CHAPTER XIV.
CHECKMATE!


The two detectives, after leaving
Sprague and Sturgis in the cellar of the
Manhattan Chemical company, pro-
ceeded to search the premises from
basement to roof. Then, somewhat
discounted, they returned to the Gel
lar, and were surprised to find that
the reporter and his friend had disap-
peared.
After questioning the man whom
they had left on watch on the outside,
and ascertaining that neither~Sprague
nor Sturgis had yet left the house,
the detectives called loudly to the
missing men, and} receiving no reply,
at last became alarmed and sent word
of the mysterious disappearance to
headquarters. The chiefs answer came
at once:
''Remain on watch where you are.
We shall investigate from the other
side"
One of the detectives thereupon went
up to the roof of the building, whence
he could keep watch upon the back
yards, while his companion remained
in the front hall.
They had been waiting thus for some
time, when the latter thought he heard
footsteps in the direction of the private
office. He was on the alert in an in
stant.
The door was cautiously opened and
a man stepped out into the hallway.
He carried a valise and package. He
blinled like a man coming suddenly
from the darkness into the daylight.
"Who are you?" asked the detective,
brusquely.
The man looked in the direction of
the voice, and, as his eyes became ac-
custoned to the light, returned the de-
tective's surprised stare with calm
and searching look.
"Checkmate!" he muttered quietly
to himself at last.
Then, without seeming haste, he
passed back into the private office, be-
fore the astonished detective could
make any attempt to stop him.
Recovering himself quickly, the de-
tective followed the sounds of the re
treating footsteps to the cellar stairs.
Then, fearful of an ambush. he fired his
revolver as signal to his companion
on the roof; and, after striking a
match, he cautiously descended, reach
ing the cellar just in time to see Muir
dock disappear into the underground
passage.
He rushed to the spot; and, unable to
find the door: he pounded with all his

bottles to dance and rattle.
"Come, ,now," he shouted, "the games

You can't possibly escape, for you're
surrounded
No answer came from within.
The man tried his powerful strength
upon the door without any perceptible
effect.
When the second detective arrived
upon the scene he found the first one
removing the bottles from the shelves
by the light Of a match held in his
left hand.

At length final stroke sent the
weakened hinges from their fastenings,
and the men rushed through the un-

A hasty, startled glance told them
that Murdoch was not there.
They started for the stairs and were
met by policeman who was just en-
tering Nurdock's s office.

tives in chorus. l @sS. .4:. /. /. z5<.', ...s.T

The Swedish riksdag convenes in
January, and since 1898 the Norwegian
storthing convenes in the fall. Swe-
den has minister of foreign affairs,
Norway has none. The foreign af-
fairs of Norway, therefore. must be
managed by the Swedish minister of
foreign affairs. Count Douglas, Swed-
ish minister of foreign affairs until a
few months ago, did not present the
budget of expenses until the Swedish
riksdag convened. This was distaste-
full to the Norwegians, who demanded
that the budget be presented to the
storthing at the opening of the ses-
sion, on the ground that all claims
ought to be brought in before that
body makes any appropriations Count
Douglas remained firm in the face of
the Norwegian protests. But he with
drew from the cabinet. and Baron
Lagerheim was appointed Swedish
minister of foreign affairs. And he is
going to have his budget of expenses
ready at the opening of the Norwegian
storthing, which course is very graft
tying to the Norwegians.

In 1897 the riksdag passed law pro-
viding that after the year 1908 the gov
ernment bank shall issue all bank
bills. AS the time for this change ap-

feeling has found expression in an at
tempt on the part of the bankers to
organize themselves into a society for
the discussion of questions relating to
banking and monetary matters.
The new railway ferry Malmo, which
was built at a cost of $3.50, 900, and
which has commenced to carry railway
cars and other heavy goods between
Malmo and Copenhagen, presents such
a large surface to the wind that it
cannot be managed in stormy weather.
When the first storm struck the ferry
it became unmanageablei in the harbor
of Malmo, first running against the
pier and damaging that, and after
wards humping up against an English
steamer. The ferry itself is so strong
ly built that it was not damaged, but
it's capers will cost several thousand

The Finnish dragons distinguished
themselves beyond others at the Rus
sian summer maneuvers, and Com
mander-in-chief Ostrogradski called
them the ''heroes of the day." At the
breakfast table the czar himself pro-
posed a toast to the Finnish troops,
and instructed Governor-General Bob
rikoff to convey the pleasant news to
the Finnish people. In announcing
the news in Finland, the governor
general gratuitously added: "This
token of mercy will doubt
less induce the Finlanders to vie with
each other in the desire to manifest
their boundless devotion to our deified
czar."

substitution of arbitrary measures for

being made to the Russian govern

brook even this, and the article was
kept out of the paper.
