All this Mrs. Kendall saw and heard.
The strange, strong face saddened. and
only allowed a little more to be shown A
great turmoil arose over the disappearance
of Miss Fairworth. and the broken-hearted
old father. coming daily to tell his grief to
the murderer, offering everything; half. yes,
all his fortune to find even n trace of his
idolized daughter. because, he thought,
man who knew SO many people might learn
something.
The murderer, sitting in terror, obliged to
listen and always afraid of his cowardly
companion in crime. An answer came, as

And the cowardly murderers? They shall
be forever burdened with their crime! poor,
abandoned and crazed by. hunger, they
shall bring out the truth. Then Mrs.
Kendall came back to life: the doctor spoke:
THE crisis has passed. 1t was near twi-
light; flowers were OF the windowsill. The
daughters came In softly on tiptoe, saying,
Mamma. it is US; you are here. Now, 1t

The nurse came to the bed with such
look of relief. Mrs. Kendall whispered,
How long did / sleep?" "A little over
forty minutes" said the nurse she look
ed at her watch.
What is the magic that gives dreams
the mighty power to annihilate time and
space?"
Mrs. KendalHs family while living in the
country were somewhat the victims Of
terrible storm that carried destruction ey-
erywhere.
Mrs. KendalPs first thought was to come
to the old house in Washington and see
what havoc had been wrought. She did
so. As she drove UP it was she sur
missed; that cracked sidewalk had gone
down, and. as one of the workmen said who
was trying to repair damages: This old
house ought to have been utterly destroyed
Many crimes were committed there Why,
there was room that had been walled up,
In it found a skeleton; 1t must have
been a woman, for there was lot of long
black hair; / reckon some doctor had his

Mrs Kendall shivered. but said nothing,
though she was glad when a newsboy Of
fered her paper Looking at it mechani-
cally, almost the first thing she saw was
that some charitable people were endeavor-
ing to get two half-demented men, who
were living in a shanty down on the river
flats. to abandon the howell which they oc-
cupied and consent to be placed In better
home. She drove there also. Looking at
them. she felt that she again saw the muir
haunted house. Their chains were invisible

SUICIDE STATISTICS.
Number Who Kill Themselves is on
the Increase

From the Medical Record.
Mr.. Hoffman gives a table in which the
returns for. so cities have been brought
together, the table showing. first. the aver
age actual and relative mortality from sui
eide in each of the cities during the decade
1S91-1900; and second, the actual and rela-
tive mortality from suicide during 1901.
This table points out that the average NOR
tally from suicide during 1S91-190o was
equivalent to a rate Of ISL per 100000 OF
population. During the year 1901 the rate
was 1876, an increase of 90 per 100000 OF
population. The city In which suicide has
been of most frequent occurrence during
the ten-year period in ST. Louis, No, while
the rate was lowest in Fall River, Mass.
In the former city the rate was 25.7 per
100000. against only 90 in the latter. Dur
ing the year 1901 the suicidal frequency
was not exaeting the same as established
by the ten-year average, but, generally
speaking, the cities subject to an excessive
mortality from suicide maintained their
respective ratios during successive years
OF the 80 cities. 81 show an increase in the
rate, while 10 show decrease. when the
year 1901 is compared with the average
for the preceding decade.
Mr.. Hoffman Is particularly interested in
the suicide question as 1T relates to the in
suranee companies. and gives the mortality
from suicide experienced by the New York
Mutual Life from 1S43-1SS5 and from 1856
1888. During the IrSt Will
1885, of the deaths from all causes suicides
formed 10 per cent. the percentage having
increased during the second period to "a
per cent. In the aggregate there have been
991 suicides among males during the period
under observation, and the relative increase
in the proportionate mortality has been 20
per cent. II separate age groups be consld-
cred 1t appears that at ages under forty
ave the proportion OF suicides to the total
mortality increase from 81 per cent to 80
per cent At ages forty-five to sixty the
increase was "a per cent to az per cent,
crease in the proportionate mortality from
10 per cent to OF per cent. Among fe-
males the proportion Of suicides was OF
per cent of the deaths at all ages during
the first period under observation. The pro-
portionate mortality from this cause III
creased to 90 per cent during the period
ending with 1893.

Scribners book store and asked for some
book by Wilson which had his portrait In
it. Il want to see what the man looks

He had directed his question to a smooth

he wore no hat 1t was natural to have
taken him for one Of the clerks. That he
was not clerk. however, appeared when
the gentleman picked up a derby hat from
the table as he answered.:
There Is no portrait Of Wilson in any Of
his books, but IL you will go up to the mag

The Wadsworth Problem

The Ogden Standard as the follow
ing: The Wordsworth railroad people
arenot exhibiting the right spirit to-
ward the company to which they owe
ALLEGIANCE. Not long ago a tOwnsite
was selected by the officials OF the
Southern racific, being the first move
in the direction OF building ur new
she ps near Reno, Nevada, made nee
essary by the improvement work on
the new route which is to cut Wads-
worth Of the main line. The town is
TO be outside the city limits of Reno,
Nevada's metropolis, where the rail-
road secured land sufficient to provide
all the employees, compelled to for
sake their present homes at Wads-
worth, new lots on which to build the
same to be furnished without cost and
the old buildings to be moved thereon
without expense. The employees have
entered a protest, demanding that the
new shops be located in Reno, and
are placing obstacles in the way OF
the company's present plans.
The conduct of the men offers lit
te encouragement for the railroad
people to extend a helping hand be
yOnd the mere eXactioEs OF business
principles. Few companies have beHI
prompted by a more liberal polio,

employees Of the Southern Racific IN

buff with which their friendship ha
been met offers little encCuragem
for repetition of the same on al.
