maynot have done so" replied Sturgis
''for my Investigations show that both
Arbogast and Chatham have been men
of regular and exemplary habits in
their private lives. They do not APP
pear to have been living much, if at
all, beyond their means. There does
not seem to have been, in the case OF
either man, any room for a double eX-
istence, which might otherwise have
explained the situation. Neither was
a spendthrift or gambler, and neith-
er was dissipated."
Then you have not the faintest idea
of the present whereabouts of Chatham
or of his mysterious accomplice?"
LET me tell you exactly what | have
done up to the present time; and then
you will be able to judge for yourself.
And |, too. shall see more clearly where
we stand: for the necessity of putting
ones thoughts into words is an aid to
clear thinking"

There is a magic in the refreshing
sleep of youth calculated TO exercise
the megrims. When Sprague, arising
after a good nights rest, found the
world batEed in the sunshine of a
crisp January day he felt the physical
pleasure of living which comes from
supple muscles, from the coursine Of a
generous blood through the veins.
from the cravings of healthy appc-
titc.
lie remembered the "blue devils" Of
the day before, and found il difficult to
account for them. He was in love. Ger
tanly. But that In itself did not fur
nish a sufficient reason for Gcspondcn-
~. 1t was rumored that the object Of
his affections was on the eve Of be-
irothal to another. But what G.cpcnd-
once can be placed upon public ru-
nor? As a matter Of fact Miss Muir
dock wore no rings; in the absence Of
the badge of the betrothcd woman
was he not justified in beli,,i ing her
fancy free?
In that case there was fair ftld

Miss Murdoch, was not to pose again,
but Sprague was eager TO work on the
portrait. He was about to step into
the studio after breakfast, when the
housekeeper announced call from his
lawyer, who wished to consult him
about some important matters. The
entire morning vas thus consumed in
necessary but tedious business, and 1t

lie stopped to pick il up. 1t was a let
ter in a beautifully regular masculine
hand. Mechanically he turned il over
and unfolded IT, His eyes carelessly
swept the written page; then in flash
he realized what it was, and he flung it
violently from him.
Only a few words had left their inn
press upon his retina-a few scattered
words and a signature. But these were
branded deep upon his brain for all
time, in letters of fire which burned
their way 10 his very soul. For he had
recognized the letter which had been
delivered by the messenger TO Miss
Murdoch the DAY before, and he had
seen enough to know that it was
couched in words of passionate love. In
that instant was quenched the last ray
of hope which had lurked within his
heart. Overwhelmed with sense Of
utter desolation, he sank back upon a
Gtvan, and for long time remained
lost in bitter reflections.
But Spraguc, in spite of his diet
tanteism, was man of grit when oc-
casion called for H. Summoning at
ength his fortitude and his pride, he
rroceeded TO carry out what he con-
ociyed TO be the duty OF gentleman un-
Ter the circumstances.
Picking up the letter again, he placed
It unread in an envelope, into which
be slipped hi. card, with brief cN-
PLANTATION of the finding Of the paper.
Then. after addressing the envelope, he
started out to mail ii himself

STRUCK A BROKEN RAIL.
Three Cars Tumble from a Bridge
Into Twenty Feet of Water =
Nobody Seriously Hurt.

Sandusky, O., Aug. 17.-Lake Shore
train No. 3, westbound, was wrecked at
Bay bridge, near Sandusky, at l o'clock
this morning. The train left Cleveland
at 1886 p. III. and struck broken rail
near Bay bridge, five miles west Of San
dusky. The engine and two mail cars
passed over the bridge safely. The next
three ears, consisting of two mail and a
combination car, went over the bridge
into Sandusky bay, in twenty feet of
water. The rest of the train left the
track, but did not go over the bridge, and
beyond a severe shaking UP and a bad
scare no one was injured in these cars.
The conductors report says everyone is
accounted for. None of those injured will
die. Not a person is thought to have
been seriously injured.
The broken rail was on the westbound
track near the east end of the bay bridge
The bridge was uninjured and traffic
was delayed but slightly.

of Rustenburg. Eighty prisoners who es-
capped from him report that his strength

LONDON is COLD.
Not a Cheer Over Rescue of People
from Chinese Cut-Throats.

