IN that time. I'm inclined to .hinl.
you're net quite so deucsi unselfsh as
you'd try to make yourself appear"
For Heavens sake, lets begin with
no recriminationsr sighed Palgrave,
restlessly turning his cauow face 10
the wall. isg
When Savernake left the room and
there were none but his own eyes to
see, he drew his handkerchief across
his forehead, wiping away moisture,
for the strain under which he had la
bored during the scene had been not
inconsidera0le.
One thing had led to another, and al
ready his course lay napier out left
nitely before him, though when he had
entered Palgrave's hedehamber no
faintest CLEAN of light han shcne upon
it.
He had not waited for Palgrave to
ring and have him shown out, but he
knew the old house, despite the years
that had passed since he had visited it.
Finding a servant he requested to see
Sir James Clancarden, and endeavored
to impress upon the baronet something
of the confidence which he so glibly
professed.
Tell Lady Anne l will bring her
lover back to her, never fear" he said
lightly. Circumstances over which
have no control compel reticence at
present-that is all, assure you"
Sir James shook his head when Saw
ernake had gone. He could see no
foundation to build hope upon, and he
believed that poor Savernake was half
dazed by the sudden force of the blow
he had received. Still, Sir James gave
the message to Anne, and even as the
willy Savernake had xpected-offered
the suggestion for what it was worth,
to others. 1t is thus that out of Cos
sip theories are reared.
AS for him who had set the ball
rolling, he lost no time in seeing the
local police authorities, and further adj
vancing his own interests-or, at least,
making strenuous efforts so to do.
He could not wait to watch the eff
feet, though he would have been thank
full even to hear. the whispers that be-
gan going round before nightfall when
nothing came out of the river: They
say his friends think he isn't drowned
after all"
Nonsense! Well, you can't tell
Things begin to look queer"
He did not hear the whispers, but
his fancy gave them to him, as he
hurried Londonwards He had meant
to go Immediately back to Lurlworth,
carrying the body with him, if it had
been found, but the time when that
obvious and conventional course had
appeared tolerable to him seemed now
had taken a somersault in Savernake's
eyes since then.
He went to town, and to certain Of
fees near the Strand Having made
such inquiries as he thought neces-
sary and conducted a purchase which
though he obtained but a slip of
paper-cost him fifty pounds. he lost
no time in hurrying to Waterloo Sta
ton and taking train for Lurlworth
. Savernake could be a seIf-indulgent
man, and no one had more luxurious
tastes than he. He was fond of his
ease, fond of good wine, and a well
ordered dinner. especially at a certain
London club, of which he had once
been among the most distinguished
members. But when occasion rose,
like an old campaigner of many battle
fields, he could deny himself rest and

Sword of Damocles, by a single hair.
If he could grasp it, it was hts. II II
fell before his hand could reach it, it
was success no longer. but failure, dire
and complete.
All depended upon what came out
of the water There was. perhaps, one
chance in ten, at the best, but of that
one chance ne would make the most
by disappearing before the river was
dragged. Lady Mary would be pros
trated by grief, unable to identify such
sad treasure-trove as might be brought
from tho waters, and he would be
where he Aould not be recalled for the
purpose when he came back-ah,
then the whole face of affairs might
we'll be changed! Delay and uncer-
tainty meant everything to him now.
LET the farce Of dragging the river

tinued, smiling smile which seemed
to say: You know as well as | DO
that it will come to nothing" las
for me, despite your consideration, l
shall be unable to preside over the
ceremony l have another and most
pressing engagement, which, in my
humble opinion, far more nearly con-
Germs the Duke than stirring up
Thames mud in search of something
that, for obvious reasons, can't be
there. So I shall take pains to inform
the police, as we'll as Sir James Clan
Garden and his charming ward. Ia

