1arhs and Drigo spoke together in a
tongue unknown to me, and that gave me
all opportunity Of looking at them more
closely. Taros was about 80 then. and as
have said fine, large man. There were
resolution and strength in his chin and
nose, but great kindness in his mouth and
clear, deep blue eyes. ] could see then that
he was TO be loved and feared rs well Not

casionally the shutting of feet and even
these indications OF movement within

that the whole party had Stircd into tho

ton, nothing but silence, 1T was the stran-
gest way of concluding fight or quarrel

Had Taras killed Dugo by some terrible
blow of that strong arm and were they all

That seemed to me the most plausible ex-

the carpenter had done his work, they all

patient than had been the night before,
and could not control my agitation as the
time drew near for Taras TO come again
My teeth chartered, my body and limbs

five minutes later another boat came out

Now, there was no prcteXt fol tepcaking to
him-he was not in danger. With his
three friends he was more than match
for Drigo and Putty surprising they had
evil intentions toward him.
They landed, and having discharged the
waterman CROPPED their way up the dark
stairs to the landing above, where they
stopped, talking together in low voice
and in their own tongue. Eventually Drigo
left them and went mp to the Joy to see
that the road was clear. Meanwhile, made
reckless by my unsatisiicd warnings, had

giving all suspended banks an opportunity
TO resume business with most satisfactory
results. lie defends the policy of isstli ng
clearing house certificates by banks last

acute panic and tending TO restore public
confidence. He recommends amend

may issue circulating notes equal 10 the
par value of bonds deposited; TO reduce to

that bank examiners Toe required TO take

approval of the secretary of the treasury,

II Looks Very Much nS 10 Mrs. Fecors
Tried TO Commit Suicide.

II Looks Very Much nS f Mrs. Fecore
Tried TO Commit Suicide.
BrTrr, Dec. 3.-Mrs. Kate Pccore. who
occupies room - in tho Gordon block in
East Granite street, came very near dying
tonight from an overdose Of morphine
which was evidently taken with suicidal
intent. She consulted doctor yesterday
for some trouble and was given some
capsules containing n great deal of
morphine, one of which she was
directed 10 take every l. hours. The doc
tor told her that they contained poison
and was very explicit In his directions a.
TO how they should be taken. but inst cad
OF following these directions she took the
whole boxfui Of the capsules between :
and = O'Clock thisinorning and was soon
in scuseless condition.
A male friend OF hers called on her just
after she had taken them, and she told
him that she had not rested we'll during
the night and was very sleepy. When sho
lapscd into Inconsistencies he left tho
room. thinking that she had dropped or
10 sleep. Some of tho other room
ers went in to see her just before noon
and on discovering that she could not be
aroused, thcy sent for doctor who ar
rived Just in time TO save her life. lilo
half carried and half dragged her up and
down the long hall half dozen times,
but was unable to arouse her. An electric
battery had no better effect, and tho
woman finally. grew black in tho
face and stopped breathing altogether.
Artificial respiration was then applied as
last resort. and after long time she
began TO show signs of returning life. At
midnight. after the doctors had been work.
ing steadily on her for T. hours, she was
believed TO be out OF danger.
