At my fiat In Rossetti Mansions,
Chelsea, found a telegram from the
Staines police summoning me to the
inquest to be held next morning at
ii o'clock, and also one from Ella
asking me to return. The latter l felt
inclined to disregard; the former l
could not. Her words and actions
were, indeed, beyond comprehension,
but in the light of this knowledge l
had by mere chance acquired it SEEM

unworthiness of my love was some

effort would be availing to compel his
lying tongue to speak the truth. Yet,
II he were my rival for Elias hand,
might he not have lied when ques-
toned regarding the events of that
fateful afternoon when the secret de-
fensive alliance had been so mysteri-
ously exchanged for dummy? Jeal-
ousy knows neither limit nor remorse.
Next morning, after spending the
greater part Of the night sitting alone
smoking and endeavoring to penetrate
the ever-increasing veil of mystery
that had apparently enveloped her, l
travelled down to Staines, arriving
there just in time to take a cab to the
Town Hall, where the inquest was to
be held. The town was agog, for a
crowd of those unable to enter be-
cause the room was already filled to

outside, eagerly discussing the tragic
affair in all it's various aspects and
hazarding the widest and most i'm

so heard my name shouted loudly by
a police constable. l was required as
a witness, and succeeded in struggling

He stretched forth his hand to give
me the copy of Holy Writ wherein to
take the oath, when suddenly my eyes
fell upon watch and collection of
miscellaneous articles lying upon the
table, the contents of the dead mans
pockets.
One small object alone riveted my
attention. Needless of the Coroner's
words, l snatched it up and examined
1t closely.
Next second I stood breathless and
aghast, dumbfounded by an amazing
discovery that staggered belief

II the information contained in the fol-
lowing lines had been in the possession Of
James H. Wallace, of Detroit, Mich, he
would have saved more than 5000 and
would have enjoyed five years Of health
and happiness, instead Of torture.
Mr.. Wallace is an expert accountant and
bookkceper, in the Office of c. A. Haber-
korn & Co., Detroit. He lives with his
family in pretty home at 240 Sixth Street.
He was marked by misfortune from his
birth, having inherited scrofuia.
Sill young man, MIR. Wallace seemed,
as he told his story, 10 have long lie Of
vigorous health and usefulness before him.
He tells about the remarkable incident
that led to his complete restoration as follows:
"The first physician soon said had
constitutional blood disorder, and by con-
slant treatment and diet it might be Cured!
"3lood purifiers and spring medicines
made the eruptions more aggressive and
painful. In 1888 l was fearful looking
sight; in fact, repul5ive.
Large Ulcers on my limbs discharged
continuously.
II tried everything; took medical baths;
went to Medicine Lake, Washington; spent
over 5000 for mcdicine and MEDICAL ser
vice-ail wasted money, time and energy.

me. Its beginning seems Ike romance.

Then why did you not tell him Of

Because they were friends, and l
did not wish to arouse luminosity be-

Slight applause followed this reply.
but it was instantly suppressed
The Coroner, to bring matters to
conclusion, asked Now, knowing Mr..
Ogle as intimately as you did, do you
suspect that he might have been MUIR
dered?'
She gasped, swayed slowly forward
and gripped the corner of the baize-
covered table to steady herself
"Yes," she answered in clear but
tremulous voice II believe he was
murdered"
A thrill of excitement and wonder
ran through the onlookers. Her hand
some face was ashen pale, and her
breast, beneath her blouse of cookbook
ing print, rose and fell quickly, show
ing how intense was her agitation.
"And what causes you to believe
this?' asked the Coroner, raising his
brows in interrogation.
II have suspicious" she answered In
a low voice, striving to remain calm
and glancing quickly around the silent
! assembly.
You suspect some person of having
been guilty of MURDER" he asked, In
terested.
Not exactly that" she said quickly.
THAT Mr. Ogle was murdered l feel
confident, but who committed the
crime l am unaware. 1t is a mystery
Knowing Mr.. Ogle so well as | did, he
entrusted to me knowledge Of certain
facts that he strenuously kept secret
from others. Yet l cannot conceive
who would profit by his DEATH"
At this point the Inspector of Police
rose and expressed a desire to know,
through the Coroner, whether she had
quarrelled WITH Mr.. Ogle.
"The day prior to his death we had
few words" she fsltered.
Upon what subject?" asked the
Coroner.
She at first refused to reply, but az
ter being pressed said: I'VE quarrelled
about my engagement to Mr.. Deedes"

of F. J. Gillette fell on the walk
in front of Mrs. Wright's residence
and died soon after being carried

ance was summoned as soon as
possible but it could not avail.
Heart failure was the cause of her
death.
Mrs. Gillette was born in Indi

ing Taylor. She was married in
1867 and the family came to Ore
gon in 1882. They have resided
in Corvallis for eight years. Mrs.

The Bank-Stock Issue.

The Corvallis Times has fou:.u a
magnificent objection to Georg-
Lilly, the next sheriff. Ii is such
Il splendid and convincing argu-
meat against his election that Il he
Tin:e> has saved it until this week.
Ii is this: George Lilly owns or
has own:d bank stock. What Il
crime this appears to us, poor
newspaper men. WHO have NO
bank stock.
Bat who can absolve the Times !?
Has it just awakened to the eiioi-
nous sinfulness of bank ST ock
ownership? Did not Peter Rick
ard oTn stock in the First Ma
tional Bunk nl Corvallis two years
ago when The Times supported
him for sheriff? Yea. verify.
And more. Mr.. Rickard owned
bank stock as late as last August
and il he ever dispose,! of it the
fact has not been publicly an
nOunced.
The GAZETTE does not itself be-
lieve that this ownership of bank
stock is any reflection upon Mr..
Richard. But it is every whit as
discrcditab!e to him as to Mr..
Lilly. We wish verybndy own
ed bank stock, but we do not wish
one man TO be blamed for possess
ing such stock and another praised
for the same kind of ownership.
1t is a sort OF speculation, these
political campaign methods of tbs
Times. Isn't that paper ashamed
of every other political article it
publishes? Doesn't it long for an
oasis Of fairness and sensibility i'm !
the dreary waite Of partiality and !
trivialily?
1t is difficult to discuss the issue
of bank stock ownership, raised by |
the Times, with any degree of
patience. If there was the slight
est grain of reason in such an OBJ
lection it would have no Just
weight in this campaign, since
both candidates must answer the
same charge.
