SOMETHING ABOUT THE STORY

The story opens at lockwood Hall,
where Wilfred Erleston, brother of the
Squire, is lying seriously i'll as the
result of an accident. The doctor rec
ommends Mrs. Savile, young and
pretty widow, and during the conva-
lescence of the patient she acts as his
secretary, and a mutual sympathy
springs up between them. There ap-
pears, however, to be something on the
sick mans mind, and he frequently
gives way to expressions of discon-
tent at his illness.
When the convalescent stage has far
advanced another woman appears on
the scene. Her name is Aurelia Dex-
ter, who is supposed to be an Ameri-
can, and entertains parties with her
limitations of the mockingbird. She
visits lockwood, and is astounded to
find Wilfred there. She eonceals her
establishment, but it is obvious that
she knows something of his past. 1t
is soon understood that she intends to
play dangerous game in the house.
We can assure our readers that the
story which opens so mysteriously will
maintain its interest to the close. In
Vulnerable complications arise, and the
love which springs up between the
patient and nurse is severely put to
the test in unexpected ways.

Hall and LaFoIlette Combined
Against Scherr-fhe Keyser Mans
Strengths.
Special to the Register
CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 3d.
The contest for the Republican nomi-
nation for State Auditor just now seems
to have a monopoly of the interest
among Republican politicians. Ar
mold G. Scheer, of Keyser, has just
concluded his fourth visit to this part
of the State, anu he declares that his
prospects are growing brighter every
day, while on the other hand -he
friends of l.. NJ. Lafollette and ]. T..
Hall say that they already have Scheer
beaten. They say he is a bankrupt
that he has no money, and a candidate
for office in the Republican party with
out money does not get any consider
alton. Hall and LoFollette, recognize
ing Scheer's strength and believing
that he is the man they will have to
beat, have formed combination
against him, but the exact terms Of
the agreement cannot be learned. The
Scheer men do not seem to be alarm
ed by the fact that Hall and LaFollette
have combined. They say it will be
futile, for the reason that Hall will
be unable to throw any votes to La
Toilette in the final round up, and La
Toilette would be just as impotent
to control any of his supporters for
Hall. From present appearances it
will finally be a clear cut fight among
the three candidates named.
Mr.. Hall has made decker with
Peter Silman. the Kanawha county can
didate for State Treasurer. Mr.. Sill
man has agreed to deliver to Hall the
solid vote of Kanawha county in con-
sideration of $1,000 to be paid to him
out of the proceeds of the Auditors
office, land other considerations"
1t is asserted that LaFollette cannot
get the support of the delegation from
his own county of Taylor, except to
the extent of complimentary vote.
1t is confidently asserted by the Scheer
men that Taylors vote will go to
Scheer after the first ballot, and that
the Keyser man will have the Second
district solid for him.

Chinatown Roped in and Guarded by

Case of Plague.

Chinatown ROped in and Guarded uy
Policemen - Another Suspected
Case of Plague.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.--Dr. Kel-
logg, who has been investigating the
corpse of Chinaman found in Chi
nese undertaking establishment, ex-
pressed an opinion late last night that
the Chinaman had died of the plague.
Il am satisfied it is plague" he said,
land / am confident that animal inocu-
lation and the autopsy will confirm it.
One not conversant with the situation
in Chinatown cannot appreciate the diff
fculties that confront the inspectors,
but they may be imagined from the
fact that we have only discovered the
cases after the victim is dead
4he quarantine of Chinatown is be-
ing vigorously enforced, 159 policemen
being detailed to maintain Gordon
around the district. Ropes are stretch
ed across the streets and the Chinese
are closely hemmed in, even the secret
exits through some blocks being closed
against them. The Asiatics took the
quarantine stoically. They had warn
ing of what was coming and many left
the district before the arrival Of the
police. The proportion of those who
fled was small, however, and there are
thousands behind the lines.
All whites in Chinatown were allow
ed to pass out, but people outside the
lines are not let inside.
The policemen have stopped freight
of all kinds from coming out, but have
let the Chinese understand that sup
pies for themselves might pass in. The
Chinese watch for newspapers with
eagernesS.
The Sacramento and Clay street cable
cars are permitted to pass through the
Quarantined district only on con-
dition that the passengers go inside the
cars before entering the lines and no
person is allowed to get on or off the
cars in Chinatown. Another condition
is observed by the railway men in
fumigating the cars at both ends of the
line. NUl4a
Health Officer O'Brien states that a
careful house to house inspection will
be begun in Chinatown to-day and
that the inspectors will, after receiving
the sanction of the board of health,
force their way into the house if nee
eSsary.
