From Clue to Climax.
By Will N. Harben.
(Continued From Yesterday.)

"Where did the fellow go that got off that train?" asked Hendricks of a policeman. ''I am a detective"
 Both the policemen stared.
 Was you chasin' 'im?" asked one of them, in astonishment.
 'Yes. Where did he go?''
 'He called a cab and got in it. He said he fell off the train and hurt him self little and wanted to go home"
 Did you hear the direction he gave the driver?"
 NO; did you, John?''
 The other policeman shook his head 'I couldn't hear, the crowd kept up such a racket. Whats the chap done ?''
 Hendricks ignored the question, and at once went up in the estimation of both the policemen. Do you know the cabman?''
 The policemen exchanged question ing glances, and then answered.: 'No.'
 A street urchin spoke up. Its one of Jimmy McGuire's rigs, but don't know who was drivin' it.
 Jimmy turns 'em off and hires new ones every day" explained one of the po- JCtilell I1eHtiT1ckS tndllkeQ them ana turned away, look of disappointment on his face. They had gone block back towards the elevated station which they had just left, before he spoke. Then he said:
 Il shall leave you, doctor. Iknow you want to get back to business, and you can't really help me just now"
 Dr. Lampkin understood that the de- tective wanted to be left alone, so he held out his hand.
 You are going to follow up that cab, l suppCse," said he, land find out where the man was taken"
 ''There would be no use in that, :" Hendricks replied. "He was simply driven to some railway or ferry station, and will soon be in New York, lost like a needle in haystack. The truth is, ! have got to find some other line to work on. If the fellow should take a notion to leave the city, he might never be caught, and we should not be able to help that young man and his girl out of their trouble. I'll see you before long"

CHAPTER XVII,

Hendricks walked back to 234 Union street and rang the bell. Mrs. Champ -ey came to the door, holding her son by the hand. She was pale, and her eyes were red with weeping.
 Come in,'' she said, coldly. 'I sup pose you did not catch my brother, and BOW want to search the house."
 We did not catch him, that is true madame," replied the detective, as the three went into the parlor. Hut did not come to do anything that would be unpleasant to you l came chiefly to apologize for my roughness just now If 1 had reflected, would not have pushed you aside as I d.d; but, as ] was. it seemed our only chance of se- curing him, and we already had been delayed"
 Why, you must be" She paused.

 ~Cood gracious" she cried, putting her arm around her son and drawing him to her. T knew it was you, because I have heard how considerate you al ways are with women. Isit-isit, then, 50 so serious? At first l hoped it was only some trifling act of misconduct; but if-if-i suppose you are employed cnly on criminal eases. Has he"
 Hendricks sat down.
 ''I am afraid it is a. serious charge, Mrs -Champney; but it is only charge, ,~eoT2F icted.'
 The woman's face fell, and the arm around the boy was trembling visibly. What has he done?" she gasped. "You may as we'll let it out. I want to know. What has he done?''
 There was certain man whom your brother hated" replied the detective. His name was Strong Richard N Strong"
 The woman stared, then Hendricks her eyes waver.
 '.Yes, perhaps he did hate him. He had good reason for doing so; Strong robbed him of every cent of his savings when they were partners in mining en terprises out west years ago. Tha was my brothers one weak point; h. was really sort of monomaniac on tn subject. But what has that to d, with-''

 ''Oh, my God. you don't mean it? M. brother could not have killed him Tom could not have done such thing Oh, Mr. Hendricks, don't tell me it i true. He has been enough trouble t me, without my having to face such horror as that"
 q am sorry to say it looks very mucl as if he did it, Hendricks replied. Il fact, I have rather strong evidenc against him."
 Drawing her child to sofa with hel the woman sat down. Hendricks wa afraid she was going to faint, she ha turned so white, but when he starte to rise to her assistance she motione him back.

RHEA'S WEEK OF GRIEF.
All Caused Because Black Cat Ran
in Front of Her.

''Superstitious? Well, I guess I am.
have sign and omen for everything
under the sun. People can laugh at
superstition if they want to, but 1 hap
pen to know there is something in it. -
The speaker was Miss Gay Rhea, the
young lady who pleased several hun
dred people at the Crawford theater
last week. She was making up in her
dressing room for the farewell perform
ance Saturday night, and she paused a
moment to pick up rabbits foot brush
and thrust it into a box of rouge. As
she transferred the rouge laden brush
to her cheek she continued:
There is everything in superstition.
I have never known it to fail. The day
I arrived in Topeka almost stepped on
a black cat as I stepped off the car at
the depot platform, and it ran directly
in front of me, Just look at the trouble
L have had this week as a result OF 1t.
Miss Rhea had a perfect right to
speak of trouble. 1t was not matter
of superstition but one of painful real
ity. To summarize, Miss Rhea's trou-
bles during the past week consisted of
the following:
On the opening night one of the mem
bers of her company attempted to sing
a ballad and broke down completely.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Stanley
Wall fell down a flight of stairs in the
theater just before it was time to ring
up the curtain on the first act of 1.-THE
IrOnmaster," the accident delaying and
almost spelling the entire performance.
On the same evening Miss Rhea was
compelled to discharge one of the mem
bers of her company for becoming
gloriously intoxicated and appearing
for the performance in this condition.
Thursday Mr.. L. E. Streeter, who
acted as manager of the company, no
titled Miss Rhea that he would quit
the company, compelling the actress to
make hurried arrangements for supply
ing his place
These were the principal items Of
trouble Miss Rhea had to contend with
during the week. In addition, there were
a number of minor incidents which
combined with the more important ones
made it a thoroughly disagreed bIe week
for the young lady who has already
scored a success as a new star on the
popular price stage.
Ihat black cat was responsible for
every annoyance have had to contend

ton to the cat crossing nv path a

notice these things, and they invariably
work out. After the experiences 1 have
had. I could never be convinced to the
contrary.
Nov as another instance" the ac-
tress continued. 1.-The young man I
was compelled to discharge for intoxi-
talk to me last week at Hannibal Mo-
and all the time he talked to me I
whistled. I did it absentmindedly. but
after he left 1 thought about it. and I
said to myself, that man will not be
with the company a week. It is an old
stage superstition that if you whistle
while one of your company is in your
dressing room you whistle that member
out of the company. This instance
proves how true it is.

MAINE VOTES TODAY.
The Election is Quiet With Out
look Favorable for Re-
publicanS.

Portland, Ne. Sept. 12.-Mafne state
and congressional elections in off years
are quiet and today's election is no ex-
ception to the rule. Neither Repubh-
cans nor Democrats have made an ac-
tive campaign and the vote promises
to be light. The Republicans will I'M
doubtedly re-elect Governor Powers
and the four congressman, NIessrS. Reed,
Dingley, Burleigh and Boutelle. Nearly
the whole Republican legislative ticket
will be elected. There were only five
Democrats in the last legislature and
the Democratic minority in the new one
will not be formidable.
In some districts the Democrats made
no nomina lions.
In Portland the voting began light
and a comparative small vote was
thrown up to the noon hour. The Re
publicans will probably elect their tick
ct here but as there is some cutting on
both sides, the result cannot be fore
told with certainty. The Democratic
nominee for governor is Mayor Samuel
Lord OF Saco. There is considerable in
terest in the vote that former Congress-
man Luther H. Mckinney. Speaker
Reeds opponent, will poll in the First
congressional district which includes
Portland.
