and twos, and he shrank back into the
shadow. Then. on a sudden, he saw a
ngure glide along the walk, across the
street, and disappear in the fatal doorway
Now All Kim shook as with an ague and
was alert for what might happen.
Was this the man for whom the Three
Brothers had laid their snare? No victim
would go unsusnectingly to such house
and alone. Yet curiosity was strong upon
him. and he wished that he dared venture
TO the door and listen, and perchance learn
something of the dreadful deeds of the
Three Brothers of the Hatchet.
AS he looked and listened and trembed
two men came along the walk. He was re-
and listened TO their talk.

one.

All Kim was stricken with fear to see that
this was one of the white devils policemen
for he had been arrested for the awful
crime of holding n lottery ticket. and had
feen kept thirty days in jail. Yet he was
not too much in fear to hear the policeman
as he said. That house has been TO rint

with a laugh. ''for houses are sometimes

Now All Kim was trembling again. for
at these words he knew the voice: and it
was the voice of the good doctor for whom
he worked. who had stood by him when he
was in trouble. and had given him back his
place after he had come from the jail

buried his knife In the throat of the Stout

and his ears told him that they all talked
al once. And at last he saw that the
devils were not of the air, but Of the white
devils police. and he learned that he and
the ran Brother and the Small Brother
were under arrest, and that the Stout
Bfother had gone where the Joss and the
devils deal with his kind. And dimly came
to his mind the words of one of the police
men:

AND the doctor explained as much he
knew of the affair in which he had played
the tale of the Three Brothers with sad
disarray of the English language. So All

with astonishment as well as terror for
not only did he see the white doctor with
Tall Brother and the Stout Brother, but on
the floor. tied with ropes and bleeding from
the head, lay Chinese, and the face OF
that Chinese was the face Of the shrewd
Wong Chez. Between wonder that so wise
man should have been taken by the
Brothers, fear lest his friend was dead, and
the lack Of a plan by which to rescue the
two from the hands of the Dreadful Three,
1t was not until Wong Chee stirred and
groaned that the words that were spoken
came to his understanding. Then he observ-
ed that the Small Brother with the lame leg
stood before the doctor, t,rinned evily and
spoke in English, while the Stout Brother
with hatehet and the Tall Brother with a
running moose. held to the captive, made
silent threats of death.
You will be hanged he heard the doc
tor say.
'1f they catch as said the Small Broth
er, showing his teeth.
THAT is easy" said the doctor. "The
police have only to find out the man who
rented this house and they will lay hands
on you at once"
THE house not rented" returned the
Small Brother. with his evil grin more pro-
nounced than before.
why, how are you here then?' asked
the doctor
One man he go one time, he get key"
said the Small Brother, with a silent laugh
that was terrible to see. We make key all
back. He not like house. That long time
ago. We have key. We come here in dark
tonight. No man us come. No man see
us 60 You not do all same We tell you, we
leave you heah.' And the Small Brother
pointed to the floor and made suggestive
gestures as though the body of the doctor
lay there dead
But the police will find me. and they
will know that 1t is murder" argued the
doctor.
Police no catch u.s." replied the Small,
Brother. with pride and scorn mingled in
his voice Some day catch you this place;
catch Wong Chez that place, pointing to
the floor. "All same say, 'Chinaman fight;
white man fight; both get kill .
THAT will not be the end of it, said the
doctor, in a tone of menace and warning.
Il was in Los Angeles when your high
binders killed two of the white police. Then
the white men came with guns and knives
and fire, and they shot and stabbed and
hanged every Chinaman they could find,
and they burned their Chinatown off the
face of the earth. Many were killed, and
many hundreds were hurt and all ran for
their lives. Do you remember that?"
Now at these words the face of the Small
Brother lost something of it's look of dia-
bolic pleasure For even the Three Broth

