MURDER IN A CAB.
MYSTERIOUS ASSASSINATION OF AN
UNKNOWN MAN, IN BROAD

CABMAN REILLY DENIES ALL
KNOWLEDGE OF THE CRIME.

Miss Murdock's glance rested care
lessly upon these words for an in
slant. They aroused in her nothing
more than the mild curiosity which
attaches to events of palpitating hu-
man interest, when they have been
CONCEALED in the columns of the daily
newspapers and served TO palates al
ready stated with sensational YER
bosity.
MARY said you wished to speak to
me" said the young girl, after a
short pause. Il thought would step
in to see you before going to Mr..
Sprague's."
ITO Sprague's?" inquired Murdock
fixing his keen eyes upon the young
girl. "Ah, yes; 1 remember he spoke
of the appointment last night. How
is the portrait coming on?"
ut is almost finished Probably
only one or two more sittings, at the
most, will be necessary"
Agnes seemed slightly embarrassed
by the fxity of her fathers search

armchair and assumed a look of defer
ent expectancy.

Count de Verteuil has died, as he
wished, alone.

The morning of the funeral the Ver-
teuil mansion is filled with sorrow
ing friends. The son and son-in-law
OF the count receive the guests with
the mute politeness of aff1iction. And
the mourners at the counts funeral
are not common mourners. The no.
blllty, the army, the magistracy, the
senate, the academy-yes, come they
all to Verteuil's funeral.
The procession sets out for the
church. The hearse is magnifcently
somber; black-plumed, black-draped,
its hangings edged. with silver; and
the pall-bearers, too, are magnificent
IN their way-a duke, feld-marshal,
a prime minister and an academician.
The black-gloved, black-crevated and
black-coated line files slowly through
the streets, while the busy passers-by
stop and uncover.
And the countess? Well, she is COM
pletely broken down with grief, say
the relatives. The countess is at home.
At the church the ceremony lasts for
nearly two hours. The organ thunders
forth its lamentations, the singers
wall theirs, while from torches held by
boys the green flames cast sickly pal
lor over the gathering.
rs not Faure, the celebrated tenor,
going to sing to-day?" asks one mourn
er of another
Yes" says mourner No. 2, an elder
ly beau, who has just been staring
through single eyeglass at pretty
mourner; Eyes, believe he is. All, that
is his voice now. What method! What
range! Eh?"
Yes, indeed" says mourner No. 1.
Never heard him sing better in my
life. All, it's pity poor Verteuil can't
hear him, amt it? He was very fond
of him."

One night madame the countess re-
turns from ball at two o'clock. She
is fatigued, is Nine. Mathilde. AS her
maid disrobes her, she says:
"The count, madame, is somewhat
unwell this evening""
The countess yawns. "Ah," she
murmurs. Then, as she extends her
form beneath the luxurious coverlet:
Wake me at ten tomorrow, Julie.
The modiste is coming"
At breakfast the next morning the
count does not appear. Madame is
concerned. She sends to inquire after
his health. The count is desolated; /;
he presents his excuses to madame,
but he cannot quit his chamber.
Madame is more concerned. She will
herself see the count. She enters.
She finds him in bed, extremely pale,
but extremely trim. He is a perfect
ly respectable invalid. The room
shows no vulgar signs of disorder
no vials scattered around, no furni-
ture misplaced. Three physicians are
whispering in a corner, and two we'll
trained domestics move noiselessly
about the room. This is no common
invalid-it is my lord the count of
Nerteuil who lies abed. This is not
your low and plebeian .'sickness"-it
is illness, trim and proper, and cere-
monious illness which is here.
"You are unwell, 1 see, my dear"
says the countess. Il hope it is moth
ing dangerous?"
The count smiles feebly-a some
what strained smile.
Not at ALL" he answers, with an
effort. "All l need is rest and quiet
am sorry to have put you to so much
trouble"
The days pass. The chamber re-
mains, as ever, well arranged The
SNUG and shaven faces of the serv-
ants are eXpressionless. Nothing is
changed-nothing save the master.
And he is much changed. For he lies
at deaths door, and he knows it.
Physicians shall not dole out weak
platitudes to Count de Verteuil But
sometimes, as he lies staring grimly
at nothing, the counts face shows
WEAKNESS.
In the world of fashion the countess
tells her friends that her husband is
little indisposed." She could not
say that he was more, for Nine.
Mathilde had not changed her life.
Rides, drives, balls and parties make
up the round. But nevertheless,
morning and evening the countess
dutifully visits her husbands cham
Der.
Better, l hope, to-day, my dear?"
"a little better, think, my dear
Mathilde.'
''If you wish it, my dear, will stay
with YOU"
Thanks, but it is unnecessary. 1t
would only fatigue you uselessly
Thanks, very much, nevertheless.
They understand each OF. .r per-
fectly. They have lived apart The
count would die apart. He enjoys a
certain bitter egotism in thus quit
ting life alone, without the comedy
of sorrow being played at his bed
side. And he will die with dignity.

