sive. Lave you heard anything person

Nothing. This is all we know, sc
far"
well, you are aware that people re-
ported drowned at sea sometimes have a
way Of coming to life again. The sea is
a big place, and it's difficult to be sure
what becomes of man in heavy storm
when everything's as black as pitch.
Then again, young Nolen, you must adj
nit might find it convenient to have it
supposed he was permanently out of the
way. He could start in under a new
name, with very little fear of ever being
interfered with When this affair has
blown over or been cleared up, he might
come back and all would be right again.
| don't say that is what has happened; 1
only say it might be so. And, consider
ing that Mr.. Martin was friend of the
family, it seems a little odd that he
shouldn't have sent letter giving full
account of the affair. He must have
known what value the mother and
sister would have put upon it."
Il hope with all my heart your theory
may be the true one," said the judge.
But I fear the report is correct" ne
added, after a paused. There can be
no doubt about the hurricane, nor that
Percy was on the steamer. There was
no necessity Of inventing q report of his
death; he would be as safe in Mexico or
New Zealand as at the bottom of the
Atlantic. No, I'm afraid the poor boy
is gone. And, as | was saying just now,
| trust that no steps will be taken today
to blacken his memory. The cause of
Justice would not be .vindicated, and it
would add terrible pang to his moth
er's and sisters grief. Some considera-
ton should be shown to them"
well, let us go down to the court
room," said the inspector, rising and
taking his hat Il don't suppose any
one wants to trample on a dead man
not even the woman he was in love
with"
This surmise proved partly correct.
On the case being called, counsel for the
plaintiff submitted that their client was
disposed to abandon the prosecution.
The court asked where the prisoner was,
and the report of his death was put in.
The court observed that the prisoner ap-
peared to have intended FORGETTING his
bail, and was of opinion that the evil
dence of death was insufficient. But as
the plaintiff wished to withdraw, and
there was only moderate presumption
of guilt, the case would be adjourned
pending confirmation of the report OF
death, when the question of estreating
the bail would be decided.

larger than all the rest Of the house.
The house stood upon low bluff direct
ly overlooking the beach. There was
semi-circular inlet at this point, about
fifty yards across; in this pier had been
constructed, to the end Of which cat
boat was moored.
It was a pretty place, but very quiet
one. To reach it it was necessary to
drive five or six miles from the railway
station in the neighboring town. With
in a radius of mile there were perhaps
dozen cottages similar to the Nolens
and occupied chiefly by artists. Milk,
eggs, poultry and vegetables were fur
nished by the farm houses in the vicinity:
fish could be caught by any one with
fishing line and a boat; meat and gro
ceries must be fetched from the town.
It was out Of the line of fashionable
travel; and those who knew Of its exis-
tence, and had established themselves
there, were united in conspiracy to
keep fashion away from it. If they
themselves felt the need of little dissi-
patton, they could be at Newport In four
or five hours or at Swampscott before
night. But here they could always be
sure OF rest, seclusion, charming scenery
and as much fishing, sailing and bathing
as they wanted. Of course they could
not hope to keep their secret long; soon
er or later somebody would appear and
build hotel; but meanwhile they en-
joyed it all tho more for feeling that
their exclusive possession Of it must be
limited
Opposite the point was a line Of low
islands, seven or eight miles distant,
which Berved as natural brealwater
against the violence of the Atlantic's
waves, and gave to the intervening ex-
panse of water the advantages of bay.
They were also charm and attraction
in themselves; for they were constantly
undergoing the most surprising changes
under the influence of the mirage; and,
being within an easy sail, were often

