But the mans appearance had not been

With a sudden resolve, the worried
young man crossed over, mounted the
steps and tugged at the bell. The house
was perfectly dark. He got no answer to

never had one. Will you please to state
at once, who the devil you are, and what
the devil you are after"
These questions were put savagely,
and were rendered unduly, or at least un-
pleasly emphatic by his drawing o small
"six-shootcr" from his pocket with a
business-like manner. He held il with
his finger on the trigger.

striving to retain his composure, that

to convince me Of it. But first, do you
object to telling me what that box Of
documents is doing on top Of your folding

He was so confident that Mr. Wheeler
had seen the box, from the fact that it
had been moved, that he hoped to force
his hand 10y showing thus abruptly his
own knowledge Of it. Despite the young
mans control, his cOuntenance betrayed
the most utter surprise. Recovering
himself quickly, he raised the revolver,
covered Goodenough with it, and said
steruly: Take the key out Of my pocket

MAY CALL A HALT.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The action of
the Populist senator's in deciding to put
their own ticket in the field for senate
Offices has caused some of the Republi-
can senators to doubt the eXpediency of
attempting to complete the reOrganiza-
ton of that body at this time, and it now
looks as if this attempt would be defer
red at least until there is greater certain
ty of accomplishing something than now
appears to be the case. Some of the
older Republican senators expressed the
opinion today that it would be unwise to
involve the senate over a matter of such
small importance.

Have Been Druggcd at Dallas.

Have Been Druggcd at Dallas.
Dallas, Feb. S.-(Spccial.) -Last Tues
day morning grand jury of 90 men was
organized by Judge Swaync of the Fed
eral court Among the jurors was II
Mr.. White Of Seagovillc. Soon after the
charge was delivered to the jury Mr..
White disappeared and no amount of in
quiry and searching could throw any
light on his whereabouts. This morn
ing United States Marshal Love re-
ceived n letter from the postmaster at
SeagOville informing him that Mr.
White, with his clothes torn to tatters.
and covered with mud, his hair in great
disorder and the look of Il maniac on his
haggard countenance, appeared in that
neighborhood yesterday evening. He
seemed to have lost his reason, bearing
the look of q maniac Doctors diagnosed
the case and said that Mr.. White was
not laboring under any common insanity,
but that he had been drugged. 1t is sup
posed here that the drug had been admin
lstered by persons against whom the Juror
had evidence that would have been sure
to have caused an Indictment. The
Federal court has ordered the Jury to
take the matter up.
