A Warning to the Country

The only apology which Cincinnati
can offer for the reign of terror is the
impunity wherewith murderers have
been shedding blood. Only one MUIR
derer has been hanged since 1866 the
criminal procedure has been repeat.
edly changed, and the statutes haye
been reduced to such state of dis
order and confusion that it has been
impossible to carry a death-sentence
into execution lawyers have had re-
course to the f1imsiest pleas and juries
composed of the most ignorant ma
terial have been openly tampered
with and purchased. The final out
come of a long series of fragrant mis-
carriages of justice is a sudden par
oXySm of flaWleSSneSS. The most rep
utable citizens, exasperated by a
monstrous verdict, united in call
for an Indignation meeting. So in
tense was the feeling of rage among
all classes that the gathering of a
crowd was the signal for mob-rule.
Excited men had only to look into
one another's faces to read in angry
f1ushes what was in their own quick
beating hearts-the conviction that
if the murderers were to get their
deserts they must be taken out and
hanged at short notice. Beaten back
after their fierce assaults upon the
Jail, they gathered about the court
house where tribunals of justice had
been converted into dens of petit.
Jogging and bribery and made huge
bonfire of it. These are facts which
Cincinnati itself blurts out in default
of any other plea; and the moralist
loses no time in improving the occa-
sion for Cincinnati's good. Pettifog
ging must I've discountenanced ;jures
must be allowed to read newspapers
and quickened in intelligence as well
as purified in morals; the criminal
procedure must be simpIified and &C.
CELEBRATED; and murderers must be
convicted and hanged.
This is good logic. The premises

group to group, and at last went into
the paddock to take a look at the
horses. One of his comrades stepped
up to him and said:
"Poseneck, you must ride Creye-
Ceur to-day"
Don't you know that l have given
up steeplechase riding altogether ?"
After great deal of coaxing and
0antering he at last consented.
"Seems fever has seized me" he
muttered to himself, for in spite of
the warm weather he felt chilly.
AS the moment of action arrived.
knowing that he needed all his nerve,
he regained his seIf-command. Just
as he was putting his foot in the
stlrrup he heard some one say:
"Have you heard that at Hamburg,
day before yesterday, DEVILS Daugh.
ter broke her neck ?"
He felt as if he had received blow.
The horse that had been his tool was
dead. She had passed from one to
another, having brought nothing but
misfortune to her owners. Another
In his position, perhaps, would have
sllenced his conscience by saving that
1t had been the horses fault. Pose
neck could not do so. Only too well
he knew that he had deliberately
caused Hohenstein's death. He did
not repent this deed, but still he was
often haunted by his victim.
AS the race was proceeding, it was
easily seen. what Creve Ceur could
GO. He was gaining ground con-
stantly, and each obstacle was clear
ed without effort. Soon he was in
front. Suddenly Poseneck saw a
shadow, without hearing the tread
OF horse. He turned and saw beside
him Arno Won Hohenstein, mounted
on DeYil's Daughter.
Was the terrible apparition crea-
tlon OF his excited Imagination?
"Who is the rider next to Kurt ?n
Vlctorine asked her father.
"A rider? 1 see none! Poseneck
is leading the race"
'"There, on the dark horse, see
him plainly. Merciful God! 1t is
Hohenstein !"
Her father turned hastily toward
her-she had tainted.
In the meantime the two riders
sped away.
Poseneck could not avert his eyes
from that CHASTITY face that was close
behind him. Now the horses neared
the stone wall, and he prepared him
| self finvoluntarily for the leap.
Suddenly the phantom turned and
fixed his CLASSY look full upon his
face.
With an inarticulate cry he let 60
the reins and covered his face with
his hands. Creve- Ceur, suddenly de-
prived of his masters guidance, fell.
throwing his rider.
His comrades, rushing toward the
spot, found PoSeneck II corpse. No
one but he and Victorine, the only
ones who knew of the foul deed, had
seen the spectral rider.
