only little beyond the furthest edge
of the road and barely 50 feet of It's
length. So he could form no idea of the
landscape, or where the spot was sit.
:uated. Now and then, q man, or a
group of men, would walk past, but
the sound Of their footsteps didnot rise
to his ears. Carriages and vehicles of
several kinds went by, but they glided
along as noiseless as bicycles, unless
Gielow put his head against the stone.
There was a rustic seat at the side
of the road, and the artist almost forgot
his inward torture in hoping that some
of the passers-by would sit there to
rest. He had vague idea that if the
people would only stop and look up
he might manage to signal to them.
A young man and girl came into
view. They were walking slowly hand
in hand, and, Us if obeying Gielow's de-
sire telepathically, they sat down on the
rustic seat. The young man put his
arm around his companions waist, their
eyes met, and their faces glowed. =
Gielow placed his lips to the crack
and shouted, but he had grown SO
hoarse that his voice did not pass
through the crevice in the rock. he
tried again and again and at last gave
up in despair.
Then another thought entered his
brain. Feeling over the floor, he final
~ found pebble and tried to throw
it through the assure, but this was also
an impossibility. The opening was too
long and irregular for anything to be
thrown through it, and it sloped down
ward so gradually that the pebble
would not roll.
Then Gielow thought of something
else. He took off one of his white
linen cuffs. He coiled it tightly, and
tied it with thread from the lining of
his cravat. He believed he would be
able to push it through the crack by a
certain continuance he had in mind.
Then he paused to reflect, and finally
decided that he would write some mes
sage on the cuff, some appeal to the
world at large for help. But how to
write it was the first thing to be decided,
for, on going through his pockets, he
could find nothing but his penknife.
He believed he could, if his hand were
strong enough, cut the letters into the
linen, but would they be noticed by
casual observer? Then a thought came
to him, which may have been suggested
by an incident in some romantic novel
he had read in his youth. He would
write it in his own blood.

front page where the sullen rays 81 the
lantern fell upon the head lines.
'That's plain enough to be read from
where you are" he said. There's
your name at the top" ss .
The big black letters seemed to
stamp themselves on the brain Of the
artist. They drew him, as it were, BY
force to sitting posture, then he COW
cred his face with his hands and sank
back ON his pallet of straw. "
Bantinni drew nearer him and swung
his lantern over his face. It was as if
he feared his victim had succumbed to
the ordeal. Seeing his fear unground-
ed, he laughed lightly. -
"You must not die too quickly" he
said; lit would not suit my purpose.
Since you have been here you have aid
ed me vastly, and I may need your as
sistance again." =.
Gielow made no answer. He had
folded his white lips together as if to
keep them in subsection.
"You seem to have little curiosity"
went on the count. "You have good
control over the features, but I can
make you writhe. What if I were to
tell you that since you have been here
you have with your own hand written
to your sweetheart confessing your
crime and saying that Count Bantinni
had followed you for days and nights
trying to get you to give up your awful
scheme, and that you had finally eluded
his vigilance and carried out your plan
unknown to him."
Gielow's very soul seemed to die with
in him. He closed his eyes to shut out
the diabolical visage of his tormentor,
but even through his eyelids he saw
the red glow of the lantern and felt the
presence of the inhuman fiend.
"And more than that" continued the
voice of the Italian. "You have writ
ten letter to the police acknowledging
the crime and expressing your inten-
ton of leaving America for good. They
are trying to catch you, but when they
fail and have forced me to testify
against you'll say forced, for it would
be unseemly in friend to volunteer

girl. You don't think 500" (Gielow
had writhed visibly.) "Well, remem-
Der my power. She would have been
my wife long ago but for the clause in
the will pertaining to Caruthers. Ihave
always believed that great murder
could be committed without the perpe-
traitors ever being detected, and have
carefully worked out the details of this
plan."
The strain was too much for the de-
pleted physical condition of the ILL.,
starred prisoner. Bantinni seemed to
be talking to him from great distance.
Then came the sound of the iron doors
closing, the turning of key in rusty
lock, darkness, silence, soothing uncon-
sciousness.

CHAPTER XVII.

