houted him and scorned him for up
wards of two years, and in despair
Jack set himself at undoing his bonds.
1t was a slow and painful process, and
the bonds had habit of slipping again
into hard knots when he caught a
glimpse of Cissie, and Jack had almost
made up his mind to emigrate to some
outlandish country, for he feared he
would never be his own man again
unless a very broad and extensive
ocean rolled between them. No matter
how stern his resolutions were, they
faded away to nothingness when he
met Cissic in a new, pretty and stylish
dress, for every costume she adopted
seemed to be even more fetching than
the last. Clothes have so much to do
with the appearance of pretty girl.
The trouble with Jack was that he had
too much respect for women in general,
and they all knew that, and conse-
quently despised him, Cissie being the
leader in heaping contumely on poor
Hinkston, who, after all, was very
nice sort of fellow, who did not realize
that girls as a rule are somewhat silly
and more apt to take up with shall
low-brained, conceited rapscallion than
with a fellow of genuine worth like
Jack Hinkston.
Jack had heard that Cissie had taken
to the bicycle, but he had never seen
the young lady on a machine. For the
past week or two Jack had avoided
Cissie. and his resolutions of abandon
mcnt had so strengthened themselves
that be falt he would he n free man il
he could merely keep away from her;
but on the other hand he realized that
the next time he saw her she would
have on new dress and would look
more like an angel than ever, and he
trembled for the result
In the matter OF the new dress Jack
was perfectly right, and he saw the
girl under circumstances that nearly
resulted in his downfall, but not the
kind of downfall he had looked for.
He had taken out his bicycle, and had
gone for q long wheel into the peace
full country, where he would have no
comrades but the trees and the green
fields, and the hedges that bordered
the lanes. AS ne cycled along a mar
row country thoroughfare, wheeling
at leisurely pace, for rapid cycling
doesn't lend itself to somber medita-
ton, he heard behind him the sharp
ring of bicycle bell. Something in
its imperative clang, or else the fact
caused him to look over his shoulder,
and he nearly tumbled off his machine
In amazement and surprise. There

and putting the lamp on once more, he
held out his hand.
Cissie reluctantly got on her feet.
There" he said, ''you see now
quickly thing is fixed when the time
is not wasted in foolish conversation.
Least said, soonest mended. Are you
going any farther, Cissie? If you are,
would advise you to walk your ma
chine over these stones"
NO" said Cissie, with deep, quiz
ering sigh, II am going home as quick
ly as can, and then I will burn this
awful costume. did not really want
to put it on, but all the girls in our
club have one"
"Cissie," said the young man, slip
ping his arm around the natty, tailor
made coat. 1.-THE costume is all right,
and don't you be bluffed. 1t looks as
pretty as a picture and suits you down
to the ground. When girl talks
kindly it's simply one of the nattiest
costumes that ever was constructed by
a tailor, but say, Cissie, don't you
think we have misunderstood each
other for long time now, and don't
you think that bicycle made for two
would require less exertion than a
couple Of single machines?"
II don't know but it would" said
Cissie, looking up with smile that
was all the sweeter because there was
just the slightest suspicion of culver
at the corners Of her pretty lips.
And then Jack, with villainy that
surprised himself, taking advantage Of
he lonely situation, stopped down
and kissed her, and Cissie, realizing
the futility of resistance, did not re-

was Cissie on the top of a silver-plated
machine, with the very newest and
most natty cut of an advanced woman's
bicycle costume, clipping over the dis
lance at tremendous rate of speed.

him a saucy nod and u salutation as
she went by. Jack gasped and said un-

the astonishing sight of Cissie in the

next instant he put his muscle to the

The bird was an old one, just knocked

but was always a very sedate bird. He
had the run of a large house and was
one day observed in q crouching atti-
tude pressed tightly into the angle
formed by the wall and floor. He had
discovered that the place was infested
by mice and was watching crevice.
The instant that a mouse showed his
head the crow had him in his beak and
would kill him by striking him with
lightning rapidity two or three times
on the floor and then swallow him.
From that time mouse-catching was

TO PROSECUTE HOLMES.
The Insurance SwindIer Must Answer to
 Three Charges of Murder.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-District Att torney Graham issued an official state- ment of tho steps taken by the local au- thorities in their endeavor to locate the Pitzel children. The district attorney says that after Holmes conviction he questioned him closely about the children and that Holmes told him the following b.ory:
 The boy Howard was taken to Detroit and turned over to Minnie Williams, the woman Holmes met in Chicago. Holmes then took the two girls, who were after. ward murdered, to Toronto, where he sewed $400 in the clothing of Alice. Then he joined Minnie Williams at Niagara Falls, where he gave the girls into her keeping, and the woman and children went first to New York and ultimately to London, where the woman established a massage resort at 80 Veder or Vedar street.
 Holmes says she is known in London as Minnie Williams, Geraldine Wanda or Adele Covell. After telling this story Holmes requested the district attorney to insert the personal in a New York news paper, an account of which has been pub lished. This was done, but at the same time detective was sent in quest of the children. The search began in Cincinnati, thence to Indianapolis, Detroit and finally to Toronto.
 At Detroit Detective Geyer, who had been assigned to the case, found that Holmes had rented the house 241 East Forest avenue, to which he had taken the boy Howard. In the cellar of this house was found hole feet long, 21S feet wide and Is inches deep, but nothing had been buried in it, and all trace of the boy was there lost. What Geyer discovered in To ronto is well known.
 The statement of the district attorney concludes as follows: "In view of the dis covery of these facts the reasonableness of the theory that Holmes killed Pitzel at 1916 Callowhill street, this city, becomes apparent, and whether the prisoner who is securely held in our county prison, shall be tried here for the murder of Pitzel in this jurisdiction or be taken to Toronto to be tried for the murder of the two children depends upon circumstances, but the pub lie may rest assured that no effort will bc spared to bring this great criminal to jus ticc, where he shall be made to suffer the penalty of his misdoings.'

 Of the injured are in hospitals and 12 at their homeS
 The alarm was turned in from Box 13, and it was found that big fire had start ed in the five story hay and feed ware house of J. H. Hermisch x Co.,, at Water and Walnut streets. It spread so as to threaten the entire square bounded by Walnut, Water, Vine and Front streets, and general alarm soon called the entire department. The square is almost in ash es, and the flames at times came very near reaching buildings across the streets. It is believed the fire originated from a match or cigar stump thrown carelcssly near the hay. The warehouse went up like an ex- plosion. The fire spread to Nelson Morris x Co. $ large stables but their large ware. house stood fireproof. The adjoining com- mission and tobacco company warehouses, however, went like piles of kindling, caus- ing such a cOnflagration as to threaten the north end of the suspension bridge. George o. Brown had s, 900 bags of pea nuts in his commission house. They burned like oil and soon wiped out the building and stock, taking with it the large six story tobacco warehouse of l.. Seaman x Co.,, which was full of tobacco. All tho streams of water had no effect l on the fire in these warehouses, and the | fircmen cxcrt"d themselves to save other buildings. The dense smoke from the burning piles of tobacco prevented the fire mon from seeing their danger When the walls of these warehouses fell, the fire spread in all directions, damaging Hay | meyer, Sons & Co.,, Western Dressed Cork company and Henry Heilc & Sons. | At last the Front street walls fell, kill l ing ? and wounding 6 fircmen, as already stated Simpson, the bookkeeper. and | Busch, the aeronaut, were injured inter nally.
