two passengers, the former Khazniar Of

are discovered BY Turkish spy, and the
father commits suicide and leaves his money

wealth Timar speculates and becomes

THE SHADOW OF JOHN WALLACE. By L,
Clarkson. Published by White, Stokes &
Allen, New York. For sale by st. Paul Book
& Stationery company.
The plot Of the story runs thus: In the
secluded village of Rest Hampton, on an
an April evening, two strangers arrived, g
gentleman and bis valet, with letter Of in
PRODUCTION TO Squire Castlewood, the great
man Of the place. Notwithstanding the letter
was from perfect stranger, the gentleman,
Mr.. Wallace, was Hospitality received, and
lived with the Castlewoods until his death.
Who be was, no one In the village ever
knew. His valet, in a moment of
forgetfuluess, addressed him as "my
lord" His manners denoted gentle,
almost princely birth, while his
cultivation and great learning showed that
he was prepared to fill some high position,
and yet be was living in retirement and OBJ
security. With unlimited means, able to carry
out every plan his mind conceived or heart
prompted, yet he buried himself in this little
out of the way. village. The way in which
the writer leads the reader along, now almost
revealing the mystery and then going OF on
some other track, reminds one Of the chill
dren's game Of ''hide the thimble." When
tbs seeker comes near the hidden object the
children cry shot, hot" and as be leaves it
they shout ''cold, cold" So when the mys-
terious woman eonfronts Mr.. Wallace In the
burying ground, We exclaim, "now we shall
lind the shadow, the scent is so hot, F" or
when Leslie Braeebridge goes across the sea
TO fathom the mystery Of John Wallace, aud
after two years Of bot or cold search comes
back only TO say the mystery Is uusolved, -
the reader who has followed him feels that
the whole story Is delusion and
snare. The story Is well told,
albeit the style is exaggerated
and there is a marked resemblance between
John Wallace and some of the heroes of
Ouida's novels. II is q disappointing book,
like an unsOlved riddle OF an unguessed
puzzle; the mystery of the ''Shadow Of John
Wallace" is never explained.

J. H. Day, witness called by Judge
Lawrence, said he believed Barker wrote the
fraudulent claim.
'Did'nt you say if came into your room
you would throw me out of the windowP'
asked Barker.
''No, sir. l said you was d scoun-
drel, beat and liar, and if you spoke to
me l would knock yOu down. You went
through the corridors telling the clerks you
would use your influence to retain them in
possession"
Representative Millken remarked that Mr..
Barker was not making up the next adj
ministration. At this Barker became
impudent and insulting, and the committee
concluded they had heard enough concerning
his character.
Barker made long statement denying
having had anything to do with the fraudu-
lent Florida claim. In order to show, as be
said, that the people had confidence in him,
ne stated he had made a virgin wagon track
in southwestern Kansas. He was once first
vestryman in the Episcopal church, and had
contributed literally to various churches in
Kansas.
The committee adjourned, subject TO the
call of the chairman. A report will be pre-
pared and submitted after the holidays.
