have been glad to get out into Ferry street
and leave the governor TO settle his own
affairs as he best could, but the dread of an
accomplice of the foreigner starting out
from beyond the coal and knitting him,
foreignerlike, withheld him. Presently,
gaining confidence by the perfect silence
above, he stole up the stairs till his head
rose just over the level OF the floor and he
could see right along the sailing room. In
front was the cone OF the kiln. with the
opening or "archway" directly facing him,
filled with glare of yellow light. On each
side was deep, impenetrable shadow, thrown
by the walls of the cone. Wright saw
neither Kavanagh nor the foreigner; both
were somewhere in that deep shade.
Suddenly there rose a scream OF terror
from the darkness. and Kavanagb rushed
out into the light. He was making for the
steps when. catching'sight Of head before
him and not recognizing that it was
Wright in that instant, he stopped as If he
had run against wall.
In that moment the foreigner leaped out
Of the obscurity and sprang upon him.
"Mercyi mercyp cried Kavanagh. ~
can explain about Vera"
But the foreigner made no answer. and
there was only rattle in the governors
throat as he tried TO speak again.
They struggled furiously in the light that
streamed through the archway, but Kava-
nagh could make but poor resistance. for
his right arm was powerless and his adver-
sary had tho agility and muscular vitality
of a panther
Wright did not know what to do-he
hadn't time, he says, to think Of anything
besides that, he could not tell what the
foreigner was after He only saw that the
little man was dragging and showing the
governor nearer and nearer to the archway.
Kavanagh must have known, though, for
mis- struggles grew more and more franti~
as they approached the opening In the
kiln. Wright perceived the purpose Of the
foreigner when Kavanagh, with wild
scream, made desperate effort to cling to
the side of the archway. Then Wright
found strength to run to his assistance, but
it was too late. The foreigner had torn
Kavanagh away from the wall and got
him right on TO the dome, and they were
swaying to and fro In the death struggle
within foot of the hole in the middle OF
the DOME For a moment they swayed
there right over the steady flame. Thsx
Kavanagh's foot slipped, and locked In
each others arms they both fell and top
pied down into the body of the kiln. Then,
William Wright says, the yellow flame
turned red brown for a minute or two
with the thick smoke that streamed up.

with assault and battery, and the &C
cused now owes his liberty to the fine
work done IN his behalf by his counsel
who put up the plea Of insanity as his
defense and was sustained by the jury
1t was a hard fight. The fee was a good
one, but the negro had no cash In lieu
thereof he decided a building lot In the
suburbs to his lawyer, who accepted the
deed, duly signed and delivered, and
locked it away IN his safe.
A short time ago he bethought him
that with the help of a building and loan
association he might put a house on that
lot and increase its value, SO he offered
the property for a loan TO one of the
home building and loan associations.
His application was duly received, but
when he went around TO hear the result
the secretary told him ,hat the commit
tee had rejected the application.
The astonished lawyer asked the rea-
son; the lot was good, the loan small
and title good, for he had examined into
that part Of it. The secretary said that
the committee differed with the lawyer
as 10 the title, because while they them
selves were not lawyers they failed 10