He bowed himself away with an in
sIfferable smile, and when the door
had closed upon him the two men look
cd at each other.
Il say, governor, do you think the
old rascal means anything particular"
whispered Blandon. "One or two
things he said rather pointed that way,
eh?"
Impossible" returned the elder.
"He can know nothing. He can prove
nothing"
"Something'll have to be found
Notwithstanding unmistakable. He
means mischief, and that's the only
way to block his game. l begin to
think we've been too squeamish. But

Palgrave's lips drew away from his
teeth in species of silent shudder
There's no hurry" he said. Such
things are often days or weeks in be-
ing discovered, and then turn up in
some little backwater miles away from
the place where-anything happened.

be easy enough to manage find in
the way we discussed when-when l

fidence. Nobody could expect to rec

And jolly good thing for you that
you did take me into your confidence
Boosted Blandon. Finely you would
have got on without me-"
'It was for your sake I hesitatad,"
said his father, gloomily. You are
young, and it is hardly fair that your
life should be darkeIed by the keep
ing of such a secret as from last night
you and I must hold in our hearts.
Still, the whole thing is done for you,
when It comes down TO first principles
I'm not so sure of that, governor"
laughed Blandon-for he could laugh

TRIED TO
ROB HIM

WICHITA, KAS., July 13.-A special
to the Beacon from Lorain, Kas., SAYS
Two masked me nmade an attempt last
night to hold up the Kansas Midland
station at Lorraine. They were driven
off, however before they were able to
force an entrance to the depot bIilding.
The attempt ook place at about 10 30
The night train had just left for the
north and Agent E. j. Simpson was pre-
pairing to close the office. He heard a
noise on the depot platform and turn
ed to the window.
He saw two men with their faces COW
cred with red masks, standing in the
glare of the light with revolvers in their
hands elevated at him. Mr.. Simpson
dropped to the floor just in time to &.
escape a bullet which was fired at him
by one of the men and which barely
missed him and crashed in to the wall
on the opposite side Of the office.
The men fired two or three more shots
into the office. Mr.. Simpson id him
self behind the safe and was not in
jured. Supposing that the agent was
to frightened to attempt resistance the
men secured a piece of timber and
started TO batter down the door to the
waiting room.
AS soon as the men left the window
Mr.. Simpson secured his revolver and
went into the waiting room. He did not
make a move until the men tried to
break down the door. He then began
firing at them through the door. There
was an exchange of shots for several
minutes and finally the men fled. 1t is
thought that one of them at least is
wounded.
Mr.. Simpson is unable to give any
description of the desperadoes beyond
that one was about 8 feet inches ir
height and the other slightly taller
Both were roughly dressed and wore
red masks over their faces.
The Frisco offices in this city were
notified of the attack and Mr.. Simpson
has received many commedations from
the officers of the Frisco for his plucky
action last night.

In the irst place we would have a
thoroughly honest man in the White
House. This a fact conceded by
Mr.. Bryan's political foes as we'll as
his political friends. And il is more
than the Republicans can say of every
candidate for president put up by their
party.
We should have president OF un
questionable ability. Mr.. Bryan has
shown himself man of parts. He is
not only brilliant orator, but he has
demons nstrated his possession of the
qualities OF state smanship.
We should have president who is
personally unsel6sh. Mr.. Bryan is
devoted to principles rather than the
Advancement of his individual inter-
ests. He is q broad minded man.
We should have for a president a
man of tact and good humor Mr..
Bryan would enter the White House
without enemies to punish or grudges
to satisfy, He carries no knife" ~
And touching the policies and is.
sues on which this election turns, we
should have president devoted to the
Republic as against the imperial
theory of government; to the protec-
tion Of the interests of the great body
of the people as against monopolistic
cables,
We should have president who
has pledged himself to what we at
the East regard as mistaken theory
of finance, but who would be una BILE
in the four years of his term to put
his theory in practice in any form.
All in all, even from the Republican n
point of view, there have been many
candidates, both Republican and Dem.
ocratic, whose election to the presi-
dency would be properly regarded
with greater apprehension than tha,
of William Jennings Bryan.
