of use. One of our telegraph inspectors
gave it to me. He came to my station
and found that the battery was not up
to his idea of what a battery should be.
He took it down and renewed it. When
it was put up again he asked me to favor
him with little sugar. l asked him
what ne wanted with sugar. He quietly
laughed and said, Get some, and will
show you what it is for

perienced when working with battery

CHAPTER III.

The first man to go to work at Over
look in the morning was jim Wilson,
because he had TO rouse the fire under Il
boiler early enough to provide steam for
a score of rock drills. The night watch
man awakened him at daybreak, accord
ing TO custom, and then got into bunk
as the other got out of one
Everything all right" Jim asked.
4 guess So the other replied. But
hain't seen your boiler sence &fore mid
night. Eph was disturbin' Mary Mite,
and so hung round her cabin pretty
much the last half of the night"
Jim went TO his post at the boiler, and
at an unaccustomed pace, from the point
where he first saw and heard steam hiss
ing upward from the safety valve. On
quitting the night previous he had
banked the fire as usual and this morn
ing he should have found it burning so
slowly that an hour of raking, replenish-
ing and open draughts would no more
than start the machinery at Z o'clock
Going nearer he found that open damp
ers and a fresh supply of coal had set the
furnace raging.
What was that which protruded from
the open door and SO nearly filled the
aperture that the draught was not i'm
paired?
A glance gave the answer. 1t was the
legs and half the body Of man. whose
head and shoulders We're thoroughly
charred. rs Jim was Mortified to see when
he pulled the remains out upon the
ground.
Jim ran to tell the superintendent and
within a few minutes knot of excited
men surrounded the body. The gather
ing grew in numbers rapidly. By means
of the clothing the dead and partially
burned man was identified at once as
Tonic Ravelli. That he had been MUIR
dered was an equally easy conclusion.
The murderer had apparently sought to
cremate the corpse. Whether he had
founditphysically impossible or had been
frightened away could only be conject-
ured.
"Who can have done it?' was the ques-
ton asked by Superintendent Brainerd,
the autocrat of Overlook.
There was minute of silence, with
all staring intently at the body, as though
half expecting it to somehow disclose tho

When to Water Plants.

The other day gentleman saw pro-
fessional florist watering his plants in
the hot sun, and in a surprised way in
CURED if that wouldn' injure the plants
why, no, was the answer. "Why not
now" Il supposed they had to be wa
tered only at night" said the amateur
do you drink only at night" asked the
florist. Are you only thirsty after the
sun goes down? That idea helps our
business, for under it the flowers of the
ignorant wouldbe growers die, and we
get the opportunity of selling more of
our stock l water my flowers when
they are thirsty, just as a stock grower
waters his stock. "-Exchange

"Yes."
"And YOU love Health"

"Yes."
''And you love Health
The answer was no more hesitant than
before, Yes
"Send the rest of my message" and
the detective was boisterous. ''Send the
name. Gerald Heath is the murderer"
He roughly seized her hand and clap
ped it-on the key She drew it away,
leaving his there. A binding fash of
lightning illuminated the place, and
what looked like missile of fire flew
down the wire TO the instrument, where
it exploded O'Reagan fell insensible
from the powerful electrical shock The
rest did not altogether escape and for q
minute all were dazed. The first thing
that they fully comprehended was that
O'Reagan was getting unsteadily to his
feet. He was bewildered. Staggering
and reeling he began to talk.
Mary was first to perceive the import
of his utterance. He was merely going
on with what he had been saying, but
the manner, not the matter, was as
founding.
He spoke with an Italian accent and
made Italian gestures.
I ''You-a send re message" he said.
Heath ees re murder-are. Send-a re
message, say"
Tonic Ravelli had unwittingly re-
sumed his Italian style of English.
I His plentitude of hair and whiskers
was gone, and in the face thereby uncov-
cred nobody could have recognized him
in Detective O'Reagan but for his lapse
into the foreign accent, and he said SO
much before discovering his blulder
that his Identification as indeed Ra-
velli was complete.
Who, then, was the dead man? Why,
he was Eph.
Nothing but the fear Of being himself
condemned as a murderer of the maniac
as part of the scheme of revenge against
Gerald, induced Ravelli to explain. He
had found Eph lying dead in the path
after both had parted from Gerald. The
plot to exchange clothes with the corpse
drag it to the furnace, burn away all
possibility of recognition, and thus make
it seem to be his murdered self, was car
ried out with all the hot haste of a jeal-
Gus vengeance. Ravelli was not an Ital
ian, although very familiar with the Ian
guage of Italy. and able by natural gift
of mimicry to hide himself from pursuit
for previous crime. Overlook had been
arefuge until his passion for Mary War.
riner led him to abandon his disguise
Thereupon he had turned himself into
Terence O'Reagan, a detective, whose
malicious work wrought happiness fol

itely, not only TO their own interest,

A good deal of uneasiness is mani
fest among large employers all over
the state in regard TO the approach OF
the first day of May. That is the date
fixed by the American Federation OF
Labor, when all the auxiliary organi'

shall demand the eight-hour day.
The movement Is general among
all classes of mechanics, and
has taken root and il
growing all over the country. The
organization is possessed of great
strength, and this fact is staring the
employer of mechanical labor in the
face. They are beginning to realize
that long mooted question is to be
settled and are preparing themselves.

the association that their demands
will be acceded to and that no strike:

The following from the Jefferson
City Tribune fits the situation ex-
actly:
There Is no little comfort for demo-
Gratis in the returns from elections
held in twenty of the interior cities of
this state. All along the line DEM
ocIatic gain is reported. Sedalia has
been redeemed by good majority,
and Lebanon and Iudepeudece have
dropped into the democratic column
Carthage, Maryville and Springfield
are the only cities the democrats list,
and they have been republican any
where from 500 TO 81 900 majority.
The other towns are all solidly demo-
cratic, from Stanberry in the nor b.
west down to Piedmont in the south
east. This shows plainly that all talk
of the democratic par Y losing the
state election next fall is simple non
sense. The people of Missouri have
confidence in democratic rule and they
have no notion of asking for change
in this state. The Australian system
of voting was tried for the first ilme
in cites of 5000 inhabitants and over,
aud it is generally pronounced a sue
cess. 1t completely eradicates the
obnoxious electioneeriDg system and
prevents any interference what.
ever with the voter. Judg-
ing from such results as We
have at hand, the new law has ma
terially siren gthened the democratic
party. Under its provisions the re-
publicaDs heelers find it impossible t.
vote them, and this may account foI
the severe loss the republican party
sustained at the late city elections.
Now that the cites have turnec
upon the republican party, we may
confidently expect great democratic
gains at the fall election. Heretofore
the cites have furnished a large per
cent of the republican vote and t5s
democrats were forced to look 10 the
country for comfort. Teh country
will not change. unless it is in favor
of the democracy.
