1t is painful to write of thrilling trag
edy which hurls young and beautiful
lady, a mass of crushed and mangled re-
mains into the great hereafter, but duty
imposes it, however, repugnant 1T may be-
Last night just after the clock had
pealed out II, Oaicerf Montgomery and
DaInwell and The STATESMAN reporter
were standing on the corner III front of
Mr.. George Brush's Avenue store.
All three We're talking of the nights
rounds when a light was seen through the
windows of the capitol dome.
"They are surely not at work up there
this late" said Officer Darnwell.
"No, indeed responded Officer Mont
gomery. Suppose we walk up that way
and examine into it, ms | learned lights
are not allowed up there at night. 1t
may be some crank wanting to fire the
building"
All three turned and walked hastily up
the Avenue.
Near the court house, the reporter and
the officers turned their eyes toward the
great pile of granite with its towering
dome rising high up in the up lifting
depths, grim and ajestic.
The light was still seen in the window,
and just as Officer Montgomery opened
the capitol yard gate, the window was
swung wide open and there appeared at it
a young woman.
VISITORS taking a starlight view of the
city" remarked the reporter.
With the light in the background she
was plainly visible. She was dressed in
white, with her long black hair flowing
down her back to her waist.
"What can it meln?" said one of the
officers. But before an answer could be
given the light was put out, the young
woman made leap, there was terrific
rush of white through the air, piercing,
heartrendiDg scream-and the reporter
woke up and found the managing editor
calmly snoriug-and it was All Fools day.