came to my knowledge in the ordinary
routine" he said. 1T has been adj
journed, as you are probably aware, and
the chances are that it will not soon be
heard of again"
Percy Nolen was my brother" she
resumed. HE was lost at sea-" Her
lips embed, but she recovered herself
the Inspector noted that she seemed to
possess unusual self commandment went
on. "Ny mother and are the only ones
of the family left alive; and my mother
is an invalid. Ny brother died with a
shadow upon his name, and l consider
it my duty to remove it. am sure that
it can be done; and I am ready to make
any effort or sacrifice to do it. Nothing
would be a sacrifice that would accom-
plish that result
"Pm afraid you will find it no easy
matter, Miss Nolen. Speaking as pro-
fessional man, must say that the pros
pect is not q hopeful one
Il don't expect it to be easy; but am
determined to succeed, and I mean to
give all my life and energy to it, said
she, in the same quiet tone which she
had used from the first, but with i'm
mense underlying earnestness. "Of
course, I know nothing about the ways
Of finding out criminals, and 1 don't
think that, in an ordinary matter, I
should make good detective; but this is
q thing I care so much about that it's
different. l believe that if the man who
stole that money was to pass me on the
street / should feel that it was he"
The inspector dropped his pencil and
stopped to pick it up. The notion Of
identifying criminals by emotional intu-
ition was not without its humorous side;
but he did not wish his smile to be seen;
and by the time he had recovered his
pencil he had recovered his gravity like
wise. "Even il you were able to recog-
nize him in that way, Miss Nolen," he
remarked, "there would be no evidence
in that to fasten the crime upon him.
The jury might think you were mis-
taken, and would refuse to convict; in
fact, don't think you could persuade
any judge on the bench to grant you a
warrant"
81 wasn't thinking of putting it on
that ground" Pauline replied, coloring a
little. But when I have convinced N.Y.
self that know the man, I would find
evidence against him that would con-
vince the world too. Only let me know
him first, and the rest would be easy"
"Well, all I can say is, hopo you'll
find him."
II should not have come hero to waste
your time merely by telling you this"
she continued, looking up at him firmly.

LOST FOR NINE DAYS.
The Alarming Experience of Two
Men Recently From Spo-
kane Falls.
A Terrible Tramp over Wild
Mountains, With Almost Moth
ing to Eat.

A gentleman just in from Colyille
gives brief account Of the porilous ex-
periencc of two men well known in Spo-
kane Falls, who recently left this city
for the mines.
II seems that X. III. Kemp and A. NJ.
Mason started from that place on the sth
inst, loaded with II scanty supply Of ra-
tions and u large stock of hope and cour-
age, to make their way across
the mountains to Pend d'Oreile
river, depending on dim trail and their
instinct to tell their course. About the
second day out they lost their bearing
and ran out of supplies and for nine
days wandered about in the mountains,
in the rain and snow, subssting on Il
piece of bacon made into soup with an
empty flour sack.
To add to their discomforture their
pack animal was killed by falling over u
precipice.
In u very dcplorablc condition they
found their way to u settlement on the
Columbia river, where they employed q
guide versed in the trails and the mys-
teries of the diamond hitch, to take them
back to Colyille.

A TAkIEN LESSON.


The Russian revenue for the last fiscal
year was 3i,O0O, 900 roublos in excess OF
the expenditure, the latter being 1900,
900 roubles below the estimates. This is
good showing for country which had
before been reporting deficit every
year. 1t shows that administration has
improved by Keeping the expenditures
below the estimates. 1t also shows
something else of interest to Americans,
IL demonstrates the good effect OF the re-
gently adopted protective policy, upon
Russian industry. Under its influence
the exports of Russia during the last
fiscal year increased more than % per
cent over tho preceding year, the paper
roubic rose In value from 37L cents
to b2L. cents. and an enormous issue
of per cent bonds has been converted
into 4 per cents on reasonable terms.
The British free traders are prophcsying
evil TO Russia IT she persists in her new
10 u falling oii in the vol
ume of English exports to Russia.
They talk the same way about the
American tariff and for the same reason,
The Russian tariff is still undergoing re-
vision in the direction Of larger protec-
tion, and English discomfort and prophe-
cies of disaster will keep pace Herewith;
but 1t Is not likely that, having felt the
good effect of self-protection so decid-
edly, Russia will go back on her tracks.
Our free traders might learn wisdom
from these facts if they would. Russia
is country largely agricultural with
manufacturing interests but little devel-
oped. Under the democratic and mug
wuinp theory of buying in the cheapest
market she exported her raw material,
breadstpfls and the gold Of Siberia, and
remained poor, with deteriorated paper
rate of interest on her public securities,
which were marketed with some diAi-
Guilty. Protection has changed all that
within twelve months. Our financial
critics would have us adopt the old Rus.
sian policy in the light of the new, in
the int9rest of few importers of foreign
goods and money lenders alono would
profit by the change. ,7,-,,s

