 Harry ran to his assistonce
 through the open door and hcad-loug down the stairway into the room below. The fall broke his neck. but no other marks of violence could be seen upon his body
 George and Harry Hines were there alone with the dead man, and how to con ccal the body and hide their guilt was a matter difficult to decide But something must be done quickly for daylight wis only few hours away and thsir-dead must be disposed of in some Mjly osrtheir guilt would be made known. In the rear end of the building there was cellar, or kind of dungeon. used for storing away boxes, barrels and rub bish To this lonely place the body was then carried and hastily prepared for bur ial
 Were two brothers ever In deeper an guishs This was their first great crime. Think of 1t, at that silent hour of mid. night in a dungeon with a dead man. and they his mnrdcrers, Did thes pleadings of their mother then fall upon fheir ears and sink deep down into their once strong hearts? Yes; and they would then have gftcit oil the wealth of all the xsioon- Keepers of Kentucky could they have calieti baclS-the ddeed they ,he had done Bit 1t was tao late
 A rude grave was hastily dug in the remotest corner of the cellar. into which the body was placed, having first been wrapped in soldiers blanket. The grave a ..s,f so that no traces were left of the silent resting place of Colonel I.ovelace. Bar rels and boxes were carefully arranged and the rubbish scattered around so that there was no sign left of confusion in the cellar
 At the usual early hour on the follow ing morning the saloon was opened and customers were coming and going as usual and no one could have guessed from the outward appearance of George and Harry Hines that Il murder had been committed there during the night
 Mrs Haywood caused the two Hines, her son Willie and Hugh Lovelace to be summoned before the grand jury, but nothing could be proven against the sa- loon keepers more than that minors had been allowed unlawful privileges in the saloon, For this they were brought into court, tried and iined a small amount which they willingly paid, and were thank fnl to escape so easily.
 From that time forward their business began to decrease. and the real character of the men and their place of business became more apparent The would-be re- spectable drinker withdrew his patronage and returned to his old accustomed way nf ariukinc from his own tug
 In a very short time their oniy customers were of the lower class of drunkards who pay but little and drink great deal At the end of two years they found their bus. mess a total wreck, as well as great number of the young men whom they found moving in respectable society when they first came to the town.
 George and Harry were shrewd enough to lay np handsome bank account against the time for their flnJ crash which they knew must come; and to escape the venge- ance of an outraged people. they left the place iu the darkness of night. aud when next heard of were well on their way to Canada. Their sudden disappearance nat. urally created an excitement and SC, tongues to wagginc that had been silent for some time on the suhject of the Love, lace affair. which was still shrouded in mystery
 Enrsged creditors rushed in and all the real estate and personal property belong ing to the Hines Brothers was seized by the sheriff and disposed of to tho best ad- vantage. and the proceeds applied on the debts.
 The saloon was first unlocked by the sheriff two weeks after Ii had been closed by the ahseonding owners, aud person. al investigation was made in all the apart, ments by the officers and number of in- terested citizens, amoug whom were Hugh I.oyelace and While Haywood. The low CT rooms having been examined the ex ulorcrs nseen6ed the stairs to the room whore Colonel isovelace so mystcriousiy disappeared on that fatal night All were silently viewingth furniture and fixtures, when Hugh I.ovelace caused ripple of excitement by speaking aloud apparently as one in dream.
 "It was here that last saw my father, Can it be that he Is here nowp'
 The last sentence had not fallen from his lips until all eyes were turned upon him IS he shrank from their gaze like trapped tiger.
 Sheria Taylor was the first to speak
 When did you sec your father hero. Hughs You must be mistaken or beside yourself Colonel Loyelace was temper auce man and never went into places like this"
 No; father would not have como in here for any price. must have been dreaming.
 "Yoa were not dreaming" said Willie Haywood Hugh. we may as we'll tell all we know and ease our own conscience of the secret we have so long kept"
 He then related to Sheriff Taylor and the interested spectators. how he and Hugh had been sought after by George and Harry Hines; how they had been hid away in the saloon from time to time. and taught to play cards and drink beer and whisky until the place became dearer to them than their own pleasant hsmes; and how they had time after time deceived their parents by pretending to be in r~ spectable society when Tn fact their whole leisure time was spent there in company with the common druukArd aud Gamhlsr.
