CHAPTER II.

Had the earth opened to swallow me
could not have been more surprised
than | was at the consta ble's announce
ment.
Gerald Rainforth arrested for muir
der!' gasped in establishment. Sure
ly there must be some dreadful mis-
take!'
The officer shook his head.
II hope the young man will be able
to prove himself clear" he said, but
the detectives claim to have some very
strong evidence against him."
1T is all terrible mistake. He is as
innocent of any crime as you or l."
Il hope so, but we can't always judge
by appearances.
Where have they taken him?'
ITO the Mayburg jail And with
this the officer bade me good afternoon
and walked up the street.
threw myself spto chair and began
to reflect on the startling news had
just heard. | must go to Gerald Rain
forth at once. l had no doubt of his in
nocence and felt confident Of his speedy
release. Perhaps he could easily explain
how it had happened that he had been
suspected of committing the crime. l
knew that the detectives, hoping to gain
the reward, would jump at the most
1imsy plea to arrest some one.
A half hour later l called at the Jail.
| found Gerald seated by the grated
window, calmly putting cigar while he
perused the columns of a late New
York paper.
He greeted me warmly as l came in,
then pushed me chair and babe me be
seated with an air as calm and unruf-
fed as if nothing had happened.
Gin the name of heaven, what does
this mean, Gerald?" [ exclaimed.
''Only another blunder Of those stu
pid, blockhead detectives, he answered
carelessly. Il suppose they thought it
necessary to arrest some one, and hap
pened to be the victim selected. I hope
they won't detain me long" he added,

tention to go away so soon. but felt

ed his arrest so lightly and had conf
dence in speedy release.
I remained with him for nearly an
hour, but to my surprise he gave no
hint Of any circumstances regarding his
arrest. In fact, he seemed to wish to
avoid the subject altogether, and left
him more mystifed than ever. On my
way to my Office met the mayor of
Mayburg. He had just had an inter-
view with the detective who had caused
the arrest to be made. but that individ-
ual, like all those OF his profession, was
very reticent regarding the affair, but
seemed very positive in his belief that
the right man had been captured. He
had stated, however, that Jack Peters,
the gardener at Darkwood Hall, had
recognized young Rainforth as the man
he had seen passing through the grounds
on the night of the murder. He had
other evidence, he asserted, which would
be brought forward at the proper time.
In spite of the light manner in which
Young Rainforth regarded the affair

rHAmrLIso on oUH DEMOCRATS

The Democratic party Of this state has
curious way Of treating the Democrats OF
King county. It's managers seem 20 re-
gard King county Democrats ~ of no sc
count whatever. except for election day
purposes. and anything that can be done
20 turn them down and humliiate them 10
done with ghoulish glee.
Take, for instance. the call just issued
for the Democratic state convention. Tie
spportionment is supposed to be based on
the vote cast for Cleveland IN Iss2 IL
muss be admitted that in that year the
Democrats Of King county had an uphill
fight They had been scorned, reouffed
and fiouted at by their state convention.
In spite OF the disadvantages under which
they labored, however, they pulled to-
gether 4,974 votes for Cleveland. This was
] 1858 more votes than were cast for him by
the Democrats OF Pierce county. who had
been petted and pampered and fed with
swestmeats from a golden spoon.
How Is this fidelity TO the party re-
warded9 BY cutting down the represen-
tation Of King county in the state conren-
ton and adding to the representation Of
Pierce. The superintendent Is based on
one vote In the convention for every 100
votes cast for Cleveland. This proportion
ia carried out In allotting delegates to all
be counties except King and Pierce.
When These two are reached their vote 10
Jumped together and the delegations are
divided evenly. or rs nearly evenly rs
possible. In other words, sir delegates to
whom King county is fairly entitled are
taken from It aad given TO Pierce county.
which has no right 20 them whatever.
What explanation can be given for this
action, what reason can be assigned for 1t,
goodness only knows.
IL the Democrats of King county have
spark Of pride and manhood left. they will
protest against this utterly unjust discrim-
ination. They will elect the number of
d,lsgatss TO which they are properly en-
titled under the apportionment. and,
more than this. will either protest against
the seating Of the six additional delegates
given to Pierce county or will insist upon
an equal number Of additional votes being
given to King.
IL is none of our business. we know but
we do hate to see tho King county Demo-
Gratis made monkeys of.

Northern states for the same reason. Men
have been iynched during the last year in
Ohio. Pennsylvania, Indiana. Illinois and

This increase Of Iynching in states
like Iowa and Illinois, where ten
years ago IL weuId have shocked
the moral sense OF the community,
is contsmporaneous with the rise and
growth Of Popnlism, which breaches

OF course this deliberate education OF the
people 70 despise law and the courts. TO
give the right hand Of fellowship TO
anarchists and murdsrers, has had its
natural effect The so-called people"

And had claimed her for his own.

Near the
University.

There are always nice home
districts surrounding universe
ties and other important edu-
cational institutions.
Probably no university in
the world has such a grand sit
uation as the new university of
this state will have.
We have two tracts OF land
in the immediate vicinity on
our list at bargain prices.
TWENTY ACRES-This
adjoins the town of Yesler on
the north and is the finest kind
of rich agricultural land. The
price is $500 an acre, and it is
worth it as farming land aside
from all speculative features.
1t is a rare chance for prohta-
bic investment in eligibly To-
Gated acres. We believe the
price will double within IL
months.
THIRTY ACRES-This
is a quarter of mile from the
other tract. 1t is also excel
lent farming land and the price
is the same-$3oo an acre.
Reasonable terms will be
made on either tract
