But this was not the sole means employed

and supervisors to have 1890 copies of the
supplement printed, in place of only $50,

ham Faulkner company. Though so large
proportlonate number had never been
printed before in this county, and probably
not elsewhere, there was no doubt felt of

A STRANGE PAIR
A Couple Of Wealthy Hobos Excite
Suspicion

Two hobos We're brought to the county
jail yesterday from Lancaster by Constable
Cammer to serve five days sentence each
for vagrancy. While the officers have NO
evidence against the men, they are inclined
to think that perhaps they may be wanted
elsewhere, and the methods pursued by the
pair are, rather suspicious: The men were
of Frank and w. Gohler. When searched
the first man was discovered to be the
possessor of $l36.97, a razor and strop
rigged up as the hoboes generally contrive, a
new pair of scissors, a rubber drinking cup
and a caseknife. In his pocketbook was also
found shipping receipt from Fresno to this
city, over the Southern Pacific route, and
made out in the name of W. Gohler. This
receipt was for three cases of Autographs,
one box of household goods and another
box and bundle, the valuation being fixed at
$3.50. On William was discovered $l548S, a
razor, glass cutter made out of piece of
umbrella rib with the wheel attached at
the END, pair of scissors and knife.
The men claimed that they were photog-
Nphers, and it is possible that the goods
shipped from Fresno may be their outfit.

Novel Disappearing "wind Retreat" the
Invention Of a Kansas Man.
R. F. Bond, of Erie, Kan, has in
vented and patented novelty in cy-
clone retreats which is attracting con-
siderable attention. He calls it a
disappearing stormhouse," and it con-
sists of water-tight casing about nine
feet deep and six feet square, having
bevelled stills around the top and a post
standing in the center, the casing be-
Ing into the ground, so that the bev-
elled stills come even with the surface.
A cage, or elevator car, is made to
move up and down in this casing, a
hole being in the floor of this cage to
allow the center post to pass through:
The roof projects over the sides Of the
cage about five inches, which, when
sunk into the ground, fits snugly over
the bevelled stills Of the casing, thus
making it impossible for water or
wind to enter.
The cage when not in use stands
constantly above ground, and is held
In position by four bolts, which are To-
Gated under the cage floor and con-
trolled by lever, one movement of
which moves all four of the bolts.
When the floor of the cage is even
with the surface of the ground, by
moving the lever the bolts are thrust
out into mortises made in the sill at
top of casing, thus locking the cage.
The cage remains in this position
when not in use. When it is wanted
for use 1t is only necessary to enter
the cage, move the bolt lever, and the
cage, being equipped with a governor,
descends to the bottom of the casing or
pit.

He was admitted to the plain little

his throat, he pressed his hand to his
brow, and Raising his eyes, he saw be-
fore him a tall, graceful woman her
golden hair coiled low at the back Of
her head. and a pair of serious blue
eyes regarding him attentively. A

CHAPTER XIV.
Only a Card.

Lesley! Lesley! Oh, don't look at
weep and mourn~-upbraid me as the
cause of all your bitter sorrow, and
anything, only do not stand there in
such silent, frozen horror and despair.
Lesley! Lesley Oh, Heaven, l have
killed her!"
The wild words dropped from Max
Ruthven's ashen lips. White and still,
dazed, bewildered by the awful shock,
the suddenness OF the fearful blow,
Lesley stood, half compromising his
meaning. To her there was but one
word now; 1t caught and held within
it's relentless grasp all the hopes and
joys, and possibilities of happiness in
her Hfe-that one cruel, bitter word
dead!
Max Ruthven caught her cold, white
hands, and pressed his lips upon them
unrebuked, for she knew not what he
did. He was scarcely conscious Of his
own actions. All that was best and
truest In this mans nature was stirred
by this sight of this wordless grief,
this dumb despair. In that hour the
evil in Max Ruthven's heart died a
sudden death, and bitter remorse took
possession Of him. All the iniquity of
which the man had been guilty skunk
away out Of sight now in the presence
Of the one pure love Of his whole god
less life.
Frightened at Lesley's stony calm
and fearless agony he sprang to the
bellrope and rang wild peal, which
brought Mrs. Greyson and Maude in
terrified haste to the apartment. A
few words from Ruthven sufieed to
explain the situation.
"Oh, my poor darling!" cried Maude,
throwing her arms about Lesley's neck
and drawing her head down upon her
shoulder. Cry, do try to cry. Lesley.
Oh, Mrs. Greyson. what can we do to
break this unnatural calm? 1t will
kill her."
Speak to her of him-of Mr.. Ards
ley" suggested Mrs. Greyson. Lesley,
dear" she added, taking the girls cold
hand in her own. "he is dead. John,
he whom you loved so dearly, your
own husband. is dead, Lesley"
Dead"
Lesley repeated the word in bewil-
dered tone; her eyes stared vacantly
before her; but nothing seemed to have
power to unlock the floodgates and let
the wild tears burst forth
Let me make suggestion, If you
please, Mrs. Greyson." ventured Max,
at. last. Suppose the-the body is
brought here into her presence? The
sight of it might have the desired eff
feet l am afraid that she will lose her
