ties of large area by reason of the great
saving in the expense that attends elec-

measures of economy that carries with
it no hint of stinginess, and from the
fact that no person will feel aggrieved

From the Jacksonville Metropolis.
There is a druggist i'm this city who is in

upon whom he recently played n most
outrageous trick.
Among the other features Of his drug
Rist's counter display is AN unusually fine
past week he noticed that two very viva
cious, pretty and well dressetl young ladies
who made frequent visits to his store were
in the habit OF nonchalantly helping them,
selves 10 the odorOtis liquid. They would
drop in TO make some such purchase as
Ave cents worth of chewing gum ar ten
cents worth OF stamps. and while Mr..
fair one would seize a MARY stuart" or
"New-Mown Hay' hottie and splash the
contents upon the dainty handkerchief OF
the twain.
OF course these trifiin4 shcfts are
woman's little privileRes,. but, just the

head OIL the v~ivacious young ladies h

he removed all the p~erfnnery bottles
from the counter. He then substituted g

with IL most vile detection. II contained

elements equally sickening. So shrewdly
WAS the mixture compounded. however.
that it would not develop it's n~auseatinH

That day the young ladies paid their usual
call. Flo,ucing into the store, they made
a trivial purchase. hastily saturated their
handkerchicfs, and dashed out to catch u
passing street car. stutting the delicate
bits of lace and linen into their pockets.
The young ladies had scarcely seated
themselves before the asafGrtida coInbin-

That morning the Deputy Coroner held
an inquest on the body Of Lazarus Stein.
The six men hastily gathered together
barely glanced at the remains, and then
listened 70 the report Of the County Ply
sCian He, misled by the sUrmises Of
the police, made no autopsy, nor even a
careful examination of the body, but
stated as his opinion that death had re
suited from old age and exhaustion. A
verdict in accordance with this view was
promptly rendered.
Ii was with mixed feelings that Harry
Weston heard ut noon Of the result Of
this official farce.
He held the key to the mystery Two

Chris explained that it was an old,
feeble-minded German woman who was
in the habit Of making fire every morn
ing for the dead men. She had gone out
in the hall in the morning, found open
the door leading from the corridor into
his room, and had given the alarm. She
was a lettering old creature, harmless
and half blind.
Harry went over to the trunks, some
of which were open and all Of which had
been ransacked. In a tumble Of confus-
ion he saw tin boxes that might contain
treasure, or might hold worthless odds
and ends; bits of ieWelry, mostly an
tique, that to the eyes Of the expert sug-
gested value, but might be passed over
as tTmkets by marauders; clothes Of old
fashions, some martial, and furs, mostly
moth-eaten. Rings, chains, and old
coins were scattered here and there on
the floor.
Queer" unused the reporter; "who-
ever made THE muss was after something
else besides plumber"
A stray ray of light from the window
rested upon an object at his feet. 1t was
locket Of gold and ivory. On the ivory
was the face of a woman, sweet, fair,
and bewitchingly beautiful. For the
first time since he was a raw recruit in
scenes of death and violence Harry Yves
ton felt his nerves strangely thrill and
his head grow dizzy. He recognized the
face.
Chris was snoozing over his cigar be-
side the stove. Have any detectives
been here to-dayv Harry asked.
There had been two-and two of the
best on the Central Detail--HIarding who
was Acting Chiei, and his partner Brown.
"And what did hey sayt
They had said 10 vas death from old
age
But the bindings on wrists and an.
kles2"
1t was some practice of superstition,
and the old man had tied them himself.
Harry Weston asked no more. He did
not press Chris to explain how it was
that man whose hands were tied on his
breast could have covered himself COM
pletely with a quilt before he died.
By an irresistible instinct he stopped
to pick up his handkerchief, which he
had dropped. He would have disclaimed
the insinuation of touching what did not
belong to him; but the professional in.
stinCt was strong to him. He saw the
clew to what he thought was a crime.
1t was there before him in the shape of
a locket, and from the locket looked a
face that was mirrored in his heart.
When he picked up the handkerchief the
lOCket was in his hand.