A DECOROUS DEATH
BY Emile ZOla.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

HOUNT DE VERTEUIL is so years
of age. Blue blood runs in the
counts veins. His family is one of the
most ancient in France. Yellow gold
lies in the counts Golfers. His for
tune is one of the largest in France.
Honors are heaped upon the counts
head. He is a member of the Acad-
emy, a deputy, patron of the arts.
Countess Mathilde de Verteuil is SO.
Blond is Countess Mathilde-blond
and beautiful. Age does not wither
her. Her rounded shoulders, her sat
my skin her golden hair, her starry
eyes-all these make the matronly
beauty of the countess the envy of
younger rivals.
The Verteuil household is a thor
oughly respectable one. Dame Ru-
mor's tongue never wags concerning
it. Their marriage had been one of
eminent good taste, said the world
both wealthy, both of good family.
And then they had lived as husband
and wife for nearly six years. And
their two children-Ferdinand in the
army, and Blanche-had been so we'll
brought up. And they had married
Blanche very well. 1t is true they
no longer affect the sentimental hus-
band and wife. But what of that?
If each has a separate suite in the
Verteuil abode, do they not treat each
other with the utmost courtesy? They
are perfect models of department, and
nothing can be said against either.

Shall We Pay the Price?

The senatorial battle is on at
Boise and its effects already
threaten to be far reaching. From
the outlook Dubois is In desperate
straits. No other construction can
be put on the news that comes
from the capitol that he Is willing
to promise anything and every
thing te secure the votes necessary
to his election. He is willing to
pay the price and there are shrewd
politicians III the legislature who
are fixing the price tor him where
the cost will fall heavily upon
other heads than his.
1t appears from yesterdays dis
patches that Nez Perez county is
in line to pay part of the price for a
Dubois victory. The new county
promoters are in the saddle and to
hold their votes in line Du ois will
concede his support to the creation
of a new county. A Dubois victory
then means county division. In
the face of this declaration comes
the astonishing news that Nez
Perces delegates in the house wish
it understood that they are out
and out Dubois men, that they
voted for him in the caucus, and
did not bolt as the press reports
carried the news. It would appear
that Nez Perces representatives
have decided to pay the price.
The discussion Of the county d.
vision matter has been full and
ample in the public press and sum-
ming It all up there does not ap.
pear just reasons why Nez Perez
should be segregated and a new
county created. The voice Of Nez
Perez county is unanimous against
such division. yet in the conflict
between two plain duties the Nee
Perez delegates are in line against
their own convictions ana agains,
the expressed wishes of their con.
stituents. If The Dubois election is
consummated and 1t carries with it
as announced the segregation OF a
rich section of Nez Perez county,
the FIRST effects Of the glorious flu
sion victory will be rude awak-
ening to the protesting settlers on
the reservation.

Nee Perce's representatives In

choose between two plain duties.
Under the quasi agreement of the

tory for the county division bill, to

elected them have asked them to
do both things. In this conflic of
