AT this moment we entered tho
room to find Hayle sta7ding viii b;e

the balcony, which in it's turn over
looked the somewhat steep slono

seen before. On the other side of
the table was Kitwater, with lone
KNIFE IN his hand. lie was leanin@
forward in a crouchnlg position. as
II he were preparing for a spring.
On hearing our steps, however. he
turned his sightless face towards us
1t was Hayle, however, who seemed
the most surprised. He stared at me
as If L were a man returned from the
dead.
Put up that revolver, Codd." I
cried. "And you, Kitwater, drop
that knife. Hayle, my man, it's ali
up. The game is over, so you may as
well give in
LeglOsse was about to advance
upon him, warrant in one hand and
manacles in the other.
What does this mean?" cried
Hayle
His voice located him, and before
we could either of us stop him, Kit
water had sprung forward and
clutched him in his arms. Of what
followed next scarcely like to
think, even now. In cannoning with
Hayle he had dropped his knife, and
now the two stood while man
could have counted three, locked to-
gether in deadly embrace. Then en-
sued such a struggle as 1 hope 1 shall
never see again, while we others
stood looking on as if we were bound
hand and foot. The whole affair
could not have lasted more than
few moments, and yet it seemed like
an eternity. Kitwater, with the
strength of a mailman, had seized
Hayle round the waist with one arm.
while his right hand was clutching
at the others throat I saw that
the veins were standing out upon
Hayle's forehead like black cords. |
Do what he could, he could not shake |
OF the man he had so cruelty |
wrOnged. They swayed to and fro, |
and in one of their lurches struck |
the window, which flew open and |
threw them into the balcony outside. !
Codd and the Sicilian police official
gave loud cries, but as for me l could |
not have uttered sound had my
life depended on it. Hayle must have
realized his terrible position, for
there was a look of abiect, hopeless
terror upon his face. The blind man.
of course, could see nothing of his
danger. His one desire was to be re-
venged upon his enemy. Closer and
closer they came to the fraiI rail
ing. Once they missed it, and stag
gered a foot away from it. Then
they came back to it again, and

the edge on to the sloping bank be-
low. Still locked together, they
rolled over and over, down the de-
clivity towards the edge of the cliff.
A great cry from Hayle reached our
ears. A moment later they had dis
into the abyss, while we
stood staring straight before US, too
terrified to speak or move.
Leglosse was the first to find his
voice.
MY Godl" he said, "how terrible!
how terrible!"
Then little Codd sank down, and,
placing his head upon his hands on
the table, sobbed like a little child.
"What is to be done?" l asked, in
Mortified whisper.
GO down to the rocks and search
for them" said the Sicilian officer,

EnnIish ARMY lnefficient.

London, June 9.-The report of the
committee on military training and
education says that the junior officers
are deficient in military knowledge
and lazy; that mediocrity is allowed
to pass muster. and as a result the En-
lish army is lamentably inefficient.

THE TWO MEN FELL OVER THE
EDGE ONTO THE SLOPING BANK
BELOW.
''but 1 doubt if we shall be able to
find them; the sea is very deep off this
point"
We went Kitwater's body was dis
covered, terribly mutilated, upon the
rocks. Hayle's remains were never
found Whether he fell into the deep
water and was washed out to sea, or
whether his body was jammed between
the rocks under the water, no one
would ever be able to say. 1t was
gone, and with it all that were left
of the stones that had occasiOned their
misery.
Codd did not accompany us in the
search, and when we returned to the
villa above he was not to be found.
Never since the moment when we left
him sobbing at the table have 1 set
eyes on him, and now, 1 suppose, in
all human probability 1 never shall.
Later on we returned to Palermo to
break the news to Miss Kitwater.
Shocked though she was, she received
the tidings with greater calmness
than I had expected she would do.
Perhaps, after all, she felt that 1T was
better that it should have ended so.

SUED FOR MILLIONS

NEW YORK, November 24.-What
will probably be the biggest lawsuit
ever brought in the courts of the
United States from the standpoint Of
the amouit of money involved, has been
begun in an action brought by Walter
Morsehead, representing the minority
stockholders of the Central Pacific Rail-
road to recover more than 800, 900, 900
from the estate of Coils p. Huntington
which sum the plaintiffs declare the
stockholders of the Central Pacific were
defrauded of by the Vaccinations Of
Coils p. Huntington, Leland Stanford
Charles Croker, and Mark Hopkins.
known in the gigantic railroad deal Of
years ago as the big Four"
The plaintiffs have secured from the
Supreme Court an order to show cause
why the executors of the Huntington
estate should not file an inventory of
the estate, so that they may know how
many millions they may recover if the
suit is successful, as the entire Hunt
ington estate would undoubtedly be
swallowed up, whereupon suits would
be begun against the heirs of Leland
Stanford, Charles Crocker and Mark
HOPKINS.

CABLE AND UNCLE
SAM IN ACCORD
CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE AT
TORNEY GENERAL AND CABLE
COMPANY is SATISFACTORY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Clarence
w. Mackay, president of the CONNER
cial Pacific Gable Company; George G..
Ward, vice-president, and William w.
Cook, general counsel for the company,
had an interview today with the Attor-
ney General with respect to the condi-
tions prescribed by President Roosevelt
for constructing a transpacific cable.
These conditions were approved by the
President in July last, since which time
the Pacific Gable Company has not Of
ticially notified the Government as to
it's intention or willingness to accept
them.
Today, however, Mackay explained to
the Attorney General that the delay
was caused by protracted negotiations,
which have only been brought to a
conclusion within the last few days, to
secure landing place in China to COM
ply with the Presidents condition that
an Independent American line should
be constructed from Manila to Hong
kong, thus giving an all-American
through line to the Asiatic continent.
1t was this condition that was sup
posed to be the one that the cable COM
pany would be unwilling or unable to
comply with. 1t now announces it's abil-
ity and intention to construct a line
from Manila to Shanghai, a distance of
about 1,2OO miles, and to have the same
completed within a year.
Owing to the claim of the Pacific
Gable people that, as they read one of
the other conditions, it will practically
prevent the necessary relations with
existing lines in China to secure the
transmission of American messages to
interior points, that provision is being
recast to obviate Observation-Disclosures
and will be submitted to the President
in a modified form within a few days.
