CHAPTER ".

John Kendall read this review OF the
Powell mystery with care, and when
it's perusal was concluded he bent his
head upon his desk and groaned in bit
terness. A year had passed, and the
bright hopes that characterized its open
ing were clouded with a shadow that
was eating out his life. He had grown
pale, thin and nervous.
One by one had been destroyed the
hopes they entertained that the mystery
would be solved. Suspicion, faint at
FIRST, but gradually growing stronger as
theories came TO naught, was now gen
orally directed against the unfortunate
Young man, and in the minds of many
his wife shared his guilt. His actions,
he felt certain, had been carefully noted
for months. Every transaction he made
in the affairs of his employer was
watched aud commented upon. No mat
ter which way he might turn, he Yai
confronted with suspicion.
Throughout the long search he had
given the authorities every possible as
istance--throwing open to their III
spection all the books and papers in MIR.

Nor did Cochrane forget his promise,

WE SOLVE a FUTILE.

The Fredericksburg Free Lance is need
lcssly puzzling It's brain TO understand
the attitude of The Times towards the
Mckinley administration. and seems TO
think 1t most peculiar hat The Times
Is not concerning itscl as TO the person
mel Of President McKinley's Cabinet.
But there is nothing puzzling in the
attitude Of Times. 1t is a Democratic
newspaper, and none the less so because
It could not and did not support a Popu-
listic platform. 1t fought that plat
form with all its might. not in the in
terest Of Mckinley, and in no sense as
a partisan of the Republican nominee.
If the Democratic party had nominated
a Democrat on a Democratic platform,
The Times would have been one OF Nc
Kinloy's most pronounced opponents, for
The Times does not believe in Repub-
Iicanism or McKinleyism, which Is an
other name for protection. Therefore,
The Times does not consider that Major
Mckinley is under any sort Of obligation
10 IL anu ill'l'iVAt u N''R ~
TO advise him as to the selection of the
members of his Cabinet. The Times Is
not training with the Republicans, and
does not aspire to be taken into the
private councils of that party.
OF course, we feel an interest in the
policy of the Mckinley administration
he interest that every citizen should
feel in good government. We would
see the credit of the Government MAIN
tanned. We would see the financial
system reformed so that the country
may have a local currency adequate TO
the demands of business. We would
see a tariff for revenue only without
that form of so-called protection which
helps to build up the business OF one
man or class of men at the expense OF
another man or the masses. IT would
see every species of class legislation
abolished. For this reason, The Times
resisted the Populistic income tax. which
exempted the inordinate sum of 5000
from fdNatlOl. anu 81 ti'ht'N 81
class of exempts, Who were well able to
contribute from their incomes TO the
support Of the Government. This ana
this only. was the ground of the OPP
position of The Times TO the income
tax law, the general principle OF when
is correct, II should be put INTO prac-
tice upon true Democratic lines as we
some day hope TO see done.

are worth. But as TO presidential "P-

corned. That is a matter which lrosi-
dent Mckinley and the esteemed Free
Lance may settle between themselves ana
