her mother.
Wake! wakev' she whispered, kissing
the white forehead and trying to rouse
the heavy sleeper.
Miriam, Miriam, my childv' moaned
the poor woman.
Here, mother, put on your water
proof; we must leave at once"
Mrs. Hope obeyed, and turned to take
her satchel-the satchel containing all
their money, from the bed. Miriam had
already secured her own.
''Miramr'
"Yes, mother"
my satchel; where is it %
They searched on the bed, under the
bed-here, there and everywhere about
the wretched room-but, of course the
satchel was not found.
While engaged in this task, the door
opened and the yellow-faced woman came
in and said:
"Good morning, ladies-or, rather, good
afternoon. You were called at six; but
1t seems you changed your minds and pre-
ferred to sleep. Won't you both have a
bit of breakfast before you leave?"
II brought a satchel into this room
with me, and cannot find it." said Mrs.
Hope, again turning over the bedclothes.
IF you brought anything into this
room with you it's here now. We amt
in the habit of going into guests rooms;
but it's an old dodge for them as amt
got nothin' to come to decent hotels and
pretend that they've been robbed, SOS to
blackmail honest people,"
Il did not say you stole it, said Mrs.
Hope.
"And I say that if you lost it here. it'd
be here now persisted the woman.
The woman threw the door wide open
and pointed for them to leave. When they
reached the street the sun was shining.
and the bells and whistles were calling
the workers together at one o'clock.
All thought of going west must he
abandoned; they had not with them
money enough to get the food of which
they stood so much in need.
In their aimless walk they passed

had suddenly found herself on strange
planet.
Not knowing where to go, but feeling
that it would not do to remain there, Mrs.
Hope took Miriam's hand and moved on
through the storm. After walking for
many blocks they were about to turn
back again, when they saw big lamp
before an ordinary brick building, and
on the lamp, in very red letters, were the
words Bonanza Hotel. Meals and
lodgings"
They were given a room, the furniture
of which was ragged-it had been very
gaudy in it's time. The carpet showed
the direction of the boards in the floor
very distinctly. The plaster was cracked.
They took off their waterproofs, and
lay down on the bed, leaving the lamp
burning. They wanted to wait, not to
rest
They went to sleep, but it was such
troubled, half-waking sleep that had they
been called at any moment they would
have assured one another that they had
not dozed while lying down. Yet asleep
they must have been, or they would have
heard the red-bearded man who had re-
ceived them in the hotel Office below at
their door. He was accompanied by
yellow. frowsy looking woman enveioped
in a greasy calico wrapper.
''You keep the wire hot, Bet, and In
fumigate 'em," said the man, handing
his companion small iron rod and the
lamp.
He drew a Chinese opium pipe from his
pocket, and putting pellet of the stupe-
flying drug into the little brass bowl, he
crept up to the door in which Miriam and
her mother were sleeping.
He could hear low groans and quick,
husky coughing blending with the sterter-
Gus breathing that told the smoke had
had the desired effect on his victims.
The man slid panel apart, SO making
an opening through which he crawled,
like gorged snake. He came out as he
had entered, and closed the panel.
''They are dead asleep, Bet, do not
wake them" he said.

pressing down her eyelids. She sat up
and looked about her. Through the rents
In the black window blinds she could
see it was broad day. She drew her
watch from her breast and saw it was
twelve o'clock. She recognized the odor
of the drug in the sitting air of the
apartment.
She sprang out of bed and threw open

situation, but was unable to explain it

associated with nearly every cranky

which a President can have is common

of farmer in Nebraska who bought
1000 sheep in Cleyeland's time at SOD

prosperous days of Mckinley and pro
lection at 81 So head, the total amount
received being $500, and the profit
$4,000. This may or may not have been
this farmers "share" of Mckinley

of reckoning, but it is a profit well
worth making and is about So, 700 more
than the farmer would have received
for his sheep if Bryan had been elected
four years ago and the Cleveland policy
Of free wool continued. The sum Of
So, 100 is a long way better than moth
ing, and to that Nebraska farmer the
election Of Mckinley was just as much
better than the election Of Bryan as
$500 is better than nothing. That
ought, as it doubtless will be, enough
to secure his vote for Mckinley, with
out any fine figuring rs to whether he
had his full share Of prosperity or not
One thing is sure, and that is that be

than he would ever get under free

ESCAPED FROM ASYLUM.
Former Husband Of Amelle Rives
Wandering About the Country.

Former Husband Of AmeIle RiVes
Wandering About the Country.
New York, Dec 5.-John Armstrong
Chanler, former husband of A-selie
Rives, who has been confined in
Bloomingdale asylum at White Plains,
has escaped and is supposed TO be wan
dering about the counry in Westches-
ter county.
Mr.. Chanler has been confined in
the Bloomingdale asylum since Febru.
airy, 1897 He had the free run of the
grounds and could come and go at will,
as he was looked upon as a harmless
patient.
Dr. Lyon, the superintendent of the
institution, said that a careful search
was being made for the missing man
and that he had no doubt but that he
would be found within "a hours. He
was last seen walking toward Mamo-
roneck.
Chanler was well known in this
country and Europe as the first hus-
band of he Princess Troubetzkoy, for
merly Miss Amelie Rives, the author
ess. Overcome by anxiety, harrassed
by business annoyance, to which he
was unaccustomed, and disappointed
by the cause of his wifes second mar
riage, Mr. Chanler's health broke
down. His mind became so enfeebled
that his friends decided to place him
in the asylum where he could have alb.
solute quiet. For more than a year
previous to the time he entered the
asylum Mr.. Chanler had been eccen-
tric. His chief delusion seemed to be
that he was sort of DR.. Jekyl and
MI. Hyde.
