you, and whether you accede to my request
or not, you put no question to me as to my
motive and ask me for no explanations.
Nanny fixed her honest blue eyes upon
the New Yorker. and after moments
pause said:
'Well. Mr.. Updegraff, what is it?"
''That you give me Thad's body!
ooh, Mr. Updegraffp' involuntarly came
from Nanny Boyce, as her eyes filled with
tears and her lips quivered.
We'll, Nanny. what is your answer
Thad's stepdaughter sat lost in Thought
for brief moment, and then looked the rich
man straight into the eyes as II she would
read his most secret thoughts.
''Pll do it, Mr.. Updegraff." was her reply.
You were very fond of father, and some
thing whispers to me that you will not per-
nit his body TO be treated with indignity.
Take 1t. Mr.. updegraff, but
but what, Nanny"
Nanny colored up, but she made no reply.
"Ah, yes. l see Nanny" said updegraf1f |;
of that little falsehood, for, Nanny, your
mother is dead. Thad has no relatives, and
there will be no one to wonder at your hav-
ing left his body in this country where he
died. There, Nanny, there is $500. That's
all can spare until reach Nevada, where
I'm going after l leave you. From carson
City I'll send you $500 more. Now, Nanny,
sit down at The table; want TO dictate
letter."
The woman obeyed in silence.
Dear Madam: II becomes my painful duty to
inform you of the death Of your husband. He
was drowned III the RestlgOucbe, about fifteen
miles from here, on Monday. Having been seized
with fit of vertigo, be pitched overheard and
went down before we could reach him. AS it
was his custom 10 give me detailed instructions
for my guidance In case OF accident to him, l
have followed them TO the letter. The remains
have been turned over TO the Northern Express
Company 10 be forwarded to you. at the time
of his death MIR. Updegraf had $500 upon his
person. Tomorrow l will forward you state
ment OF how l expended this money together
with the recepted bills. The certificate Of
death Will be delivered to you by the express
company. HAD BILLINGS,
Guide In charge.
There was but one step more for Upde-
graft to take in order to complete the proof
of his own death and that was to change
the name in the certificate. As he was an
expert penman this was an easy task for
him.
1t was rather strange, but after starting
Nanny Boyce on her way home the next
day Updegraff felt a knife-like pain in the
right side. 1t seemed to strike him at the
very instant Nanny's blde eyes ceased to
beam upon him. His liver had begun to
harden. He was his real self again, and as
he took his seat in the n0rth-b0und train
the soft CLINT faded from his eyes and with
a malicious cbuckie he mutiered to hlmseH
When that box reaches Harlem Rachel

we shall see what takes place while l am

Horrors Practiccd on Chinese Soldiers In
Formosa-Lnck of Food In Toxic.
Shanghai papers, received at San Francisco,
by steamer, say incredible crucltics have been
practiccd OIL Chinese soldiers in Formosa.
The men were mainly opium smokers re-.
cruited from the drcdgc of the big cities.
After the war ended most of the soldiers were
given passage back from Formosa but were
hot supplied with food, and the rcsu 1t was
starvation and disease. Many Of the sick were
crowded into coifins and buried alive. A
European witnessed one case where the vie
tim struggled to prevent the coffin lid being
nailed down.

The city and caused loss of between S2,000,-
600 and S3,0O0,000 1t spread across the river,
burning large timber RATS, on which were
hundreds of people. Ten lives were lost.
In Toxic there is great suffering for lack Of
food. Thousands are living on bran mash and
food of oxen and hogs; others live on garbage.
In the interior the situation is worse, and
European missionaries declare that many will
perish unless aid is furnished.
