1t has been the effort of the management
Of the Dewey testimonial at the Grand
Opera tomorrow evening to furnish enter
tainment Of varied description, in order
that all classes Of patriotic people might
be encouraged to aid in the glorious en-
terprise. The response to this effort has
been generous, and as a result, a bill of

will be sweet solos by the best of local
singers, trick bicycle riding by acknowl-
edged masters Of the wheel, dances by
clever women, and readings of appropos
intent by the best talent obtainable. Ad-

The game consists in keeping the hall

him uncomfortable comment in

boy AZ the door had spoken of him as
q sort of circus COON" but he was
clearly not negro, The hair showed
that, and its evidence was confirmed
by the regularity of the features and
the transparent depth OF the dark
brown complexion. A little spot paint
ed between the eyebrows showed the
lad to be a Hindoo.
Wllls-Mayhew explained to Standish
that he had the full story Of n murder
which had just been done in a resi-
dence street up town and that as he
wanted q place. he would write it up to
show what lie could do.

Standlsh, lis supplied US by regular
channels of information, The police
will report the facts in the case, and
then. after making our own inyestiga-
tons. we shall give it the space which
it may deserve"
This one is different" rejoined the
Engllshman. "Without this story OF
mine you will never learn of the tragic
nature of the death, for the body when
found will display no signs other than
those which attend sudden but nat

ting WITH legs crossed on n chair NJ MS
side Standish watched them take their
places and noticed that Mt the same
time that this man with the story OF
murder, and an exclusive murder at
that, drew IL bunch of copy paper be-
fore him he began to get out pipe and
pouch as one who prepares to do II
thoughtful piece of work. Then the
cares Of the vity desk pressed on the
editor once more and lie ceased to re-
member the two In their far corner.
Possibly an hour had gone by when
Btandish passed on some errand Of his
work in the neishborhood of the big
Englishman and the little IIindoo lad.
Recalling the nature OF their task, he
remarked that the man had bulky
pile of completed sheets before him and
that his land was still travelling rap
idly over the paper without any inter
ruption OF his smoking. But Standish
was attracted by the little IIndoo. lie
sat IN the attitude which Indian art
has famlliarizcd among the western
nations Is the Images of the countless
gods of the peninsula. The lads eyes
were riveted on Il ball of glass or clys-
tai which he held in the palms OF his
two hands, the fingers being intcrlaCed
In his lap. In n soft monotone he was
speaking rapidly to his companion in

liquid speech which the editor could
not identify, but which he thought was
probably some one of the many IIindoo
tongues. AS he passed by them Stand
ish found his glance caught by the gilt
ter of the toy which the boy held. and
In the moment of passing he seemed 10
see picture in the glitter. picture MS
OF something happening somewhere. Ii
was just fash, and he was far too
much occupied with other things in
think of returning for another look.
Not long after this Wills-Mayhew
brought thick heap of manuscript to
the desk and laid it before Standish
who saw that, although it was written
in generous hand there was matter
enough for at least two columns.
There is the story of the murder"
said the Englishman. You will find
1t all there except the name and the
present place Mt which the murderer
may be found. You can pay me for
those at your best rates for good ma
terial, and will come in tomorrow
and clear up the mystery which still
remains In the story. \ cannot do II to-
day, for Abdul is tired out, and must

A rush of real copy came along Just
then. and in the hurry the Englishman
and the little Hindoo went off together
1t was not until comparatively later in
the day that Standish found time to
look at the copy thus left with him for
trial. 1t did not begin in very prom
ising way. There were many pages Of
an introduction which hlanketed what
ever story might be to follow. There
was much moral theorlzing, and the
apt citation from classical sources
showed that the writer was both a
man of wide reading ana inst as wide