London, Aug. 1S.-Perhaps if London
had not been stated with sensations of
one kind or another for months, the news
of the relief of the Pekin legations might
have aroused some popular excitement
But, though the event has been very anX-
iously awaited, the news from Pekin was
received quietly. London, which went
raving mad over the rescue of Baden
Powell's few hundred colonial troops
from the Beers, has not flag or cheer
for the women and children at Pekin
saved from Chinese cut-throats.
Anxious About British Prestige.
The middle made over the landing of
Indian troops at Shanghai has continued
to the end and caused great deal of
indignation in mercantile and financial
circles, where it was feared that the
vacillation of the imperial government
might do serious mischief to British in
terests and prestige in China. After
the refusal of Niceroy Liu at the instiga-
ton of the French and Russian consills
to countenance the landing of troops the
transports at Woo-Sung from Hong
Kong were kept waiting for a couple of
days while the British foreign Office con-
sidered the matter further. On Thurs
day morning the admiral was ordered to
take the troops TO Wei-Hai-We. He
accordingly steamed away from the
Yangtse amid the protests of the British
and other foreign residents. But no
sooner had the ships gone than a mes
sage was received ordering them back
and torpedo-boat was dispatched in
pursuit of the squadron. Accordingly
the transports returned to the Yangtse
and it is now said are to land their
troops, Or portion of them, today. The
effect on the Chinese cannot be good, nor
has England gained anything by the
whole proceeding

TRAIN HELD Up
BY GRASSHUPPERS.
Mich, Have Suffered Greatly
from the Pests,

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. 18.-Yesterday
afternoon, between Cressey and Delton.
Chicago, Kalamazoo & Saginaw train
was stopped by an army of grasshoppers.
which extended for several rods and COM
pletely covered the track for several
inches. The crushed bodies Of the hop
pers acted like oil on the rails, the drive
wheels of the engine refusing to work un-
til the insects had been shoveled away by
the train crew.
For the last week Kalamazoo and vi
entity has suffered from pest of grass
hoppers, which is said to be the worst
ever known here. Houses and stores
have swarmed with the insects and there
seems to be no way to get rid of them.
In one restaurant today the serving Of
meals was discontinued until large
swarm of hoppers could be driven out.
On account of the plague the city has
not burned its electric lights for several
nights and ali stores have closed at 6
o'clock.
The insects filed up the arc lamp
globes and put the lights out. Some Of
the hoppers are three inches long and
they sing like locusts. In the celery fields
their music is deafening.

lister Conger. In anticipation Of the lib
GRAFTON Of the ministers and the en-
barkation of the United States on inn
portant international negotiations, there
has naturally been careful deliberation
of the course the administration should
pursue, and during the last two days the
ca binet has been giving special attention
to this phase of the Chinese situation.
Without Government.
Since August the Chinese capital has
been practically without government.
The United States will not withdraw it's
troops nor cease its vigilance until all is
in order.
Details Of the battle are anxiously
awaited and it is feared the Americans
suffered heavy losses. From the meager
news at hand it is learned the losses of
the Chinese were three times as great as
those of the japanese.
Great praise for the japanese is heard
on every hand as they have conducted
themselves with the greatest gallantry
during the entire crisis.
Conger and Chaffee Meet.
The meeting between Minister Conger
and Gen. Chaffee must have been a joy
Gus but pathetic one. Mr.. Conger has
been courageous under his great trial,
and his won the admiration OF the world
by his persistency in demanding his
rights and refusing to leave his post un-
der such trying circumstances and when
efforts Were being made daily to force
him to do so.
The action of the imperial government
in opposing the progress of the interna-
tional forces WILL of course, pile up the
demands for reparation and the course to
be pursued in the future.
In addition to the demands for indem-
nifty this government will in all probabil-
ity insist that the Emperor administer
the government and that the Empress
Dowager step aside and cease her inter
ference. Punishment Of those responsible
for the outbreaks will be demanded, and
the United States will insist upon the
restoration of the progressive members of
the cabinet who have not been murdered.

ITALIAN ANARCHISTS
REACH NEW YORK.
Sensational Rumors About an AL
legged Plot to Assassinate
the President.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1S.-A sem
sational story about the arrival of two
Anarchists in this country for the pur
pose of assassinating President McAin-
ley was in circulation yesterday after
noon. 1t was to the effect that Natalie
Moresca and Michael Guida, Italian An
archists, who were members Of Euro
peon secret society, had arrived at New
York on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. 1t is
true they arrived but investigation by
Chief Wilkie failed to show they were
Anarchists or had any designs upon the
President.
1t developed that Moresca is an ex-
convict. He is held by the immigration
authorities and will be sent back to TIA
ly, as convicts are not allowed to enter
this country. Guida is being held, pend
ing al investigation of his character.
