trying to gain. Moreover, the house was
not burglariously entered. There is no
evidence, whatever, of any door or win!
dow or other means ofingress having been
forced. No crowbar, jimmy, or ehisel was
used upon the safe; it was opened with
the key taken from the pocket OF the
dead. Clearly the blood, stained wretch
who did this thing must have been hid
den in the home of his victim for hours,
waiting in some dark closet or still murk
ier cellar, for the slow moments to drag
along until the fatal moment should sr-
rive when, for the sake of few speedily
spent dollars, he should raise ghost to
haunt him through his life, and mayhap
to the gallows. Did he, lurking
there in the gloom, really have murder in
his heart? tits hard to believe, at the
worst, that the homicidal intent was con-
ditional on the probability of resistance.
But that he had the devilish resolve to
kill. if thereby he might insure safety of
fight, is proven by his possession of the
deadly weapon that he had brought with
him or found in the house, and after
wards SO fiendishly used. p" 80
A large reward was offered by the

published an article charging that Wash
ingion Nathan, the younger son, was
probably the perpetrator Eof the crime.
This charge was Immediately frowned
down by friends of the family, and $780,
600 was raised to prosecute the Mercury
for libel, the damages being laid at

AUDREY ADAIR lives over the way,
And the frost hangs thick on bis walls to-day,
Though the June.sun streams through his window
And tie battefcups round are agoldsn rain. ;
Last week his life was covered lea,
To-day his heart is q frozen sea:
For Audrey Adar 6 has lost child"
And the cold, great rocks on his heart are piled.
1t is the old, dull, scbing sound,
That rolls with a wall the wide world round,
And enters each household, SOC or late,
With the night black plume ndthe bolt OF fate.
Two little trows are marble-white
Two ruddy lips are locked from sight
Two waxen hands are folded Ger
a tired little heart that shall ache no more.
Often you met him upon the street,
With his home-spun coat and his sunbrowned
From under hse torn hat he smiled, "a, = s
(And you thought 1t the smile Of a common child.
But not with your eyes did father, see, go.
o, not with your sentence would love agree? = y
AS garden With roses and asters fair,
To him was that head with its flaxen hair.
On Audrey's locks will the almond bloom, 81
To bis brow T the Wrinkle
NO lost laugh ripples or sealed eye beams.
Up on the shelf are some little "things" '~ - =
One look to his voice a tremble brings.
And draws mist DER his thoughtful eye,
For just as he left them still they lie.
A top, a knife, and a set of tools, y G.
A car with it's wheels of cotton snools;
ball, a cap, and a sled are there,
And the wrinkled boots that he used to wear.
Smile, voice, and little brown locks are gone,
But sorrow and memory still live on;
OIL father" the hard, long years will roll,
Scanning the forehead and sealing the soul.
And Audrey's head will be white with rime,
And his form he bowed with the weight of time |;
Trembling and wistful and weak and slow,
Into the valley his feet will go;
Haunted through all the Summer-tide ,5. ~,
BY soft, light ring lets that wander wide,
And two little feet that beside him go,
Leaving no trace on the winter snow;
Followed forever by two blue eyes,
Lost in dust, as fountain dries,
When the thirsty bands of the August heat -
Trample the valleys with fiery feet s A4
Still looking back to that Summer day,
When a small pale form in the psrlor lay,
With wax-like hands that were folded Ger
a heart whose troubles would wake no more;
Sometimes turning with dreamy eyes
To the Jasper walls of the western skies,
And the rosy sleeps and the mountains grand,
And the amber lawns of the Sunset Lands, e.
Feeling within the heavenly caIms
Hearing the stir of the Kings green palms.
In winds that blow fom fsr-off shore
That is trodden by those who have gone before.

of the initiative powers of the Chinese.

criminal in wooden cage, where he will
stand until death. He is about twenty
years of age His crime is kidnapping
children. He stands in the cage with his
head through hole in the top. his toes
barely touching the flooring. Thousands
gather around him every day, laughing
and jeering at him there he stands, with
his ankles chained together, and his hands
tied behind him. Some one, had put a
few bits of broken bricks into the cage,
and at times he woulditry standing tiptoes
on one foot, to bring the, broken bricks
together with the other, as he could raise
himself up aalittle, and ease the weight
from his neck.o He made rather poor
work of it, as he could not see the pieces
and had to direct his movements by the
sense of touch only. His suferings must
be great, as he has been standing more
than seventy hours. Another man that
was Gagged up the same way lived about
