TIE STORY OF THE BALD-UEADED MAN.
We followed the Indian down the
sordid and common passage, i'll lit and
worse furnished, until he came to
door upon the right, which he threw
open. A blaze of yellow light strcamed
out upon us, and in the center of the
glare there stood a small man with
a very high head, n bristle of red
hair all round the fringe of it, and
bald shining scalp, which slst
out from among it like mountain
peak from fir trees. He writhed his
hands together as he stood, and his
features were in a perpetual jerk, now
smiling, now scowling, but never for
an instant in reposc. Nature had given
him pendulous lip, and a too visible
line of yellow and irregular teeth,
which he strovc fecbly to conceal by
constantly passing his hand over the
lower part of his face. In spite of his
obtrusivc badness, he gave the impress
sion of youth. In point of fact he had
just turned his thirtieth year.
Your servant, Miss Morstan," he
kept repeating in thin, high voice.
Your servant, gentlemen. Pray step
into my little sanctum. small place,
miss, but furnished to my own liking.

We were all astonished by the ap
pcarance of the apartment into which
he invited us. In that sorry house it
looked as out Of place as diamond of
the first water in setting of brass.

was lynched today near Flora, thirty
miles west of here. Last. Saturday
night he entered the store of E. II.
Green, at Green's Crossing, and asked
to see some article. While the clerk,
young man named Devices. was
showing MIN the same, Costello dealt
him terrific blow on the head with a
Ratchet. Costello then robbed Devices
pocket of SO, the drawer of S25 and left
the store, believing Devices dead. Lat
ter Devices recovered sufficiently to
crawl to height boris house, near by,
and tell what had happened. Costello
was known in the neighborhood and II
posse was at once organized and start
ed in pursuit. The hunt was kept up
all day Sunday, and late in the after
noon Costello was captured near Poca-
hontas. within a few miles Of the
scene of his crime. A close watch was
placed over him, but in some manner
he succeeded in escaping, but was
again captured today near Flora and
hanged by the Infatuated friends of
Devices. Costello was an ex-convict.
and has been guilty of numerous rob-
berries There is no hope of Devices
recovery.
For many years the press has con-
tanned accounts of country merchants

peradoes for purposes of robbery.
They are the especial objects Of this
kind of Williams. Too much care can
not be exercised by these isolated men
in being armed and on the watch for
such characters.
