CHAPTER ".
DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND

Mr.. Barnes, after discovering the
cameo button, Immediately left the
apartment. With little loss of time he
reached the Fifth Avenue hotel. He
found Wilson sitting in the lobby and
learned from him that Mr.. Mitchell had
not yet come down stairs. He made his
subordinate happy by complimenting
him upon his work and generating him
from blame because of his having lost
his man for few hours the day before.
With the button in his pocket Mr..
Barnes found it easy to be good natured.
If the truth were known, he was chue-
king to himself.
The thought which proved such fund
of merriment was the idea that his man
up stairs had proved himself just as hu-
man as ordinary criminals, since he had
left behind him the very telltale mark
which he had boasted would not be
found after he had committed his crime.
Externally, however, there was no sign
to show that Mr.. Barnes was in any way
excited. He calmly asked at the desk for
Mr.. Mitchell, and sent up his card just
as any ordinary visitor might have done.
In few minutes the hallboy returned
with the curt message, "Come up"
Mr.. Barnes was shown up one fight
Of stairs into a suit of tworoom and
bath overlooking Twenty-third street.
The room which he passed into from the
hall was fitted up like bachelors par
lor. Comfortable stuffed chairs and two
sofas, folding reading chair, an up
right piano in mahogany case with
handsome piano lamp beside it, carved
center table on which stood a reading
lamp, cigar case in bronze, photo al
buns, handsome pictures on the walls
in gold frames, elegant vases on the
mantel, an onyx clock, full sized figure
Of Moor carved in wood serving as
card receiver--in fact, everything about
the place was significant of wealth,
luxury and refinement. Could this be
the den Of 2 murderer? It seemed not, un-
less there might be some powerful hid
den motive, which would make a man
who was evidently a gentleman stoop to
such crime. According to Mr.. Barnes
experience such a motive must involve
woman AS yet there was no woman in
this case, save the corpse which he had
just left All this flashed through the
detectives mind as he noted his sur
roundings in a few swift glances. Then
he heard a voice from the next room
say:
"Come in, Mr.. Barnes. We must not
stand upon ceremony with one another. "
Mr.. Barnes, in answer to the invita-
tion, crossed into the adjoining room and
noticed at once that the sleeping apart
ment was as luxurious as the parlor.
Mr.. Mitchell was standing in front of a
mirror shaving himself, being robed in
silk morning wrapper.
Pardon this intrusion, began Mr..
Barnes. "But you told me might call
at any time, and"--
mo excuses necessary, except from
me. But I must finish shaving, you
know. A man can't talk with lather on
one side Of his face.
Certainly not. Don't hurry. I can
wait. )"
"Thank you'll Take seat. You will
find that armchair by the bed comforta.

in South Dakota.
PIERRE, s. D., Oct. l0.-(Special.) I'm
less straight tickets are the rule this year
there will in all probability be many de-
fectiye ballots cast. In former years the
judges were supposed to count a ballot
where 1t could be ascertained what the in
tent of the voter was even II 1t was not
exactly technically correct, but the amend
ments to the ballot law passed last winter
while they did not strike out the pro
vision of the statute allowing the judges
to ascertain as nearly as possible from
he marking the intent of the voter, II did
change the word may to must in sec
ton 4, laws of 1898, which provides for the
Crasure of n name in a ticket which has
been marked in a circle at the top. Under
the old law one might have his vote counted
for a candidate, which he would cross on
another ticl ct from the one marked in the
circle even if he did neglect TO erase the
corresponding name on his ticket marked
in the circle. failure to erase under the
statute passed last winter Compeis the
judges to count the full ticket, even If
name on another ticket Is marked, plainly
showing the intent OF the voter. The law
of 1895 also strikes from the former law
the words. "or it otherwise appears that
no other person has been voted for the
same Office" where they follow provisions
for the counting of a ballot in which the
voter has departed from the straight ticket
to vote for some one not a regular nominee
of his party. These two changes virtually
prohibit the judges from using their judg-
mont as to the intent Of the voter, and com
pel them to count the straight ticket, how
ever plain the marking.

MAY DEFEAT THE IRRIGATION LAW
Proposcd Amendment 10 he voted on
In south Dakota.

PIERRE, s. D., Oct. lO.-(Special)-One OF
the amendments which is to be voted upon
at the coming election is to allow ANY
county municipal corporation, civil town
ship, district, or other subdivision" to incur
an additional Indebtedness OF 10 per cent
Of its assessed valuation, besides the pres
cnt limitation OF per cent for the purpose
OF providing water for irrigation and do
nestle purposes" but further provides that
such additional Indebtedness shall not be
incurred without a majority vote Of the
electors in favor thereof This amendment
will hardly receive the recognition that II
would have received Immediately after its
passage, the increased rainfall OF the past
two years having limited the desire for ir-
rigation. Then many people are adverse
to granting extended powers OF increasing
Indebtedness, and on that ground viii very
likely oppose 1t, There is no question thar
it would be a good law for communities
which are in need Of increased water SUP
ply, but it is a statute which can be abused.
