THE CHAMPION MYSTERY.

please tell Mr.. CraHpton that /
must see him--I have something Of the
utmost Importance to tell him.
very well, SIR
The maid left Fred Palmer, a hustl-
ing youth, with an haDitualry senBa-
bional air, standing by the nat rack,
and ran upstairs as fast as she could.
The parlor seemed deserted, for there
was no FIRE in it, though it was mid
winter. Altogether. the house had a
disagrseable feeling of sadness about
1t. No wonder, considering that the
only son OF tho family had been miss
Ing for over week, and nothing but q
crumpled and battered hat found in q
passenger coach on the railroad to give
hint Of his fate.
Presently the maid came running
down the stairs with, please come up
to Mr.. Champions room, sir" Which
message she delivered breathlessly be-
fore she could touch the last step OF
the flight.
The young man found q picture of
bereavement in Mr.. Crampton's room.
A week before that Leonard CraMp-
ton would have been set down by any
chance acquaintance as o robust, pros-
porous man OF forty-flve. This even

mel dressing gown. and seated in an

-Ss tAe CarpehterB, though KReY -
mitted all these evidences. denied tina,
force OF Palmer's theory that murder
had been eomRAlttsd thsrOabouts ON .tRs
Thursday night Of the previous week.
II must be said that the CArDen-
ters were in . RalAoFIty. Fred Palmer,
ia whose ability to ferret out a mye-
terry most OF his fellow-tOwnsa0n Aae
great Oerhdenee, had discovered HnesR
evidence In the shape OF q rag with
blood on It In the ditch. Apart from
all this strong oircusastantiai evidence,
Fred Palmer was the assistant editor
Of local morning paper, ana; 90 least
once before had successfully trAssA the
guilt in another lesser criEnAs to the
guilty party.
In the previous ease, Q small! gaAbl-
Ing swindlS, the opposition paper and
most OF the Inhabitants had rialouled
Palmer's pretORsiens to being able to
solve the problem; this time, at least,
the citizens were very wary Of pre-
mature rid1cule. --.
The upshOt Of all this Was that. while
Mr.. Champion consulted lawyers to
And means OF compelling the Car
penters to allow their ell we'll to be e1-
Cavatod. LEGAL public opinion in the
space OF forty eight hours pretty gen.
orally came round to Planners views;
that young Bob Champion had been
murdered for his watch ana the con-
siderable sum OF money he was knewn
to have had in his pocket; that the
murderer was tramp who had dis
appeared rrom the nslghbOFhood on
the night Of BoB's dAsappsAYaAOo, and
that Bob's body had haen thrown 1Rt0
the abandoned well. .-.....
III you will only bring that villain
to justice" Mr.. Champion said to Fred
Palmer at u second interview, you
may command any service am able
to do you from now on ....t.- 49,.
That was just what Palmer wanted
to hear from Bob's father, chiefly be-
cause Bob's father was also the father
Of Clara. There was more than mere
reportorial ambition in this activity
Of Fred Palmer. .-.-.. .-....
Palmer knew that NiDpeT Gary was
supposed by the Chicago police 20 have
made his way to Oregon or Washington
state He did not hesitate to follow
the desperate villain whose description
answered SO completely to that OF the
tramp with whom Bob Champion had
been seen.
He had $500 Of his own within easy
reach. He resolved to send that sum
in his struggle for justice and Clara. 30
he went and spoke about the matter
to his editor and chief.
"And you want to 90 all the way to
Seattle to hunt this desperado? the
Sditor-in-chief asked, incrOduloUSly.

GO ahead" said the chief.
And ahead Palmer went. But he did
not leave town without one brief in
tervisw with Clara, in which he got
that young lady-she was very young,
besides being heart-broken about her

NEW YORK. Oct. 2i.-Governor
Roosevelt spent to-day at his home nt
Oyster Bay. quietly resting from his La
bors after hls trip through the west.
He received no visitor. at all except
private secretary William ]. Youngr,
who had conference with his chief In
the afternoon. The governor did not
golto church and Mr.. Youngs explained
the refusal to see any one on tho
ground that every moment that could
be stolen from the campaign must now
be taken advantage Of In order to sayo
the candidate's strength. Mr.. Youngn
said he was surprised at the fine condi-
tion Of the governor. He was suffering
from his throat somewhat, but not to o
great extent. as was feared. The strain
on the vocal chords had strengthened
them, after making them sore, and the
governors voice was now in far better
condition than after less work during
the last state campaign. &
d Governor Roosevelt leaves Oyster
Bay tomorrow morning. He will go di- Z
rectly to New York and then will COM
mence his last tour OF the campaign.

procession demonstrated the fact that

When Mr.. White entered at o'clock
the applause was tremendous, and nil
during his speech. which was one Of the
best heard here during the campaign
he was cheered to the echo, The crowd
came to stay, and Notwithstanding the
hour OF adjournment was late all were
still there. and were as enthusiastic as
ever. Mr.. White Is forclble speaker,
even to the most prejudlced. He spoke
for an hour and 4 hail. and then Hon.
