mind as to her possession of all the

The reporters keen ear detected in
his friends tones a touch of genuine
sadness of which the artist himself was
probably unconscious. Laying his
hand gently upon Sprague's shoulder,
he said, gravely:
"I hope SO, too, old man; for you are
one of those foolish men whose lives

pressed it cordially.

fectionately, 'be as sensible as you

And before Sprague could frame an

CHAPTER VII.
AGNES MURDOCH.

In a quarter of the city which is
rapidly surrendering to the relentless
encroachments of trade. there still
stand few old-fashioned houses, the
sole survivors of what was once an
aristocratic settlement.
One by one their fellows have been
Slapped and swept away by the resist
less tide of commerce, until these an
cient dwellings, stubbornly contest
ing a position already lost, now rear
their sepulchral brownstone fronts in
stiff and solitary grandeur-huge sar-
cophagi in q busy mart.
One of these houses stands well
back from the street line, the tradi-
tional backyard of the ordinary New
York dwelling having been sacri-
feed, in this instance, to make room
for tiny garden, which is separated
from the street by a tai spiked iron
railing, behind which grows an ar
Dor vitae hedge. The former serves
as defense against the marauding
of the irrepressible metropolitan
gamin; while the latter confers upon
the occupants of the garden a SEM
blance of protection from the Gu
rious gaze of the passers-by.
This property, having been the sub
ject of an interminable lawsuit, had
remained for many years unoccupied,
and was even now beginning to be re-
garded by some of the, neighbors as
haunted, when at last it was bought
by Dr.. Murdoch, a wealthy widower
with an only daughter. For some
months masons and carpenters were
at work; and then. one day, the new
occupants entered into possession.

DESPERATE CONVICTS
Three Inmates of Kansas Prison
Make Bold Break for Liberty.
One Shot Dead by the Deputy Warden. Nus

my PISTOL aud Compelled Gusrds
to Submit.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 1S.-A des--
perate- train robber and murderer.
Samuel Smith, convict in the state
penitentiary, was killed here while
attempting to escape from the pris--
on in company with two brother con-
victs and hardened criminals. E. E.
Estelle, murderer, under sentence
to hang, and Ben Cravens, under 90
years sentence for highway robbery
are the other two convicts. Smith
was killed by a bullet fired by Deputy
Warden Thompson who, with the.
guards, chased the escaping prison
ers. One guard, Valentine Swartz.
was shot three times, though not
fatally, by the convicts
The escape of the convicts was the
most daring and bold ever put into
execution in the prison. All three
convicts work in the prison coal mine
700 feet under the ground. They had
cunningly. devised two dummy revolv-
ers of wood, painted black, with iron
bolts for barrels. T,.ey attacked an
officer at the bottom of the shaft, or
dering him to surrender at the point
of the dummy pistol. His hands were
tied with wire and they then sig
nailed to be taken to the top of the
mine.
Arriving at the top they drew their
dummy revolvers on the guard there,
and on his surrendering, tied his
hands. They marched the guards in
front of them to the outer gate of
the prison wall which opens from a
tower, and, with guards as protectors.
they approached the outpost guard.
One of the convicts knocked him
down. The prisoners secured the
guards Winchester rifle, revolver and
cartridge belt. Possessed of arms and
ammunition the prisoners turned their
guards loose and started to run. 9th
er outpost guards gave the alarm arr.
started for the escaping convicts, and
battle royal ensued. Although so
shots were exchanged by the guards
and the prisoners during the fight.
Deputy Warden Thompson ran up and
opened fire with his revolver. Convict
Smith fell with bullet through his
brain from the deputy warden's re-
volver. AS soon as Smith was shot
the other two convicts ran, leaving
him lie. They took refuge in a corn
field, but were driven out of this and
were surrounded in strip of timber
between the Missouri river and the
penitentiary.
To Starve The m In Surrender.
Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 19.-The
convicts Cravens and Estell were not
burned Saturday in the Moore barn
as had been thought, but they eluded
the guards and reached shelter about
one mile from Brighton, where they
are now surrounded. It is probable
that an effort will be made to starve
the men into surrender

uriously, like people accustomed to
wealth. They had their horses and
carriages, their house at Lenox and at
Newport, and their yacht. Their cir
Gle of acquaintance was large, and
included not only the fashionable set,
but also scientific, literary and art
istic set. For DIR. Murdoch was a
chemist of national reputation, a
| member of several scientific bodies.
and a man of great intelligence and
broad culture.
ing DIR. Murdoch was seated in his
study, apparently absorbed in read
ing the daily papers, pile of which
lay upon his table. His occupation
might perhaps more accurately be de-
scribed as skimming the daily papers;
for each journal in turn was subject
ed to a rapid scrutiny, and only few
columns seemed occasionally to inter-
est the reader.
There was no haste visible in the
doctors actions, each one OF which
appeared to be performed with the
GOODNESS and elaboration of a man
who is not the slave of time; and yet,
so systematic were they, that, all lost
motion being avoided, every operation
was rapidly completed.
In short time the pile of newspa-
pers had been disposed of. and the
doctor, lighting choice cigar. leaned
back in his comfortable armchair and
placedly pulled the wreaths of fra
grant smoke ceilingward. He was ap-
parently satisfied with the world and
with himself, this calm, passionless
man. Andsyet a sharp observer would
furrow between the eyes, which might
perhaps have indicated only the
healthy mental activity of an or
binary man: but which, in one given
so little to outward manifestation of
feeling as DIR. Murdock. might also
betoken more or less serious annoy
ance or displeasure. =.
While the chemist sat in this pen
sive attitude, there was a rustic of
skirts outside, and presently there
came a gentle knock at the door of
the study.
"Come in" said Murdoch, removing
the<cigar from his lips.
The door opened, admitting a tall
and beautiful young girl, evidently
not long out of her teens.
did I disturb you, father?'' she
asked, stepping lightly into the
room.
NO, Agnes" replied Murdoch,
courteously; las you see, am indulg
ing in a period >of dolce far niente."
The young girl laughed a clear, sill
very laugh, as her eyes fell upon the
pile of newspapers.
eff the reading of dozen news
papers is dolce far niente, 1 should
think you would welcome hard work
as pleasant change"
"Oh!" replied her father, 1.-The
work have done on those has not
amounted to much. I have only
been cleaning the news from the
morning papers.
EYES," he added, answering her sur
prised look, sit takes deal of skim
milk to yield little cream"
The last paper which Murdoch had
been examining lay upon the desk be-
fore him. From the closely printed
columns stood out in bold relief the
glazing headlines:

he turned and walked slowly into the
studio. Here, in the middle of the
room, stood an easel, upon which was
the portrait of u beautiful young

 CITY HALL IMPROVEMENTS. s. Work is progressing nicely on the in te1iOr Of the city hall. The vault in the new council chambers is about finished and the old one in what is to be the marshalls office, is torn down.

In fact, it Is said to excel anything in Los Angeles. The entire $ ecCnd floor is devoted to lshe business, there being t1n rooms in all, six of which are dining rooms, and tables are always in readiness for ninety, or any less number of guests. The rooms may be opened into large dining parlors or closed separately for smaller parties. The floors are handsomcly carpeted, the tables glisten with new silver and the linzn is the finest. So fully equip ped, in fact is he, that he has separate silver chafng dishes for each table, in case they are wanted, and there is everything available from necessities to luXuries. There is a kitchen, range, etc, in the rear rooms and all details are complete. T'hirty-siX persons are employed, fac, that in itself gives an idea of his business. The new dining room is certainly a credit to thC city. as well as to the management.
