Sprague started to his feet; and,
following the direction in which Stur-
gis was pointing with his open knife,
he vaguely discerned, through the
opening which the reporter had whit
tied small surface of what had
once been the features of human
being.
After gazing for some minutes in
horror-stricken silence at the distort-
ed face, the artist asked in a low
voice:
How did Chatham meet his death?"
Il don't know yet answered Stur-
gis. gravely; this man is no ordinary
criminal. His work is clean and
leaves no blood-stains and.no disorder
to tell of its accomplishment. He
takes life with his own hands only
when he is forced to do so; but. when
he does. his method is mastery. 1t

The price of his complicity?" he
claimed, laying his hand upon Sturgis'
arm and looking earnestly into his
eyes,
Yes" replied the reporter, steadi-

daughters hand
Sprague looked away from the hon
est eyes of the reporter. as if he
dreaded to read in them the answer
TO his next question.
"Who is this fiend incarnate, who
is willing to traffic in his own flesh
and blood, and with whom murder is
a science?"
The man who is capable Of these
crimes. and of any others which
might serve 10 remove an obstacle

The reporter did not finish his SEN
tence. He suddenly grasped his COM
panion by the arm and stood trans
fixed. his eyes dilated, his neck craned
in listening attitude, every muscle
tense Ike those of q wild animal in
ambush about to spring upon its APP
preaching prey.
Presently Il click was heard as
though a bolt had been shot from its
socket.
Draw your revolver!" Sturgis whis-
pered hoarsely to his companion.
Quick. Look there"
At the same time he drew his own
weapon and pointed in the direction
Of the door at the head of the stairs.
The door opened and man entered,
quietly smoking cigar.

with horror.
Murdock. still holding the door ajar,
eyed the two men for an instant, his
impassive face betraying not the
slightest sign of emotion. Then, TAX

The Christmas shopping season Is on
and the stores will be busy places for
the next week. The holiday displays
were never more elaborate or more at
tractive and the Christmas spirit Is in
the crisp December air. The people of
our city have no possible excuse for
going elsewhere or sending elsewhere
for anything they may want at this
season. The Augusta merchants are
equal to all demands and merit the
patronage they solicit. Buy early"
should be the motto. Don't put off
your holiday shopping until next week
when the stocks will be depleted, the
stores crowded and but little time left
fer making selections. 81.

laid aside her famous husband in the
splendid tomb at Riverside park, over
looking the Hudson. Her death re-
wives the romantic story of her wOoing.
She was a Missouri girl and the sister
of Grants chum at West Point. There
were parental objections to overcome
for she was very young and the newly
fiedged officer was very poor. But
Lieutenant Grant had the same stuff
in him that was later possessed by
General Grant and President Grant
and he did not allow obstacles to stop
him. She was devoted to her husband
and was model mother. a good wom-
an who made the world better for pass

Reflections Of a Bachelor


Woman is the weaker vessel filled with
tears. f>
Womer's rights begin where mems
wrongs leave off.
A great many more men would want to
go to church if there was a law against
it.
When a woman makes up her mind to
marry man the way she begins to catch
him and does catch him is to make him
understand she would not marry him for
anything under the sun.
Coal bills piled on top OF Christmas
bills get man In good condition for OBJ
serving Lent.
A good many good men take good care
to show their greatness by standing al
ways among little men.
If man will only let doctors fool with
him long enough he can go on being sick
for the rest OF his life.
1t is a brave man who would get out o:
bed with the mercury below zero to see II
there were burglars down stairs.

The Winter Wind.

Vince you! Hear the breeze
Rushing through the trembling trees,
Rattling at the window pane,
Silent now, then up again
Trying every bolt and bar;
If the easement be ajar,
How he struggles to get in y
Like some plundering sprite Of sin!
How he snarls when held at bay, .''''
Longing for his living prey;
How he shrieks with laughter wild
When he sees some half-clad child!
Vince you! Feel the storm!
Let us hasten where it's warm
For so fiercely comes the chill,
With it's bitter biting thrill;
There is scarcely time to heed g
Those who feel the pinch of need;
Scarcely time to realize =
That the last red ember dies DO.
Like the faith that flickers low
In some home of want and woe.

That old saw about a woman never
being able to hit anything is evidently
in need of being filed. Otherwise, how
can we account for the 125 deer
shipped through Bangor this fall. killed
by women hunters? There were about
5000 deer in all shipped through that
city, and in proportion to their num-
bers the women hunters probably
brought out more game than the men.
The fair sex seems to find it easier to
aim rifle than to throw stone. but
some of the guides look very wise and
discreetly refuse to be interviewed
when the subject of these women
hunters are mentioned. 1t is worthy
of note that the game season has also
seen mt least two bears killed by
women in Maine. '.-
