frenzied strength of madness the husband
dragged himself and his clinging burden
across the floor to the open window, and
with a supreme effort managed to lift and
throw himself out His wife's grip never
relaxed, however, and half out of the win
dow herself, she still chung to the with
Ing, struggling mailman.
The Feithful Woman Rescued.
At this jdncture Mrs. Norris brother
came to the rescue and seeing her peril
pulled her back into the room This act
broke her hold on Morris, who fell crash
ing to the street, five stories below, while
his wife was drawn back, weak and faint
ing. Morris died at the hospital within
an hour

Louis Toussaint-and will be graft
flying to everyone who cares for
peace and quietness. It now re-
mains to be seen whether the mat
ter will rest where it is, or whether
the aiders, abetters and accom-
plices of VIM. Hoopii will be fer
reted out and made to feel how
heavy is the arm of the law.
The end is not yet, or at least
ought not to be. Everyone feels
that the affair is not fully explain
ed. The thief arrested yesterday
refuses to disclose his accomplices,
for as merely such ii refusal we
must necessarily construe the
"cock and bull' story he tells, q
barefuced fabrication which no man
of sense will believe. Indeed not
the most surprising of Barefooted
Bills exploits is this story Of his.
1t is quite masterpiece Of ingeni-
Gus absurdity. His burgIaries have
been all along an affront to the
skill of the police, and now he
spins them yarn which is no less
an affront to their intelligence.
The public want to see the mat
ter sifted to the bottom and thor
oughly explained. Above all, they
want to see the other offenders
brought to justice.