CREW WENT TO SLEEP
And a Disastrous Railroad Wreck
Followed.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. S.-A disas-

senger train and an extra freight oc-
Cured early this mroning on the central
division of the ST. Louis, Iron Mountain
e Southern railway near Pollock, La.
AS a result two men were instantly
killed and two were fatally injured.
The dead:
ENGINEER WATKINS, of the
freight, killed instantly.
FIREMAN HOYSTE, of the freight,
crushed to death
The fatally wounded are:
Baggageman Baker, of the passenger
train.
Fireman Mccoy. OF the passenger
train.
Engineer Gregory, of the passenger
train was severely crushed.
Both trains were running at high
rate of speed when the crash came and
it is miraculous that so many persons
escaped injury. Engineer Gregory and
Fireman Mccoy jumped to save their
lives after reversing the engine. They
waited too long, however, and were
caught in the debris.
The extra freight, in control of Engi-
neer Watkins, had orders to meet the
passenger train at Patterson's spur.
The crew was evidently asleep as no
stop was made at the meeting point
and the train was running at a rapid
rate when a few miles beyond the
switch it crashed into the passenger

Vice President of the Rock Island
Road to Go With the D. Z. & w.

Chicago, Feb. S.-Vice President w.
H. Truesdale of the Rock Island left
last night for the east, where he will
confer with directors of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western with reference
to accepting the presidency of that road.
Mr.. Truesdale said before leaving that
he had talked with the directors on the
subject some time ago, but that no ten
der of the position had been made to
him. The conference which he now
goes to attend was then arranged.
There is hardly a doubt that when
Mr.. TrueSda1e returns from New York
the office of the first vice president OF
the Rock Island will be vacant.
Mr.. TrueSdale is considered one of the
strong railroad men of the west. He
came to the Rock Island in 1894, sue
ceeding E. st. John as general manager,
and with the added title OF vice preSi-
dent. Previous to that time he was
assistant traffic manager of the Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha,
president of the Minnea polls & ST. Louis
road and later receiver of the same

THE IOWA'S MEN
Were Disappointed in Finding They
Were Not to Go to Manila.

San Francisco, Gala, Feb. S.-The
battIeship Iowa has arrived here from
New York from which port she sailed
in company with the oregon and two
consorts October II last. The voyage
from the Atlantic to the Pacific was a
pleasant one, both the Iowa and the
oregon making the journey without a
hitch of any account. The Oregon left
the Iowa when off the Peruvian coast,
setting her bow toward the Hawaiian
islands.
When the news of the Iowa's coming
reached this city, several tug boats
which had been chartered in advance,
got under steam and went to the Golden
Gate to meet the vessel. The officers
and men were anxious for news but
were not prepared for the startling de-
velopments in the Philippines in the last
few days and the news giverS could not
talk of the event fast enough to please
the sailors, who were anxious to know
if the Iowa was to be ordered to Manila
to take part in the trouble. When in
formed that she would be detained here
for some time, the disappointment show
ed visibly on the faces of the tars.
The Iowa probably will remain in this
harbor until tomorrow, when she will go
to Mare Island to be Scraped and to
have several minor repairs made.

THEY MUST LEARN TO WRITE.
Another Freak Bill Has Bobbed Up
In the Senate

There are some doctors in Kansas
who will be compelled to learn to write
in English, if a bill introduced by Sen
ator Shaffer Pop.) of Fort Scott is
taken seriously.
1t is direct in it's purpose, and if
passed will require all physicians,
medical doctors and surgeons in the
state of Kansas to write, in the English
language, without abbreviatiOn, all
their prescriptions for the compound
ing of medicines or the administration
of any drug or drugs to any person, and
to punish any neglect or refusal to do
so.'
The senator refers to medical doc
tors in no uncertain tones, as he says
his bill is blow at the trusts"
Senator Farrelly will propose an
amendment requiring medical doctors"
to write legibly, while Tom Anderson
thinks this class of professional men
should make two copies of prescriptions
so a patient could preserve one and
secure his medicine by competitive bids,
and prevent druggists securing another
chance at the invalid by filing the pre-
ScriptfOn away.
Senator Stone proposes that the med
ical doctor" shall accompany his pre-
scription to the druggist and see that
the patient or purchaser thoroughly
comprehends what he is buying.
