The exhibition in physical culture work
given by Miss M. <. Sumner and her pu-
pills at Grange hall Wednesday evening
was attended by large and apprecative
audience Miss Sumner was assisted by
Miss Emma Buch of New York, a con
tralto singer, and Miss Cox's mandolin
club. The work of those who participated

appreciated and received its full measure
of recognition.

all, and in spite of hard cold her work
was excellent. She possesses rich, deep
contralto voice with a wide compass, and

ticaly received. She was repeatedly en-
cored.
Miss Sumner prefaced the work of the
evening by practical talk on the
Necessity of Physical Culture" She
showed wherein the people of today
do noti live longer and why they have
so much sickness. She particularly en-
phasized the harm which is done by the
wearing of tight cOrsets. But the women
of today are beginning to understand that

somer in every way that they must indulge
in gymnastic exercises, must get out of
door more, and must be careful about their
diet
The various drills by the young ladies it,
Illustrated the methods by which the differ
ent muscles of the body are brought into
play. Although no weights have been
used by the girls in their drills, accord
ing to their own statements, they have

tors, as to stand absolutely alone. His
methods are his own, and disdaining
all the fragrant and apparent subter-
fuges usually resorted to by unskilled
performers, he apparently has but to
command the most unheard of things
to happen, and his word is obeyed.
Everything he does, is presented upon
a fully lighted stage and he never uses
screens or traps, or coverings, to hide
any part of his work. Long years of
practice have made him the greatest
living adept in pure sleight of hand,
and in this portion of his entertain
ment, he will offer some startling
novelties. He is announced to appear
in Brattleboro at the Auditorium, Fri

Here is ano ther bullet " ound, !" said
Sturgis, turning over the body slightly,
and pointing out second round hole
in the back Of the dead man. III
He seemed to take great interest in
this discovery. He whipped out a
steel tape and rapidly but carefully
took a number of measurements, as if
to locate the positions of the two
wounds. Then he stepped into the cab;
and, striking match after match, he
spent several minutes apparently in
eager search for something which he
could not find. -: ="
''That is strange" he muttered to
himself, as he came out at last.
What is it?" inquired Thurston,
who alone caught the words.
But the reporter either did not hear
or did not care to answer. He at once
renewed his search on the brilliantly
lighted pavement in the immediate Vi
cinity of the cab; examining every
stone, investigating every joint and
every rut, prodding with his cane every
lump of frozen mud, turning every
stray scrap of paper.
"Well, DOCTOR" he said, when at
length he rejoined his companion, ''it
you have done all that you can we may
as we'll go. 1t is one of the prettiest
problems I have met; but there is
| nothing more for me to learn here for
the present. By the way, as was say
ing when interrupted myself little
! while ago, are you sure the cabman is
drunk? wish you would take another
good look at him. The question may be
more important than It seemed at
: first"
A few minutes later the physician
and the reporter were hurrying along
to make I'D for the time they had lost;

W. " AS be spoke he point led to a. red streak
which, starting from the left side of
the dead mans coat, extended down
ward and marked the course of the tiny
stream in which the life blood had
flowed to little pool on the floor of the
cab. :.
"Shot!" exclaimed the policeman,
who turned Immediately to one of his
brother officers. keep your eye on the
cabman, Jim. Well have to take him
in. And look out for the other man,
quick!"
Then, addressing the cabman, upon
each of whose shoulders policeman's
hand was Immediately placed, he asked,
roughly:
"Who is this man?"
The cabman was completely sober
now. He stood, pale and trembling, be-
tween his two captors, as he replied SOL
emily: ~:: '~-~->,t>~~~
"Before God, I don't know, boss. Il
never saw him before"
The policeman looked at the man in
blank amazement for an instant. Then
he turned away CONTEMPORARY.
"All right, young feller," he said,
"you don't have to confess to me. But
I guess you'll have a chance to tell that
story to Judge and jury"
Then he proceeded to examine the
dead mans pockets. They were empty
Looks like robbery" he murmured
WHAT'S it, Jim? Haven't you got the
other man?''
Jim had not found the other man;
for the pale young fellow in the seal
skin cap had disappeared.
The reporter was STOPPING over thu
body, while DR.. Thurston cut through
the clothing and laid bare a small
round wound .