BosroS, Oct, 26.-This afternoon John

among whom were Tommy Kelly, ex-
champion ieatherweight, and Tommy
Shay, made the rounds ofseveral saloons,
finally bringing up in u barber shop
Shay, who was considerably under the
influence of liquor, had attempted sew
eral times to engage Sullivan in conyer-
sation upon matters he did not care to
discuss, and had been told to dcsist.
While Sullivan was seated in chair
getting shaved, Shay again began his
talk. Kelly then intertcred, whcrcupon
Shay made an insulting remark To the
former, who quickly seized razor and
inflicted terrible wound on Shay's left
ear.

FIRE AT COLFAX.
A Residence Burned with n Loss of
About &14OO.

On Saturday last at about midnight,
says the ColtaN Commoner dwelling
house on the west bank of the "lake,'
between Wall and Upton streets, took
fire and burned TO the ground. The
property was owned by DIR. John Bos-
well, and rented by Wallace Williams.
Ii was unoccupiod at the time, Mrs.
Williams being in SAN Francisco, and
Mr.. Williams stopping at the home OF
>. Duncan. The tire was first discovered
by two ladies, who were returning from
the depot. who sounded the alarm
which was quickly followed by Il
score, or two of men, thence
the fire department and tho greater part
of the citizens in that ucighborhood.
Tho contents of the two front rooms
were saved, but the Kitchen and dining
room furniture and contents were de-
stroycd. The prompt action of the en-
gtnc company saved neighboring resi-
denCcs, but the flames had control of the
building before the department reached
the spot, and II was quickly consumed.
The loss to the building is Sil00 insured
for $500; contents destroyed and dam
aged $3.50, partly insured. The origin OF
the fire ~ not fully known, hut is sup
posed to be attributable to the kitchen
stove or pipe. Mr.. Williams had built II
fire i'll the stove about ) O'Clock In the
evening to heat some water for bathing
but everything seemed in perfect order
when hc left Il short time afterwards.

little group of listeners in the

he was explaining some of his
latest tricks "Let men show YOU
something in that line. Write two figures
on sheet of paper" The World man
wrote "43." Kellar was sitting with his
back turned ten ieot away. Without u
perccptible pause after the figures were
written, the magician said:
"rhe cube of the figures you wrote Is
several rows Of figures, five or six in row,
written. and kcllar couldn't have seen
them even had he eyes in the back of his
head. He began to count half aloud.
Put down two" he said, "and carry
four, and 30 on with each row until he
gave the complete sum. Write down
some mans name" commanded kellar,
without looking. around The World
man wrote "Chnuncey M. Depew."
Kellar then gave the initials and finally
told the whole name.

Can Not Recover.

Davenport Times
Tuesday morning the town was con-
siderably worked up by cutting atlray,
in which a man named Samuel b..
Wright was stabbed by one Thomas Sulli-
van. There was none of the usual noisy
demonstrations prefacing the assault,
and few people on the street was at
tracted to the spot until after the cut
ting. From what can be learned of the
case the two men had had some words
prior TO the murderous assault. They
were standing on the sidewalk on
Harker street, in front of Judge Smalrs
office, when the quarrel was renewed and
Sullivan made lunge at Wright with n
pocket knife. The blade entered the abdo-
inan. As soon as he was cut Wright
kicked his assailant. who started south
on Hnrller street. He ran into the brush
ON tho creek, where n few minutes after
wards he was arrested by Officer Boyes.
The wounded man was examined by
Drs. Whitney and Ayres, and after the
cut was dressed he was removed to the
Occidental hotel. This morning the
wounded man shows no signs of i'm
provcment, and the physicians fear peri
ionitis may result. II is yet difficult to
determine what may be the termination
OF the wound. Both men have been
employed ON the railroad. Wright has
been cooking for the railroad graders
here. Sullivan waived an examination
before Judge Robinson, Tuesday, who
