wet and warm.

he murmured: Missing: Lieut.. Bever-

His companion had touched his fore
head lightly with his lips, risen to his

his head, had emptied his revolver into
the silence of the night.

cheerily.

| cats scrambling down rocks. A moving
| white blur appeared somewhere in the
| thick darkness, then another, and an
| other; and a suggestion Of lowtoned
| cultural conversation reached War
| ringt0n's straining ears. He shifted
| his revolver to his left hand and gently
drew his sword. Then from over there

In another moment dozen bowling

! toward the spot whence the groan seem

! erratically, and Warrington held his
| fire for few internninable seconds.
Then they closed in, and one stumbled

Warrington felt the man grab him as
he fell, and fired with the barrel Of his

The state line tavern in the northwe part
of Hammond enjoys the peculiar distinction
of being half In Indiana and half in Illinois.
The line that divides=these two states at this
point runs through the building, as shown in
the accompanying cut. In 1882 the east sec
ton was erected by Mrs. Robert Werley and
rented as a saloon. During 1892 the west
section was added by her so as to extend
over into Illinois about twenty-five feet. The
second and third floors are used as hotel.
There are two entrances to the saloon on the
ground floor, one from the state of Illinois,
the other and front one from Indiana. Plum-
mer street runs in front Of the tavern. The
location Of the structure with reference to
the two states Is such that the imaginary
state line runs dtagonally through the build
ing.
This peculiar feature of the two states

The dowager Duchess Of Sutherland
has once more come before the public
as the heroine of sensation.
This time, however, she is the vic
tim, not the aggressor. According to
her own story, reported to the chief of
police in Paris, she lost $150000 worth
of Jewels on Oct. II, while en- route
from Paris to London. She had not
gone further than Amiens when she
discovered that the satehel containing
the Jewels had disappeared and that
an empty counterfeit had been substi-
tuted.
