Sitting on the rough wooden bench
for the hundredth time the bewilder-
ing change in affairs. 1t was mid
night and my candle fickered low. My
first fury had worn itself out, but my
heart was still hot within mt. First
the scene in the great hall-Sir Johns
stern face as he ordered me taken in
to custody, saying "The King shall
deal with all traitors"-the young
Lords triumphant sneer as l was led
away-the wonder in the Lady Maud's
eye as l proclaimed mysef-Ah, but
was there ought beside wonder? That
l could not tell and that was the thing
that tried me most. If l could but
know.
And even as / sat there eating my
heart out there came a noise at the
door-the sound of a key at the great
lock. It's Sir John, come to give
me more chance" l said to myself, "or
Lord Clarinford to triumph over me"
So l hardened my heart and sat i'm
movable.
But it was neither. The heavy door
swung open slowly and noiselessly and
a figure that l did not recognize laid
finger to lips. My visitor was heavily
cloaked and the flap of a b~road-brim-
med hat cast the face into dark shad-
ow. A muffled lantern cast a few
feeble rays of light on the floor at his
feet. A gesture babe me remove my
shoes and follow. In a moment more
we were travelling through narrow
ways and up and down d~ust-covered
stairways that I did not know existed
in Avon Castle. Ny guide led the way
with a sureness that betokened init
mate knowledge of our devious course;
as for me. I had no idea of where he
was bound nor, indeed. of why / fol-
lowed.
IT'S strange what tribes occupy the
mind and catch the eye In such mo-
ments when fate hangs heavily in the
balance. For instead o. being alert to
every chance * eseape. ~ mind ~

The St. Louis Republic., 1901-11-22

In an impromptu Interview, Robert Louis
Stevenson once said that the most interest
ing study to him was what may be appro-
priately termed the personnel Of great
city. He had in view the men who grow
from boyhood into prominence by becoming
the active forces in commercial and profes-
sional life. In reading the daily papers the
great novelist never permitted a biograph-
ical sketch or obituary notice TO escape his
attention as he often discovered character
traits in such Items that proved to be of
advantage to him in his literary work.
We are all interested in this form OF hu-
man curiosity. A great many persons are
under the impression that prominent men
are the favorites Of fortune, and are not
really very busy. Personal contact with
these captains of industry would prove the
fallacy Of this theory. A great majority CT
them have forced their way TO the front
through indomitable will power and un-
ceasing energy. They are the hardest work
ers. Both their minds and their physical
forces are In almost constant demand TO
maintain the important positions they have
attained In this progressive age. as they
have TO maintain their own pace. The per-
sonnel of st. Louis offers materially from
that OF any other city in the Mississippi
Valley, partly on account of the fact that
she Ia 50 much older than many of the
other large cities of the West, and partly
on account of her geOgra phiCal position. The
grand total of our population is composed OF
persons from almost every cline. but St.
Louis has larger class Of native citizens
than any other Western center of ponula-
tiOn. because she is 100 years old In fact
there are to be found here men women and
chilCren who represent the second. third
ana fourth generations, all of whom were
born here. and have spent their lives in
st. Louis.

fall from third-story window of No. 919
Locust street to the pavement at o'clock
last night.

came to this city from Philadelphia. where
he has a daughter. Mrs. Marie Bennardine.

Peculiar and that he has seemed despon-
dent. Last week he sent letter to his
daughter, whose address was No. 2232 Mar
ket street in Philadelphia. He received no
reply and appeared to worry over the fact,
thinking that something had befallen his
child.
Last night he was playing cards. but did
not seem interested in the game. Suddenly
he threw down his hand and went out
of the saloon. An instant later Pferi heard
a commotion on the street. and running
out saw Fedele lying on the pavement
Persons in the crowd said that Fedele ap-
peared In one of the upper windows. and
that. after hesitating a moment. he jumped
out. striking the sidewalk upon his side.