Gielow came back to consciousness
Through maze of dreams. He seemed
to be in the studio laughing at Henri
for draping a curtain awkwardly. Next
he was with Dorothy in the conserva-
tory at her home; she never had
seemed so beautiful Then a swift
.draught of cold air seemed to be strik
ing his feet and ankles. She held some
flowers towards him and he tried to
take them, but could not lift his hand,
or stir muscle. She glided away,
-melting into a vast bank of orchids, but
when he essayed to follow his feet
seemed chained to the floor. He gave
a sudden CRY of terror Us she vanished,
and his voice seemed to rebound from
the walls and ceiling, which appeared

found himself enveloped in such pro-
found darkness that he wondered if
and adrift in space.
"Great God!" he exclaimed. "What
can this mean? Where am II"
He tried to recall his latest conscious
moments, but his brain seemed be-
numbed. Everything was chaos. He
moved his hand, and felt clasp of
cold steel on his wrist. He heard a
chain rattle. Aghast-terriied ineffa-
blythe moved the other hand. It, also,
was chained to the stones beneath him.
He attempted to draw up his feet. They,
TOO, were manacled.
Then he lay motionless and tried
once more to recall past events. Dor
sothy! Yes, he remembered calling on
her and humbly confessing his sor-
row for having publicly quarreled with
Caruthers. She had readily forgiven
him, and shed tears at something she
would not explain. He remembered
telling her that he was not going to
the reception at the Palace hotel the fol-
lowing night. She understood that he
shrank from being seen publicly,
though she begged him to go and dance
once with her. She reminded him that
Caruthers was away, but even that did
I not alter his determination. He left
early. for ahe and her aunt were going
to the Horse Show with Count Ban tihni,
4 and 1t was almost time for her to dress.
Then he remembered how hard he
worked all the next day, and how he
threw himself that night on a lounge
and tried T. sleep. Finding this i'm

CHAPTER XVIII.

When Gielow next awoke it was with
increased pains from hunger and thirst.
His lips and throat were dry and
swollen; his face was hot with fever:
Slowly his last talk with Count Ban
tinni came back to him. ','.
II must die here like dog, and
Dorothy will be his next victim," he
groaned. IF only could save her I
would not care what became of me-"
But. later the realization of his blasted
reputation, the downfall of the name
he had been so proud to bear, struck
him like blow and he threw himself
back on the stone floor and wept.
After awhile dull sound like the far
off beat of horses hoofs and the hollow
rumble of wheels was transmitted to
him through the rock against which his
head rested. BE found when he sat up
that the sound was no longer audible.
sc he judged that there must be a paved
road or street near if not beneath him.
For hours he listened to these sounds,
his serse of hearing becoming so acute
that he could distinguish between the
passing of two horse vehicle and
single one. After awhile everything
became quiet and he judged that it was
night.
Long dragging hours elapsed, then
the sounds awoke to life again and he
knew that another day had broken.
Touching the uneven rocks of one of the
walls he discovered that they were moist,
and crawling to them he licked their
Shiny surfaces with his parched tongue,
but this only seemed to irritate his
thirst without giving relief, so he threw
himself back on the straw and tried to
practice what he had heard mental
scientist say about the efficacy of ig-
noring the belief in hunger or thirst to
escape suffering when deprived of food
or water. But he failed in this, and al
lowed visions of cool sparkling streams
in sunlit meadows to pass before his
eyes mind. lie never thought of Doro-
sumptuous table.
Once when he put his head in new
position, to avoid the piercing of the
sharp-pointed stones, he felt a tiny
stream of fresh air shooting from the
| wall about foot from the floor. Ex-
| aiming the stone in that vicinity, he
found long irregular crack through
which the air entered. Then he began
to beat the stone with his handouts and
noticed, when he struck it near the
crack, that it gave forth the sound of
| broken rather than of solid stone.
Again and again he beat>the rock until
he felt more air coming in at the cleft,
| and then his heart bounded with ex-
psctation, for he had loosened a piece
of the rock about foot long by two
inches in width, and when he had
tugged at it for several moments it fell
| to the floor. II

SENATOR ALLEN, OF NEBRASKA.

1t is Absolutely Necessary that Senator
Stewart Should BE Retained in the
Senate.
The following letter from Senator
Allen, of Nebraska, to Hon. H. II. Beck
IN reference to the work of Senator
Stewart in the cause of bimetallism
speaks for itself:
MADISON, NEBR august s., '9S.
Hon. II. IL. Beck, Reno, Ne0.:

sire to say hat l would re-
gard the retirement of Senator Stewart

and experience in the field of bimetal-
lie discussion makes it absolutely essen
tial that he should be returned. know

experience and advice.

