A LIVELY STREET AFFAIR.

after 10 o'clock the many late shoppers
were startled by the reports of n revolver.
accompanied by cries of murder coming
from within a colored pooiroom on the
east side of the street.
Attracted by the noise, a large crowd

fired pointblank at his frightened victim,
who had taken refuge behind one of the
white-coated BARRIERS. The assailant s
aim was poor, however, while the cries
of the frightened customers and BARRIERS
sounded somewhat like the echoes OF
mena gerie.
Policemen WaIdron and Curd, of the
Second precinct, attracted by the sounds
of the shooting, then arrived on the scene.
At the sight of the bluecoats the bellig-
erent negro made wild dash for liberty
through the gathering crowd. closely pur-
sued by the two policemen and ma
jOrity of the citizens. He was fleet of
foot, however, and managed to effect his
escape by dashing into one of the numer-
Gus alleys in that section. The policemen
retraced their steps hurriedly and made
at once for the barber shop, where they
found the frightened negro lying on the
floor in a heap. He WAS soon made TO
stand upon his feet, and with his body
quiyering from fright, was placed in the
patrC} wagon and carried to the Second
precinct, where he gave the name of

Ruffin was locked UP at the Second pre-

Duty and Mr.. NeeId.

When Nina Zabriska brought back
the news from Fairholme and am
nounced il with an intensity OF signifi-
canoe which the sudden aggravation of
an illness long known to be mortal
hardly accounted for, Major Duplay
grew very solemn. The moment for ac-
ton approached, and the nearer it
came the less was the major satisfied
with his position and resources: the
scene by the pool had taught him that
he would have a stiff fight. He had
been hard hit by Harry's shrewd sug-
gestlon that he must ask Iver himself
Tor the means of proving what he
meant 70 tell Iver. The only alterna-

fortably we'll off, was not rich. Nor
was she any longer Jealous in the cause,
me Imp was sulky and sullen with
him, sorry she had ever touched the
affair at all, ready, he suspected, to
grasp at any excuse for letting it
drop. This temper of hers foreboded
a refusal TO open her purse. 1t was
serious in another way OF himself
Ouplay knew nothing: Nina Was his
only witness; her evidence, though
