franeisco, have
had a lead of trouble for several weeks
about which the public has known
nothing, and it was lifted yesterday
when the secretary was told by Presi
dent Roosevelt to collect the legal duty
on all duitab e articles brought back to
this country by Miss Alice Roosevelt.
The total duty is expected to reach
nearly $60,000.
The daughter of the president has re
ceived during her trip to the Philip
pines China. Japan and Korea many
pretty and some quite valuable pres
ents. Some of the castoms officers sug
gested Miss Koosevelt ought to be
allowed to bring the valuables in d'Jty
free inasmuch as she was treated with
all the honors of a princess and did
much to cement friendship between the
United States and foreign countries.!
The belongings of crowned heads, of (
royalty and of diplomats are those ad- ?
tnitted free of duty Into the United
States
Secretary Shaw received suggestions
until he ? as almost sick. The presents
/ are worth probably <100,000, and if- the
usual rate of duty was imposed it would
cost Miss Roosevelt or her father up- j
wards of (50 per cent or 960,000. Neith
er Miss Koosevelt nor her father is I
rich, although the young woman is un
derstood to have a modest fortune in '
her own right. Finally Secretary Shaw
took his burden to the president and
to'd him about it
'?There is only one thing to do," re- ,
plied the president. "Tl;at is to treat
my daughter's oaggage as you would
the baggage of any other private per
son. She will pay duty on everything |
that is dutiable."

EDWIN BROWNE. Manager.
&
A Somnambulist
[Original.}
Wliile I was studying my profession
-the law? I lived with my uncle,
Edward Collins. He had married a
widow with a daughter, Anna Way
land. The wife and mother had died,
leaving a small portion of her estate to
her husband and the balance to her
daughter. Anna was a lovely girl aud
extremely fond of her stepfather,
whom she had been brought up to eon
sider a father aud who was all alie had
to eling to. But circumstances oc
curred to cause me to thiuk that my
uncle was not worthy of her confi
dence? that he was trying to possess
himself of her estate, which had be
come entangled. At auy rate be was
very much worried over something
connected with the matter, and 1 in
ferred that he was afraid of the law,
which Is very stringent with guard
ians.
The house was under the care of a
Mrs/- Lawson, who had been Its man
ager for many years? a grumbling old
woman whom my uncle and his ward
were perpetually trying to keep In a
good humor, but always failing.
l'ut two young people of opposite sex
under the same roof and in time there
Is bound to be a love affair. Such
was the case with Anna W ayland and
myself. But it was nipped In the bud.
As a boy 1 had been troubled with
somnambulism, but 1 had not walked
in my sleep since J was fourteen. Now
while In my uncle's house I had a re
lapse, and with very mortifying re
sults. One night in summer when we
all slept with our dors and windows
open I suddenly awakened standing
over Anna Wayland's bod. She awoke
at the same moment, aud as the full
moon was shining In at the window
she recognized me at once. I was in
no condition to explain the matter: In
deed. I bolted from the room without
a word. The next day I endeavored
to set myself right, but Anna was not
In a mood to listen to my excuses.
The consequence was that by the time
she showed a conciliatory disposition
I was too much disgruntled to make
an explanation. From that time I
stood In the position of a sinner.
One day my uncle called me into his
study and told me that a "shyster at
torney" was trying to bleed him in the
matter of his administration of his
ward's estate. Certain papers neces
sary to his clearing himself of viola
tion of the law which he supposed
were In his safe were not there. The
safe stood In a hall room next to his
own. and he alone knew the combina
tion. I asked him If he had ever writ
ten the combination on paper and left
It where auy one could see It, and he
replied that he had not. He consulted
with me as to what It was best to do?
whether it would be advisable for him
to pay hush money or throw himself
on the mercy of the courts. I ad\ ise.l
doing nothing till he was obliged to do
something. This was all he cou'.d do.
A few days later I surprised Mrs.
Lawson and Anna Waylaud in au ani
mated conversation. From a few
words I heard I was sure that they
were talking about what my uncle hnd
revealed to me and that Mrs. Lawson,
who had been Anna's nurse, was using
her influence to convince the girl that
her stepfather was robbing her.
Trouble thickened around my uncle.
Tapers necessary to enable him to
show a clean management of the estate
were continually missing, no matter
where he kept them. He had no office;
consequently ho must keep them at
home, and he always locked them Id
the safe. Meanwhile the lawyer, whc
had In some mysterious way got wind
of his position, was threatening hiir
with exposure if he did not give hin
money. The household was not u
pleasant one. I was not on good term:
with Anna, who was induced by Mrs
Lawson to believe that her stepfathe.
was swindling her out of her fortune
I had become convinced of my uncle's
Innocence and treated Anna all tht
more coldly for listening to her ad
viser, though I would not advise her
myself.
One night I woke up under circum
stances involving a coincidence I would
not have believed had It not happened
to myself. I was standing in front of
my uncle's safe. Mrs. Lawson had the
safe door open and was rummaging
the contents. The start I gave at
waking caused her to turn, and when
she saw me she gave a moan and sank
down on the floor. .
Never did the right thing to do occur
to me so quickly. Darting to Anna's
room, without stopping to put on other
clothing than the nightshirt I wore, I
called to her, "Come quick and I will
prove your guardian's Innocence." In
her nightdress she followed me and
we found Mrs. Lawson hurriedly pick
ing up papers that lay on the floor and
putting them Into the safe.
"I will do that for you," I said, and
pushing her aside I gathered the pa
pers and took them to my own room.
As soon as the culprit had gone Anna
Insisted on going with me to my un
cle's room, waking him up and telling
him that we had solved the mystery
that was troubling him. He was as
tonished that one who had so long
been trusted In his family should have
prove! a villain, but was greatly re
lle-. ed at my discovery.
When X parted with Anna at her
room door I told her that my discovery
Tindlcatlng one dear to both of us had
occurred through somnambulism and
she was prepared to believe that my
appearance In her room was Sue to
the same cause. The reconciliation
was perfect.
On condition of not being prosecuted
the conspirators returned all the pa
pers they had stolen and soon after
ward my uncle turned over the estate
to the owner, who In time became my
wife. A. AUSTIN KINGSLET
