rolled round and round in their sockets
as if they had never known stor quiet;
the lips twitched and trembled, and a
spot of blood on the neither lip marked
the place where tooth had penetrated
the flesh, while the hands alternately
clenched themselves and unfolded.
There is a traitrous heart, if ever one
beat in the bosom of man. He is not
fit to live. My brother, do you find out
his vital spot with that true and thrice
blessed blade and show how Toyhai
treats the enemies of Kwan Dab"
The mixture of the wine and blood
the girl had drank seemed to have filled
her with fire, and her blood went cours-
ing SO quickly through the veins that
when the speaker had finished she
could almost hear it surging to and fro.
Her cheeks were aflame, and her heart
beat with painful violence. She knew
what was required of her. She must
take human life, but such was the
wild excitement which now controlled
her that she had less horror in contem-
plating this act than she had before in
drinking the blood and wine.
She stepped forward. with the weapon
pointed toward the trembling wretch.
1t was within an inch of his breast. The
blood Surging to her brain dazed her.
She wavered backward and forward,
and as the condemned traitor saw
her thus, as if summoning energy for a
fatal stroke, he sent forth such cry of
agony as rang through the whole city.
To Sho Mai it sounded like the voice of
n +lA,,cD,I 10, +la
murderer in the list of blood-stained
souls. She staggered, and the blade in
her hand, without her volition, touched
the barred breast of the traitor. The
steel was keen as a razor, and though
the touch was light blood flowed in
bright red stream. Sho Mai saw it, and
voice seemed to thunder ''Murderess!'
in her ears. Her brain reeled, and, by
the mercy of the gods, she fell to the
floor unconscious!
How long she had lain thus she did
not know, but when night came to her
eyes she found herself alone, lying upon
the tiles just as she had fallen. With
shudder she turned her head toward the
spot where 4 corpse should have hung
suspended by the bands of steel, but the
came from behind them. She would
have given much to lift that drapery
and learn whether she had really taken
a life, but her resolution failed her, and
she turned toward the second apartment.
With feeble steps she staggered toward
the curtain, but as she placed her hand
upon it some force which she could not
trace drew it back suddenly, and she en-
tered, wondering.
There she saw seated about the apart
ment the members of the clan who had
assisted at her initiation. She was i'm
conducted to seat before a
raised dais, upon which was the man
who wore the royal yellow robe and who
acted as orator. An attendant brought
ner a glass of sweet wine, and when she
had drank she felt refreshed.
1T is considered by your brethren of
the Toyhai that you have earned your
robe" said the orator. Remembering,

THE STANDARDS SCHEME

To Advance the Lima Oil and Deprnss tho
Eastern nProduct-Ilopes for the Future.
LIMA, o., March lO.-The price Of
Lima oil was advanced again this morn
ing by the Buckeye Pipe Line Company.
The advance this time was one cent.
This makes the epresent price twcnty-one
cents per barrel at the wells. It is the
opinion here that tho Standard will
steadily advance the price until it reaches
fifty cents per barrel, while there will
be a movement to deprcss eastern pro.
duction until it reaches seventy-iive
centsper barrel, which, with the premium
of twenty-five cents now paid 3n the
eastern stuff, will make it worth one
dollar per barrel to the producer. When
the process OF equalization is completed
Lima will be made certificate oil. It is
known here that the Standard is making
preparations to do an immense amount
of drilling, aud before the expiration Of
another year the Ohio fields will be
furnishing the crude product with which
will be made the light for the world.

Porter's Ferry, opposite thia city, on tho
night Of Friday, October 20, 1883, which
resulted In the destruction OF a passenger

Of Conductor Notherland and Fireman

months later at Roanoke, Va, and was
tried before the Circuit Court here at
the spring term, 1889. The jury dis.
agreed aud Dickson was remanded 10