feet. He stood now as though dazed
by the shock, trying to understand
what had happened.
Are you hurt?" inquired one of the
policemen.
The man, mumbling an unintelligi-
BILE reply, raised his hand to scalp
wound from which the blood was
flowing freely.
At that moment two men forced
their way through the crowd which
circle of policemen had some diff
Guilty in keeping at distance from
the wounded cabman. One was a
middle-aged individual, who gave his
name as DR.. Thurston and offered his
services as physician; the other was
a young man with keen gray eyes,
who said nothing but exhibited a re-
porter's badge.
The physician at once turned his
| attention to the cabman; felt him,
thumped him, pinched him; smelt his
! breath; and then delivered his YER
| dict:
mo bones broken. The slight
scalp wound doesn't amount to any
thing. The man has been drinking
heavily. He is simply drunk"
The horse had by this time been
embarrassed and the cab had been
lifted upon it's wheels again.
The reporter stood by silent and
| apparently istless spectator of the
scene.
DR.. Thurston turned to him:
"Come along, Sturgis; neither you
! nor are needed here; and if we do not
hurry, sprague's dinner will have to
wait for us. It is a quarter to eight
now" -.
The reporter seemed about to follow
bis friend, but he stood for an instant
irresolute.
II say, DOCTOR" he inquired at last
ARE you sure the man is drunk?'
He has certainly been drinking
heavily: .Why?" " II A,
"Becauss i seem. to me-Heilo, "

badly hurt than the driver

man. :: '~n zs.
what passenger" asked the police:
man, looking at the cabman. Have
you passenger inside, young feller?'
"Naw," replied the cabman, who
seemed to be partially sobered by the
shock and loss of blood. NAV, aim,
got no fare, barrin' the man wot was
on the box"
The reporter observed the man close
~ as he spoke; and then, pointing to
the step of the cab, which was plainly
visible in the glare of a neighboring
electric lamp:
II mean the passenger whose blood ia
trucking there" he said, quietly.
Every eye was turned in the direction
of his outstretched hand.
A few drops of a thick dark liquid
had oozed from under the door, and
was dripping: upon the iron step. The
cab door was closed and the curtain
was drawn down over the sash, the
glass of which had been shattered by
| the fall.
One of the policemen tried to open
the door. 1t stuck in the jamb. Then

the cab and the cabman had disap-
peared in the custody Of the police,
and the claimants grewsome fare was
jolting through Twenty sixth street,
in the direction Of small building
which stands near the East river, and
in which the stranded waits of the new
world metropolis can find rest at last,
upon stone slab, in the beginning of
their eternal sleep,
Broadway had resumed it's holiday
aspect; the wizened bag at the corner
still patiently ground out her plaintive
discords; the fearful newsboy, with
his slowly diminishing armtul of news
papers, continued to SILVER in the cold
wind, rs he offered his stock to the
hurrying pedestrians; the big police
man again piloted his fair charges
through the mass of moving vehicles,
and the changing cable cars started
once more on their rumbling course,
as If the swapping of thread in the
fabric of a city's life were thing of
constant occurrence and Of no mo-
ment
A few tiny dark red stains upon the
pavement were all that remained to tell
the story of the scene Which had SO
recently been enacted in the busy
thoroughfare. Presently even these
were obliterated by the random stroke
of horses hoof.
The ripple had disappeared from the
surface. The stream of life was flow
ing steadily once more through the
arteries of the metropolis.

brute strength; and, of sudden, it
yielded. AS 1t flew open the body of a
man lurched from the inside of the cab,
and before anyone could catch it tum-
bled in a heap upon the pavement.
A low cry of horror escaped from the
crowd.
The claimants passenger was man
past middle age, neatly but plainly
dressed.