Your clerk and required no action OF
your part.
Nou also allowed your friends and
the press of this state to claim for you
the Authorship of the resolution annex
ing the Sandwich Islands. The reso-
luton for the annexation of the Sand
"tch Islands was carefully prepared by
the committee on foreign relations of
the Senate, and after much deliberation
was reported to that body on the 10Th
day OF March, 1898, and placed upon
the calendar. The war revenue bill oc-
cupied the attention of the Senate and
occasloned a delay i'll passing the an
nexatlon resolution. On the 4th day of
May, 1898, nearly two months after it
was reported to the Senate, you intro
duced in the House the identical reso-
luton without the change of a word,
which was reported by Senator Davis,
chairman of Senate committee on for
e1gn relation, and which was then on
the Senate calendar. 1t was we'll known
at the time that the majority of the
House was with the administration for
the annexation of the islands and the
Senate resolution passed the House ex-
actly as 1t was reported to the Senate.
notwithstanding these facts you allowed
it to be published without contradiction
that you were the author of the resolu.
ton.
Mr.. Newlands, you pose as an anti
railroad man, and to prove hat you are
such you had printed a speech against
the Central Pacific and circulated it in
Nevada. The people, however, under
stand you better han you imagine.
They know that you represent the
Sharon estate, which was largely made
up from the profits of the Virginia and
Truckee railroad. which road was as
largely subsidized by the counties of Sto-
rey and Ormsby and the Comstock Min
ing Companies, averaging it per mile, as
was the Central Pacific. Your fares and
freights or the V. & T. have always
been double those on the Central Pacific
for the same service. Your road has been
obliged to maintain a powerful and cor
rupt lobby in Carson to enable it to do
gross injustice to the people. If you
will assist even at this late dav in reduc-
ing the outrageously high charges on
the V. & T. the people may forgive you
for your attempt to deceive them.
Nevada has important interests to be
represented at Washington, and re-
quires an industrious and faithful Rep
r~eseutative who will not deceive the
people by pretending to serve them
when he does not, or claiming credit
which does not belong to him. If your
course in Congress were known to the
people of Nevada, as shown by the
record, they would certainly choose
somebody else, because they cannot
afford to go on unrepresented.
Yours respectfully,
THOMAS WREN.

Hon. F. G. NEWLANDs, Reno, NeV..:
SIR: Your failure to rocur legisla.
ton in the House in behalf of Nevada
has excited some inquiry. In order that
the people may judge of your useful
ness as a Representative of Nevada l
will state from the record that the only
bill You had passed through the House
during the three terms i'll Congress is a
bill for $500, money due Marshal Moore
for servicesrendered after the expiration
of his term of Office. During your
three terms, and previous to the last
session, you voted on various roll-calls
on the passage of bills, joint resolutions,
etc, I47 times. You were absent during
roll-calls on passage of bills, joint reso-
l%utlons, etc, SIS times. This record is
from August 7, 1898, when you first took
your seat, until July "a, 1897.
Mr.. Newlands, this is a bad record for
a Nevada Representative, and if there
were no other reason, this inattention to
business on your part would account for
your utter failure to accomplish any
thing for the benefit of the state.
You have dealt unfairly with the peo-
pie Of Nevada in other ways. You have
constantly published in the papers, and
l understand you paid for it, an account
of pensions obtained for soldiers. You
did not obtain these pensions. They
were granted by the department, and
any part that you may have taken in it
was mere routine work and consisted in
referring the letters of applicants to the
proper departments and requesting
favorable action, which is the work of

VIM. V. ALLEN.

According to the latest utterances of
Mr.. Newlands in the House of Represent
t~atives on December Is, 1898, it will be
unnecessary for the government to con-
iscate the silver mines now in operation.
1t will only be necessary to pass a law to
prevent the location of any newly dis
covered mines. Mr.. Newlands COM
mitted himself to this policy in his
letter to Gage.

AS Mr.. Newlands solemnly pledged
himself to the silver state convention
that he would support Stewart for Sen.
ator, and as he is now doing all in his
power to defeat him, it does not seem to
make much difference what Mr.. New
lands pretends to be in favor of concern
ing silver coinage or anything else.
